Scout Notes – Gameweek 9 – Sunday

Samuel Eto’o bags a brace as Everton ease past Burnley. United clinch a last-gasp point at home to Chelsea thanks to Robin van Persie, whilst Alan Pardew’s half-time changes inspire Newcastle to victory at the Lane.

Van Persie Leaves it Late

Robin van Persie struck his third goal in five appearances late in injury time to earn United a 1-1 home draw with league leaders Chelsea. He may be far from justifying his 12.4 price tag, but the Dutchman is at least providing the goals to raise the Red Devils’ hopes of a title challenge and looks in pole position to retain the lone striker role ahead of Radamel Falcao, should Louis van Gaal continue with his current formation when the Colombian recovers from a knock. With Wayne Rooney also back from suspension next week, however, Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how the United boss opts to line up from here on in.

Angel Di Maria disappointed his 39.5% ownership by serving up a blank against the Blues but the underlying stats remain strong – the former Real Madrid man still, nonetheless, produced four attempts on goal and five key passes across the 90 minutes. Although some owners may now be considering selling for Alexis Sanchez or Eden Hazard before next weekend’s deadline, Di Maria does have three excellent home fixtures in his next four from Gameweek 11 onwards (CPL, HUL, STK) – a schedule that could see him rack up the points once again.

Drogba Proves an Able Deputy

Jose Mourinho’s side still remain undefeated, even without talismanic striker Diego Costa, who didn’t travel to Old Trafford. Instead, it was left to Didier Drogba to do the business up top – the Chelsea legend nodding home his first Premier League goal since 2012 in his first league start of his second tenure at Stamford Bridge. With basement-dwellers QPR up next for the Blues, question marks remain over whether Mourinho will risk Costa, whose combination of hamstring and illness problems could be set to frustrate his declining band of owners yet further. Chelsea have picked up four points in the two matches without the Spain striker and with another international break around the corner, it remains to be seen whether his manager will feel it necessary to rush him back into action.

Elsewhere for Chelsea, Branislav Ivanovic was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence yesterday – an incident that consequently led to United grabbing the equaliser – though the 7.3-priced defender will serve his ban in the midweek Capital One Cup clash with Shrewsbury Town and will be available for selection once more against QPR in Gameweek 10.

Toffees Front Two See Off Burnley

Everton strike duo Samuel Eto’o and Romelu Lukaku were both amongst the goals yesterday in a 3-1 win at Burnley. The former bagged a brace in just his second start of the campaign, whilst Lukaku continued to show signs of consistency, notching a fourth in his last six appearances, with bonus points also acquired in two of those displays.

With European commitments to consider, Roberto Martinez’s rotation policy is paying off for the Toffees right now – it’s two consecutive wins in the league, with three goals scored in each of those fixtures. Having impressed against Aston Villa last weekend, Ross Barkley was victim to his manager’s rotation this time round and made just a 26-minute cameo from the bench in the victory. Steven Naismith did, however, retain his starting spot, though the Scot disappointed his 25.4% ownership with his fifth blank his last six outings and was fielded on the flank in order to accommodate Eto’o in a central role alongside Lukaku.

Baines’ Blistering Form Continues

The left-back notched yet another assist and also walked away from Turf Moor with two bonus points to ensure his place atop the Fantasy Premier League defender rankings. A total of six assists is already more than Baines managed across the entire 2013/14 season, and with the Toffees’ kind upcoming fixtures in mind (SWA, sun, WHM), his imperious form looks set to continue. Available for 7.1, he may be the second dearest backline option in the game, but with three double-figure hauls already to his name, Baines is arguably shaping up for his strongest season so far for the Toffees.

Spurs Suffer Euro Hangover

Yesterday’s shock defeat to Newcastle means that the north London outfit have taken just six points from five matches after Europa League fixtures this season – a fact that now means they sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table. However, whilst Cristian Eriksen and Nacer Chadli struggled against the Toon, Emmanuel Adebayor did at least pick up returns in the Tottenham attack. The Togo international scored his side’s goal in the 2-1 loss, and also received maximum bonus points, as he returned to the starting line-up after being rested against Man City in Gameweek 9. Spurs have good fixtures ahead (avl, STK, hul), but with only six goals now scored in their last seven in the league, managers are likely to have reservations over investing in their attackers right now.

