small red arrow. got away with it as didn't have solanke. captained zabarnyi which helped

Decided to go with Smith instead of Zabarnyi just to be different. Backfired.

Luton has fallen apart here. It could have been a massive three points for them. 

Sorry to be pedantic, but I have seen this debate recently... Shouldn't it be Luton have, especially considering you refer to them? 

Didn't see the match, but at one point late on BBC had this...did they really line-up as such??

Discussion in the Watkins thread got me thinking.

Inside the box "it's not a foul if the defender gets 1mm of the ball", but anywhere else on the pitch you can have a perfect tackle and get 1mm of the player and it's a foul.

I know we just got battered and we're supposed to be annoyed and everything but I captained Son...

A killer for me this GW. Fortunately Foden and main Arsenal protagonists blanked

Saw worse in the first 5 mins when van den Ven almost broke Ollie's leg

"got the ball so it's definitely not a penalty"

He booted him in the f***ing leg

lovely. red card next please

Goal VARed out good enough?

I have 3 players next GW. Gotta FH

Looks like I've gone really rogue this week. 6 players with less than 10% EO

Last minute -4 to bring in GK Neto as I didn't want Dubravka at Chelsea.

It's either him at Anfield or Lionel Messi Luiz at Villa Park. I'll probably bottle it and bench Dougie in the end.

That's what I have done for now. Maybe Saka doesn't play or I move Gross to the bench...

I have an Arsenal defender and the clean sheet points sent me down in rank. This is now like when you had Trent but not Robbo with him, wanted them to concede.

Same for me having Raya but no Arsenal defender.

Going KDB instead of Foden in GW25 has been a killer. 4 points vs 31 points

Looked a bright spark when he first arrived and just needed a goal early doors to kick on, but just looks devoid of confidence at the moment.

Estupinan starts but Gross is on the bench. De Zerbi is the new Pep.

We're in for a rude awakening if eveyone is expecting us to walk over Luton.

They have been held scoreless at home once in the league all season, and they haven't lost by more than two goals. I think people are getting carried away by their mid-week result.

Richy out has scuppered my plans a bit as otherwise I now don't have any good cover in case Solanke is out. Was planning to get rid of Estupinan, but might need to hold him for one more GW. Will have to wait and see if Solanke trains tomorrow.

Looking ahead, I guess it will be FH in GW29 and BB in GW37. Just need to think about when to use my WC.

Solanke flagged after 300k have already brought him in. Not me, I brought him in last week

I'm actually considering the option of binning off Haaland when I wild card (if Salah is fit at that time)

Apart from Toney they don't have any good players. The Nathan Collins signing has been a disaster. 

Mbuemo is a good player. Their downfall this season coincided with his injury.

Shocking defending on that corner. Standing around like pylons.

You're having a superb season. Keep it up. Do you get more nervous with transfers because you've more to lose, or are you full of confidence now and going for it with abandon

Nothing to be nervous about (yet?)! Just playing for fun this year and still quite a ways away from any prize!
