Mane injury latest as Firmino claims Double Gameweek advantage

Wolves 1-2 Liverpool

Goals: Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) | Jordan Henderson (£5.4m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m)

Assists: Adama Traoré (£5.7m) | Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m), Henderson

Bonus Points: J Henderson x3, Jiménez x2, Firmino x1

Liverpool’s trip to Wolves on Thursday, January 23, 2020, will almost certainly go down in Fantasy Premier League folklore for all the wrong reasons.

It was the night that Sadio Mané (£12.5m), backed by 270,144 for the Triple Captaincy, went off injured just 32 minutes into the first match of Double Gameweek 24.

No Fantasy asset was backed by more for the enhanced armband but that did not stop him from coming off with a potential hamstring problem and just one point to his name.

Naturally, Mané’s owners and captaincy backers will now be sweating on his fitness between now and next week’s trip to West Ham, which concludes the Double Gameweek.

The word from the Liverpool bench at half-time was that Mané notified the physios that he may have a “hamstring injury”. The indication is the issue is not too serious as he was able to walk off the pitch and get to the Liverpool changing room unaided. While his substitution was considered “precautionary” at first, Jurgen Klopp confirmed at full-time that his player had suffered a “muscle tweak” and suggested that he “probably” wouldn’t be available to prepare Liverpool’s next three games.

Thankfully, we may get further updates on Mané in the aftermath of Sunday’s FA Cup meeting with Shrewsbury as well as in the pre-match press conference ahead of next Wednesday’s trip to West Ham.

Even though his backers will be understandably upset by his curtailed outing at Molineux, there was, to some extent, a silver lining in the fact that Mohamed Salah (£12.4m), handed the Triple Captain chip by 220,121 Fantasy managers, also blanked and did not receive any clean sheet bonus.

In truth, the Egyptian really should have scored at Molineux wasting some chances and drawing excellent saves from Rui Patrício (£5.1m) at others. Arguably, Salah was also a bit selfish, taking on some shots when he should really have passed to a colleague.

As is often the case with Double Gameweeks, it was the unexpected man who finished the first match as top-scorer. Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) scored the opening goal and assisted the winner, bagged by Roberto Firmino (£9.5m), who extended his lead at the top of the goal charts for Liverpool players in away fixtures.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) got himself an assist to prove the highest-scoring Liverpool defender on the night as the clean sheet was lost and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) was booked.

However, it was Wolves that asked the first question of the evening as Adama Traoré (£5.7m) won the ball in the middle of the park and sprayed it out to Jonny (£5.4m).

The left-back pushed into some space vacated by Alexander-Arnold and Traoré joined him to double-up on Gomez. Jonny was then able to get beyond the centre-back and play a ball into the box, which was cut out by Henderson.

Less than a minute later, Wolves were awarded a free-kick on the left-hand side which Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) fizzed across the face of the goal, although, inexplicably nobody was able to get a touch on it. Had they done so, the ball surely would have ended up back in the net. In the end, it was a combination of Alexander-Arnold and Firmino who scrambled the ball clear.

Despite that spirited start from the hosts, they were 1-0 down in the eighth minute.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£6.2m) slid Firmino into some space in the centre, who moved it on to Salah. He was then taken down by Coady, resulting in a Liverpool free-kick.

The Egyptian and Alexander-Arnold stood over and, in spite of an ominous run-up, the latter saw his effort headed over by Conor Coady (£5.0m).

That wouldn’t stop the right-back notching his 14th attacking return of the season. He was able to pick out Henderson from the resulting corner, who nodded cooly beyond Patrício.

There were suggestions that the ball had brushed Mané’s head on the way through but the official finding was that it did not touch the winger.

He went close to an assist again in the 17th minute when he played a cross-field ball around the Wolves back-three to Salah, who had to drag back and inside onto his left foot to get a shot off, which was well blocked by Coady.

