The ScoutCast – Episode 184 – Foresight

Foresight – that precious gift that that can bless any Fantasy Football manager. We need it now more than ever.

As Jonty, Andy and myself struggle with the countless permutations offered up by the looming double Gameweeks, we can only hope that our mutterings and musings come laced with just a little dash of foresight.

Steered by an array of community questions targeting the possibilities of the fixture pile-up to come, the three of us discuss the best-laid plans in attempt to jolt our squads out of the current rut.

Around the early double Gameweek discussion, we chew over the optimum blank-dodging strategies as Sigurdsson, Spurs and Stoke top the menu of options. Then, inevitably, we turn attentions to the immediate job at hand, as we preview the weekend and pinpoint potential clean sheets and “Fantasy Island Risks”.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live via our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to gatecrash future editions.

    Kasper/Hennessey
    Bellerin Daniels Kola Targett Moreno*
    Payet Firmino* Alli Ozil Westy
    Kun Kane Vardy

    3.0 ITB 2FT

    Need some opinions on Transfers:

    1) Moreno > Wollshied OR any other better option
    2) Firmino > Mahrez
    3) Westy(dead wood) > Mahrez and keep Firmino for future flexibility
    4) do only (1) , play Westy & save 1 FT

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Do 1 AND 3

    2. kenzo.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1 and 2

  2. AppleDunk
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Targett nailed? If so, I would just do 3.

  3. Pochecinno

    Morning All.

    I would have thought this place picked up some pace the day before Matchday

    I have just decided to start betting - I made a Ladbrokes account and it said I had 5 free spins on a wheel. I done all 5 and now I'm down to around £2.00 from £10.00. 🙁

    1. Pochecinno

      Delete the account - gambling is a very bad habit. Don't get started

      1. Pochecinno

        Disclaimer - When I said 'bad' I mean if you get addicted (and it's easy to fall into). I'm not suggesting gamblers are bad people.

          If you're going to gamble at least use it wisely. Betting on sports, by reading reviews. Don't waste it on spinning wheels and slot machines. It's all a big scam.

        I'm just going to use what I have left and not put any more on.

        1. Pochecinno
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          And delete the account 🙂

          You may be tempted again

            Good advice

      3. FFPro
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This is good advice.

    2. Siva Mohan

      educated betting is ok.. spinning wheels is a big no no..

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I've just realised. Ain't happening again.

      Definitely don't gamble on something like roulette or other casino games which are mathematically losing, regardless of strategy. Read the small print with special offers too... I imagine it was 5 spins for free if and when bla bla bla.

      Sports betting - you have a tiny chance of longterm profit if you can beat the odds but also severely stacked against you because you need to be highly accurate and beat the edge that bookies incorporate into their odds.

      Poker can be profitable if you study theory and play against weaker opposition. Again, the vast majority lose. Even when I was a winning poker player at low stakes I made about 3-4% average return on investment while the betting company made around 10% simply for providing the service. They are loving it.

      Stop right now is my advice. It may be exciting but a very slippery road.i say this from friends I know who have lost lots of money but thankfully stopped in time. Don't get carried away by all the betting talk on here. FPL points are nothing compared to money in terms of addiction

    Just seen Liverpool have two games cancelled in four gameweeks.

    Which FT should I do?

    a) Moreno to Huth? Gives me 4-4-2 for this week
    b) Firmino to Pedro? Gives me 3-5-2 for this week

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro to be honest.

      1. jfxm
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Tough one

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A .. 27 & 30 blank .. plays City & then Palace away

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Huth has good fixtures too

        1. jfxm
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          True. Just worried about one of my mids or strikers not playing and having no backup.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pedro? Surely you've got a better option than that.

  6. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Help!!

    Butland
    Fonte | Azpi | Toby | Moreno**
    Alli | Mahrez | Ozil | Payet
    Kane | Vardy
    Hennessey | Westwood | Aguero** | Simpson*

    1 FT & 4.2 ITB

    A. Moreno >> Daniels/Williams/SomeDefenderWhoPlaysGW27-30
    B. play Westwood and save FT (2 points guaranteed)

    Please suggest, thanks.

