    This Sunderland defense is the real deal. Mukiele and Alderete are unbelievable value.

          Think he will keep his spot given the lack of options but if he continues to pull off bad performances, Pep might play gvardiol there and just be rid of him

    Feel like other than Haaland there hasnt been a “premium” player who has been consistent for a long enough period to actually be worth the money. They had a brief few weeks of form but then nothing really long enough to be a stable season long pick. Maybe this is the season for differentials? With minimal premium mix and match?

      Yes hate the general pool of picks. Defensive midfielders shining, flair midpriced premium attackers either injured or underperforming. No fbs except Munoz for sometime better than their corresponding cbs. Held saka since gw6 wc but has flattered to deceive most weeks
