Brewster has been booked.

HT 1 yellow card (Brewster obviously) 1 save each. Sounds exciting, any die hards watching this?

Ha! Copa Del Rey final for me, not much better but a bit of bite. Saw the Brewster yellow on Livescore!

Just saw this. WTF like. Why is he losing a point about 5/6 hours after the game finished? I thought we were safe enough an hour after the game finishes.

Bonuses are finalised up to one hour after the final match of the gameday.

Jose Da Silva (Traore)

Scored on a counter where Stevens had just missed a great chance

munster87

If anyone is watching does Jose look an option for next few weeks? Was unlucky with offside goal last week too.

Don't know. Jimi is due back in few weeks

Traore assist. Brought him in for Neto

1-0 Wolves full-time. Sheffield United relegated. A huge fall from grace after last season.

I think the no crowds factor really hurt them along with a few key injuries and players losing form.

They've been incredibly competitive for a team losing every week. Very unlucky to lose tonight

Not to mention selling Hojberg and losing Henderson to Man United.
Plus I think they were a team who badly needed the crowd more than the more technical teams.

Hojberg was at Southampton not Sheffield United,
Ramsdale is a poor keeper in comparison to say Henderson which didn’t help their cause either

Lundstram going from goal king to card magnet also didn’t help!

Brewster is the fella I should have been going on about complete flop for Sheffield United and my fantasy football team.

Loads of us got burnt by Brewster to be fair. That price tag was too good to turn down

I was expecting 8-10 goals over the season with all the hype. Not suited to Sheffield's style at all.

Worst part about getting him in fpl was he took up a striker slot when there were a lot better options. Bamford, DCL etc. All those 1 pointers

The only good thing about getting Brewster was you could invest in midfield instead. But over the season I have the feeling that 3-4-3 was definitely the winner?

One benefit to Brewster was it was one less benching headache.

It all went downhill for them when they brought in Berge to compete with Lundstram for that spot in midfield. Should have left the Lord where he was

Ace2007

Ha I remember at the time some here thinking he was going to be the next big thing, despite moving to a team that didn't suit his style of play. Maybe it's a good thing he flopped from FF pov, as his price was such that everyone would have him if he did get goals.

Despite all that, i have had him in my team quite a bit this year, and currently do, as it allows you to go big in midfield and removes any headache selection. It's hard to know what the best formation is/was this year - there are times this year that playing 5 at the back was the best approach, and other times 5 in midfield.

If you look at the current "Kings of year team", it has Rashford in the team, but doesn't have Gundogan - the chances are the majority of us had Gundogan for decent spells this season, but how many had Rashford for any decent amount of times?

Likewise Vardy is in the team, despite him having 1 goal in the last 14 games that he's played.

Indeed the King of the year team has 1846 points which is good enough for around 880k rank.

As for next GW, i have 2 FT, but have 4 non playing players, with Brewster and Burn on bench - is it worth taking a -4 to get a playing player, or roll dice with one of them playing and getting minutes.

I found it is nearly always worth a minus 4 to get a playing player. I played conservatively before going with 8/9/10 players. I should have a starting XI next gw because I took a minus 12 the previous one to sort it out. Has done OK so far.

Transferred Mendy on WC for BB this week :rolleyes:
Wtf? Did not see that happening
Bollox anyway :mad:

Have Smith Rowe as my first sub. Sickened I didn’t start him. Feel Arsenal might do Fulham over today.

I was not on a WC but had him earmarked as one to bring in as he was a 'guaranteed starter' in the Chelsea defence.

Tuchel might be doing a rotating keeper job now to see which one he thinks should be no1 for next season?

Potentially also trying to offload Kepa - and will be easier if he plays him now and shows others how good he is etc.

Probably just hearsay until the teams are announced on Tuesday

macraignil

I think I remember Tuchell being quoted as saying Mendy was going to play all the league games not that long ago and brought him in a couple of weeks back to cover the tough run of fixtures for Martinez. Should have known better than to waste transfers on goalkeepers anyway. Rotation by Tuchell looks to be going the way of being even worse than with Pep.

extra gravy

Arteta:

"And then there are others who deserve to play, for example like Mat [Ryan] in goal. He trains like a beast, he’s been really positive around the place, he’s doing really well and he deserves a chance.*

Does "a chance" mean just one game or a few...annoying for Leno owners.

Ace2007

^^^ hard to know about Mendy though - was he rested and just left out of the squad because that's what has happened in all other cup games or is there an underlying reason, his missus is pregnant, he has covid, he sick, family member is sick, failed internal drug test etc. If he's not in the squad on Tuesday night then i don't think it would be rotation and could be that Tuchell has no choice but to play Kepa.

The same Man City team that didn't score at the weekend, have KdB injured and have much bigger games coming up? It's not as if your keeper is Ramsdale either. Martinez could easily get 3/4 points in that game.

Yea. According to 5-Live he wend off with his jersey pulled up over his face which is NOT a good sign.

I brought in Lacazette, Kane, Lingard and Neto on my wild card last week :mad: All off injured since I pressed the button.

That's unlucky. The Neto pick was shrewd as well. One to watch next season.

Wan Bissaka is due a decent score as far as I am concerned. Frustrating watching him. Gets in great positions, and it always not quite nearly from an fpl point of view.

Cartman78

Wood next up on my Bench Boost.....following Dawson's input yesterday I'm just hoping he doesn't miss a penalty and/or get sent off
