    I’m about 60 points behind my main rival, taken a -4 this week to get to this. Do I go rogue and captain someone like TAA? Or go safe with haaland/Salah?

    Raya
    TAA - Trippier - Shaw
    Salah - Grealish - Mac10 - Mitoma - Rashford
    Haaland - Isak

    Kepa - Watkins - Botman - Zinchenko

      Your maverick plan could end up with you trailing by 80. Captain Haaland and hope any differentials chip away at the deficit

      I think that if you want to win it, that is the sort of move you are going to have to make. Of course, you could end much further behind so it really depends on what is on the line.

      TC chip is likely a differential in your ML. Use it on who you think will score the most point this GW

      I’m in the same boat - not considering Salah, but torn between Haaland this week or GW37. Will probably use it this week.

        That's what I'm on, but his lack of minutes and Wilson form gave me minor doubts.

        Thanks for clarification!

          They are both in incredible form. Isak won't play the full 90, but he's dangerous with even 20-30minutes. I think he will start and then get taken off 2nd half though.

            I think he'll start and could stay on for 90. He showed in his cameo against Everton he can play on the left. It might be one of the mids that makes way for Wilson coming on.

          It is a risk but what isn’t? It was thought Wilson would get the nod V Everton. Both Wilson and Isak have had injuries this year so how is being sensible. The one slight concern is that, when asked which would start at the weekend in his presser, Howe said he didn’t know until he’d watched Southampton videos. I still think he starts Isak but that’s just my gut

      Tough one...

      Can you not do Raya and Mee? Brentford have a better CS chance than Brightin I reckon...I understand you want to protect rank and go for one from each though....

      Steele and Raya could both got save point etc and bonuses even if they concede, so I would start the keeper with the smaller chance of a CS (this is Steele I think) and then go with Mee.

      I suppose with the double though you might well want to start both Brighton as they could outscore Brentfords one game
