    thoughts on keeping Eikiteke?

    Assuming he starts, I think he is still one of the better forward pick?

      When Thiago is right there it's really hard to justify paying the extra for a forward who is less nailed, has no pens and plays in a very hot and cold team.

    wait sorry just catching up with the highlights, why was Romero denied an assist for Spurs' first goal? it wasnt an inadvertent touch, the ball didnt leave the penalty area. he has been robbed no?

      *i remember early in the season there was the debate about a semenyo potential assist when the ball just deflected off his back, against palace away. and that took ages for them to decide. here romero actually clearly goes up to win the ball. i dont get it

      *oh well, i wish romero was 40% owned and not 4, maybe then there'd be an explanation. if its a double deflection argument i tried to slow it down and think romero just wins the ball clean, but fair if theres an angle showing it took a nick off the defender he was contesting the ball with. is what it is

      if its a captaincy thing then just dont cap him every gw and if it backfires at least you own like. he catches fire again at some points its multiple transfers to get him back
