Aguero and Bernardo benched for Manchester City opener

Pep Guardiola has given Manchester City’s rotation roulette wheel its first spin of the season with Sergio Aguero (£12m) dropping to the bench for the 12:30 kick-off against West Ham United. 

The benching of Aguero, owned by 19% of managers, will be seen as a serious blow to the Argentine’s ability to be considered as a starting striker with further concern over whether he can be a reliable asset for the 2019/20 campaign.

Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) taking up a place in the front-three alongside Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) but at this stage, we are not sure which of those two will be in the centre-forward role and which will feature on the left flank of the attack.

Guardiola’s decision to bench Aguero, while influenced by his busy summer, is eerily reminiscent of the 2017/18 campaign for Fantasy managers following the arrival of Jesus at the Etihad.

It must be remembered that the Brazilian actually spent longer at the Copa America than Aguero and yet has been given a greater role for City since his return. So this could mark a worrying precedent for Aguero owners ahead of the new season.

At a price of £12m, Aguero simply must be starting every week for the Citizens in order for Fantasy managers to be getting a reliable starting asset at a premium price.

Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) are among City’s attacking trident to support the Brazilian, with Mahrez’s ownership of 1.3% giving managers a potential differential in the City frontline. 

David Silva (£7.5m) also features in City’s opener against the Hammers, marking his final season with the Citizens with a start in the capital, whilst Bernardo Silva (£8.0m) drops to the bench and, in the process, joins Aguero as an asset that will come under further scrutiny in the opening Gameweeks.

The Portuguese midfielder is currently in over 27% of teams, so his benching will be a big blow to the Fantasy community.

City’s defensive quartet is made up by Kyle Walker (£6.0m), John Stones (£5.5m) Aymeric Laporte (£6.5m) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.5m) with the latter offering a strong value-for-money option in picking defensive coverage for City at a competitive price of £5.5m. 

For the Hammers, club-record signing Sebastian Haller (£7.5m) starts up front, with attacking support from Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m) Felipe Anderson (£7.0m) and Michael Antonio (£7.0m) as Manuel Pellegrini aims to conjure up a forward line capable of causing City problems in their Premier League opener.

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cs point and the assist from a kdb corner and I'm all set 🙂

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking Zinch cleanie and assist.

  4. Athletic Nasherbo

    Jesus will see a lot more minutes this season for sure.

    1. testymctesterson
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yup

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Shame he won’t play a striker consistently. Jesus will see more minutes but still not an FPL option annoyingly

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Unless you knew he would start which is very difficult the City striker spot is not an option.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      HE WILL, BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED AN OPTION, ESPECIALLY WITH CAPTAINCY.

      1. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Stop shouting

  5. PogChamp

    West Ham have spent well. I don't have any of their players, yet. Reckon they will finish top 10 easily.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Got my eye keenly trained on them and Villa for next week.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm all over Haller for the good fixtures

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah Haller will be a great option and Fornals when he plays

  6. Valar(Keith)

    Pricing Adrian at 4.5 is fpls plan.. They want you to downgrade an expensive pool defender(1 transfer), and waste a transfer on pope to adrian(1 transfer) and spend the extra money (1 transfer) and then swap him back to pope(1 transfer) so that after a month your are stuck with Pope and no pool wing back and have wasted all your transfers doing feck all

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      *evil plan

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      What if you have 2 pool in VVD and Salah and Pope. Is a switch to Adrian a no brainer you think?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kinda.. Still 2 transfers on a keeper though. Now if you have Heaton and pope swapping Heaton out may make sense since you have pope coming in when Adrian is benched

        1. Aztec Kamara
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think we have to see what the scans confirm, but based on what they said about it my guess is he’ll be out for some time.
          Will also be interesting to see how much effect it has on their CS as they were looking shaky before the injury and i’ve seen some less than positive opinions on Adrian’s ability.
          I have Salah,TAA, &VVD so won’t Be performing major surgery to move on it.

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm in this camp (Salah and VVD, Heaton in goal)

        Doesn't look like there's an enormous rush for Adrian yet. Most transfer traffic is going to Ederson.

        I'll wait a couple of days, see if news on how long Allison is out for

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Same

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I actually really like that from FPL, if that is the case. Its a real test.

    4. Coolbean
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      The things people say to prove their point. They are full backs, not wing backs 🙂

  7. gamesmad11

    Anyone got any alternatives to fpl discovery? Doesn't seem to be running yet

  8. JELLYFISH

    Zinchenko get in. A cs now Citeh please

    1. thepeen555

      He was always going to start at least this week

    1. Rupert The Horse

      Fraud?

    2. Four Hit Wonder

      Bald?

    3. Maddi Son

      The?

  10. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    FPL aside, benching Bilva is a bit weird isn't it? He's one of City's best players.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pep was mad he wasn't nominated for player of the year, so he obviously thinks he's his best player. Wonder what his motivations were. We need him as a Sky pundit 😀

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pep is the one of the greatest managers, so if he thinks thats for the best, I respect that.

  11. The 5% Team
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I put Jesus and D Silva in my starting XI 😀

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Do you have 2 teams?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The obvious under 5% one and an actual one? Just asking

      2. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        no, only one.
        Players with 5% ownership or less

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          That's crazy :).. Really hope it works out. Brilliant.

          1. The 5% Team
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            fun for first half of the season...after that not so much, rank plummets fast

            1. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              What happens when the players you own cross 5 % though? Can you still keep them? And are your future transfers just under 5% too? I can't get my mind around this 😆

              1. The 5% Team
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                No, I transfer them out next GW.
                Probably will happen with D.Silva after this GW, as he is at 4.8%

                1. Valar(Keith)
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Jesus.. Hats off. I hope you have a separate cash mini league where you'll actually win something with these crazy rules.

            2. POLSKA GOLA
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              You should extend it to 10% for the 2nd half so you can have more fun playing

              1. The 5% Team
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                yeah...was thinking of that, using my WC to change it...we'll see

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Sounds like an admirably fun way of playing.

      Nice one

  12. La Roja

    Blimey 27% ownership for Bilva

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You get what you pay for

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Hopefully most have Greenwood first sub

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He will come on no doubt

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        who might come on and score the winner

  13. Brian Boitano
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bilva is nailed this season”
    “Bilva is cost effective way into Man City attack”
    “Bilva played his way into being essential in Pep’s plans”

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He was nailed in my team until the community shield.. Glad I kneejerked him out for kdb so far 🙂

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's one of their key players. One game means nothing especially not against a top team

      No one's really 100% nailed in the city attack but lime up vs spurs will show their first choice

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yawn

      Nobody even knows why he hasn't started. And as mentioned when you posted this before, even players we consider nailed players are not totally impervious to the bench

    4. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      "Bilva gave less points than other similar priced options from other teams who were their main player"
      That insight helped the good.players

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I can't really fathom the bilva craze this year. He's an incredible player but such an average FPL pick. Just a total waste of one MCI player

        1. HNI
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          People forget Footballwise good isnt same as FPL good. Same with KDB, Firmino and Dilva. I underestimated Sterling last season as I never found him great at finishing and classy but the amount of in box chances he gets for midfielder is amazing. Learnt lesson so can push all the way this time rather than jerk around top 1-5k

    5. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Never nailed

  14. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Generally, who is the better pick between VVD and Laporte?

    There wasn't too much difference between them last season and Man City were better defensively towards the end but a lot more people had VVD in their team at the start.

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Laporte but you can’t go wrong with either (I have VVD as really like Liverpool’s early fixtures)

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe it is centre back season, a 3-4-3 with laporte-VVD-Maguire

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This.. I've got VVD and laporte off the VAR hunch and will get Zouma/Christensen soon

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I feel VVD has the slight edge being a marginally better goal threat, but it's pretty equal.

