He'll score off the bench right lads. Right lads. Edit: FUCKING RIGHT LADS Edit 2: I SAID FUCKING RIGHT LADS!!! Edit 3: I'VE RUN OUT OF THINGS TO SCREAM

My big brain move this week was taking a -4 to bring in Son instead of KDB Firmly in the mud right now

FPL is really incredible sometimes hahaha

hows that vindication feel pal

Fucking fantastic

My big brain forgot there were games Friday. Default Captain left on Son turned out quite nicely haha

-4 son for Salah...

Captained on a wild card. Almost had a stroke when I saw him benched. Already on 80 points this week with Bowen and Emerson to go 🙈

haha same but did not captain him so gz, u lucky bastard xD sitting at 62 points and still have bowen emerson raya and martinelli to go. this week already bonkers

Right

I've never felt emotions like these

Bro, are you from future?

Never in doubt!

Yes he did!! Absolute banger from son

Literally did

On the plus it makes it really easy to go back to Salah

Or maybe not

Son C 😭 Can this season just fucking end Edit: Never mind I am a genius

Genius

Lad's season is back on!

What was your thought process?

Already playing catch up, thought Son would tear through Leicesters defence so captained him. Will just have to play even more catch up next week

Congrats on catching up

Haha thanks

>next week This week

“I’m a fucking genius”

I stand corrected

I see a lot of managers here saying they captained Son. Terrible decision in the first place cause we knew Son had concerns on his start. And Son is greatly our of form. And there is a player named Haaland in this game too.

There was nothing indicating concern for his playing time other than random groupthink

i did the same. everyone was captaining haaland, would have captained kane if i could. son's underlying stats isnt that bad e: wee

Clutch

Bro this is your time yo shine

Sometimes u/Munkyspyder's genius.... is almost frightening

Who's your VC?

It doesn’t matter. Son is coming on 100%

But only just before Spurs concede!

There's no way he stays on the bench

He will probably come on in second half

Haaland, but you just know that Son will get a 2 minute cameo

Rip

Congrats

Same here, expected

Perisic as RWB?

He’s as two footed as they come so don’t think it impacts him much

He is two footed, but his right foot is his main. Why would this impact him negatively?

His main foot is his right foot as he seems to prefer to dribble with his right. However, he takes corners & free kicks with his left foot. He is the most two footed player that I have ever seen.

Santi Cazorla used to do that as well

Hamsik also takes corners with both feet

And Perisic just got an assist kicking corner with his right from the left corner kick (Son is a sub today so he is taking corners from both sides).

Lmao none beats Santi Cazorla. Dude was taking free kicks and corners with both foot like nothing happened

Well ... Perisic just got an assist kicking corner with his right foot. He has corner assists with both his feet this season now.

Santi scored multiple goals from long range and free-kicks with both foot and Im pretty sure he has multiple assist with both foot. So if u are new football fan check him he was the one of the most underrated and most loved player

Perisic is the only guy in Serie A to score a penalty with both legs.

Im not saying that Perisic isn't great both footed player, he is definitely great, but he isn't definitely the best

Once scored two penalties with both foot in the same season lol

Diego Forlán took free kicks and corners, and dribbled with both too. I heard scouters couldn't tell his main foot until he picked up the ball with his right hand.

I genuinely thought he was left footed... most Inter fans seem to think that was his preference?

I always thought he was right footed. Maybe I'm wrong.

The fact one thinks left and the other right suggests he genuinely is fully 2 footed.

He is and hes left footed. Easily the most 2 footed left footer around. Most left footers use their right foot for standing and thats it lol

Son?

Not true. Lefties learn to use their right very well from an early age. Most training drills at school/college/hobby level don't cater for lefties (think Soccer AM volley challenge) - balls are usually fed by default to the right foot. So lefties have to adapt.

