So, we’re now one Gameweek into the new season and it couldn’t have gone much better with a schedule packed full of goals – 34 of them in all, to be precise. 

That in turn led to some huge Fantasy Premier League (FPL) scores, but as focus now shifts to Gameweek 2, here are some observations from the opening weekend that I found interesting and my transfer/team plans for the weekend.

KINGS OF THE CROSSES

Everton took to the wings against Southampton on Saturday afternoon, sending in crosses from all angles.

Lucas Digne (£5.5m) and Andros Townsend (£5.5m) supplied most of them, with the aim of getting the ball into the box as quickly as possible in an attempt to capitalise on Dominic Calvert-Lewin‘s (£8.0m) power in the air.

Everton’s final-third passes (successful in green) v Southampton

Calvert-Lewin’s total of five shots in the box (including three headers) wasn’t beaten by any other forward in Gameweek 1, which bodes well for his prospects ahead of a kind run of fixtures against Leeds United (a), Brighton and Hove Albion (a), Burnley (h), Aston Villa (a) and Norwich City (h).

    Play sideways?

      Hahaha

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Always play up

  2. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    should I be worried for no CIty as they are facing Norwich next GW?

    Sanchez
    Ayling TAA Shaw Amartey Obam
    Salah(C) Bruno Greenwood Jota Bissoma
    Antonio Ings Toney

    save or Jota to City mid?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you have money itb, go Jota to Grealish? If not, save

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        0 itb

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would save. Quite likely the mid you pick doesn't start.

    3. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking only Grealish and Diaz are somewhat highly owned in city so one of my midfielders/defenders need to match their score. Not that worried tbh.

    Raphinha to benrahma or keep ?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Keep

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keep

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am keeping.

    God I have missed spending hours of my day reading through comments on this website.

    Better combo need 2 decised next move werner/(mahrez nextweek)

    A)Lukaku/son
    B) dcl/ bruno

    1. RichRover
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B, maybe A from gw6/7

  6. Doctor Evil

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Pogba after getting him in before price rise as made my team disjointed.

    What you think now?

    Sanchez Steele

    Cresswell Shaw Tsmi/ White Livra

    Raphinha Salah Bruno Mbeumo / Brownhill

    Antonio Lukaku DCL

    1. I Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What?

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What?

      2. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        On WC

    2. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very strong for a Lukaku/ Salah/ Bruno team - also like the DCL choice. Obviously bench is relatively weak and defence is a potential accident waiting to happen but that’s the gamble. I like.

      He who dares Rodney…

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That’s it pal, I was going too silly with Pogba instead of Raphinha so put Raphinha in for the extra mil to spend

    3. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I Don't like the White pick much

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who would your 4.5 be? The way I see it Tsim will play until about gw4 and that’s when arsenals fixture gets good

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ayling?

        2. BOATIES FC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ayling I guess. Arsenal looked very fragile at the back.

          1. Doctor Evil
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            What and Leeds didn’t? 5-1 and I’m a Leeds fan

    4. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Go Son over lukaku and upgrade defence

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No chance Lukaku is my differential. He’s what nobody will have this weekend and could blow that arsenal defence out of the water.

        Son did well but without Kane will suffer

        1. tokara
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Luk is not a big game player

    5. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So you sold Pogba after he had risen to 7.6? If you did that, why wouldn't you wait for him to rise again to 7.7 and make 0.1 on it?

      1. FPL Pillars

        The king of kneejerk

        1. Doctor Evil

          And of winning my cash leagues

          1. tokara
            • 12 Years

            Lol joke

      2. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He won’t by Saturday

      3. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Won’t happen before Saturday

    6. No Professionals

      So you made no money on pogba

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that’s right, on wildcard so brought him in, realised he won’t rise twice before gameweek
        Start so decided to make sure my team was solid

  7. JPSpurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ings to DCL is a pointless sideways move? Just trying to find a way to break my mini league template…

    1. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      DCL all day for me

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Surely not immediately before Newcastle at home

    3. Aztec Kamara
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would give Ings the next match at least. Def not worth a transfer at this point. You have 37 weeks to break the template plenty of time.

    4. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd give Ings the next two. We should do better against Newcastle with Watkins back and Bailey in from the start.

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What about McGinn as a cheeky punt AV?

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm, depends on the formation, if we play a 4-4-2 I fear he'll be too deep.

      2. Well you know, Triffic
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You think Buendia will start?

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, I think he will.

    5. Carlton P
      • 10 Years

      Gw4 matey like everyone else

    6. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ings has two home games, first against leaky Newcastle and Brentford after that. I don't think he can be sold now.

      1. tokara
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This

    7. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d rather wait 2 weeks and go for Bamford instead. Leeds fixtures 3-10 are fantastic.

  8. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Lukaku + 5.5 midfielder (-4)
    B) Ings + Mahrez

    1. Doctor Evil
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. JPSpurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Already have Mbeumo, which other 5.5 midfielder should I get in?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Townsend, Gray, ESR

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      You already got Ings + Mahrez? If so then stick

  9. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jota to Greenwood or chill?

