      Haaland, I commented on another comment earlier - "City's last fixtures against Wolves have been 3-0, 3-0, 5-1 with a Haaland Hat-trick. Luton have scored 3 goals all season." Could be a good differential but if there was a differential to go for I'd still go like Salah

        I think I had the Leeds keeper in a few seasons ago and he was getting peppered in goal but Managed to get the clean sheet plus saves and bonus. Somehow made listening to it exciting on what was otherwise due to be a way crap game. Could be you on Monday night if Leno keeps up this form!

    Question for the statisticians amongst us:

    So Haaland has an average 8.5pts per match and Morris has 5.2pts so say 10.4pts over the two games (I appreciate not an exact science for predicting points but same principle for any model calculating an average expected points)

    So with Haaland at 8.5 and Morris at 10.4 can you calculate the chance of one out scoring the other?

    I think people should look to save their wildcard where they can. Doesn’t seem a huge need for lots of the teams wildcarding atm to do it where as there will be big benefits to saving towards xmas.

    Also… think we should hang tight on Saka, he probably starts and if he doesn’t you’ll want him back in. He’s one of best players in league and is fixture proof. I’d rather have Saka v Man City than Ward Prowse v Luton. Facts.

        I don’t think so, honestly. 5 games Saka v City, JWP v Luton I think Saka comes away with same or more points. So factoring in the 2x transfers (take out and get back in) it’s not worth it
