Rarely during the 180-episode history of the ScoutCast have I felt so under fire; forced to curl up in a ball and defend myself by any means necessary.

Reeling from the first dramatic failing of my no-Aguero policy, I recruit Luke to join myself, Andy and Jonty, only to find that I’ve set up an unwanted 3 vs 1 scenario.

A ten-minute tirade, during which I desperately clutch at every tangible straw, has me desperately trying to justify my Aguero stance, while my trio of co-hosts listen on, jab and prod and allow me to tie myself in knots.

Eventually I manage to deflect the blows and switch attentions to another round of community questions. We review failing heavy-hitters, a blossoming Baines and a resurgent Rooney, before the traditional preview of the Gameweek to come.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first aired live on Wednesday evening via our YouTube channel.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Bark KDB Ozil Mahrez (Alli)
    Kun Kane Lukaku

    GTG?

      I'm sure you know it 🙂
      Benching headache though

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐

      GTG

    3. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Dawson a concern.

        😛

  2. asif316uk
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Butland, Hennesey

    Kolarov, Wolly, Moreno, Targett, Walker

    KDB, Mahrez, Alli, Ramsey, Payet

    Kun, Kane, Lukaku

    2 FT

    should i do

    Kolarov + Ramsey OUT for either

    A - Baines + Barkley

    B - Clichy + Fabregas

    C - 4.5m Def + Silva

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A or C

      B is a joke, Clicy is not nailed and Fab is hardlyin form and poor fixture.

  3. Mr Sarcastic

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku leading captain poll by 3 votes!

    If one gets double digits and other one blanks, it's gonna have quite the effect on rankings.

    1. Wayne di Persie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You could minimise the damage by having them both.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      As is the case every week.

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        missed the point I'm afraid

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Won't be missing any points with Kun(C) 😉

          1. Mr Sarcastic
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            That's what I've had since last saturday.
            Hopefully I'm not gonna start to question myself before deadline 🙂

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Haha me too, and I aaaalways do!

              (see post below! 😛 )

    3. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tough choice this week.

  4. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play

    1. Dann

    or

    2. Bellerin

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bellerin.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bell

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely Bellerin, playing him over Wolly and Dann here

    4. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3 members on Bellerin, that'll do for me, cheers

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cue Dann hattrick.

  5. Wayne di Persie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My forwards are Kun- Giru- Kane. I really wish to get Lukaku in this week. Who should I take out - Giroud or Kane?

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gru. Ozil and Rambo cover your back.

    2. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Girouddddddddddd

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Kane, almost everyone else will think Giroud.

      1. Wayne di Persie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kane despite having good stats hasn't looked threatening enough. But with Giroud even scoring a goal doesn't get him any BPs. It's really confusing me.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I don't have either fwiw..

          Kun / Kaku / Iggy with the latter becoming one of the new cheapies next week and my midfield being strengthened again with Sanchez 🙂

    4. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane has 2 away games, and he scores most of his points at home, so there is a case for taking him out.

    5. ☆Khaz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take out Gru, but taking out Kane ofc is the differential move if you are chasing.

  6. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    When's the first presser gents?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firminow.

      I'm giving one 🙂

  7. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    DDG (Butland)
    Simpson, Alderweireld, Francis (VVD, Richards)
    Firmino, Ozil, Alli, Payet (Mahrez)
    Aguero, Kane, Ighalo

    Anything worth doing for a hit? 0.7 itb.

  8. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Eriksen > Anyone

    B) Save a FT.

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bark? Payet? Mahrez?

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Midfield of Ozil, Mahrez, Eriksen, Alli, Gosling currently.

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Get Bark for me. but Save is also a good option

        2. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Save and wait for DGW news

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I'm just logging off all day, and leaving Eriksen in. Please don't screw me over, Christian!

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      b

    3. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B unless you still have to jump on the Payet wagon 🙂

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This is the problem, I did plan to do Eriksen to Payet. But you know, 2 FTs with a DGW to be potentially confirmed and all that,

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Ah one hit won't kill ya before a DGW 😉

          I really think everyone should have Payet, especially at his price..

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Question is, will Eriksen outscore Payet this weekend? I think he might. 50/50!

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              50/50 indeed...

              I'd do it for free but not for a hit. Just my opinion, I think Payet is more consistent than Eriksen (who got two lucky enough goals last time out, but has been getting good stats as usual..)

              1. Trigg ⭐️
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Yep, those Eriksen stats ...

                I'll keep one more week, 2 FTs is rarely a regret.

                1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                  • 15 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Best of luck with it 🙂

                  1. Trigg ⭐️
                    • 13 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    Cheers, I'll need it!

    4. Wayne di Persie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Save and if he blanks turn him into Payet or Barkley depending upon DGWK news.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly, I'll just wait. Payet ain't gonna get double figures v City (famous last words!)

  9. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Kun talking himself up and says he now feels 100%

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      (C)

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      did he mention anything about how many goals he will score on saturday?

