I got him for nothing as a waiver claim in my EPL fantasy league. My big money players have not panned out, but this kid has basically kept me at or near the top of the league all season so far.
So I don’t know if he is the creative playmaker Chelsea fans have craved for years, but I do know that he is a key player for Auba Dabba Doo.
Are Wolves the most screwed-over team in the league this year? They did not get an obvious penalty when Onana assaulted their player in the box, and now gave up a penalty that wasn’t - with both cases costing them points. I don’t really care about them one way or another as a team, but I hope they stay up just because it would suck to be relegated with this kind of ref incompetence as the cause.
I think teams can be limited in doing this based on their defensive mid(s). That was one of the things that made N’Golo Kante such a valuable player, he covered so much ground with such a high level of success that it gave his managers a lot of flexibility in terms of how they set up their other midfielders.
Mustafi, because if anything went wrong it would most certainly not be his fault.
I still think Chelsea is going to find a positive way forward under Poch. Can’t say the same about ETH.
I unfortunately was unable to watch that game, but the most interesting thing about these ratings is how the left side got very good ratings and the right side did not. Was it obvious throughout that our left side was the bomb and our right side bombed?
Has there been any more information about this? I saw one short news story several months ago about Paqueta and gambling, but then haven’t heard anything else about it - whereas the gambling by Tonali (and of course Toney) seems to be in the sports news a lot.
For me, Martinelli was better than 5.97. He was the most dangerous attacker we had for the majority of the game.
“We’ve won ten Premier League titles in a row!” (Why should I be the one to bring the pain?)
After the performance yesterday, is there anyone who WON’T try to park the bus against us? City and Liverpool are the only teams in the league that I can see playing normal football against us, everyone else is going to play with a keeper and ten defenders. There is too much risk for most teams to do anything else.
