    Thought I’d put out all the fires in my team (except Stach who is perma 3rd bench) and was looking forward to some weeks of saving transfers and hopefully racking up points.
    But the Woltemade early sub is very worrying.
    Are owners holding and seeing what happens or is it time to get rid?

          I just wanted to try him out on free hit and was disappointed from what I saw today. He has been excellent so far so patience should probably be given here. I just though even before the gameweek he will tick along just fine but I don’t see him keeping up with Mateta and I quite like Welbeck/Thiago for less money and think they are just as good as Woltemade if not better options.
