    Thoughts turn to captaincy next GW? If you’re not on lucky Mo who are you going for?

      Going to get Haaland and cap him.

      My vc is Palmer. Could be tempted to go with him if he comes through midweek okay and the manager says he's good for the weekend.

    Who's more frustrating to own a) kudus b) rejinders

      Both I think. Spurs and City lots of attacking options of goals.

      Holding B as I don't think there is much option at that value.

        Yeh guess kudus has better alternatives

      If you bothered to check Wikipedia you would realise rejinders only getting a few goals a season. What were you expecting from him?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 6 days ago

        He got 13 goals last season

              Oh yes sorry my mistake.

                Although if you count only Europe and league it was 13

                  True. I am going to keep as hopefully can convert the chances he gets soon

    Sanchez,
    Chalobah, van de ven, reinildo
    Salah, Semenyo, Grealish, Reijnders
    Haaland, Pedro, Wood

    Dubravka, Hartman, King, Dorgu

    Swapped Johnson to Semenyo was the obvious option

    I'm guessing nothing else worth a minus 4 here.
