    He's the guy who isn't fit to shine either James McClean's or Scott Hogan's boots.

    Someone posted this on Fantasy Football Scout. :D
    GW1: Greenwood likely to make his first start, Connolly not in the game
    GW2: Greenwood likely to make his first start, Connolly is added to the game
    GW8: Greenwood likely to make his first start, Connolly starts and scores a goal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Dunk is impressive at one end, Connolly at the other. Spurs hapless.

    Avoid all spurs and united players imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,840 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Connolly my third sub. Sigh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Some twitterers are absolute spoofers. Anyway my team:

    Henderson
    TAA Digne Lowton Lundstram
    Salah Lanzini Buendia
    Aguero(c) Abraham Pukki

    Button Dendoncker KDB Hanley

    Done Barnes to Abraham and Hayden to Dendoncker to afford it. Want Hayden back when he returns. Good bench option.

    Kept KDB which will probably prove a mistake somehow.

    He's always going to be a bench option for you though.

    If your only starting 10 players then yes you have made a mistake


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy

    Selective memory on my part. He'll either not recover when expected or those who swap him out for a week get in a player who runs rampant then just get KDB back in while I polish my transfer I saved minus the points.

    Lloris (C), Sissoko, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Ndombele, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Kane

    For a horrible second there, I thought you'd captained Lloris!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Spurs looking like scoring at all?

    Maybe an OG?

    Maybe an OG?

    Whatever is going on it’s a poisonous camp at the moment
    Avoid
    And then straight on them when new manager comes in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,073 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Lundstram
    Mahrez Mount Son Yarmalenko
    Pukki Auba Aguero

    Ryan Cantwell Soyuncu Rico

    Going without Sterling but surely Mahrez & Aguero can make up the difference.

    Spurs are dead.

    It's going to be hard to hold Son through the international break.

    Cantwell starts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,304 ✭✭✭munster87


    Dunk assist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Son chests the ball down about three feet from goal and then missed the ball when he went for the volley. Could have easily had a goal there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Dendoncker to Connolly a no brainer for me...

    I feel sorry for anyone that brought in Son this week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Connolly down and stretching his groin.
    Unsure if injured or just resting his massive cojones

    Edit subbed off now


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭pimpmyhat


    Dunk 1st sub hurts

    Hopefully its minor, would be very tough on him after such a fabulous game.

    It was the right call, on paper Spurs should have put in a few.

    Why? They weren't forced to and spurs have been rubbish for weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Great save from Ryan again there, he really wants that clean sheet

    Anyone have an idea what is really going on there ? Heard all the rubbish about Vertonghen and girlfriends but is it still to do with Pochettinos Book ? Thought they sorted that last season ?

    Lovely Burn clean sheet. :) I was thinking of transferring him out for Tomori for a hit so glad I held firm for this gameweek at least.