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He said and I quote ' i am in good place now. I score 7 goals against West ham. P.s. mahrez will score 8'

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I have 1 FT left. Quess I need to bring Ryad back 🙁

  10. Messi & fabregas
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2FT and a midfield of Payet, Mahrez , Ozil, Silva and Alli (forwards are Kane/kun/Lukaku)

    have 3mil in the bank, which of the mids would u change and for who?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez to Firmino.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep an eye out for one of the cheaper strikers and look to drop Kane for them to free up enough cash to do Mahrez/Alli -> Sanchez next week..

      So not much you can do yet, good team!

    3. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      cheers lads would consider

  11. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Seen as I am the ONLY one currently having Kun in my ML he has to be my captain right?

    (I am top of the ML)

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wish I could say the same

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah

    3. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Captain who you think will score the most points, as always!

      No need to look for differentials yet, especially since you're top.

      A Lukaku hat-trick could harm you, if your rivals captain him and you don't.

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        LOL toss a coin, no idea who will score more.

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, let them suffer:)

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😉

    5. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      captain the one the others will captain, probably lukaku

      1. ☆Khaz
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If you play to win the ML, this is the strategy when you're on top.

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with Ozil&Ramsey, are you still holding on both?

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Ramsey

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd ditch Ramsey for either Payet or Firmino of I had him.

  13. GoRedz
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes to make ? I am WCing, so very welcome to hear your thoughts.

    Butland (Forster)
    Monreal Baines Daniels (Nyom) (Targett)
    Payet Silva Ozil Alli (Mahrez)
    Kane Aguero Ighalo

    0.2 left

    1. GoRedz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      very welcome to hear your thoughts does not mean anything, does it ? apologies ... 🙂

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        🙂

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Lukaku is risky.

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This, too.

        Downgrade Baines to Jags, Forster to a cheap playing GK and get him in?

        1. GoRedz
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Even if that means Mahrez -> Gosling ?

          1. Trigg ⭐️
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm, maybe. Kane to Lukaku also an option, and get Kane in if needed in the future?

            1. GoRedz
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              cheers, that sounds sensible. Other option is Ozil -> Firmino but I love the german !

    3. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Needs more Kaku

    4. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you're wildcarding, I'd be tempted to get Sanchez in. But could wait a couple of weeks.

    5. GoRedz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      [...] *looking forward to hearing [...]

    6. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Luka, Mahrez to Barkley and Targett to Simpson.

  14. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who is your captain?

    Who is your differential?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't know.

      Haven't got one.

    2. Trigg ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku.

      I guess Eriksen, still.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Nice one.

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero or Lukaku. I let drunken me to decided.

      Selling Mahrez is differential enough

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sold for?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Not Firmino

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Mirallas?

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Payet

              1. Lateriser 12
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Good luck!

    4. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dunno
      Silva

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good differential. Hows the season?

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

          Garbage so far

    5. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure.
      Lloris, Walker, Shawcross, Sigurdsson, Watson.

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😯

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years

          2013 want their team back 😉

          1. boombaba
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            lol

          2. Costa's Counsellor
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            I know some people don't get a chance to update their team every week, but this is ridiculous...

    6. AK ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Aguero. Could be Lukaku.

      Don't have one, Dawson is the only one that's under 5% in my starting 11 this week

    7. Yome
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku
      Wijnaldum

    8. GoRedz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero
      Silva

    9. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

      Don't have one

    10. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane.

      Thinking about Austin instead of Kun. :O

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Uh oh

    11. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Aguero.

      In midfield - Payet?

      My defence - Moreno & Evans.

      Lukaku atm, but might switch to someone else.

      Have absolutely no differentials. COME BACK SANCHEZ

  15. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Kane ➡ Lukaku (c)

    B) Ighalo & Zouma ➡ Lukaku (c) & Targett -4

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years

      Neither. Save.

      1. Messi & fabregas

        i agree

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          This.

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

            Going into week without Lukaku is a bit terrifying

    2. President John F. Keninnsie

      B from those.

    3. Hibbo

      A.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think doing B. for -4 in insane and actually a pretty poor move but it's getting a lot of air time here.

        If I was playing solely a gw game I'd want Ighalo Lukaku Kane. A -4 including Targett is insane imo he could be out of the team as quickly as he was in it.

        Ighalo at home to the worst defence in the last 4 gws.

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  16. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kun (C)ers.... What's swaying you to go with Sergio away from home when he's notoriously better at the Etihad? Especially with Lukaku playing v Swans at home?

    Is it the guy's pedigree and explosiveness? Do you have no faith in West Ham? Expect Kun to score away from home? Is it his differential status?

    1. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if chasing captain Kun
      if leading captain Lukaku
      simple

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ah but I am neither chasing nor leading... Stuck in the middle somewhere.

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Captain Firmino then.

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years

          Then you're chasing.

