    I think these Premier League games would be a lot more interesting if each week opposing managers were allocated their own Bargain Hunt experts.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A worthy top comment. I agree with you.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        You could wish David Harper on the managers you don’t like.

  2. Jafooli

    @OfficialFPL

    In solidarity with Gary, we will not be updating the game this week.

    36secs

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Ethical. Finally.

      1. The Mighty Hippo
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        FFS would infill it with gambling ads.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Haha.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Jafooli cooking paratha while commenting on ffs site.

  3. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Liverpool 7-0 last game and 9-0 vs Bournemouth last time they played.
    Not looking good for us non owners

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I agree. Gonna be a scary couple of hours. But the first rule of FPL is that every carefully thought out plan will go wrong. I just hope that applies to all the Salah owners

      1. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He did blank in that 9-0 and played 90 mins but doubt that will happen again

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Salah bound to haul unfortunately.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      So 2-1 then

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        yeah

        more likely than 16 nil or 8 nil

    4. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Will be 0-1,don't worry

  4. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Can I encourage anyone going to a match today to strike up a chant of F*** the Tories, do do do do”?

    Even if it’s at your kids match. If they don’t understand just tell them you are singing “F*** the tortoise”. Problem solved.

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      More normal to F*** a tortoise?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        … do do do do.

      2. cutch
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I guess he's saying that the bad word in the phrase is not 'F***' but 'Tories'

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Aah! Understand it now.

      3. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        They're easy to catch, allegedly.

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It's painful, I don't recommend it.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      With no commentary, won't MoTD pick up anti-Beeb chants clear as day?

    4. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I was saying Boootortoise

    5. Flog the trog
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Urgh, the tolerant left... Cretins

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        no decent person should tolerate the intolerable

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Do do do do
        F*** the tortoise
        Do do do do
        F*** THE TORTOISE

      3. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I'm not sure you have properly understood what's happening.

  5. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    8. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Palace will get an annoying Zaha goal

  6. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    So the game normally updates within 45 min but its almost an hour and hasnt. Are they cooking something?

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They are clearing the snow from their servers..

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If anything that should make it faster

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Blame it on the snow.

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

      Bonus points

    4. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They heard a lot of whinging snowflakes were crying about a free game not updating to suit their own personal timescales - so they have drawn it out even longer to see if these crybabies wee themselves

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Mate, you ok?

      2. MagicMessi
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        100%
        People complaining about waiting few minuted but they would be happy if they paid for it !!!

        • 9 Years

        Snowflake…

        Has there ever been a more overused and misused insult?

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They are deleting any FPL team belonging to BBC management.

  7. Scalper
    • 9 Years

    3. Eleven Hag

      Mitoma blank is all I need

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)

    5. Haalander

    6. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Glad to see MacAllister and March at the levels they are. Feared they'd be higher

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        I have no Mitoma, dreading it!

    7. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      need Salah to go wild

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        not that wild

  13. Flying Dutchman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Went for Mitoma captain eventually despite having Toney.
    Really hope Toney doesn’t score

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Went mitoma also didn’t bring in toney I could regret that. But something tells me I should’ve capped rashford but alas I got sucked into the double game weeker

    Hi guys, first day of creating a twitter account @fplcritique and here after being a long term lurker, any support and advice would be great 😀 wish me luck!

    1. Eleven Hag

      Content creator?

      1. fplcritique
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yes Hag, not really sure how ill play it yet in all honesty, I spend too many hours on these sites so decided its time to start getting involved 🙂 Any tips?

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Concentrate on the graphics if possible, that's what the current ones are lacking imo.

        2. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          However you want... ask & answer questions, make jokes (preferably not tedious ones about content creators)

          1. The Mentaculus
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Are you asking about tips for making videos / podcasts (or is that just Hag's assumption)? Thought you just meant for this site

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman

      Keep leading the masses astray

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      The incoming Soloman goal is gonna hurt

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      This bench will either give 10 or 30 pts

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Don't really like it tbh

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Think I'd have used BB in GW if I had his squad.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Makes some sense with the risk of injuries after IB etc

  16. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    How did Palace hold Liverpool 0-0 just a few weeks ago?

  17. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    An assist from Ma(C)allister today would be enough. Its the Palace game where we expect the goal...aren't we?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That 'derby' match usually isn't high-scoring.

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        They outplayed so badly Palace away missed loads of chances

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      nope, leeds is where you will get points. palace will be borefest

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Leeds I expect 1-2 BHA goals, I expect 3 vs Palace

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      We'll take what we'll get.

  18. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Gonna put this here before the games start...

    I have a sneaking suspicion that Toney is gonna get sent off this week and do a Dennis.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      So long as you link back to this post if it doesn't happen

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        If it doesn't happen everyone wins 🙂

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Not ruling it out, I believe he will get more YCs than Goals scored this gw

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Of course! That’s why I bought him for a hit so I can swim in the mud with everyone & look like a sheep too just like everyone here.

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Well, that would certainly be something.

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That's who a captained on a small DGW last season I could remember the fail but not who it was.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nice call with avoiding Toney captain!
      I only have March who has the injury doubt but otherwise would have totally gone a Brighton midfielder over Toney for the armband

    I don’t think I can face this match. Any chance there’s a freak violent snow storm about to hit Bournemouth?

    I hope everyone who listened to the content creators who upped wildcard 26, took at least 2 hits to get their teams right for liverpool scoring 10 goals today

    Rival surprisingly didn't play wildcard so I have 3 more double gameweek players . Mitoma (c) vs his Toney (c). And Mac10 is a huge differential for me. Anyone else in a similar position? This gameweek is huge for me!

        Yep. Fully expecting the likes of Pope, Shaw, Martinelli and Odegaard to haul.
