  I sold him for Stewart this morning on wildcard, as figured at least Stewart might get minutes when fit.
  
  But then I decided a locked price might be better option, and had the same issue as you lol.
  
  Can't but them once on loan. Can keep them if in team.

  If I had Watkins I would take a chance on him this week. Still early enough in the season to get away with failed Hail Mary's.

While I understand the New - Spurs fixture has been goal fest in the past and Newcastle scoring a lot at home, this is a different game altogether. Spurs are in a 'better' momentum and I can see them winning here. Keeping Isak is the most difficult decision this week, with Watkins as the replacement.

is Ugarte going to improve Bruno as an option? Less dropping back and initiating attacks, more running beyond the striker for Bruno this season, like when he initially joined. of course Mainoo already has helped in this aspect
