    Alvarez is playing up top. Honestly best City option other than Haaland.

    1. Thanos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Honestly, he is worth a punt!

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Akanji too if he defends like that all game ha.

      2. Merlin the Wraith
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah, coming round to that way. If you need 3 city Bilva & Alvarez a cheap way in to release money if you're happy to take rotation risks. I know I am

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Looks like him and Silva are alternating between RCM/RW

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      You should get Foden too.

      They play for Man City so must be good FPL players.

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        I hate Pep Roulette

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          I like it. Lures people in.

          Disappointed Foden didn't start today. Many here were set to jump down that hole.

          1. _Greg
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            True.

          2. TheBiffas
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Yep

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      This isn't the City first team though. With DeBruyne back it changes the shape completely.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Then kdb replaces Alvarez

  2. Thanos

    Partey YC for kicking the ball

    We’ll see many YC this season and many variations in BPS!

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      It deserves a booking. Players will soon get used to the new rules - I just hope the refs get the support they deserve.

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      About time too - been warned all preseason about at last getting tough on time wasting/breaking up the play,
      will need to watch for the first five to eight games number of bookings

      Also, Possible Manchester City & Arsenal starting elevens (ex City keeper change)
      Havertz up front no Jesus
      Alvarez starting up front

    3. Stout scout
      • 17 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I'm all for it. All too often players given a booking would pick up the ball to argue with the ref. Now, that should simply be a second yellow for delay and an ejection. After the first one or two of those ejections, players will get the message and play the game like professionals rather than argue everything like six-year-olds in the schoolyard (or like Arteta).

  3. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Refs are going to be dicks this season. We want fewer yellows not more.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      But players have been taking the e p for many years

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      We want more yellow to stop them wasting time !

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Has to get worse to get better

    4. Igor! Pulis(w)ic!
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I for one welcome our new clamping down on bulls*** overlords.

  4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Alvarez or a 6.5 mid is going to be an interesting debate

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Eze + Alvarez

      Forget Mitoma

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Easy 3-4-3

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        If it weren’t for that GW1 fixture yes it would be quite easy

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      DeBruyne starts week one and you're in the mud.

  5. THE Wild Rover

    ITV picture is shite. Really wishy-washy, overexposed.

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Yeah the brightness is off.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Swear this is usually on BBC? ITV subjecting us to 90 mins of Lee Dixon should be cause for licence fee refunds.

        1. _Greg
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          He's a big City fan.

        2. Ron_Swanson
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Surely nobody still pays the license fee?!

    2. _Greg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      When you have a perfectly calibrated OLED it's quite apparent.

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        This

    3. FPL Blow-In

      • 13 Years

      It’s on premier sports also but that’s not much better.

      First world problems

  6. g40steve

    Arsenal doing a lot of tugging

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      That offence needs cracking down on too.

    2. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Yep Arsenal are a right bunch of tuggers

    Brighton v Rayo Vallecano - live on youtube

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEFJ4l06bF8

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Pedro will be a starter... By watching him play, you can tell. He will be one of Brighton's talisman this season. Such a great and versatile player .

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        From watford wasteman to Brighton talisman

        Incredible jeff

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 17 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Yeah that was how I remembered Pedro, I scoffed at the talk of him as an option for FPL. Seems to have come on leaps and bounds.

        2. MGMT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Have you watched any of his games in pre-season? Anyone who has kicked a ball, can tell the guy's talent. He has the potential, and for sure is Brighton's best man on the field today (and also in all preseason games)

        3. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Last time I checked Watford wastemen don't get £30m record moves

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Richarlison got one for double that

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 17 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Pedro seems very lively and full of energy alright. Would be very hard to leave him out given his versatility.

        Ferguson and Welbeck do not have that versatility so they are competing for the one spot.
        It is only Enciso/Bounanotte that competes with Pedro. So the more I think of it I think you are correct Pedro should start.
        I was only watching the Brighton game for 5/10 minutes and Pedros name was mentioned about 4 times.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Now in my team

        2. KadMan
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Agree with this. Watched the first half and Pedro has been the best attacker by a distance. Mitoma has been decent too. March mirr involved in buildup while Welback is playing one twos alongside Pedro.

        3. MGMT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          He is apparently on Penalties as well.(2/2 in preseason)

          1. Crunchie
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            Kudos plays in March's position

          2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 17 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            I saw that as well, I think Gross was still on the pitch when Pedro took the pen. I am open to correction on that.

            But if Pedro is on pens - that alone is a reason to get him. Luton could be blitz by Brighton a style they would never have faced in the championship.

    Thoughts on C. Chukwuemeka?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Will be kept out of Starting lineup by Mkunku

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        So should play GW1?

      2. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Completely different positions

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Good until Nkunku comes back, which could be GW2

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yeh agree - trying to find a good 4.5 mid

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Welbeck hits the bar

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Arteta YC

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Havertz done very well there winning the ball back and then the free and yellow for Rodri

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Arteta is going to get a lot of yellows this season

    Wonder if klopp will continue to get away with everything. Probably

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Riiiight.

    2. Mirror Man
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Jurgen flosses his teeth with yellow cards. Allegedly.

  15. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    I predicted Arsenal would struggle with these new rules punishing players and manager moaning at the ref.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

    Anyone considered going without Haaland 😛

    Been invisible so far.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      He normally is. Then scores five goals.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Try it & report back after 5 games?

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yes. He is not Ronaldo or VanPersie in their prime.

    4. Crunchie
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      AFter GW9, yes when Liverpool and Man City fixtures switch (will consider it) 🙂

    5. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years

      Do you remember last years narrative after the same game?
      Haaland not suited to English football it will take him time.
      Haaland's presence has unsettled Man City.
      They should have brought Kane....

          Join as teams were removed last season when eliminated. Will be a smaller competition due to various reasons so make sure to enter by Sunday or you'll have to wait until I open it again. Would have been open ages ago if there wasn't a lot of work needed.

                3 years, 27 days ago

                I know you’re not an advocate of Havertz but Ortega stuck his leg out to stop that and considering the distance between them, that was a very good save.

        He remains consistent.

    Pedro on penalties. 1-1.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      He’s been great. Also Welbeck who hit the crossbar earlier

      1. RN
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Welbeck hit the bar twice, looked good until coming off. Gross is still on the pitch.

      A defender holding his clean sheet...

        I like my defenders to have some attacking threat

    How many times will Arteta be sent off this season?

    1. Mirror Man

      Not enough.

        Captain Scarlet Arteta

          An absolute spit

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years

      Hopefully many.

      It's embarrassing, such a poor example

      As many times as that ref is in charge, by the look of it.

    Horrific finish from Havertz

      Thought he did quite well on the turn

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 27 days ago

        Sam. Pass was behind him, he done well

          *same

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Thought it was a decent attempt given it was behind him

    Pedro on pens?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Could be with mcallister gone

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Seems so, I thought it would have been Groß

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Has been all pre season hasn't he?

      Was Gross on the pitch?

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Yup Gross was on the pitch

    4. KadMan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Seems so. Would be the right thing to do. Pedro is their 9 and very young. Giving him pens would keep him confident.

      Gross is getting old.

    Haaland looks so poor. Time to take him out and put kane after his quadruple

  29. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years

      Turner maybe

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years

        If he goes to forest
