          In that case, Donnarumma or Raya look like decent options mid to long-term.

        Either way you need Haaland he’s a machine.

        Trust your gut you’re good at this & advice given over years has helped me improve.

        Wk 6 approaching & we now know who’s sh1te & who’s decent, if confident go B

        I’m running with both Salah & Haaland & doing better than expected, trusting my judgement & not afraid to take a hit to change team (just limiting to -4)

        Thoughts on FODEN instead of NDIAYE. Foden in form again & could very well outscore Ndiaye over the next 4 GWs. What do you think of this midfield with him in it: SEMENYO, BRUNO, CAICEDO, FODEN & REIJNDERS.

        Will Foden rise in price tonight ?
