      Either way you need Haaland he’s a machine.

      Trust your gut you’re good at this & advice given over years has helped me improve.

      Wk 6 approaching & we now know who’s sh1te & who’s decent, if confident go B

      I’m running with both Salah & Haaland & doing better than expected, trusting my judgement & not afraid to take a hit to change team (just limiting to -4)
