    Expected a CS and attacking pts from Matty Cash, but on -1 atm

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      One thing for sure is he is at least extremely far forward

  23. sunzip14
    • 9 Years

    Surely Palace score at some point...

    Palace 1.14xG
    City 0.20 xG

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Since I own Donnarumma, l agree!

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      If they could finish their chances, Mateta would win golden boot and Palace would be top of the league

    Probably the most annoying part of the Wolt OG, besides the minus points, is that he will likely be heavily sold as hes been naff anyway, therefore drop in price, but ill more than likely be Free Hitting this week meaning he'll still be in my team come the next GW
