Accepted Answer

Dominic Calvert-Lewin carries 13.3% ownership against 8.1% for Danny Welbeck. Holding Calvert-Lewin keeps you aligned with the majority - if they blank, you do not lose rank to most of your rivals. But that same ownership cuts both ways: a Danny Welbeck return while you hold Calvert-Lewin costs rank against the 8.1% who made the switch. Your rank ambition and mini-league position should shape how you weight this.
