          He's playing 90mins every week and only blanked due to an unbelievable save from the keeper (+Haaland blanking his other shot!).

      I looked up & saw Haaland running with his arms outstretched
      I thought he had scored

    Tripled on City, like many others I presume, but looking at Reijnders, who took a lot of prising out of my team a few weeks back, and Cherki, and thinking can I really, really take out Foden for either of them?
    Could this be the beginning of the Foden slump?

    It's bound to happen. it always does. It's just being awake when it does.

      Got foden last week after all his hauls! (other fires to put out, lack of funds , transfers initially stopped me( nothing so far!
