Reckon I'll hold off of the switch to Haaland until next week. My Watkins/Gykores and Palmer/Saka too good for this week.

Palmer/Watkins = Anderson/Haaland not worth a hit right?

I should probably just roll?

  Yes my thoughts too. Haaland would be a great pick this week and i am worried about him ruining my early season going without, especially as I also forgone Salah.. The -4 for this week just makes me hold off I reckon. Palmer/Saka/Watkins/Gykores are all capable of making my weekend a regret if i ship.

  Haaland may go up in price tonight though… does that change things at all?

    Not for me. I have 1.5 in bank so Gykores/Watkins and Palmer/Saka still allows any mid up to 7.0 and would likely at present be Anderson and £'s for elsewhere later.
