    Disappointing to see Trossard blank. That's me all out for this week! Only three blanks though, so I'll take it!

  2. Babit1967

    Right Andreas & Rashford goal each here lads

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Can't believe how far sky sports has fallen in recent years

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What do you mean?

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

    I for one am SHOCKED that Ronaldo has disappeared this week with an unspecified illness right before the World Cup. Got Bruno(C) and Martial this week for -4, do me proud lads (4pts incoming)

    1. notlob legin

      LOL just posted re Martial below

  5. notlob legin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Really need Martial to get me from 41 to 43 points this week - fingers crossed!!

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You'll get more. He's goat

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

      I think we're asking for too much for 2pts to be fair

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think coming out without an injury will be success, this is martial we are talking about

    I guess if you're being fair, Manchester United have performed reasonably well since Manchester City rear-ended them in GW9. Eight wins, two draws (against Chelsea and Newcastle) and a solitary gubbing by Aston Villa (which was quickly reversed four days later) isn't really shite form. Hopefully, Rashford can do a bit of rear-ending himself over the next 90 minutes which would make me very happy chappy.

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, there has been a decent progress tbf

    ETH:

    “We need to be good with the ball and we need 3 points”

    No sh*t Sherlock

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Was that in an interview? What else is he supposed to say? Football journalism is a joke.

  8. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martial and Rashford please save my gameweek. Cheers lads.

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      can't believe a green arrow hinges on Martial getting a return for me

  9. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Surprised Garnacho isn't starting already

  10. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No players in this game, so bound to be a goalfest. Should make for good viewing.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      United don’t do goalfests

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martial fluffs a good chance

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      of course he does

  12. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this GW17 team? Other than no Arsenal players, is there anything you would change?

    Ward (Kepa)
    Trippier Cancelo Robertson (Castagne Botman)
    Maddison Almiron Zaha Trossard (Summerville)
    Haaland Kane Darwin

    Nothing ITB. Thanks!

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Apart from being brave picking Zaha it looks fine

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Great feedback, whom would you have instead of him? Barring Arsenal

        1. It's Fergie Time
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          why anti-arsenal? Rashford?

          1. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            In a no-Arsenal league. Rashford sounds pretty good, thanks

        2. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Think Rodrigo has been consistently good. Can you stretch to Kulu/Diaz?

          1. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            That looks good, maybe Kulu, and potentially switch to Rodrigo after 2 GW's. Only way to afford it would be downgrading Robertson, worth it? To whom?

            1. The Ilfordian
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Despite his poor score this week, Perisic has been great and playing most matches or you could save lots of money; Man U have good fixtures and Dalot looks great

              1. C0YS
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Thanks!

    2. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha is a fraud, go Martinelli and have $$ ITB

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

      Hmmm no other City attacker than Haaland might be risky, I think I'll move on Cancelo and just go KDB and Haaland or possibly both of those with another attacker

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I hear you, but that would necessarily mean KDB...just had Foden for a few GW's and other than this last GW it wasn't a good experience, and threemium isn't easy to have

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Will you be brave enough to be playing Kepa over Ward for some games?

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hard to say, going off both of their respective forms probably not. But Leicester are likely to drop off eventually and Chelsea to find their form

  13. Freshy

    • 15 Years

    Bein sports last night said Martinez has won more headed balls than anyone in the top 6 leagues this year

    Dear god Rashford. Such a poor finisher

    1. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Rash owners like me, we don't watch the game. Just hope he gets lucky. -3 on BAPS

  18. NATSTER
    • 15 Years

    Andreas down.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not serious and up now.

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pereira dead

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      nearly an assist but an offside anyway

  20. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Roy Hodgson looking for a new job? (At least watching this match live.)

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He was a legend for Fulham.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Okay, still is, I guess 🙂

  21. diesel001

    Martial misses another good chance

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      water is wet

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It’s what he does, so just what is expected.

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Not watch the game but I just know it’s screaming out for an Andreas goal

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

      You know it

  23. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Seeing the chances missed by Martial reminds me that this game is 98% luck

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      100%

  24. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    As soon as I went Martial instead of Ings as a Wilson replacement, the fate of how this GW was going to go was sealed.

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

      Same

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Did you honestly consider Ings?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        As a one week punt, yes.

  25. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Willian playing well

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

    FUL are playing well as team, Mitro can't be ignored after world cup

  27. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martial header high

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      High?

  28. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone watching the game, how’s my boy Andreas looking ?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Busy

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Good. Here is hope

  29. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martial should have a hatty by now

  30. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Has there been a season where none of the promoted teams got relegated?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Probably. But forest are going down