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone else own neither Vardy nor Payet? A bit scary this week!

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      own both 😎

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's not what I asked! *sobs*

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I know.. encouraging you to take hit to bring in at least one of them..

          1. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            It isn't about taking a hit. I don't want to sell any strikers... And after this week Payet has bad fix and a blank so don't fancy him.

            Just need to get through this week!

            1. Siva Mohan
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              get Vardy.. good fixtures in next 4.. got well deserved rest as well

              1. Scoredelario
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years

                I'm keeping ighalo home to Bournemouth. I will reassess after that.

                  8 years, 2 months ago

                  I'm keeping Iggy over Vardy this week, but makes me nervous too. I've got Payet though.

    Alli suspended for the first leg of the next round in the UEFA Europa League

    GW29 [Saturday] - Spurs vs Arsenal
    Europa League [Thursday]
    GW30 [Sunday] - Villa vs Spurs

    no travel or game time .. fresh legs .. Eriksen owners beware!

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Perfect. The Villa game will be wonderful, as he also seems to enjoy Playlng away from home.

  10. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If an English team win europa and qualify for champs league, do 4th place miss out?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      no.. 5 spots for EPL

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Wow

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          But wait... Surely not 5 spots if they're already top 4?

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Spurs win and stay in top 4 .. then no 5th spot

      2. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        If Chelsea win the Champions League and don't make the top 4 - will there be 6?

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          no.. 5 max

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Who loses out in that scenario? 4th place?

            Lets say top 4 is as it is right now and Chelsea win UCL and Liverpool/ManU win Europa

            1. Siva Mohan
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              top 3 + CHE + LIV/MANUTD go to UEFA CL

        2. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          if so .. 4th placed team may have to sacrifice

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I see

          2. Scoredelario
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I seem to remember Everton came 4th when Liverpool won the champs league. They initially lost their place but in the end were given a route in via qualifying (which they lost)

            But anyway, after that they changed the rules to say 4th misses out on such a scenario

            1. Siva Mohan
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Spurs lost a spot in 2012-13

        3. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Might as well call it the midtable league 😀

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            UEFA promotes it's tournaments over local leagues 😉

  11. Recoba
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Was set to get Vardy this week, DDG injury not making it easy

    DDG (McCarthy)
    Alde Cress Huth (Daniels Bellerin)
    Sanchez Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli
    Igahlo Kane (Aguero)

    2 FT 0.6 ITB

    What to do?
    A) Iggy > Vardy + keep DDG
    B) Iggy > Vardy -4
    C) No Vardy

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      2 FTs? get Vardy & Forster

      1. Recoba
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Could only afford if I sold Aguero or Kane, neither of which I think are worth it

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          how would you do A/B with out enough cash in bank..

          1. Recoba
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

    Bookmark this .. Ashley Westwood to score and assist this week.

    1. TotalJustice
      • 9 Years

      1 pointer incoming then 😛

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        2 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 13 🙂

        1. TotalJustice
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          and i am thinking of doing Westy > Mahrez

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            good luck! hope you have a big enough sofa to hide 😉

        2. TotalJustice
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          you missed 1 point of clean sheet 😛
          Give it to Westy!

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            don't want to disappoint Arnie owners 😀

  13. TotalJustice
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    good defender to replace Moreno.. in same price range upto 4.8 or max 5.0

    1. Vedas
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Fuchs

      1. TotalJustice
        • 9 Years

        I have leicester slots already filled... thats y so much headache...

    2. Fumi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wolly could be worth a go if you're feeling a little cheaper

  14. Bad Butcher
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Good Morning Masters! 🙂

    Firmino ----> Siggi/Alli/Eriksen or Arnautovic and why?!

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alli .. best young player of the year.. period.

