    So Arteta worked under Pep but he’s actually inspired by Tony Pulis.

        Gab loss of baps puts him on par with Timber, meaning both get 3 pts.

    My transfers effevtively costed me 20 pts. Took Wirtz in as part of a hit. Sold Timber in the proces. Would have brought in Wilson instead of Wirtz if I had known he was iniured and then kept Timber. But had to do the transfers friday morning before the pressers. What a joke. Only positive is that I got Ekitike as well who was my VC.

      I sold him this week for a hit to get funds to keep Joao Pedro and to get Thiago for Guiu. On dgw he got total of 3 pts and made me bench VvD 17 pts haul. This game is... classical fpl...

    This game hates me, literally every time I make a decision it punishes me in the worst way possible. Transferred out Timber this week after TC is the double and last weeks shambles and now he scores. Add that to a very long list of similar situations and I think I just need to give up tbh
