The College Dropout

Scores that chance in the first half last season.

Thought he was decent and provided cohesion even if he wasn’t great on the ball.

Was everything I feared. Hope he can get better. but I don’t see anything in the lad.

It’s a big factor imo.

Aye. Bruno injured too.

Second half been awful. We are never a good team without Joelinton and Willock.

Lloyd Kelly and Schar is a bit of a glimpse into a Schar Guehi partnership. Too weak in the air.

Don’t know if he was injured but we looked disjointed as soon as we took Willock off.

Tonali not deepest. Back to play RCM that he’s done badly.

Was it not Joelinton he ran off?

Can’t blame Pope, it’s right in the corner. Poor from Bruno, Joelinton and Kelly.

Gordon takes so many touches.

Yeh this is a disaster.

Missed 2 massive chances. We can win this. Kelly and Schar getting to grips with Antonio.

Lost a lot of confidence since then.

Didn’t want to single him out but yeh.

Get Joelinton back on the left.

Kelly and Schar aren’t winning any duels and it’s giving West Ham momentum and confidence. They are getting bullied. Dan Burn wouldn’t stand for this.

I think Jackson is a good choice if your budget allows. That front 3 probably means you don’t /wont own all 3 Palmer, Saka and Salah.

Aye it’s a game of probabilities.

You lads take my posts too seriously and are easily rattled. While I’m the Champ, I’ll be referring to myself as such. The game has a large component of luck. But like real life, you often have to make your own luck. It’s more luck than random. Luck as in - increasing your own chances by picking players with good fixtures, underlying stats, ability, confidence. The Salah vs Haaland thing has had a big element of luck. Similar underlying statistics - wildly different outcomes.

It's definitely not a beyond-obvious move this week for an -8 Bournemouth beat City and Arsenal at home and was the better team against us. I think their best games are to come. I wasn't convinced it was worth a further hit, and Isak against Wham is a better fixture than Bournemouth away. Maybe it's the obvious move with 3 FTs but not with 1. Worst rank in the last 3 seasons is 112k. That's enough to win most casual mini-leagues. I expect to do no worse than 250k in a game of 6m active players. I'm good at the game, sorry if that offends you pal.

Bottled doing a minus 8 to get Salah Isak and Joao Pedro. Only did the first 2 which has already paid off but JP would’ve been a fantastic hit already. The Champ is good at this game. Need to trust my gut more. Patience really worked out for me last season but I have to remember I actually liked my team which is why I could be patient. I need JP and Saka to be happy with my team. Then I can make small changes from there.

Missed the goal. But I’ve liked the look of him. Another Cobham grad I think

This is not entirely true. Most clubs have to invest vast sums to get onto the gravy train. When they get on it they want to be able to stay on it or rejoin quickly.
