    So happy I've kept Mbuemo these past GWs, been so unfortunate not to haul couple of times, finally rewarded with a return.

    Would you rather the bonus points on LiveFPL count from kick-off or from the 60th minute?

      Well actually - it's going to start counting from 45th minute or from when the first goal is scored. Just a heads-up...

      For someone with that price tag you surely need to see some double digit hauls before it’s even worth considering. Not a single one so far this season.

    Thoughts on this WC team? Dont think Sanchez is worth the extra and cant afford him anyways

    Roefs/Dubravka
    Gabriel Timber Muñoz Senesi 4.0
    Saka Sarr Ndiaye Semenyo 4.4
    Haaland Mateta Woltemade

    You could say its a weak bench but my first bench option is a proper rotating player like Senesi or Ndiaye