Toon Fringe Players Spark Comeback

Newcastle have now recorded back-to-back wins despite the loss of their star striker Papiss Cisse to a knee injury ahead of yesterday’s clash. Instead, it was left to their squad players to pick up the points, with half-time substitute Sammy Ameobi and Ayoze Perez, in his first start of the season, grabbing the goals. Remy Cabella also emerged from the bench, and delivered the cross for Ayoze to head home Newcastle’s second, and the 7.2-priced midfielder will now be hopeful of regaining his starting berth for the first time since Gameweek 6 when Alan Pardew’s side take on Liverpool next weekend. Once again, the 4.4-priced Gabriel Obertan retained his starting position and looks increasingly integral to the Magpies’ fortunes this term.

    Sakho - > Ulloa
    save

    not all of ofcourse. Which looks best though for my FT?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ADM to Hazard

    2. vova
      • 13 Years

      Siggy should be alright for the next game.

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years

      Gotta be Sakho out imo. Can't have one of those striker spots going to waste. Bank?

      1. Fader
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        0.3m so could go to Berahino...

        not going to lose ADM.

        How is Sakho a waste? He can't stop scoring

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Isn't he injured for a month?

    4. Fader
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      think I'll wait on Sakho news. If he out I'll go Sakho - > Berahino. If he plays then I'll go Targett - > Bruce as Hulls fixtures are pretty decent.

    Happy with my starting 11 so not so what to with my FT this week.. either i
    A) strenghten my startin 11 by gettin Hazard/Sanchez in and sacrificing one of the guys i have or B) do some maintenance work and just swap Caulker for Chambers.. or even Caulker to Saylor and Vardy to Berahino

    1. davies
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Caulker > Chambers.

    2. The Governor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Blimey, that bench!!

      I'd be looking to downgrade Siggy to a £4.4m cheap mid, and upgrade Vardy to Berainho/Sakho.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Caulker to Chambers and my bench will look just fine tbh.. Vardy upgraded in a few weeks via a tadic downgrade

      2. chrisjdgrady

        This

    3. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)

      Eriksen, get him out, good fixtures or not, Spurs doing nothing

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen + Tadic + Vardy to Hazard + Berahino + Boyd for -4?

  3. The Governor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any advice on what to do with this front 7 would be much appreciated:

    Fabregas -- Sterling -- Tadic -- Barkley
    Aguero -- Pelle -- Naismith

    Only one FT, and £2.6m in the bank.

    My thoughts:

    A) Naismith --> Welbeck
    B) Sterling --> Alexis Sanchez
    C) 4 point hit for Sterling --> Sanchez and Naismith --> Sakho/Berainho

    Or any other thoughts/suggestions!?

  4. Doolittle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Slightly frustrating that I've been debating captaining Sanchez the last 2 weeks and haven't either time! What to do with the team this week?

    Foster
    Baines/Bertrand/PVA
    Sanchez/Fabregas/Sterling/Tadic
    Aguero/Welbeck/Berahino

    Bench: Krul/Wisdom/Naylor/Marney

    1 FT, 1.4 ITB.

    Thinking maybe Sterling to Hazard?

    All suggestions much appreciated.

    1. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nice. Sterling to hazard could be good. Maybe wait and see if by some miracle well have costa news and get him in

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          At least 6 weeks, in other words.

    Any ideas?

    DDG
    Bertrand Baines Wisdom (Chester, Duff)
    ADM Sigurdsson Tadic Sterling
    Aguero Lukaku Pelle

    On this atm:

    DDG + Sterling -----> Foster/4.6m + Hazard

    So lads, raise of hands. Who's getting Alexis this week? And if yes, who are you moving out to make way for him?

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Me!

      Siggy & Sterling > Sanchez & Hazard

      1. Edmond
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Really nice moves there Superdunny! Wish I have that much cash in my bank 🙁

        Would you take out Di Maria for Alexis?

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Losing Di Maria is a real tough one. I'm a bit torn at the moment between losing Sterling or ADM.

          I think i probably would though yeah. I have ZERO Arsenal cover and for a home game against Burnley that just can't continue

        2. Ice
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No way, ADM is five points behind Sanchez but has played two games less. His underlying stats are very good and he's got three good fixtures in the next four. City's defence isn't great as well. With Wally coming back Arsenals midfield is going to be shaken up a lot. I'd wait for Wally, he's gold at 9 million.

    2. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      o/ Siggy

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ADM has gone the journey for me. Short separation rather than full divorce.

  11. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would you start either of Moore (WBA) or Clyne (hul) over Siggy (eve)?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years

      clyne possibly

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Never

    4. A Defender's Nightmare

    5. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years

      Maybe Clyne but probably not

  12. The Governor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sakho has scored in 5 games in a row, crazy.

    Surely he can't make it 6!?

