and bench their most expensive.

If you want to be a depressed arsenal fan you should probably google "arsenal top 10 most expensive transfers"

HAS to. I hope no one has forgotten how toxic the Emirates can get.

Praying we get a big dose of Gabi this season. Him, my son Saka, ESR and seeing if we’ve got ourselves a player in Lokonga will keep me running on fumes this year I guess.

let me stop you right there

Maybe I'm in the minority here but it seems really ****ing stupid to perma sell a guy who got 8 goals in 14 games for newcastle of all teams and is 21 years old.

I'd question how Willock got used in 2019 that made him so anemic and ask what role he could fulfill at arsenal where he'd be useful in an attacking role alongside ESR and Martinelli.

Those 8 goals came from 3.1 non penalty xG if im not mistaken.

Yeah he basically went on a Lingard-like heater, 20m is excellent business for arse.

Brewdog's found his level

Two minutes later he hits one forty yards wide so regressing to the mean quickly

He scored those 8 goals on 14 shots. He averaged 1 shot a game to get those goals. Willock isn't a good passer. Neither is Auba nor Pepe. You basically can only play 1 before you can't get the ball up the pitch.

When will people realise that xG is predominantly a measure of chance creation? Far more so than a 'run hot' measure.

Turning an xG of 3.1 into 8 goals tends to mean a key thing. You're turning half chances into goals. That means you're good, far more than it means you're running hot.
A low xG doesn't mean your goalscorers are rubbish, it means those who set up the chances are rubbish.

For example. A perfect through ball that gives you time to take the shot from the optimal position gets a higher value than a crap through ball that makes you hit it first time from further out or further wide.

Why does Kane want to play with De Bruyne? Because the chances he provides have a higher xG than those provided by Ndombele.

My brother would have had the first opportunity to go and see Port Vale play live for over a year tonight but had to work late.
Me “Maybe for the best, the ground would be full of sad people that we had just missed out on Messi”
“True, he could have completed our jigsaw “

Also in a Facebook thread “Things that have nearly killed you “ He just posted “Watching Port Vales defence “

Fantasy 4.0 Tsimikas most likely. I mean Klopp could throw Milner back there, but if there's anytime to play Tsimikas it's not, especially with a relatively easy opponent in our opening fixture

Is Pukki still doing Pukki things for Norwich? Or is he washed up?

Norwich signing a ginger Yank from Werder Bremen would indicate they're not too confident that Pukki power is a strong as before.

lol facts

Good to see the Burnley loanee bagging the winner at Ewood.

lol Venkys

“Josh Sargent” is just about the most American sounding name I can think of.

Any interest in a draft FPL before the season starts? Set and forget, no transfers/subs allowed?

Not sure I have the commitment for a regular team any more..

I'm down for any type of fpl gambling

I reset last seasons league if anyone else wants to join.

Repeat our €25 fpl points bet?
