    That’s a double save

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 months, 14 days ago

      I remember owning Krejci and getting his goal earlier on the season

  23. Fifa las vegas
    10 months, 14 days ago

    Lammens keeping us alive 😆

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 months, 14 days ago

      Making up for the goal conceded , he should have done better

      1. Fifa las vegas
        10 months, 14 days ago

        True. But he’s still a huge improvement on these reaction saves in general

  24. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 months, 14 days ago

    Foden > Cherki, Semenyo > Bruno G or O’Reilly > 4.8 to afford Hincapíe > Gabriel?

  25. F4L
    10 months, 14 days ago

    neco williams 30 bps with 2 goals conceded. thats really impressive

  26. Ajax Hamsterdam
    10 months, 14 days ago

    Would you sell pope for Pickford ? Have enough of not keeping cs...

  27. MetallicaJack93
    10 months, 14 days ago

    Double arsenal defence still feasible with fixtures?

    For set and forget would you keep OReilly or Guehi as 3rd def? Would be getting gab in for one of them

  28. Fifa las vegas
    10 months, 14 days ago

    1. Kaneyonero
