    Isak in current form Vs the worst team in the league

    OR

    Jota (maybe) 20-30 mins Vs Spurs + (maybe) 90 mins Vs Fulham

    Is it that clear cut to just go with the doubler? Isak looked immense vs Everton and Jota might only get 10-30 mins more over two games.

      It also has Gordon starting ahead of Joelinton for Newcastle. I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

        Neale gave his reason why Joelinton could be benched. He has a good success rate with team predictions over the season.

          Yeah, I know I being a bit cheeky. He does a great job. It might not be beyond the realms of possibility that one of the Newcastle mids gets a rest. It's an area Newcastle really need to strengthen numbers wise in the summer to play twice a week.

      If you're 130 points behind you need to be more radical than that. Maybe punt on Gakpo or TAA for captain?

      No, you’re picking TAA for what he does going forward. A bi-product of TAA’s new role is more defensive responsibility for Robbo. TAA or nothing imo

      Robbo has capable cover in Tsimikas, and TAA has looked good offensively in recent games.

      If they both get 20 points, TC on Haaland would get you 60 + Salah's 20 = 80, but assuming most captain Haaland and don't have Salah, it's effectively 80-40=40.

      If you TC Salah you get 60+ Haaland's 20 = 80, but you effectively lose 20 because most will captain him. 80-20 = 60. This assumes people don't own Salah.
