Ruben Amorim makes five changes to his starting XI, however.

      Can’t believe I’m on a 29 point green arrow with 58 points

    Yesterday was kinda crazy ; never seen a FH bus hit so hard.

    Need kluivert, taa and Salah red cards today. Possible.

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’m not sure what Salah has to do to get a yellow, never mind a red.

      1. SligoRovers1928
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Take his jersey off… twice

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Nailed it

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Here you go

          1. SligoRovers1928

            1 year, 1 month ago

            Waiting for the second comment…

      Dont know about getting booked, but frankly cant see Salah or that over hyped content creator choice Diaz getting anything today. I reckon the mighty Spurs rock up today.....

      1. SligoRovers1928
        • 1 Year

        Aged like milk

      Just came here to post having seen this comment earlier. After gesterday’s results i think you may be on to something here

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        It was on, the Kluivert sub killed it.

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How come Liverpool kick off to win the league at the same time as the FA Cup semi final at Wembley for Forest and Man City?

    I reckon Liverpool would have taken an evening game even if Spurs fans got stranded.

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Valid question

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sky would never give up their biggest super Sunday slot.

      They might have negotiated the 2pm slot but no way they give up their 4.30 slot

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Agree, its terrible that they playing at the same time as the FA Cup semi

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Is that why City couldn’t sell their tickets?

    5. SligoRovers1928
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Presumably the fixtures were decided before last week when it was confirmed Liverpool could win it today

  5. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I think Martin Tyler's past it, bless him

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Am I going mad I’m sure he had retired a couple of years ago

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Still better than Drury

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        You really think so? Drury is the GOAT.

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Drury is like chocolate cake. Sometimes it’s great but having it all the time makes you sick

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            His commentary is annoying imo

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              I know what you mean, he’s a bit too full on, if he toned it back a bit he’d be perfect

              1. Qaiss
                • 10 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                Yep way too much, don’t want to hear poetry and prepared lines non-stop

          2. Nightcrawler
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Prepared lines and too much random shouting

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    the more rolls you do, the higher chance of a foul being given

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Semenyo goal

    Evanilson assist I think

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    semenyo g
    evanilson a

  9. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Evanilson assist, Semenyo goal

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    completely sold semenyo at the wrong time (before fulham) after holding for so many frustrating blanks 😥

  11. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    investigate the ref!!!

  12. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Semenyo the troll

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Evanilson yay

  14. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Andy Martin's non-FH team in heaven!

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Kluivert was about to score that haha

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    how tf is that not a yellow and adams' tackle was 😆

  17. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Glad I went Evanilson over Wellbeck or Raul. Still despite another good week I’ll be lucky if I’m inside top 600k by end of it with no chips left! Annoying season. Not as enjoyable at such a low rank.

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Of course I went with the wrong Bournemouth attacker

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kluivert probably getting a pen at this rate, all over them

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Which he’ll miss

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          More exciting than a blank 😎

  19. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I had semenyo in fh draft no. 68

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Lavely

    2. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Excellent.

  20. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Sanchez, Semenyo, Enzo and Sess all on the bench. Played the BB a week too early.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They should let you combine chips, FH and BB would have been dreamy this week

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Maybe FPL Towers should think of something like this

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Would also make it more dynamic, more chips strategies

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Doubt there would be more stategys as everyone would play BB the same week as FH so instead of 2 chips it would feel like 1 OP chip.

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Not really - because in reality you’d be able to combine any one of the chips.

              E.g some may opt to WC and BB same week

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                If there was a large DGW for example

              2. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                If you provide more options in how to play the game there will be more strategies

              3. _Ninja_
                • 15 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                Doubt it as in WC you want to have a cheaper bench to maximize on field value, with FH/BB you can spread it all around for just 1 week for those specific fixtures, cant see anyone not combining those 2 chips if given the choice.

            2. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Also you can do well on each chip in isolation ...

              I got a 25% rank rise with 94-4 points last week BB and currently on a FH score of 67 points with triple Liverpool to come and a 25% rank rise as it stands.

              With better bench points last week too.

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                You did well then, I’m just saying if you had the option of doing it would open up the game more, more discussions, more strategies, more content for creators.

                Options = Value

                1. _Ninja_
                  • 15 Years
                  1 year, 1 month ago

                  I do agree the more options the better it would be, i think fpl try to appeal to the masses though and dont like giving too many choices lol

                  1. Scapegoat Salah
                    • 9 Years
                    1 year, 1 month ago

                    Maybe they could do 2 versions of the game, FPL Casual and FPL Hardcore!

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          The double dip chip

  21. F4L

    big save from kepa

    1. Herger

      MOTM so far

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Need a Salah Diaz TAA masterclass!

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yep, we got the Trent info 30 mins ago

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      That source was wrong before.

  22. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Have Man Utd been changed to a '1' on the FDR yet?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They should be, careful Jimx will be along soon ;’

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I'm probably jinxing all the Bournemouth defensive asset owners here but this will be the 14th time this season they've failed to score in the league. That's remarkable for a team of their stature.

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    The red devils are cursed

  24. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years

    What weeks will be doubles and who?

    Have AM left

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      DGW36, BGW37 if there are any for Palace, Wolves, and the winner of this afternoon's FA semi and their scheduled GW37 opponents but GW37 cup poseponements could also be played later in GW37 (if so no more DGWs or blanks)

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Depends on City v Forest today, any doubles will be 36, you either play AM35-37 or 36-38 anyway.

  25. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Close from Fernandes but offside anyway

  26. FplmorelikeFml

    Haha knew this was a quiet and boring affair the moment I saw only 1 page worth of comments after 55mins of game time

  27. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago
