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

  2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Bruno time!

  3. The Red Devil

    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, 3 months 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, 3 months 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

      Immediate rest please. Man has played too much lately.

  6. Revival

    Witnessed an actual save, this is not a drill

  7. Sun Jihai

    Gvardiol 9 pointer!

      Steve did you go Foden?

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yep for my sins

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Not far behind with my Savinho punt

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years

            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, 3 months ago

    Marmoush banger saved

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Ugarte miss

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    City are very mediocre without Haaland

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Probably even worse with him

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Huh?

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Marmoush impresses me every time I watch him

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

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

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Really wanted LFC to sign him

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          But you got Chiesa

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

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

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

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

  15. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Avengers assemble, captain Marmoush please finish one these

  16. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Foden WC gamble over. Bin for? Rogers?

    1. Bobbyg1
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Just thinking exactly the same

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

        Any suggestions?

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Gordon?

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            3 Newcastle already

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yeah might go Asensio

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Sound like a 70's cop duo...

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Palmer & Jackson sounds like a builders merchants

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Selling second rate bricks & mortar...

  18. SharkyT
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months 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
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Jota Silva on

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      on what?

  21. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

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

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Winning

  22. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Just a matter of this me before Gvard loses his CS

  23. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      I needed it from Palmer or Foden

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Need Isak to start still

  24. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

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

  25. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Yoro YC

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Think every United players cuddled Marmoush to slow him down

  28. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

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

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Liverpool was the worst

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Muck

    3. EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Mid-table fixtures always disappoint.

      Newcastle will likely be 3rd in table by GW33.

      1. BUZZBOMB ♡
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        4th even. 1pt behind Forest.

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months 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
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Can't trust United to score. Useless.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      GW1 to 30 is that you?
