      Him defending was 'never a doubt'.

    Klopp looking stunned. 'How dare they'!

  6. Steve McCroskey

    Crazy that some people don't consider Kane a world class striker

    And there we go, give up

    Liverpool defense really is awful. Never thought they'd keep a clean here and probably not in the next game either.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years

      Agree, don’t really do cs, Kane always seems to get something even when tot are poor

      Need to just think of TAA as a mid and forget the cleanies.

    • 9 Years

          Best player in the league by a mile, last week max bonus and didn’t even score as a forward

    Took Kane out on my GW34 wildcard so of course he has to score!

    someone on here saying England players are rubbish.
    Two combined beautifully just then - Harold Kane and Ian Perry[sic[

  18. Paqueta Rice

    Fook sake. My FH defence

    Ederson
    Trent, Robertson, Dias

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      My non FH team had Kane, Toney and Gakpo

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Poor choice of players at the start anyway

  19. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    What are they doing?

  20. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I said don't take the King out

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      How did your Watkins over Trippier/Botman pick go after practically telling everyone they were idiots for doing it?

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Breakeven on Trips (which was the one I was slandering). Botman/Burn make sense to have as bench fodder. However a team who have had one clean sheet in their last 12, combined with one attacking return (for Trippier) in his last six, made no sense to have a premium defender like that.

        Watkins blanked in two games and people want to talk about how he's off the boil but they let Trippier get away with his returns, it literally makes no sense. Combined with the fact that, prior to today, the last time Man U kept a clean sheet was in GW27 and Villa have scored in their last twenty it was easily the logical decision to make.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Today.

          Trippier:
          - xG: 0.00
          - xA: 1.13

          Watkins:
          - xG: 0.00
          - xA: 0.00
          (yes really!)

          If anything you were incredibly unlucky that Tripper didn't haul like crazy.

          People are not as stupid as you're making them out to be. If anything you are looking a bit silly after today's statistics.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Don't understand you quoting my comment below. I still stand by it. The sheep/herd mentality is crazy. Irrespective of Trippier's potential returns today. He didn't, again... for the sixth time in a row and eleventh time in thirteen.

            In those same thirteen weeks he's had an xGI of more than 0.5 only three times and above 1 once (today).

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Why did you pick Watkins in your team then?

              Clearly if you'd looked at the odds etc you wouldn't have started the guy with 0 xGI.

              1. Zenith UK
                • 7 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                I picked Watkins because the lad has been in red hot form. Villa are playing well (and have things to play for) and face a Man U side who aren't full strength at the back and have only kept one clean sheet in their last six?

  21. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years

    I can't stand this Scottish rat

      1. Dušan Citizen

        Never expected to see that 😆

    Long gone are the days of 12 pointers for TAA. Unsure about keeping at 7.5 price point past this double

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not worth it without the clean sheets.

      1. WATERMELONS
        • 6 Years

        Who are the alternatives though?

    Son looking more and more deadly

      Has that look of Goodson park before the Gomes tackle

    The King will be a Red next year.

    King Cantona is with me.

  26. fantasist
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    We have TAA for attacking pts really, clean sheet is just a bonus. So he has delivered the goods.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      Lol

    2. boc610

      call me old fashioned but I like it when my defenders dont concede goals

    So is everyone selling Isak for Alvarez next GW then? Can see Wilson & Alvarez both starting after that performance

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sorely tempted to just have Wilson and Isak. Once seems to come on eventually and they often combine

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Watkins to Alvarez will be very popular

    What's the chance of a VVD headed goal?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      Almost had one

    Haven't even looked at my team as I've been out all day, nearly afraid to do so as I can't really figure out if I've done OK or not today so far going by the scores (although glad I benched Trippier again)

    1. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Can’t be as bad as my monstrosity of 44 points

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You've already won by being out and not consumed by watching the matches and refreshing the scores

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I'd like to say that you're right but after the tantrums my kid had for the first hour today I'm going to guess you may be wrong!

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Terrible 2's ?

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Terrible 3s that have been going on since about 3 months

              It does get better ! We are at the nice stage now. Always good to see them when they come to stay .

          That's nothing compared to the Brighton midfield owners on here (myself included)

      You’ve not bothered to have a look at your team yet you’re here commenting on a fantasy website?

        Never said I wasn't bothered scalps
