Lol. KWP.

Reminding me why this game is a fool's game really.

I've captained Salah.

So I retract this of course.

Mane finally getting into the game. Gutted so far with him and TAA as my two Pool players

Go on mo, get a few goals for yourself

Whats the best site for ownership and captaincy percentages?

Another goal for Salah would be perfect.

Dallas' intended target/destination was Bamford.

Salah was not Robertsons.

If you play around on that site you'll find whatever you want to find and more

I'm just going to come out and say it. That young German fella is getting his body in the way of a lot of Liverpool attacking threat. He's a very good Koch blocker.


*puts on shades*

Yeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Did robo say he wasn’t aiming for mo?

You can see from the trajectory of the ball Salah is not the intended destination.

As a Salah/Mane owner all last year I can feel your pain... it’s a dilemma every week but really has to be stick with one for a few weeks anyway

Bit like the double/triple pool defence debate - some weeks it'll work some weeks it won't - just got to suck it up the weeks that it doesn't.

If you had triple pool defence you might be happy - assuming you had VVD and Robbo.

Wasn’t the rule that the ball had to clear the penalty box for it to be deemed a clearance

Definitely a few years ago anyway was the rule

Thought the same thing

Yes he did.

Having no crowd there is awful handy to clear these things up..

Is vice captain gone?

Ace2007

Regardless of whose he was trying to pick out the Leeds defender's header significantly altering the intended destination of the ball which is what counts at the end of the day.

I dont think it was but i dont think Dallas is either.

Robertson intended target was in the mixer which a defender got an interception to before a goal. Dallas was into space before a defender got an interception to before a goal. I dont see a huge difference.

Nope, still a thing.

Mr.Prodston

Switched the captaincy from Son to Salah at about 6am this morning!

That's the little boost I need to encourage me to play smarter this season :pac:

Johnstone
KWP - TAA - Davies
Salah (c) - Auba - Son - Soucek [My phone predicted Soucek far sooner than it ever should have as I was typing this....]
Werner - Wilson - Mitro

McCarthy: Reed - Justin - Taylor

To be fair, it's a very grey area at the best of times and sometimes depends who those at FPL towers have in their team. does lead to some confusion.

Although from watching both goals, I expected Dallas to be given as the ball albeit into space, was into space for Bamford.

Robertson's ball was into the mixer with no real intended target, not specifically for Salah and Salah alone.

Lots of gloating and backslapping on Twitter from those who went with Salah. That's why I like this forum, you can make a decision without being ridiculed for it.

Good luck to the people planning on transferring out Salah

He could still miss a penalty, then get sent off and injure himself walking off the pitch