Oxlade-Chamberlain then played a lovely chipped through ball out to a free Mané out on the left, but he was quickly closed down by a recovering Dendoncker, who won the ball by kicking it against the Liverpool man’s arm.

It was at this point that Mané was taken off and replaced by recent new signing Takumi Minamino (£6.5m). Naturally, such a frustrating event for Liverpool saw the game lose a bit of pace and urgency for the next 10 minutes or so.

Wolves were the first to reinject some life into the game as Traoré dropped deep to create opportunities again, the first putting Doherty into space before Jiménez went through the middle and had a fierce effort blocked by van Dijk.

In first-half stoppage time, Salah went on a mazy run through the heart of the Wolves defence and managed to get enough space on his left to unleash a shot on goal, blocked by Matt Doherty (£6.1m).

Salah picked up where he left off in the second half, catching Traoré in possession and smashing a powerful left-footed shot across the Wolves goal, stopped only by a sprawling Patrício save.

Naturally, the start to the second period stretched the game which played right into the hands of Wolves and the pace of Traoré.

He began to find more space down the right-hand side of Wolves’ attack and, in textbook fashion, his 51st-minute inch-perfect cross into the box, found Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) in space, who leapt up to place a glancing header beyond Alisson (£6.1m).

Such a morale-boosting goal thoroughly put the wind into Traoré’s sails. For a relatively prolonged spell, Traoré began completely terrorising Liverpool down his side, with Robertson eventually having to bring him down on the edge of the box, picking up a yellow card in the process.

Traoré almost scored a bit later, finding space to blast across goal, forcing a vital save from Alisson.

Liverpool struggled to respond to this shift in the game, perhaps all too aware of the danger of being caught out on the counter-attack by Traoré. Even after the shackles were put back on Traoré to some extent, they were more reticent moving forward.

It took until the 60th minute for their next real chance, which fell to Minamino after a cross from Salah. His effort was blocked, the rebound falling to Firmino, who could only drive the ball low towards an already floored Patrício for a routine recovery by the goalkeeper.

Wolves kept up the pressure with Jiménez played in by Traoré in the 67th minute, shooting from a wide-angle and drawing a save from Alisson’s face.

However, Liverpool still managed to dig out a victory from this tough position.

Henderson played Salah in for another chance just short of the 70th minute and the Egyptian, as ever, worked himself into a position where he could smash it with his left foot. This effort ended just wide, the latest that will have left his Triple Captainers with their head in their hands.

As predicted as a possibility in the build-up to the Double Gameweek, it was away-day specialist Firmino who won the tie in the end.

He had two glorious chances in the closing stages, the first the Brazilian missed and the second buried.

He was played through one-on-one with the goalkeeper in the 81st minute and fired a low effort at goal, when he arguably should have gone for the chip – Patrício making a good stop with his legs.

But as stoppage time approached, Firmino found himself in space once again, played through by Henderson and rifled his latest effort into the top corner for all three points.

It may well be half-time in the Double Gameweek, but as things stand, those who went with either Firmino or Alexander-Arnold currently have the advantage in the Triple Captaincy debate.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho (Gibbs-White 87′), Doherty; Neto (D Jota 77′), Jiménez, Traoré.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Fabinho 70′); Mané (Minamino 32′), Firmino, Salah (Origi 85′).

    Vardy to.....?

    A) Jimmy

    B) Auba

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why the rush? Vardy may well be back next game

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

      That will likely backfire but all luck anyway

    Bottomed, sorry.

    Hovering around the 1m mark so considering wildcarding in a bid to climb the rankings:-

    McCarthy/Button

    VVD/TAA/Lund/Williams/Tanganga

    Salah/KDB/Traoré/Grealish/Hayden

    Auba/Aguero/Ings

    Thoughts please.

    Thanks.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Good team. Most had a bad DGW so don't wildcard based on that. Plenty of weeks and chips to improve and WC better around a bigger DGW.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m in the same position and going to wildcard. Seems too late to leave it until the doubles in 34 or later, need to try and gain some ground before then.

