Coach Talk

FreeWin4u
Way to shrug off that 10-match winless streak, FreeWin4u! Each fantasy team will surely be faced with adversity somewhere along the way... keep on truckin' and good things will continue to happen.
Flying Squirrels
Keep your head up, Flying Squirrels! Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes nine extra points will just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you gave it your best shot.