    Are things just going for him at the moment? Is he actually any good!?

    Or are we going to have an Ulloa situation all over again!?

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      5 in a row
      Good fact finding, nice to see someone keep up with latest footy info

    2. Fader
      • 10 Years

      6 in 6 actually

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        *7 in 7

        1. Fader
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          if you count the cup, yep.

    3. QPR expects... glory!
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It's thought that though he didn't break or dislocate his collar bone on Saturday that he suffered some ligament damage. That being the case he's not likely to play this week. The last thing Big Sam will want is Shawcross, N'Zonzi and co pulling on his arms at every opportunity!

    4. The Governor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Erm, in FPL, which is the game we are playing, he has scored in 5 consecutive games...

  13. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I have no chickens left to count

    1. Tony Warner Fan Club
      • 10 Years

      Did the fox get them?

      1. John t penguin
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        No I never lost any, just finished counting

  14. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm not sure I get this emerging Oscar bandwagon

    Better midfield options surely, despite Chelski play QPR ?

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      direct FKs and lots of shots have turned heads. number 10 role too

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      For around 8m? Not really...besides Eriksen in a team in horrible form.

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        But surely most people have or looking to have a Mf shortlist of these...

        Fab, haz, Sanchez, ramsey, sterling, Tadic, adm, Siggy.

        I see Oscar as a second tier choice.

        No?

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Definitely...I might put him ahead of Tadic, Siggy and for now, Sterling.

          But, he is a second tier choice. The thing is, people really want Chelsea cover for QPR. Don't have Costa, can't afford Hazard and their next best option is Oscar. He's been in decent form the past few weeks, and has looked good, so that's where all this love's coming from I suppose.

          1. Evs
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'm never sold on this 'cover' theory.

            Get the players in the points e.g. Fab, Costa. Maybe Hazard.

            1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              oscar has more points than haz over the last 4 games

              1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Do you really think it will continue long term though? Not a chance imo. Even looking at it in terms of points per £ i think Hazard will destroy him

                1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  oscar seems to be having more shots on goal than hazard.. think he has a chance if he keeps that up.

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      worst wagon since Balotelli

    4. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed.

      If i'm getting a Chelsea midfielder i'm not gonna get their 3rd or 4th best option. If i'm priced out of the top draw boys (Fab, Haz etc) then i spend it on the TOP midfielder from a lesser team. It's not rocket science is it

      1. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Oscar is a top midfielder option.

        1. Miracallas
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          He really isn't

        2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Best of luck

      2. Demí
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Agree with this, dont get the Oscar love either

    5. King Nil Miss ✩
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed, he always seems a bit lost in the middle of the park, plus he focuses much more on the defensive part nowadays.

    6. Edmond
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm with you on this Evs. I think it's mainly because of his cheaper price compared to Haz or Cesc.

      On an unrelated note, what do you think of this whole Costa situation? You keeping him?

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I sold him this week.

        My issues is if he's declared fit for qpr, hopefully he won't be risked.

    7. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I have a theory, a conspiracy theory for that matter...

      Fabregas has 4 YC... If I were Mourinho, I'd play him in the cup game and "suggest" that he gets booked... then he misses QPR but back for Liverpool and fully rested for CL...

      1. Miracallas
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        If this happens I'll be tempted to to Fab>Haz

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Apparently this is gonna happen

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Hmmmm.

              unless Mourinho has the above in mind...

    If Costa looks to be out again this weekend, my midfield will be Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas and Hazard!

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Got my vote in community scout pick then
      Oh wait

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Too late to the party, so didn't bother this week. My picks from last week would've been joint top, with Mark.

        1. John t penguin
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I voted for you then also
          Was easily best team

      Bad ass

  16. Tony Warner Fan Club

    Di Maria > Sanchez worth it? Already have Welbeck.

    1. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think so.

      1. Tony Warner Fan Club
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hope so, it's the only realistic way of getting him in which I really want to do.

    2. Miracallas
      • 12 Years

      Not IMO

        curse you!

    3. A Defender's Nightmare

      Nope

  17. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Di Maria > Hazard could be a season changer...

    1. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      you'd want AdM back the following week... I think you need to find someone else to ditch...

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      up or down?

  18. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Alexis definitely the player I want to own this coming game week..

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Him and hazard would be nice, I have neither

      1. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I have neither also. Surely one of them is going to get double points.

