    Wow happy I didn’t come on here before deadline lol

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry if said a 1000 times but what happened?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Tonne of fake rumours about Bilva being benched to led to everyone swapping for Mkhi it seems and now Bilva starting in the city front 3

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          And they now unhelpfully all got deleted so impossible to determine who the trolls are

        2. ChristoBisto
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          There were some posting the fake news and others hyping it up, like Rupert the horse. Hoping the hypers get banned too. With 5 mins to go before deadline people have to act quickly if they're is news. I've learned my lesson and not coming on here pre deadline again. Still, Mhki could turn out to be a good shout.

    2. Comment removed. Please refer to our terms and conditions on posting comments.

        You were actually the only person I found that was posting fake info about Bilva and this comment confirms you are one of the trolls.

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          The only person's whose comments didnt get deleted immediately I meant. There were definitely other trolls other than you

        2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          LOL I didnt post any fake news

          1. doublyG
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            You've just posted it here by falsely accusing me. Anyway I have better things to do with my day than have this stupid argument with a troll with the maturity of a 6 year old

          2. TyroneGAA
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Is Mendy or b Silva in your team?

          3. TyroneGAA
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Sorry is Mendy or b Silva in your team?

          4. TyroneGAA
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            You did post fake s***e on here though !!

  2. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So ridiculously relieved Walker is back

  3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kun is getting another hatti today, you know it

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So long as Salah matches him that's fine by me.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This

  4. Jackie Moon
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    BSliva not just starting, but in the front 3! Glad I stuck with him. Now he’s just gotta actually score though!

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't worry, he will

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Is he playing ahead of Dilva?

      1. Jackie Moon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like 433 with Fernandinho, Gundogan and DSilva in midfield and BSilva upfront with Sterling and Aguero.

  5. PB-THE-VET
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Maherez

  6. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Having captained Sterling last week and now don't own him. I'm feeling a bit scurred.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Me too lol fml!!

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I started Hamer over Rui so could see the latter saving a pen and get ridiculous save points.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Please be true

  8. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So basically Aguero is essential until he becomes otherwise right

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Captain him every games now, such a great run of fixtures

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Best next 5. Anyone that says Arsenal better is wrong

      2. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        TC next week if he does well again today!

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yay

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      twas ever thus

  9. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Herd mentality on here never ceases to amaze me. Bilva haul and Mkhi blank would be natural justice

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wisdom of the crowd

    2. Siggy in the Middle
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Would be perfect

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It was and is a daft move

    4. The_Colonel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not completely, Silva may haul but rotation in that squad is inevitable. Sure he might haul this week, might not. Might be on the bench next week. My move was based on having a better chance of fielding 11 (my bench is woeful)

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        yeah I'm not really happy about it but agree with this - every team is different

        If AWB hadn't been sent off and Gunnarsson hadn't been injured there is no way I would have made that transfer, but my bench is terrible and I couldn't really afford a no show when so many now have Mkhi

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          also the Ozil news contributed

        2. The_Colonel
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Thankfully Gunnarsson left my team GW1. Unfortunately I still have Peltier and AWB on the bench though. Sad times.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            I'm playing Peltier this week, that's how bad my bench is (just Shaw), indeed.

            1. The_Colonel
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Ouch! Best of luck for the gameweek

        3. ChristoBisto
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Same as that for me. Bench is a bit bare, so the trolling on here have me the BSilva jitters. Probably good move, covers Arsenal's fixtures in case they take off.

    5. Bragazeti
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Seems like we never learn

  10. Siggy in the Middle
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Someone on the previous article got -1 on their comments saying Bilva was dropped. Was this done by mods or can we now downvote?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Mods

  11. Team Cruel

    The game is being updated.
    Please try again later when the updated scores / teams will be available.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So frustrating you can't even look at your team. When are FPL going to upgrade their hardware from Cisco stuff circa 1998?

  12. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    D Silva haul incoming today. I can feel it!

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He looked good. I just hate the rotation risk, especially given he's now getting a bit older. Could well haul.

  13. Flycroft
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    People need to take responsibility for making last minute panic transfers. You have a brain, you are able to check information yourself, and you know that random posters on FFS are less than credible sources. Wait for the official lineups from Twitter and stop crying like babies because you jumped the gun. The official lineup is almost never released before the deadline.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with this and said the same re Aguero last week. Everybody is making estimated guesses, even journalists.

    2. FPL Joker
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. I posted at the bottom of the last page my thoughts on this though, these liars are sad. I didn’t listen to any of the supposed ‘leaks’ by those who have achieved little in their lives and in a pathetic and desperate attempt at getting attention posted lies to get said attention on a website where no one knows them. I don’t believe most things I read online and I take everything we a pinch of salt; damn, even people’s Instagram photos aren’t really real, which is another reason not to use that medium.

      Choose who you trust wisely, people, and don’t trust hardly anything that’s ‘online’.

    3. Sasquatch Slayer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      So much this

    4. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with you and as much as I was tempted I stuck to my guns. I still think the trolls should be named and shamed instead of their posts being deleted

    5. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      The lineup for the city game was announced by an in the know account twitter at 11:28 so some sources are reliable

    6. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If it hasn't got a link for the source then don't trust it...

      1. TOPCAT1960
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        When you research properly you know that sources of information are paramount, and then you realise the motivations for untrue posts are sometimes less than moral.

        Posts should be moderated before being published ?

