xG philosophy is generally a bad account and I wouldnt waste time reading any of their posts.

Know it was a friendly but some of the defending in that Bayern game was horrific. Feel we are going to get hosed by counters again this year unfortunately. Expectations are low.

Ignore, I thought you were poking at my post. Serves me right for posting before my first cup of coffee.

It feels like this community would start deteriorating faster than it has if I did not distribute some cash via FPL sidebet opportunities to my peeps ITT.

kingweed / miccheck we have a running 100 EUR one. I assume that is on?

chopsuey and xxDeuce7xx we also had a running one but the amount escapes me at this point. Wanna renew?

cina how are you doing with the point / 1 EUR bet? wanna keep doing it?

And yes all my bets must be in EUR now as otherwise I'll forget the currency

For me it feels you need a CB to form a strong partnership with Virgil (and also someone who is still relatively fast) - think that van Dijk getting older/slower is the root of those problems as he cannot get back in the extent he used to. With lightning wingers and Plop's fullbacks running forward like crazy this isnt sustainable indeed.

For us Ramsdale sucks a bit still and Jesus is injured (albeit hopefully nothing serious) - but those 2 positions might be the biggest dropoffs in our squad rn when someone gets injured. Oh and ofc Saka's spot is uncontested

I don’t buy the line that Jesus is only out for a couple of weeks.
He had a knee op the other day.

On the subject of community experience enhancers, will happily donate to a WTA fpl pool if we're doing that again.

Booked. Also I can set up the league again and escrow as well if winners were happy with the payout timings.

I'm not gonna go lol friendly either, but one of the things that blew my mind last season was how we didn't make any adjustments to our obviously porous defense and it doesn't look like we've done anything to solve it this season. Just gonna yolo the attack again I guess

Nope, I just tend to give fans of teams the best are with first crack. Amplifies the pain/pleasure. Will do $100 (loser pays fees if you're foreign). I have arsenal season points total you have united +3.5 seasons points total at even money Quote to book.
