    Is there any apparent reason why i'm oftenly seeing today Mahrez > somebody? isnt he nailed as he gets for the next game?

      He is. But he’s been crap recently, has offered nothing from what I’ve heard? Unless I’m mistaken.

      And I’m tempted to do him to DSilva even for a hit for his last game

        Yeah, but Norwich are still a lot crappier than him, so im considering him versus Antonio who plays probably tough closed Villa team

          You are in a tough spot as your midfield is similar and to upgrade your fwds need hits.

          KDB to Salah. Doherty to Robbo.

        Wolves need a result to guarantee European football

        If Arsenal win the FA Cup they could miss out

      He’s on a break but there’s no way he won’t feature on Sunday. Rumour is that all the city players were given a few days off
