        That’s what I’m banking on especially how the other Brentford players are scoring goals and points.

        If he does nish, I will be downgrading him to Barry

    Well, I've known this decision was coming for a long time but I'm still no closer to making one. Who would you bench from:
    A) DCL
    B) Tzolis
    C) Semenyo
    D) Wirtz

    I don't love DCL but benching a penalty taking forward seems dubious. Can't see myself benching Tzolis after how he and Aston Villa looked last week. The other two were just irritating last week although Wirtz was denied a goal with a brilliant save.

    Does Barry or KDH get pens if Ndiaye goes to City?

      Would it be Grealish if he’s back at Everton? Otherwise seeing it as Barry taking them instead

        KDH a very good pick for his price even without penalties.

      He's a good option but one good GW doesn't mean form. Captain choice up to the individual.

      Captaining Palmer. VC Pedro.