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Nice idea but have a read of our Terms & Conditions, it's all covered there imo 🙂

    7. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Christ another one protecting the cretins

      1. Flycroft
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I have no problem with trolls who spread misinformation being punished. That doesn't take away from my point that people should take responsibility for the decisions they make based on information without any credible source attached to it. Misinformation and "fake news" is a part of daily life in the internet age, it's impossible for websites to moderate it out of existence. People come to sites like FFS to be spoon-fed, and when it backfires (because they followed unreliable information in the comments section) they hold the website responsible, rather than examining their role in that decision and learning from their mistake.

        Are the cretins the people spread false information, or the people who mindlessly follow that information then blame FFS for it when it goes wrong?

        Hoping for a Bernardo Silva goal today to reinforce my point 😉

  14. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will be watching from the back of my sofa at Aguero today as an owner but not a captainer.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Don't be daft. His EO isn't above 100 %.

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Non-owner here. Pray for me.

      1. Touré De Force
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ditto. Not overly concerned tbh, can't see him getting more than 1 today.

    3. mir
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Non captain too but I still want a brace.

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, you want your players to do well even though you didn't captain them.

    4. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ah get together

  15. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Mass Salah exodus incoming if he blanks tonight right?

    1. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He won’t. Brace incoming

      1. Bragazeti
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Add an assist to that

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He should blank

    3. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Needs a perfect storm kane scores 3 , Aguero scores 3 , Mane brace along with a Salah black would get many knee's jerking

      1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        blank

  16. FPL Joker
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Before you believe anything, research the source of the info - as I said over the page, ‘Choose who you trust wisely, people, and don’t trust hardly anything that’s ‘online’.’

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just like in life. Don't trust anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bilva to Mkhi is such a downgrade. Utter points chasing

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Testify!

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bilva in a front 3 screams points.

  18. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Feels like fpl takes much longer to update these days?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It's the other way round tbh

      1. Shineonme
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It takes longer for sure

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      nope

    3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I agree with this. It's so slow this season.

      1. yanks250125
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        it was slow GW1 (as expected), but VERY quick for GW2

  19. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Why were people doubting Bernardo start? Wasn't Pep saying a lot of praise of him? Isn't he on all corners with KDB gone?

    1. The_Colonel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Because they have Mahrez, Sane and Jesus on the bench. Rotation will come eventually.

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Dunno. Seemed like many were looking for an excuse to sell him.

      • grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal mids will all see rotation. I think the key will be not knee-jerking after a benching - could end up catching all the benched game weeks.

    3. Farke in hell
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Do you remember Aguero's 5 goal haul against Newcastle. They are playing them at home next week.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah because that has relevance years later

        1. Kemosabe1
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Ofc it does... the fear will be there 😉

        2. Farke in hell
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Last season,same fixture aguero had a hat trick against them. See the relevence yet?

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Nope

            1. Farke in hell
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 7 months ago

              Good Luck then

      2. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wasn't that 3 years ago...?

    4. Fassy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think if someone post false info they should be banned untill the next GW is finished. So 9 days approximately. Second strike = 3 GWs, Third strike = 10 GWs.

    5. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Aguero Vs wolves or mkhi Vs westham?

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        too late for that

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Kun

      3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Think you've missed the deadline.

      4. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Too late

      5. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Too late now.

      6. Mince n Tatties
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        You need to stop overthinking things

    6. LÖrKingMuch
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Of course Sterling starts now that I've sold him, happier with Aguero in team anyway #midfieldminefield

    7. Kemosabe1
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jonty,
      Really enjoyed the show at the last minuteness of it... it's great to see your final teams and the reactions of the early team sheet.

      Please keep it up.. enjoyed it more then the scoutcast. And that's saying something

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Scoutcast these days have got boring, so yeah loved this before deadline

        1. Kemosabe1
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I enjoy the scout cast.... but it's not the same without Mark.... to me it's like changing top gears presenters...

          It's team we tune in for... not so much the show...

          U need jonty mark az Andy Granville... with maybe one special guest... lots of banter and winding mark up.

        Yeah I agree. Was a lot of fun to see the reactions - especially Joe's of course!

        They should run a podcast during the games.....that would be tremendous

        Scoutcast is too long and has become too samey, this was good though!

      Otamendi must feel unlucky to be left out each game considering the season he had last year.

        True.

        He was a good FPL player but not a great defender in the real world IMHO

        Crazy ain't it. Just shows how far above Ctiy are.

        it was Mendy was out. obvi not true

        No Bilva, Mendy, Aguero... Take your pick. Scaremongering around the most popular players.

        Ironically I read some posts about Stones being first choice and nailed and he's left out.

        BSilva and Mendy benched was the rumours that I saw!

      Anyone captain Kun today? Kind of wish I'd kept it on him .

      This is why FFS needs a downvoted button. This way the trolls comments can remain and just be downvoted. This is a much better way of attaching reliability to a user as opposed to the number badges they've put next to everyone's name.

      Someone gets upvoted lots, people know this user is reputable. Someone gets downvoted a lot, people know he's a troll and just ignore. Simps..

        If they are funny they'll be upvoted though

        1. Licious Lizard

          Agreed, but people won't upvote fake news.
          At least I hope not. If that is the case, this site should just close down now. Or Mark should hurry up and cash out on it at least before it dilutes itself.

      The rule for City's midfield is if you own any one of them you're insane

        Not if they cost 7.5m

        I don't know, I think having players from what's easily the best team in the league strikes as sensible, not insane.
