    One minute it's Pedro, next it's Walcott, then it's Mkhit. This is the nature of the modern game.

    Could there be anything more tedius to read or that spells one out as an absolute amateur bellend of the highest order than the mid-gameweek 'I told you so's'.

    The game is in play. Mkhit owners calm it. Told you so'ers, GET IN GRAVE

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      should have stuck with jota

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      To be fair I thought it was weird that certain mkhi owners were pretending he wasn't a rotation risk when he clearly was

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        yeah, I got him last week knowing Ozil was out for that game - but I was fully prepared for a potential benching today (hoped not though obviously). Ramsey and Ozil are just better players, it's as simple as that - should have got Pedro, but the same issue exists - maybe Maddison is the one...?

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          I've got Maddison and Pedro, think they're both decent picks but Fraser is underrated

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            I very nearly did Pedro and would be more than happy to keep him (annoying) … but Maddison could keep ticking along with those fixtures, think I might like the upside of Pedro more maybe

        2. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          I think Pedro is more likely to keeping his place due to being more of a runner

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            yeah, I'm very tempted - no doubt I'll pick the wrong one 😀

            1. doublyG
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 1 day ago

              Just dont pick Maddison... easy

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 1 day ago

                haha

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Most of the told you so crew only said it because they couldn't get that player in for various reasons

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Or because the player was genuinely not nailed?

        1. Pacer.
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          there are no nailed players, and you wont know how nailed until the end of the season stats

          1. doublyG
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            You can make educated guesses like competition for places and how good the player is

      2. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Maybe some. As an Arsenal fan I genuinely thing he's not in our best XI

  2. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    salah -> hazard for free and get him back around gw9 on wc?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      100%

  3. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    How about make some more polls (not only captain) with most asked questions every week?
    Last week it would be: "Richarlison replacements" and "Play WB or Bou attacker".
    This week it would be "Alonso in for a hit?" or "Is Salah worth keeping?" or "Salah -> Hazard if I own Mane?" etc.

    Maybe it would cause less questions repeating on every page every, single day?

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Polls will be ignored just like hulks, nothing stops the questions...

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        not stopped - less of them

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      The problem is that when people have chosen their big hitters, the only discussion is which bad players should we bring in. When actually the question should be looking at big hitters - hazard is back in form

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Just an example

    3. KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Good idea

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Questions like A,B or C are like polls anyway so people could stright send people who ask to poll.
      This could also long term cause more discuss about why player A or B (discussion) than just "pick one" question.

    5. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Interesting suggestion. I'll pass it along to Geoff and co

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        cheers

  4. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Mkhi or Walcott to Maddison?

    1. Srv210
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Keep an eye on Walcott injury

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Wait and see if Walcott is back for next game, he has 2 weeks to recover

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Maybe let's see what happens today?

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years

    This season is tough!

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I thought last season was bad...... taking the pish now.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Was going to settle down and watch the game with Mkhi interest. Probably won’t bother now

  6. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Patricio
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    Salah Mkhi Wally Bilva
    Kun Mitro Zaha

    Fab Boly WanB Stephens

    Can I get away with not using my wildcard?

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Zaha > Ings
      Wally > Madison
      Bilva > Dilva -8

      Sorted.

  7. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Wildcard active, fucck you Emery.

    1. Weasel Boy

      Logged in for this 😆

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Likelihood of De gea getting more than 1 point today?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      95%

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Looking forward to Cardiff taking the lead.

  10. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Just realised Bennet 3rd sub would come in _5 points.

    keep him off.

  11. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Ozil is gonna haul big time today, can just sense it.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I can't see it. Cardiff will do a job on him.

  12. COYS.
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Anyone has worst GW than this
    25 from 8..
    Mikh benched
    Kane and Tripper to go.. worried what's gonna happen with them

    1. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Kane will haul. Don’t fear. Trippier will score too.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Kane will score at least one maybe two. Points.

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    This week just gets better

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years

      😆

  14. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Mkhitaryan on the bench....cheers Emery. I thought he was nailed!!

  15. Miro
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Who's starting for Burnley in goal today ? Heaton or Hart ?

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Week gets worse, Zaha no show & Daniels, Kamara, Tompkins on bench.
    Mhik on bench, Wally injured anyone had worse?
    Just need Moura to not be in the team sheet for the perfect fail!

