Was going to bring Johnson in but didn't think he'd make it.

Likewise on Johnson - he was flagged which is annoying but sure

Wildcard 26 team and 2 FTs to field 11:

AC active.

Kepa

Trippier Badiashile Chilwell Zinchenko

q2ice

Played free hit

Ramsdale

Trippier Dier White

Almiron Son Saka Maddison

Isak Kane Toney

Bench:

Raya Ward-Prowse Cucurella Henry

I was worried about not playing Ward-Prowse. Apparently he has a good record against Spurs. Now Almiron is out, he slots in.

Must be injured

paulie21

Ramsdale

Tripper Chilwell Porro

Trossard Saka Gibbs-White Maddison

Toney Kane (c) Felix

FH played

extra gravy

Christ thought Botman had pulled something there the way he was hopping but it was only his boot coming off

q2ice

Isak close to scoring there. Off the keeper then the crossbar

After a rewatch it took a big deflection from Aurier and hit the post - enough so that it would have been classed as an OG

q2ice

Referee is having a nightmare

Edit: Hoping for a Newcastle win, have Trippier and Isak.

He just yellow carded a Forest player (Dennis) for nothing.

extra gravy

Botman you idiot

Dennis goal

Mr Crispy

Botman howler leads to a Dennis goal.

q2ice

There goes the clean sheet.

Dennis scores for Not Forest

Cartman78

Dennis goal.

extra gravy

Had to be one of the best DGWK trolls to do it as well

q2ice

Newcastle look dreadful when neither Almiron nor Jolentin are playing. Forest could get another 1 or 2

Xander10

not too many calm heads out there. wouldn't be a shock to sea a red card

Was just about to post the same. Dunno why but I think Burn could get a second yellow.

extra gravy

Isak (Willock)

q2ice

Isak goal

gammygils

I considered Isak but didn't do it and he has a double next week

I got him in on the Free Hit at 5 after reading Howe's comments and seeingg his name plastered all over paddy power.

Was gonna get rid of N williams ahead of DWG but might need to prioritise Isak in now.

The ' Bookmark this discussion' gets rechecked every time I refresh the page.

I wrote out a longer comment but when attempting to uncheck the option I accidentally clicked home. Stupid design

Fitz*

Probably time to reconsider Newcastle defence. No clean sheet in 5 games now, after a run of 6 in a row.

q2ice

Anderson goal, Isak assist

extra gravy

Anderson (Isak)

q2ice

VAR check for offside, ref looking at monitor

extra gravy

Varred

q2ice

Crap. No goal. Burn offside

q2ice

Would love to see Isak and Wilson play together upfront. Wilson would definitely be worth getting if that happens

Edit: at least Isak gets the 60 minute point this game. Once he gets to 90 mins per game the matchup might happen (?)

Second edit: Howe said that "while he can manage 90 minutes now, its not 90 minutes of our game style"

Ace2007

Penalty for newcastle - dunno what the forrest lad was at

Does Tripper alwasy take their penalities when Wilson not on pitch?

q2ice

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371214#Comment_120371214

I think its Wilson, Isak and Trippier

q2ice

Its Trippier

Ace2007

Isek took ball from Tripper and scored - dunno was that some sort of sportmanship - penalty scored anyway

Scorpion Sting

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371221#Comment_120371221

To allow Isak to compose himself away from the Forest players.

q2ice

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371221#Comment_120371221

Sounds like Trippier was just minding the ball (sitting in his account like :) )

Isak goal, no assist

q2ice

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371230#Comment_120371230

Spot on. Gotta love George Beglin, he said as much. Brilliant commentator

Ace2007

As someone who got rid of Tripper on FH, that was a nervous few minutes as nearly everyone has Tripper - had he took it and scored probably 9 pointer

q2ice

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371258#Comment_120371258

If he had scored he would probably get 3 BPs also putting him at 11

Isak goal was better as not as many have him. Was worried about taking out Havertz but less so now

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120371278#Comment_120371278

yea but the goal is worth 9 points, he's on 2 regardless. unless he missed ha.

I imagined a George Hamilton x Jim Beglin fusion! Would work well

Flaneur OBrien

Raya

Trippier Zinc Mee Chilwell

Kovacic Martinelli Saka Billing

Kane (c) Toney

No subs playing

One of those weekends where I think I have a really good team for the week that's in it, so it'll probably return 40 points or less 😂

Mr Crispy

No lunch time match! At least there'll be no early KO captain curse for us all this week. 😬

Flaneur OBrien

Not having an early kick off is a pain.

shmeee

Fielding 10, 1 FT used - Halland -> Havertz

Kepa

Trippier, Zinch, Chilwell (c), Mee

Martinelli, Saka

Kane, Toney, Havertz

No early kick off, be grand to pass the morning.

Good luck all.

COH

For those of you playing BB next week will you be using your FT to replace Ward if he is dropped for Iverson today as is rumoured?