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          .. yes, surely the one I don't bring in ....

  19. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is this in right order?

    Start: Siggy (eve)
    1st sub: Moore (WBA)
    2nd sub: Clyne (hul)

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne over Moore

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Don't fancy Leicester CS at home to WBA?

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think either Clyne or Moore will keep you a clean sheet. In those cases it's solely on attacking threat and i don't think that is much of a contest

  20. The Light Knight
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mata pretty much certain to be replaced by Roonpig yeah?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yup.

    2. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Probably. He looks a passenger lately

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He was awful again yesterday

      1. The Light Knight
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, he clearly needs to be a no.10 and nothing else (although he hasn't been great there either)
        Ta lads

    4. Bob.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah hopefully.

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sold Costa for 10.6 before Everton haul. Bought him back for 11.0 before his injury. Losing value on him every day. Not sure what to do. Have Aguero and Hazard (and Fabreagas as more Chelsea cover) who I would most likely captain this weekend anyway.

    2FT and a chance to overhaul my team by getting in the likes of Sanchez, Baines. Wish I'd just done my transfers of Costa, PvA > Berahino, Baines. Would have scooped my monthly mini league prize as well. Anyone else in this situation? What are you doing with him?

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sell tonight for Lukaku before he drops

  22. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Other than waiting on news on Costa/Siggy.. Would you save your FT with this team this week?

    Foster
    Bertrand - Chambers - Wilson
    Sanchez - Tadic - Sterling - Siggy
    Costa - Welbeck - Aguero

    1FT, 0.6 in the bank

  23. skodaole2
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Need some help, i have at least 2-3 players who should be replaced. If Sakho is ruled out then,

    A) Sakho + Lallana -> Rooney + Jedinak (-4)

    B) Sakho + Lallana -> Valencia/ Hernandez(HULL) + Oscar (-4)

    C) Sakho -> Ings

    D) Lallana -> Oscar and play Boyd

    E) Other options with 1 FT and 1.2 in Bank

    Heaton, Mannone
    Baines, Clyne, N.Taylor, Moore, Wisdom
    ADM, Sterling, Lallana, Cazorla, Boyd
    Aguero, Sakho, Pelle

  24. Fader
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What's the latest on Robertson?

  25. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Paul Dummett nailed on? Need a 4.0 and Not sure about Moore.

    1. Fader
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle are not going to get you clean sheets buddy

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Newcastle have the same number of cleanies as City, United and Arsenal

    2. Fader
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      go Bruce 3.9m

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not touching Bruce. Just need someone who can get me a couple of points when needed.

        1. Fader
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          so Bruce just got a clean sheet and played for 90 mins and has Soton + Burnley next but you'd rather Dummett who has Man City and Liverpool next and 0.1m more?

          okies

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Bruce isnt a starter.

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      moore better option than newcastle IMO

    4. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Should be for now, yep.

    5. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Check your other defenders to see when you'd need him. Newc not great for clean sheets but they do get the odd one or two.

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This is my thinking. Leicester only have one CS to date, and their sub keeper played for that game. Schmichael hasn't kept one to date.

    6. LOCO ABREU
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      moore leicester nailed

  26. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    lads, assuming Siggy and Costa are fine, am I really doing Mannone - Guzan this week???

    Mannone (Elliot)

    Cahill Baines Hutton (Wisdom Moore)

    Siggy Sterling Fab Chadli (Albrighton)

    Aguero Costa Pelle

  27. Bolivian Seaman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone going to gamble on Fellaini?

    1. DRY PEANUT
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      will he play when Rooney is back?

    2. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Erm...why?

  28. Owd Big 'Ed
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Having a bit of trouble here. I know I want Sanchez and Di Maria in my side but without sacrificing one of Aguero or Costa, I'm not sure how I can fit them in. Di Maria can wait. Sanchez I'd want immediately.

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Taylor, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    0.2 ITB . 1 FT

  29. jlut
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Simple question, Berahino or Sakho? (Or anyone else at that price point)

    1. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sakho injured, so Berahino.

    2. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sakho, unless he's injured (we should find out today), in which case Berahino obviously!

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sakho edges it on fixtures, I think. If he's not injured.

  30. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Kaboul was a terrible bandwagon also. I got him in early and then saw the bandwagon emerge on here.

    Will be gone as soon as the opportunity arises

    1. Bob.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I got him on in my WC too. Thought Spurs will be solid in defence after only conceding 2 goals in 3 and had decent enough fixtures going forward
