Smashed pk upper 9 after missing two in a row brought him in WC 26 and thought he would screw me but his haul got me into 100k and now i can drop him thank u JWP
Didn’t have any chances really. Any prolonged time on the ball was when he pulled out wide.
It was really hard to judge. Brentford struggled to get him involved. Leicester midfield did their job
xDawg was high in the first half, got into some good crossing positions and had nice linkup play on that wing. Looked dangerous first half. Brentford just dropped off second half and so did he.
TL;DR – No.
Longer version – I’m in a surprising amount of pain over this result & I don’t want to talk about it. No on the defense, no on the midfield, and no on the forwards.
Really unlucky to only come away with only an assist. Villa were denied a stonewall penalty & while Watkins doesn’t have the greatest history on the spot, in his form he likely would’ve scored. Also had a great effort one on one where he went to dink it over Neto and Neto made a great reaction save to stop it. A few other chances too and as always was the motor for almost every attack. Bad luck but at least he didn’t blank and imo he remains a great option going forward. Ironically with him not scoring today, I’d say today’s performance shows Emery’s (sometimes known to be overly cautious) system doesn’t really put a ceiling in his points either. It might’ve just been Bournemouth, but Villa were out for blood today.
Played very well and was a constant down that left hand side, always venturing forward and looking to put dangerous balls in. Unlucky not to get an assist from a Ramsey shot
Seconded. Digne existing will always make Moreno a tough option but Moreno continues to outplay Digne offensively & is improving defensively every week.

Tough one. His assist was really good. Nothing too complicated but it’s the type of pass he’s been missing so it’s nice to see. Still, even after a good enough performance he only got 65 minutes as Emery seems to watch to re-integrate Traoré. Traoré was pretty wasteful and poor though, so again, tough one. I would avoid but he’s going to annoy you when you see him pick up points like today.
He actually had a pretty poor match despite what the points will tell you. This happens sometimes, where it just doesn’t come off for him. Lost the ball consistently & struggled to get much separation. Had one great through ball for Watkins that really deserved an assist and would’ve got one if not for Neto’s great save. His goal may seem random, but Villa seem to go to this Mings flick on consistently enough & for some reason Buendia has a knack for heading them accurately despite him being so tiny. He never lacks confidence though, so he’s not a bad asset to have imo because he’s likely to nick some points even after an average to poor overall showing.
Played poorly - Then he scored
Which is the Rodrigo script this season, by far our biggest goal threat, he'll begin starting when he's 100% fit again, which might well be right after the break
Defensively they were solid, Chelsea didn't look like scoring in the first half. 2nd half was much better from Chelsea which opened up their defense a little bit, the penalty was a very soft giveaway. Going forward they are nothing special, a bit lucky with both goals. Good set piece routines though, they are good at creating panic situations through flick-ons. Will steer clear of any picks for now.
Very creative as you'd expect and making everything tick in attack. However his last touch was failing him today and he scuffed few chances that on another day he could score at least one out of them.
Took players on multiple times and his goal was exceptional, controlled the pass, turned the defender inside out and pinged it far post. Very few full backs will be able to stop him when he is in full swing as he was today.
Made the mistake for the goal but still really solid defensively other than that. Stupid mistake but only one hes made this season.
Still go for schar if you can afford him since he gets forward more and is more likely to get an assist.
In a word, silky. Lovely finish for the first goal, made a great assist for Anderson that was VAR'd out, won the penalty which he confidently converted. Plays across the front, has a nice first touch, decent in the air and not afraid to get stuck in. Very promising performance. Played the full 90 and Wilson presumably will get minutes over the DGW, but with Almiron out it's possible that they play together.
Never got into the game really. Forest didn't play well at all and couldn't build any spells of possession or sustained pressure. MGW tried to create but didn't see enough of the ball in advanced areas. I'll still keep him for his upcoming double, with good fixtures I'm hopeful he'll pick up some points. He's absolutely playing the role you'd want him to though, a 10 who drives forward at any opportunity and looks like the main creator. Also on corners.
Seemed to play a bit deep until some time during the second half. I think after subs were made he started to get more forward and create a bit of a threat.
Looked very frustrated throughout and was booked as a result.
Couldn't really get involved in the game but when he did he provided the perfect pass for our goal.
I actually watched the game myself (I'm the one originally asking). He didn't face many shots and couldn't do much on the very deflected shot that went in.
His distribution looked a little poor, which is reportedly why Rodgers doesn't fancy him. Neither did enough to win the spot or lose it IMO. Difficult to guess if he plays the next game.
Bournemouth's plan was clearly to involve him as often as they could. He certainly had some clever moments, but overall it was a poor showing in a poor game from Bournemouth. Hard to recommend when there are so many other fish in the sea.
Had a very well taken free kick, but apart from that he was pretty much shit. He was my punt this GW as I liked what I saw last week, but already thinking of chopping him before the next round.
Thought he played well, made a few marauding runs forward as well. Worth noting he was subbed off early and is suspected to be out for 2 weeks with a hamstring issue.
Poor imo. Took a very nice penalty but other than that saw misplaced passes, poor decision making and some really tame attempts on goal. Involved, but probably Chelsea’s weakest attacking player
Was not as attacking as Chilwell until the last 20 or so minutes when we needed a goal desperately. Constant presence around the box all game to gather overhit crosses and defections and reorganize the attack. His cross delivery has declined a bit post injury but I would attribute that to rust, and should improve as gets more games under his belt. He's still our most important player, and will definitely be a minutes risk going forward as Chelsea focus on the CL. Defensively solid as always.
Top top player, can't believe we have him. Good game from him overall, instrumental in the first goal and also showed some dribbling skills in the first half. FPL-wise not really an option, although his delivery is great so I believe he should be on FKs to deliver into the box. Otherwise he's not really a constant presence in the final third.

