Re: International call ups?

Pretending that Roberts is fit, here's a team:
Dubravka
Sonne, Tuanzebe, Ekdal, Roberts,
Hannibal, Cullen, Ugochukwu, Brun-Larsen,
Broja, Foster

What would be its chances in the PL?

I am with Octopus (for business electricity only) and we are with them for gas and electricity at home.
We submit meter readings monthly (not smart meters, ours are reliable), not a problem whatsoever. They take their money by DD agreement.
