    Dorgu looks very attacking, too bad there is nobody to cross to

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Bruno time!

  3. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years

    Hojlund movement is quite average, the dorgu cross which hit Dias
    Hojlund run should've been across Dias

      Average is very generous, it’s shocking - he actually marks the centrehalf

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Hard to argue with this

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡

      I reckon that I could have had more touches than him in the 1st half and done equally as well with them as he mustered twice.

      1. The Red Devil
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Forget even the touched, but his movements are bad, the whole point of a forward is to be away from a defender but he keeps running besides defenders

    Marmoush forces save

  5. The Philosopher

        Not as advance, playing at CB

      Immediate rest please. Man has played too much lately.

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Witnessed an actual save, this is not a drill

  7. Sun Jihai

    Gvardiol 9 pointer!

      On my bench, desperate for MUN goal 😛

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years

      Steve did you go Foden?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Yep for my sins

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 7 days ago

          Not far behind with my Savinho punt

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 7 days ago

            Still got Gordon disappointment tomorrow, got ft’s to sort for next week.

    Never did I think a derby could be this boring

  11. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Marmoush banger saved

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Ugarte miss

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    City are very mediocre without Haaland

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Probably even worse with him

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Huh?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 7 days ago

          They look one dimensional this season when he’s on the pitch, and he doesn’t move as much as he was in prior seasons

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 7 days ago

            That’s due to poor service. Doku and Savinho has been pretty awful and KDB has been injured. Haaland is the best goals scorer in the word so can’t blame him lol

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Marmoush impresses me every time I watch him

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Agreed. Will help next season. Guardiola selling Palmer, Mahrez and Alvarez has a huge mistake

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Really wanted LFC to sign him

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 7 days ago

          But you got Chiesa

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 7 days ago

            Weird how little he's played. Must be a valid reason behind the scenes though.

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Bruno dropped big time in the BAPS, needs a jammy penalty now!

  15. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Avengers assemble, captain Marmoush please finish one these

  16. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Foden WC gamble over. Bin for? Rogers?

    1. Bobbyg1
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Just thinking exactly the same

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      @fpl_tactician
      I know Rogers is a machine and Emery trusts him so much but he isn’t starting Southampton when you need him starting for every other intense game.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Issue is, nobody's really jumping out for me.

        Any suggestions?

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 7 days ago

          Gordon?

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 7 days ago

            3 Newcastle already

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Yeah might go Asensio

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Yeah. Ideally, fixture wise, it'd be a villa mid. Rotation bit iffy.

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Lewis & Jack on

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Sound like a 70's cop duo...

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Palmer & Jackson sounds like a builders merchants

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 7 days ago

          Selling second rate bricks & mortar...

  18. SharkyT
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Bench boost

    A) GW 32
    Areola Gvard Saliba Evanilson

    B) GW 33
    Areola Evanilson Burn Livra

    1FT GW32 so could change the keeper

  19. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Jota Silva on

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Flol 🙂

    1. FantasyTony

      on what?

  21. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    If Savinho gets 0mins, it is Sarr's beautiful 2 pointer.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Winning

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Just a matter of this me before Gvard loses his CS

  23. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Chances of a Murphy or Isak (yellow flag) no show?

    Rogers winking on the bench again...

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      I needed it from Palmer or Foden

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        Need Isak to start still

  24. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    I can't watch two nil nails back to back. In Marmoush I trust

  25. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    My Wildcard going so, so badly. Sold:

    Eze
    Evanilson
    Flekken

    Benched Gvardiol

    *Very nearly* punted on B. Johnston.

    Awful.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Keepers is where I messed it up. Sold Sels and Sanchez for Raya and Areola

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Yoro YC

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Think every United players cuddled Marmoush to slow him down

  28. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Quite possibly the worst Sunday football ever !!! City United look just shite, and Chelsea was even worse

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Liverpool was the worst

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Muck

    3. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      For me the worst PL season of all time. Just lacks quality. No superstars, no ballers. Just dross most weeks.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        PL does seem to lack individual world class performances these days and very little top tier flair....players/teams are over coached?

    4. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Mid-table fixtures always disappoint.

      Newcastle will likely be 3rd in table by GW33.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 days ago

        4th even. 1pt behind Forest.

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      Yep, after the exciting fixtures yesterday these Sunday games have been a borefest. So poor.

  29. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    As a Villa fan and Gvardiol benched… could really do with a (non-Bruno) United goal.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      As a United fan, owning Foden and Marmoush, no Gvardiol and Rogers on the bench…I just want to cry in a dark room

  30. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 days ago

    Can't trust United to score. Useless.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 days ago

      GW1 to 30 is that you?
