      I think Raya will end on the most points (captain obvious) but someone like Roefs will prove value.

    Even if Bowen doesn't get points here, he is still a good hold as he always has this sort of thing in him, even when not returning, he's basically on the edge of returning

    I can't remember a season like this one, where there is a lack of consistent midfield options

    It probably makes the fpl more interesting as majority of the top scoring midfielders are on similar points if you ignore Semenyo