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah but I'm not like 100k chasing... I'm doing ok so I don't want to take MAJOR risks anymore..

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Ok. All I mean is, if you're not leading, you're chasing.

              1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                I see your point 🙂

                1. Irish Madridista ⭐
                  • 15 Years

                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    Sort of. The other positions are kind of meaningless. Even if I agree that it is much better to finish in top100 or even top1000 than outside them, still, when I'm up there, I only think of getting higher, chasing the lead, instead of trying to protect my lead from those chasing behind me. There's no CL place available for finishing 4th in FPL.

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years

        the other way around mate

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Its the fact that Wham conceded ten shots against New C

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        *ten shots on target.

        Which is much more impressive than ten shots.

        Also, 13 shots in the box.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Makes me more hopeful of Ighalo this week too..

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Wham conceded those..

            1. Irish Madridista ⭐
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Oops! misread!

            2. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Yup, not Newcastle. They only conceded 6 shots in the box.

              1. Camp No No
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                and 3 on target, of a total of 10 shots. 10 shots conceded in total is very low, matchin the 3rd lowest average in the league.

          2. La Roja

      Only because he's the best striker in the league really. Haven't put much other thought into it.

      Could still go back to Lukaku.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This is exactly how I stand at the moment.. Captaining him due to missing out last week, went with Payet and I don't want to outsmart myself again this week...

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Payet 🙁

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yup, you could have hit the 90s... but at least you qualified for the cups 😥

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Go with gut. I feared not having /captain kun last week at home and paid the price. I don't fear him away so much..if i had both I'd easily go lukaku

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It isn't really that deep for me.

      Lukaku has looked a bit out of firm compared to early season while Aguero looks to have sharpness.

      Both good options but I'm taking the one who looks sharp.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think doing B. for -4 in insane and actually a pretty poor move but it's getting a lot of air time here.

        If I was playing solely a gw game I'd want Ighalo Lukaku Kane. A -4 including Targett is insane imo he could be out of the team as quickly as he was in it.

        Ighalo at home to the worst defence in the last 4 gws.

          Frigging reply fail to La Roja.

    6. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Another reason is Mirallas. He's very selfish and Lukaku's points suffer when he's playing. Delf = Lukaku points and i'm not sure both will play together.

    7. boombaba
      • 13 Years

      Kun

      No one else in my ML has him yet.

    What chance of Myhill playing in the football match?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A good chance.

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Play him anyway, he's hardly likely to come on for a cameo.

        1. DF
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          If I knew he was dropped I'd actually sell him. Expecting Courtois to suffer against arsenal.

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Higher than playing in the rugby match anyways..

          Nothing to serious fallen arches pain when I road run but not when I play football.

      Nope

  21. asif316uk

    A - Kolarov + Ramsey > Baines + Barkley/Firmino

    B - Kolarov + Ramsey - Ward/4.5m def + Silva

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      A with Barkley...

  22. AK ⭐

    2. The Raging Bull

      Mahrez
      Moreno

    3. Jafooli

      No sure

    So chaps some advice please: 1FT + 0.5m ITB. Apologies for the long list of options.

    Butland
    Williams, Cresswell, Nyom
    KDB, Mahrez, Payet, Ozil
    Kane, Aguero, Lukaku

    (Hennessey), Stanislas, Simpson, Souare

    A) Mahrez > Barkley or 7.3m or below
    B) Nyom > Jagielka or 5.1m or below
    C) Mahrez + Souare > Firmino + Targett -4
    D) Mahrez + Nyom > Firmino + Smith
    D) Souare > Targett
    E) Nyom > Smith
    F) Save
    G) Anything else

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          In that price range yes. Was seriously considering to bring him in but decided to safe FT

          1. Bobby_Baggio
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Tempted to save too but feel like that defence needs one more decent option

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Agreed. I would use Ft for improving defence.

              Dawson or Jags in I would suggest

              1. Bobby_Baggio

    B: Ward (TOT)
    -----------
    C: Alli (cpl)
    D: De Bryne (whm)
    I am currently playing A & C - any thoughts? Cheers!!!

      Agree with your choices

    3. Bobby_Baggio

      A and D - rpely failed below and even then i put the wrong option in! Would choose KDB over Alli this week

    4. Irish Madridista ⭐

      A and D

    KDB, Payet, Ramsey, Mahrez, Alli

    2 FT

    Shall I pull the trigger??

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years

      Yup. You should look at getting some Arsenal in at some point though...

      1. asif316uk
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Alexis in soon either downgrade lukaku or kane

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years

        At some point maybe. That's not necessarily now.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What's the attraction with Baines? Never keeps cs and barely threatens in front of goal anymore.

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years

        He got points last week.

  27. boombaba

    Got the order correct?

    Simpson Toby Moreno (Smith, Cresswell)

    1. Messi & fabregas

      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    All the best for Kolarov but I would want him to be out for atleast 4 weeks.

    Clichy for 5.3 is tempting and possible dgw coming
