    Remember when we used to get defenders in for CS?

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

      There's two approaches now. Get the attacking ones and hope for G/A, or get the cheapest ones possible.

        Definitely this.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Hendo was probably more important than I thought

        Oops reply fail

    That was quick. I think I should have got Bailey over Gross but good to see him ticking.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Oh you got Gross in the end man? Good stuff, he got a nice return today I see

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

        Yeah haha. Was looking dicey when he was at fullback (even then did get a good chance and was getting forward a fair bit).

        But Bailey really is super on the stats. Better team - but also better competition.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Nice one, yeah Bailey though seems to have made this position his own now, an intriguing pick for sure!

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mark did

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

        Yeah I saw him talk about doing that on his video. It very much had me tempted to do the same. Bailey is always at the top of the NPxG tables on Blackbox.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably benched next game lol

  3. Bubz

    Was considering Diaby to Bailey -4 all week but didn't pull the trigger in case Diaby got a start today. Sigh.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Did him to Bowen - 4
      Last 3 gws minutes, 5, 16, 45, had enough !

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I thought he might start today because he's fresher than others but he's clearly just completely out of favour

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I thought he would , seems outa favour now, prob get on at some time
          Cash next on hit list !
          Villas fixtures improving, need more nailed on players

      Welcome to Billa Park.

  5. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    All this time I thought Saliba was a good pick.

    1. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He was early in the season

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Typo ? missed the "r" in pick ?

      I think Villa park was my favourite away ground, Haven't been since they were last relegated mind

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I certain do - I was at Filbert Street! (Boring match - only 2 goals)

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It scary to think it was 9 years before I was born

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Saka that’s two chances

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

    Is Son in the squad?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tommorow, i don't know, anyone else.

      I could my first jammy points of the bench this season with Adringa 🙂

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

      Not travelled to Newcastle

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        wow cheers

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

        There been news of this?

      3. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Shite! Spurs are at home. Good one 🙂

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Haha sorry mate couldn't resist, don't normally get anyone going for that on here but got a few bites

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs play tomorrow?

  10. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saliba IN a few weeks ago was a truly inspired transfer.

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

    The scouts picked Darwin over Salah....

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      86m budget perhaps?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No budget constraints can justify that

      2. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on Haaland i guess.

        I had Pedro since GW1 as having both him and Salah was a squeeze

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, they haven't had a good week. Whoever's up against them this week could get the win.

  12. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Glad I started James over Saliba

    1. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I've got James as well (over Gabriel) - feels like this is when he hauls

      1. Scalper
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He won’t be a differential in 4GWs time

  13. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I need to fund alvarez -> watkins by doing maguire -> 3.9

    who is the best 3.9? trusty?mengi? someone else?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mengi or Bell

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Chris Richards at Crystal Palace

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe, not with our run though, an a Doucoure loan replacement coming in i think, during January.

        But i really rate him as a player

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Presumably this is a slot last on the bench that you're not going to touch for a while..............I always go for the upside on this pick

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yes, he is an excellent back up. USA no.1 CB. I hope he stays until Guehi goes after Euro 24

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

        Awful results with him playing and awful fixtures

    3. romperstomper
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      good shout, thank you

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It's a crap shoot but potentially Baldock. He is close to fitness from what I read. More attacking than the rest mentioned.

      Slight issue is SHU put in a couple of good performances and he's not been in the XI (not due to him, just fitness till now.)

      But probably more down to Wilder.

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, Baldock could be a good shout

  14. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Quick fact;
    United have lost more home games in 11 years after Ferguson retired than they did in his 26 years as boss…

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mid table team now

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ferguson is no Hodgson who is only 6 years younger imo.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Otherwise they could call him back 😉

  15. ManUtdFan977
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best Bruno replacement I have saka son palmer and salah? 8.8itb

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Get another Man Utd midfielder. Don't lose the faith.

      1. ManUtdFan977
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve kept faith for 16 gameweeks now it’s run out

        1. VGD
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Gordon, Palmer, another Arsenal midfielder?

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      McTominay

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

      Rashford

  16. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saka owners its ok dont worry...the 5 pointer assist is coming. Might happen in the 96th min but its a contract between Saka and FPL that he needs his assist

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Given even from a cross rebound. No-one else has deal this good.

  17. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best defender at 4.1m?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Charlie Taylor maybe

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Banned next game though.

        Branthwaite looks like a nailed starter for Everton.

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

      Branthwaite?

  18. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Benched Branthwaite for Tsimi and Saliba so cue a haul against Chelsea tmr 🙁

  19. Original Sin
    • 11 Years

    Just took a -8. Feeling bad but then again, whats the point in life if we can't sometimes do whatever the h*ll we want to

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Took a -8 last GW and got a pretty good green arrow. GL.

      1. Original Sin

        Thanks mate.

    Rice specsavers

  21. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I keep failing at getting CS from defenders in dodgy teams with good fixtures but the set and forget Arsenal or Liverpool defender isn't really looking more appealing right now

  22. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno to Son, no-brainer?

    1. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know why you'd have Bruno in the first place tbh

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Used to be on penalties and a bit of a differential.. but has backfired a lot recently.

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

      I'm concerned you may actually have no brain if you still own Bruno 😉 x

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Getting possibly injured Son who is sold by every man and his dog tomorrow doesn't make the concern any smaller.

    How many more batterings is ETH allowed?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      How much longer will people blindly blame the managers

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I guess when they stop seeing the difference changing a manager can make, like Sheffield United today for example.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          See below, it's the players at United, that squad is horrible

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Loads of them are players he has brought in

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Who has he chosen to bring in out of interest?

              1. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Are you saying the transfers aren't his responsibility either?

                1. WVA
                  • 9 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  No I'm genuinely asking, I have no idea who he's asked them to bring in?

                  1. faux_C
                    • 13 Years

                    100m on Anthony

                    1. WVA
                      • 9 Years
                      2 years, 3 months ago

                      Price is pretty irrelevant these days, all transfers are ridiculous

                  2. Bubz
                    • 12 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Antony, Mount, Onana, Hojlund, Reguilon, Amrabat, Evans, Eriksen, Casemiro, Varane to name a few

                    1. Bubz
                      • 12 Years
                      2 years, 3 months ago

                      Maybe not Varane actually

                    2. WVA
                      • 9 Years

                      Hmmm that's interesting, thanks

      2. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This. That club is a mess from top to bottom. United fans need to accept they're a consistent mid table club now.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It’s accumulated blame

      Manager tactic wise and how he’s handled certain situations but the players are also massively to blame

      Some not good enough, some think they are better than they are. On insanely inflated wages but put in little effort and down tools as soon as things become a little tough. It’s a toxic dressing room and they need to get rid of many of those players or soon they will get their way and the manager will be sacked *again*

      And we know how sacking the manager over removing the toxicity from the dressing room has gone right?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He's handled the situation like with Sancho well, Sancho was a disgrace. Martial is the perfect example of how screwed they are

  28. g40steve
