Scout Notes

Doherty’s perfect week, Jimenez on bench duty and Rondon impresses

Our latest Scout Notes article rounds up all the goals, assists, Fantasy talking points and manager quotes from Sunday’s only Premier League fixture.

Wolverhampton Wanderers followed up their midweek win over Chelsea with a last-ditch victory over ten-man Newcastle United, with – who else – Matt Doherty popping up to hand his side another three points.

Newcastle United 1-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers

  • Goals: Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) | Diogo Jota (£5.9m), Matt Doherty (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Salomon Rondon (£5.8m) | Helder Costa (£4.8m), Diogo Jota

Wolves are one of only two Premier League clubs without a clean sheet in the last eight Gameweeks, but that would scarcely seem to matter with regards to the appeal of Matt Doherty (£5.0m).

While the days of a Wolves defensive double-up are – for now – a thing of the past and the ownerships of Ryan Bennett (£4.2m) and Rui Patricio (£4.6m) slowly ebb away, Doherty’s meteoric rise from unproven Premier League rookie to the second-best value-for-money FPL player of 2018/19 (averaging 14.80 points per million spent, narrowly behind Andrew Robertson’s 14.84) continues unabated.

The Irish wing-back has gained over 1.1 million new owners since Gameweek 1 yet it is somewhat surprising that Doherty still only features in fewer than one in five FPL squads – the abundance of thriving mid-price/premium defensive options this season plus Wolves’ recent woes at the back perhaps accounting for that.

Doherty left it late on Sunday to register his third attacking return in as many games, nodding in the visitors’ winner in stoppage time after what had been a frustrating afternoon for those Fantasy managers who owned the West Midlands’ clubs most popular FPL assets.

Wolves’ defenders lost their clean sheet with less than a quarter of the match played, while Raul Jimenez (£6.1m) – the third-most-bought player of Gameweek 16 – was named only as a substitute and emerged from the bench with half an hour remaining for a dreaded “one-pointer”.

Doherty began the match in fairly restrained manner but came into the match slowly but surely, going on to register more touches in the final third than any other player on show at St. James’ Park.

All three of his efforts on goal came in the final half an hour, meanwhile, with DeAndre Yedlin‘s (£4.5m) dismissal on 56 minutes perhaps a contributing factor in his increasing prominence in the Newcastle box.

Doherty had headed over from a corner and seen a curling shot palmed away by Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) before his last-gasp winner, which came after Diogo Jota‘s (£5.9m) shot had been parried into his path following a lightning-quick breakaway.

The last half an hour was a curious affair, as ten-man Newcastle took the game to their visitors and Nuno Espirito Santo’s troops seemed content to hit the Magpies on the counter-attack.

The Wolves boss acknowledged that his side had been perhaps fortunate to claim all three points:

I think we didn’t do the best of performances.

In the second half, everything changes with the red card of Newcastle, we control the game. And we had more possession.

Trying to find a way is not so easy to unblock a team with one man less. We were lucky in the end, we had chances before, but in the last minute to get a second ball from the goalkeeper. We were lucky, but happy of course.

Jimenez posed more of a threat in half an hour than the lively but wasteful Adama Traore (£5.3m) did in his hour-long showing and the Mexican striker came within inches of scoring his fifth goal of the season with a rasping effort that bounced down off the underside of Dubravka’s bar and out again.

While his owners will rue this one-point return, Jimenez remains an excellent option in the budget strikers’ bracket: in the last four Gameweeks, no FPL forward has recorded more attempts on goal or shots in the box than the Mexico international.

Sunday was a reminder to Santo that, as profligate as Jimenez can be regarding goal conversion, he remains by far Wolves’ biggest attacking threat in attack – and Traore is certainly no suitable deputy as a “number nine”.

Jota is slowly adapting to life in the Premier League, too, after his early-season struggles saw him drop £0.6m in price in FPL – no player has suffered more a price fall in 2018/19 to date.

