    A) Haz, Ings > Auba, Hayden/4.3
    B) A + Richarlison > Son for -4

    Questions is basically is Son worth -4 against LEI vs Rich against Watford. Also Son rising in price could affect.

    This David Brooks injury doesn't sound too bad then. Might make bgw27, and should certainly make bgw31 and bgw33. May as well keep hold of.

          I think I will keep my TC until GW36 for a viable DGW (different than GW32 and GW35), if not use it with Salah against HUD@GW36. Only risk could be Liverpool wrapping the title by then and play with less care. Or would that work the other way around: More relaxed, more attacking football with many of goals. What do you think? Would that be too late to use TC?

            Yes. Change in formation since the Donk broke into the team means he is playing much further forward. He’s bossing our set pieces at the moment and is such an intellligent player. If Neves injury causes his to miss a game that could change things but Nuno doesn’t think it’s serious.

            I’ve got Jota in my team as he carries a real goal threat and I can afford him, but João is a good bit cheaper and is in great form. Our fixtures are good too (on paper!)

              With Aguero potentially out for the DGW, hopefully that will ensure that Sterling starts both games maybe even as a false 9 for one...wishful thinking 😉
