What did he say to get booked?

callaway92

Ya and I think I may have to get rid anyway. The number of minutes he gets just isn’t enough. Played 60+ minutes just three times even though he’s been available for all games

Maybe is Sessegnon had a long-term injury I’d maybe get him back

I think he ran onto the pitch to celebrate or something

2nd Row Donkey

Entered the field of play to congratulate Son after his goal.

Ace2007

Son again - what a beauty :) saving me in the LMS

shmeee

Kane assist

Son goal

Another beauty from Son! Son and Kane owners in heaven

callaway92

I think the goalkeeping was bad for both of the first two Son goals. Wayyy too far off his line needlessly

Xander10

My first week without Son. Oh well..I thought he might get left out but the response!

Ace2007

Son hatrick!!!!!

Will VAR let it stand, potential offside. Son has absoultely ripped it up since he came on. Majestic display from him.

This is horrible!!

Son hat trick!! Wow!!! Anyone on the son train has had some emotional run the last 3 hours or so

2nd Row Donkey

Son is back.

Like many I've been contemplating moving Salah on but couldn't see a viable replacement, this changes everything

extra gravy

Less than 10% ownership, what a differential for those that went with him.

crushproof

Wow this amazing, Son you beauty. If Haaland hadn't have started I would have had him captain!

shmeee

Son hasn't killed my rank much, small green arrow and costing me about 36k places. 8% EO, savage differential, well in those on him over KDB.

SlickRic

If there was ever a sign of how luck can play a part, it's that hat trick.

Son tipped to be benched due to form. Was benched. Those who went with the tip rewarded.

Then he scores a hat trick.

Everyone fúcked around with over the last 2 hours.

Bit like the Salah game a few years ago.

Dubh Geannain

Did TAA to Trippier and Greenwood to Mitro.

Last night took the -4 and gambled Salah to Son. Thought he was too big to bench. I was wrong.

Forced to play Collins because of postponements had me nervous. I was right to be.

A Collins -3, Mitro no show and Son benched had me reeling. Thought the week was done. I was wrong.

Wasn't even going to check in at all. No one likes coming on the scene of a car crash. Only someone kindly text me to say he'd just come on and scored 2. My God!

Then it got better. The end 😅

Rollercoaster of emotions.

Think the really big scorers have low ownership this week so hopefully I'll still have a green arrow after bringing in Foden, Kane and Maddison.

The Stoke game? Yup.

Congrats to Son owners. Those are the moments you love the game for.

Mr.Prodston

My transfers were:

Walker -> Cancelo

Salah -> Son

I'm back baby!!! 😎

*insert bender gif*

Muahahaha

Thats was an enjoyable afternoon, WC went really well with new players KdB, Maddison, Isak all returning. Shame Pope and Trippier couldnt keep a clean sheet but if Id kept Ward and played him it would have been a -3 for 6 goals conceded so thats a swing to Pope already. My plan had been to only own Isak this week and to target Bournemouth again next week by selling Isak for Toney but as Fitz said maybe we are underestimating Bournemouth just because of the heavy losses to Liverpool and City.

On 56 with Saka, Martinelli and White to play. VHEWT as it puts me into the top 100k for the first time this season and I got the lead back in two MLs having lost it in GW2. Feel like I got away with choosing KdB over Kane this week but might have to re-consider that before Pep rests him. Or could just get Son and forget about getting Salah back till GW12

We've almost identical teams by the sound of it. I'm not too worried about Kane, don't think he's needed when the likes of Toney can match him for 4m less plus when would you captain him. Spurs next few not great either. KDB to Son could be a shout in gw11 when KDB is away to Pool and Spurs have Everton at home. Think White is a doubt for tomorrow, isn't he injured?

extra gravy

White starts, apologies. I thought I read he had a muscle issue.

extra gravy

Brentford — Raya; Hickey, Ajer, Mee, Henry; Jansson(C), Janelt, Jensen; Mbeumo, Toney, Dasilva.

Arsenal — Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Tierney; Partey, Xhaka(C); Saka, Fábio Vieira, Gabriel Martinelli; Gabriel Jesus.

Scorpion Sting

Odegaard and Zinchenko both miss out due to calf problems.

Saliba (Saka)

extra gravy

Saliba (Saka)

Sold him on wc. Ouch.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119633506#Comment_119633506

H'on Saliba, if I WC-d he'd have more than likely been gone. Huge goal!!

Saka with the assist will help a good whack.

shmeee

Gabriel down with an issue, pulled up in warm up also. He's gone back on the field for now.

paulie21

Jesus (Xhaka)

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119633528#Comment_119633528

Cranking ball in by Xhaka. Jesus just had to gide his header to the goal. Big tank killer for those not on who went to Mitro like myself. Saliba will cover it off mainly for now.

extra gravy

Sold Jesus and bought Saka, swings and roundabouts.

Mr Crispy

Yeah, Jesus will spank my rank here.

Benimar

This game is killing me! Martinelli and Toney in it. No Saliba, Jesus or Saka. My rank I’d getting killed. Down 500k since ko.

Vieira (Saka)

What a hit. And Saka owners in Dreamland..

Fitz*

Need Raya to start making some saves! And sure maybe even rebound them out to Martinelli.

One more save for a point now. It's the little things.

extra gravy

Emerson bench, he was in a few wc teams.

Cypher_sounds

Saka denied a goal by Raya's brilliant diving save.

Scorpion Sting

Everton: Begović, Patterson, Tarkowski, Coady, Mykolenko, Gueye, Onana, Gordon, Iwobi, Gray, Maupay

Subs: Jakupović, Coleman, Keane, Vinagre, Garner, Doucouré, Davies, McNeil, Rondón 

West Ham: Fabiański, Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Souček, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Dawson, Ogbonna, Emerson, Downes, Cornet, Benrahma, Lanzini, Scamacca

crushproof

Didn't expect Brentford to be so poor today. Martinelli contributing nothing and of course sold Jesus for Mitro

extra gravy

Martinelli subbed

extra gravy

Saliba haul stings, was v iffy about selling him on wc as he's such great value and has an attacking threat but gw12 blank sealed it plus the tough fixtures before that. Overplanning maybe.

Saliba and Jesus leading the baps

Noice . Hold
