    Coady shooting from 35 yards 😆

    Only started watching for the second half. First half hour of the second half Antonio looked so dangerous. Last 10minutes he has looked woeful

      Knackered

  3. Duke Silver ☑

    If Antonio could pass a football he wouldn't be half bad.

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Can't believe Antonio is still the highest scoring forward in the game - says it all!

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will be Dennis end of next gw.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dennis is

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully he get some quality forwards join the league next season. Like Haaland and Mitrovic.

      He’s not

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        110 Vs 109 for Dennis?

    5. Quality Quality Qualit
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Half of his goals and assists were in weeks 1-3.

    6. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane will be in a week or maybe 2

  5. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    FFS Antonio - YC cost you bonus and me a very modest green arrow

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jammy Cash points coming from the bench for Ait-Nouri.

  7. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Solid shift from Antonio, albeit a few misplaced passes. Unfortunately only 4 points to show from it.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty much story of his season. Does well for West Ham but not in FPL terms. The fact he's top scoring striker is a reflection of how bad the forwards are this year

      1. fplgaruda
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok we knew already

  8. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What’s the thinking here from the wolves manager? Resting his best players in a big top 4 game?

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I didn't watch that

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Will take the 3 Bowen points and run!

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    People still own Bowen?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And Antonio 😆

  12. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I'll absolutely take that Saiss 2pter with Bowen blanking, my -4 for VVD to Burn and Bowen to Son has worked a treat this week

  13. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Love it when Wolves lose 😀

  14. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Massive win for WHU.

    Heck yeah.

  15. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves now failed to keep a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 PL games

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

      Wolves WC lads not doing the business...

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair, last 5 games have been ARS, TOT, LEI, ARS, WHU

      Palace, Watford, Everton, Leeds, Villa. Newcastle up next 6

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, still think I'll have a defender/GK for next GW, they only tend to concede by 1 anyway when they do

  16. ElChapo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    London stadium might have the most manufactured atmosphere in the country, fans sing the bubbles song as the game starts, silence for 90 minutes, sing the song again at the end

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gallagher >

    A) Willock
    B) Elyounoussi (already have Adams)
    C) Someone else for max 6.0m

    1. ElChapo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulusevski

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsey Martinelli Willock

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Have Ramsey already but Martinelli is a good shout

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like A as a punt, I'm moving Olise to B this week myself

  18. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal should get 4th place. Can’t see United challenging them for it anymore. Spurs will challenge I guess.

    1. ElChapo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      March absolutely key for United, horrible fixtures. Agreed that Arsenal should be favourites

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. But fixtures in hand isn’t always great.
      I really want WH to get top 6 again, which means beating one of Tottenham, MU or Arsenal (and Wolves).

      Don’t like our chances to be fair. But gotta keep up hope.

  19. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    GW27 mission almost accomplished with a game left ... score will not be 15+ behind the FH team 😛

  20. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves have conceded 1 goal or less in 24 of their 27 Premier League games.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could have conceded 3/4 today easily if WHM were more clinical. They were opened up a few times.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Did Sa save their bacon again?

        He is a big part of their defence. And it demonstrates why xGC is poor measure of a team's defence. Goalkeepers are a big factor.

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any point in getting Raul for the DGW? Can see him only starting 1

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't buy, don't sell basically (and don't captain)

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good advice

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He is still a buy.. Watford palace at home and leeds in 30.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fixtures are nice but he just never looks particularly convincing to me - he's had 6 shots on target in his last 10 appearances - one every 125 minutes
          I have him just to the lack of other forwards

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just got his rest?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Brave of Lage to rest him against some rivals (in terms of position) with a week until their next game.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not so sure, might he have a small niggling?

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe right

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m not so sure now. Was all set to to weghorst > Jimenez but I’m debating whether it’s even worth it. Neto looked more dangerous. I appreciate Jimi only had 10 minutes but in all, I’m uncertain he’s actually worth it for the DGW

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Was all set on Edouard > Raul

    4. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      he will 100% start two now. had his rest and they have no other half decent strikers

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Could well be, but 100% no chance.

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why would Wolves rest best striker against one of their rivals for 4th place. Surely would be rested for easier match.

    5. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think he’ll start both, fans on Mol Mix apoplectic with team selection today.

      Whether he’ll do anything in either game is up for debate

    6. JohnnyCroat
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      One rest and suddenly he's not an option? I don't buy that. He'll play both home matches surely.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Guess most thought he would start today?

        1. Shineonme
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Wolves just don't score enough goals. 3rd worse goal for in the league

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t believe at this point in time my non FH team with non moves is scoring more than my FH!

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That’s fpl

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chips are overrated 😛 apart from Salah [TC] last week

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did it enable you to carry lots of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea players through the blank though?

      that will be valuable over the coming weeks.

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He would still have them even if he didn't FH I guess

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          And yeah I would!

          All on Pope, Roberts and Weghorst vs Foster!

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Triple pool and ESR yes

  23. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Chris wood a good option this week?

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s never been a good option. Have you ever seen him play?

    2. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      One thing I can say is, that Chris Wood won't give you wood 😛

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He must give some guys wood out there, and I’ve got wood thinking about them having wood.

  24. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    10 point gain + whatever Pope scores next game for my FH.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      7+ Mee, Tark, Weg(c).
      But that assumes inchose best captain and doesn’t include transfers i woulda made. Not the worst.

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's pretty good imo

  25. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aw, Soucek's 80-year-old Granddad up in the stands for the first time to see him score. Lovely moments!

  26. sentz05
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on playing my remaining FH next week?

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im considering it, but if Chelsea gets a double gameweek I migth WC instead. Do you only have 1 left? Maybe see closer to deadline if you are well set up for GW30, if not maybe then better time to use it, team dependent.

      1. sentz05
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have 1. Who is playing two games in 30?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers mate

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

        Sorry - wrong reply. I wouldn't if your last FH.

  27. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Harry on fire!

  28. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would change to this WC team (assuming CHE double this week)?

    DUBRAVKA
    ALONSO, SAISS, LIVRAMENTO, Trent
    RAPHINA, Salah, Son
    JIMENEZ, BROJA, Kane

    Ramsdale, Saka, Allan, Amartey
    Bank 0.1m

  29. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Hwang an option now?