      I like your first 11 but have you used bench boost? I’d be wary of the defenders barring the pool ones you have, they aren’t nailed and better options in Southampton and even Watford defenders. I might have DCL and Mahrez over your aguero and grealish and then upgrade rest of the team so have few options if I want to bench boost

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

        Great points guys, thank you.

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Your WC team will almost certainly do worse than your current team so stick

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

        You don’t even know what his current team is

  3. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This week I did:
    Abraham & Son -> Maupay & Mane (-4).
    Currently: 5 + 7 vs 2 + 1 -4, for a loss of 13 points.

    Every transfer I make seems to lose points immediately!!

    1. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Transfers for the immediate week, especialy for a hit, rarely pay off. Need to look again a few weeks later and then see if the hit was justified.

  4. Akshatjazz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is mane > Salah , vardy > auba & , Maddison > grealish worth for a hit (-4) ??

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No.

      Chelsea wouldnt keep a clean sheet against a drunken 5 a side team.

      Vardy may be back and Maddison was close to get a return. I'm giving them one more week rather than take a hit.

      1. Akshatjazz
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        So wat abt mane??

        Klopp has hinted that he would be out of 2 games

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Mane to Salah makes sense if confirmed out for a while.

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

    Really thinking of early WC

    Ryan Button
    TAA lund Stephens Kelly Ricardo
    KDB Mane Maddison Grealish Dendo
    Vardy DCL Firmino

    Could probably keep treading water without it but the rank is going nowhere

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

      I’d do it, got a similar team and hit the button. I can’t hang around 1m all season, need to try and gain some ground now

  6. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sane and Mane 1pt TC consecutive seasons.... unite!!

    Oi oi

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep thats me.

      We should fund support group somewhere.

      Next year tempted to play my TC in GW1 so I can put myself out of the mysery

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Just don't Triple cap a player ending with "ane" this season

        ...however tempting Kane might become

        1. el polako

      Same here. Kane 3 pointer the year before that!

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

    With Vardy and Mane injured I am may be looking at a mini WC... what would you do?

    Hedno
    Sidibe TAA Soy
    Kdb Mane Salah Traore
    DCL Vardy Ings

    Lund, Cantwell, Kelly 1.7, 2FT

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’d wait a week until you know the extent of the injuries

      1. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        This.

    2. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, Mane out, soy out, sidibe out

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

    Quite happy to have forgotten to play my TC. The highest scorer will no doubt be some random hatrick with an assist or 2. But who? Kun ALWAYS lets me down in these situations. It's gonna be some random like wood, I just know it.

    1. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you mean across the whole season it might well end up being that Trent haul against Leicester.

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

        No mate, I just meant a one off GW/DGW

        1. CC22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, that’s how I meant. I suspect highest individual score may well be Trent’s 24 against Leicester...which I suspect basically nobody will have used the TC chip on!

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Most overrated chip anyway, average points gain is probably 7-10pts

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

        True, I think u always expect more with DGW points. Never happens though

  9. FCSB

    What to do here comrades?

    Henderson
    TAA Lundstram Dunk
    Mane Salah KDB Grealish

    With a serious lack of options everyone’s teams are going to be very similar.

    1. Party time
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, absolutely. Captain picks will be very interesting in the upcoming gws

      • Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        There’s loads of options. Not many have Aubameyang son Mahrez Perez even. Salah and aguero are also not that high currently but that’ll probably change

      • WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yep pointless wildcarding atm

    2. Wally banter
      • 11 Years

      So how much rank are we expected to fall, being a mane tc
      Just salah, taa owner after westham mayhem :/

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Salah will end few seasons.