      If City hadn't had that big stretch of games where they failed to keep a CS, Laporte would have been right up there with absolute top defender picks.

      Both teams have an array of players who can steal bonus away from either.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That stretch was soooo annoying.. Brilliant 70 percent possession play.. Allowed 1 shot per game.. Goal. Went on for far too long.

    4. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vvd 5.5 ppm
      Laporte 5.1 ppm
      Last season

      Vvd leadership is adorable tough... If only that can be count in BPS system

    5. Throwback
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not much in it, similar goal threat ... Laporte may the edge on baps... any City cleansheet, he’ll be City’s best defender.

  15. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thought that was a great front 6 by West Ham.

    Haller
    Anderson / Lanzini / Antonio
    Wilshere / Rice

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It’ll be hard to defend that’s for sure

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      West ham has always been great on paper until the game starts

    3. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Prefer Snodgrass there. Creative player

    4. POLSKA GOLA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I hope Lanzini stays there, he can be a decent option

    5. Throwback
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Front 6 looks good....if they go too gung ho today
      City will slaughter them

    6. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Am I missing something? That's an awful lineup. A true West Ham lineup that lookgs good to the uninitiated.

  16. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So annoyed Pelle has benched our best player. Fornals is the best player West Ham have ever had. Can’t wait to see him on the pitch for us

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I was surprised he was benched. I had in my team for a bit

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tevez wants a word

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You’ll see

      2. Supersonic Marv'
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        So does Bobby Moore.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bobby more ever win the U21 Euros at 23? No I didn’t think so

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Haha, this genuinely made me chuckle!

          2. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I think Bobby Moore won a lot more than that. You do realise that you're talking about one of the all time great defenders don't you? I look forward ro seeing Fornals though.

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mascherano and Lampard weren't bad either.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          They were for us

        2. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Mascherano never got a game for West Ham did he?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            5 apps 🙂

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ever? Wait until he plays a few!

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You’ll see

    4. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Best player Wham ever had was the French snake

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      God, he's old. He's got like 5 years left.

  17. Arctic_Orangutans
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Zinchenko is gonna get found out again

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Antonio is very tricky to defend against. Can swap wings with Anderson too. Be surprised if he starts next week.

    2. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Here's to hoping.

    3. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      With Mendy out dont think they have an option. Plus he is loved by Pep

  18. DeathoftheParty
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Everyone in ML has Bilva over Sterling except me... Everyone has a city defender or two and I don't.

    6-1 and this could be over as a competition before it even began.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If everyone bar you is opting for Bilva over Sterling then I doubt you'll be having too many problems in the long run anyway.

      1. DeathoftheParty

        5 new members in our league this year. Defending champion! Exciting times. Lot of Kane captains is my only real concern at the mo. How'd you get on last night?

      You should play in a proper league with decent managers if you want challenge. If its cash league it must be easiest money you make in your life.

        Let's talk more about that easy money and leave my OR as the challenge. How's your leagues shaping up?

        1. HNI
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          None sadly now as after college and job others lost interest in this engaging game. Just going to try for the top one last time. Next year I move on and enjoy football 'different' way you know not cheer only when your players scores and forget the good game

            Who do you support?

            I play 7's/8's on a Monday and Tuesday and catch the very occasional Rochdale game to make sure that my footballing life is consumed by this game... So I'm happy to cheer for very specific individuals!

            1. HNI
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I support the has beens Manutd. I was born in Fergie era so all this crap of todays team is hard to take now after being patient for 6 years

              1. DeathoftheParty
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Hard times pal. But, at least you had those days! Rochdale isn't the most exciting team to support but it does give me an even head when picking a team!

    Just got home and see the team news. Unlucky for some. But that’s the city risk.

      This week...

