    Would this be a nightmare of an attack?

    Hazard Ozil KDB Mahrez (Coutinho)

    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Defense is:

    Elliott Hennessey

    Souare Kolarov Bertrand Moreno Simpson

    Barkley --> Coutinho would be my 1FT and I have the exact money ITB to make the transfer. Or do I use the 1.5 ITB to upgrade keeper/defense? Thoughts?

      That keeper combination is Rubbish!

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd upgrade keeper/defence instead.

    de bruyne played the full 90 minutes against Hull and scored two goals...
    I am not sure whether to be happy or sad

      Happy of course.

              Looks like I might finally get an appearance from my first round pick too 😎

              1. President John F. Keninnsie
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                He'll get injured within half an hour anyway. Anyone who picks someone as injury prone as Sturridge in the first round is not a threat in my books. 😉

                8 years, 11 months ago

                Sturridge is a pain to own. Barely got me anything last season as my 1st round pick. Might've made the same mistake this season with another player 🙄

    SECOND TIME POSTING.
    prob the hardest decision I will have to make in a while.
    mahrez mane kdb ozil deolefeu
    kane vardy Kaku

    who do I bench.. soooo hard after deolefeu performance last night

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Very difficult choice... It's probably crazy but I'd be tempted to bench Kane.

      1. tyron
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        lol funny Cuz kane is actually my current captain haha

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I would Bench Mahrez, easy decision.

      1. tyron
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        hmmm I was gona be even crazier and bench vardy or just stickwith benching deulefeo
        I don't expect that palace will Concede alot

        1. Emp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I respectfuly and strongly disagree with the both previous opionions that have been given. Delofeu is clearly the correct bench decision both ownership wise and stats/threat wise

    3. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years

      draw straws on Mahrez Mane Del Boy

    Morning gents - thoughts on this lot ?

    Butland - (McCarthy)
    Kolarov - Moreno - Wolscheid - (Richards - Targett)
    KDB - Ozil - Sanchez - Mahrez - (Wanyama)
    Vardy - Lukaku - Kane

    A) Sanchez > Barkley
    B) Sanchez > Coutinho
    C) Sanchez + Targett > Barkley + Zouma (-4)
    D Sanchez + Targett > Coutinho + Zouma (-4)

    1. sleecc
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B, and I did B. Don't think the defender worth the hits.

                    Ok, now I understand why. Since only we (Singaporean and Malaysian) understand the reason behind. I thought that refers to something else other than what I understand.

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Just B...if planning D get Rose instead of Zouma

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I like D as Zouma has great fixtures, is a big goal threat and would stop you from having to play a Stoke defender against City.

    4. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

      Why are you ALL picking cout over Barkley considering the stats, price, fixtures and the fact cout just got back from injury ?
      Pease enlighten me

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Playing Newcastle, great form and already has Lukaku

      2. sleecc
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Last 4 games:
        Coutinho - G:4, GA:12, SiB:7, SoB:5, SoT:6, Min/GA:20.67
        Barkley -- G:3, GA: 9, SiB:3, SoB:6, SoT:5, Min/GA:33.33
        Mane ----- G:0, GA: 9, SiB:7, SoB:2, SoT:5, Min/GA:32.11
        Mahrez --- G:2, GA: 9, SiB:7, SoB:2, SoT:4, Min/GA:39.22

        Barkley's shot mainly from long range.

          Gonna go with cout and Barkley gonna kill it this week end again. It's always like that hahaha

  7. Pochecinno

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Morning guys.

    How did Silva look last night? I'm thinking of getting him in over Coutinho/Barkley/KDB etc as my Mata replacement.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Pretty busy and central. Got MotM although KDB deserved it.

      1. Pochecinno
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers TM. No concerns of him looking rusty after so long out then? Class is permanent and all that...?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Well down my list at the moment compared to the others mentioned. He makes his teammates better just being on the field.

          1. Pochecinno
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Granted he lifts the team as a whole and is not a direct/individual player like Sanchez but does it really effect his FPL ability negatively? Apart from last weekends cameo he has only blanked once this season and his FPL history seems to be very good.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Averages near 6 so he's a great choice when City are firing.

  8. DaveVak
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Call me mad, but I've kept Sanchez so far, and may continue until there are more concrete news. If he misses only 1 or 2 GWs, he may be worth keeping.
    Not really convinced with the 3 options I have on hand.
    1. Barkley - The members article here show that he's actually just extremely clinical, and even has less touches etc. To me, it sounds like he just got lucky.
    2. Hazard - Horrid numbers in last GW for someone world class being up top. Not convinced he's really improving, unless maybe, if I watch the full 90 minutes against spurs.
    3. Coutinho - Never was convinced by him, and found him to be quite erratic, and relying on long shots (does not create that much). He is just recovering from injury, so to me feels like a punt anyways.

