    I've asked this before but get mixed responses (I get why) so just want to give it one more go ...bench one?
    A) Salah
    B) Mahrez
    C) Rashford
    D) Odegard
    E) Mitoma

    Currently on Mitoma as lowest ownership but could easily play him over a couple of the others. Help!

        He's quite highly owned, especially in my mini leagues, too scared to bench him I think! Could have a massive upside but could also ruin my week!

    Not sure Mahrez starts but can I bench him after Thursday?
    Play Almiron over any of the others?

    Ward

    Haaland Kane Mitro

      You banking on Mahrez starting then? I'm concerned he won't and I'll have Mitoma on the bench with a goal and Mahrez will come on for a 1 point cameo.

          I'm in same boat. Mitoma first sub though. I think I'm playing my highest owned players for protection..that means Mahrez gets in and Mitoma first sub. Can't decide so seems most logical way. I'm sure it'll be wrong! Good luck!
