Well-- Aubameyang got a goal, but I missed out on more points because I didn't confirm him as Captain... And Saka didn't get any minutes at all. Stupid game...
-
I'll move this thread to the General Football section as, hopefully, more players sign up. Great start from me: I had Saka picked as I thought he'd be a regular for Arsenal, but he's on the bench...

Alright-- I'm in.

It's fine. I'm fine. Join an inferior Prediction League. I'm fine. It's fine. I'm fine.

What are you doing looking at Celtic stock?

Maybe the jerseys with 'Kent' on the back were just sold out?

Not to worry - Barkerinho to the rescue. That's really bad news. He's an important player for us, and had started the season so well. I feel like this is Aribo's year -- still will be, I think.

Oh-- No Clive Tyldesley for this match.

No Rubber Duck, no sale. #RubberDuckLoyal

That looks like a second string.

Nah. Speed-merchant. I think you're exaggerating his ability, in what were fleeting appearances, but I agree with the general argument. I thought he was a very good prospect, but didn't show it consistently. He's still only 20, so I hope he can improve to force his way into the picture.

I think Barker and Middleton are both speed-merchants. Barker has more skill about him, though, whereas Middleton is quite one-dimensional in this regard. This means that Barker can play across the front line, whereas Middleton can only really play as a winger, just like Jones - they're not used as much, for this reason; we don't play with proper wingers. I will admit Middleton always looked like he knew how to get on the end of things, and assist. I do wonder if that's coloured by the the goals he scored, which tended to be late in games, I think? I don't think Middleton's record is that great: it's coloured a couple of goals, IMO. It is better than Barker's, in terms of end-product, but Middleton played almost three times the number of games. I am surprised that Middleton has not made more appearances. There must be a reason, though. It must be what they bring to the team in terms of overall play. I've been quite pleased with Barker's contribution over the last 2 games. However, I still fully expect to see him dropped when Aribo returns.

Barkerinho is better.
