Bamford bags again as Sheffield United remain without a goal ahead of tough fixture run

SHEFFIELD UNITED 0-1 LEEDS UNITED

  • Goals: Patrick Bamford (£5.7m)
  • Assists: Jack Harrison (£5.5m)
  • Bonus:  Illan Meslier (£4.5m) x3, Bamford x2, Harrison x1, Luke Ayling (£4.5m) x1

The Patrick Bamford (£5.7m) bandwagon is set to continue rolling after the Leeds forward’s late headed goal saw the Whites triumph in Sunday’s Yorkshire derby.

In a pre-planned link-up the striker nodded home a Jack Harrison (£5.5m) cross, having put two headed efforts wide in the opening half.

“This one came off my nose but I’ll take it! I was a bit disappointed I didn’t score a header in the first half.

“Before the game I said to Jack, I’m going between the middle centre-back and the far one so put the ball there. First half he did it, I didn’t score.

“Second half he did it, I got the goal. Fair play to him for putting it on the money.” – Patrick Bamford

Having highlighted Leeds’ lack of creativity in the opening two Gameweeks, Marcelo Bielsa was happier with his side’s build-up play at Bramall Lane:

It was a just result. The first half was pretty even, we could have scored and conceded. Second half was a lot better for us.

We managed to attack well, we had six or seven opportunities. In that sense, the offensive animation was better.

While Leeds have scored eight times on the way to earning six Premier League points, Sheffield United have neither a point nor a goal to their name with three Gameweeks gone.

The Blades face trips to Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, along with a visit from Manchester City, in the next five Gameweeks.

“We’ll be glad to see the back of September. Fresh start in October at Arsenal away. I can’t fault a lot of the things the players have done this afternoon. It was a really tight game.

“I’ve been told you gave the man-of-the-match award to the Leeds United goalkeeper; we’ve got to take our chances in the Premier League. That’s the top and bottom of it.” – Chris Wilder

As Wilder alludes to, this game was almost a tale of two goalkeepers before Bamford’s late winner.

Aaron Ramsdale (£5.0m) – who was well on his way to a monster haul before conceding – racked up seven saves from a combination of good stops, poor finishing and long-range efforts.

While Illan Meslier (£4.5m) made three fewer saves, the Leeds keeper’s stops were arguably more impressive.

All the same, John Lundstram (£5.4m) will himself feel he should have rattled the net just shy of the half-hour mark.

The midfielder was afforded a big chance just before the half-hour mark, as Ben Osborn (£4.9m) broke to find David McGoldrick (£5.4m) in the box.

The striker’s flick arrived at Lundstram’s feet from six yards out but the midfielder was unable to convert as Meslier managed to push the close-range effort around the post.

The 20-year-old then somehow managed to get a rangy left hand to George Baldock‘s (£5.5m) stinger, produced after the wing-back had rolled Harrison to make shooting space in the area on 37 minutes.

Bamford had signalled his intent in the opening period, heading over twice from a Kalvin Phillips (£5.0m) free-kick and a Harrison cross.

Stuart Dallas (£4.5m), who saw a looping effort tipped over by Ramsdale in the first half, was almost on the scoresheet in the second period.

Ramsdale had Chris Basham (£5.0m) to thank for clearing a Dallas effort just before it went over the line.

The Leeds full-back had rounded the stranded stopper after a mistake from Ethan Ampadu (£4.5m) allowed the ball to run through.

A surging run from Dallas then saw subsitute Rodrigo (£5.9m) head wide, before Bamford just failed to connect with a whipped ball from Harrison with 20 minutes remaining.

The Blades almost took the lead from a late corner as Jack Robinson (£4.4m) skewed wide with his weaker right foot from point-blank range after Oli McBurnie (£5.9m) just about failed to get his head on the delivery.

Bamford then stole the show and all three points for Marcelo Bielsa’s men, with the striker earning praise from his manager post-match.

Asked about suggestions that the budget FPL forward might struggle at the top level, Bielsa responded:

There are a lot of people who thought contrary to what you say.

The league season is very long. Hopefully he can continue to show his obvious qualities.

The enigmatic Leeds boss was also pleased with his side’s first clean sheet in the league:

It is an achievement we were looking for, to not concede. I think we defended well, with few errors.

Having said that, our rivals did have opportunities. We grew.

