  • Eh, they are both just spending a lot more money than most of their rivals. They are both using their owners advantages to let them spend more than their rivals by means of questionable fairness (sponsorships which are possible due to their...

    117 (FH) all done. Happy with that, even though it could/should have gone even better, with the bad pick of Salah as (C) even against my gut, and Neto in goal. My mini-league rival Bench Boosted and is on 1pt from the bench (after taking a -8)...

    Replays aren't the only reason for blanks/doubles are they? I'm not confident but isn't it also if teams go out of the FA Cup early and/or stay in the League Cup a long time.

    Need some good scores today, with most of my players still to come. Only Saliba, Saka and Isak have so far played for me, which is fine - but I'm 22pts off a green arrow so that feels a bit rubbish. Also chasing down a mini league rival and I'm...

    My Wildcard GW31 team went fairly well. Foden over Haaland a nice early win on that gamble, though definitely lucky. Also a bit torn on captaincy this week. Not making any transfers, and will make a double transfer next week before FH34. It's...

    I'm looking at 7 (no hits) or 8 with a hit. I could take a -8 but I'm not convinced there is value there, especially in defence. Below is my likely 7. Martinez Porro Bowen Son Luiz Watkins Toney I don't see any likely clean sheets, so -4's...

    Wondering whether to go for a couple of Luton players this week, as it's essentially 6 fixtures (but Luton) vs 2 fixtures for a -4. Current plan with chips is: Wildcard 30/31 Free Hit 34 (I think there is more to be gained than there is lost in...
  • I just don't think the comparison is relevant in modern football. Managers just don't stay in jobs for that long any more. Giving someone 'a few seasons' to find their feet isn't really an option, as they won't be staying for 20 years. Klopp...
