    So this is what my team would look like if I removed Vardy and Perez but with a -8 hit. Also Perez and Vardy prices bond to drop so makes replacing them become more difficult especially when KDB's price will be rocketing.

    Pope
    Pereira TAA VVD
    Mcginn Salah Sterling KDB Trossard
    Pukki Jota

    Button Dunk Lundstram Greenwood

    I will have 0.2 in the bank and KDB bound to get a good haul again vs Bournemouth.

    I also will not be thinking of usibg my WC yet.

    Honest thoughts appreciated.

      Not sure why Perez, Vardy to KDB, Pukki is good move but shouldn't cost -8. Vardy and Perez could score well over next two. I'm holding Perez for time being.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry, that didn't make sense. Meant to say good moves, but not for a -8.

    Already used 2 frees in getting Pukki and Martial. Quite fearful of no KDB and Moura on bench. Worth a hit - 8 to get KDB?

    A Team fine as is
    B TAA to Zouma/5 m defender and Moura to KDB -8

      Man tell me about it! I have a bad feeling about Moura and seriously considering another hit.

    Thoughts on Moura starting this weekend? Sell or keep for a second -4 hit this week? Thanks all!

    1. ‘Tis the Season

      Hold

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years

      I wouldn't be taking a hit to remove him. Could score against newcastle whether he starts or not.

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thank you guys. Do you think he might start?

  5. xHaTr

    If Digne is confirmed out, is it worth taking the -4 to AWB?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      No

      1. Dr. Rog

        that's what the bench is for

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years

        Depends on who else you have and whom you will play.

    2. No Professionals

      Awb has to get a clean sheet just to pay for himself. And if prefer digne long term.

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Probably should of just done TAA+Wilson to Lundstram+Kane last night 🙁

  7. ALegendJ

    Stat attack!!

    2018/19 minutes /points:
    - Kane 2423 / 160
    - Son 2033 / 159

    Get in ma team Sonny Jim 🙂

    1. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      mids better than strikers
      1 point more for a goal, 1 point more for a CS, end of debate

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Dat price tag too dough

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

        Bit more to it than that! Son hasn't played yet so form isn't clear nor is his starting spot guaranteed atm. Happy to captain Kane this week, wouldn't captain Son for the reasons I just mentioned. Kane is a 200 point per season player, Son's highest score is 178. Most minutes Son has got in a season is 2200, Kane starts pretty much every week when fit. Kane takes penalties, Son doesn't. Son can get subbed early, Kane less so.

        Anyhow, would like to have Son but not atm

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          There seems to be doubt out there as to whether he will start but for me it's a total no brainer to be honest - see my thoughts in other post below

          Basically He's head & shoulders above Lamela & Moura as a forward

          Crucially they'll likely want him with at least one game under his belt before arsenal - what better way to warmn up for the Derby than Newcastle 🙂

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

            Last season between GW11 and GW 22 (until Kane got injured), Son got 8 goals and 6 assists, Kane got 9 goals and 3 assists. That was pretty much when Spurs were running hot. Son blanked three times during this period but started on the bench twice. If this is anything to go by then Spurs are running hot when both Son and Kane are.

            After GW22 Son got 3 goals in 3 games and then Spurs fell off a cliff. For the record, in the last 11 game weeks Son got 1 goal and 1 assist (and 1 red card!)

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I would argue this is not a stat. This is data, the stat is 5.9 PPG / 7.0 PPG.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        DATA ATTACK!!

        2018/19 minutes /points:
        - Kane 2423 / 160
        - Son 2033 / 159

        Get in ma team Sonny Jim

    3. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Except there is a chance son doesn't start this week. Moura and lamela did well last game.