It could well be that playing with a genuine left-footer behind him in Ruben Vinagre (£4.3m) is proving beneficial, with the previous incumbent in the left wing-back slot, Jonny (£4.3m), perhaps having a detrimental effect on Jota given the Spanish defender’s tendency to drift inside onto his stronger foot and into the same dangerous areas that the midfielder ought to have been occupying.

Vinagre is offering more width and entering the opposition penalty box much less often than Jonny was, and as a result, Jota’s average number of touches in the area has increased.

Last season’s top scorer volleyed Wolves in front after being picked out by Helder Costa (£4.8m) and it was from Jota’s parried shot that Doherty headed into an empty net in the final minutes of the match.

Another budget asset to catch the eye in attack was Newcastle’s Salomon Rondon (£5.8m).

The Venezuelan striker was a real presence up front for the Magpies in the first half especially and was inches away from a goal of his own when his 22nd-minute free-kick crashed against Rui Patricio‘s (£4.6m) crossbar – Rondon’s owners at least getting a consolation assist when the on-loan West Brom forward picked up the loose ball and crossed for the much-improved Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) to nod in.

No other player had as many attempts on goal in this match and, in the last six Gameweeks, no FPL asset has registered as many attempts on goal or shots in the box than the Newcastle target-man.

Rafael Benitez had matched Wolves in a 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 for this match, with Yedlin and Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) deployed as wing-backs as they had been at Turf Moor two weeks ago.

Yedlin was moved to centre-back after half-time as Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) was withdrawn and it was from this alien position that the American committed the professional foul on Jota that led to his dismissal.

Benitez was incandescent at full-time regarding that sending off and an alleged elbow by Willy Boly (£4.6m) on Perez later in the match:

The ball was far away and he was close enough to see it was not a clear chance. He [Jota] was pulling him and he [Yedlin] was pulling him – but I don’t want to talk about that as it’s so obvious. I think the team was doing well enough to win the game – it’s very difficult in these situations.

So if you see the incidents today. It’s so obvious – the red card and the elbow in the face of Ayoze Perez. We need the VAR right now.

Newcastle United XI (3-4-2-1): Dubravka; Lascelles, Fernandez (Manquillo 45′), Clark; Yedlin, Diame, Ki, Ritchie; Atsu (Kenedy 88′), Perez; Rondon (Joselu 85′).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Saiss (Jiminez 59′), Neves, Vinagre; Costa (Moutinho 75′), Jota; Traore (Gibbs-White 59′).

    The Alonso criticism any time he doesn't get double figures always reminds me of the Monty Python scene from Life of Brian - What have the Romans Ever Done For Us? Its basically '' Yeah, but what has Alonso done LATELY''..

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Haha

    2. Gommy

      Agreed.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well he has scored 14 goal in 80 games...

      Ok, but what else? He’s soooo expensive!

      14 assists?

      Ok so he has goals and assists, but there are cheaper defenders!

      Well he also has 36 clean sheets?

      Ok so goals, assists, cleansheets...

      He also has 40 baps

      Yes but what has he done for me LATELY?!

        your favorite subject must be history 😉

          I certainly am 🙂 this particular history lesson is about the best defender in FPL history

      Haha, agreed.

    5. mysteryDave
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Watching the games though I can see why as coach/manager you would want to curb his attacking instincts. He isn't the fastest player and he seems to get caught out of position defensively quite often.

      He is still part of one of (the?) best defences in the league but Luiz and Azpelicueta are beating him on form at the moment so look like better options to cover Chelsea defence.

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years

        this

      2. Predator
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Alonso more attacking though

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That’s nothing new though - as FPL managers what we are interested in is his FPL points & points potential.

