    Any last minute rumours to be wary of, or is (K)DB still sensible rather than Salah?

      Pep said he was pulled in UCL due to tactics rather than injury, so that's good enough for me. Still not sure which I'll C between the two but am leaning toward KDB

          (Owning Salah might be a slight differential, based on some twitter FPL accounts as of late).
