    Came to a point I have to admit that selling DCL over JP was a bad call, DCL was still on pens, better team and form, just seemed dull and JP had that haul spark in him. Bad management after all, can only blame myself.

    So sick of Harry Wilson. Done absolutely nothing in my team for weeks, kept him for Wolves and comes on for 1pt to block Watkins 15pts. Hope he moves to Burnley.

    Owning Bowen doesn't seem like an entirely wise move.

    What are the actual best 3 forwards to own for the last week?