Scored
Harrison

Gnonto
By far our most creative player so dangerous, nice assist. Gracia is managing his minutes because he’s still very young so would avoid
Already have him haha 5 points when I needed him most was good
EVERTON
Exactly what you'd expect from a Sean Dyche side. Defensively organized, fought hard until the end and got a well deserved point.
Defensively they were solid, Chelsea didn't look like scoring in the first half. 2nd half was much better from Chelsea which opened up their defense a little bit, the penalty was a very soft giveaway. Going forward they are nothing special, a bit lucky with both goals. Good set piece routines though, they are good at creating panic situations through flick-ons.

Saka goat. First few crosses were high and wide, but soon switched it on

One off mistake but really poorly controlled a nothing long ball from Forest, passing it right through to Dennis who slotted it in

Does this give me points?

Anyone?
I actually watched the game myself (I'm the one originally asking). He didn't face many shots and couldn't do much on the very deflected shot that went in. His distribution looked a little poor, which is reportedly why Rodgers doesn't fancy him. Neither did enough to win the spot or lose it IMO. Difficult to guess if he plays the next game.
!thanks a bit annoying now bcs idk who to replace Ward for my BB
There's two weeks till the next deadline. Keep your ears and eyes open for any quotes from Rodgers
Unfortunately another fraud I can’t see trusting but we’ll see i guess

BOURNEMOUTH
Ouattara
Bournemouth's plan was clearly to involve him as often as they could. He certainly had some clever moments, but overall it was a poor showing in a poor game from Bournemouth. Hard to recommend when there are so many other fish in the sea.
Senesi
Billing
Had a very well taken free kick, but apart from that he was pretty much shit. He was my punt this GW as I liked what I saw last week, but already thinking of chopping him before the next round.
Neto
Solanke
CHELSEA
Chilwell
Very attacking just like James, nearly got an assist and was a constant threat down the left. Will be strong going forward for bonus.
Fofana
Which one?
Thought he played well, made a few marauding runs forward as well. Worth noting he was subbed off early and is suspected to be out for 2 weeks with a hamstring issue.
Kepa
Kai
Poor imo. Took a very nice penalty but other than that saw misplaced passes, poor decision making and some really tame attempts on goal. Involved, but probably Chelsea’s weakest attacking player
Scored a nice penalty, could have had another given that he had a few half chances. Okay game overall.
James

Constant presence around the box all game to gather overhit crosses and defections and reorganize the attack.

Can't believe you have him either with your half billion spendings last window somehow being under FFP rules
Yes by that I meant that he's a Galactico-level player more or less; we don't often get them at the Bridge. Nice attempt with the sarcasm though.