On taking off Rodrigo, who had been brought on for the second half, Bielsa explained:

A few minutes were left, I had to substitute Bamford or Rodrigo. Bamford is a very useful player on set pieces against.

But it wasn’t a good decision because Bamford was tired. I should have kept Rodrigo on the field.

Wilder, for his part, is fretful over the Blades’ lack of sharpness in front of goal.

They found a bit of quality at the end. But I think it’s a foul on Sander Berge [in the build-up to the goal] yet again. I think there’s a couple of things that haven’t gone for us the last two or three games, from a decision point of view.

I’ve just seen Marcelo is going to walk right across me right now…no, he’s not, he’s swerved me because he might be on the receiving end of a tackle if he did!

We have to be more clinical. The best chances fell to us. From John Lundstram, George Baldock, Oli McBurnie, Jack Robinson. Four or five really good chances.

The first goal is so important in the Premier League, as we all know. I thought the shape of the team was good. We know how Leeds play, we understand how they play. High energy, high tempo. It was a really quick game.

When it opens up you have to take your chances; we haven’t. We ultimately get punished by a fantastic ball and a great header.

When you look at our goals or when we do create chances, they’re well worked. We haven’t got the players in the group to do something out of the ordinary. We have to really work hard to create our chances, which we did in the game.

After three consecutive defeats, Wilder is “hopeful” more signings will arrive before the transfer deadline:

The longer it [the losing run] goes on, it becomes more concerning. There’s still plenty of belief and fight in us.

Despite being taken off after 73 minutes, FPL midfielder Oliver Burke (£4.5m) put in a decent audition for FPL bosses seeking bench fodder.

The ex-West Brom winger had two shots, one inside the box, while creating three opportunities for his team-mates.

Defender Robinson might be one for the watchlist, with the left-footed centre-back possibly set for an extended run in Wilder’s defence due to Jack O’Connell‘s (£5.0m) knee injury:

“Things are not going for us at the moment. Obvious disappointment with Jack’s injury. Massive disappoint for the boy, he’s worked extremely hard to get to where he has and he’s been pivotal to our rise.

“He’s going for an operation on Wednesday, so minimum six months.” – Chris Wilder

    -8 for Castagne? Gets rid of Davies...

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit

    3. wilsonito
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep for me, could make that back in 1 GW alone and you’ll have other transfer priorities next week

      1. wilsonito
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Assuming it’s really just a -4 for that 1 transfer?

        1. The Mantis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It'd be for -8, already took a hit to get Son out - tempting still

  2. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Mitrovic could get some returns vs wolves?

    7 goals conceded in last 2 gws .

    There defence seems vulnerable all of a sudden.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      he is on penalties too. anyone on penalties can't be excluded for sure

    2. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes

    3. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      At this point I think anyone could get returns against anyone

  3. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    People still flock in Jimenez after yesterday WOL performance? This is a blip only?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ings and Vardy and the Everton duo looks better atm

    2. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I hope so as ive triple city and double wolves. What we can learn from Leeds and Southampton is that when things go wrong badly, they get sorted in the following weeks!

    3. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looking to upgrade Wilson to Jim this week, not concerned about one bad day!

    4. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      a lot of people brought jimi in before they even played, to avoid the werner drop, jimi rise.
      he's not going to own goal every week

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's 1 game and there was a reason I didn't bring him in before West Ham. (they have a habit of turning up when you don't expect them too) The next 4 fixtures look too good to resist.

    6. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I see the blank from jimenez as a bless in disguise as now some people will be put off

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would if I thought he was secure in starting.

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Tempted to double up with Maddison and Barnes in a 3 5 2

  6. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years

    Son + Mitchell -> Barnes + Digne for a hit? (have DCL and Castagne)

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just Son to Barnes, defenders not usually worth a hit

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate

  7. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    All the many many goals and Calvert-Lewin is my only player to score in two gameweeks, what a game, what a life.

    1. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No goals scored for my team in last two gameweeks!

  8. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    One week punt ahead of Wildcard next week, Dohetry > Castagne? Means would be running with:

    McCarthy

    Justin / TAA / Castagne / Bellerin

    Salah / KDB / rodriguez

    adams / jimenez / werner

    button / soucek / bissouma / mitchell

    or hold and have 2FT's for international break and keep the wildcard

    1. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice move

    2. KneejerkJoe
      • 9 Years

      Keep wc

  9. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    By the looks of how things are going i'll be going against the tide as well. Son to Havertz

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Decent punt

    2. puhd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wow

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Niiiice, was thinking similar, but also like Barnes

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

      Me too

    5. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid move good luck

  10. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    as a soucek and jiminez owner ,last night was a hefty clump in the knackers,crazy season ...

