Everton playing well enough here, fighting to get back into it.

Gray looks like that guy that will assist the assister though.

eggy81 · 22-01-2022 3:13pm

That’s that Watkins is gone. Useless in fpl this season. Good fixtures are a trap with him

gammygils · 22-01-2022 3:14pm

I hate owning Watkins. Only keeping him because of his fixtures and fcuk all to replace him with.

munster87 · 22-01-2022 3:15pm

Zouma being back is big for whu

extra gravy · 22-01-2022 3:16pm

Gray going on the list of players I can't wait to sell along with Alonso and Trossard.

Muahahaha · 22-01-2022 3:38pm

yeah have had him about 5 gws now and he hasnt done much in that time. He is getting chances but not putting them away. Think I might look to downgrade that position to bench fodder so I can keep Kane and get Salah back while maintaining a premium defence

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118517297#Comment_118517297

Same. Got Watkins in for Vardy weeks ago and he's got me shag all. Thinking of 3-5-2 or even 4-5-1 some weeks

Fitz* · 22-01-2022 3:52pm

Watkins is frustrating but he has a DGW soon too.

Had Cash also and while 5 is not to be sniffed at, looking over at Digne with his 12 is annoying. If only I had waited for Digne instead of going for Cash early.

Lovely introduction to Digne if anyone has him.

Newbie20 · 22-01-2022 4:35pm

Jesus there’s nothing happening. First week in ages unaffected by Covid and it’s a shocker.

if you include the -4 hit I took I currently am on 0 points from 6 players played/playing including my captain. This is horrendous.

dsmythy · 22-01-2022 4:40pm

Brentford game interrupted by drone.

I wonder are the postponements behind us?

Can we get back to planning again?

Newbie20 · 22-01-2022 4:44pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118517581#Comment_118517581

Hopefully so, would bring a lot more enjoyment back to it.

What did it do, hold a player hostage or something?

Luckily the players were taken off the pitch before it came to this. They're back on the pitch again.

Does that mean that Diop is back to the bench with Zouma and Dawson first choice?

gormdubhgorm · 22-01-2022 5:03pm

This Man United v West Ham game is sort of bittersweet for me so far.

I have De Gea and Bowen. I benched Diop plus Antonio - so the fact Diop was dropped is a bit least annoying. At the same time I will be a bit put out if Man United get a clean sheet. Because I captained de Gea for the DGW 22. Where was that battling and seeing out a game type play when I wanted it!? West Ham are much more difficult opponents this week and a clean sheet looks likely with about 45min gone - no attempts on target for either team. De Gea much less work to do than the previous matches.

I would hope so, Diop has been poor lately

Fitz* · 22-01-2022 5:35pm

Finally a goal.

0-1 Wolves

Moutinho (Semedo)

Did you smash it · 22-01-2022 5:35pm

Dalot has 41 points towards bonus in this game. That’s a lot for a player who hasn’t done anything in terms of actions within the game.

Fitz* · 22-01-2022 5:37pm

And like buses they all come at once.

0-1 Newcastle

Shelvey

Green&Red · 22-01-2022 5:41pm

Any assist?

extra gravy · 22-01-2022 5:44pm

I've DDG and Dawson on the bench, of course it's going to end 0-0.

crushproof · 22-01-2022 5:51pm

Rashford, Cavani assist

Dubh Geannain · 22-01-2022 5:53pm

Coufal on my bench and he ain't budging. Came off early with the CS.

First sub is DCL. Playing Gray ahead of him giving me a juicy 1 extra point as I inch away from negative points. Currently 4 from 4. HEWT.
