    AndyLTFPL has ended this week looking a bit of a tool.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How did he look at the start of the week.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Less of a tool

      2. THE Wild Rover
        5 years, 1 month ago

        😆

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      5 years, 1 month ago

      salty … but does anyone really care ?

      1. GreennRed
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Has a big fan base, apparently....

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Probably not

      3. El Presidente
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not the pros. Casuals are his audience. That's why so many of them are fuming right now. And I have to say, from their perspective, rightly so.

        1. Alexis Nonsense
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'd say this site is the same, this is where casuals hang around for sure

          1. El Presidente
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I think it's a mixed bag

      4. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        A lot, and it’s pretty damn funny.

    3. Deulofail
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What is the drama? Please report

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nothing. Played a wildcard

        1. The Philosopher
          5 years, 1 month ago

          So what's the issue with playing a WC?

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Too much excitement for this lot

            1. The Philosopher
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Seems like it

    4. The Philosopher
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There are very few 'big' FPL accounts I like. Most of them are proper garbage.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Most of them give tips/picks they would never use themselves

        1. The Philosopher
          5 years, 1 month ago

          True. Remember last year some Lee guy conned his followers just to get at his wife.
          But more funny is that many people are following these "experts" blindly. Some are even paying their hard earned money on patreons and stuff ffs

          1. Pipermaru
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I'm Andy's patreon but I couldn't care less about his moves, playing WC and so on. I pay cause I like him and his streams, don't get all the fuss right now, he's a little bit of entertainer as many of YT streamers nowadays.

    5. ANGRY PERSON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What did he do ?

    6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That last minute WC drama was completely unnecessary. Who does that? But good he didn't care about posting his team before deadline for people to copy it.

      1. MOZIL
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, it was unnecessary, if he doesnt want to share why bother openning a youtube channel.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Money

    7. Bubz
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How so?

    8. HollywoodXI
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think that’s a bit harsh. Andy did exactly the same thing last season, when he didn’t have anywhere near the following he has now. He had said all week he was likely going to do it last minute and had his team planned. I didn’t watch the live stream but I did hear he didn’t post his team until after the deadline to ensure people couldn’t copy it which is positive.

      1. MOZIL
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ya but he didnt do that this time

    9. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haven’t watched his streams this week but from what I hear he’s been saying all week he might wildcard late. If that’s true, what’s the issue?

    10. ANGRY PERSON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      People are mad at him for playing a last minute wildcard ! Geez

    11. Hotdogs for Tea
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I saw a tweet that said he may play a late WC. In fairness his team was a bit of a mess with flags etc and I think we have all been in that position … let a -8 go through or press the WC button.

      We are all human and can’t always package our decisions up into nice pockets and sometimes we just go for it.

      He is probably not too fussed and is loving the click bait 🙂

  2. jack88
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lol. Why would ole bench Ronaldo? I mean why? They just lost to villa at home, barely won against villareal- thanks to ronaldo. Ronaldo clearly is their talisman now. Utd cant afford to lose another match at home. Ole will bench him Only if he is psycho mad

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cavani looked pretty fresh.

    2. Mozumbus
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Convincing reasons why ole shall not bench Ronaldo.
      What could be the reasons, even if not convincing, for ole to bench Rolando?

      1. AIRMILES
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Ronaldo wants to be as fresh as possible ahead of international matches against Qatar and Luxembourg, where he could easily add 6 goals to his international tally.

        1. Mozumbus
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Age

    3. Coled Brew
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So you just answered your own question. Apparently Ole also talks to himself.

    4. GreennRed
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's a long season and Ronaldo still has international commitments. He'll be advised by S&C and other coaches. Even if he looks in peak fitness today he and all players need rest.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      5 years, 1 month ago

      lol

  3. acidicleo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I talked myself out of Ron to Rom for a hit at the last minute..

    Reasoning - Ron's next 2 opponents (Everton and Leicester)
    conceding more goals than Rom's next two (Southampton and Brentford)

    Ron to Kaku for GW9 Norwich fixture..

    Will see how it pans out but I hope the logic is reasonable..

    1. jack88
      5 years, 1 month ago

      This is the Most sensible logic. But can fail easily.

    2. maglia rosa
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The point is its you making the decision with a reason behind it. Good luck with your decision.

    3. Coled Brew
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's not logical to apply logic to FFL.

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why would Ronaldo bench himself. Crazy.

    1. Zimo
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lol 😆

    2. OverTinker
      5 years, 1 month ago

      hahaha

    3. Paqueta Rice
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha

  5. GoonerSteve
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I went for some bold changes with my wildcard, may well regret it but exciting weekend ahead!

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Cancelo, Duffy, Rudiger, (Livramento, Manquillo)
    Salah, Sarr, Gallagher, Raphina (Douglas L)
    Antonio, Lukaku (c), Ronaldo.

    Fingers crossed, needed to shake things up after two poor, poor weeks.

    1. Holmes
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bold? Looks like many teams here but good luck, always good to get a green arrow after WC.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Where are the bold changes ? Gallagher to Mbeumo and Ramsdale and Duffy to Sanchez and White and you've got the same as me.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have 10 of those 15.

    4. Not again Shirley
      5 years, 1 month ago

      lol bold.

    5. GoonerSteve
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well that's reassuring!

      Thought I was taking some risks but clearly not lol!

  6. Gomolon
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Those on a GW7 WC - who is the biggest differential pick you've gone for?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chilwell!

