    Just straight up arrogance from Pep at this point

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No

  3. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Now that is a decent bench

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      decent 5 a side team from that

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        For sure, if Carlsberg did 5 a side......

  4. 4-4-who?

    Such rudeness on here. Sort it out.

  5. Collie01

    Everton looking pretty attacking. 5-1-4 type formation

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No it's 3-3-4

  6. HNI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Take a bow Villa Rona. No city was a brilliant out of box move. Sterling to Hazard looks great for the busy workload

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      How is no City better than the right City players?

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah who wants to own players in the best team anyway

    3. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sane and Hazard for me

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good now I bend over so I can get some of it as well

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      You must be only one who has been thinking that

    Sterling (c) vs Palace 😎

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This. He is pretty much nailed now over Christmas.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Will be benched the two nice games v palace & Southampton - will play Leicester’s in league cup, league, and Liverpool game - disaster for owners

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’ll be benched for palace - he’s starting voth games v Leicester now

      This is the worst case scenario coming true unfortunately

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      And if he starts midweek?

  8. Fresh_From_Desh

    Well what a disappointing transfer sterling has been

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I missed the wagon it seems, since I bought him in I've had nothing but stress and disappointment

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      And I did it for Salah 😉

  9. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Seriously Pep... If you were plant, you'd be coriander.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      cactus

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Did Obiang and Sterling to Anderson and Eriksen in the end

  11. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ouch - Sterling....

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pep roulette strikes again. Bloody sick of it.

    1. 4-4-who?
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      So don't play it.

      1. HNI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly. No one is forcing you to take city players and some like villa ronka are doing quite well in top 1000 without them

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling starts league cup, benched palace, starts Leicester away benched Southampton, starts Liverpool

    There - that’s his plan, it’s clear now

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Salah coming back to my team then.

      And Sterling will explode again

    2. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      This

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes best to transfer out after league Cup though. The price loss is going to be terrible but I play for points and not part of any team value cash league sadly

  14. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I should be worried with sterling (c) hazard (VC) right?

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yup* If Kane scores brace you will fall in rank very hard

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling nailed next week.

    Maybe

  16. F4L
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    damn was hoping Sterling false 9 🙁

  17. soup natsi
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is lolling still banned?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes defo

  18. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I was thinking to sell Sterling for Hazard for free this fixture. I had hunch Sterling will be rested today but i bring Hazzo for -4 and left Sterling in starting XI

  19. Black Knights
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    We can stop with the Sterling essential now. Sane as much a threat while playing, and 2m cheaper if rested.

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yawn

      Have you seen Sterling's score, having been benched what, three or four times? If you don't open Sterling when he plays then you are in bother.

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Owning both is less stressful

  20. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Tried to change my (C) last minute from Kane to Sane, don't know if it went through!

  21. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah -> Sterling

    Lol at me and fellow Sterling owners

    1. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ouch

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      amateur

  22. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling (c) vs Palace nailed on.

    Good stuff. Rather he was benched today than home to Palace.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’ll be benched v palace & Southampton & will start Leicester, leisceter, Liverpool - disaster for owners

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He did not ask what you hope/wish.

  23. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Look at that city bench 😆

    Unreal !

  24. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Can see Sane going mental today

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      😎

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      hope so

  25. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Let the tantrums commence

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      KDB says hello

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Got him in for Richarlison (just for 2GW's), gonna be interesting viewing this game!

    3. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      But KDB will be coming soon?

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Everyone could be rotated

    5. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No chance the second KDB is fully fit

  27. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    No chance sterling stays on the bench v everton imo

  28. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So would the guy who posted sterling to be rested a few mins back get the ban ?

  29. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling haul from bench against tired legs or 3mins cameo. Which one it is?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The latter

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Think Even if they r winning Sane will be hooked for sterling to rest Sane so sterling can still do well

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Goal off the bench.
