    I need both Semenyo and Wirtz. But it’s not the most ideal entry week is it?

    Not sure about Haaland C next week either, might be JP

      Yeah playing each other next week isn’t ideal. Probably still get one of them in early to avoid price rises though.

        Have been sleeping a little in Semenyo too. I’m one of 2 not to have him in ML.

        Reluctant to get rid of Rogers given the upcoming fixtures, but may have too.

    But at least Haaland(c) and Semenyo are doing their best to save my season.