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

      I’d give Jota another week (or 2 max)

    2. No Professionals
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chill imo

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would make the switch

    4. FPL Joker
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jota scored and started

  10. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks, Tom. Good read as always. Would you mind sharing your own rationale for Mo cap (vs Bruno) - the case for either/both appearing strong this week.

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers mate, re captaincy, I'm on Captain Sensible duties this week so will include some thoughts there. I also did a short video with Joe today, which talked about Burnley's left-side, home advantage etc. Pretty sure it's linked on the home page.

      1. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Obliged!

  11. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo's injury could well push me to make a transfer, not ideal. Would you?
    A. Gundo > Greenwood/Harrison
    B. Play ESR (CHE)
    C. Play Ayling (EVE)

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Reply fail below.

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A, Greenwood. Unless you need to go fit a 6 to upgrade elsewhere

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sarr Mbeumo Townsend Bergwijn Harrison are in my list but feeling overthinking whilst Greenwood is available to grab

    3. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I did Gundo > Benrahma. Didn't make sense to go for Greenwood who would need to be transferred out by GW 4/5 when I'm planning to save some FTs to do a mini WC around then.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If Greenwood made GW2-4 that's good enough. Benrahma may need to go as well GW5 MUN-WHU.

        1. Mo Mané No Problems
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough but I don't mind holding Benrahma for GW5 hard fixture as he looks to be a steal for the long term. Can't say that for Greenwood and too much competition for the front positions at ManU with Martial, Cavani coming back and Pogba possibly at LW.

  12. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A with Greenwood looks fine. Or C.
    I am playing Ayling myself, but don’t have the luxury of bringing in Greenie with FT.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ta, have you made another transfer then?

      1. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No. I am in the highly unusual (for me) situation of being satisfied with my first week score, so saving. But I would need 2 transfers to get Mason. He does look a good player to have atm, though.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Ok, I would not make transfer myself unless injury

          1. Boxwoods
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Second fail in one thread. Never had this problem before! Good luck!

  13. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I wonder why Mr Freeman thinks Leeds have “ongoing set play issues?”
    If he watched the last ten games of last season there was clearly a marked improvement.
    Besides, none of the goals v Man U came from set plays. In fact one of the positives from the game was Meslier’s confidence in dealing with crosses.

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, improved for sure, and the Meslier observation is a good one, but they still don't fill me with much confidence.

  14. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Fair play. It's not really a "luxury" for you, is it? I'd wait as long as I could in your shoes (*might* get positive news on Gundo, etc.), but might be tempted to bring in Greenwood before the deadline.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers for the replies - will just watch the price if both or either looks risky will pull the trigger

  15. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I have Havertz and Gundo and both are looking dodgy for the starting XI,

    Any suggestions for two replacements and -4 hit -16M to spend

    Already got Salah and Son in mid, but can't bring in Jota due to 2x Liverpool defenders

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you have plans to get Lukaku long term, there are some good value midfielders to downgrade to.

  16. jai1212
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A. Keep Mount (Havertz + Lukaku makes him better)
    B. Get Torres (Attack the fixtures but rotation risk)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mount will likely play, Torres who knows. Mount could do well v ARS btw. If you're taking risk for NOR(H) by all means, I wouldn't.

  17. Atimis
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t really decide on a potential Gundo replacement.

    Mostly thinking about Greenwood vs Benrahma, also have Spurs mids and Sarr on the list.

    Should I just take an advantage of SOU game and pick Greenwood?

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Greenwood is the standout pick

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think greenwood looks the best to go with but with players coming back it is another move you might have to make to get him out in a couple of weeks time

      Still looks the best bet right now

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I decided to try casual punt approach and went for Pogba. The logic being that when in form like this he can be streaky asset (remember when OGS came) anf if he does well next week, his price will rocket. Greenwood is going to be game time risk quite soon.

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn’t he on pens last time though?

      2. Atimis
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I just think that Pogba will have to play deeper sooner or later and the front will be Cavani, Rash, Green, Bruno.

        1. RichieW
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sancho

    5. Rossendale Rover
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds logical replacement after his performance after the Leeds game, but do you not think Sancho will replace Greenwood? I do. I’ve got Gundogan too, but holding out until Friday to see how he recovers. I don’t want to take him out if there’s a slim chance he could play.

      1. Atimis
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Eeeemmm you think James will play? Or what?

        1. RichieW
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed, Sancho Bruno Pogba as 3 behind Greenwood

  18. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Barnes -> Greenwood?

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same spot, might just go for it. I need to be more aggressive in my usually template/reserved wat

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m toying with Benny or Sarr?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sarr was good, but I'm not certain about timing with his next two fixtures.

      2. Hits from the Bong
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ben

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you believe Greenwood will beat Barnes in the next 3-4 GWs (including their minutes) then go for it

    4. Hits from the Bong
      • 8 Years

        Thats all fine. But they should give us the planner and then do that!

      Sorry to hear that mate, I'll raise it now.

