Barcelona is always a good track for them though, I'm still hopeful that there is plenty of life left in this title race. Monaco should be a much better track for RB

First time I've ever owned Maguire in FPL I think. He's played every single PL minute since he moved to United. I also have Watkins. Enjoyed that one even less than I usually do.

I've got triple LIV plus Bruno. If it isn't rescheduled for tomorrow I've had a shocking week

The games for GW36 and 37 have been pushed back, still no word on whether the GW deadlines will be moved to give us a big double (and a blank) though.

I'm not a professional lip reader but I'm pretty sure he says "**** off you pussy" in the middle rather than "**** off Ross". Seems pretty clear who he's talking to though.

I think it should be stronger than that. They tried to do this the dirty way, new legislation needs to specify that any attempt like this again is a points deduction at minimum, if not relegation.

We did lose a key player. Problem is he never returned

Each game I think he can't possibly fall off further but he does. I was so hopeful for what he'd become this season after the Liverpool game, basically exactly what Lingard has been for West Ham.

Could've been a 100 point week if he'd been fit for Soton. A success nonetheless but could've been a massive green arrow.

Considering who is available I think that's just about our best XI. Squad is paper thin and we all know it.

Has this been confirmed? I was hoping to live like a hippo until team news at 5pm

Spent 4 points to bring in Reguilon for his double and then SHU after the blank. Now I have absolutely no idea what kind of tactics or formation Ryan **** Mason will employ, he could be out on his arse this week.

They are being carried by Kane and Son to a far greater degree than we are by Grealish or even United are by Bruno. If Son and Kane go, which is looking increasingly likely, they've only got about 3 players who are top 6 quality imo. We've got at least that many. How many of their first XI would you swap for ours? That stadium is a weight around their neck too.

When? This week hopefully. One of my money league FPL rivals has him

Almost certain that is exactly what it is. Without the need to qualify for the Super League it is nothing more than a glorified friendly tournament like the Audi Cup, the Emirates Cup or the glorious Peace Cup. Long term it would fizzle out and I think they know that, they're just desperate for CL reform and extra games.

Leno has now been benched for Brighton's reserve goalie they were forced to bring in on loan because their original replacement was terrible. Meanwhile EM is the best performing goalkeeper in the league by a distance. You love to see it.

Might get them the England job next time it's available though. Southgate finished bottom of the group in his only proper U21 tournament and that was still enough.

Performs well in colder climates but is a bit soft

Every member of the teams who will have to repair the cars must feel like the exasperated Doc Rivers gif when their driver manages to collide with another car in FP1. You just have to **** leave a da space, as a wise man once said.

I think that's slightly harsh, Bielsa is a good coach doing very well. Escaping the championship is a great achievement and so is avoiding relegation. The main reason I would be very nervous if he was here though is the backroom setup he demanded when he joined. IIRC he is paid a relative fortune but then to offset that he personally employs the entire backroom team, rather than the club doing it. The reason that would worry me is that when he leaves it will be scorched earth, zero continuity and Leeds will have to build an entire new backroom staff structure very quickly. With his track record of stubbornness and fall outs that could happen with relatively little warning. Our current set up is much more modular. If DS left then I assume that ROK would follow but everyone else would be fairly likely to remain. That would mean we could plug a new coach in without having to rebuild the entire footballing staff of the club. And also, for all Bielsa's success at Leeds, when DS started with us the were at the top of the Championship (in large part thanks to Bielsa) and we were about 15th. Any extra money we've spent to get to where we currently are has pretty much been offset by the extra year of PL revenue we've managed to get ahead of Leeds by being promoted instantly as well.

Anyone with TC left not going to use it on Kane this week?

Several different xGA models try to include varying amounts of this data in their calculations depending on how advanced they are. We're about midtable for xGA and overperforming it by the highest % in the league in almost all of them. To me suggests a reasonably good defensive system and the best GK in the league which is what I think we have.

He's been playing more like a chicken tikka mezzala recently

I'm surprised at quite a few of those estimates, not sure how accurate they are. 90% of them seem to be rounded to the nearest 5m (or 0.5m in half the field's case). Obviously Mazepin's wages need a * next to them as they are going to be paid to himself or by his dad technically. As do Stroll's really. And Latifi. If they're accurate then Ricciardo has taken a massive % pay cut as well.

That is annoying but I don't mind low block as much as other instances because at the very least it is less syllables than the standard "defending deep" and it's at least in English. The one that boils my piss the most is gegenpressing. Just call it counter pressing, a random German word shoehorned in just adds confusion. As far as I can tell it is the equivalent of calling the left back the links back for no reason other than being pretentious.