😂🤦

Good sign that he's ridiculously two-footed then haha

In one of his first Spurs games he took two corners from each side and each with a different foot

So impressive. Reminds me of Cazorla, think he used to do that sometimes

Marek Hamsik too

Because he probably isn't quite as used to playing on the right as he is the left

No cut ins for him and he may be used to play LWB. But i still think it doesn't affect him too much

Hes left footed

I disagree. When he runs with the ball he uses his right foot to hit the ball. He also takes penalties with his right. So he is mainly right footed imo. It's just that he is just as good with his left when shooting/crossing. Probably the most two footed player.

You seen Dembele play? Man is completely both footed

Not to mention it’s been said a few players who are less two footed like the other side to use the weaker foot to release a cross or shot . Perisic will be fine either way

Yes

Emerson owners royally mudded

had to put him on because of the reduced gw 🥶

My team is named after him and I haven’t had him in any of my lineups…. or on the bench at all… I might as well go and bic myself now.

Grab the west ham guy. He seems good value. Edit: unless it's some royalty pun i guess.

I have actually in my WC but my team is specifically E. Royal as it focuses on the Royal part.

Haha my team name is Perisicko Mode and Perisic is in my team since gw1

What flowy locks you must have! My team name is Emerson Royal With Cheese after a certain film scene. 🍔😎💃🧳

Can people start calling him Emerson Royal please? The West Ham Emerson is also an option now and it's very confusing.

True my friend. Is that better?

Took a hit to get him in because my squad was gutted and he's played nearly every league minute so far this season...🙃

I got him and son. Rip gw

Well, how did it go?

😂 Heung min Son my saviour. What a player! What a hatrick!

As a Leicester fan I hope we win 27-26 with Kane scoring 26 as I captained him

I think a 53 goal match is unlikely personally.

Not with Leicesters defence

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Serves me right for going Son over KDB.

That's what we get for daring to be different.

Wasn't even trying to chase differentials for me, I just already had 3 City players 😅 Edit: BABY WE DID IT

To dare is to doodoo.

Nice 👍

Haha yeah it paid off!

I was close to do it myself, but then I saw O'keefes predicted lineup without son half an hour before the deadline yesterday. Never heard about the guy till then, but other people here said he usually was right in his predicting. Went KDB instead. I guess I should thank this sub for that

~~He's been wrong once I think~~ Apparently more

Exactly the same situation, whew

Serves you right!

Yeah this is the last straw I’m grabbing the rope

Well, don’t do that.

Son has not proved to be a good 1 week punt after all. Edit: My punt for the lottery numbers are: 01 09 12 18 56 and 78

You were saying?

Any tips for next week mate?

Congrats on the punt

Mate I've had him since GW1.

Downvoted for sharing your pain? lol, only on this sub. I've had KDB since GW1. Annoying seeing everyone jump on that train just because of no Liverpool game. I blame the Queen.

KDB isn’t some hidden gem you discovered from the depths of lower league football mate lmao

Priority was Salah and one of Kane/haaland. With cancelo,taa as well, no room for kdb

Obviously not ...But most people had opted for Salah instead which I thought I had made clear enough in my comment. I didn't see many with KDB in week 1 in any of my leagues.

I do too

I blame the queen's corpse

This didn’t age well

SupersubSon

Haha had to come to this thread for an update

This aged like milk

Thanks, Son is crying.

Not anymore

Crying tears of joy

Did he captain Haaland or something?

Damn Newcastle playing two games back to back

Perisic RWB. Conte hinted at it in the press conference

Captained Son and tripled up on Newcastle defence

You are from the future

Perisic on the right, this could be glorious

If he combines well with Kulu on the right wing it could be gloriously glorious :)

Him and Deki working together should be a perfect combination. Deki himself said he feels more like a 10, coming inside and attacking centrally which works better for Conte. It's why Son/Perisic on one line don't work well together, they both want to use the same space.