    Are there any other real midfield candidates around (have KdB and Ozil)?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Agree about Barkley. Coutinho looks to have improved under Klopp, although the sample size is admittedly still small. Hazard is a punt, and an expensive one at that. All of the possible replacements have their flaws but I think keeping Sanchez is a pretty silly move as his value will continue to drop and you're missing out on the huge upside of having another potential heavy-hitting midfielder in his place.

      1. DaveVak
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Well, this GW I lost 0.1 on him, and need another drop to lose more, but doubt it will happen tonight.
        With Barkley for me out of the question (one with most potential to rise, I'm actually considering Deulofeu), and out of these 3 only Hazard a real option, I think I have one more night to sit on it. Let's hope for more concrete news.

    2. Up the tics
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm in this same predicament but I need to replace mata, with 9.6m to spend

      So far im considering ayew then upgrade another mid next week
      Eriksen not consistent
      Coutinho haven't seen enough of him
      Silva just out of my price range

  9. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who would you bring in?

    A) KDB
    B) Hazard
    C) Eriksen
    D) Silva
    E) Other

    Cheers 🙂

    Already own Sterling, Ozil and Coutinho if that helps.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie

    Looks like GW27 will contain 8 games or 4 blanks.

    Games in danger due to C1C Final

    LIV vs Eve
    NEW vs Mcy
    SOT vs Che
    STO vs Avl

    Plenty might struggle to play 11 that GW.

    hazard or mane this week

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      both?

      Mane looks more likely to score of the 2

  12. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Any word on Kun yest?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      wait for Friday's Presser

  13. Kevtheotter
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Defence is

    Rojo Evan Bellerin Richards Huth

    If Rojo is injured her goes. If not who goes and for whom?

    A) Zouma
    B) Toby

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Evans/Huth to Moreno?

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think Spurs and Chelsea are the best way forward for defence. Not sold on Liverpool as of yet

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years

      Toby

  14. Giggsy_11

    do you think crystal palace is going to concede a lot? not sure who should i bench between these four players

    lukaku, barkley, mahrez, vardy

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez

      1. Giggsy_11
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        cheers

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe Vardy

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Prob Maherez but its a tough choice

      1. Giggsy_11
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        i'm not sure if swansea's taylor easily got beaten by any wingers. thanks anyway SAB

  15. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Underused on FFS. Not the right time to bring him but I now see Mane and Tadic have the same kind of threat but Tadic has pens and Mane is more expensive.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Does Southampton even win penalty regularly?

    2. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think Mane is definitely more of a goal threat then Tadic and is a more attractive option despite penalties

  16. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    With courtois expected to return this gw, bego > courtois makes sense?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, Lloris/De Gea?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lloris probably, will have to take a hit for ddg

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years

          But you are hit machine? 😛

            • 10 Years

            lol I know, lack of hits is depressing me

          2. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years

            Trying desperately to take a hit somewhere but nothing.....might just do kdb > sanchez

    2. Kevtheotter
      • 13 Years

      Nothing more pressing?

      1. SpaceCadet

        No will save Ft if not the gk change

    3. Pochecinno

      Wait for it to happen first

    4. Joggers Nipple

      I like it. Good move

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 15 Years

        Though if you do have a 2nd keeper wait until the change happens

      Hopefully Mourinho gives us a concrete answer about who will play this weekend. I have Begovic and McCarthy so I could end up without a keeper if Courtois plays.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yup exactly my fear

  17. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So my model is in the process of being reworked slightly to take away the heavy reliance on Shot accuracy or Shot On Target %. I've had some success, and have managed to pry Harry Kane from the top spot every week due to his superior SoT% - quite happy with the results being churned out by this modified version but would still like some time to see if I can improve anywhere else and then finalise it. Its done well when I've tried to simulate past Gameweeks though so I'm pleased thus far.

    What I'd like to hear from you lads is your opinion on my weighting system currently. There are 3 main components to the model:

    A - Concentrates on a player's Shots in Box, their GW opponent's Conceding rate of these shots, and a player's shot accuracy or SOT%.

    B - Concentrates on a player's Big Chances, their Opponent's Big Chances conceding rate and also their opponent's susceptibility to these big chances or their ability to defend them, sort of.

    C - Concentrates on Chance Creation, and is atm the least valued component.

    Weightings:
    A - 55%, B - 30%, C - 15%

    Any thoughts?

