      Think I'm giving Murillo & Milenkovic one more week at home to West Ham. If they still show no signs of either CSs or defcons I think I need to move one on to either Munoz, Porro, Lacroix or Dorgu...

      I think I'd enjoy Porro the most. Been torturous watching Spurs without him. Owners unlucky not to get an assist yet.

        Yeah, I'm on the fence with Murillo too. 5.5 is a bit expensive for a useless defender.

        Think Marinakis might build a jail in Greece and throw Nuno in it if they even so much as concede to that West Ham side.

        And he'd be absolutely justified in doing so.

            Leaving me with my 1 pointer....

          Never understood why people wouldn't pick Aina instead for 5 mil, probably outscore the 5.5s anyway.

          As for Porro, I feel the same but when I look at his points history never scored more than 130. Too expensive when 6 mil will get you 170

          1. Moon Dog
              8 months, 1 day ago

              Williams was better for defcons than Aina. so if you go for one it's him. The 5.5m options were worth the extra in terms of value last season.

              Spurs defence has tightened up massively from last year, no?

          Anybody else getting Brennan Johnson in?! Two in two, great fixtures coming up, only 4% owned so a hell of a differential, and Spurs looking good going forward so far.

          1. Moon Dog
              8 months, 1 day ago

              I was looking at him. But Spurs seem to really want Savinho and I don't see Kudus or the central midfield changing, so surely Brennan is the one impacted. Usually comes off around 70 mins too. I dunno...

            Do I get any points for calling it spot on?

            Add to that Sels, Milenkovic & De Cuyper in those last games (so equals one point each with Beto sub), whilst H2H get Pickford 15pts off the bench lol…

            Every week I need a player off the bench, there's usually 1 and 2 pointers. When I don't, an 8 pointer be sitting in there ffs

            Hindsight, when looking for a mid to replace Palmer before the double move considered Neto, Ndoye (Forest fan) Grealish & Kudus, went Kudus 😕 Those fixtures 😉

                only been 95 mins of football, but on the basis of it, they should be getting 80+ goals this season

                • 8 Years
                8 months, 1 day ago

                Another transfer window & ejecting the highly paid Hag transfers out should work wonders