      However, when I wildcard I'm likely to go son over kane.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Son pretty much definitely starts imo

        He's their best pacy forward by quite some distance - and well rested

        They'll want him firing on all cylinders for the arsenal game next week so will give him target practise v Newcastle

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      do the same, but with 16/17 Kane 😉 tbh it's hard to argue that mids are better than forwards, catching form potentially harder though? not sure

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        also, as of now there is about 4 good forward options and about 15 mids 😀

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        *hard to argue against mids being better than forwards generally

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I think we all had that gut feeling - when you see it in black and white data though its scary

          400 less minutes and how many less millions for the same points? Wowsers

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            check out Martial too, it's ridiculous - it's only Cantwell vs Wickham that's making me stick to 343 for now - but when I do wildcard it's power 5 for sure

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Martial could be the beneficiary of some (with 20:20 hindsight) questionable pricing and positioning decisions by FPL Towers - he looks set for FPL greatness if he can avoid injury

              1. ‘Tis the Season
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Well said MBP

      3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You should do that check and share it with us - id be genuinely interested in the results 😉

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          ok, Kane 2523 / 224

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            When you bring the price tag into it how do the numbers line up & if you pro rated sons score for greater minutes etc... Does it tell a story?

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              it does, but the story is incomplete, it depends on the available pool of mids and strikers IMO - head to head, and in form, Son does win - think everyone knows this anyway

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Son was incredible when in form, but when he wasn't, a different story. He seemed to be better without Kane on some occasions also.

      Now they have Ndombele, but also Lucas in form. Eriksen is also fit now, but there are some question marks.

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That run of poor form coincided with a massive dip in Spurs general performances tho. If you back them to do well, hard to see Son not involved.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I was thinking earlier would the new central mids inadvertently help Kane this season in terms of him not being required to drop as deep

        But to be honest, even if he is lumped up front, son looks too good to turn down for a Salah Sterling team - he's so dangerous and effectively a striker

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Kane likely be the striker and Son winger now imo.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Kane deep lying hub for Son & Moura to run off imo

            1. ‘Tis the Season
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Exactly

            2. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              They will have the ball vs Newcastle parking the bus. Not that easy to run through it 😉

          2. ‘Tis the Season
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Why would you think that? Surely Son floats between flanks

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Perhaps, but if the cost is Rashford + money +4 pts, it can wait.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Selling Rashford for a - 4, for anyone, would suggest urgent medical attention is required tbf

        3. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What are your thoughts on Sonny versus Kevin?

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            KDB looks pretty non-negotiable at the minute - he's next level

          2. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            It is a coin toss imo. If Son is in form, he is probably better option. Goals are 5 pts and assists only 3 pts.

            I also believe that Captain Silva will play easier games and "steal"
            some assists from KdB. (At least this is a possibility mentioned by Markus here.) We may(?) find out later, but very similar points for both is a possibility.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Id put KDB ahead of him at the minute - purely because he IS currently in firm and IS currently turbo nailed

              But I think come next Monday Son will have made a big splash that will have a lot of folks pondering this question and possibly fluttering even more wildcards

              When both are in top form, son shades it though, he scores hattricks from midfield at this best

              1. My Name Is Prince
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Yeah that’s true but that’s also something you gotta take into account, the players aren’t in top form all the time, and so longer term Kevin might still edge him... Quite tough to have a midfield of Salah/Sterling/Son/KDB which I would like to have...

                1. Pieterke30
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  It’s easy with no premium striker. So the choice comes down to Kane or Son

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    2FTs. Best move please?

    A. Pérez+Wilson >> Martial+Pukki
    B. Wilson+TAA+Moura >> Kane+AWB+Mount (-4)

    Heaton
    TAA • VVD • Digne • Zinchenko
    Salah • Sterling • Moura • Pérez
    Wilson • Jota
    (Pope, Rico, Dendonk, Greenwood)

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

      Quite like the look of B and captain Kane

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah think they both could work. Just not certain on Mount and sick of Pérez

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

      Same team - 2FT
      TAA + Peréz > AWB + Martial

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Doesn’t mathematically make sense unless you have 0.6 ITB

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Actually it does 🙂

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

      A

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think I’m swaying back towards this. Wilson and Pérez are my main issues I think and Martial and Pukki seem nice replacements

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably B of those, if a longer term move

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting. Why is B more long term?

