To date, the only player to be banned for diving was Oumar Niasse, 18 months ago.
To clarify, not one player has dived since then apparently, according to the FA. I think Salah has dived twice this week.
76 points today - Mane (c), Son, Abraham and Pukki all with double digit hauls.
Digne, Pickford, Iwobi and Guilbert still to play.
How did you do?

On the left - Stones clearance vs Liverpool, 0-0 at the time. They won 2-1.
On the right - Aguero’s goal today, won 1-0.
Huge huge moments, and the title could be decided by millimetres.
Tariq Lamptey is definitely a special player - absolutely everything is created from him, but even defensively he’s a solid player.
Fantastic signing for Brighton.
#FPL
Unlucky for James owners, but he was by far the best player on the pitch, those goals/assists will come.
Richarlison and DCL were outstanding today.
#FPL
Lionel Messi - A victim of his own success. Scoring 50 goals is now his ‘norm’, so much so, that he no longer is considered the best.
Quite sad, really.
Dusan Tadic had one of the best performances I’ve seen at the Bernabeu in a very long time - Absolute masterclass.
Hard to believe it’s the same player from Southampton.
The difference between Rashford and Lukaku is genuinely unbelievable.
Such a poor decision to spend £90m on Lukaku, when they already had the better player for free!
Van Dijk will get a lot of praise, but Michael Keane today was absolutely sensational.
Liverpool probably would have beat us if Salah and Mane played. 👀
Feel free to disagree, but I don’t think Maguire is as good as people make out.
That’s not me saying he’s a bad defender, but £80m is genuinely ludicrous, because there are several better defenders for cheaper.
End of an era as Arsene Wenger officially will step down at the end of the season.
He’s been around that long, as a child I used to believe Arsenal were named after him!
Pickford been massively let down tonight, he’s made top class saves but can’t do anything about Stones/Barkley errors!
Michael Keane with 8 clean sheets in his last ten games, including 4 vs the big 6 teams, has to be starting!
Here’s an unpopular opinion - Marcos Alonso is massively overrated.
Going to take Sarri a while to change the team around, quite a few poor players In this team.
This tournament is just proof that the Premier League’s use of VAR is disastrous.
Mbappe was offside, and by the time they show the replay, the game has kicked back off. In the Prem, we’d still be waiting 3 minutes later!
The year is 2038: The semi final between John Isner and Kevin Anderson is currently 23,905 all. They’ve been on serve for 20 years. Will Nadal ever get to face Djokovic? Who knows
Everton made Spurs look like kids only a few weeks back. Not being biased, but I think Everton have been a lot better than what people actually think.

What’s the point of United keeping Sergio Romero? £75,000-a-week for a third string keeper - it sums up the state of their board by refusing to sell him!

VAR has to be used in EVERY game, not selected games. Happened to Everton, now Swansea, but it’s just so unfair to go out the cup because the FA don’t allow VAR in every game.
Just common sense!
I’ve watched every Everton game in pre-season, here are my two takes:
Gueye or no Gueye, they’re still really good defensively.
There’s no creativity in the team when Richarlison isn’t there.
Basically, Digne and Richarlison are by far the best Everton players for FPL!
One of the strangest weeks in FPL this season... 76 points - KDB (c), DCL, Mane and Cathcart the standouts. I only had 9 players, one of them scored -1 point!
How did everyone do this week?
#FPL
I need Digne to get a clean sheet.
Richarlison to score 5.
Kane to score 4 - Eriksen to assist them all.
Everton to come out 5-4 winners.
Is that possible?
Everyone focusing on Karius and Bale, and quite rightly so. But Luka Modric is being overlooked, it was an absolutely unbelievable masterclass from him last night.
Reece James looks an absolute bargain. Won’t score screamers every week, but is on corners and gets forward constantly.
Lamptey also looks like a decent cheap option!
#FPL
Providing I don’t get one in GW38, it’ll be the first time since I started playing FPL that I haven’t got at least once 💯 points haul in the season.
Anyone in the same boat?