    2. kenzo.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy if you are planning FT's for 34 else i would go for Eriksen

      1. Bad Butcher
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        My god! 😀 I dont know now what I must doing... Alli Eriksen or Siggi 🙁

  15. Pochecinno
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If you look over last 4GWs it seems fairly easy too see who is better to captain over Vardy and Mahrez

    1. FFPro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Forster!

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I realise I worded that badly. I meant 'between' 😳

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Over the last 4 - Yep Vardy. Go a bit further back and it is Mahrez though. I think Vardy performs better when they are counterattacking as they were vs city, liverpool and arsenal.

          With easier fixtures, it may be Mahrez who benefits from a team that is not pressing high and needs to be broken down.

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            This is a very good point and I will consider it. My other concern is Ranieri taking Mahrez off so often now

  16. Pochecinno
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Arnie to Alli a 'luxury' transfer?

    (I have Eriksen and Kane)

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      too dependent on Spurs attack? a 0-0 and you will burn..

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Well I've already got the other two anyway - It's a straight head-to-head between Arnie and Alli is the way I look at it.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Arnie or some other mid.. no better options available?

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Siggy has Spurs and Arsenal next which is why I'm waiting on him. Alli is the only mid who is really tempting me otherwise

    2. lahi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aren't more people trying to get Arnie in?
      But I already have Alli and Kane and thinking of getting Eriksen, but for Firmino.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's all blank hype. Stoke and Arnie haven't looked good at all. I wouldn't be getting him in if I didn't already have him

        1. lahi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          But that's the point. Don't you already have him? Also, Dembele absence is there as well which could have an effect on Alli.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say so, but if the rest of your team is good then it is ok. what is the rest of your team?

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Butland
        Bellerin Azpi Williams
        Arnie Eriksen Mahrez Payet Ozil
        Kane Vardy

        Hennessey Aguero Moreno Simpson

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          save for this week imo. You FT will be very handy to shift Moreno, Payet before the blanks. In your shoes, I would be looking at bringing in Toby / Siggy / Silva for Moreno / Ozil / Payet before GW30

        I read it wrong.. I would not do it. Arnie has some good fixtures coming, and they played well the last game, even if Arnie was out. I would definitely keep him. Plus you have enough spurs with Eriksen and Kane, I would be looking at bringing a spurs def instead before GW30

    4. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I'd definitely keep Arnautovic. I'm bringing him in this week.

      Definitely a luxury transfer, and wouldn't want 3 attackers from the same team regardless

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah - the triple up is a bit of a concern but all three continue to maintain their form and stats

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, but Eriksen SHOULD at least match Alli. So i think you're fine there.

          Arnie still a a great option over the next two IMO

          1. Pochecinno
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Yep - Eriksen has outscored Alli by 8 since I got him in so I'm not too worried about that.

    5. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      There are some rumours that Arnie might be unsettled. This has stopped me bringing him in, but I don't think I would sell. Is there anyone else (maybe with a blank 30) you could sell for Alli?

      1. Pochecinno
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'm very happy with my other mids

      2. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Any link to the Arnie unsettled talks?

          That is a 10+ page forum discussion with nothing substantiated but plenty of opinion on both sides! The thread title is quite amusing 😀

      I've had Arnie for a while now and he's done the square root of you know what for me but I'm holding for the fixtures.

    7. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers all.

      I suppose Stoke's next two fixtures are too good to ignore and as Freemlan says - they played well last game. Will probably keep

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Stoke attack are poor. Regardless of their opponents

        Just get Siggy and bench him

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Get Siggy for GW29, no point doing it before imo

  17. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any DDG owners aroud? Are you keeping or selling? I'm leaning towards swapping for Butland. Hate using a FT on a keeper though.

    1. FFPro
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Considering doing it for a hit... and i have Henn as backup

      1. lahi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Planning on the same move. Good GW to take a hit for Butland.

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Looks good for CS in the next 2 at least

  18. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Alli or eriksen
    seriously...?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Alli

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      eriksen

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Similar potential, but the fact Alli will be resting for the next europa match (due to suspension) could edge it in his favour

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I forgot about this. It is a good point. I still feel that Eriksen is in better form at the moment

      2. FFPro
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He's on 8 YC in the league... doesn't that mean he could be resting for another 2 games?

