    that's a red imo. has a free shot on an empty net. Villa defender not getting to it

      100%

        Not for me Almiron was dramatic , but if I’m middle of pitch then maybe

        1. Boxwoods

          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          Don’t disagree about the drama.
          But just so flagrant by Martinez. And clearly a goal scoring opportunity.

          If anything, I’m biased in favor of Villa as Cash owner.

      Villa defender was 100% in between him and the goal and I’m completely neutral

      1. Zalk
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Agree, neutral here too.

      2. putana

        yes he was, but the net was completely open. Easy ball to put in

        1. TheTinman
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          Especially for someone like Almiron

    Went Eze over Diaby.

    Wrong choice of 6.5 mid!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Season over

    2. Boxwoods

      Diaby looks a baller

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      maybe long term but have a look at Eze's stats from today, 8 shots 7 chances created just unlucky

    4. Wenger's Warriors

      Use one of your Infinity Stones....

      1. NotNowKato
        • 14 Years

        Infinity Stones didn't play today

        1. Wenger's Warriors
          • 4 Years

    What happened to Gabriel? Is he gonna start next game?

    1. Fish up a tree

      I reckon so away at Palace

    2. Boxwoods

      Didn’t fit today’s formation.

  4. BeaversWithAttitude

    No way should Emi get away with that! Two hand tackle! Unbelievable!

    1. BobbyV
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      He got the yellow...

    2. Peteex
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      It was a clear yellow card and he received it

  5. Zalk
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Cash's timing is nowhere to be seen.
    Martinez is the clown we always knew he was.
    Gordon is down more than Neymar.
    Great game!

  6. TheTinman

    Miggy Almiron cuts back and slots that home 999/1000 times. Get him off

    1. Zalk
      • 15 Years

      Still a yellow mate, calm down.

    Lots of players performing well in GW1....gonna be an interesting transfer market...

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years

      Wildcard active Jafooli?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Tempted lol....but sides doing okay, returns from all players bar Eze..

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      The GW1 fixture machine has thrown up a lot of mismatches - my reason for benchboosting - apart from Watkins, all my players faced/face relegation favourites. People ought to take that into account before knee-jerking.

  8. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Great first half that

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah, two good sides. They'll both likely be in Europe again next season.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      There is a lot more drama to come in this one Geoff

  9. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Keeper luck continues into this season. Played Ramsdale, Leno on bench. Them’s the breaks I guess. Welbeck over Pedro also a great shout. Onwards and upwards.

  10. Zimo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    How do u fit Diaby into a front 7 of

    Salah Saka Rashford Richarlison
    Haaland Watkins Pedro

    Downgrade Watkins and upgrade defence?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Same dilemma here. I'd like him, but there's no place for him unless Rashford or Bruno do themselves a mischief on Monday.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      I'd probably hold firm for a week, and then reassess. No bad picks there, keep the faith in them

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Also, you're talking about taking a hit when you have no injuries.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          Yep. I don't even like using a FT when there are no injuries. Always save when possible imo.

      2. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Won't get now but a mini wildcard in GW3 might be on the cards.

    3. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Same here with Mitoma instead of Rich. Need two more forward slots.

  11. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    It was a red card because the goalkeeper was not in the goal.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Erm not quite the way it goes

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        If the defender wasn’t back it would have been a red or if it was more central there could have been argument that it was a clear goal scoring opportunity but I think the correct decision was made

      2. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        The rules are clear and obviously goal scoring opportunity that is the wording, it does not take a genius to work out that it is easier to score a goal when the goalkeeper is not in the goal.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          Of course it is easier but he is running towards the touch line when he was fouled and there was a defender back. If it was clear and obvious the referee and VAR would have said so.

          1. Randaxus
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 days ago

            My opinion is that if you have the ball in the final third of the pitch and the goalkeeper is not in the goal that is a clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity, we can agree to disagree.

            1. GREEN IS GOOD
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 2 days ago

              But that's not what the rules specify

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

                The rules aren’t based off Randaxus’ opinion?

                1. FPL Blow-In
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 2 days ago

                  🙂

            2. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 2 days ago

              There has been numerous instances of this in the past mate, if the keeper was the last man it would have been a red card. Considering where they were on the pitch and the fact the defender was already on the edge of the box almost, it was not deemed clear and obvious. This is in keeping with the way the rule has been applied for years now.

