The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 23

The Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 23 begins with a heads-up about Gameweek 24 – the deadline is Tuesday 18:30 GMT – don’t forget to set your team for the first Double Gameweek of the season after this weekend.

However, we have another round of fixtures to consider before then. And plenty of team news, analyses and captaincy decisions to ponder. You’ll even discover why Joe’s transfer plans involve him going “Choudhury deep”. Yes, it does sound very wrong. 

Given Lateriser’s headline success of Vardy to Aguero last week, the Scoutcast trio of Joe, Sam and Lee asked the question: is it time to sell Vardy?

Lee’s concern, as someone who has owned him since early in the season, would be the amount of value lost. Especially if you want to buy him back later on. Joe countered that for him it’s “points not pounds” that count – he doesn’t care about losing value but he does worry about losing points. Leicester face Burnley and West Ham next.

Sam cautioned that given Vardy is likely to be highly captained this week, not owning him could hurt. Indeed, the former England international is currently second in the captain poll. 

Encouragement for handing Vardy the armband was to be found in David’s Captain Sensible article: 

The expected data paints an even more damning picture for Burnley ahead of hosting Vardy, who may feel he has a point to prove after failing to shoot against Southampton. The Clarets’ expected goals conceded (xGC) score from their last four stands at 7.70, the third-worst in the league.

– David

However it’s Kevin De Bruyne who leads the poll and was described as “the safe bet” in the Gameweek 23 Captaincy Video. He is a player who is overperforming – he hasn’t had a big chance since Gameweek 9 but has scored five goals in that time – but as Neale observed

That doesn’t mean [De Bruyne’s] returns are unsustainable, of course. As we have pointed out before, the so-called ‘better’ players tend to … convert a higher proportion of their chances (or have teammates who more reliably convert their key passes).

– Neale

And with so many of his teammates in fine form, assists are perhaps a more likely source of points. Pro Pundit Tom Freeman is leaning towards handing the Belgian the captain’s armband. 

Resurgent Saints

Tom was one of many to talk up Southampton assets this week. David labeled their defence as “FPL-investment-ready” following his in-depth examination of their credentials. Tom agreed, pointing out that their expected goals conceded over the last ten matches is second only to Liverpool. He highlighted goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and defender Jack Stephens as potential bargains.

McCarthy is Andy’s favoured option to replace the stricken Fabianski. The face of Let’s Talk FPL discussed goalkeeper replacements earlier this week. 

And fellow Pro Pundit Zophar drafted in McCarthy as part of a mini-Wildcard (three transfers for the cost of four points). He’s one of two Saints players added to his squad, the other being Danny Ings. Assessing the in-form striker, Zophar enthused:

No forward has scored more goals (five), taken more SiB (19) or landed more shots on target (SoT) (11) than the Englishman over the last five Gameweeks.

– Pro Pundit Zophar

Saints fan Differential (c) brought us his insights into the turnaround in Southampton’s fortunes this season, noting that a settled back four has been a key component of their upturn in form. Once again McCarthy, Stephens, and that man Ings were given special mention. 

For the third transfer of his mini-Wildcard Zophar decided to play “Pep Roulette” in an effort to climb the ranks. 

Riyad Mahrez put pen to paper for the six-time top 5,000 manager. A move Pro Pundit Sam – currently in the top 10,000 – considers fraught with peril. Adding that Man City don’t play Aston Villa every week and a look at this site’s fixture ticker reveals they are bottom over the next ten Gameweeks.

Nonetheless, Zophar feels the Algerian has done enough to become a regular starter and found comfort in the words of Guardiola:

You see his legs it is impossible to be injured because he has no muscles. The final third he has something special, always I have the feeling he can score a goal.

– Pep Guardiola

Mahrez is included in the predicted line-up for the Sky Blues. And the Citizens top the latest DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds provided by G-Whizz.

Richarlison and Rashford updates

The surprising news from Friday’s press conferences came from Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti: 

“We are without for this game Richarlison. He had a little problem yesterday in training and will not be available for the game. I hope he will be available on Tuesday. Little problem on his knee, he had a little twist but nothing special. Minor problem but unfortunately will not be available tomorrow. We are without Sigurdsson, he has minor groin issues.”

– Carlo Ancelotti

How their absence will impact Everton’s creativity is anyone’s guess. Of particular interest to fantasy managers is Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has taken 14 shots in his last four matches. David wrote of him in Captain Sensible:

Calvert-Lewin is a player who boasts considerably better individual underlying statistics since Gameweek 19 than De Bruyne and Vardy – and faces an opposition whose defence is arguable worse than Crystal Palace or Burnley’s.

– David

Pep Pig backs the 22-year-old to find the back of the net at the London Stadium.

