yes

Mehek (mehek14):

it's plural because players is plural

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no like is it plural bc more than one or?

Mehek (mehek14):

yes more than 1 player said that 3 times...

OpenStudy (leahhhmorgannn):

I know personally, I would complete the sentence with a singular "hope", no matter whether players is singular or plural.
