This evening, we roll out the semi-final draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during the quarterfinals.

With a score of 62 bobbyg emerged as the top scoring manager during the quarter-finals, which took place during Gameweek 22. He easily saw off round seven’s top scorer 66irons  to progress and earn himself £25 worth of free Paddy Power bets.

His opponent in the semi-finals will be CMIFLFC , who beat  Wolverine in the quarter-finals. CMIFLC, who has an overall rank of 5,439, has activated his wildcard this week while bobbyg, who is ranked 663rd in the overall rankings, still has his to play.

The other semi-final will feature Momalpashands, who beat mjfdept in the quarterfinals, and Harts Hotspurs, the conqueror of United Nations. This will be something of a David and Goliath clash as, with a rank of 555th in the FPL game, Momalpashands is the competition’s highest placed manager, while Harts Hotspurs is the lowest, with a rank of 297,029. Both have yet to play their wildcard. Key differences in their current teams are Harts Hotspurs’s faith in Sergio Aguero and Branislav Ivanovic, while Momalpashands will be hoping Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas will score well enough to see him through.

The full list of quarter final results can be found here, while the semi-final draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to all four managers left in the competition. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

    Its very possible that if I WC next week I won't change a single member off my defense..

      *when I WC next week

    2. Walsh

      10 years, 10 months ago

      I changed every single member of my defense and both keepers on mine 🙂

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

        10 years, 10 months ago

        😆

    • 12 Years

    Secondly my argument for owning both Aguero and Costa, captaincy rotation.

    Here is the full rotation from here on out:

    MCI,HUL,EVE,BUR,liv,LEI,bur,WBA,STO,qpr,WHM,AVL,CPL,QPR,wba,SUN

    This is 12/16 home games and 13/16 games vs the bottom half. It will also include a DGW for Chelsea somewhere.

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Whats the point when Costa going be either banned or miss two of them in a few weeks when his 10th yellow comes up

      1. Pepereina Pizza
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        plus o...

        well, he IS ranked 12th in the world, so maybe we should think twice

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          What has to do with his ranking?

          1. Pepereina Pizza
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            His team may have something to do with his ranking, for one.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        If the ban is between GW27 and GW31 the rotation doesn't suffer. He could end up just missing the league cup final as one of his two and the following weeks City have relatively nice back up captaincy options.

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      The kun hazard captaincy rotation looks very similar...

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        You cheeky bugger you

      2. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Lol

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Despite having (C) Costa last week, this argument isn't entirely valid as most consider (probably myself included) Hazard to be a better captaincy option than the "spaniard"

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        a 23 million pound rotation, nearly a quarter of budget

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          You've been playing Costa and Rooney together up front, where's really the difference in Aguero/Costa to that?

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Costa:
        3.3 Shots/90
        1.7 SoT/90
        1.8 KP/90
        5.1 Shot Contribution/90

        Hazard:
        2.1 Shots/90
        0.8 SoT/90
        2.6 KP/90
        4.7 Shot Contribution
        0.45 Clean Sheets/90

        I'll take Costa for the shot numbers alone. Then I'll look at his shot map:

        https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7ALUNMIcAAFECq.png

        and it's a no brainer for me.

      You should see Aguero/Sanchez. Delicious.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Sanchez/Costa/Aguero?

        AVL,HUL,LEI,BUR,EVE,LEI,bur,WBA,STO,qpr,SUN,AVL,CPL,QPR,wba,SUN

        For what it's worth, I see Arsenal becoming less reliant on Sanchez as Ozil/Ramsey/Wally return and I don't see it as a case of us scoring more goals and everyone getting points. We're in a similar place to 2012/13 where we had to chase hard for 4th and started shutting games down at 1-0 or 2-0.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Agree on your Sanchez point.
          Agree on your Costa/ Aguero rotation captaincy. Captained Costa over Hazard last GW and will continue to do so for all tasty Chelsea fixtures until he is (if) banned.

          FFS (led by Jonty) has become obsessed with Costa's lean spell (FPL wise) and has branded him bad value. He's going to be top scorer and braces will become more frequent.

          He maybe a thug, but he looked like a super fit thug to me, tonight.

    5. Koflok
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      or you can captain Hazard..

  2. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    best one week punt for midfielder 6.1 or below??

    cheers

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years

      Punch

    2. Pepereina Pizza
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      either puncheon or henderson

  3. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Media is going bananas on Costa stamps. Means Costa to get away with it I guess.

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      The top players normally do

      If it was some thug from Stoke it would be 3 match ban straight off

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        If it was Suarez it'd be a 20 game ban 😆

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          If it was Suarez he'd deserve it. 😉

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            As would your neanderthal. 😉

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Charlie Adam choking Sanchez got nothing!

