Thanks for the comments all.
Resonare, my favourite was the Eriksen to Alli observation, staring me in the face but hidden in plain view.
Ruth, as thorough and comprehensive as always. Much appreciated.
Schmiro, thanks. I have had Alonso for a while and so, for me, I lose not gain by switching him for Azpi. Whether or not I have both, I am still undecided. I am going to lose Willian though. I expect he’ll do really well if I do, but Ruth’s observation about Pedro sways me. (Oh, Schmiro, by the way, if he’s not going to be on the pitch you should use the cash tied up in Barnes. That’s what I was driving at with my questions)
After a long day out I need to play around again with the fine tuning and see what I’m left with (apart from a longing to play 4 Man U players - Valencia or Pogba? Pogba or Valencia? What an unfair choice that is!)
Clean sheet odds: I’ve seen Ruth’s source for Leicester’s 0.75 chance. From the same source Man U are at 1.02. Clearly they’re not pure odds, but it was Ruth’s explanation that was awry not the numbers. I interpret it as a 51% chance of Man U clean sheet over the two games, 37.5% for the Foxes. It’s a source that is typically used to single game weeks and it is not clear for the Double.
As for his emoji use...
