Is it like drinking stout with lindt chilli chocolate?

Kind of but not as good.

Its very odd drinking beer and getting hits of spice.

Okay. Fair enough.

Has there been a less desirable grand final than Geelong vs Richmond 2020?

 

[por_please_ya]

Geelong for the win.
Should have been Port v Brisbane.

How's your FPL team looking?

Went with the wildcard this week, and instantly regretted not going with Mane.

So many good mid options...

I was lazy and luckily went KDB -> Mane. Means I have 3 4.0 defenders

I didn't know there were any 4.0 defenders with starting spots left now that van Aanholt was back to take Mitchell's spot at Palace.

That's a good team!

I went Struijk, hopefully he gets a couple of games with the Leeds injuries, then I can upgrade Mitchell. Werner -> Brewster eventually to fund that is the plan.

You've already learned I have some knowledgeable friends, another one advises on one of those fantasy football sites. Every year I'm beating him for 3/4 of the season while he builds up team value, then when 2nd wildcard time happens he has £2m more or so and easily beats me.

Oof - yeah that lack of depth could hurt you in a pandemic-affected season. Great midfield though.

Werner is the interesting one there. I had him at the start, but scrapped him when I saw how dysfunctional Chelsea looks. As you said, he's where you'll get the value to upgrade those defenders.

I finally brought in DCL this week after his hot streak was killing me. Watch him blank now.

Thanks, Werner -> Brewster will allow me to upgrade Bissouma and a defender, and have a proper 3-5-2! Ah, Mane's just got a yellow card.

Loonerty is the resident Chelsea expert, though this is Werner's last chance.

I'm stubborn - my WC is always left to the last minute and I persist with players far too long!


Edit: Werner starts at no9!!

Yeah, I usually hold my wildcard until December, but the October international break always seems like a good spot for it. KDB's injury was the final straw this time round. Pulled the trigger, and not regretting it yet.

Yep, put aside some time just after Christmas to nail mine.

How's your team looking ClarkeM ?

Agent93 holy cow Ganna. What a ride.

No regrets!!

No regrets!!

Scrap everything I said about Brewster. If Werner doesn't fire, it's Werner -> DCL tonight and I get £1.7m to upgrade my defence

And he finally opens his account.
Looks like your defence will be staying crappy for another week!

What sort of game is this???

 

[Loonerty]

A Chelsea game

 

[Loonerty]

Would like to see Kovacic on for Kante.
Southampton have tightened up and we can't pass through them. Need another way to move the ball.

 

[Loonerty]

Absolutely thought I was on the soccer board there.