              1. Randaxus
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 2 days ago

                I understand what you mean, the rules don't specify last man but that is how it is enforced, in that case obvious would basically mean an open goal, I think the rules should be changed so fouls like that with the goalkeeper leaving the goal to make a cynical foul should a red card.

              2. Randaxus
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 2 days ago

                I meant clear chance, anyway yes I agree with you about the covering defenders but there was no goalkeeper in the goal which I think makes this situation different, but I get what you mean from the way the rules have been enforced for consistently I think this situation was different because the goalkeeper was making the foul outside of the box.

        2. Randaxus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 days ago

          obvious*

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

      Read the rules bud

    3. Dunster
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      You all need to read the rules, as you are all arguing about the interpretation of a rule from seasons pst. This season the rule is clear that only a foul in the penalty box deemed intentional in this scenario will be shown a red. Everything else is yellow. Honestly.

  12. TheTinman

    Cracking game of football.

    Two very dynamic, pacey teams going at it. Playing football in the right way, aggressive and attacking.

    The referee has had a good game too in all fairness.

    Diaby looks like what Bailey was supposed to be.

    All in all Newcastle look a better team though

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah fair synopsis really

  13. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 days ago

    Anthony Gordon has been sensational.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Except for that cross field ball from Trippier he couldn’t control

      Is Eze injured? Whats changed?

      1. x.jim.x

        He didn’t score and Diaby did.

    Just got back from watching Saints vs Norwich and I tell you what the absence of VAR is soooo refreshing and the game just flows. So much more enjoyable. Forgotten what it was like.

    1. Not again Shirley

      Match of the day. 4 each.

          I’m a tractor goal so good result for us. Top of the Championship for first time in god knows how many years (too many to mention).

    2. Chandler Bing

      What a game to watch live. Must've been fun.

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I think the Championship is going to be more fun than the Prem.

    Watkins a half decent shout for a captain gamble next week at home to Everton?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      You don't fancy Haaland against this defence?

      1. Rico123
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        I’ll probably end up just sticking with that as the default, but I like the idea of taking the odd captaincy punt to make things interesting

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Nah. Everton will probably keep it tight at the back. Siege game.

    1. Zalk

    Evening everyone.
    Gabriel owners - are you keeping or moving on?

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Keeping. If he gets benched next week also then moving him on

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Keep

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah I’ll keep for Palace (a) but if he doesn’t start then I’ll dump him for James ahead of GW3

    4. Space Monkey Mafia
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      I'm keeping but if he doesn't start v Palace it's curtains

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        Thank-you all very much for your advice. This is a great community. FPL means a lot to us all but having the reassurance the scout community provides is SUCH a help. Gabriel is a ‘hold’ for now. Cheers everyone.

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 10 Years

      Same but looks unlikely for me unless Rashford gets a double digit haul and at least one of Salah and Mbeumo score. At 2.5M right now

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 days ago

        To maintain my current OR. It will be impossible as too many have Rashford and Bruno. I'll need Garnacho to score, assist and get big baps while Salah blanks.

    Just seen Martinez yellow. That's a red all day long, without the keeper in net it's a goalscoring opportunity

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He took a calculated risk

        Yep...worked out for him tbf

    2. putana
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 days ago

      yep that's what I think too. He scores that 9/10 times. A villa defender being in the vicinity should be irrelevant

  22. FPL Blow-In

      For his sake I hope he does not get too comfortable on the bench!

      I'm surprised Bayern paid so much for him considering his age.
      Don't get me wrong he's a great forward but doesn't strike me as a athletic type and I think that he will be declining from now on. Maybe 2 years more at the top level.

        “Great forward” is a funny way of describing the best 9 in the world.

        He doesn’t rely on pace, he could easily have another 6-7 years at the top like Lewa, Ronaldo, Ibra

          He's nowhere near as athletic as the 3 you've mentioned, no way in the world he'll be performing at the highest level even in 3 years time, let alone 6 or 7.

            If you genuinely think Harry Kane is going to be finished at 33, I don’t know what to tell you.

              Did I say he will be finished or declining?

              He definitely isn't and will not be as fit as Ibra, Lewy or CR7 and will not be able to keep up I'm every game for 90 minutes.

              Mark my words.

                  Correct, he will not.
                  Highest level means week in, week out. He will not.

                    He’ll be back in the Prem in 3 years breaking the record

      Well, if he's match fit why not? Tuchel will just tell him what to do if he gets sent on.
