      it’s sickening as a Haaland and non-Salah owner but I guess what did we expect - he always gets the full game and Liverpool win a lot of pens

        When are you thinking of doing FH? I have Håland so GW6 doesn't make sense I feel. My current favourite is GW15...any good thoughts of when you are thinking of playing it and why?

          Dont own Haaland or Palmer, so gw6 looks good for my team..then again might just bring in Haaland using FTs and save FH for later.

            Yeah 7 or 13 look decent but I am thinking 15 you have MCI, LIV, NEW against promoted sides plus BRI home to Wolves...a lot can happen between now and then of course but thanks for replies...interesting to hear what others are considering.

          Not a fan of FH in 15.
          15 and 19 are reverse GWs, meaning you need the same players in both, better bring them in with regular transfers.