        1. Wally banter

          Im about 20ish, which definitely gonna happen, if its 200kish i should stop this stupid game.. such a mood breaker

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

            Yeh I’ve been hovering around 1 million up until 6 weeks ago. Was a little fed up, couldn’t move anywhere.
            Then decided to take a few punts and then play WC to change things up. Now 450k

            It’s all ups and downs. No doubt I’ll have another down. Lol

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't understand the mad rush to sell Vardy.. doesn't look like a serious injury by Brendon's comments.. Leicester are still playing well and Vardy tends to do well in the " tougher teams"... Easy hold for me

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        He wasn’t even injured at NY according to BR

        Missed two games

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        That is a myth

      3. Babit1967

        I just refer having aguero so that was my reason for shipping

    4. Stoic
      • 7 Years

      Lack of midfielders in the game rn with the fixtures and all

      1. Party time
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Gotta say I love it this way tbh 😆 It makes thes game a little bit more fun

        • The 12th Man
          • 10 Years

          We will just have to get creative.

          1. Stoic
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I guess. Looks like I'll be getting in 3/5 of Grealish, Traore, Fleck, Trossard and Redmond

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

        Think I’ll be eventually moving to Liverpool defence.
        How do these moves look over a few weeks?

        Mane > Traore
        DCL,Deeney > Jimenez,Aubamayang
        Digne > Gomez

      3. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think I will use my WC now, still have the free hit for blank GW31 and can probably get 15 dgw players for GW37.

      4. BNMC

        Seriously considering bench boosting early, this cannot go any more bad

        1. BNMC
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I bench boosted last week just to get it over with. Only 9 points!

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Gw 26 is not a bad option if you load up on saints and sheff Utd

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

        Glad I used my TC in GW 1 now. All that agonising over who to TC in a DGW for it to go wrong again. Sane for me last year.
        Took all the worry away.

        1. BNMC
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Salah and Sterling both killed it in GW1. Did you TC one of them?

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

            Salah.
            Couldn’t look past that Norwich game. Had Sterling too.

          • 12 Years

          Overrated chip so anything above 10pts is a success

          1. BNMC
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            In both of my 2 seasons playing FPL so far my TC has failed.
            I mean it's not over for Mane yet but realistically he won't play vs WHU.

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

              Why would they risk injuring him further?
              Too many important champions league games coming up. I’d rest him.

      8. Ady87
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Disappointed I bottled the Firmino TC I said on here I was going to do. All 7 league goals away, now make that 8. The stats said it was a fair decision but tried to play it safe. And that’s why I’m having my worst season yet!

        Can I get some thoughts on this WC?

        What do you think? Team value is low!

          Wish I had two KDBs but one of them is Martial.

          I suppose thats the template WC now that Mane/Vardy's legs fell off

          1. Ady87
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, I think I can mask my TV issues bu the fact I don’t need to necessarily afford Vardy/Rash/Tammy and even potentially a Liverpool mid double up.

            Don’t think I’m going to make great ground up though but I can’t see many other picks.

              • 14 Years

              There are differentials....just look for them...

        3. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Needs Jimenez

            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Just about to say this.

          Looks like a lot of other teams currently. Are you trying to consolidate or climb ranks? Lund lost his place or just rested? Kelly will lose his place soon. Hayden to fleck. Don’t like martial, like Mahrez and Aubameyang for low ownership

          1. Ady87
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for the direction, I’m going to weigh up a 442 with Auba and Aguero and see what I can come up with, or potentially Jimi over DCL as DCL was a short term pick.

        Remember that before next GW there are fixtures in Carabao cup & FA cup

        Well worth the wait to see exactly how the land lies

        Own Vardy/Martial/Mane/Haller/DCL who is priority to sell? Or is -4 needed?

        Only have value tied up on vardy(bought for 8.9) rest not much value tied up.

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          sell the injured players

        2. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Obviously one of Mane and Vardy if they are confirmed out. Sell Haller after Brighton.

          Don't know why you want to sell Martial and DCL, I'd keep them for now.

