    Ederson
    Mendy Shaw Robertson Alonso
    Mkhi Mane Richarlison
    Auba Aguero Zaha
    Hamer Neves Stephens AWB!

    I haven't seen or heard any further news on Shaw, is there any chance he could play / stay in long term?

    Thinking of swapping to TAA?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Go TAA

    2. Dosh
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If you're on wildcard then defo go TAA

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Every chance he could play, probably not stay in long term though. TAA is less risky imo

  14. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    In all seriousness, is there a source for news on Bilva?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
