@FFScout: Southampton confirm the signing of striker Guido Carrillo from AS Monaco https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-01-25/announcement-guido-carrillo-southampton-signing

not good news for Michael

Sanchez is in some sort of breach of drug testing.

Not much info on it currently but seems he missed a drug test during the 24 hours he was finalising his move from Arsenal to United.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

It will be arsenal in bother for failing to notify authorities that he would not be on site. A fine for them any most.
Man city have 3 times "forgotten" to notify authorities that their entire squad were not on site over the past 15 months and nothing happened

The daily mirror reporting exactly that
Under the big headline of Sanchez in drug probe shock the article says both clips COULD face a fine OR a warning

Seems there have been 29 fewer penalties awarded compared to this time last year.

That’s quite a difference eh.

Been looking through some numbers there. There's an average of 1.96 penalties being awarded each gameweek this season. That is compared to 2.79 last year.
If the present rate continues, it will be the lowest amount of penalties awarded since the 05/06 season.

Maybe somewhat surprisingly, Everton have most spotkicks awarded so far with 7. Man City & Palace next up with 6 & 5 respectively. Burnley, Newcastle & Swansea haven't had any yet.

I wonder has the retrospective banning on diving having an effect on players not looking for penalties more than before. Also I think refs are a lot stricter this year, if there's any doubt in their mind they won't give a penalty.

Spurs have only had 1 in the league so far I think (max 2), so by the law of averages Kane should have a few between now and May.

If Alli stopped giving the ball away outside the box on counter attacks they might have some chance.It slows everything down at a time when the defences are stretched. Gives them time to regroup. Defo one of the main reasons they have got none

They need to explain why he wasn't there. We all know why he wasn't there, so there will be nothing coming out of it. A warning maybe.

Pick 2 to play this gw from Jones, Vertonghen, Wilson and Simpson.

Straight off I will say play Wilson and Vert last.
Jones over Simpson up to you.

My team is in such ruins that they removed the 'Save Your Team' option when changing my team.

If/when Arsenal get Aubemyang, I'll be getting him. His goalscoring record is insane, just hope he is under 11.5

Ulloa has joined Brighton on loan. Murray possibly at risk now

Also, West Ham are in talks to sign BUIB :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Daniel Sturridge could well be on his way to @NUFC from @LFC
A loan until the end of the season with a loan fee of £1.5 million and an agreement to pay his salary in full.

Aubam straight in for Aguero when he’s added. 11.5 maybe?

Is Ulloa big into law enforcement?

@AnfieldHQ: Klopp on penalties: "There's 4 or 5 players who think they should take them. They stay behind at the end of training to practice. Firmino is the main taker at the moment. It doesn't need to become a problem." https://twitter.com/AnfieldHQ/status/957963087633698816/photo/1

Lacazette was 10.5, I think?

I'd say the same.
