    Do we think the best course of action for a weekend where I don't severely regret decisions is Hazard (C) knowing if one of the others haul then I'll still see points

      Have the same issue and biggest challenge in my mini league has Hazard but neither of the others so have been tempted to captain Haz for safety sake all week. I'm putting the band back on Salah though and hoping this is the get right game to make good on all his positive stats so far.

I kept in the end and did Mendy>Pereira for -4 instead. My bench is Neves,Bennett,Kamara so really didn't want to end up with two of them coming in. Good luck with the gw
