      Swapped for DDG this week, thank god that saga is finally over.

  4. Ady87

    Got 0.6 and 2 FT.

    De Gea
    TAA Dier White Liv (Marcal*)
    Salah Jota ESR Foden Raph*
    Ronaldo* Antonio (Locadia)

    Thinking about:

    Marcal/Raph/Ron > James/Son/Dennis (-4 and play 352/442)

    Should I be looking at any other players or moving to 343/443?

    Should be no assist, Cash didn't shoot.

    Kane and Schmeichel continuing their consistent seasons

    cash in on Gallagher and upgrade him to Bernardo/Gundogan or give him another run out against Everton?

      Please do. I'll come back to this post and laugh. What's your thinking? Oh its Kane playing against a bad team he'll score loads of goals like he just did against Norwich? LOL

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

      Absolutely gone ; looks entirely disinterested in football

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    One hand on ball isn't a foul...

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very harsh on Villa.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Dems da rulez

  12. AC/DC AFC

    He's not got 2 hands on it.

    But downward pressure with 1 hand.

    1. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keeper doesn't need 2 hands on the ball, 1 is enough

  13. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Shocking decision. Game has gone so so soft.

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Surely time for a Danny Ward runout?

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Understanding goalkeeper rules might involve reading a huge handbook

  16. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ball was never under control.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I agree.

  17. Weak Become Heros

    Finger tips!!

  19. Rainer

    There's protecting goalkeepers and there's that...

  20. Devos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Already did Kane > Ronaldo

    Could also sell Cornet for -4
    What would you do?
    a) swap for Mount
    b) swap for Bowen
    c) swap for another up to 7.6
    d) keep Cornet

    Thanks

  21. Make United Great Again

    That is a terrible decision

  22. Randaxus
    • 3 Years

    Little princess goalkeepers being protected again.

  23. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why do refs not have the courage to stick to their decisions when they review?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cause they don’t have courage

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This!

      Prime example.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Never a foul. Ridiculous decision

  25. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Goalkeepers are like princesses. You must protect them 😀

    The hot debate few ago was..
    Sell Vardy and Havertz for A) Kane and Gallagher or B) Son and Wilson.

    I was all set for B but then Harry scored bucket loads and tricked me..

    Also saw Harry as a route to Ron.
    Now I don't need Harry or Ron..

    Feeling gutted!!

    1. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      In the end I paid the price for protecting my extra FT. Kane was a straight swap for Vardy, Son would have cost me either both my FT and drop Raphinha or three transfers for a -4. Didn't think Kane would totally strike out over 4 games but there it is, just have to move on now

    Best GK to replace McCarthy?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      DDG

        Thanks, not a bad shout actually given the fixtures.

    jeez, luckily that VAR official wasn't doing the Newcastle game yesterday...

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha, Toney to Foden, King for free?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah but Bilva 😉

  30. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I thought they weren't looking for reasons to be disallowing goals, VAR has done so well this season but that's a shocker.
