Posted in general thread....

Ah for the love of Jesus....I think Ill give up.

There's a game tonight!!!

With me sobbing away and complaining from last week, finishing up work, the school run(As I finished early) and doctor's visit...wasn't expecting another kick in the Nut$ this week....😟

If anyone is interested, my VC is still Mitoma !!

Captain is Solake...At least a bit rested, but if he does score big, it's not great for Forest!!!

Ill see what my team looks like when it comes live again!!

Son Hee Chan Salah Saka

Mr Crispy

Welbeck (Gross) to make it 1-1.

Cartman78

Hon Pascal....never doubted you

fplfan12345

If Gross was playing that position all the time then he’d be a steal at the price.

Cartman78

If I'd had the mental bandwidth to wildcard this week I'd have gotten rid of Groß tbh....the 7 points feel like a real bonus right now

COH

Why do I still own a CPL defender 🙃

Merry Christmas all

Dubravka

Saliba Branthwaite Lascelles

Iwobi Salah Son (C) Saka Gordon

Watkins Solanke

Areola Semenyo Akanji Udogie

Darwin out for Watkins. Team is quite slim at the moment and missing some in form players. Need to start looking at shifting AFCON and Asian Cup players.

Bleating Lamb

Well Folks,All the best for the rollercoaster journey which is the GW’s during the festive holidays.!!🙂

Inevitably injuries or fatigued players have to receive careful management of appearances minutes by their managers as the games come ‘thick and fast’ and this can affect their ability to accrue points successfully.

Above are my loyal soldiers for this GW.Hoping for big differential performances from Cunha and Senesi.

ForestFire

Interesting...I might take up my battle again....🤓

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards flagged a potential issue for wide midfielder Alfie Doughty, who picked up a booking in the abandoned game at Bournemouth .

"For some reason Alfie Doughty's booking still counts," he said. "It's like the game didn't happen, but Alfie's booking still counts. It's a strange one.

Will this yellow count in the replayed game😏....Just kidding😊,

But Maybe yellows and reds always count, as you can get them when on the bench, or even after the final whistle??

bantee

Has Ollie scored yet?

Half time and looks like he's not even getting close to scoring.

ForestFire

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121527766#Comment_121527766

Well he's my Captain this week, so likely to miss a penalty before getting sent off!!

edit - goal cancelled

Bailey goal and Watkins assist

Oh no it isn't

ForestFire

So Villa player fouled the goalkeeper (Just about), when his shirt was being pulled above his shoulder, and there was 1 or 2 phases of play after?

I remember a VAR comms at the weekend, where they said, Mutual Pulling!!

Probably right but SU Lucky I think

Benimar

If (and it is an if) that’s a foul by Ramsey, it is absolutely a foul by the SU defender first, so should have been a penalty.

Mr Crispy

Dull game all the same.

Ace2007

Archer goal

Xander10

CS gone and no Villa goal fest

Maybe they won't be winning the league

Father Hernandez

Took a -8 to get double Villa defence, Archer my 3rd sub.

Not sure this game could've gone much worse for me.

Cartman78

Oh FFS....you have to laugh.... brought in Martinez for the minimum guaranteed 6 pointer this GW pre wildy

Ace2007

Zaniolo goal (Luiz)

Ace2007

Cash yellow - that's 5th yellow card

Xander10

Cash yellow

Ace2007

FT 1-1, as someone with no Villa players that went quite well, would have been even better had Villa not scored.

With Watkins c and a def that was about as bad as it could have went

Mr Crispy

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED!

Archer on a lot of benches including mine

2nd sub here

Crikey, hopefully Watkins picks up some points over Christmas. Meanwhile lets go captain Son

Bleating Lamb

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121528094#Comment_121528094

He is a very good player,can see some of the top 6 trying to sign him next Summer.

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121528094#Comment_121528094

With it being a BGW I can imagine he’s either played or will sub in for most.

F1ngers

Nice, Digne clean sheet.

Not nice, Captain Ollie.

ShagNastii

That result was a gift. All my rivals captained Watkins.

A bit of action from Son would give me great traction in my leagues.

Cartman78

Sitting on 21 points atm and a fat green arrow but expecting all sorts of cataclysmic damage today.

My Martinez keeper punt failed big time - a Turner haul later on will seal the deal surely 😉

Not too bothered by Watkins captain blank as everyone in my leagues have him.

Late assists for Groß and Luiz and BPS for both were early Christmas gifts

Areola starts

Perfect, Turner is due a stomer so...clean sheet full point s and a Forest win then...(I have Areola in My team and Turner on the bench)

Garnacho 1 on 1 and tries a rabona 😂

Ah lucky you, everyone around me has Son as well. I thought I was going to be the only one!

Cartman78

Kudus, Evans and Bruno booked.

<Insert tumbleweed gif>

Areola save point I see, shame it's on my bench. Should have known United would be hopeless upfront.
