    Wish Farque would bring off Rodon, so I can give him a standing ovation (from my living room)

      Yes, same thoughts
      Shame he hasn't used this string of 90 mins to get returns although he is playing well. More assisting the assister at the moment.
      No other midfielder wanting me to make a trade however

    Based on a gut feeling, decided to start Big Joe (Rodon) over Keane right at the deadline.

    Good start to the FPL weekend, which means that the rest will be horrible. #FPLisCruel

    What’s the chances of Gabriel actually not featuring this weekend, how bad was the injury during the week? Rodon first on the bench like many others, praying he comes in for Gab

      I’m praying Gabriel starts as someone who started Rodon.
      Unless Reindeer scores, and then I’ll be right with you hoping Gabriel is out
