    Did Weghorts and KWP to Laporte and Nketiah. Best transfers of the season!

      Well done. I'm somehow still stuck with Broja and Weggy.

    How would you approach last 2 weeks if you were 120 plus ahead in ML and sitting at 38K

    A Minimise hits and protect position so finish around 40 K
    B Splash the hits and either drop rank considerably or possibly get up to 25-30K

      I certainly wouldn't be playing conservatively. I'd say have fun with it.

      If you play conservatively with that kind of lead, you don’t deserve that kind of lead 😎

    Nightmare for new Dias owners that thought he'd be the safer pick due to a possible niggle that Laporte picked up in the UCL

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I’ve got him. I’m hoping he gets some attacking returns

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Does not seem to be much involved upfront...hope he is not a waste of a transfer.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Thinking he might have tweaked something stretching when getting the assist.

  11. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    ASM to score 90' and 90'+2

  12. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    If you don't like getting randomly kicked in the balls every now and then, this game might not be for you

  13. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years

    Never a foul by Cancelo, that! Ridiculous decision.

    1. Paqueta Rice

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
