Same for me with Grealish. A great player but much underused or not at all.

Quote: Feeoree @ 16th September 2023, 9:08 AMYeah, I try not to use the wild card so early (I normally intend to wait until the Christmas matches/January), this is the earliest I've used it I think. Suspensions and injuries. Ended up keeping Rashford but benched him for this week.
But you get another Wild Card after Christmas (Dec 30th to be precise at 1.30pm)
"Ended up keeping Rashford but benched him for this week" OK, ignore my prediction at your peril 😎
I've gone a bit "left-field" (in more ways than one) with my captaincy this week. Fortune favours the brave...*
Yet again I see Darwin/Nunez is not starting. I wish they'd make up their minds. I never know whether to put him in my starting XI, put him on the bench or get rid altogether.
* Edit: Although I'm not the only one I see.
A big grudge match at the bottom of the H2H fixtures this week. I wonder if I can get a bet on the number of bookings.

Thus spake the Great Fantasy God from above :-
"Verily! Thou shalt be shat on from a great height, as Marcus the Mighty wilst come forth and score a hat-trick against Brighton"
Salah better buck up his ideas, or he'll be joining Rashford on the dole.

That didn't go as well as I'd hoped 😒
Looks to be week where if you score badly you won't lose much ground because most people have.
Just 23 points separating 2nd place and 8th place.
No doubt my two Arsenal defenders will concede in the 101st minute.
I see a number of people gave the armband to Maddison - how sporting of them 😁
It must be a bad week when I am up with the week's top scorers.
Anyway, there's a 6 pointer in the H2H between me and that Fat Owl THIS Saturday 23rd (by 14.30) - get yer predictions in now!
See, I can be a good sport too 🧐
(snigger.................)

A lot depends on whether the Owl reverts to a more orthodox captaincy or whether he persists with last week's experiment.

You stick with Maddison - good choice! 😁
You tried something different Billy and it didn't work that week but it might have on another occasion
Well done for having a bit of imagination, should stand you in good stead for the rest of the season
