1.2% owned, hardly a wrecking ball for rank

Shure he ended up in the Championship last time they were relegated. If he was decent someone would have bought him. He’s Pukki level.

Maybe he was paid full wages and offered bonus if he got Fulham back to the PL.

4 chances created from Cresswell, 2 from Coufal.
2 bonus points for Coufal, 0 for Cresswell. I hate bonus points

Was mitro not on the pitch to take the pen

Chesty08

That’s the quality / experience there

How the **** Is Lookman even taking that penalty

He was but he missed the last one he took.

BBC said that Mitrovic missed his last penalty, so Parker must have taken him off them - and given it to Lookman.

I don't see any issue with him taking it - just terrible time to take a penalty like that.

Seriously don’t think so!

Parker take many pens .. believe he did. Club captain at Charlton. Did he miss? Not sure. But you are not taking your captain, pen taker of last year if he misses one

Especially for a young loanee who never took a pen before

Happy4all

Soucek and Coufal..happy the way that finished

So you think Mitro bottled it ?

Highly unlikely that the young loanee demanded to take the penalty?

Yes, Mitro’s bottled it!!

Parker didn’t make a definitive on it either, left it up to them.

Parker should be saying he’s taking it & not leave it lingering til they get a penalty

My captain.... ffs

In fairness, look it, he was the obvious captain choice this week, just missed a pen

SlickRic

I can't believe Soucek scored. Unreal. Love it.

49 with Son (c), Salah and Trent to go.

The week could still go down the toilet, but good for now.

Mr.Prodston

Soucek as first sub comes in for Trossard

That's pretty sweet, and furthering his cult status for me!

COH

50 (-8) with Kane (c), Son & Salah to go.

Feels like the decision to take the -8 for Pulisic (0), Jiminez (?).and Saiss (? - was going to bench him anyway) to Werner (7) Ziyech (11) and Coufal (8) has already paid off.

HEWT

ShaneU

28 from 5, not bad

thunderdog

19 from 4, pretty HEWT

Cartman78

42(-4) from 6.

Martinez, Robertson, Salah, Grealish and Kaptain Kane to go.

Good GW so far....every player has contributed something...Taylor first sub in the unlikely event of someone missing out

Dr. Bre

43 from 5

Chuck Noland

Same

Chesty08

38 (-4) from 5.

Still Grealish , Salah, Jiminez , Kane (c), Son and Dias to go

Predicted rise to 255k from 350k OR

FourFourRED

46 with Saiss, Grealish, Son & Kane (c) to play. Yee haw!

wanderer100

40 (-4) with Kane(c), Salah, Grealish & Aubamayang to go. So far so good

joeyboy11

31 from 5 with Martinez, Robertson, Salah, Son, Grealish and Kane (C) left

Soucek first sub. Don't mind missing on the points as he is only there as a back up to the first choice front 7. I'm just grateful I swapped chose KWP over Dallas before the deadline.

I know obviously easy to say now but if ever a game was to play soucek was home to one of the worst in the league?
Especially with villa away to arsenal who have been very well organised under Arteta...cue arsenal meltdown

hawaii501

31 from 6 with Kilmun son(c) salah grealish and kane to go.

Had a disaster, brought in pulisic 2 weeks ago and hasn't played. Transferred early to havertz Monday and obviously missing due to covid. Ziyech was next on the list if I waited aswant one of them 3 from Chelsea, just can'tget the right one

Thepoet85

My set & forget team is sitting at 375k OR and my main team 450k.

Wonder why we even bother ha.

I definitely could have swapped Soucek in for hamez this week as his form was interrupted with injury and Everton missing some key players.
I’m not expecting much from grealish as you’re right about arsenal defence but anytime I’ve seen grealish play this season he’s either hauled or been close to one so I couldn’t bench him. I put much more thought into the KWP v Dallas decision so at least I got one right!

I just put my team ID into the what if thingy and I'm actually 59 points better off now. Although I think that says more about the gw1 selections than the transfers and captain choices made this season.