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      wow

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        😀

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years

          Never forget 😉

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I'll then bring him in on my WC only to see him score an own goal, get booked and then murder an opposing player.

  4. The Left Duke #3
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Looking for some advise people.
    Need to downgrade Silva this GW to free up funds so I can upgrade Rooney to Aguero next GW.

    Current Team
    Panti, Heaton
    Terry, Wisdom, Wasilewski, Cameron, Hutton
    Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Elmohamdy, Boyd
    Rooney, Costa, Kane

    Currently have 1.3m ITB so would who is the best MD to bring for 8.5m or less?

    A) Cazorla
    B) Sterling
    C) Mata
    D) Other Option

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Cazorla, but he may become a rotation risk long term.

  5. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Those with triple Chelsea and Spurs should be concerned. They might miss a gameweek.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Who in their right mind has triple Chelsea?

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I personally don't. Just Hazard/Costa right now with Kane. That's still enough to cause me worry. Having a strong bench is very important.

      2. Dr. Agabuse
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        *spurs

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Oh right. Yeah, meant triple Spurs.

            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Me. lloris/Eriksen/Kane. Wildcarding next week though!

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Ranked 12th overall lol

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah haha, It's nearly all luck once you're in the top 10K. I still can't believe I pulled off Eriksen(C).

                1. Not Irish
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 10 months ago

                  lol

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I don't have this but even if I did I don't see why it should be a concern. Four gameweeks still to go, all you need to do is save in GW26 and sort it out with two frees before 27. Hardly see the problem..

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Agree

      2. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Not a fan of Chelsea in the next three games to be fair. Not getting a Chelsea defender in just yet.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          My brain cannot process that statement.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          * Next 1 game

      3. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Better to carry 2 FTs through GW27 to use stocking back up on them both for their DGWs

        So assuming you on WC this week, from next week you have 3 transfers to prepare (24,25,26,27 less 1 save). An injury elsewhere and you take a hit or lose an ft for the DGW

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Not sure I really follow that, Zan, but I agree stockpiling for the DGW is a priority. Will come most likely around GW30 I am thinking. Either way, will have a solid enough squad to make one or two moves to run out a full team for GW27 shouldn't be too hard. And taking a hit for a DGWer is hardly the worst thing...and even still should be able to be avoidable if planned accordingly. Again, that means avoiding the Bellerin's and Baird's or like flavors of the day which may be difficult..

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Baird just tastes too good.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Today.. 🙂

                And for a good long while, yous! 😡

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs to lose tomorrow and this'll all blow over.

  6. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Costa's going to start getting yellow cards/red cards now that I bought him back. He always does bad for me when I own him but it hurts not owning him.

  7. sinik

    does anyone have that FFS article that showed the mids far outscoring the strikers bookmarked?

      it's very difficult to search this site. I must have 30 bookmarks of stuff like this, but this isn't one of them, sorry

  8. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Basically guys I need your advice on what to do this GW....I dont want to wildcard until next week because I always wait until everything is settled and the bandwagons have unwagoned etc

    Current pre wildcard team:

    Hart

    Baines...Wisdom....Clyne

    Hazard....Silva.....Sterling.....Downing

    Austin.....Costa......Kane

    Subs:Elliot. Siggy. Creswell. Hutton

    I have 2.1 ITB and for a -4 wanna do Siggy > 6.1 Mid or below?
    and then Silva > Sanchez

    Thoughts appreciated / advice if right thing to do?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      WC now.

      1. Nazz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        are you sure? Why?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          That looks like a red arrow to me and I see a lot of changes you'd probably make. Can't see it paying off enough to wait another week.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Dont

        1. Nazz
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          dont what ... dont WC yet?

          1. Twelve years a slave
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            No need to wildcard that lot, i would wait till the last week

            1. Nazz
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              should i take a 4 point hit?

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Like it. No one has Benz anymore. Wwwish u luck

      1. Nazz
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I have to take the hit to bring in sanchez,,,he is the essential captain this gw IMO

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Just do Costa to Giroud for free and slap the armband on him Job done

          1. Nazz
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            If Costa is banned I will do this and keep Siggy but still get in Sanchez

    3. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Possible team:

      Hart

      Baines...Wisdom....Clyne

      Hazard....Walters....Sterling.....Sanchez

      Austin.....Costa......Kane

      Subs:Elliot. Downing. Creswell. Hutton

      Good for one last GW??

      1. colby_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        How about Siggy ---> Elia (H vs. Swansea) and Silva ---> Sanchez? Unless there's news I'm unaware with with Elia, I think it is worth a 4-point hit. Hold off as long as you can, though. Looks like you won't have to make a move for another couple of nights.

