    I did want to play Solanke but put in Bowen instead because of the fixture.
    
    Fwiw I do think Solanke scores but thought Bowen could do more damage too.

  At the start of the GW, your decision made total sense. Always gonna have bench hindsight in FPL, but I feel you made the right call. Especially after Bowen got 90 and you backed him, unlucky not to see a return there.

Just been on ebay live chat as had issue with returning something. To my amazement, after telling the customer service guy about my OR, he said congratulations. Very pleasantly surprised.
Going to return a few other things I bought in the hope I can speak to him again.

No doubt you'll all have the same idea now so I'll be expecting at least a 30 minute wait in the queue!
