Gameweek 2 Match day Thread.

Ace2007 · 21-09-2020 12:18PM

There's been 16 games in the league so far with no draw - wonder will be get any tonight.

While crowd undoubtedly affect games - it's obv having a positive impact on players who may normally freeze when playing in front of thousands of supports, or who get all sort of abuse aimed at them.

I also think though that VAR has changed the way player defend - gone are the days of hanging out of players and pulling them to the ground - as more likely to give away a penalty now - and the modern day player doesn't know the art of defending - they've grown up with it being ok to pull/drag a player in the box - we are seeing more penalties and more goal this season, and given the precedence of how they have used VAR in the opening 2 GW's it will last for the season.

Slight you say.

I don’t see any updates on the injury thread.

Was it a precaution sub or stretcher job ?

Whadda ya say whadda ya know ?

Stretcher job?!

The man strolled off with ease haha.

I’d say he felt tightness in a muscle or something and didn’t want to risk it.

Balls.

Took a -4 before a price rise earlier.

Transferred out Son for Willian (whoops) as part of a -12 but Justin and Bamford were also brought in and did the business. Ramsdale, Egan and KdB to play tonight.

73 points so far, but the -12 takes the shine off things!

115 points this week...somehow :P

You support spurs dont you. A good week to play with your heart. I'm assuming you had kane and son.

Chesty08 · 21-09-2020 02:43PM

60 with Egan left to play.

68 last week.

People not happy with scores of ~140 points. I don’t know but I think that is a more then solid start. 153 is top 100k!!

It’s only 2 GW’s and it’s been a very erratic start from a lot of teams.

Long way to go but I think you need to be giving it 4/5 weeks til everything starts to take shape.

I was clinging hope vs hope that Steer would play.
Come on in 0 point McCarthy

Just noticed 4.5 mid Oli Burke...

Chesty08 · 21-09-2020 05:15PM

Hopefully my 4.5m OOP enabler produces tonight

It doesn't matter that McCarthy got 0 points. Once he played you won't get anyone subbing in for him.

Think he meant he had Steer starting and Mccarthy on the bench

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-09-2020 06:13PM

Wow Egan sent off.

Egan red card. Could this round get any worse?

Mother of god.

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-09-2020 06:34PM

Sheffield United pen. Basham fouled.

Martinez saves from Lundstram!

extra gravy · 21-09-2020 06:37PM

Martínez you legend! Finally something goes right this week

Pete_Cavan · 21-09-2020 06:38PM

Martinez you beautiful beautiful man!

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-09-2020 06:39PM

Worth pointing out Burke made that opportunity with a lovely ball. Looks like Sheffield United are the team for the 4.5m options. Hoping Brewster goes there as well.