    Arsenal fans--who is more likely to play Bellerin or Monreal? Thx

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin just? It's a bit of a crapshoot to be honest. I'm getting him in as a defender who I won't mind getting benched.

      1. The_Kane_Train
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Will Chambers be back this week?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          He'll be fit again, but Bellerin has shown he's the better fullback in Chambers' absence.

    Who is Mourinho on about?

    Declining to identify who he was talking about, Mourinho accused a television pundit of having a "campaign" against Costa.

    He said: "I think maybe you are already influenced by... I'm going to use a word which put me in trouble but I think this time I cannot be punished to say that there is a campaign on the television with a certain pundit that is saying Diego Costa 'crimes'. This guy must be nuts.

    "Great campaign. We know how much that pundit loves Chelsea and particularly loves me.

    "These guys, they have a very good seat, very good money, no pressure. They are always right. They never lose, they always win, but they have to be fair and they have to be honest.

    "Forget it. Let's go to Wembley. Come on. I don't know his name, because when I see him I switch off the television."

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He's in danger of becoming a clown. A slightly less entertaining and effective one at that.

      1. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I don't like his as much the second time around

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          He lost it at Real. 'Mind Games' only work retrospectively when you've won something.

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          At all.

      Carra, maybe?
      Mourinho celebrated like fkkk at the final whistle. He hates Liverpool. All because of a a ball that may or may not have crossed the goal line. Everyone, I mean, EVERYONE forgets the fact that Cech took Baros out before Garcia took the shot. Red card and penalty for sure.
      Mourinho... meh

      He's real good at taking the focus off his players performance. Don't think he gives a rats a** about public perception as long as he gets the big paycheck and wins.

    Costa nailed on for a 3 game ban?

    He is such a twat. Deserves everything he gets.

      • 12 Years

      Oh the speculation! The FA loves to gloss over this stuff on occasion, wait til more concrete news reports.

    You know, I have never felt like Wildcarding this entire season. Yet my team just doesn't seem to catch fire. Maybe I've stuck to old guns a bit too long. Thoughts? I just don't feel like Wildcarding for basically 3 players tops.

    De Gea, Gilks
    Terry, Koscielny, Hutton, Wisdom, S. Taylor
    Sanchez, Di Maria, Downing, Fabregas, Boyd
    Costa, Rooney, Austin

      You should ask Triggerlips what to do. 2 peas in a pod 😀

      • 12 Years

      Downing/Saylor/Rooney/Austin all to go. Aguero + others to get in.

        Phil Jones will have to take the world by storm without my backing I'm afraid.

      Nothing, really.

        Cheers.

    3. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Azpi is a worry. I thought getting him might be a good idea but with Luis playing well and Azpi having a shocker against Bradford you never know. Baird is also a worry but not that big of a risk at 3.9M. Overall it's a good defence but maybe a tad bit expensive.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Azpi was still getting back to fitness in that match. He's the best. LB in the league so I rather doubt he'll miss too many.

      2. yemzinho

        Luis is injured now

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          And this.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Not a lot. No keeper rotation if I'm being picky.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I loathe GK rotations. So frustrating.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Fair enough. I'm the same, I just know it goes against consensus.

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah. My only worry is using up two WBrom spots with Foster/Myhill. Surely I won't wish I'd tripled up?

              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              WBA don't have any good home games until GW31 so I dont see any need for trebling up any time soon. Plus filling your roster with 3 WBA GKs/DEFs stops you being tempted by a punt for Berahino which is a good thing.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Azpi and Baird are not necessarily nailed on.

      I'd love to get Fonte for one of those SOT defenders of yours.

  20. palace ash
    • 16 Years

    I need to pick three budget mids, but can't decide which. Pick three (I have Kane):

    Chadli
    Johnson
    Larsson
    Puncheon
    Elia
    Henderson
    Moses
    Walters
    Barkley
    Montero

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years

      AJ Punch and Moses.

    2. Lallana_
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Puncheon, Moses, Elia

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      3?? Save some money in defence and get two.

      Ill play along though: AJ, Punch, Walters

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Punch. AJ. Moses

        Damn. That's one impressive spreadsheet 😆

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        As it's hulked (Thanks TM), what the link above is:

        I've made a comprehensive fixture tracker that tracks all fixtures for Premier League teams including Cup games and European Games.

        The Benefits:
        + Potential Double Gameweeks are marked.
        + Potential Blank Gameweeks are marked.
        + Matchdays (Sat/Sun/Mon) are shown, which is very useful for Ultimate FPL.
        + You can see which teams have important midweek games that may cause them to rest players or be tired the following weekend.

