English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 708 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Not sure why Rose is in for Davies....

Aside from that pretty much our best 11. I think I prefer Son off the bench while he regains his fitness as he's a much better impact player to bring on than Lamela

wat

rose is >>>>>davies. davies is not good. rose is pretty good.

not a bad performance. disappointed with the drop off in the second half. we were bossing it for 50 minutes or so.

apparently serial xG mapper caley was at the same bar i was for the game. unbeknownst to me.

Astonishes me that clubs don't spend massive sums on strikers and goalkeepers to the exclusion of everything else. Clearly the highest EV buying strategy.

1) is this a joke?
2) they did on Benteke
3) if you spend all the money on strikers maybe you won't have enough decent midfielders to create the chances in the first place? etc etc

Chelsea lost again with their manager banned from the ground.

City drew with the bottom team in the Prem.

You drew at home.

We are one win from the top of the table. In midweek we went to the top of our CL group and now are 1 home win away from qualification.

That is a good week and a good weekend for United and United fans. Arguing against that is just jealousy.

KW just has a stick up his ass today or something so it went "lol united" "lol aof' instead of a discussion between adults.

Agreed. The best chances are one-on-ones and he is too slow to put his foot through the ball to be of much use to a top club.

I was considering it for the lulz, but when betting guru LO said the odds were too short, that was just too much of a jinx

That's why he isn't at one.

I really don't get how Brent saw how much success he had with an interchangeable, pacey front 3 in SAS and thought after losing 2/3 that the solution was Benteke.

Also Januzaj is going to come back from loan in January if reports are to believed. Makes complete sense as well

They've been going on for about two years with every club under the sun being linked, so I'd go with no.

I've been tracking his progress. Unused sub again today. Lucky if he gets 15 minutes in a routine win. Totally **** loan.

loaning Januzaj to an offense where united's starters wouldn't get a game was weird

pls loan him to Hannover 96 in winter, thx

It was a really, really dumb idea. Jazunaj is good, but nowhere near good enough to get 60+ minutes a week for Dortmund. Maybe Dortmund wanted it more and Tuechel didn't know what he had yet?

I'll have another $1k on TP (already have $100 with bandit). Can you either escrow or have someone well known vouch for you? Sorry I know you are much more of a reg itt than me but I don't know you. I'm holding $20k for the fpl leagues 3rd year running fwiw so you could just send to me maybe if that's not taking the piss. Cheers

Creating a passing system with many nodes to develop an edge takes 20 odd years of the world's best youth development at La Masia. A world-class goalkeeper and/or finisher will basically insta outperform xG. Bournemouth with Messi and Neuer probably win the league.

To put it simply, I'd play Rose at home, Davies away. For pretty obvious reasons.

Rose was good and consistent last season, but his form has been patchy this campaign. Davies has been pretty solid if unspectacular IMHO.
