        Yes it does make more sense. I see BHA doing some damage to WHU at home and you reckon Pedro has to play, but De Zerbi being a bit too obtuse in the presser has me wondering

      B or C and keep a transfer for GW4. Probably B for me but you know Bruno will find the points once you do. Jackson good numbers but unproven yet, I'm going to wait until he scores. Also it is Chelsea and they were incredible at dodging points last season.
