    Just saw Kelleher's penalty save from Le Fee. 😆 Giving the thumbs up immediately after is absolute class

      Props to him, too, because most keepers would have moved before he took it, which is what makes the Panenka penalty work.

      I reckon if keepers just stayed still until the kick was taken they’d actually save more penalties, especially the ones hit down the middle!

        The Peter Shilton method of saving penalties. Does not work most of the time, especially against German players

          It looks like Hugo Ekitike isn't fit enough to play tomorrow...according to Conor Bradley's Fantasy Premier League team.

          The Northern Irish fullback played his free hit and has removed Ekitike from his team.

          And so did...Liverpool's Head of Physiotherapy.

              Cunha to Tavenier for GW22 worth doing?

              Then in addition:

              Timber to Gabriel in 22 as well?
              Or wait until GW23 and move Raya and Virgil to Sanchez wnd Gabriel?

                  Raya seems more likely to play their potential double gameweek which makes me lean towards keeping him over Timber.

                The worst thing about this game is that once you get bogged into knowledge about EO of all players etc, it becomes more important for highly owned players you dont own to fail, than for your own players to do well.

                Like for me, not owning Thiago and Bruno G. Its more important that they fail, than that someone I own like Cunha or Rogers scores. Makes for a really negative mentality of following the games.

                    He would have been absolute bottom when I owned him. Was atrocious GW 15-17 when I owned him and I watched every game.

                      Agree about the ownership thing. Its quite the experience owning a player you didnt captain who others have captained and hoping he blanks. They need to incentivise lower owned punts including in the captaincy

                  Thiago reminds me of Mbeumo last season. I sold after owning for several game weeks where he was complete garbage and literally didnt have a single shot in 3 game weeks. Following the sale he turned into the best asset in the game.

                  Thiago GW 15-17 against the worst sides in the league was again complete garbage. Sold him and of course he instantly turns into the best value pick in the game.
