        Ideally all three because they have excellent fixtures. Though if I had to choose two I would go with Wirtz and Gordon as their minutes are more secure

    Is dorgu safe to play till gw 21? It could be round of 16 for cameroon and ivory coast on january 3rd, loss and mbeumo and amad could be back on time for gw21 on january 7th. Does someone has more insight on the afcon risks for this schedule for dorgu?

      Palmer a bit pricey for what he offers but I brought in Wirtz this week which people said the same about...so if you think he'll get going, go for it.

      Semenyo out for the likes of Wirtz or Gordon may have better upside, but that Arsenal D move is a transfer waiting to happen, so I'd prioritize that one despite not being the best GW entry
