    My run of playing Ekitike when he does f all and not owning/benching when he hauls continues.

    Average over the entire season when I don't own him is about 9ppg.

    Average when I own him is about 2p. This includes captain v Burnley for blank and captain today for 1pointer

      Considering the hype and the superstar squad why one thought they were building last summer!

      Tbf me included thought Isak would dominate for them too, but it became farcical the way the whole saga dragged out.

        Isak tough injury to come back from - he'll probably have a slow start next season. will take him a while to get back to Newcastle form.
