        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.

      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.
