Maresca himself came out and said he's a key player

Kind of what might make him an excellent pick. Or a rubbish one.

I’d not be too surprised if he scored 30 points in the first three weeks.

I’d also not be too surprised if he scored 3 points in the first three weeks.

Get and captain those two or three players who score 100 points in the first three weeks

Close one, I'd say A, but working Szoboslai and Semenyo together would be great.

B has more upside

Ndiaye is off now?

Boring

In isolation Sarr. But it depends what you do with the extra 0.5 if you go with Le Fée

VVD for me

Tarkowski

VVD only because of fixtures

VVD, better set & forget option. Better fixtures, slightly better goal treat and also good for DEFCON, just like Tarkowski. For me its worth the 0.5 more

It is best to play when you have 15 players guaranteed to start, in good form, with good fixtures.

It rarely works when you expect it to, so using it pre-WC is probably a sensible approach

I want it out of the way, and doing it basically on a wildcard means I can target players

Going GW2 as Sunderland, Coventry and Leeds allow for a good bench

Don't like both options tbh. But B for more secure minutes. Spence to much risk for me with Udogie and Robertson around

I’m going Vuskovic and B Thomas but not based on fixtures, instead on the merits of them regardless of fixture (DEFcon, set piece threat)

maybe garner or whichever new forward they add

VVD

Nobody knows yet, but they've only been awarded 3 or 4 penalties over the last 2 seasons combined, so don't get your hopes up on this one.
