I just cannot wait to see Emi playing for us.  For me this is the most exciting signing we've made for a good few years.  He's straight in my FPL team, although I'm a bit worried about jinxing him (which is daft because of course that isn't a real thing)

I’d hate to have a camera follow me round on the first day at work!
Poor lad.

And being caught on camera being beaten by Conor at the bleep test

It definitely is, mate. Kept picking Watkins and he didn't score. Dropped him and he scored a hat-trick. Called up Grealish and he got injured straightaway.

No Villa players this season.

Buendia and Watkins in my first draft.  Will have Martiez too if funds allow, but looking tricky.  Are you in the H&V league?

I had Konsa and Watkins in my first draft.

No McGinn in spite of being named after him.

Was done weeks ago. Link in the usual thread in the games forum. But if you were in before, you're automatically in again.

Oh okay, I never ever look in the games forum. Think it might be worth putting in Heroes Discussion just until the season starts?

Two major benefits:

(i) would be more noticeable so more likely to attract new players

(ii) it really annoys Risso having loads of those sort of threads in Heroes Discussion

Emi Buendia will be one of the top premier league players next season.
And for those wondering about set pieces and things well Emi and Ashley Young have been bought to improve that.

The complete package Buendia is probably one of the most gifted and exciting footballers we at Villa could realistically sign this summer.

Basically all the wide forward and midfielders rolled into one including Grealish = Buendia .

Norwich fans were saying that set pieces are the one thing that Buendia is actually pretty shit at.

Bugger. Unless they introduce NFL-style special teams rules to allow us to keep subbing Ashley Young on and off, we still need a proper set piece specialist then.
