Yeah I'm a lifelong Lincoln fan so was watching this match very closely! I agree with you, he had the pace to trouble our somewhat slow centre backs but other than the shot that hit the post didn't show much. We were playing very deep though so against a high line he may prosper more.Iwobi impressed me the most, the goal was well taken and he had another shot that was only a foot wide. It was a slightly odd match in that I came away thinking the Everton attack looked ok but their defence looked poor, when in the league Everton have been showing the opposite. Maybe Lincoln are just better going forward than several premier league sides 😉 » Read
Well, here we are. I'm going to admit I have wildcarded, due to a number of push and pull factors. I'm going to list them here as it may help out you guys, please also feel free to pull my thinking apart where appropriate.Firstly, (and this is a person specific point) it turns out going to remote Scotland with no phone signal or internet for 5 days in the run up to the season start, and then finalising your squad in Charnock Richard service station off the M6 is not the ideal preparation for an FPL season. Finding out Maguire was a United player at 5pm on the Friday for example was not the sort of shock news I needed when processing time was at a premium! This is the main reason I don't feel too bad about wildcarding so early, the preparation time had not gone into my initial squad. Anyway..Push FactorsCurrent squad:Heaton, Button
Robertson, VVD, Laporte, Zouma, Lundstrum
Salah, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Perez, Dendonker
Wilson, King, GreenwoodHeaton - He is a good keeper, but… » Read

They played him on the wing as one of the 3 forwards in a 4-3-3, rather than as the number 10 in a 4-2-3-1. » Read
