    omfg I benched Thiaw for Keane.
    This'll be horrible.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 9 days ago

      He might not come on

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        He also might.

  2. F4L

    amad an option at 6.2?

    1. Moon Dog
        1 month, 9 days ago

        Had a disallowed goal last week. But I'm still on the fence about him though, he plays fairly wide. I own him, but he's near the top of my hit list.

        Kind of player that could explode at any moment...

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 9 days ago

          cheers

    2. Old Wulfrunian

      What a season from Moyes.

    3. The Knights Template

      Enzo/Watkins > Palmer/Kroupi Jr? Or wait til the games are finished and then ask?

        My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 9 days ago

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        It wasn’t a sitter and he wasn’t onside.

        • 9 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        • 7 Years
        1 month, 9 days ago

        Don't like this guy. What he did to Cucu was unsportsmanlike.

        Does that today, Casemiro will end his career, Roy Keane style

    7. Kaneyonero

      When the gw starts off bad, it's usually ends up being a bad gw and all your ML Rivals score millions

        • 7 Years

          Hill is the new Senesi. He's been getting a mad amount of DCs.

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            1 month, 9 days ago

        1 month, 9 days ago

        You can tell I'm well behind with these punty picks this week;

        Martinelli - 0.5% ownership
        Strand Larsen - 1% ownership
        Jose Sa - 1% ownership

      3. Capocannonieri

                1 month, 9 days ago

                Getting Enzo in for Roger’s 2 weeks ago was a huge mistake.

                1. RICICLE
                  • 3 Years
                  1 month, 9 days ago

                  Why what’s happened with Enzo?

                  1. Ignasi M
                    • 8 Years
                    1 month, 9 days ago

                    Dropping deeper to accommodate Palmer. Also not on pens because of Palmer.

                    1. MikeS
                      • 11 Years
                      1 month, 9 days ago

                      Hopefully Palmer goes off on 60 mins and Enzo pushes forward

                      • 3 Years
                      1 month, 9 days ago

                      Palmer will never grace my team again

                  1 month, 9 days ago

                  Especially with palmer playing lately

              • Supersonic_

                1 month, 9 days ago

                Genius move with Thiaw last on my bench

                1. Ignasi M
                  • 8 Years
                  1 month, 9 days ago

                  Nah, surely spurs will score and come back

              • Ignasi M
                • 8 Years
                1 month, 9 days ago

                Summerville looks so good. If he scores in this game, we have to bring him in.

                1 month, 9 days ago

                Senesi is a dud pick now. Hill has ruined him.

                1. MikeS
                  • 11 Years
                  1 month, 9 days ago

                1 month, 9 days ago

                Enzo owners complaining about him need to sell him for once and see how the experience of not owning him feels like.

                It’s slow death for non-owners where you stay hopeful for like 90 mins and then in an instant watch him get a 10 pointer. Makes you question everything in life.

                1. MikeS
                  • 11 Years
                  1 month, 9 days ago

                  I'll be selling him after Burnley anyway