Marcus Rashford was subbed off shortly after coming on in Man United’s FA Cup replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers, giving owners cause for concern. At yesterday’s press conference manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer failed to reassure, stating only that Rashford was receiving “checks and treatment”.

Perhaps the bigger worry for FPL bosses is not the match against leaders Liverpool but rather the midweek game at home to Burnley.

Sam urged us not to ignore teams with only one match in Double Gameweek 24: 

Double Gameweeks are a gift for us FPL managers but my experience of dealing with them is to not let them blindside you into forgetting about the single Gameweek players.

– Sam

In addition to the Clarets trip to Old Trafford, Watford’s fixture against Aston Villa also appeals:

Watford play Aston Villa, who have only won twice in their last nine games. In the reverse fixture, Watford won 3-0.

– Sam

Neale’s Big Numbers article showed us just how good the Hornets have been of late: 

21 chances created by Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) and Troy Deeney (£6.2m) combined since Nigel Pearson first took charge of Watford in Gameweek 17. The pair are first and joint-second respectively for key passes among FPL forwards over the last six Gameweeks.

– Neale

Deeney’s leadership since his return from injury an important factor, with Ismaïla Sarr another to thrive under the new manager.

Liverpool and Enablers

Liverpool assets continue to dominate our thoughts ahead of their two fixtures next Gameweek. Reds-fan Lee feels that ignoring the 40%-owned Mané could ruin his season given that many are likely to captain him.

While Joe has devised a plan, which involves switching to a 4-3-3 formation and acquiring the £4.3m-rated Hamza Choudhury, in order to get Mané and play his Triple Captain chip on him. 

We’ve had a couple of articles attempt to map out the Blank and Double Gameweeks later in the season, and devise a chip strategy. Both Neale and Lord – Blaming it on Rio feel that Gameweek 24 could be a good time to use the Triple Captain chip, although it’s difficult to say if a better opportunity won’t present itself further down the line.

Meanwhile, considering her Liverpool trio, Sam feels a more balanced approach is the way to go. For her, the cheaper Firmino and Martial – with his home fixture against Burnley – is a good combination. Against Tottenham last weekend, the Brazillian scored his seventh away league goal of the season (more than Mane and Salah combined) and drew praise from Klopp:

When I went to him and wanted to give him a hug after the game, he wanted to stop and talk first. He said, ‘I know I should have scored more goals’. It was absolutely not what I wanted to say! Yes, a super player, super. I don’t say this for the first time and will hopefully not say it for the last time. Pretty impressive.

– Jurgen Klopp

David added to the growing confidence in Liverpool’s number nine in his members-only assessment: 

Both over the last four matches and his last four away trips especially, the Brazilian has produced some incredibly encouraging underlying statistics.

– David

For those favouring double Liverpool attack, cheap enablers are needed.

Picked out as differential by Joe on the Scoutcast, Tom Freeman in his differentials article, and Andy in the Community Q&A videoLeandro Trossard is tipped to fit the bill. Brighton face Aston Villa next – no team has conceded more goals away than Villa and with Trossard’s next four games all against teams near the bottom of the table, he has the potential to do well. 

Not everyone is set on double attack as Greyhead discovered in his latest look at The Great and The GoodCareer Hall of Fame number one, Sean Tobin, has opted for a defensive double-up in the shape of Robertson and Alexander-Arnold. 

Chelsea’s Big Chance

Two Chelsea players are included in this week’s Scout Picks – Tammy Abraham and Reece James make the cut.

Part of the reason for their inclusion is the strength of the team they are facing:

Newcastle defence that has conceded the second-highest number of big chances over the last four Gameweeks.

– Scout Picks

The importance of looking at Big Chances was highlighted by AK this week, who found them to be the best indicator of goals alongside expected goals.

Good news then for owners of Abraham. Pep Pig felt he was unlucky not to score more than once against Burnley.

      Pretty sure Rashford won't play so as long as you're happy with Rico coming in

      1. checkit_j

        I'd rather dendo. Or I put rash on the bench. And play gomez for kinko?

    Chasing an upside anyone?

    Pro Pundit and community regular Lateriser12 shipped Jamie Vardy last week to bring in Sergio Aguero to tremendous effect and a massive capacity haul away at Aston Villa last weekend. I tried something similar myself by giving the armband to Mohammed Salah who found himself way down in the captains poll and was perhaps unlucky to only come away with an assist, albeit with a much trickier fixture away at Spurs.

    It’s a similar situation for those players again this week with Aguero still having a relatively low ownership and an attractive fixture at home to Crystal Palace and Salah with a trickier looking fixture but something of a captaincy differential as Liverpool take on fierce rivals Man United at Anfield. I don’t own Aguero but I may punt on giving the captaincy to the Egyptian again.

