What impact has new formation had on Targett and Villa’s defence?

Aston Villa’s recent formation change has had an impact on budget left-back Matt Targett (£4.4m).

As Villa continue to battle relegation from the Premier League, manager Dean Smith has adopted a 3-4-3 formation over the last few weeks.

He debuted the new system in the Gameweek 21 trip to Burnley, which produced a 2-1 win, and has used it ever since.

It has mostly featured Kortney Hause (£4.4m), Tyrone Mings (£4.5m) and Ezri Konsa (£4.3m) in the back-three, Targett has started the last three as the left wing-back since returning from an injury, while Frédéric Guilbert (£4.4m) has been the favourite on the right-hand side.

During this five-match period, Villa have won twice, drawn once and lost on two occasions. Those seven points have gone some way to helping Villa beat the drop, although there is still a long way to go.

Either way, it looks as if the 3-4-3 system is here to stay and, thankfully, it seems as if it may have unlocked the potential of Targett.

    Here’s too hoping all spurs and southampton come through tonight unscathed.

    will you be replacing Grealish for his blank and tough fixture after?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I planned for this all season by never bringing him in.

    2. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. He needs to go so I can field 11 players. Barnes, Perez and Traore on my radar

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Selling him for Traore most likely.

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, keeping super Jack.

    5. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of trading to Son this week

    6. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes most likely.

    7. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how many I have blanking. Might replace with Traore

    8. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping

    9. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Subject to performances and injuries - he stays for now. GW28 seems like a good time to switch for another asset in the bracket with a fixture and better fixtures.

    10. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted to for Saint-Maximin

    11. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a bit annoying that we won't know before then whether he has a fixture in 31.

  3. JasonG123

    Grealish to Son or save FT?

    1. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save FT

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Save and keep grealish imo

    2. Party time
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Save

      • Scholes Out For Summer

        Already did this transfer to beat the price rise previously

      Hey guys need your expert advice for improving this team:

      McCarthy
      TAA Robertson Lundstram
      KDB Salah Maddison KDB Grealish
      Vardy Ings Maupay

      McGovern Soy Cantwell Kelly

      1FT 0.5 ITB

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You need to get a cheap defender this week and then next week Maupay to Jimenez. Not sure if you have the money for it

        1. AC Yew
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nope cnt do Maupay to Jimenez unfortunately unless I lose Vardy which I'm not keen on.

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why double KDB? One not enough?

        1. Two Popes and a Gazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          This guy.

        2. AC Yew
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Lol 2nd KDB is actually Cantwell! Haha

          1. AC Yew
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Cantwell already on the bench. Team is messed up lol

            1. Two Popes and a Gazza
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Time to ship the Lord?

              Alternatively, Maddison+Maupay > Jimenez+Fleck?

    4. Rushford
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would you do Vardy + Lund -> Ings + VVD for a hit?

      Don’t trust any of my alternatives in defense (Rico, Soy) so think VVD can make up for the hit in one GW. Guess it comes down to Vardy vs Ings. Could also do Lund to another from SHU

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy has a great fixture gw28 I would keep.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          What's your Bridget for a defender ?

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pussetto was just added and his price has already dropped 😀

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who does he play for ?

      2. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        My one FPL wish is for price change transparency

      3. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And there are players dropping 25% ownership and 0.1 in value... weird game.

    6. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The article above is open for all non members too.
      Just read it all.

      Basically saying that if you have Targett, hold him.
      If you don’t own him. Don’t bother getting in.
      His link up play with Grealish and touches in final third is great. But defence (although showing signs of improvement since formation was tweaked) is still dodgy.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think maybe after having Mings for so long, I do not plan on getting any Villa defense back for the rest of the season..

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          All the attacking play is down the left side. Where Targett and Grealish play.

          Mings to Targett could make sense, if you have a luxury transfer available

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Targett is a key attacking outlet on that wing. However I can't see him out scoring the cheapies at Sheffield or the Newcastle centre backs.

            1. Whats the Huth
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I agree

    7. Jam0sh

      Hello guys. Would you save a FT here?

      Ryan,

      TAA, Lundstram, Soyuncu
      Salah, KDB, Traore, Grealish
      DCL, Aguero, Vardy

      subs: Button --- Rico, Kelly, Cantwell --- 1 FT, 1.3 ITB

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lundy, Soy, Kelly & Rico need to go.
        Definitely get a defender.

