    Kepa, Raya
    Gabriel, Trippier, Chilwell, Botman, Estupinan
    March, Mac Allister, Saka, Odegaard, Rashford (c)
    Toney, Kane, Watkins

    Plan on BB with this.

    1 FT 5.9 ITB

    A) Gabriel and Odegaard to Shaw and Bruno -4
    B) Gabriel, Odegaard, Saka and Kane to Shaw, Bruno, Salah and Solanke -12 (allows Toney to Haaland next GW) This gives me 15 players on BB

      I'd normally agree but especially if Haaland is out I can see this being a bit more cautious than the typical City v Liverpool game. Also the early KO which is still traditionally low-scoring

      It's only -4. Youve taken the -8 so unless you are making 2 transfer to afford the downgrade then it's a single hit.

      But no, probably still not worth it unless you get a leak that Haaland isn't in the squad
