    Great. Benched timber after he'd been rubbish for ages and it was looking like a good decision

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      27 days, 11 hours ago

      To be fair, it’s hardly a monster haul.
      We need MORE!

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      27 days, 11 hours ago

      He didn’t do anything good to get the assist

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      27 days, 11 hours ago

      So did I... Starting Gabriel over him was a huge mistake.

    • 12 Years

    Finally we get a Timber assist 😆

    If arsenal are serious about winning how league, they need to score two more to give them a buffer because I can see spurs score again

  10. Nomar

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      27 days, 11 hours ago

      That's ok if they were benched for VVD and NOR 😛

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        27 days, 11 hours ago

        They were benched for Scott and Mukiele, smh

  12. DL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    27 days, 11 hours ago

    Just when I benched Timber for the first time in months.

    Not sure I've ever had a phase like this in the second half of the season - when things should be more "settled" - when it feels like literally NOTHING is working.

    Chill all you Timber sellers/benchers… an assist was only 3points last time I checked!
    If he gets more returns, let’s hear all about your pain. But until then… 😉

      Anderson 4 pts on the bench, Timber 4 pts soon behind him.