        1. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers. Lundstram probably then first to go

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Soy can stay compared to the rest, good fixtures lay ahead

    8. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      In BGW28,

      A. Play Mooy
      B. Grealish to Mane for free

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mane would be a great differential imo. But, I dont think he will play a major part for the game sadly. Maybe just cameo appearance tho. I might be wrong tho

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          In GW28?

        2. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You don't think he's fit for 28? Many are saying he could be back for Norwich.

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

        B

      3. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm planning to do B. But things change quickly in FPL.

      4. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B for sure

    9. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think mahrez will start against westham?

      Should i sell vardy and mahrez to deulofeu and son?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Apparently Sterling is injured, so probably.

      2. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep

        He'll na

      3. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don't sell Mahrez this GW

      4. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm considering Martial to Mahrez still, but I do have to fix at least a defender.
        Any thoughts here?

        1. Dosh
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Considering Martial or Maddison to Mahrez. His chances of starting are good now with Sterling out.

        2. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          But anyway don't do that move imo

        3. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I feel u shld jus sell martial for mahrez. Martial sux

      1. Konstaapeli

        Sounds good

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do it.

      3. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ox? Nice. Not a common sight here.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Guessing he was the Mane replacement punt, hence the amount of cash in the bank.

    11. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      0FT 0.8 ITB GTG? Kelly to go next GW.

      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I want to do Kelly/Lundy to bellerin for free

      Is there any risk for bellerin play time? Any better players to bring?

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Think he's safe for now. But I think Cedric was bought so Bellerin won't have to play twice a week.

      2. Two Popes and a Gazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal do have a blank coming up.
        Maybe Stephens?

        1. Bubbles1985
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Saints Stephen's?

        2. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Good point

      3. Begbie.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't go near Arsenal defenders personally. Leicester, Burnley, Sheffield United all have defenders in that price range or even Gomez at Liverpool.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think arsenal are a very good choice for clean sheets now. Arteta has toughened them up. They will concede less than utd, Leicester and burnley. Similar to Sheffield I reckon

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            This

      4. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Excellent pick wish I had him.
        Aurier another gem.

      Advice on which way to go?
      Looking to replace Mane but still keep a pool triple-up.

      A) Mane + DCL > Firmino + Barnes
      B) Mane + Lundstrom > Son + Gomez

        Nothing official yet, looks like he is back from Spain.

          Brilliant
          Reckon we’ll get some news before deadline?

          1. Begbie.
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Unlikely imo. Liverpool's pre match press conference will be like a week after the deadline.

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              This

            If their is a press conference on Friday, then we will get some update. Otherwise nope :/

              Game is next week though ....
              This is a weird GW tbh

    15. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

      Wildcard or not?

      Schmeichel Button
      TAA Lundy Williams Rico Kelly
      Salah KDB Martial Traore Dendo
      Kun Vardy Deeney

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years

        just sell Lundy or kelly

    16. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not an easy decision this week with the GW deadline 9 days before the final game!

      I only have Traore flagged but will be pissed if someone else gets a niggle during next week!

    17. balint84
      • 7 Years

      Tanganga or Tarkowski?

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tanganga best value player in the game

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          2 point merchant and not even nailed... Good 5th defender though.

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Depends if you need that 5th defender in GW28.

            1. balint84
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              wannabe Lundy replacement

        2. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think so! With BGWs, DGWs, high rotation due to other competitions, you need a pretty nailed player on your bench too! Tanganga not completely nailed!

    18. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just thinking about keeping the armband on Mo or are KDB and Auba better options this week?

      (Don't have Sergio)

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mo

    19. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just so I'm clear on how GW31 could play out,

      Tonight's replay;

      If Sou win;

      Tot v WHU will be confirmed for GW31 tonight.

      Then Sou v Nor in FA cup R5;

      If Sou beat Norwich - Nor v Eve in GW31 confirmed.
      If Nor beat SOU - likely no added games in 31 as SOU are scheduled to play ARS in 31 (who should be beating Portsmouth in R5 of the cup you have to assume).

      If Tot win tonight;

      No confirmed games for 31 added tonight.

      Tot v Nor in R5;

      Meaning either...

