      We aren't gonna get anything from Arteta.

      I think Timber was just rested and Calafiori pulled out in the warmup so it's probable that he's not too far off. I dunno what to do either as a Calafiori owner. Probably will just bench him and play Keane this week.

    I'm considering Rodon > Heaven. That gives me money for Calafiori > Gabriel in future weeks if I have the transfers spare.
    Roll the FT this week? Or make the move?

    We're not gonna find anything out about Calafiori right? Maybe I should just play Keane?

    I legit think Cole Palmer is the best captain this week. He's had increased minutes, he's playing the 2nd worst team in the league who just shipped 4 to Brentford.

    Is it complete madness to consider Saka > Palmer?

        Definitely not for a hit. But I'm thinking about it... Might need to see if he actually did alright yesterday or not.

        I probably won't simply because it's City after this fixture.