    Or would you rather play it safe? Kevin De Bruyne and Jamie Vardy are hugely owned assets and find themselves once again as the people’s choices this week, De Bruyne has been particularly effective at the Etihad this season where City meet Palace, whilst Leicester take on Burnley at Turf Moor with the clarets finding it tough against top four opposition this season.

    Who are you captaining this gameweek and why?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy.

    2. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kun. On form, as are city and they know they have to blow every team away from here on in if they are to even consider a challenge. I have KDB vice in case pep does what pep does and benches Aguero haha! Strongly considered Vardy, and believe Salah could finally have some fun against United too.

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, could be back to back hat tricks again if he starts.

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm really poor at picking captains. There is few proven players on twotter who has a history of picking right captains.

      My strategy is to copy their picks atm.

      Vardy (c) for me

      1. Grounderz
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Mate, I like your honesty and approach.

    4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah cos I love him

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

        4 years, 2 months ago

        And it would be sweet if we slaughtered utd

          I enjoy this.

    5. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy.

      Playing against a poor Burnley side, who have conceded 4th most goals this season. Vardy has scored 2 or more in similar away games too, Brighton, Villa and Southampton.

      Leicester will be up for this one and Burnley are in poor form so I can see a big win for Leicester.

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is solid reasoning, Leicester like Citeh have to push on big time

    6. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy. Pens and the live Sunday fixture swings it for me. KDB(v).

    7. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy. Burnley have conceded plenty against the top sides and can’t park the bus at home which should help Vardy

    8. snowman
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      KDB currently but debating going with Salah

    9. Just-In-Cider
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Will be on Kun again this week

    10. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy for me. See a Leicester response this week after a poor result last week.

    11. Hiddenpaw
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going Salah, warming him up for the triple captain next week.

    12. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tempted to put the armband on Ings. Do we think there's much risk of rotation given they have Palace on Tuesday?

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Wolves look knackered to me. And he's in the form of his life.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’m tempted too, Ings stats in the reverse fixture were hot.

    13. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy. Hatty incoming.

    14. Borisalandoris
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not much talk of sterling after his rest, surely he will play?

    15. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A DGW player always goes big right before a DGW (then does nothing in the DGW!), so I’m going to go Salah.

      Milner out should mean he’s on pens too.

    16. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Been on KDB all week. But just learning that Salah will be facing Williams.
      I’m going Salah now, he will get plenty of joy in that side.
      He’s done well for me as captain over the last two GW, and his stats looks excellent.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Williams is a tough nut.

        1. tisza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          who does get caught out of position a fair bit

    17. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It has to be Aguero.Again.

    18. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy, because he is due, and Burley are more likely to "cave in" than Palace where it will probably be around 2 to 3-0 and more likely than not, the scorers will be spread out. Captained KDB last week.

    19. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Seriously tempted to captain Cantwell but probably wont dare to.

      So, it’s between Vardy and KDB for my team. Slightly worried KDB might get subbed off early if they winning bc of game on Tuesday. Vardy will play 90. But still, it’s on KDB for now.

    20. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Raheem because I hope he goes out with a bang.

    21. Lord Heskey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sold De Bruyne for Son & gave him the arm band, hope it doesn’t back fire

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Crikey, that is bold!

    22. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cantwell against an awful Bournemouth defence. The Liverpool vs United game will probably be tight so Salah and Mane are risks. Palace have been very solid so KDB probably won't get much. Vardy is very tempting but I'm worried about them not having Ndidi.

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I brought Son in yesterday too - in what feels like a somewhat sideways move for Alli

        But the budget was there, the 2 FT's were there... So said let's roll the dice 🙂

        Didn't captain though but hope he notches a 20 pointer

    25. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      KDB seems a good shout but even with all their problems Palace have only conceded more than 2 once this season.
      Can see TAA & Salah causing Utd a lot of problems down that flank. Williams gets caught out of position too much.
      Probably KDB in the end.

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

      Vardy

      I feel rumours of his demise may have been greatly exaggerated 🙂

      (Hopefully!)

    27. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So tempted to Captain DCL!! I don't have the cajones so going vardy to be safe

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

      Ings. Form, fixture, team on form, Wolves knackered and played midweek, scored in reverse. Loving that almost no one is backing him here.

    29. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Pukki.
      Last week for a captain punt before a Liverpool player will be captained for 6 or 7 weeks.
      Home against Bournemouth. Good chance he scores

    30. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling, because he could hit 20 easily and I have to make ground.

    KdB should start considering he got of early last game, right?

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd be very surprised if he doesnt play. But....it's pep

      Only thing putting me off captaincy

    My team for this week:

    Ryan
    Sidibe, Soyuncu, Trent, Lundstram
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Alli
    Vardy, Ings

    Ramsdale, Rico, Greenwood, Longstaff

    Leave as is or bring in Robertson or Stephens for Rico for a hit?

