    Guess we have to keep defcon monster Murillo for another week

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      If he is up against that West Ham mascot in goal then you’d fancy him to score from a set piece

  2. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Cunha v Mbeumo will be an interesting dilemma at some point this season

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

      Was just going to post the same

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

      I’ll have both over that donkey Watkins.

  3. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Cunha vs Mbeumo watch currently 3-0 in favour of the former Wolves man

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Actual attacking returns 0-0

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

    How much is Dorgu? 5m?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      4.5

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

          10 months, 27 days ago

          Touché

        2. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          10 months, 27 days ago

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

    Bayindir's box work is atrocious... You dont see this bad in the League 1

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

    How was De Cuyper earlier?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Bullied by Ndiaye got YC and leaving just after 60 mins

    2. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      - Wasn't attacking
      - Wasn't on set pieces
      - Got booked
      - Got subbed for his direct competition (also booked).

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

        Ok I was monitoring him, back off the watchlist then lol

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

      Conceded, YC, hooked - 0pts

      Played instead of Esteve & VdV, so for me, it's useless...

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    18 yearl old Josh King 4.5m MID keeping out ESR, Carney and Wilson. Very good 5th midfielder pick

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

      He is if you’re going with three strong forwards

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Yup, should have said 5th mid/8th attacker

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

    They scouted him in the barber shop…

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

      Reminds me I need to go to the barber soon

  9. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    I would make a joke about Brunos position, but it is too deep

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

      It still to be seen if it’s going to bring more joy or pain.

  10. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Anyone on FH next week?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Considering it. Own Watkins and Mateta, don’t want to sell either before their gw 4 & 5 fixtures. Palmer injury seems minor so may be back after IB

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

        Own both and Saka too. Will probably WC GW4 but don’t have the team for next week so likely FH it is!

    2. pocketcroc
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      thinking of doing it if we hear palmer's out

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

    Just to add something to the Mbuemo vs Cunha discussion. When Šeško came on last match, Cunha started dropping deeper to collect the ball and Mbuemo attacked the space behind. So maybe that's the plan with a proper CF playing ahead of them.

    Cunha playing the CF role atm it seems.

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

      Also why I picked Mbeumo on FH this GW, thought Šeško would start.

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

      Yep agree but when he plays on behind that’ll push Bruno deeper that’s if he’s going to play a similar role to what he played at wolves

    3. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      And neither on pens? They are Brunos right?

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

        Yeah Bruno still on pens

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 15 Years
          10 months, 27 days ago

          Thnx

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Similar role when he played left 10 at wolves behind a CF

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        We will probably see an increase in his bps as well

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

    Think I’ll be benching dubravka and Esteve next week

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Why? United look way better but still haven’t put it in the back of the net yet. Burnley have scored more goals than them so far

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

        At home I’m sure they’re due a couple of goals at some stage and if they’re not beating burnley comfortably at home they may forget about it

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

        Seriously?

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 27 days ago

          What?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      GW8 is probably the next time I'll consider to start them/BB - Burnley v Leeds (H)

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

    Palmer & De Cuyper > Cunua & Dorgu for free?

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

      Gives money to upgrade Beto to Wood or just do that for a hit also?

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Yes if Palmer is out

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

        Even if he’s fit, he surely has to go, just not doing it for 10.5m

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

        Agree

  14. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Would you WC this shambles squad?

    Sels
    Konsa Cucu Porro
    Bruno Gakpo Saka* Palmer* Reijinders
    Watkins Wood

    Dubravka Rodon DeCuyper Guiu

    3m ITB & 1 FT

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

      In a heartbeat...

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Seriously though…?

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

          vvv

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

        Watkins, Konsa, De Cuyper, Guiu and likely Saka and possibly Palmer all out...

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 27 days ago

          Fair…will wait until Saka and Palmer news then.

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

            vvv

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

          If Saka is confirmed a hammy, then that would be enough for me....Palmer out and it's 100% WC

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

      Nope. Maybe take a hit and take out saka and palmer if they’re not fit otherwise no.

    3. Canarinha
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Only question mark is Gakpo...rotation risk and i'd swap Watkins for Pedro 100%

  15. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Need something from Bruno in this...

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Mbeumo in Bassey's pocket thus far

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

    Bruno getting random Defcons

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      All from ball recoveries (5)

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

      Will get 11, guaranteed

  18. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    United should bring Sesko on.

    They might actually score with 12 players on the pitch.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Agree

  19. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    After that clown Murillo, I also have another "defcon monster" in Anderson who seems allergic to defcons.

  20. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Could be Bruno pen time

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      It is indeed Bruno pen time

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

    thats not a pen?

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

    Pen check

  23. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Bruno pen

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years

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

    1. NoOneCares
      10 months, 27 days ago

      No one serious owns Bruno.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Please continue to play serious then mate. Don’t own at any point whatever you do.

        1. NoOneCares
          10 months, 27 days ago

          I won't LOL

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

    Has to be a pen

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      He also pulled him back at the end

  26. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Bassey letting his inner WWE wrestler come out

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

    Stupid from bassey easy pen for Bruno and points

  28. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Shaw pulling a Fulham player down at the same time, but that seems to be allowed

  29. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Bruno missing would be epic

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Epic time!

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

        😆

  30. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Bruno skies it 😀
