    Saka>Havertz for a hit?

    1. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

    2. C'mon the Fylde
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It could bite you.
      Havertz is a risk, based on hope. There are no stats to base anything on.

    Hmm. I’m at work and we are showing the game. Probably the only game I get to see. Thing is I have both my Arsenal assets benched. Hmm, maybe I should play one.

    2. Twisted Saltergater

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It does help as I think Villa will score too.
        Thanks.

  21. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years

    1. Stranger Mings

      1. 1984 TC
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ole will have 11 players around Salah whenever he has the ball.

  22. mash
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I'm benching both, but who should be first in line?

    A) Livramento
    B) Tierney

  23. acidicleo
    • 7 Years

    Jota
    Greenwood

  25. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Cap Salah or Vardy?

  26. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Whisper it softly...

    Toney has better odds to score than Vardy

  27. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah(c) Foden Mbeumo Raphinha
    Vardy Antonio Jimenez

    Foster Livramento Brownhill Duffy

    0FT, 1.5 itb

    Is this good to go? Lineup OK?

    Even with the news it’s hard to play a defender over Jimenez…

    Thanks