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bring in Robertson for a hit against Utd?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I'm pretty sure they won't score against Liverpool,and Robbo can get attacking points. Anyway, I think I'll just leave it until next week

    0ft 1.5m itb.

    Ryan
    TAA/Soy/Lund
    Salah/KDB(c)/Grealish/Martial

  11. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years

    Will salah be facing Williams? Or is that Mane.

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah, Williams is a left back

    2. Big Mac 24

      Salah

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Blimey.
      I might captain salah then

  12. zuio
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A Deeney
    B Calvert-Lewin
    C Maupay

    for Jimenez this gameweek?

  13. JBG
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start 2:

    A) Dendoncker
    B) Cathcart
    C) Chilwell

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell and Dendoncker

        Hmm..

  14. Queens of the South Age
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This plan sound ok?

    This week - just play Rashford with Grealish first sub

    Next week - use one of Aguero or Rash to help fund Mahrez > Mane

  15. Caesar Salahd
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Martial or Cantwell?

    1. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m playing both, with Rashford first on bench - thinking 2points from Martial is better than 20min cameo from Rashford

  16. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How does this look?

    GW23: Jimmy > Ings
    GW24: Tammy > Firmino? (need to take a punt to catch up in my mini league)

    Hendo
    Trent, Soy, Lund
    Salah, KDB, Martial, Cantwell
    Vardy, Tammy, Jimmy

    Button, Traore, Rico, Kelly

    1FT, 1.5ITB

    Cheers

  17. PocketZola
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A quick one.

    Pope to who??

    1. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      McCarthy

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

      Depends what defenders you’ve got & if you want to double on Brighton, Southampton or Sheff Utd
      Sheff Utd & Southampton’s fixtures combine quite nicely
      I’ve gone for an even spread - Ryan - Lund - Stephens

  18. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If chasing and desperately need surprise points then Captain?

    a) Sterling
    b) Salah

    1. Holding Matip
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling but could very easily backfire

    2. James VARdy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Both fairly differential, would choose Sterling personally for this week

  19. snowman
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start Gaza or Pope?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      sheesh tough choice...go rush goalie!

      Pope....maybe?

      1. PEP_TALK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Rush goalie LOL ... this should definitely be a new chip in the game.

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly, play an extra attacker instead of that useless goalkeeper 😀

          1. PEP_TALK
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I'm all for it ... how do we let FPL towers know about this great idea? 🙂

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gazza

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gazza

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who to play ??
    A-Traoré
    B- Grealish

    1. PEP_TALK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

      Thx

  21. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years

    Triple captain kdb anyone?

    1. PEP_TALK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Err ... no.

  22. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Go with Sarr. Or heed the Scout Picks and play cantwell?

    1. PEP_TALK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you have both currently I'd play Cantwell I think ... Bournemouth are terrible at the moment

      1. jayzico
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Really? Man that's a dilemma. I can see watford beating spurs

        1. PEP_TALK
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          My other worry with Sarr is that Watford bought a new left winger this week and he could see less minutes as a result.

    2. James VARdy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bournemouth are so bad these days, Cantwell would be my choice

  23. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Captaincy dilemma like many others but here are my thoughts. Any advice appreciated!

    A) KdB (form, nice fixture, currently have armband on him but always wary of Pep)
    B) Vardy (current VC, fixture, it’s Vardy)
    C) Salah (fun differential, United can be really open and vulnerable)

    What do you think?

    Thanks

  24. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Captain one?

    A) KdB
    B) Vardy
    C) Son

    Bench one?

    1) Soy
    2) Lund

    1. James VARdy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B2

  25. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play which one to bench:

    A) Grealish
    B) Cantwell
    C) DCL

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bench C

  26. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    WC last call, any advice?

    McCarthy
    Alexander-Arnold / Dunk / Stephens
    Mane / Salah / De Bruyne (c) / Martial
    Vardy / Ings / Calvert-Lewin

    Button / Lundstram / Williams / Cantwell
    Bank: 0,3

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      G2G!

    2. James VARdy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Team looks nice, Id probably start Cantwell over DCL though or at least have him first sub if thats how your team is currently set.

      1. Kamara Police
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        definitely this

  27. Ronny Sandstone
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale to McCarthy for a hit?
    Y/N?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prob won't get a return on that this week but looks like a good long term swap.
      No bench?

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

      no

    3. Big Al Stankovic
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like he’s fit. So a no from me. I probably won’t do it even for free.

      1. Ronny Sandstone
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ok cheers guys, I'll hold fire - tried sleeping on it but couldn't call it.
