Tricky call with vc James on 16 which is usually enough but with the goat Salah to follow I'm not so sure. Might flip a coin
I would prefer to bank the points from James as the safe play. If he had scored between 10-13 points then I would revert to Salah. Given his form and ownership, I suspect a lot of coaches will not be giving much consideration to other alternatives which can be exploited if he blanks against West Ham. Needs to score around 22-24 to make you rue the decision to bank James.

6/59
Played: R Jimenez, A Fernandez, J Cancelo, K De Bruyne, B Fernandes and K Havertz
Yet to play: S Reguilon (new recruit), H Kane (new recruit), M Salah (C), T Alexander-Walker and Raphinha

Decided to play Jimenez over Saka which will likely prove to be unwise and the decision not to eat the donut last week and grab James has come back to bite again with Fernandez conceding 5 goals against Burnley and Norwich over the past two rounds to the tune of 53 points. Thankfully Havertz finally scored, De Bruyne returned double figures and Cancelo continued his fine season so far. Tempted to captain debutant Kane over Salah but not game enough to attempt it.
