    That is some horrible defending right there.... Every football player has learned since they start playing football, that you need players at the first and last post, at least that's what we always did here in Norway. F**k me, stupid set piece defending that.

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve seen players not do that many times. And if a corner kick resulted in a goal, it was very likely that players were missing from the posts.

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly... Such a simple thing to do, yet it happens more often than it should.

  11. Neevesy

    Well played Saliba!

    However, anyone know why I still have Gabriel over him?

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tell me about it. His stats are better but he’s also 0.5m more..

    2. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you find out the answer please let me know

      1. Neevesy
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Would be a sideways move now, can't bring myself to do it

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He is struggling though, you may have to sell Gabriel anyway!

    3. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I started with Gabriel and swapped to Saliba a few weeks ago. Got all of them goals

  12. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Martinez for goal threat =[

    Saliba for the actual goals…

  13. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saliba you beauty!

  14. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Awesome. Saliba out, Trippier in

  15. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Fst time feeling happy this season on a return. All other returns for me was pretty much template ish.

    Saliba owners among the luckiest FPL managers this season

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      About a month ago I declared Van Dijk to be a budget Saliba, no luck

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      juuuhuuuuuuuuuu. I am one of them and sold Robbo for a hit and the hit paid off.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        God I will always hate this “Juhuuuu” nonsense

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          in different language sounds different

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The assist against Fulham definitely but that was just a good goal from his point of view

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure of your point. Owners are lucky that he scored a good goal. And also that he got another G+A this season.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          By thar logic every return is lucky, no? We're "lucky" to have players that get goals or assists, whether it's someone like Saliba or someone like Haaland

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      All skills mate

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yesssss, I am a lucky man 😛

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you beleive I got Saka in GW2, had for 3 GWs and looked a bit naff & only then he started scoring ha.

    Should have backed myself 😆

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Nice Saka. Need a goal now.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Salibaaaaaaaa juuuhuuuuuuuuuu thank you fantasy gods

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

  21. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saliba again

  22. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Has the French John Terry scored again?

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Finally the decision not to play the WC pays off

    Salibaaaaa you beauty I am becoming your biggest fan in the FPL world

    Juuuuhuuuuu this is why we play the game

  24. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saliba one of the bargains of the season so far. Of course, I’ve not owned him at all.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best CB for Arsenal, you should know this

  25. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gabriel injury now =[

    Wonderful…

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gabriel crooked

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks bad

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Son & Kane just got a bit of luck

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Even with the blank, now I have to keep Saliba

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I owe it to him

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yeah same

  28. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ramsdale tries to waste time from the 20th minute. Wow

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      When the Arsenal cs goes he'll inevitably be a big part of why

  29. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do do do do do do, SALIBA!

  30. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gabriel off?

    1. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no

    2. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not yet. Likely off at HT

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Absolutely no reason to say that. Seems fine

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      From Flashscore

      23'
      Gabriel (Arsenal) seems to be alright and is okay to carry on.
