    Sounds like a funny question but who is a better pick

    A. Thiago. Great form, on penalties, but fixtures upcoming not very good.

    B. Delap. Returning from injury, plays for a team that needs a striker. Good fixtures upcoming.

      I'm thinking of bringing in Thiago this week too. Brentford always give the better teams a good game and I'd back them to score against most of the better defences - it just always seems to go that way but it's just a ferling, an observation, i've not looked it up. Thiago's cheap and on penalties.

      Chelsea look like they miss Palmer a lot so i'm not considering any Chelsea player until he's back, not least a player who is coming back from an injury and who has hardly played for them so far.

      What do you think?

        OK, so no one's talking so I will.
        I like to bash the content creators because I want them to fail with a passion.....why?
        It's complicated, but if I am honest with myself, it's because I am jealous that some same numpties like myself are actually making a buck from this nonsense.
        I call them the blancmange tribe because they are all in the same Etonion mess as I feel it.
        I cringe actually, with some of their content being nothing more than " I don't like Hitler because he was bad" type rainbow coulered unicorn conformity massive.
        I mean it's a jealously perspective I'm coming from but if you are out there I am coming for you because essentially it's all dog turd and you know it.

          You want to make videos and stuff about this game? I'd hate doing that. Running a youtube channel is a pain in the backside as it is. But for a game like this, you need to dedicate so much time. If you give bad advice, people will whine. If you're doing bad, they will still expect you to make videos every week, maybe when you want to give up lol.

          If people can be bothered to do all that, then fair enuf, they can have whatever money they make.

          For some elite players who create content, they probably have it pretty good. But most creators are not elite and just average or slightly better.
