            Clearly flicked onto Matip of KWP, unlucky salty none Matip owners

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 16 days ago

                Matip non owner, very clear kwp heads it first onto Matips head who scores

                Matip goal

                  Well said and I agree

              Back to back goals from my boy Matip. What a man

              One needs to go for Sessignon if I bring Kane in- who would you move out?

              A Cancelo
              B James
              C Robertson

              1. Mr. O'Connell
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 16 days ago

                Difficult to answer that right now. I'd just ignore Kane and use the FTs somewhere else if that's your only way to get him.

                Tough one
                A I think most likely to concede
                B could play RCB but lots of upside if not
                C seems likely to start now Tsimikas has played

              Anyone with 3 of Trent/Robbo/Virgil & Salah ?
              How are your benches looking ?

                  I don't if I believe you
                  Why didn't you start maybe at least 2 v Watford ?

                I have Trent Robbo - sold Salah for vardy. My bench is…not that great…Odegaard Havertz Laporte.

              Get in!! TC Matip punt! (just going with the narrative on here whenever someone scores)

              ****. Just seen that Matip is my 2nd sub behind that useless Nketiah.

                Same. Let's just pretend he didn't score and be pleased the title race is still on.

              8.4itb for a mid (-4). My attack is Son, Saka, Martinelli/Cout on bench. Vardy, Jesus.

              Looking at Mount, Maddison, Barnes, Kulu, Bowen, Diaz, Jota? On Mads atm...

              What a legend Matip - both fellas I'm chasing have TAA and I WD'ed Trent out for Super Joel

              I seriously hope for a Diaz sub appearance. But the way my season is going, won't happen.

              Goals on the bench really annoy

              So annoying, my first FH draft had Matip, Maddison & Vardy in..
