        Can't believe it wasn't given considering other handball pens this season

    I hope if Livramento has had a ligament injury there (seems almost guaranteed) that it's is MCL/LCL and not his ACL.

    I tore my MCL from almost the exact kind of landing, getting twisted by an aerial challenge.

    Still a ligament injury, and can still last a while, but not as severe as ACL.

    No involvement from me
    That's the score I wanted plus low ownership in the points
    Now for Grealish & KDH to tear it up tomorrow

      Not if it touched the leg first, which I assumed they ruled it as.

      Not good enough to score against Newcastle.

      Or Liverpool, Man City, Palace, Bournemouth and so on.

      Will feast though against West Ham.
