    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

    As going with Ronaldo captain?
    Is his luck about to run out?

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Moura on the watchlist this weekend

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thing is, I'm not very interested in Spurs as an attack if Moura starts

      I want 3-4-1-2. They need creativity down the middle

      Every time I see Moura on that team sheet, my hope of a Son/Kane haul will drop

      Or, alternatively... Let Kane resume his 9.5 role and BE the creativity down the middle, like he was for Mourinho... With wingbacks benefiting the way one of them almost scored from a Kane cross vs Everton

  14. flippetyflop

    Play Livra or Raphina.

    First to 3 votes wins.

    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    those with benching headache

    I suggest you start Livra and Mbeumo as I'm benching them

    Livra stayed on my bench for the past 3 gameweeks, just saying

    hope this help

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I also have livra bench headache and changed last minute to play !

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I played Livra all those times and got his points. This is my first time benching. Take from that as you will

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Actually, I benched him last gw too

      2. H.E. Pennypacker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Livra or Vardy? Can't make me mind up but leaning towards Livra

      3. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        well done

        I started Dias ahead of Livra

        sad for me

      4. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This is a better fixture than his last 5 GWs, where he's gotten three clean sheets, an assist vs Chelsea, hit the post once in another game, scored, and created a glaring chance someone missed from 6 yards

        Those were his worse fixtures than Norwich 🙂

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Norwich new manager bounce ?

  20. Henning
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Do we think that Foden plays this gw?

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      hope he starts or rested, no cameo please

    2. BrockLanders
