    Just seen Arse game is off, not good news! What do I do?
    2 FT, 0.2 ITB, 2X FH still no WC left.

    Ramsdale* (Foster*)
    TAA - James - Davies - Reg - Cancello
    Salah - ESR* - Bernardo - (Brownhill*, Normann*)
    Kane - Laca* - Watkins*

    so only fielding 8 if im lucky, probably 6

      Lac and a GK out would help.

        FH is tempting, but seems a waste when I have 2 ft

    Is the Arsenal game now also off?

    FPL has turned to dog chocolate this season, just random nonsense.

      It's the truth. People want to believe it's a great puzzle to justify their dunk cost. It's not, it's a mess and has no value.

        Yep, we might as well be rolling dice each week….

          Precisely. If you're trying to win a cash league then great, who care how you win. If you're concerned at all with OR then the game is a wrote off

            Why is it not the same for everyone? Lots of children on here.

              Because that isn't how luck works. Something even children understand

    No reason not to hit the WC button now, is there?

      You still have first one :O

        I do.

      Well if you still haven't used it then definitely.

    Didn’t realise until this Arsenal blank that the goalkeepers are almost as uninspiring as the forwards this season. Might just go Foster to Bachmann

    1. Zilla

      I am thinking going keeperless even

    Expected big things from Jonny McGinn today, to say I'm disappointed he missed would be a massive understatement.

    Anybody else tempted to roll with 2 usable keepers from this point onward? Just looked at Ramsdale and Lloris as a rotating combo and it looks friggin sweet.
