    Grealish worth a punt?
    Randomly considering Foden + Bruno = Dilva + Grealish
    Huge game, potentially his last game for the club etc.
    Then again he hasn't scored in forever so probably looking too hard for differentials!

      Interesting option.

      On a similar note, it's amazing that Trezeguet was started by 0 top 10k managers in GW37 even after his 16-pointer against Palace.

      Would also consider Keita (0.3%) if not maxed out on Liverpool. I already have TAA/Robbo/Mane so I can't do Keita. Hopefully you'll get a leaked lineup so you can at least know if he starts.

    Really going for it here with my FH, Currently 11k int the world....pushing for 10k and chasing 34 point in ML...going for it, thoughts on either of these FH teams:

    A)
    Martinez
    Laporte, Bardsley, Long
    Salah, (S)terling, D.Silva, Richarlison,
    Kane, Aubameyang, Greenwood

    Button, Ceballos, Williams, 3.9

    0.2 ITB

    B)

    Martinez
    Robertson, Long, Aurier
    Salah, (S)terling, D.Silva, Richarlison,
    Kane, Aubameyang, Greenwood

    Button, Williams, 4.1 M, 3.9 D

    Currently leaning towards B. Thoughts?

        Palace fan Walsh on the FML FPL pod actually suggested he might punt on triple Spurs defence. Would certainly be a differential! But Burnley is certainly not a bad choice.

          Saiss is the most guaranteed to start defender

      Doherty and Saiss should start. TAA is likely but wouldn't say certain. I guess it depends on how hard they party after the ceremony last night.

        Yes. I thought Saiss was just rested, so should come back in hopefully
