      Not sure how you'll be priced out of one this season

      Especially since you'll rarely need your third sub or second GK on FH

      If you've drawn up a draft and the funds seem tight, then yeah

        Richards is easily worth the extra. Palace probably 3rd or 4th best defence in the league. Burnley arent last two seasons relegated teams terrible but they will lose most of their games this season without getting thumped too often. Limits Electric Steve's ceiling somewhat

        There would be some educated guesswork and it would only really work with Saturday games certain of going that morning and it improving Sunday /Monday.