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      At least you got some points from that game!

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        good chance to whinge though,makes me feel at home...

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ouch

    3. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not to be pedantic but you actually gained a point as if the ball hadn't deflected it would have missed then Soucek blanks and Jimi still only gets 2pts anyway

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      As an Antonio & Saiss owner it felt like getting kicked in the stones when i went in an saw 4-0 with no Antonio involvement

  11. 2999 - Lady of Legend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    3 strikes and out for Doherty, looking to downgrade... Any chance of the old Doherty back?

    1. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      also an owner and think a downgrade is best.

      think doherty will still score well this season but think it will be less then his wolves days so therefore becomes a tad over priced

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would you still be looking to downgrade if he got a CS yesterday? Because Spurs should have got one. They look decent defensively and aside from the United game have some good fixtures coming up so I'd only downgrade if you have nothing else you can do.

      He's been close to attacking returns a few times too. Looked dangerous at the start of the Newcastle game but then admittedly didn't seem to do much for the rest.

      1. 2999 - Lady of Legend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Probably as want to upgrade elsewhere, fixtures do look good after Utd though!

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone interested in starting a movement "FPL Addicts Anonymous"?

    1. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      that will probably do more good for productivity than any "wellness" initiative run by HR departments

  13. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This is definitely not a gloat - still 3.3 million!
    But I was a little lucky this week:
    McCarthy
    TAA James CTaylor
    KDB Mane Bruno Soucek
    Werner Adams Wilson
    (Button Bissouma Mitchell Ayling)

    Am I good to save FT?
    or
    Wilson - Maupay?

    1. puhd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner out?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, I think I'll hold for one more. cheers

    2. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      keep werner he has 2 lovely fixtures next two games.

  14. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pls talk me out of a -8 hit.

    Son + Davis to Barnes + DCL ?

    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson KWP Taylor Justin
    KDB Salah Son* Foden (Anguissa)
    Jimenez Mitrovic (Davis)

    Is Son to Barnes for a hit worth it ?

    1. puhd
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would do those moveS

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        for a -8 ?

        1. puhd
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Taking a hit doesn’t scare me. You want to have guys in your team that’ll give you points mate

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Needs bruno

      1. Saka_me_sideways
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He was lucky to come away with anything Saturday, I wouldn’t be rushing in for him... and i own him!

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I don't understand why you'd set up your team structure as a 4-4-2 if you're then going to move away from it. I'd probably just go Son to Barnes and keep the money in the bank for now.

  15. puhd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best Son replacement?

    Have Sterling Salah Soucek Rodriguez

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes or Mahrez maybe

  16. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do

    A Son to Barnes/Mahrez
    B Son, Vassilev to soucek/Klich and Ings - 4

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son > Bruno

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Got Bruno already

  17. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will I get less than 50 points again with this team? I will not touch anything albeit 1.5M ITB as nothing worth thinkering in this chaos opening of the season:

    Ryan (Martinez)
    TAA Taylor Saiss Castagne (Mitchell)
    Salah KDB Rodríguez (Podence Burke)
    DCL Jimenez Woods

    1. Whiskerz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I dont like Wood. Other than that it looks a sound team.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Punt did not work, will ship in 2-3 GWs or moving to Rich? I have the money.

      300k 🙁

      1. fantasyfog

        I'd be very happy with that

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He knows full well it's a good rank...

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      4M+ and never been beyond 1M rank before as I can recall in 9-10 years playing this game

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Theres a long way to go...still hope

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Is it still? 😉

        2. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Very true. I was 3.7m last season in GW5 and finished top 5k. Plenty of time left

          1. fantasyfog
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            That must of felt good, how did you play it

            1. Rasping Drive
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Played a decent WC in GW6 (tripling on City when they hammered Watford at home); minimised hits from them on, got on players like Vardy, Son and Jimenez at the right times; project restart (I was 45k) went big on Sterling (c) which worked out great.

              I played my WC this week, had a mare, but like my squad, so will keep the faith. I think the beauty this year is having so many options but that brings it’s own problems. Resisting the temptation to keep jumping from one player to the next when your initial pick doesn’t work out is key.

