    Happy to Saturday to everyone.

    Is Botman or Gvardiol -> Gabriel to only move I should be making?

    Really want to get in Bowen with his fixtures but can’t see a way of doing it without losing Mitoma (great fixture), Mbuemo (possibly most underpriced player in the game) or Saka (although would sell Saka if confirmed out)- can anyone see a way?!

    Pickford
    Trippier / Cash / Gvardiol
    Mbuemi / Mitoma / Saka / Luis / Salah
    Haaland / Alverez

    Turner / Botman /Beyer / Archer

      Good team. Diaby vs Bowen or Gordon is a tricky call. Forrest have decent defensive stats (ninth worst xGC, in between Spurs and Man Utd), but they are away vs West Ham so I'd keep Bowen. Probably I'd play Diaby over Gordon because Villa are at home. FWIW, Diaby has a higher expected points in Scout than Bowen or Gordon this week.

      No change to your defence or attack. I hope for your sake Darwin is more clinical or he will be outscored by someone on your bench!
