    Hi all. Apologies for the long post, but I have to decide between two teams and would appreciate your help.

    Which team looks better?

    Flekken
    Porro, Muñoz, Hall / Robinson, Barco
    Salah, Palmer, Foden, Ødegaard, Rogers
    Watkins, Isak / 4.5

    Flekken
    TAA, Porro, Muñoz / Robinson, Barco
    Saka, Palmer, Foden, ESR / Rogers
    Watkins, Isak / Solanke

    It's basically the following:
    A. Flekken, Salah, Odegaard, 4.5 def
    B. Raya, Saka, Solanke, Trent

    P.S. I know Foden will probably not start GW1, but I'd want him v. Ipswich and I don't like to book transfers.

          BFD - Juventus and Bayern are extremely dominant in those leagues, not really a challenge. Plus at Juve, he played with the big two CBs. If he was that in demand/revered, United of all clubs wouldn't be able to get him so easily without any competition and for a reasonable price.