    1. COYS.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Starts with
      Salah captain and no CS for Robbo
      Zaha no show and first on bench was Daniels . Second on bench was Romeu who gave 1 point
      Pedro benched .. but then he fired
      Gross penalty miss
      Mikh benched
      This gives me 25 from 8

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        38 from 9 with Mhik & Moura left.

  17. Robin Cook
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    It's all: Mkhi, get the f*** out of my team. In an hour, he comes on and scores and people will buy him like a Pedro.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      He won't come on.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        You seen the bench?
        Guaranteed to come on.

      2. BIGREDDOG
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Why do you say that Diesel?

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Micky Mouse

  19. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Can't see how Mkhi stays on the bench all game.
    Sorry Mkhi owners, 1pt incoming.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Agreed.

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        You just said he won't come on?

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      For those with Wan B waiting in the wings, the 1 point may well be a welcome return 😉

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 1 day ago

      better than AWB

    4. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      1 point makes a big difference to me this week!

  20. gergin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Emery starts with natural striker! Does he become smarter or a momentary out of madness to play Auba at the top?

    1. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Laca should stay upfront

  21. TAT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    I give up. 1.2m OR, an assist and a single goal from strikers the first four GW's – first Mahrez, now Mkhi. WC played to no use.

    -8 before GW5 then.

    1. SirT83
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Calm down for a sec before you do anything hasty. I'm in a pickle myself, but know for earlier mistakes that doing transfers in the heat of the movement rarely work out for the better. Get to the drawing board, you will find a way!

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        The drawing board currently looks like Auba>Mitrovic and Mkhi/Walcott > Hazard. Not owning Arsenal assets for those fixtures might backfire, but they don't deliver. Wish I could have taken my "Arsenal glasses" off before considering any of them.

      2. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        What's your pickle, by the way? Looks to be a number of players causing headaches for FPL managers these days.

  22. Absolutely Flabulous
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Afternoon chaps,

    Quick question, I have Josh Murphy as my first sub and Matt Doherty as my second. Seeing as Josh isn’t in the Cardiff squad today, will Matt Doherty sub in for injured Wilifred Zaha?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Yes

      1. Absolutely Flabulous
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Huzzah!!!!!!

        Oh momma, 6 sweet sweet points!

  23. Podge
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    I guess Mkhi owners should hope Arsenal struggle, make him more nailed in future.

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I always hope they struggle anyway, so shouldn't be too difficult.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      nailed or not, he's not that good.

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        You could say that about 95% of the players in the league

        1. doublyG
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          That's why we try to get the 5% into our teams

        2. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 day ago

          I'd take many midfielders in the

          1. Digital-Real
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 day ago

            7m or below range over Mkhi

  24. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Got mkhi in for bsilva this week, thought I'd nailed it yesterday when Bernardo made a 1pt cameo...

    1. Planet Head
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Brought Mkhi for Bilva last week and was also happy when Bilva blanked..

    2. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I have both. Only myself to blame. Switching the pair of them to Hazard + a 4.5 bench player I think

  25. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Who goes first? Zaha or Mkhitaryan?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      We need more wait and see how serious Zaha's injury is

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      See how zaha is first. He has two weeks to be back.

    3. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      I'm keeping Mkhi. There will always be some rotation but if Arsenal starts flying with those fixtures Mkhi will also get points

  26. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    My paper thin squad is awaiting my Peltier winning goal off the bench

  27. SirT83
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Mkhi benching might meen WC for me. Got 3 other players that might drop in value. If Mkhi is set for the same destiny, I might have to WC against my will..

  28. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    A: Aguerro/Fraser
    B: Hazard/Wilson?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      A

  29. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 day ago

    Shall I ask now Mkhi or Moura? 🙂

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Nah, ask later.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 day ago

      Moura benched would be hilarious.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        😉

      2. darth_valdes
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 day ago

        Bench their 2 goal scorer last week? If Poch did, will likely break Moura confidence. I think it’s unlikely Moura get benched but who knows.

  30. In a Rush

    Mkhi ➡️ Hazard
    Yes or no
    1 free transfer 3.6 Itb

    1. Sandy Ravage

      Emphatic 'Yes!'

      Of course depending on the rest of your squad. But isolated, Big yes!
