He’s covering the Rashford spot, not a midfield place

Unlike previous years, you don’t need to be putting money on it to play as I suspect we would get a larger number of participants this way. Obviously, side bets are more than welcome.

I already made 10 drafts that I like. Naturally, innn. Coming for Cina's throne!

Need to reg the sidebets as well:

Arse vs Spurs +1.5 Cina 100€

FPL higher points bet:
vs kingweed 100€
vs miccheck 100€
vs Chop 50€

Anyone I had the bet last season that wants to renew? New takers perhaps?

It’s cracking. Only about 20 mins of Poch. Pretty much straight in with Jose and his Aurier love.
I never thought I could ever feel sorry for Eric Dier, but I genuinely did for a moment.

1 ep in now, its captivating.

Curious what ppl itt think about Leeds this year. On a nornal year, Bielsa would have them super ready for the beginning and they often faded late. Not sure they can be at the fitness he'd like in two weeks.

I’m really happy that we start away at Liverpool. Much prefer to play at an empty Anfield than against the Kop.

i see leeds having 2 wins 5 losses and 3 draws after 10. the first 5 weeks are pretty rough if they cant get a win against fulham. maybe the 2nd worst set of initial fixtures after west ham.

Also thought it'd be fun to experiment doing a €/fantasy point bet. e.g. you finish with 2200 points, your opponent with 2350 you owe him €150 : if anyone wants to experiment this idea, let me know

The point thing is really interesting. I would imagine it would keep you engaged even if you are losing by some margin. I'm already invested way too much so not this season

I’m boycotting the PL but this looks to be the event of the year, Fantrax has a co-owner function too so you can easily split the cost

watched first episode of All or Nothing last night and it confirmed to me that Mourinho is the man, can't wait to watch the rest

lol at deli being lazy in training. also lol at me needing subtitles for kane speaking.

also was surprised at Son's accent? idk what i expected but i forgot that he trained in germany so it was a little weird hearing his british/german/korean hybrid accent thing. i dont hear interviews of players v often so every now and then i get surprised.

I am personally disgusted with myself for allowing myself to find likeable aspects about all these goddam Spurs players in this doc. Even boltneck Dier and Dele ffs. Just awful.

“Walker or Peters? Which do you prefer?“

“Walker-Peters”

"**** Greek civilization" is such a great and ignorant insult to throw

If he had any clue he would know better than to ****-talk the civilization and history of greece, the moment you mess with Aristotle and Socrates in Greece, you'll be guilty no matter what you try to bribe
