ROB MAYES’ GAMEWEEK 6 TEAM REVEAL

I was always planning to get Erling Haaland (£14.3m) in this week, but with Florian Wirtz’s (£8.2m) benching, Robert Sánchez (£5.0m) feeling risky, and maybe a little bit of a rage-move thrown in… I’ve decided to pull the trigger on the Wildcard.

      He looks more like a player you want against poor teams, not the lowest xG conceded in the league
      Would also worry a bit about rotation against West Ham if he played say 90 vs. Newcastle and Olympiacos
