              Good luck! I'd like to make a punt or two in GW38 myself but feels like I've made my bed with focusing on moving things around for KDB this week and then Salah back for Soton plus one punt, GW38 is always a bit crazy and huge gains to be made if you can get those punts right

      Unlucky, plenty of time to go though, thought I read he's appeared in every game this season despite starting most on the bench so he'll surely come on and may start v Brighton

    Good to see no Roca, an absolute liability and some of the worst distribution ever witnessed.
