      Probably but if it's say 1-1 at Goodison Park then Kev could be on for the final 30 mins.

      I'd be more keen on an Arsenal midfielder tho.

    ETH didn't rule out Rashford for this weekend. Just states he has a leg injury and a major doubt. I don't think it's enough info for me to sell when I have Shaw and Estupinan currently on the bench. There are 7 days between Wolves and Bournemouth to wait for more info.

    Yet again nonsensical price changes which have priced me out of moves. Firstly the other day despite already having low ownership and returning in his last 3 games including a goal and an assist in his last game, Maddison drops in value. And now Shaw. No double this week and only 1 return in 8 games but rose in value last night. Makes no sense. FPL seem to make the price changes up as they go along.

        Other option is Ferguson + Rashie -> Wilson/Isak + McAllistar for a hit. Giving me a benching headache.
