    Think I'm giving Murillo & Milenkovic one more week at home to West Ham. If they still show no signs of either CSs or defcons I think I need to move one on to either Munoz, Porro, Lacroix or Dorgu...

    I think I'd enjoy Porro the most. Been torturous watching Spurs without him. Owners unlucky not to get an assist yet.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven

      Yeah, I'm on the fence with Murillo too. 5.5 is a bit expensive for a useless defender.

      Think Marinakis might build a jail in Greece and throw Nuno in it if they even so much as concede to that West Ham side.

      And he'd be absolutely justified in doing so.

        Leaving me with my 1 pointer....

      Never understood why people wouldn't pick Aina instead for 5 mil, probably outscore the 5.5s anyway.

      As for Porro, I feel the same but when I look at his points history never scored more than 130. Too expensive when 6 mil will get you 170

      1. Moon Dog

        Williams was better for defcons than Aina. so if you go for one it's him. The 5.5m options were worth the extra in terms of value last season.

        Spurs defence has tightened up massively from last year, no?

    Anybody else getting Brennan Johnson in?! Two in two, great fixtures coming up, only 4% owned so a hell of a differential, and Spurs looking good going forward so far.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 27 days ago

      I was looking at him. But Spurs seem to really want Savinho and I don't see Kudus or the central midfield changing, so surely Brennan is the one impacted. Usually comes off around 70 mins too. I dunno...

    Do I get any points for calling it spot on?

    Add to that Sels, Milenkovic & De Cuyper in those last games (so equals one point each with Beto sub), whilst H2H get Pickford 15pts off the bench lol…

      I like it

  12. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Every week I need a player off the bench, there's usually 1 and 2 pointers. When I don't, an 8 pointer be sitting in there ffs

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Gudmund example last week 😉

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Hindsight, when looking for a mid to replace Palmer before the double move considered Neto, Ndoye (Forest fan) Grealish & Kudus, went Kudus 😕 Those fixtures 😉

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      You made transfers before all the games were even played?

  14. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    I'm buying Grealish

  15. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Holy hell United look good

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      only been 95 mins of football, but on the basis of it, they should be getting 80+ goals this season

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Another transfer window & ejecting the highly paid Hag transfers out should work wonders

  16. el polako
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Cunha, Mbuemo, Bruno triple up for Burnley needed.

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Famous last words but looking good so far alright

  19. The Philosopher

    Can't see United players' "looking good" points on the app?!

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      It’s a myth, just like DEFCON

    2. Haalander

  25. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    United look ruthless

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      But are toothless with no goals or points so far this season...

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Dat xG though as dey say

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      The opposite of ruthless

    3. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Less than ruthless in front of goal

  26. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    how the hell is cunha still on 0 attacking returns this season

    1. A. PRISE

      In about 10 hours of football. Avoid like the plague.

  27. Unknown1

    Bruno, cunha or Mbeumo for Gw3
    Think think think

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      I’ll be getting whoever looks the brightest from this game I reckon

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Cunha so far even though I’d imagine sesko will be in the mix to start soon with cunha playing behind

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      that is the question

  28. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Cunua could have three already...

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Was wondering who to go for on my FH this GW him or Mbuemo. Mbuemo was much more dangerous against Arse and now Cunha is..

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Maybe both is the answer

  29. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    There is no way the 9m Andersen is worth more than cunha

  30. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Bruno is playing deeper than deep throat

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