    Thinking of changing it to:

    1. A - 50%, B - 35%, C - 15%
    or
    2. A - 45%, B - 35%, C - 20%
    or
    3. A - 45%, B - 40%, C - 15%

    P.S
    Keep in mind that the previous over reliance on SOT% or Shot accuracy doesn't really have anything to do with the weighting.

          Too complicated for me, but I'd like keep the effect on chance creation as minimal as possible, I believe that's more on assists. So it'd be either 1 or 3.

    Please excuse if you answered earlier today, this is so close looking for a few more A/B's

    Was all set on Sanchez to Hazard BUT had a realization (B)-

    A. Sanchez to Hazard. (loose plan of him for 4 weeks and possibly back to Sanchez)
    B. Sanchez to Coutinio and next week Vardy to Kane

    Getting rid of Vardy?Hmmmm

    Butland/McCarthy
    Bertrand/ Kolorov/Targett/Richards/Moreno
    Sanchez/Ozil/Mahrez/ Stanislas/KDB
    Aguero/Vardy/ Lukaku

    1FT 0.1 ITB

    Any thoughts welcome

    1. sleecc
      • 9 Years

      B, both player and team in form and good fixtures. Can't ask for more, right?

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks. I do think B makes the most sense but i keep finding reasons against both choices!

        1. sleecc
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Coutinho also with the good underlying stats to support he is the better choice. If you against either of them, who would be a better pick?

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            When laid out

            Cout and Kane
            vs
            Hazard and Vardy

            the Cout move looks obvious. Its the Vardy out element. I suppose i have the safety of 'coverage' with Mahrez

            1. sleecc
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Ok, misread. I thought you were looking for 3rd choice other than Hazard and Coutinho. It is not necessary to swap Vardy out right? Just keep the fund to provide the flexibility for yourself later.

                My bad, i was unclear. I meant when i decide on option A i see the upside of B and when i settle on B i see the upside of choice A. Thanks for input

    Are there many considering to go without Aguero for the long term?

    I have most of the other big hitters up front including KDB, Ozil, Hazard..
    Bringing Aguero in will affect the balance big time..
    On the outside things are looking rosy at the moment.
    I have 8/10 of the most transferred in players this GW.

    Concerned if Aguero starts to go mad (as is likely soon) that thing will change quickly.
    Any possible options with this lot down the road?

    Schmeichel
    Toby, Moreno, Kolarov
    KDB, Ozil, Hazard (c), Mahrez
    Vardy, Kane, Lukaku

    Butland, Ward, Francis, Westwood

    2.1m in account, 0ft currently so will be sticking this week for sure.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      For me if a team wants Aguero in they have to make a choice of Lukaku OR kane. A tough one.

      Another route is Hazard to Cout/Firm and Vardy up but guess you just got Haz in.

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrading KdB is most natural way of getting Aguero in.

      1. Sasquatch Slayer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Didn't do me any good well unless Aguero scores 5 this week with no Kdb involvement.

    3. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yeah wouldnt worry about it in your shoes would juust carry on. I am considering going without him longterm simply cos everton and spurs are in such good form and challenging city in terms of goals scored and vardy is simply undroppable. Nice team but capping hazard is one step too far for me. I would go for vardy or kane personally.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yesterday I was looking at Coutinho and Barkley. Now I'm expanding my options. I think I was wrong to dismiss Hazard because of personal experience early season. Coutinho is still top for me atm, and Hazard still bottom.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          i also owned hazard early on.

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Watched most of it, here's my opinion anyway...think Hazard was alright, nothing special but better than previous weeks.

      Chelsea weren't particularly attacking though, so he didn't get many opportunities. Had one good volleyed shot.

      Think there's going to be a Chelsea resurgence but its going to start at the back with 1-0 victories. That's whats putting me off him atm.

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I did. He played well. Had one big chance to score. Otherwise it was a tight game with neither team creating or giving up big chances.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Its not about how he played but how Chelsea played. Mou is doing the LVG "defence first" approach to turning around Chelsea's results. Courtois and Zouma are the only Chelsea players on my radar at the moment. Sorry this doesn't directly answer your question but just stay away from Chelsea's attacking assets.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 13 Years

        No that's very useful, thanks. It supports what the stats say too.

      Been planning for a Kane, Lukaku, Aguero front 3 for weeks.

    5. KOLASINA(C)
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      And people will be moaning because they didn't get Aguero before his another haul... This guy is just class and essential.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Kun will punish non owners soon. Same story evey year

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          that can be said of most explosive players though...Alexis, Hazard, Kane etc.

    6. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Selling Vardy is madness, excellent value at 6M, he just scored vs best def team in the league, he has no difficult fixture at all.