      Tot v Whu
      or
      Nor v Eve

      ...Will have to be confirmed for 31, but we won't know which until after the R5 game (which will be before GW29 - Mar 5-6)

      Correct?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, thats how things will work

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks mate.

          Last night didn't go as I hoped, so let's see if Saints can help me out tonight.

          Do you have a GW31 plan yet, or too early for you?

            No special plans yet. Initial thought is to navigate 31 with transfers if possible and use FH in 34.

            Fortunately/Unfortunately, I have all chips available, one has to be used in single GW.

              I also hoped to navigate 31 with transfers, it might come down to Liverpool v Chelsea R5 game.

              Liverpool playing in GW31 gives me an extra 4 players (w/ Zaha). And I'm not about to start transferring Liverpool players out of my team now.

              I've got no Tot, Eve, or Nor players currently, and the WHU players I have, I'd rather not have for the next few weeks....all in all, it's a pickle!

                If there are only 4-5 games excluding Liverpool, then not going to play FH, will go with only 5-6 players 😀

                Didn't wanted to get Jimenez but I guess he will have to come.

                Hopefully we get Newcastle game as well

                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  I'm looking at a worst case scenario, which is actually not that unlikely really, of only three games...and I'll have two players,
                  Jimenez and Charlie Taylor!

                  I could probably bring in a few squad players over the next few weeks with FTs (Lundstram needs to go anyway)
                  Do you really think it's better to play 31 with only 5/6 players, to be able to play FH on a DGW?

                  1. Kabayan
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    I think FH in 37 is better (for my team) atm.

                    1. HamezMace
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      Depends how the fixtures break down in the latter stages, but I'd rather use FH in the first double, then WC the week before the 2nd double (BB in that DGW).

                      FH in 31, given the fixtures we know (and can expect) just feels so uninspiring.

                      I'm going to become an honorary Chelsea fan for one night in March....and a Saints fan tonight.

            Pool losing would have been very helpful ....

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Absolutely!

              As I've just said to Holmes above, I think the decision to FH in 31 will now come down to Liverpool v Chelsea in R5.

              Which makes my transfer plans over the next few weeks very difficult.

              1. Kabayan
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                If Liverpool wins against Chelsea, will you use FH?

                1. HamezMace
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Probably.
                  Although reluctantly, as my post below suggests. 🙂

              2. Amey

            FH in GW31 is the obvious play, but the judicious use of FTs should also work if you have a big player (ie Liverpool) in the mix. However, If Liverpool and Spurs progress in the Cup, I doubt that the PL pickings in GW will be worth using the FH chip.

            1. HamezMace
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              This is the double whammy of the situation.

              If we're looking at GW31 of;

              Wol v Bou
              Bur v Wat
              ...Nor v Eve (for example)

              Who would be excited about FH'ing that week.....Fraser (for nostalgia) Wilson, Ake, Deeney/Deufeulo, Pukki and Cantwell, Richarlison....wow.

              I'd rather use my FH when the top teams have a DGW, but if the fixtures above are what we get I'd only have two players currently.

      Wildcarders...

      Who is your fifth mid?

      I’m thinking Cantwell as he’ll probably need to play in BGW’s & BB.

        Latest Scoutcast covers alot of wildcard issues. Worth watching.

        I'm wildcarding currently and my fifth midfielder is not Cantwell.

          I probably made a mistake with my 5th midfielder on WC last week because now I have a benching headache.
          My 5th midfielder is Traoré.
          Wouldn't repeat my mistake at least.

        2. davies

          Will give it a watch

          Who is it?

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years

        Fleck

          This

    21. Fernando Torres

      Chances of Lord starting next game?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's unlikely.

        Berge is their record signing, and was clearly identified as Lundstram, as much as we love him, wasn't coping well the demands of the PL...often having to be subbed off early.

        SHU haven't broken their transfer record for a squad player - and he plays in Lundstram position.

        Wilder comments about how impressed he was with Lundstram, were more the kept motivation in the squad, and also let Berge know his place isn't guaranteed.

        ....I know people won't like hearing this, but I'm afraid it doesn't look good for Lundstram.

        1. Fernando Torres
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, was wondering if the comments meant he might start some and next couple of fixtures are easier than others.

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I mean it might, but personally I don't think so.
            If anything he'd probably prefer a new signing, who is new to the league to play the so called easier games, to get up to speed.

