    Whole gameweek already ruined. I’m now at net -129 points from transfers this season. Literally every decision is punished in the most epic fashion.

    Soucek positio had changed, sat deep no attacking returns. It seemed such low risk to get sterling as a punt

      I know how you feel when you get instantly punished for making a transfer. You almost feel like leaving your team as is will score more points.

    Captained Soucek in double GW19, benched this week. Sickening.

      that's funny

        What's funny about it?

          because someone you deem good enough to captain should never be benched.

            In hindsight yes, but it's no laughing matter. I stand by who I pick week by week, on a game by game basis.

    Sucek to gundo going well so far....

  8. faux_C

    Soucek to Gundo was still a good decision, despite the variance.

    Soucek first sub is hurting.

    1. Spab
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Second sub hurts double. I imagine a lot of his owners have him on the bench, but it's annoying to miss out.

    2. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      First sub, now hoping for a Cancelo cameo haha

    Soucek again good shot

  11. LewanGOALski

    Soucek is the only player I own since GW1

    I started him once, maybe...

    ;(

    1. dshv

      I am with him gw1 also and he is in my starting eleven even when they had a bad fixtures

  12. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    Well, I'm sure glad I gave Wilson his last chance before shipping him for Antonio.

  13. Gudjohnsen

    Soucek going for the golden boot.

  14. R.C
    • 6 Years

    Soucek will bloody score a hattrick today

  15. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    As a Soucek owner since GW7, and only benching him once before this GW, the pain is so real.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Why they take the Antonio assist away

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cos it wasnt an assist

    2. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      credited to Cresswell

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    As Antonio's non owner, I'd take a

    I thought Guaita only likes to gift premiums free points.

  19. diesel001

    LiveFPL down from all the FFS Raphinha and Soucek owners.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Why you don't score when I start you !!!!

  21. BeWater
    • 3 Years

    Need a player to be missing out of nowhere. Never wanted a random missing player so much. Soucek first sub.

  22. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Bamford blank nailed.

    Out for Kane next week then

  23. TRIPOS TOPPER

    Antonio hurts Soucek goal threat for sure 🙂

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson with 8 touches after 32 mins

  25. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Soucek doesn’t get a hatty now it’ll feel like a fail.

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So, Creswelll assist? Good, have both Cress and Antonio ... get bonus both!

  27. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not surprised if Soucek scores 4 tonight

  28. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else only own Coufal and not Soucek, Antonio or Cresswell?
    This is painful!

  29. Jersey Boy
    • 5 Years

    Chelsea fans - R.James benched tomorrow?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt it

  30. Forza Papac

    Who did we all bench Soucek for? Chris Wood for me.