    5. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mixed responses. Tricky one this

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

      I considered both and ended up doing A. My reasons were:

      - I prefer Martial and Pukki in the long run vs Kane and AWB, getting them in avoids further price rises which could be about 0.4 combined.
      - AWB is likely to get a CS vs Palace but not so sure about later fixtures while I like the 2 fixtures of TAA after Arsenal.
      - With most people getting KDB now, I think Sterling might be the best captaincy option against the weak Bournemouth defence to hedge against double City attacker owners.
      - Perez doesn't seem to fit in to the system and wouldn't be surprised if he is benched; I don't expect him to score/assist even if not benched. Moura is also unlikely to start but even if he plays the last 30 min against Newcastle, his chance of getting returns is not too bad imo.

      Of course the risk is quite high to go into the GW without Kane but the reasons above outweighed this risk for me.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. Nice reply

  10. Athletic Nasherbo

    Thoughts on this wildcard team?

    Ryan
    VVD AWB Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling KdB Trossard Mount
    Rashford Pukki

    Button Lundstram Wickham Rico

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Id definitely have Son in my team if im on WC. Still a really good team though

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

        Can’t have everyone because I really want Son also.

    2. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rico -> Kelly?

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

        Yes potentially. Feel like Kelly drops in price once Cahill starts and Sakho/Tomkins are back

    3. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd get son

  11. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know when is the next fixture swing for the big clubs?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You'd be better off looking for yourself, dude!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Why don't you just use the ticker, you're paying for it.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        And then tell me the answer as someone who hasn't paid for it 😉

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Before next deadline 😉

  12. simong1
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you could only get 1 in this week (the other hopefully next wk if not priced out of it) would it be Pukki or Martial?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Martial personally, by about 50 million miles, only because Pukki is surely due to regress from that ridiculous scoring rate whereas martial clearly has another 2 maybe 3 gears to go up... And had the fixtures and crucially is absolutely nailed now

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial due to that fixture

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial only based on the fixture. Pukki is on fire!

    right guys, advice please.. current team..

    Pope (button)
    Montoya, vvd, digne, (lundstram), (rico)
    kdb, sterling, martial, salah, perez
    king, jimenez, (greenwood)

    got 2 freetransfers, 0 in the bank

    want to try get son in but not sure its really possible...
    what do use think i should do?

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

      Don't think it's doable without a Salah downgrade which is probably a bad idea

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

      Not possible to get Son, unless you straight swap him for KdB, which I wouldn't really advise.

      Probably best holding the transfer until we have firm news on Digne, given how weak your bench is.

  14. simong1
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Suggested changes here, if any? 2 FT, 0ITB

    Hold and wait on injury news re Digne or else go Robbo & King > AWB & Pukki (possibly followed by Perez > Martial the week after)

    Pope - Button
    Robertson - VVD - Digne - Zinchenko - Lundstram
    Sterling - KDB - Salah - Perez - Dendocker
    King - Jota - Greenwood

  15. Link
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Flirting with the WC. Worth it for these?

    Jota > Pukki
    Salah > Mane
    Ceballos > Martial
    Zouma > Soyuncu
    TAA > VVD
    Rico > Lundstram

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

      Just take a few hits mate

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

        Yeah - moves feel a little bit sheep-ish and reactionary

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Flip a coin

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thing is, whilst most of those moves would look sound as part of a WC, you're not gonna make the same moves for hits. Are you really gonna take out Jota for a -4 ahead of Burnley at home, or one of the Liverpool moves which are a bit sideways? If you really wanna restructure a WC may be best.

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

        In honesty - I don't think I'm in terrible shape for the week ahead, and likely won't take any hits. It's either stick or wildcard.

        Feels like a lot of restructuring to essentially get in Martial and a few on form (price rising) players with iffy fixtures. Probably not worth a wildcard.

  16. superhoops191
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Pope
    Laporte Mina Montoya Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Ceballos
    Kane Pukki

    Stek Cantwell Pieters Wickham

    Martial instead of KDB enables much more balanced team and better defence but do like having him in. Laporte/Mina will prob be Digne/Walker if Digne fit

  17. Lestat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A- Martial Rashord Firmino

    or

    B- Mount Rashford Kane??

