    Bowen and Antonio were absolutely huge for me today and of course they do crap!

      Poor GW for most

      Antonio got double his usual tally

    Why are people wild carding this week?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think people are planning to BB in DGW29 and have players for BGW30 so not to use FH

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Think people were looking at a FH 30 but the games aren’t very good for a differential score and the teams playing are good in the GWs before. So can be managed. Looking at 33 some of the big teams are likely to be missing so better FH. Not sure about BB29, it doesn’t look great

    What do you guys think of Richa in the coming games?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rich Charlie's son?

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        William or the other one that ran off with a Yank?

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison? He looked quality against City. Two unscheduled DGWs. Lack of good forward options.

      Yeah, there's a lot to like about that punt.

  4. janowsc
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    100% Kepa wants Chelsea to lose.

  5. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thiago in tears. Poor chap.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He obviously doesn't realise that this cup is the rubbish one.

  6. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thiago what a big baby

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Whoops I mean poor guy.

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Pulisic sitter

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

      Awful miss. Must be around 0.8 xG surely...

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hwang an option?

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Podence, Trincao, Neto, who knows how they'll line up.

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jorginho being out of favour at the moment means Mount is on penalties.

    That's his set-piece monopoly complete.

  10. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which duo would you rather have on WC:
    a) Hwang + VVD
    b) Jimmy + Digne

  11. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso sticks out like a sore thumb. Just not up to the pace of the game.

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

      He's past it for sure. Chilwell's injury ruined Chelsea's season.

      I'm surprised they didn't buy someone in January, as they'll surely look to move Alonso on in the summer.

      1. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wasn't a huge amount available. Club didn't want to spend silly money on someone who'd be a backup, but equally didn't want another sub-par name that would clutter up the club and block the likes of Maatsen from moving through the system.

        I was expecting a loan of some kind, but not sure there was anyone that keen on loaning out a PL quality LB / LWB in the middle of the season

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

          That's fair. Difficult situation.

          I thought they could bring in someone like a Tsimikas in to challenge Chilwell long-term. Top teams need a lot of depth these days. But yeah, slim pickings in January...

  12. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Think the confirmed addition of Chelsea v Norwich in 28 is going to push me towards wildcarding in FPL and Fanteam, and even looking at a 28 pt hit in Fanteam for teams I've already wildcarded - it should look measly compared to the points gained...

    Mendy, Rudiger/James and/or Mount I reckon?

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      -28 on Fanteam is mental. I feel bad if I do a -4 and real bad -8.

      What’s your rank?? I’ve got no more wildcards

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        13/88 in the high roller game is where I have used WC already (14 places pay out).

        I just feel like maybe ripping the bad aid off is the way to go, rather than just slowly getting overtaken - also my TV in that game is 109.5 so it would help me to use that to my advantage.

  13. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rudiger and Mount the only feasible Chelsea picks going forward?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe Thiago Silva & Havertz

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As it stands. But Reece James will be a big player soon. Hopefully he gets a good 60 mins midweek.

      You never know he could start both the DGW games and come off early in each. Huge ceiling.

      1. EL_FENOMENO
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Highly unlikely starting both. Will be eased in very carefully by Tuchel

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

          Yeah, probably wishful thinking.

  14. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Mane awful.

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Cup Finals are usually tight and stodgy, but this is a really entertaining game! 🙂

    Chelsea look great. They love a knock-out tournament...

  16. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    My 5 defenders are TAA VVD Cancelo Tierney Livramento

    Who’d you sell for Rudiger?

    1. griffzinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Livramento for me. Pernaud is back in contention. Could make an argument to get rid of VVD too, but feel that is a sideways move tbh.

    2. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tierney

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Leaning towards this. Arsenal DGW fixtures dont look great defensively

        1. Fish up a tree
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Depends also if you are FH30 or not as Tierney is a player you would want still?

          1. Buck The Trent
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm .. forgot that Tierney plays in Gw30

  17. Wally711
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Its tight, I wonder which of these teams will win the MAN CITY cup.

  18. Parsnips

    Suggestions on what to do here? 1FT 2.3ITB

    It was always the plan after WC27 but now thinking it might be worth holding for DGW36. But if I do, who on earth do I bench? 😆

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, BB for sure

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        cheers.

        I can't see how I can get away from it.

        Really want to keep though to match my ML rival who will almost certainly keep his for DGW36.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          36 will have more rotation though
          Can't see who you bench otherwise, the team is too strong and spread out

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers

            Yep, it was my plan so I should stick with it. I will still have TC/FH vs his BB so it will be interesting tactically.

  21. Costa Nostra

    Mendy.. two world class saves there....

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years

    Mane 😆

  23. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Mane had to stole baps, now rubbish.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Am I to deduce from this that Mane robbed a bakery and now the food he took has had to be thrown away?

  24. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Has anyone even had a can of Carabao?

    Never seen it in a shop.

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

      Neither have I!

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      The fans' of the team that wins tonight will make you believe it's the greatest energy drink ever made.