    Should I get rid of Havertz or will he start?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He has to go, but depends on your team whether now or next week.

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        For Grealish or Greenwood?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Greenwood over Grealish imo, but this advice worth zilch. I'd like to see Grealish getting returns, MCI had very poor start last season and this doesn't look any different. And even if and when Grealish gets fouled a lot, he is getting "fantasy AA":s from fk:s.

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 16 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I think i'll do Grealish now and Greenwood if Gundo doesn't recover - Thanks

          And I personally went for Pogba (against my own advice) to catch possible double rise since I expect to need that .1 pretty soon.

        Plan to ship toney out for a cheap watford striker to have enough cash for greenwood to son

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If I had Toney I would take -4 and upgrade him now also. But since 3rd fwd is Perica, I couldn't.

    3. Khark
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The one thing i would say is above absolutely anything is ... don't chase price rises and get players in just because they're going to go up - if you're genuinely interested in Benrahma then absolutely, go for it - if not, look at all possibly Gundogan replacements, some real gems. I'm not sure Ben is the option IF Jesse goes back to the hammers. I'd maybe sway of Mbeumo just for now as you have Toney, lets get some more Information on him and not just look at one weeks of distorted data (first game in the prem, brentford psyched for the game ect)

      1. footballfreak
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just wish gundo didnt injure himself my initial plan was to go to gw2 to do transfers and see more about the players

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          It's unfortunate sometimes. Especially when you had him for Norwich game. Willock is one to watch also.

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Benrahma looks like a solid option long term

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Only before international duties start to dent them. For me he would be medium term option and having triple Whu is something that I consider less optimal, especially for GW4 vs MU.

    2. Sandy Ravage

      Nice. I'd play Reguilon

        Thanks. Who would you leave out ?

      No Salah so start again

  24. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL

    Any Norwich supporters think Brandon Williams gets a starting spot?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not a norwich fan but on their forums their expecting him to compete for a spot rather than be given it

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 11 Years

        Thanks Neves!

    2. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      If Livramento starts again this coming weekend, I may actually let myself stop thinking about Brandon Williams. I've had that itch on my brain for the last six weeks.

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 11 Years

        That profile name though! Pure gold my friend!

  25. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play 1 of;

    a) Toney
    b) Tsimikas

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      tricky one. I'd back toney to score vs palace and if in doubt, play the forward

      1. estheblessed
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  26. Neves say Neves
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    am I right in thinking that Gundogan is pretty much guaranteed to drop in price before gw2 starts? If I bench gundo I will bring dunk off the bench so I deftly don't need to sell but I don't want to take the price drop either...

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      he may be fit to start GW2

    2. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Manchester Evening News reporting that things don't look so bad and that he's not yet ruled out for the coming weekend (more tests coming). I don't know if that price drop is going to happen, but he's looking a risky proposition for this weekend even if they say he's good to go.

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ok thanks pal, I'm fine with benching him. having 2ft for gw3 is so strong

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I was considering to have him for Norwich game, so I would have sold him hoping to be able to save ft next week. Having more money and two ft:s after GW3 isn't bad either, especially for Avl asset owner.

  27. Sarrlah

    What do we know of Amartey any chance hes starting?

    1. No Professionals
      • 9 Years

      Maybe if the play 3 at the back

    2. FPL Pillars

      His days are numbered

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years

      Made 2/3 errors leading to big chances last game. He’s not got long

  28. Khark

    Is Kane at Man City more essential than Salah and Bruno ?

    1. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      not to me

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    3. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

      Do I need to read the news?

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      No but Lukaku at Chelsea might be

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Having all four big hitters at the same time is going to be impossible. Having three is going to be difficult unless we find very good value players and I have doubts about it. Antonio, Wilson, Ings, DCL for example all scored. Vardy may improve and Son isn't cheap either.

  29. Qaiss
    • 10 Years

    Arsenal set to sign Odegaard for €35m according to Ornstein.

    Very decent signing at a decent price. Maybe our season won’t be a mess after all.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What happens to ESR? Or whose place is at risk?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ESR maybe plays on the left or they rotate. Glad we’ve signed him cause ESR needs some support, can’t just rely only on him for the season. I was even surprised how soon he was given the number 10 shirt.

    2. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't seem like a luxury attacker who didn't exactly light up the league last season will make a big difference.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Only played for 13/14 games I believe. And since he joined, we were 3rd in the league during the second half of the season. Not that I think Arsenal have any chance of finishing 3rd this season though. Only 22 years old and £29m is a decent fee.

      Ah nice signing that, big fan of Odegaard.

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Was a little jealous when Villa signed Buendia, so glad we’ve at least signed an attacking midfielder. Much needed.

  30. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 12 Years

    Would you rather have Havertz or Buendia on a draft team?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What's a draft team?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Anywat , think that Buendia is a tad over-hyped. Had plenty of times to prove himself a mint asset when Norwich were doig their Canary chirping in the division before. You could argue he plays for a better team now but from what I've seen that's contentious.
        Havertz.

    2. RichieW
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Buendia