      Kane is good pick but we just cannt get them all. 3,7M between Kane and Vardy mean: Vardy +KDB vs Kane + Cabaye

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Kane's stats over last 6 weeks are better than that of Vardy.

        1. Sasquatch Slayer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I'm hoping his output matches the price premium over Vardy as well.

    Sanchez --> Ozil is my obvious move this week but I wondering if there is a risk that with Sanchez injured Ozil's points might dry-up? Over-thinking it??

    Silva and Coutinho are my alternative options.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Silva won MoTM last night

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        But more importantly didn't get any goals or assists.

        1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Doesn't matter much.
          He is a consistent 6 ppg FPL player when fit.

          1. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Doesn't matter that he didn't get any goals or assists? Not sure about that.

            Well, if KDB benefits from his assists which make up that 6ppg that he'll most definitely be a better option with Goals + assists.

            1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              *Doesn't matter that he didn't get goals/assists in one particular match, as he is usually one of the consistent sources of points (through goals and assists).

              As for Silva vs KDB, I wasn't even discussing that. I have KDB in my team since GW 6, and I'm happily keeping him.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        And KDB benefited from it.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years

          *benefitted from awful defending/goalkeeping

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, Ozil the best choice. KDB second. Coutinho third imo.

    3. AB.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks all. I think I'll probably go with Ozil - just exploring all options.

  25. John wick

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which is better combination of forward

    A. Kun kane vardy
    B. Kun lukaku kane
    C. Lukaku kane vardy
    D. Kun lukaku vardy

    If our midfield is
    Mahrez defloeu kdb ozil

    1. Holmes

      If you can afford, B

      • 11 Years

      Stick with whichever trio you're already on at the moment

    2. sleecc
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I think B is the ultimate 1 if you can afford, but Vardy is not a bad choice as long as he keeps scoring, he will provide you consistent points.

      1. Flying Dutchman
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy Ighalo Lukaku

    Need a 6th striker for December UFPL, currently on the template 5 of Aguero, Kane, Lukaku, Vardy, Ighalo. For #6 who would you go for?

    A) Deeney (despite owning Ighalo too)
    B) Giroud (despite Walcott's imminent return)
    C) Benteke

      I might be tempted by Martial, tbh. If not then Benteke.

      Watmore

      Punt it on Benteke and the inevitable Sturridge collapse

    8. Eze Really?

      Wally for a punt.

    9. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years

      Sturbridge punt?

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      So many options! Thanks guys I'll play around with my midifeld a bit more then see what I've got left. There doesn't seem to be a clear must have.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      nope, Captaining him is always risky

    2. Emp

      ye id say so , good numbers playing against a weak defense who are going to be needing to go for a win themselves

      Dont get disappointed if he scores 2pts 😀

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        If you take a punt you have to be ready for disappointment 🙂

      I currently have him as VC (with Lukaku C). I think he's a decent shout .

  27. Whats the Huth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    DDG
    Wollscheid. Kolv. Bellerin. Moreno. Prodl.
    Mahrez. Ozil. Barkley. KDB. Sanchez.
    Kane. Lukaku. Ighalo.

    Sanchez out for who?

    Bench Mahrez?

    Thanks

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years

      1FT? Save and play Mahrez
      2FT? Some cheapie, save other FT and play Mahrez

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Was thinking getting a cheapie.
        Save the money ITB for a Ighalo to Kun upgrade when Watford's fixtures are over.

    2. AB.
      • 15 Years

      Coutinho.
      Tough call but, yes, bench Mahrez.

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years

      I would do Sanchez to 4.5 cheapie and Ighalo to Aguer next weeok

    Norwich
    Bournemouth
    Aston Villa

    To be the bottom 3 at the end of the season? or you think one of Tyne-Wear side will get relegated?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Newcastle, Bourne, Aston Villa

    2. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Newcastle instead of Norwich imo

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Norwich
      Sunderland
      Villa

    4. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Newcastle will get relegated imo, if they keep McClaren

      1. Pochecinno
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        They'll still get relegated if they replace him with Redknapp

        1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          🙂

    5. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      18 is open for me
      19 Bournemouth
      20 Villa

      Newcastle should find their quality, Fat Sam will prob save Sunderland.

      Norwich or even Swansea maybe

    6. HNI
      • 11 Years

      NewC
      AVL
      3rd too early to say for certain

  29. Puyol Pants Up
    • 10 Years

    I'm so tempted by Hazard. Don't know why. Don't want to bring him in though because I won't have cash itb to upgrade Ighalo. Is he worth it?

    1. Pochecinno
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Dont...Gut feeling not much better than mind...Last week for first time I went with gut captain choice of Kun and got burnt...Never again! Ozil c