          1. FDMS All Starz
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Martial - Utd cant seem to score these days

            DCL - bad fixtures

          2. Utopsis
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            You only needed to watch the full match v Burnley to understand why Martial is pants...

        3. NOMONEY
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          vardy rumoured to be ok, mane id hold if not out for too long

          haller is the one you need to sell with them fixtures

          why DCL?

          1. FDMS All Starz
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Dcl fixtures are really bad

      11. LucasPodolski
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Mahrez or Martial ?

        1. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Martial nailed but can’t finish his dinner at the minute. Mahrez blanked so by pep logic that means he gets another game next week. Tough one.

          1. LucasPodolski
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks!

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Mahrez easily

      12. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That second after you wake up and before you remember you triple captained Salah and he did F all. Enjoyed that.

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Really should have scored. Had a lot of good chances.

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            he had so so many chances....

        2. ritzyd
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Even worse when you realise his 2 points already beats your last two TC's of Sane and Kane 😀

        3. BNMC
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He scored double Mane's points!

        4. Unliklinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          And yet not the worst pick for obvious reasons, and with the easier fixture still to come...

      13. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Auba (bur, NEW, EVE) or Aguero (tot, WHU, lei) for the next 3?

        1. Wally banter
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Kun if you can afford

        2. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero due to form, looks rampant.

        3. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          both

          😉

          1. Karan14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Will have a tinker on WC to see if I can fit both.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              ...just make sure Auba is not off to Barca...

              1. Karan14
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Yup next gameweek starts on 1st Feb after deadline day so should be good.

                I definitely want Aguero & Jimenez.
                3rd striker is between Auba/Ings/Deeney.

        4. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Im going with Auba, he will score goals, less chance of rotation and nicer fixtures

        5. NOMONEY
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          auba, better fixtures and nailed

          1. Christina.
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            nailed? Not is he plays for Barca

        6. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero can probably outscore Auba's 3 GW points in the match against West Ham if he starts.

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

        saw a lot of potential mane TC fails here..

        brought back the memories of aguero(TC) last season in dgw32 with the fixtures of fulham (away) and cardiff (home). anyone remember how it ended?

        kun did score once before going off injured in the 57th min in the 1st game and missed the 2nd game entirely

        a grand total of 5pts x3 = 15pts

      15. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Down in the dumps after Vardy and Mane (TC) injuries. Can't do anything about it now though, think the best thing is to give myself a 1 week football break and see how things look next friday. Well done to all you Firmino captainers out there!

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Feck em, I'm a sore looser (Mane TC).
          Hoping for Red Cards\no shows\ injuries\ army duties for Firminio, Salah & TAA before West Ham game.

            Obviously inside I am boiling with rage, bitterness and a desire for vengeance - but I thought outwardly I would try being philosophical about it 🙂

            1. el polako
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Fair enough 🙂

              I just cant go all Gandhi like even if i try.

              Angry little polack.

        2. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Nearly everyone owns Mane and Vardy so it’s the same for everyone

          I hope everyone sells now, it gets confirmed they are fit and they haul huge

          1. Lanley Staurel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Its 63% of the top 10k.

      16. FDMS All Starz
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agueros fixtures not putting people off? I know City can score against anyone on their day but are there better options? Will Kun not get rotated?

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          First 3 are good. Can sell after that.

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            1-3 is not better than 4-6 imo

            1. Karan14
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              4 will be a blank and CL will kick in after that so 1-3 is defo better.
              Spurs, Lei & West Ham all are struggling right now defensively.

        2. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Fixtures don’t matter for city when they play well

          I went to spurs vs city last year - you’d think that was a reasonably tough fixture. City could have quite easily scored 10

      17. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Could I get by with holding Mane for SOU? I feel like selling him for Salah is just burning a transfer.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Why would you keep a £12m player who isn't playing and is losing value?