      2. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Very low. So should not start - you can keep him but don't start and bring his replacement from SHU defense after 28

    22. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Guys what are the confirmed fixtures on gw31?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Currently,

        Wol v Bou
        Bur v Wat,

        But see my post above for more info.

    23. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDB to Mane before 28?? Yes or no. Have salah and son

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

    24. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why Hayden was subbed vs Nor?
      Any risk he lost his spot as he was also benched last night and it looked as New put their strongest XI.

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is Bentaleb competition for his place, I assume so? and if so, it's only a case of getting up to full fitness, and then he'll be first choice.

    25. No Pirlo No Party
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Where best to use the 2FT's this week?

      Ryan - Button
      TAA - Robertson - Lundstram - Holgate - Stephens
      Salah - KDB - Martial - Grealish - Dendoncker
      Vardy - DCL - Ings

      2FT with £0.7 in the bank

      1. CONNERS
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just swap Lund to another Sheff U defender and bank the other FT.

    26. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lundstram to:

      A) Stephens/Bertrand
      B) Boly/Doherty
      C) Fernandez/Lascelles

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        All great options. For me, Boly as a set+forget, but the others in rotation (New at home for example). Doherty is a filthy punt, but Boly is such decent value.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          *filthy good fwiw 🙂

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah - think I am leaning towards the Wolves boys as they play in 31 which is a bonus. Doherty has spurned 5 big chances recently which makes me think a huge haul could be round the corner.

      2. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B

      3. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B

    27. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ryan
      TAA Holgate Soyuncu
      Salah Martial Traore KDB
      Vardy Auba Ings
      Button Lundstram Kelly Dendo
      1.9itb 1ft

      Keen to bolster up on the Mci-whu game. In addition to a defensive move, are either worth a hit?
      A. Martial to Mahrez (only short-term)
      B. Auba to Kun (then switch to Jimi)

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A seems a bigger upgrade, especially with Sterling out (though there is a blank) - Mahrez could easily hit double figures (but thought he would against Spuds too)

    28. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is Targett his generation's Luke Chadwick?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Destined to see out his career in Milton Keynes?

        For his sake, I hope so.

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Glad he is playing regularly in Prem again. Thought he was destined to always be 2016's Matt Targett.

      3. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Saw him play loads at Saints. Great going forward, good crosser and striker of the ball but cant defend if his life depended on it. Sort of essential being a defender.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Bale 2.0?

      Hi community!

      I'm trailing in my main ML by about 80 points. I made 50 points up over January with a somewhat template team. With fixtures turning for number of teams I'm not sure whether its time to wild card.

      Current team
      Button/Pope
      VVD/TAA/Soy/Lund/Rico
      Salah/KDB/Grealish/Trarore/Martial
      Vardy/DCL/Greenwood

      3.6m in the bank (1FT)

      Potenial W/C
      Mcarthy/Pope
      TAA/Rico/O'conell/Boly/ Lascelles
      Salah/KDB/Mooy/Hayden/Richarlison*
      Aguero*/Vardy/Ings

      After this week i would swap out Aguero and Richarlison for Mane and Jiminez.

      Looks like a weak defence but Sheff U are top 6 worthy in the sense of defencive returns and Bolys return hopefully should sure up wolves defence.

      Any thoughts from the community would be great!

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think you can carry on with that for another week or two at least. What is it that has allowed you to catch up recently? Mo (c)?

        1. payetisgod
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks mate, Mo and more so double pool defence! Feel like ive rode the luck train on that for long enough!

          The leader also owns Aguero which for this upcoming week could be a worry!

          Do you think the W/C team is too weak?

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Just go 3 Liv from the get go - don't want to be booking in immediate transfers on a WC.
            Mo (c) and 2 x Liv def should work out pretty well this week too.

            1. payetisgod
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers mate, you've twisted my arm to hold onto the WC for a bit longer!

              Might just go DCL > Ings and Martial > Mahrez pending Sterling news!

              With west ham being so poor only having KDB makes me a bit concerned!

              1. Fulchester's New Centr…
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Mahrez and KDB vs WHU and Mo (c) and defencice double-up should be enough for a decent week this week (I hope).

                1. payetisgod
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  excellent - cheers for the advice mate!
