          That's what it sounded like

          Smashed straight in at the back post

    Grealish.

    He didn't do what he would have done at Man City and cut back onto his right foot. He went towards the line and crossed it.

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 24 days ago

    Yes Ndiaye! Finally there is luck for me 😛

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 24 days ago

      He looks great

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        Almost transferred him out for Reijnders

  5. Moon Dog
      7 months, 24 days ago

      It's so nice to see Grealish let off the leash

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        I agree, it will be great to see him now that he is not Pepped anymore.

    • RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 24 days ago

      Of course it’s Ndiaye

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        A lovely sell for me on wildcard to go with João Pedro

      2. nonaynever
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        nice double for Ndiaye....last goal at Goodison & first at Hill Dickinson

    • Thanos
      • 4 Years

      Need KDH to score. Having an awful week.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        He playing deep

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 24 days ago

          He's playing at 10 .
          He may drop deep later on if Alacaraz comes on .

      2. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        He's a good signing .
        Assisted the assister Grealish .

      3. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        he looks sharp. playing 10.

      4. Moon Dog
          7 months, 24 days ago

          I want him to get defcons and assist from a set-piece.

          Worrying that Garner took a corner though...

      5. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        Anyone know what happened to Rutter yet?

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 24 days ago

          injury yesterday in training, more precautionary hurzeler said

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            7 months, 24 days ago

            Absolute joke isn’t it, ah well, Dioud stepping in with his whooping 3 point haul

            1. BIGREDDOG
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 24 days ago

              Better than a kick in the nuts

              1. Flynny
                • 11 Years
                7 months, 24 days ago

                Prob a sell tho. As no idea if he starts next week even if fit....

                Kudus, ndiaye decent options with possible Watkins downgraded

                1. RICICLE
                  • 3 Years
                  7 months, 24 days ago

                  Indeed, I’ll be getting rid.
                  So that’s Rutter, Palmer, Wirtz & Watkins to be concerned about.

                  1. Flynny
                    • 11 Years
                    7 months, 24 days ago

                    Palmer I think I'll keep and bench if needs be

                    Wirtz hopefully a keep too

      6. Waynoo
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        back to pre Pep Grealish

        Devenny looking great.

      9. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        Ndiaye really has great technical ability with the ball at his feet. Would be nice to see him at a more attacking, front foot team.

      10. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        Manchester United in the bottom 3, as it stands.

      15. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 24 days ago

        I need Milenkovic to score twice, earn CS, max naps and def cons.
        This would save my game week.

        1. Free Hat
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 24 days ago

          Sounds reasonable

        2. DeSelby
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 24 days ago

          I need a De Cuyper hat trick and also Wood, Sels, Milenkovic, and Williams red cards.
