    Hi, what do you think is the best move? A) Eriksen to Mitoma (bench Andreas?)
    B) Martinelli to Mitoma/Rodrigo (bench Andreas/Eriksen?)
    C) Save FT

    Ederson
    Trippier Botman White
    KDB Rashford Martinelli Andreas Haaland Kane Mitro

      Probably C, Andreas could get on well Vs a shaky Spurs and Eriksen has double to come

        True, but I think I'd want Bruno for the next double so would be losing him anyway....? Agree on Andreas

          Then with 0ITB you've either gotta lose KDB or take a hit unless you roll this week.
