    Forest big chances conceded (ex. penalties) by GW since Dyche came in:

    GW9 0
    GW10 0
    GW11 1
    GW12 1
    GW13 4
    GW14 1
    GW15 1
    GW16 0
    GW17 1
    GW18 0 (HT)

    4.0m starting GK from this sounds pretty good!

    Double City defence and no Haaland or Foden. Looking like one of those to potentially climb 1 million in rankings. There's the small matter of the second half, of course.

            Haven't owned him all season. He's just too highly owned and for his price I hope to cover his points with 2 midpriced forwards. Plus it's just more fun playing the game that way IMO.

    might be a silly question but here goes

    if you're a defcon monster, and thats your primary route to points (like Anderson), do you think its better for that player to take a corner/set piece, or be on the edge of the box ready to pick up the loose ball from a clearance and get a ball recovery?
