    How has Vardy looked lately? Does he look ready to hit some form?
    is last 6 or 7 gameweek scores have been dreadful but that run of games coming is tempting.

    Not sure whether to get in for DCL.

    Are you guys still considering bringing in him, or is Calwert-Lewin just a much better option for the same price?

                        Possibly. I meant getting on the end of the assists rather than creating. Although he does win pens.

                        Not 100% convinced by Fernandes or United personally. Probably veering towards Barnes now. Bruno ain’t going to be playing further forward. Ighalo or Greenwood will come in and I don’t think they’re nearly as clinical as Tony.