    I've got 2FT so need to use 1. I want to keep money for Vardy after this weekend though. 2.5 itb so need to keep 1.7 for him. Upgrade on OShea or Dawson? Or something else?

    Forster (Hennessy)
    Toby Huth Dawson (Kosc OShea)
    Mahrez Alli Payet Sanchez Arnie
    Kane Iggy (Aguero)

    1. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez ➡ Ozil

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ye I did it the other way around to get Sanchez in. He's on the goals imminent table but it would free up through cash for Vardy again and leave me with more wiggle room

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You have a good team. Do you have enough to do Oshea --> VVD?

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You also need to keep the money to do Iggy --> Vardy next week imo

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Actually, if you can do both Oshea/Dawson + Iggy --> VVD + Vardy, that would be perfect

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wollscheid

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This one interests me. Can do OSHEA to him for next to nothing.

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wollscheid a good option

      Btw - you playing Forster or Hennessy this GW, and why?

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Forster. Form.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks - undecided myself. Think both will concede, but slightly be for tter odds Palace clean sheet. But Forster will probably get more saves.

    5. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all. Decisions made i think

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I win?

  20. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Do we know when Vert is likely to be back?

    Considering Wimmer this week as not convinced Aldy is worth the 1.7m premium, especially since I'll likely bench him next week.

    Current plan is to WC in GW33 and will also bench my Spurs defender in GW32 (liv), so really only need Vert not to return before 19 March. Chances?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      End of March

  21. foreverton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Chance of Gabriel playing?

  22. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Food for thought. Vardy's three double figure returns this season:

    Southampton (A)
    Arsenal (H)
    Liverpool (H)

    Mahrez's double figure returns:

    Sunderland (H)
    West Ham (A)
    Spurs (H)
    Aston Villa (H)
    Stoke (A)
    West Brom (A)
    Swansea (A)
    Che (H)
    Eve(A)
    Man City (A)

    Erm...

    WHAT?!

    I was going to say something about fixture difficulty or counter attacking and then I started typing Mahrez's double figure returns and got dizzy.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's off pens now though. How many of them double figures was the result of him taking pens

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I don't know but one of them was 21 points so can we count it twice? 😀

        He missed 2 pens too

    2. Fumi
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      But Vardy's looked better over the last few weeks, his stats seem more sustainable and he's now on pens. I see your point though.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      wow, that's impressive...

    4. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy is consistent, not explosive. We should have both for fixs.

  23. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez / vardy / payet for the armband ???????

    1. foreverton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Payet

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      On Vardy

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez for me

  24. foreverton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lloris (Hennessey)

    Cresswell van Dijk Gabriel Coleman(BLANK) Simpson(SUSP)

    Ozil Payet Mahrez Alli Barkley(BLANK)

    Lukaku(BLANK) Aguero(BLANK) Kane

    Simpson > Huth
    Aguero > Vardy

    (-4) Thoughts? WCing after GW29.

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      You couldn't resist tripling up on Everton.. 😀 I think that playing your WC on GW29 is way to early. I'd prefer to take a couple hits to fix your team. But keep in mind GW30 Blanks. I would swap Lukaku instead of Kun, as he will have another blank on GW30

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Silly moves

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Coleman / Lukaku --> Toby / Vardy for me

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Not Toby. Can't keep a cleanie

  25. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal will have canceled game on gw29 or gw30 or not ?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody knows

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      we don't know yet

  26. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So.

    It looks like that all those players who made early transfer have been rewarded by beating price drops.
    No injures to speak of (for the popular players that is)

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane doubtful.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That ruins a lot of teams. But if like me.. You had spent some time planning for GW30. You're gunna have a near full strength team for GW 27. I have a benching heading this week.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I am good for GW30, except for Cech and Ozil.
          Yet I still have a Spurs-trio.. Kane doubtful might cost me this GW. Targett and Gosling on bench.

        2. Bow Locks
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I almost hope Kane takes no part this weekend. Just because I have cover.
