        I disagree.

        A lot of people will have benching headaches next week.

        And BBing the week after WC means less chance of injuries, form changes, etc.

    Did you pair Martinelli or Odegaard with Saka until 29?
    Still torn between these two.
    Martinelli must be good for a couple of weeks but need some minutes nailedness on the 26 WC.

      I’ve gone Odegard l, as he’s more nailed for gameweek 28 when I’m already short on numbers. I’m not sure whether nketiah and Jesus might be back by GW28 which will result in trossard eating into his minutes.
