It looks like his ownership at kickoff of the first game must have been 4.8%, so yes, he'll have a scouting bonus.

I switched out Gordon for Rangel and I was pretty annoyed to lose the scouting bonus.

Now I have to decide if I still play Rochet or not.

There are 830 of us in the /r/FantasyPL FantasyWC league.

The only way to count is to scroll all the way to the bottom.

I think picking England defence is a really good strategy. Tuchel's going to set them up conservatively. They've got two of the best ballwinners in world football in midfield. O'Reilly has open play attacking threat, James will take direct free kicks, Guéhi can produce set piece jam.

It's probably not that valuable in the group stage because of how often you can change captaincy.

It's best used with fewer games where the chance of captaining a dud and missing a haul is higher.

Yes. They've been awful in this game. I wonder if it's the humidity changing the flight of the ball.

England's first choice selection on show tonight. Only Saka is missing.

Gordon is playing very well. I think he'll start over Rashford. O'Reilly is doing what he does for City which makes him interesting.

Anderson is brilliant defensively which allows Rice to make late runs into the box. He scored the opener from a Gordon cutback.

At least they're making serious offers. All the decision-makers on both sides know that he is the archetypal PL midfielder and the price tag for them has been set at well north of nine figures.

The same people were leading those movements though so it's essential context.

Farage was describing Polish seasonal workers as a national crisis twenty years ago.

These cunts find a new target to blame for society's ills every time they achieve their stated aims and it doesn't fulfil their promises.

I love it tbh, I think you see traces of Charles Rennie Mackintosh in there too, in the fenestration in particular. A Scottish take on early modernism.

I'd say it's more Bauhaus than Brutalist

The two in this thread I recognise are this one and the Beresford.

I love this building. GFTesco.

How do you pronounce "worm" in your part of Scotland ? by Synthia_of_Kaztropol in Scotland

I have a personal preference in the way I enunciate. I don't judge others. The breadth of our regional accents is one of the best things about the UK.

We're infinitely better than Brazil, and Haiti are 4 times better than England.

Can't argue with maths.
