    Anyone going to take a gamble on Isak? Got Watkins and the money to upgrade, not sure he could be any worse.

      I would like to see him take the field first.

        Slot said he’s ready for 45 now and it’ll either be in the CL or next weekend.

        If it’s in the CL, surely that’s 60 at the weekend.

          Could be yeah, if he looks good next week I will certainly consider him on WC. I have Eikitie since GW1 but he may need to go soon.

    City threw Donna straight in, why the F did Amorim persist with Bayindir. De Gea saves that

    1. MJF
      10 months, 6 days ago

      Peter Schmeichel (now, at this age) is probably better.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 6 days ago

      He showed him the whole goal HAHA

    3. HadiSLIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 months, 6 days ago

      perhaps because Lemmens is NOWHERE near as established or as experienced as Donna?

    Atleast Haaland scores genuine goals unlike fluke lucky ones in 93rd minute like Salah

  24. Sun Jihai
