Two 4M mids have been added to game...

Elliott (FUL) and Holland (WHU)

What a bizarre decision. Wonder if that's a sign of things to come for next year.

And bizarre timing.

Very. It's almost like they were 1m short of their WC team!

Those lads appeared on the bench for Fulham & West ham for the first time in the league yesterday.

They always add players to game when that happens.

I'm sure we'll all be looking to create fodder post double game week and they'll do nicely.

It's the price they were added at that's unusual. Hasn't been a 4.0 mid all season and two added in GW35

The dream now is that a 4m mid version of Wan B emerges in pre-season!

POKERKING

Looks a mistake by fpl. They should have come in at 4.5m.

What the hell? That’s a first, right? Potential advantage for those wildcarding this week

Nope, not a first. I remember about 5 years ago they did the exact same thing.

I think it was the Norn Iron youngster Ferguson who was at Newcastle at the time.

Should I bench boost this dgw? Asterix for DGW and sgw players have their fixtures in brackets. I'll be taking a -4 or -8 hit to bring in some DGW players (maybe Laca/Aguero/Deeney) but Puncheon will remain.

Ryan* Boruc (FUL)
Doherty* Bednark* Perriera (wham) AWB (ars) Robertson (car)
Son*, Salah (car), Mane (car), Hazard(BUR), Puncheon (wat)
Rashford*, Jimmi*, King (FUL)

Yeah, sure why not

Depends. Do you have TC left? I'd be tempted to use that in a DGW.

There ain’t many TC options next week

Sterling, Aguero, Son, Jimenez. Lacazette or Aubameyang depending on how the EL goes.

If Spurs go out of the CL I might stick it on Son. Home to Brighton in 2nd game.

Yeah and I also remember then-Aston Villa player Daniel Johnson was another one.

Watford to appeal Deeney’s red card despite the risk of the ban increasing if they are unsuccessful. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/watford/watford-to-appeal-troy-deeney-red-card-against-arsenal-despite-risk-of-increasing-threegame-ban-a4120456.html

Anyone know how long it normally takes for the decision to be made? Assuming it's always attempted to be done before the next round of matches?

Yeah it’ll be done before Saturday I’d say.

Liverpool away to Newcastle now on the Saturday instead of the Sunday 4:30pm match

You’d imagine there will also be another change to fulfil the TV schedule of Super Sunday

The appeal failed.

Not sure why they bothered to appeal, they weren't likely to overturn it.

Especially when he himself said last year in an interview after the game that he likes to give one of them a good wallop early on.............he has a lot to say for himself

Is it going to get increased to four matches now I wonder.

Only if they feel the appeal was frivolous.

Someone inside the top 10k deleted their account. At least that means we move up a place...
