    Issues seem to be mounting up:

    Raya
    Dorgu, Gab, Senesi, O'Reilly
    Foden, BrunoG, Wilson, Minteh
    Woltemade, Haaland

    (Dub, Wirtz, Ekitike, Chalobah) 1FT, 1.2m

    Plan was Minteh > Rice
    Wolte being dropped (rested?) is a problem. Will probably swap Wirtz in.

    Reckon I can get away with no hit?