        The last 10 games he has been very unlucky with attacking returns, he easily could have a lot more than those two assists, even with Sarri having reigned him in a bit. Just a few spring to mind from the eye test:

        Man Utd - at back post for Rudiger goal
        West Ham - near post header from Haz corner at the end
        Everton - two great Pickford saves + hit post
        Man City -following up luz header at back post
        Plus the countless other crosses he’s put in, and share of DFK’s

        Attacking returns are always there with him, it’s just part of his game

        1. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I don't think he's been particularly unlucky lately. He has not pushed as much forward in the last 4-6 matches, stats also show that. Nevertheless I think he could easily get some attacking returns during the good run of fixtures which Chelsea have ahead.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Even in his last 4-6 games he has 3 cleansheets, an Assist and 3 baps, hard to be critical of that for a defender. And in that spell he was definitely unlucky not to get attacking returns v Everton at a minimum imo.

            But Alonso isn’t about 4-6 games, he’s about buy and hold and ridiculous points for his price.

            His value is off the charts, but it is comical to see the cycle repeat itself time after time after time... sellers are going to get burned, as they always do.

            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Every cross is a potential assist 😉

              he is an awful crosser

                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                But every cross is a potential assist. Only Hazard & Wilson have more than him this season.

            5 years, 3 months ago

            Out of curiosity checked defender stats in last 4 GW's for crosses/ cross completion. : -D Some interesting stats for Alonso there

      4. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Take out Alonso’s purple patch from GW1 to GW4 and compare him in the Members Area from GW5 to GW16 his stats against his fellow Chelsea defenders, Laporte, Robbo etc ... you will be quite surprised by the outcome ... the man is a ticking ‘brace’ time bomb 🙂

    6. LSK

      Lol brilliant

    opinions on this team on a wildcard ?

    Fabianski - Foster
    David Luiz - Doherty - Robertson - Chambers - Wan Bissaka
    Snodgrass - Salah - Richarlison - Eriksen - Sterling
    Kamara - Chicharito - Aubameyang

    1. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks really good, some nice differentials in there. I think Son is a much safer bet than Eriksen at the moment though.

  3. mike09
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Patricio
    Alonso - Robbo - Laporte
    Sterling - Hazard - Martial - Richa - F.Anderson
    Kane - Wilson

    4.0 - AWB - Bennett - Kamara

    1 FT 0.0 ITB.

    Good to go and save FT or anything urgent?

  4. DAZZ
    • 9 Years

    Who’s going Kaneless and what are your reasons?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I am, can't afford.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Moi, out of a promise to myself never to get him again (broke that promise a few weeks back when I brought him in for a few blanks). I'm running with 3 cheap/cheapish strikers.

    3. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Would be insane. I expect atleast a brace from Kane.

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not me

    5. LSK
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Me. I’m expecting a few hauls in the coming weeks but I think my players - Salah and Sterling - will beat him long term and Auba has a chance of matching him short term. In an ideal world I’d have brought him in when I took Aguero out 2 gameweeks who, but I’m happy with my team and didn’t want to downgrade anybody to afford him so I went for Auba.

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        2 gameweeks ago*

    6. CROCosta
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      me as well, i think alli+lacazette will outscore kane+snodgrass in the next 6 weeks and since my transfers are tight and already planned up front for next 2 weeks do not have any room to go for one week punt kane captain (but if i had i would for sure go for it)

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If Wilson is fit would you do Brooks to Snodgrass(have Anderson)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yes

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Holmes 🙂

  6. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    When is the gw 17 captain poll coming up?

    I expect atleast 70% votes on Kane.

  7. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Does anyone have a worse goalkeeper record than me this season?

    I'm on my third stopper already having started with DDG before switching to Mat Ryan and then drafting in Rui Patricio on wildcard. Apart from Mat Ryan's 9-point haul against West Ham in GW8, I haven't recorded a single clean sheet this season which is appalling and surely costing my OR.

    Tempted to switch again this week to Lloris, but worried I'm burning too many free transfers on the GK position. My other option would be to remove non-playing David Button for someone like Fabianski or Hennessey and rotate with Rui P, but again this feels like a bit of a wasted transfer.

    Any advice on choosing the right goalkeeper?

    1. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Gk selections are either hit or miss..

