    Omg.. var what the hell.
    When does if a keeper will save it, come into a red card decision for goal scoring denial.
    Absolute joke.
    If a player is brought down as last man, and denies a goal scoring opportunity, when have they ever thought, oh, maybe the gk would have saved it!?

      I figured they were checking to see if it was on target but even then who cares that’s as blatant as you will ever get!!

    My initial plan this GW was Firmino+Traoré > DCL+Mané (-4), but the Martial injury makes things diddicult. What would you do with this team? 3.0 itb.

    McCarthy
    TAA - Fernandéz - Boly - Stephens
    Martial - Salah - Traoré
    Jiménez - Ings - Firmino
    (Henderson - Hayden - Stevens - KDB)

      I'd like a Leicester plyer for their run, but i guess you have to sell one of Martial or Traore.

        Yes, I've briefly thought of that, but Leicester's form worries me a bit. Could do Traoré+Martial to Barnes+Fernandes for a hit, but that means keeping Firmino.

            They look like alright transfers. Not being able to get Mané/dropping Firmino is an issue though.