        Good news is that if my team somehow starts performing, I should rocket up in no time 😆

        1. fantasyfog
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Only one way to go from there

    9. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      888k but still 3 players left including captain so hopefully that will get me a bit higher.

      Bumpy ride so far with 1.9M -> 343k -> 888k.

      300K but BB and WC1 played

      3.9m and I thought i started last season badly.

      Currently languishing behind the casuals in my mini leagues with non playing 4.5 mids in their starting XI.

      A tad disappointing.

    Amazing game week really. Can't stop laughing when I think about my Wolves double up yesterday 😆

    Luckily this is just a game

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      • 6 Years

      Agreed. I actually spent time wondering if Vinagre would play..

  20. thom830g
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son -> Rashford??

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno

      1. thom830g
        • 6 Years

        Hmm.. only got 9,5 to spend

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Do you have Soucek?

      1. thom830g
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No, but was not considering him because of their run of fixtures.

        0,5 ITB and 1 FT.

        My team is:

        McCarthy
        TAA - James - Saiss - Justin
        Salah - KDB - Son - Podence
        Wilson - Werner

        (4m - Che Adams - Vinagre - Bissouma)

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years

          This is a fine team.

  21. ymx
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy + Mitro + Ings
    OR
    Jimi + DCL + Ings???

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A looks tasty

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Prior to this week I would’ve said Jimmy and co
      Who knows anymore, still probably lean toward the same

  22. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Choose one:

    A) Son -> Barnes (free)
    B) Son/Mitchell -> Barnes/Digne (-4)
    C) Son/Brewster -> Barnes/Maupay (-4)

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A but to bruno otherwise B

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years

      I just did C myself

  23. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Saiss, Davies, Justin (Mitchell)
    Salah, KDB, Son, Podence (Bissouma)
    Werner, Ings (Davis)

    (A) Son --> Barnes

    (B) Son, Davis --> Trossard, Calvert-Lewin (move to a 3-4-3)

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno better pick otherwise B

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A Sir JimJam!

    Hopefully, Wilder panics and signs Brewster have him as my 4.5m gamble.

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      not much ooint signing a striker if you have no midfield

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Fair point! The blades look in serious trouble. No Henderson to save them either.

  25. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what you reckon guys Son and Werner to Bruno and ings worth it for a minus 4 dont like hits but got right money thanks in advance

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      like it

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers mate only just WC as well so be it ha ha

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, just Son

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yeah thinking about Son to Barnes but eventually want Bruno perhaps focusing to much on him to be fair

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like it. Not convinced on Bruno and Ings on average isn't going to score 4 points more than Werner in a one off GW.

  26. teneighty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will take a hit to get rid of Son and bring in Ings.

    Would you rather have Werner or Mitrovic next to Ings in a 3-5-2?

  27. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wood -> Ings (-4)?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not when Wood has Newcastle next

  28. ymx
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno
    DCL + Mitro + Ings
    OR
    (9.0 Mid)
    Vardy + Mitro + Ings
    ??

  29. G Banger
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Defence in a state with 1FT, what's the first fire to put out?

    a) Mitchell
    b) B.Davies
    c) Egan

    1. daffyp1982
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why is Mitchell a "fire" with that fixture run?

      1. G Banger
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Worried about him losing his space, but I guess that not imminent.

        b) or c) then 🙂

  30. Linca - TerribleFromKepa
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    WC this GW and it's been a disaster.

    Team as is ..1 ft 0.1 in bank

    Martinez (steer)
    TAA, Saiss, Lamptey (Taylor, Mitchell)
    KDB, Salah, Son, JRod, Podence
    Jime, DCL (Brewster)

    What to do with Son? Half tempted to go Son to Burke or Soucek and Brewster to Ings for a -4?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks fine - sell son for Barnes or Zaha

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade J Rod to use funds on Son > Bruno

    3. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      how can you wc Brewster in then take him out the next week before the poor lad even knows what club he'll be at? Poor man management is that

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Team is fine - no need to take a hit. Probably wait till closer to the deadline to make a decision on Son - are you losing TV on him if he drops or not?

      1. Linca - TerribleFromKepa
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nah picked him at 9.0 so won't lose out just yet

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Son out for Zaha maybe? And save cash.
      Wait and what happens Brewster.
