      I don't like Deulofeu or Higuain.

      If you did Higuain to Rashford, what could Deulofeu and Dunk become?

                Instead of Deulofeu, funded by the Higuain to Rashford downgrade (which is actually an upgrade 🙂

                  It works, with 0.1 to spare.
                  Triple UTD attack seems a touch much though.

                    The way I see it, they have two great fixtures, they need to win to get top four, Lukaku/Sanchez both out, so Rashford, Martial and Lingard are all pretty nailed - if fit - only Mata really a threat to any of them.

                    Deulofeu, the best we can hope for is that he plays 90 minutes away to United, and in that case, why not look at a SGWer with a better fixture, JWP for example.

          So no reason then.

          I thought maybe as Luiz didn't play for Brazil last weekend he might be more of a rotation risk because he's no longer deemed international quality. 🙂

    -What does Pep want more than anything?...Champions league.
    -He will go full strength vs Spurs Tuesday 9th April - Bilva Kun Sterling
    -Fa cup v Brighton 3 days before saturday 6th - Mahrez Jesus Sane
    -Man city home to Cardiff (the best fixture) wed 3rd April - Bilva Kun Sterling
    -i'm not sure who will start v Fulham on saturday though, they have 4 days after so plenty of rest, but I have a feeling Pep prefers the energy of his team when Bilva is playing

    this is why im going for Bilva as my 3rd City option

          I've not seen Rudiger in one single team on here, everyone is dismissing Son as an option and Zaha is being ignored for Batshuayi.

          So no, it's not like every other team as much as you're implying.

                  Anyone else keep getting signed out on their phone (S9). If I close tab and come back using shortcut, signs out or even if I swap tabs briefly and come back, it'll be signed out. Been happening for months now. On iPad there's no problem at all.

                  What services to English football has Kane provided? In his biggest moment in an England shirt he ignored a teammate and went for self glory, denying England a chance to play in the World Cup Final.

                  If there's any English footballer worthy of an MBE then it should be Sterling - a young individual who has overcome so many things simply because of his skin colour. An inspiration to many young kids aspiring to become footballers and to many elder people suffering from similar treatment in their workplaces.

                  Not Harry bloody Kane.

                    I am not sure how to handle the DGW and then den BGW.

                    WC in GW34
                    BB in GW35

                    TC in???
