absolutely stoked for it. Every day at work this week is a day closer to setting off for London on Sunday morning 💙💛

Great day for #lufc 💙💛

maybe you should hedge with Haaland still around but not captain?
Would you have Gomez or say Enzo, Minteh in my situation? I really fancy Brighton to do some offensive damage in both fixtures

I've changed tact. I'm 800k. Going full differential for some fun

then again, I've gone insane. I'm going against Haaland entirely as I try to recover some mini leagues. Tell me which bits you think I should change. Do you think Gomez starts both? I really like the Spurs fixture and think they can hurt Chelsea too.

I love Okafor for the 65-70 minutes he will play today; I love him less for the probable benching on Wednesday, with no guarantee of any minutes whatsoever. He has muscle issues. Gets tired very quickly. I'm going with Aaronson who will play most (if not all) of both - it just increases my odds 🎲

I'm personally approx 800k overall and that's not fantastic for me. I feel like the Arsenal game could be low scoring and I've got a feeling for Welbeck/Pedro as the two strikers I want. Something like this feels good to me ...

if you're on FH33, and you're chasing in mini leagues and overall, and you're willing to captain Palmer - is it worth foregoing Haaland entirely, and going Semenyo/Cherki/NOR instead? 🎲

we did play well at The Solicitors Stadium for 45 minutes. He is wrong about that & he knows it. We got tired and too defensive - I genuinely think we need some top notch fullback backups in the market this summer. They must be knackered, our lads.

I got blocked. Seems that claiming that Pickford has less to do than Darlow and then being shown that it's not the case, in either fixture actually, has just sent him a bit west 😆

didn't DCL hit the post from about six yards out as part of that "hardly threatened" you mention?

why do you keep replying to it? The fact that you were there is massively irrelevant. You've already shown that your memory of things can't be trusted - the facts literally show that Pickford had more to do than Darlow. You said the opposite was true

it's tedious when facts literally debunk your memory of things, indeed. But as it shows above, Pickford had more to do in both fixtures this season. No worries. Enjoy your evening.

2.13 V 0.80 xG from the first game of the season. And #lufc were "shocking". I literally remember watching multiple Everton channels saying how awful Everton were that day

the data says you're very wrong Baa Bar. But ey, let's not let facts get in the way of your visceral anger ey

you seem quite angry, Baa Bar. You're having a decent season. Lighten up. I thought we played very well away at Everton, especially given how hugely inferior wage bill & status as a newly promoted club. Take your single point from us this season and be happy with it 😜

Aaronson might even play further forward Vs Cherries. He is a pretty sneaky pick for xMins and involvement - but do be warned - his finishing and final ball can sometimes leave you frustrated 😆

he could realistically play 70 mins Vs Wolves, and sit on the bench for the entire Cherries game. He has muscle issues, ongoing. And Farke will 100% want Okafor for Wembley.

he has definitely improved. Drastically too.

Brendan isn't going anywhere. Huge fee paid AND he has been superb. Probably our fittest player. Flexible in terms of position. Only getting stronger and better all the time. Highly coachable.

I think spurs is a plum fixture though. They cannot defend. At all.

He's a meh. Not sure. Pedro?

pure xMins play. I think he plays 170+ across the double regardless of game outcomes. Fit as a fiddle and Okafor/DCL/Tanaka much more likely to get a rest. I've gone quite differential really but I'm chasing rank a bit as I'm approx 800k. And chasing mini leagues. Feel like these kids are decent

I've made my mind up 👀

I love Okafor and he could score a hatty Vs Wolves. But if we beat wolves, can't help but feel he is definititely benched at Bournemouth. He never plays a full 90 either - he gets tired quickly.

I'm going with Aaronson on Free Hit 🎯 🔥 ALL ABOARD!

well, maybe. Im tempted to go more midfielders on Free Hit but some have similar xMin concerns aka Minteh, Okafor, Rayan etc

see: Leeds ala Rutter & Gray.
Our club has begun to behave rationally as a business, and has learnt to ignore emotional fan reactions to sales. Sometimes, you simply have to sell. And, we sold out RB (Gray) for 40m, and bought Bogle for 5m. So, I guess it can work 💙💛

see: Brentford ala Mbeumo.
see: Brighton ala Caicedo.

well, unfortunately, in reality, if a larger club offering higher wages to the player and a big transfer fee to the club comes knocking, they'll be going. And sometimes that is the right thing to do - and pragmatically, you sometimes have no real choice I'm afraid. Good selling is crucial to growth.
