    Thoughts turn to captaincy next GW? If you’re not on lucky Mo who are you going for?

        My vc is Palmer. Could be tempted to go with him if he comes through midweek okay and the manager says he's good for the weekend.

      Who's more frustrating to own a) kudus b) rejinders

        Both I think. Spurs and City lots of attacking options of goals.

        Holding B as I don't think there is much option at that value.

          Yeh guess kudus has better alternatives

        If you bothered to check Wikipedia you would realise rejinders only getting a few goals a season. What were you expecting from him?

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 26 days ago

          He got 13 goals last season

                  Oh yes sorry my mistake.

                      2 months, 26 days ago

                      Although if you count only Europe and league it was 13

                        True. I am going to keep as hopefully can convert the chances he gets soon

          Sanchez,
          Chalobah, van de ven, reinildo
          Salah, Semenyo, Grealish, Reijnders
          Haaland, Pedro, Wood

          Dubravka, Hartman, King, Dorgu

          Swapped Johnson to Semenyo was the obvious option

          I'm guessing nothing else worth a minus 4 here.