      See De Gea ... who would have thought only 2/3 Cleanie when he had like 20 cleanie last season.

      The most you can do is invest very little on Goalie and use that extra funds somewhere ... benches and all .

      Hope that helps 🙂

      1. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I would suggest you to wait for next month WC .. at that time transfer it ..

        Unless Patricio is dropping and your choice of Goalie is rising then maybe get him , if you dont have any other concerns

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Get Alisson or Ederson

    3. mysteryDave
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It shouldn't be hard. Look for a strong defence and a good run of fixtures.
      I suggest Hennessey.
      I prefer a couple of 4.5m that can rotate when needed. (Costs £9m v £10.5+ for a set and forget premium with 4.0 bench)

    4. Bend It like Trippier
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well for me about the GK's position there are 2ways only..
      -Allison/Ederson (exp ones but never change)
      - 4.5-5.0 but with some changes depending on the fxs during the season..
      Personally I like Ederson..
      For most of the people he's too expensive for GK but for me he's a player with less than 6m,plays in a team that doesn't concede a lot and ! is always in the starting 11 ! So no worries for a Man.City
      player is smth for me.. 🙂

      1. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I think Ederson might be the way to go. I have Laporte at the moment and they offer the same thing really, but Ederson is cheaper. Will then downgrade Laporte to Digne when Everton's fixtures clear up in GW19.

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Unlucky really. Just checked mine, Hennessey gw1-9 3cs 1penalty save, Lössl 10-16 2cs.

    6. CROCosta
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      thats the reason i went with ederson from md1 and have not changed. it does limit my city players to 2 throughout the season but at least i do not have to think about rotating gks or wasting transfers when fixture swing for good 4.5 options. 1m extra best invested and it can be easily subsituted in cheaper defensive options. fabianski and patricio are not good set and forget options for the whole season - only ederson and allison are!

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        your ederson have only 11 pts more than my my 4.5m keeper

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      maybe me overall 46 pts from 16 gws

  8. avfc82
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tough week... 39 pts with Digne to play. No Salah (removed on WC a couple of weeks ago) has hit quite a few very, very hard. Team looks good for this week though with 2 free transfers, onwards and upwards.

    1. mysteryDave
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Tough but having Kane & Aubameyang plus what looks like the entire City midfield has to come with sacrifice. Your team looks good. I am jealous of your front line.

      I am sure with those premium players you will make up some ground over next couple of GW.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate. Yep 100%, I was riding high when I played the WC and knew the dangers of taking out Salah, Alonso, Robertson etc. Triple City midfield will hopefully pay off over the forthcoming weeks, I watched the Chelsea game and all 3 could have got attacking returns which gives me confidence.

    2. gribude
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm on WC and my idea was to get citeh mid trio (with sterling) and w/o Salah but now after Mo's hatrick I can't find cohones for that...

      1. avfc82

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Yep taking out Mo now would be very, very hard.

    if he plays well, scores or assists, I may - MAY - bench boost this week.

      I'm scouting him to play him in case Wilson is out rather than Selling Wilson

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldnt mind bench boosting in a single gameweek, but advice you not to do it in the next month. Almost impossible to get 15 players with the amount of rotation, you basicly get 2 players from your bench anyway.

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with this

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed - I was thinking of doing it midweek when Wolves played Chelsea as I had a good feeling that the Wolves players I had might do well (given they had previous good form against tough opposition)

        Indeed they did, but I had 2 players benched so I got Doherty points and only missed out on Jiminez points. Which is only the standard value I'd get of a bench boost if everyone did nothing.

    1FT and 0. 3ITB - any suggestions? Want to get Auba in but not really possible without my WC or a - 8

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Save

    2. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Just do Arnie to someone else and stick to the great team

    Fabianski
    Doherty Wan-B TAA Alonso
    Sterling Eriksen Ricky Sané
    Wilson Auba

    Hamer - Billing Digne Arnie*

    1 FT, 2.2 itb

    Should I get Kane in or just transfer Arnie out. I can get Kane in for a -4 if I sell Eriksen.

