    Haven’t checked FPL rules recently, but how many points do we get from five flagged players, four of which are defenders?

        Thanks, I didn’t even think about semenyo leaving….will change his and probably upgrade Guiu. Wirtz has looked good last few games and I think he will start more with Isak and Salah out, probably a gamble but happy to do it with the others pretty much nailed on starters

      The main issue with Guiu is you're just deciding which defenders to start.

      If you are busy it's probably ideal tho.
