Sane or Sterling or Silva is the question... As a City fan, here's my thoughts. Silva - played almost every minute. City have scored 22 goals and he has assisted 6 and not scored. That's not overw…

Glad to see Joselu scoring. Huge under achievement on his xG finally reverts! Non owner but xG lover.

BEST BURNLEY DEFENDER? Mee Lowton Ward Tarkowski Please don't automatically say Mee because he has traditionally been the strongest for CBI stats. Which one would you get in?

Morning all 🙂 I think GW7 offers the first strategic opportunity to use the Free Hit chip. I know this chip has been earmarked for the blank gameweeks, and I'd maintain this is still where it of…
