    God, after this lacklustre garbage not sure I want any united players. Have Saka & palmer

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

      I'm selling Bruno after next GW... Don't go there

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Cue a brace and 2 assists

    2. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Was even considering the Mbeumo cunha double up, not now

    3. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Don’t have Salah, might even bring him in for the Arsenal game

    4. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Palmer & Saka> Salah and 6m Dango maybe or Ndoye

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

    Ugarte stealing a living

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      He’s been Unitedified, joining an illustrious list of players like Anthony & Sancho

  6. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    My plan was to bring in a Man Utd midfielder for Palmer & captain them v Burnley at home next week .
    I'm now thinking of playing double Burnley defence instead !

  7. Thanos

    Are Calafiori and Timber nailed?

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Not when UCL arrives

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

      MLS and Ben White (when fit) are the issue to their mins

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

        Yeah, that's there.

      2. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Doubt MLS will start before Calafiori anytime soon

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    FPL Towers not removing the goal & assist 🙁

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Anyone got links to some CC teams?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Trying to make yourself feel better? 😉

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

    What top team defends in a back 5? It's too passive off the ball.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Agree. Not against a proper 3-5-2 but too many teams who play that system don't play with proper hard-working CFs and CMs. Man Utd could do it though:

      Onana
      De-Ligt Yoro Shaw
      Dalot Ugarte Fernandes Mainoo Dorgu
      Cunha Mbeumo

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

    Show ratty the card you know he wants it 😎

  12. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    The FPL community were debating Cuhna or Mbuemo, and we have definitively got our answer today…

    Neither

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

      Yup

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      The assist that Mbeumo got is more points than my entire attack minus 1 player (Ndiayme) so it would be a step up for me based on this week’s points

  13. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Bruno captain working well then….not. Fine margins and a 14pt swing probably. That’s many 100s of thousands of places dropped

  14. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Would you WC or wait until IB?
    Could field the following XI before using a FT:

    Sanchez
    Porro/Dorgu/Neco
    Salah/Palmer*/Bruno/Rutter*/Reijnders
    Watkins/Pedro

    Dubravka/Gudmundsson/DeCuyper/Kroupi

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

      Would like to wait. Some transfers might shake things up, but I am discussing WC early with myself

    2. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Only thing with an early wildcard is most of the big hitters have underperformed or injured, who would you bring in?

  15. Teddy10
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    So Mbeumo assist stands?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      It won’t

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

      Gone, refresh

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

    Still relying on Harry to win a game in the dying mins

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

    Looks like next week's game at OT will be a 6 pointer 😉

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

    "defcons are a myth"

    2 pointers from defcon to cover up Bruno pen miss and Andersen CS wipe out

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

    Imagine next week MUN-BUR 0-0

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

      Be good for the game to see the teams coming up challenging the big teams;)

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

      I can see it

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

    Am I the only one whom think Højlund might be better than sesko ?

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

      Haha based on 2 sub apps

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Sesko anonymous, the fact he got benched today tells you training looks exactly like this cameo has.

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

    It took 1.9 game weeks to start hating FPL again.

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

      I’m .9 of a game ahead of you

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

      Chill, have some fun, 36 weeks to go

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

        Im going to delete my team before GW 5 if this keeps up.

        1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
          • 1 Year
          10 months, 27 days ago

          You won’t

  22. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Why are Fulham delaying play as much as they can? Playing for 1-1, at home, to a United side that doesn't look good at all?

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

    Reminds me of Wimbledon of the 90’s

  24. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Šeško isn't a player I'll be rushing to get in. Mr.Invisible out there.

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

      Well, he's not exactly Gyökeres...

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

      One nice bit of skill near the touchline to play a through pass to Bruno. But that's all I've noticed. United's midfield can't control the game though, so it doesn't even progress to the last phase often.

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

    Man Utd finally learned how to score.

    ... (with help from Muniz)

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

      😎

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Bruno still more BPS than any other United attacker....

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 27 days ago

    Who is looking better Mbuemo or Cunha? Think I need one for Burnley

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

      cunha

    2. TafOnTour1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Cunha was looking better down the middle until Šeško came on. Him moving over to the left completely nullified him.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Bit Sesko should start regulary no?

        1. TafOnTour1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          10 months, 27 days ago

          Which makes Cunha a worse FPL option imho.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            10 months, 27 days ago

            Probably

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

      Cunha but no, you dont need them.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        Hmm maybe you are right

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 27 days ago

      Don’t do it to yourself mate!
      I’d rather be late to the Cuhna/Mbuemo party, than painfully early.
      At this point, I’m not even sure the party is even going ahead to be honest

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 27 days ago

        At some point surely it gels for them? But yeah, maybe wait

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

    It would be greatly appreciated if Opta could reassign one of Andersen's defcons and categorise it under Anderson

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

    Well, only took two games for bitter disappointment again. All the United optimism gone right out the window.

    Glass half full, at least they’re only 6 points off top

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

      *5

  30. Haalander

    Sunderland , burnley and Leeds flying high ahead in the league already looking down on United