      1. Gomolon
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nice!! Didn't have the guts for that one - I've got Mbuemo as my biggest differential

    2. sunzip14
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not on WC, but Captained Auba. Will WC later today.

      1. Gomolon
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Good luck - wanted gw8 wc too but I had so many injuries and rotation in my team, it was like a fun fair with appalling health and safety standards

    3. Gross Blank Point
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy

    4. tokara
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why would u want a wc in gw7

      1. Gomolon
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Lots of us were forced into one due to injuries + rotation

    5. CloudSky
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Phil Foden.

    6. Pinturicchio10
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fernandes (one-week Salah placeholder)
      Mount
      Jimenez

  7. Ginkapo FPL
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Does ot matter?

    United have lost an important game so Pogba will no longer put effort into playing. Maguire is injured and the manager doesnt know how to set up a team. Doesnt matter who plays up front if the midfield is anonymous

    1. soup natsi
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What?

            No soup for you!

        2. Mambino

          What?

        3. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Huh?

  8. thepancakeman123
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Watford's next 8 fixtures are:

    Liverpool (H)
    Everton (A)
    Southampton (H)
    Arsenal (A)
    Man United (H)
    Leicester (A)
    Chelsea (H)
    Man City (H)

    As an owner of Sarr, my question is should I take him out for this run or trust in him to get points regardless because he's their main man?

    1. Mozumbus
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Out

    2. soup natsi
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you trust him?

    3. jack88
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would personally wait for next 3 fixtures. Would ditch him if there are no pressing issues

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd sell personally.

    5. FPL Theorist
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Main man? Irrelevant, bad team with bad fixtures.

    6. No Kane No Gain
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Out

    7. ANGRY PERSON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ideally I'd sell him. But I have other transfer priorities. So will keep for next few weeks

  9. Hazz

    5 years, 1 month ago

    https://twitter.com/unit_football/status/1444246660108980225?s=19

    Sounds like Ronaldo benched.

    Glad I took off the captaincy and gave it to Raphinha(?) Disappointed I didn't do the -4 for Lukaku.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I hope United get smashed!

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Massive, massive advantage for wildcarders if this is true.

    3. Holmes
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Oh well, another sh*tty start.

    4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane time

    5. OverTinker
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have ronaldo (C) and yes I wildcarded - WTF

  10. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 1 month ago

    No more of this today Bruno, I’m still recovering

  11. bodgejob
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo will come on and score the winner. writers are getting lazy...

    1. diesel001
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Ronaldo is too good. Which means he gets goals and assists, even if afforded fewer minutes on the pitch.

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    5 years, 1 month ago

    ole at the wheel

    1. GENERATION X
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Acting more like Alonso at the wheel

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ronnie at the wheel.

  13. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This is the week, I know it.

    I have that feeling back

    1. MosF94
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane brace tomorrow?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just one, but Son brace

    2. Viprin
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just don't say you'll quit again this week if it goes south

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This week will reward me for sticking at it and not quitting.

        If I'm not rewarded, I quit.

  14. ClassiX

    P!ssing down at Old Trafford

    1. GENERATION X
      5 years, 1 month ago

      This is it Ron doesnt want his make up running

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo will bench himself then

    3. Gomolon
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's what Ronaldo came for, he was sick of Madrid and Turin's sunshine!

    4. The Knights Template
      5 years, 1 month ago

      P/ssing with laughter?

  15. The Senate
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lol I sold Bruno for a hit to get Lukaku and kept Ronnie. Could’ve done Ron to Lukaku for free FML

  16. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    We probably know how this is going to end: Ronaldo bench, Lukaku blank, and Salah brace.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      + Antonio brace

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        + Sarr brace

    2. diesel001
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nah. Ronaldo will get a late goal to punish all those that sold him and think they are winning (at least at the moment) just because he is benched.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I said bench, not blank 🙂

  17. El Presidente
    5 years, 1 month ago

    It must be true because odds 9n ManU to win have gone up massively

  18. Weeb Kakashi
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ole is such a shitshow. Terrible manager.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    5 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Varane, Lindelof, Fred, McTominay, Fernandes, Greenwood, Martial, Cavani.

    1. Rassi
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So it was a correct decision to switch my armband to Antonio.

    2. VAR United
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Martial FFS!!

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw plays!

    4. Zimo
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Martial starts. Wow. Game lost

    5. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So turned on right now with Shaw and Bruno!

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t look a strong team. Thinking Gray /Townsend might get something from this

  20. TomSaints
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Meh was worth the risk holding Ronaldo as last min rumours are rarely true.

    Salah came off the bench for a double digit haul last season

    1. Holmes
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Only difference is Ronaldo is not that good now...

      1. TomSaints
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I mean I captained Antonio so quite happy.

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Oh dear

  22. Ze_Austin
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Missed the Ronaldo rumours 5 minutes before the deadline because I was eating. Didn't imagine anything reliable showing up before official team sheets were submitted

    1. tokara
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No solid rumours

  23. Weeb Kakashi
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Ronny stays on the bench? Looking at a red arrow rn.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how the game goes

      If they’re losing at half time - no way
      If it’s a draw with 60 minutes to go - no way
      If they’re more than a goal up though, he might stay there

  24. jack88
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ok guys. Ronaldo is benched

  25. Paqueta Rice
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo C fail. Fernandes will take the penalty again at least!

  26. Ninja Škrtel
    5 years, 1 month ago

    SCENESSSSSSSSSS

  27. Bubz
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I absolutely HATE Luke Shaw

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    ABSOLUTE SCENES
