        Because he's not nailed, perhaps?

        I'm quite happy waiting a few weeks and getting if he becomes nailed. Shouldn't fall behind at all really I don't think with the low ownership

      I like it. I'm 100% that you would need Salah, and Norwich could hurt at the start.

      How about Kane-King and Fraser-Salah for the first week or 2? Then Auba to Kane GW3 if he bangs?
