      I think that’s a bit harsh. Andy did exactly the same thing last season, when he didn’t have anywhere near the following he has now. He had said all week he was likely going to do it last minute and had his team planned. I didn’t watch the live stream but I did hear he didn’t post his team until after the deadline to ensure people couldn’t copy it which is positive.

      I saw a tweet that said he may play a late WC. In fairness his team was a bit of a mess with flags etc and I think we have all been in that position … let a -8 go through or press the WC button.

      We are all human and can’t always package our decisions up into nice pockets and sometimes we just go for it.

      He is probably not too fussed and is loving the click bait 🙂

    Reasoning - Ron's next 2 opponents (Everton and Leicester)
    conceding more goals than Rom's next two (Southampton and Brentford)

    Ron to Kaku for GW9 Norwich fixture..

    Missed the Ronaldo rumours 5 minutes before the deadline because I was eating. Didn't imagine anything reliable showing up before official team sheets were submitted

    Any chance Ronny stays on the bench? Looking at a red arrow rn.

      Depends how the game goes

      If they’re losing at half time - no way
      If it’s a draw with 60 minutes to go - no way
      If they’re more than a goal up though, he might stay there

    Ronaldo C fail. Fernandes will take the penalty again at least!
