    What Are Arsenal fans singing to the "Allez Allez Allez"?

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Must have stolen it just like Liverpool did from the Villa

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I guess Pool did not steal the word "from Paris down to Turkey"? 😀 I was talking about the lyrics.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years

      Why are Spurs fans singing about Partey, when we’ve seen what happened with Mendy this week and when he has no charges against him

      1. jc841
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Had nothing else to shout about so far?

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

    Never a penalty ?!?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      correct

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

      It's not?

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

      My apologies, I thought he pointed to the spot.

  4. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Naughty from Saliba that

  5. Mr. O'Connell

    Stonewaller denied

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

      Lol it’s Hojberg that should be booked there if anything

    2. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I got Kane and no Arsenal defender. Lets be honest, the day that’s a penalty then it’s time to pack up and go home.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martin Tyler absolutely desperate for a pen.

    Man United fans commentary not ideal here.

    Well played, Arsenal!

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looked like the ref pointed to the spot tbh.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Needs to retire

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

      Arsenal miles and miles ahead of Spurs in that half. Look great! Going to be some game next week

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully not a 0-0 because the hype it'll be getting (rightly) will be through the roof.

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

          Yeah, I can’t see it being a snore fest the way Arsenal are playing. Once Arteta doesn’t overthink it and let’s them play their own way as they have been it should be an open game.

  7. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Waiting for Spurs players to arrive in the stadium in the second half

  8. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well well well....

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Going by the posts here, not too many people here who are liking what Atsenal is doing.

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

      MUN fans perhaps?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Probably!

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      United fan but Arsenal playing some beautiful football. Lovely to watch.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So happy, after such a long time.

  10. TheDragon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Owning Martinelli only is really starting to get annoying. Given how similar teams are it’s things like this which do the damage

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He can be quiet in big games. Hoping he does more in the second half

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benched him this week in favour of Odegaard. Have Toney ahead of him too.

      He’s turning into my 1st bench guy

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Same, late decision to bench him over Odegaard here.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Most likely to be benched again for me next week too.

          1. FPL Brains
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Think I'll be benching my United assets for next week tbh. Arsenal look a cut above us.

  11. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    March and Odegaard in for a hit? Seem too good value to wait tbh.

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who you're binning off

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Jealous of the feelings Arsenal fans are now having chasing this title while doing everything the right way!

    Enjoy it, it doesn't last forever...

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They deserve this, if we are in this position you will find prime city winning each game by 3-0 for rest of the season... We are cursed.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Glad Pool won one. 😀 And UCL, which still a dream for Pep.

  13. Ruudy Van
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Thiago to Botman
    B) Salah to Saka
    C) Martial to Toney

    2FT 0.4ITB
    I’m thinking A & C with saka to be the week after.

    Kepa
    Silva* trippier Walker Shaw/White
    Salah* KDB Rashford
    Mitro Haaland Martial*

    1. Ruudy Van
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Apologies bench
      Ward Shaw/White Bailey andreas

      I could start Bailey if required

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

    Damn Odegaard already on +96%
    Price rise probably tonight alongside March and Mitoma 🙁

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Money is irrelevant this season given how cheap everyone is

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Each one of them still a bargain after rising

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hold until the GW is done. Unless you're getting priced out

  15. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm calling it: Arsenal WILL win the Premier League this season. Guardiola 2.0 has managed to drill City 2.0 almost to perfection!

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Careful. I got shot down here for doing that months ago 😉

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not only are they winning it, they WILL also beat Man City in GW23.

        Done.

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal got to play City home and away. See where they are after those two games

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's a perfect time to play them, Arsenal is flying. I was paying attention to the way they react when they lose the ball and its incredible how they are drilled, always 3 to 1 everywhere on the pitch. Very impressed

  16. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It seems long gone are the days where we were deciding whether to have two or three premiums plus have at least one 6m to 7m premium defender.
    It seems bar Haaland and maybe Kane, the players to own are very budget friendly

  17. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best Brighton mid to get on WC?

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

      I'm getting mitoma and march

  18. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Never in doubt

  19. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Seems the really good teams work so hard to score. Arsenal just make it too easy.

  20. Hazz

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Half-time tid-bit!

    For the Mitrovic slip/double-touch penalty earlier today, this has happened in FPL before.

    Mahrez did the exact same thing taking a peantly for Leicester vs. Manchester City in 2017:
    https://youtu.be/BPQwfETH8jw

    FPL awarded Mahrez a penalty miss:

    Penalty Miss! #FPL
    Mahrez #LEI — Tot: 0 pts

      Ahaa! Great memory!

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

        Wish it were memory but just did some research & dug out what I could find!

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

      And both times I owned the player lol

      Great find, did the Mahrez double kick end up in the net too?

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

        I've linked the penalty he took. Click the first link.

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

          Thanks

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice work there to find it out.

      Requires some ninja searching skills.

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook

      For research purposes can you reveal your Google/etc keyword?

    Mitro 0pter... Again!

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

      Lucky I have Bueno coming off my bench for him 😎

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's out for one of Toney/Isak/Wilson/Darwin

      2. MissouriMarten
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        How does that work?

  22. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Did Saka get the assist for the 1st goal? looked like the shot came off Sessegnon first before Iloris fumbled it

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cross into the intended area, after an insignificant deflection...

      I presume would be their reasoning, worse assists have been given!

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Also chill on deleting my post 'cos you made a late post Granville, it wasn't that deep 😆

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What's happened?

      1. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Benoit Blanc will be arriving shortly to explain everything

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

        Nothing serious. Granville just posted a late Odegaard G when it was half time.

        I only found it funny as the same thing happened with another goal the other week.

        Not even time for slow broadband jokes FFS!

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years

      What handbags is this?

  24. sandman58
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who has Martinelli & is tempted to swap to Odegaard?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Swapped Marti for Ode during the world cup. Should have kept Saka though instead of getting Salah.

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Did the same here, he feels more involved.

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would, on a WC. Will have both for GW23

  25. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Saka Vs United or Almiron Vs West ham?

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka for sure

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka

    3. sandman58
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      We will beat Arsenal

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        You and who else ?

        1. BobbyDoesNotLook
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          😀

  26. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gonna Wildcard after next deadline to bring in Gunners & Seagulls and to get rid of the injured and the baddies.

    Which single transfer make most sense for just GW 21?

    2.2 ITB 1 FT

    Edersen
    Trippier - Shaw - *Henry*
    Salah - KDB - Rashford - Bailey - Andreas
    Haaland (C) - Havertz

    (Ward, *Martial*, Bueno, *Patterson*)

  27. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Arsenal lose to City x2 and United x1....

  28. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Odegaard and Saka are hurting my ranks. I would love to go with Martinelli, Saka, Almiron, Rashford, Mitoma. But, the City doubles are making things complicated.

  29. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Almiron Andreas to Mitoma Ødegaard

    A Yes
    B No

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Free? Yes
      Hit? No

  30. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    was planning on bringing in Odegaard in GW22, would you delay or bring in now?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Get in now I would say

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going to wait still. Knew this could happen against Spurs, but I don't want too many players in the Arsenal v Man Utd game as it'll be tighter than this
