    So...

    If I roll my FT this week on a bench boost.

    FH next week.

    Will I have 2FT for GWK 38?

    If not then what do you think of either

    A - Robertson to Tavares
    B - Robertson to Holgate
    C - Mount to Gordon

    Would allow for Foden/Mount to Son for Norwich at home in the last gameweek.
