  3. CheesyZoot

    For Christ's sake, worst thing as a Coufal and Antonio owner....

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

      Yes... With a little bit of luck starting Coufal over S might have worked 🙁

  4. The Senate

    a 7-point Wilson goal would be just the jam I need right now

  5. diesel001

    Leeds goal getting peppered.

    Triple Everton and Leicester essential next week. These 2 teams are garbage.

  7. Rash

    Thought it was odd Raphinha price dropping but more fool the sellers.

      No DGW and blanked before that

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He dropped after the double didn't he?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Exactly. They always drop the GW after the DGW, as those extra few transfers to take him over the edge are made.