      1. HNI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Who will take his place next week? Cancelo is RB and threat to Walker while Mendy is still out and Made of glass anyway

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He's one mistake away from being dropped. He has Angelino, cancelo and soon Mendy waiting in the wings

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pep came out and stated that Cancelo can play on the left too.
          Otherwise id have him.

          1. HNI
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks. Zouma will be good replacement after next gw to do Fraser to Siggy 🙂

    2. Lacabacca

      Enjoy your 2 points.

    Is there a good app for FPL live goal/assist notifications? FFFix doesn't work on my S10 anymore.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Live score

      1. Four Hit Wonder
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No FPL assists on livescore sites/apps.

  22. Don Rogers FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I donlt seem to be able to access my 'Points' tab on the FPL site, it is simply not there. Is anyine else having a simlar problem. It;s there on my iphone but not on my lap-top or Ipad.

    Or am i just being stupid?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just have to refresh a few times. Go to the home page and refresh there too.

        Thanks Rupert, that worked. Just needed some effort!

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          A bit annoying isn't it?

  23. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who'll be the next surprise bench player? My guess is King and Moura...

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Moura is a shout

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully many to break the crap FPL benches many have

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Definitely this. No benchers need to be punished.

      2. Earwicker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        This. City will be a steep learning curve for some.

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. I've 3 bench players and literally nobody in my league has even 1

      4. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm sure the universe will conspire to produce a Dendonker goal 😉

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope?

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Please no! I have both.

    5. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Moura. Its a pity Poch doesnt rate him. If he had started in UCL final it would have been a good quality match

    6. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Moura prob yeah

    7. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

  24. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I dare someone to see Jack Wilshere playing football with his tongue in his mouth

    1. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I dare someone to see Wilshere not smoke before he goes for dump

  25. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I like how bench points aren’t shown in your team this year! Won’t have to constantly stare at a huge haul there that will inevitably happen at some point.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think it's just cause the bench hasn't played yet 🙂

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No it's not. The bench scores aren't shown just like the person has said.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What are you talking about? I definitely see the McGovern: 0 on my bench

        2. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I can see it in some teams who have pukki on the bench.

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Pukki 0 in my rivals team and others teams.
            Hover or click on him and it shows his haul.

          2. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I have Buendia on bench which it says 0

        3. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Thank you!

    2. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Only during bench boost you get bench points. Surprising you spent for ffs membership and nevrr knew ;p

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's not what he said.

        People all skip breakfast this morning ffs?

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Or she

      2. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You’ve got to be kidding me? I clearly didn’t say this

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Bench points definitely show

  26. super zlatan
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Just seeing team news.
    Bernardo benched. Wow

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Always a possibility this year

    2. HNI
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      None of good players had him. Will be big victory for me if BOU score well and Siggy blanksm Then it will be nice 100k start in gw1!

  27. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So nervous about not having Haller, great poacher and ball holder with those players behind him, going to be the one to have...

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      4.5% dont worry about it.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      It’s definitely someone to watch. Been down that road so many times. Remember Falcao, Morata, Soldado etc?

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Could be a good prospect. But don’t sweat it yet he is playing city and that’s why he is low % owned by.

  28. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Sane being out for 7 months means Sterling is just more nailed? I wonder how many games last season where neither of them played.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think anyone can really play on the left now apart from him tbh. I don't own him though so I'm hoping someone can.. Mahrez is a left footer who just doesn't suit the left :).. Same with bilva.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sane confirmed 7 months?

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      7 months??? And no doesn’t mean that just means others will be put there.

      Sterling pretty nailed anyway. At least until CL starts up

    4. Tambling5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He was pretty nailed last season. Might mean he gets left out more to ensure availability for future big games, when otherwise Pep might have thought he had Sane in reserve if got injured.

  29. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone got a link to the Scouts league so I can see Mark's team?

    Also who was that finnish (?) player that always finishes really high up and people use as a benchmark?

    Ta.

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ah thanks very much

  30. Four Hit Wonder
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ha ha look at Bilva's face. Brilliant.