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      i think you need kane
      the obviuos kaptain next week 🙂

      1. michudagawd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Arnie to Kane + Eriksen to Snoddy -4?

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rich to Son is tempting if Son is rested a bit vs Barca

      1. michudagawd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Have to get rid of Arnie as well though.

    2. Woy_is_back

      Ryan over Patricio? You sure?

  15. Goat

    Another know Richarlson’s live ownership? I’d guess around 50%

    1. michudagawd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      45%

    2. McSauce

      32.8% on FPL site

      1. michudagawd

        Many of those are dead teams.

        not sure i would do that with how unreliable tinkerman is but cant see much downside in it.Currently have richy first sub and kamara 2nd sub .Promoting kamara to 2nd sub ahead of digne is the max i have thought to do ha

    1. Fergus1107

      i was looking at doing the exact same thing. Then i looked at Hazards fixtures.

      Million or so less and similar points potential over the next 6.

  21. Wheato182

    Any idea what to do with this lot? my rank is dropping fast

    Patrico
    AWB - Laporte - Bennett
    Sterling - Anderson - Richarlison - Cavaliero
    Kane - Auby - Laca

    Hamer - Gomez* - Mendy (Lei) - Cedric
    Bank 0.8

    Thinking of doing Gomez to Luiz but have Cavaliero hanging in my team like a turd in a swimming pool so think i should do something with him, any suggestions welcome...

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Defense too weak

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Downgrade Laca

      1. Wheato182
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        would be taking a hit and this week he has Southampton?

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He has good fixtures for several weeks so it's one of them where you're just never going to want to take him out till towards the end of the run of fixtures.

          I like Gomez to Luiz... sort out Cav next week.

  22. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    who to play:
    1-Fabianski (FUL Away)
    or
    2-Patricio (BOU Home) - Have Doherty

    1. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      2

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'm playing Fab atm but no idea if correct.

  23. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Worth a hit?

    Fraser, Ings -> Mitro, Son?

    1. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      dont lose Fraser

    2. mike09
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Fraser, Ings > F.Anderson, Kamara?

  24. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Looking to get Salah in from GW 22. Seem to have a decent fixture turn.
    Anyone else looking at this?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Got him already, probably keeping for Man Utd. Then perhaps getting in Sterling for him.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      not looking that far but not gonna get him till then regardless

  25. ShaunGoater123

    Current team:

    Ryan / Button

    Alonso / Balbeuna / AWB / Digne / Doherty

    Salah / Sane / Richarlison / Brooks / Gunnarsson

    Kane / Auba / Jimenez

    Ryan & Brooks > Lloris & Snodgrass for -4?

    1. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure I’d take a hit for that personally. Maybe just do one for free

  26. Klein

    Play 2
    A) TAA (man u H)
    B) awb (lei H)

    1. Ji-Sung Park
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      def Trent and probably Siggy

      1. Bat Man
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yep

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      taa siggy

  27. Ji-Sung Park
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Who would you guys pick on WC if you had to chose two of Son, Sane and Hazard?

    1. Soapy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sane and Hazard

    2. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard and one of Son/Sane depends on CL minutes though.

  28. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you play next GW?

    A TAA (MANU)
    B Kamara (WHU)
    C Richarilson (mci)

    Cheers

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one, probably A.

    2. Bat Man
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B if sure of starting. If not, A

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      similar situation.Playing taa

  29. Soapy
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    D. Silva and Alonso to Sterling and Luiz for free? Not keen on losing Alonso but thinking it might prove to be worth it

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      you know Alonso will punch you but assuming silva is out then seems ok moves

      1. Bat Man
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Is this dependent on Silva being injured or would you make the move regardless? Last I heard it was a tight hamstring and nothing too serious.

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      yup

  30. Bat Man
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Make sense to cash in on Fraser and switch to Felipe if you already have Wilson?

    1. mike09
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.
