        cheers mate.

        Not so keen on grealish as already have Watkins.

        Everyone in mini league has grealish so I want to try something different!

        Shocker of a season!!

        Yip. No mention of his fitness in today's presser (the broadcast section, anyway), only Potter praising him. As Flynny says above, *seems* to be just cramp:

        I presume you’re a Leeds fan. Is there any chance Bamford gets rotated?
        For me, Bamford will get chances in any game, regardless of opposition because Leeds play only one way.
        Wilson may get chances limited in certain games as Newcastle tend to play defensive in some games.
        Just talking to myself here, not sure if anyone agrees?

      Bamford is in a great situation in that he has El Loco's trust and confidence - the entire squad is not only built to attack but built around feeding him chances.

      That said Wilson is also a very viable choice, but that .5 could be used elsewhere.

          Yeah, think it will only improve now th fixtures are turning, and Bellerin is actually more involved that stats tell you when you watch the game - could've easily got a second assist in Man Utd game for example. He's playing very advanced

          I still think he’ll come good. His stats look similar to the very popular Ziyech. But I’m not holding on to find out. Working towards a KDB route. I may have to live with Mahrez for a couple of weeks.
