    If I take -4 to replace Rashford I can use my BB but who is a good replacement? I'll have 7.6 to spend...I already have Saka and Odegaard so I think Martinelli would be overkill lol. Maybe Eze? Thanks!

          A for today as he will probably get decent minutes but then he probably won't play that much over the double so will need a rethink next week.
          Don't think I'd want to ditch grealish just now but if you do opt for that then Ode or Zaha maybe.

    Morning all. 1FT and 1.7m ITB. My worry this week is Rash, Grealish and Dalot not playing.

    Edersen
    TAA - Estupinan - Trippier
    Salah - Rashford - Mitoma - MacAllister
    Haaland - Isak - Wilson

    (Iversen) - Grealish - Dalot - Coufal

    A) Grealish > Mahrez (GW37 Mahrez may be benched)
    B) Dalot > Shaw (secured start over Dalot)
    C) Save (this week could have only 10 players potentially)

      I went Grealish to Mahrez for same reasons. I think he'll get consistent minutes now, he's in favour and playing well.

      Kane is returning but Isak has two games to do it in. If it also helps you get more double GW players next week then it could pay off.

      Scroll up a bit and you'll see a few comments on this. I was on the fence a bit but think most have valid arguments for sticking the armband on a Newcastle forward.