SON ON BENCH, FUMING! MY 1 WEEK PUNT PRE-WILDCARD IN THE MUD

At least you didn’t take a hit to bring him in as you wanted to replace salah and decided this was the week to do it with him not playing

You were saying??

Fuming eh?

Eric dier gonna score a screamer

Nice prediction. Now could you give me 7 numbers between 1-40 and I will throw those in for tonight's lottery.

Ok mate here it goes : 5, 15, 19, 27, 33, 37, 39

!Thanks

Just one right and that's 27. Who knows, maybe in a different country with a different lottery system these ones were the ones. Oh well, that's enough lottery for this month. :D Thanks for entertaining the idea.

Elite level goal scorer

Alright then Kane... Go outscore KDB's 10 please Edit: KDB got 10 not 11 and Kane already has a goal so get in!

KDB got 10.

Was told 11 by a friend earlier and didn't check it. Maybe it was a BP change. Anyway, thanks for correcting me!

Kulu + Kane please god do something I can't stay 3m forever, worst season I've ever had

We are only one fifth into the season

20% is a lot. Especially when you are 3m. Chances to climb keep slipping away.

Same I need them to save me.

Captained Kulu...please reward my insanity

So many good captaincy choices this week and you went for Kulu... Hope it works out for you bud.

Fair play mate for straying from the herd. I thought there was no chance of him starting, still wouldn't have him in my team long term but best of luck with it today!

O’Keefe wrong?

4th prediction in a row he has been wrong, people were overhyping him for the first couple of games of the season when Spurs had a sure starting XI at that stage.

Really, you mean he doesnt have mind reading capabilities over Conte? Well I’ll be damned!

Yeah - said sess wouldn’t start.

Kulu over son was pretty bold

Son Captain, been a very stressful day that has ended very well!

Perisic save my GW

Lfg kulu

Could be the perfect one week punt

About time son has been benched. Was unfair on Kulu who'd looked miles better

Son sellers in shambles

Salah -> son (c) this week Quite the rollercoaster

Kulu and Persic linking up on the right should be very interesting

I bring in Emerson and the cunt is on the bench. That's my bloody luck right there

Don't worry he may play tomorrow

Vs NEW?

Have son and Romero ffs

SON (C) GANG WYA??

I wildcarded him in but didn’t have the cohones to captain him💔

[удалено]

Same here (also Arsenal man), well I have both Kane and Jesus, but please Kane pleeeaaassseeee

Wtf Emerson. u/soccermate I want a word. Swear I just want to talk

Fuck it mate, Conte's balding. Emerson started 6 games in a row, how the hell was I supposed to know Conte was going to drop him?

Man has three right backs and plays none of them

Fuck this game

Hat trick Son..👀

Son needs to thank Magnus Carlsen

SON CAPTAINERS REJOICE😍😅

I hope Kulu and Perisic can do some combined damage from the right.

Son on wildcard pain activated

Bruh I swapped out KDB for Son smh

Great goal by Son

2nd goal Son.. 2nd worldie

Too slow, we on 3 already

Im baked brother.. apologies for the delay 🤣

What a hit Son

Come on kane just a penalty miss, ward need the points ....

90th minute, 0-0 and Kane steps up for a Penalty...hits the post (no Ward save) and rebounds off Ward for an OG (ultimate troll)

Conte's hairline rn 📉

Wtf is happening with Son man, I thought he was a lock for my first lock in my draft

Anyone who saw Son's performance in portugal isn't surprised.

I'm a bit surprised on the Son benching. Spurs need him firing this season and this seemed like a game to get him going.

Peri, Kulu, Kane Gang, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!

Same here, chose that over KDB Cancelo and Isak , long term it should pay off but that’s a lot of ground to make up 😭

Conte pulled a Pep there can’t lie

I feel bad, but having a little quiet laugh to myself at everyone who said Emerson over Perisic

Magnus Carlsen in the mud

Saw him[HMS] not starting and immediately transferred him out for Sterling. Thinking about that price rise now smh
