Gameweek 24 - Matchday Thread! Salah is back!

Newcastle would have been better off going for Weghorst over Wood.

Early days to decide that I think. Wood had the ball in the net from a rebound from a save by Pickford but was narrowly offside. He also kept the Everton centre halves busy for most of the game making space for Saint-Maximin, Fraser and others to run into. Would not bring in Wood in to my FPL team but he could be the hard working forward player to unsettle defenses and help Newcastle avoid relegation. Glad to get the 5points for Saint-Maximin assist but confused how he is outscored in the bonus point system by Coleman and Pickford who were part of a defense conceding three goals.

Bowen, Gray, Antonio and DCL this evening. Dennis's 2 points to come in for DCL.

Gives me 16 from 4. Only for Bowen.

I've Coufal 2nd sub with 5 if anyone else gets left out this GW. HEWT I guess. I wonder how bad the Gray injury is.

Pickford made 7 saves so I guess that kinda makes sense

So Maguire not only cost my double United clean sheet - he cost me a Varane goal as well. The slow, fat, awkward git. That is all he has become.

11 points dropped from winning positions for Man United.

15 points from 3. Bit of a meh start as most of that was Bowen & everyone has him.

Martinez, Dias, Sterling, Foden & Son tonight.

Still really in sitting & watch mode without any real plans to change drastically. I’m sure that will all change when DeBruyne & Kane rip it up tonight ;)

Klopp’s comments on Salah do not look good for those who brought him in (or kept) for this GW

11 lovely points from Bowen.

Ederson, Laporte, Cancelo(VC), Coutinho and Edouard to go tonight. Watkins first sub.

I'm not overly concerned. The full quote isn't bad. Basically they spoke about the final, as you would, and Salah is still disappointed. If he wasn't up to playing, I think Klopp would have given him a few days off.

Rumour going around that Edouard has been dropped.

Yeah Mateta starting supposedly. Interested to see how Olise plays again tonight. Might have to bring him in soon.

Sounds like Foden starts.

Edouard was part of my Salah plan which is gonna have to change now. There is such a lack of strikers.

Fitz*

Edouard only benched. At least it's not an injury so he might actually play this GW and start next GW.

The wonderfish

Confirmed edouard benched also foden starts, mbuemo benched

ShaneU

Can't believe Edouard dropped the second I brought him in, it's Benteke all over again!

It’s alright I have Idah as my first striker sub!

I can see City scoring a few here with those line ups

Fitz*

Spurs had a goal ruled out for offside.

Would have been a Son assist. Not sure of would have been scorer.

extra gravy

Reguilon misses 1 on 1, would have been a Kane assist

Fitz*

It is Spurs 1-0 now

Edit: Bednarak OG.

DJIMI TRARORE

Pukki Idah

extra gravy

It's a Bednarek og, nothing for Son

gormdubhgorm

Idah with an assist for the Pukki goal - I have him on the bench. Only striker I have is Edouard.

Do I want Palace to score two so Edouard might stay on the bench?

Or the score to stay the same which increases the likelihood of Edouard coming on?

extra gravy

Broja goal (Perraud)

Dr. Bre

Spurs all over the place

Cartman78

James goal for Leeds dammit

gormdubhgorm

I don't believe it. My wildcard bench so far one goal Broja and one assist Idah - Ramsey will get something next!? :D
