Pretty sure it's a UK only company.

Probably not much gain to be made from a FH with that team. Seems as good a week as there is left for TC unless you plan on gambling the chip on somebody other than the Robot.

I got less than 100 pages in before I gave up on it. Might have just been a mood thing - I presume you'd say it's worth another crack at it?

Hmmph! That would have been useful before I sold him ๐Ÿ˜ 

I do wonder what will happen with Palmer back, but probably fine to hold until he settles back into the team and we know which Palmer is back - the goalscoring freak or the one who can't hit a barn door from a yard away ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Speaking as somebody who sold Enzo for Amad this week you probably don't want my opinion ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Whereas I'm probably going to FH this week so that I don't end up with somebody like Doku or Foden stinking up my squad for the forseeable ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Or do what James have done now Tim Booth can't quite make the high notes - bring in a female vocalist to support, which has the added benefit of opening out different options for new material.

Oh I'm fine with the trading model. I just don't think he's good enough in any one position to be a first pick & be sold on that basis.

If a big club want to pay huge money for a utility player then great, sell him, but that's highly unlikely to happen IMHO

25.11.2025 11:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The model is buy cheaply and sell for 10+ million but that can't be for every signing - you need some continuity & some squad depth, which big Dujon fits perfectly for.

Also, he's 26 so resale value will be minimal compared to his potential overall value to the squad across several seasons.

25.11.2025 11:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

TBH he's not somebody I'd be looking for good re-sale value from - he's very much a player you want around for a number of years as a utility player.

Think Bomber Brown - not the #1 pick in any position but lots of game time as can play anywhere to a decent standard with high energy.

Depends which models are telling you that.

If it's the #FPL statistical models then take it with a pinch of salt, but if it's the Playboy Bunnies then you should definitely show willingness to do whatever they suggest ๐Ÿ™ƒ

As long as he supports one of the old firm sky is fine, but anyone else and you'd be better just getting him a dodgy stick.

I've got rid, but then i only bought him in gw8 and he's been firing blanks since then, so it was likely me that jinxed him anyway.

All you holders are gonna haul now thanks to me ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Team with more flags than a gathering of "concerned citizens protecting are kids"

Team with more flags than a gathering of "concerned citizens protecting are kids"

Seems a lifetime ago now, but very small green arrow last week.

Have a very itchy trigger finger but will try and hold out to pressers, then pretty much anything goes as OR still over 3.5m so it's time to attack it.

Any leftfield suggestions?

Personally I'm looking as O'Reilly as a good ML differential but comes down to what suits your team, need of funds for elsewhere in team etc so no "right" answer there.

I'm probably in the sell camp.

Keep seeing he's out for around a month, but that's something like 15 GW's at this time of year so too long to bench ๐Ÿ™ƒ

On the Clarke situation, worth noting how things have gone for West Ham since their fans demanded a change of manager from the European Trophy winning one because of the way the team played.

Be careful what you wish for ๐Ÿ™ƒ