        Here's a quick guide to reading the spreadsheet:
        + Blue columns - Premier League fixture
        + Other column - Other fixtures
        + Cell with red outline - Fixture in danger of being rescheduled.
        + Dark blue cell - Chance of fixture in danger being played at this time.

        Thank you Baldwin, very nice. I'll have a good peruse this evening.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Spurs game has potential to be bought forward to GW25 instead of pushed back.

    2. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If Spurs win, yes.

      Chelsea definitely.

      QPR is a maybe. Leicester definitely.

    Morning DZ.

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Foster Myhill
    Terry Fonte Jones PVA Wisdom
    Haz Sanchez Cazorla Punch Boyd
    Costa Kun Defoe

    with still another 0.2 itb, I can also do

    A. PVA -> Bellerin
    B. Fonte -> Berty/Clyne
    C. Caz -> Sterling
    D. keep it as it is

    ta

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Looks fine to me.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        thanks man. should I consider option C?

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          At the moment, I wouldn't.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            I like Santi's prospect but I feel slightly nervous abut chasing last week's points, plus Santi has Ozil lurking. With Raheem he's still the go-to guy and Studge's return may benefit him after all.

            Why wouldn't you? Care to share? I missed last night's game so maybe I'm missing a point.

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              I agree getting Santi is a bit of chasing last weeks points but he is still on form and has pens in his locker so can't see it going too pear shaped in the near term. Sterling just so uninspiring from an FPL standpoint for me. He has not taken a step forward this season with his finishing ability in general and he has no one to assist as they are such a mess in attack. He may be back into our thoughts once Sturridge is back up and firing but I'd rather see it first rather than preempt it. Sturridge not on the bench today leads me to believe he is further away from a return than BR's quotes earlier lead us to believe....something he's done in the past as well.

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 10 months ago

                Cheers for the thoughts mate. Yeah, like I said before, mad for Wenger to drop Santi after that performance against City.

                fwiw I'm really considering PVA -> Bellerin atm 😉

                1. Walsh
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 10 months ago

                  Yeah I think that is also sort of a silly risk and just a waste of .2 given the rest of your defense with three start every week types in there already.

                  1. NABIL - FPL otai
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 10 months ago

                    Indeed. Oh well I really think ARS will keep a cleanie against hapless Villa, but then PVA offers stability and greater attacking threat. Hopefully the decision to ignore ARS defence won;t bite me.

    2. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Good team, but personally don't like sanchez + cazorla I'd say choose one

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Initially thinking of Sterling (definitely nailed on unlike Santi) for that spot. but then I'm making money with Santi and with the kind fixtures ARS have, I'm really torn between the two.

  23. davies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What happened to Fabregas?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      rested for PL games i suppose.

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years

        Throwing all the eggs in the C1C basket eh.

      precautionarily hobbled off.

    3. davies

      Thanks all. Should be fine for the weekend?

  24. dmhomag
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Costa > Cisse? Good chance Costa might get banned. Also Cisse just fell in price and now back from AFCON.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      a) 'might'

      b) that's a lot of change floating around

      c) Defoe's fixtures

  25. RSe
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Am I right to hold WC until next GW..

    Hart
    Ivan//Clyne//Trippier
    Haz//Sanchez//Silva//Punch
    Kane//Costa//Austin

    4.0. -- Downing//Naylor//Hutton

    *Downing to come in if Costa banned...

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, hold on. there's a good chance of fixture announcements next week.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      If I were you, I'd WC last week. Perhaps you're already late to the party, just ride that team - still a pretty decent team and hope for your best.

    Any United fans around?

    How do you feel about this weekends game? Optimistic or having nightmares?

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Not a United fan but I can't see how they wouldn't be optimistic. Leicester have been horrific ever since that win.

    2. Not Irish

      Still thinking if ADM should be in my team...

  28. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 months ago

    I REALLY don't want Costa in my team. Won't cost me as badly as Suarez did last season but it feels slightly stupid going without.

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah. Although I've owned him since GW1 I half hope he gets suspended, wouldn't mind a punt on Giroud or someone else.

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      In the same boat. Find myself hoping for a 3 game ban. Already know what my WC changes would be.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 months ago

      I was about to say Sturridge can't come fast enough, but then I saw his fixtures! 😯

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 months ago

        Defoe until Bony gets back would do just fine.

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Agree.

          Muppet are you going F.A.G

          Fancy it but then it leaves two budget mids

          I could show you.....

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 10 months ago

            No thanks. That sounds a bit explicit for this forum and not my thing anyway.

            1. Stupendous
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 10 months ago

              Falcao Kane Giroud?

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years

                Kane>Defoe

    3. Billy Ketsu

      Not bad ... Pretty template. I'd watch Fab to see if he was truly injured earlier.
