      I'm so gutted about playing Keane over Thiaw.

      Had Thiaw in my bus team, but read various bits of content here and there; changed my mind.

      Punished with horrible variance once again, even though both teams conceded.

        This was me when I benched Reinildo for his 11 pointer.

        My benching him wasn't the issue - it was not making him 1st sub vs Burnley given Saka no show.
