benching Senesi for Struijk hurts so much, expected goals against was better for Leeds but a 13 point swing.

Can O'Reilly take a game off?

Thoughts on Richarlison as a punt till the end?
LEE/che/EVE
Spurs will look to outscore rather than keep CS I’d presume and he will be leading the attack, surely he get a few before the end?

Leeds good attack but do concede, Chelsea concede a lot, Everton back a agaisnt old team he will be pumped for the last game?

That refcam offers the viewer nothing, who needs to see the referee perspective handing out a yellow card or praying the turf with white foam. So gimmicky.

  I freaking hate him. He's been rubbish since I've owned him on WC24 and I just cannot seem to shift him either because he always seems to have a good run of fixtures and/or there's some other fire to put out instead.

  Depends on their minutes on Thursday & how many FTs you have.
  
  They're 3-1 up against Shakhtar, so if they build on that 1st half we could see early subs for the likes of Munoz & Sarr.
  
  If you have 5 FTs you might as well punt on 2-3 and move them out the week after, but I'd prioritise Arsenal if I only had a couple of FTs.

  Muñoz the only one I'm considering and that's because I've got an injured Gudmundsson and £6m in the bank.