  18. Teror
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Can't decide on a -8 or a -4 this week. Thoughts?

    A. Robbo + Salah + Perez + Wilson > Montoya + Mane + KdB + Rashford (-8)

    B. Robbo + Perez + Wilson > AWB + KdB + Pukki (-4)

    1. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B is way better

  19. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Will Son start weekend?

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

      Think you'll have to ask father Pochettino.

  20. Midlands Saint73
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I'm not concerned with holding Moira because I think he will come off the bench with Spurs 3 or 4 up and I'll take his goal or assist points happily. Or am I just kidding myself?

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

      You're doing something to yourself.

    2. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      if you don't have one of KDB or Martial and you have 2 transfers then you should think again

  21. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How does this move look?
    Zinchenko, Salah and pèrez to
    Lundstram, mane and son
    -4

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

      Whats the hit actually for?
      Which one of those players are worth the hit?

    2. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Guess mainly pèrez to son ? Do personally prefer mane to salah as well

  22. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Does this look okay for the next couple?

    Heaton Button
    VVD Dunk Digne Lundstram Prodl
    Sterling KDB Moura Maddison Salah
    Pukki King Greenwood

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Of course. Maddison FTW

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

      Moura biggest concern.

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good to me providing Moura gets enough game time

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

      Looks fine as you have a bit of a bench.

  23. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1. Son, Barnes and Lundstram
    2. Rashford, Trossard and Zinchenko

    1. Ha.

    Best option here folks

    Pope - Heaton
    VVD Taa Digne Zincheko — Rico
    Sterling Kdb martial Perez — Dendocker
    King XXX YYY

    A: Kane + wickham
    B: Rashford + Pukki and bench king

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tough. B by a hair's breadth

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B.

  26. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Are the Rate my Team predictions reset after each gameweek or longterm predictions? Trossard scored one, had another VARsed and at home to Southampton predicted to get 2.65 points. Granted one game isn't a great base for data but it seems fairly low.

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They get updated regularly. They factor in likeliness of starts etc. If you hover over Trossard you'll get an adjusted value without his expected minutes taken into account. The sensible thing to consider is he's just scored, is a good different and he's at home to Southampton.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers Marty.

  27. Rbyrne95

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts? Currently have.

    Pope (Button), Coleman-TAA-Van Dijk-Zinchenko-(Lundstram), Salah, Sterling, Tielemans, Dendocker, (Robinson), King-Kane, (Greenwood)

    2 FT.
    A) King, Tielemans & TAA > Pukki, Martial & Wan Bissaka -4
    B) King, Tielemans & V Dijk > Pukki, Martial and 5 mil defender. -4
    C) Want to get Robinson out but want Martial and Pukki

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pukki has been great in two games and I hope he lights up the PL but will be interesting if defences are so hospitable to him.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A looks OK, but you could get rib by Robinson by doing King, VVD (or TTA) and Robinson to Martial, Pukki and the best defender you can afford.

  28. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    best 6mil or below midfielder to have?

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

      Mount or Trossard.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Trossard, I'm also tempted by Ceballos.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Will Ceballos play deeper in trickier games? Looked class the last game, very smart footballer.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Possibly but at only 5.5m he would still be a decent enabler who's more than capable contributing attacking returns.

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

      Ceballos, Mount, McGinn the obvious picks

    4. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Trossard

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

    Mohamed Salah on the impact of VAR: "More penalties for me, you will see that."

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mixed with his unrivalled skills for diving in the box, he could bag a lot of penos then

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane > Salah (-4)?

  30. lekalatch
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why are people on a WC preferring Pope/Ryan over Adrian? 3-4 GWs with a Pool CS cover while Burnley, for example, has (wol LIV bha) over the next three. Is it because you don't want to spend a transfer on getting him out later?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      3 games, 4 conceded.

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

      Guess because Adrian is so bad.

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      International break (worst two words in existence) is coming up soon.

      You might only get 2 games out of Adrian, 3 max.
