    Looking for a potential 5th mid or 3rd forward for 6.8m or less. Who is the best option in this price range? Already have Greenwood.

        Cheers mate!

        I thought I would be a little different with my username and go for a pun on the name of a league (where the play is frequently shocking) rather than a player or team.

        I am very interested in Wolves against Chelsea. If we get a leaked lineup, I might just go for whoever looks the most likely to get attacking returns (aside from Jimenez who I can't afford) in their lineup.

    ML lead = 31. My TC vs. rival's FH. Already have: Greenwood, Jim, KDB, Salah, Saiss

    1) Vardy, Bruno > Kane, Dilva (TC Kane)

    2) Vardy, Bruno > Wood, Sterling (TC Raz)

    3) Vardy, Doherty > Kane, Pieters (TC Kane)

    4) City x3: Vardy, Pulisic, Bruno > Wood, Dilva, Sterling (-4 - TC Raz)

    Honestly, thinking #4 so I don't feel the need to get a larger couch.
