His numbers backed it up though season-after-season. He was always a first-choice in my team.

Yea you have a free and penalty taker defender - who was consistent getting goals and assists, with the odd clean sheet

I thought you where going post a top 10 gw ranking (which would in itself be impressive) but top 10 manager of all time. Serious cudeos.

Can we sticky an "Ask Mark" or "What would Mark do" thread ?

I'll start

Mark. Two trains leave a station at 9am in opposite directions heading for Cherry Orchard, one travelling at 100 kmph and the other at 75kmph.

If both trains travelling arrived at 10.35 would you transfer Mane and Kane out for Salah and Lacazette?

Shots, pressure and clarity in the Premier League
Points of interest

- Romelu Lukaku scored the most goals under pressure in the Premier League last season

- Granit Xhaka took the most shots (29) from low clarity situations, seven more than second-ranked Mohamed Salah, although Salah’s xG from his 22 shots is higher than Xhaka’s

- Harry Kane took the most shots from high clarity situations, and also ranked third when shooting from low clarity situations

Both being monitored, neither ruled out of the Huddersfield game. Probably won’t hear more till Thursday or Friday at this stage.

Brighton's fixtures really are exceptional for the next while. Think Glenn Murray will be in most teams soon.

That must hve been after the season united kept a record amount of clean sheets. Vidic was outstanding

Who will score higher this weekend Kane or Firmino?

Kane, both look off the pace but Kane less so

Most likely outcome is they probably both score the same! For this week only I'd edge marginally on the side of Kane but for the next 4 or so I'd give the edge to Firmino.

Kane 2 goals v Hammers away from home last year. he's my captain

S.M.B.

Given that Mendy is only owned by ~14% I think I'll avoid the 4 point hit to get him in and just hope he doesn't rip Burnley to shreds.

My decisions for the weekend are

Captain Salah or Aguero
Play Ings or Maddison

I don't really understand this generally but this is a differently managed team and Kane is playing differently and possibly without Eriksen too.

ok, as i'm banging out random useless facts to justify my captain choice - Harry Kane has 24 league goals in 32 games against London opposition. And he recently changed a nappy for the first time. Super keen.

I'm all aboard the Kane train this week myself. Had a great performance midweek vs Spain to boot

So you're saying he got rid of all the sh!t surrounding him?

What's Dier still doing at Spurs so? :pac:
