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

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        Cue a brace and 2 assists

    2. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Was even considering the Mbeumo cunha double up, not now

    3. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

    4. Unknown1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Ugarte stealing a living

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

  6. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 23 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 !

    Are Calafiori and Timber nailed?

    1. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Not when UCL arrives

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        Yeah, that's there.

      2. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 23 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
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Anyone got links to some CC teams?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Trying to make yourself feel better? 😉

  10. Moon Dog
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 23 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

    • g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Show ratty the card you know he wants it 😎

    • thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      Neither

      1. Moon Dog
          7 months, 23 days ago

          Yup

        • The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 22 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

      2. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

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

      3. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 23 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
          7 months, 23 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
          7 months, 22 days ago

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

      4. Teddy10
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        So Mbeumo assist stands?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          It won’t

        2. g40steve

          Gone, refresh

      6. Thanos

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

      7. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        "defcons are a myth"

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

      8. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Imagine next week MUN-BUR 0-0

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

        2. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          I can see it

      9. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

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

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          Haha based on 2 sub apps

        2. Ady87
          • 12 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

      10. Brosstan

        It took 1.9 game weeks to start hating FPL again.

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          I’m .9 of a game ahead of you

        2. g40steve

          Chill, have some fun, 36 weeks to go

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

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

      11. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 23 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?

      12. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        Reminds me of Wimbledon of the 90’s

      13. TafOnTour1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        7 months, 23 days ago

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

        1. Zalk
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          Well, he's not exactly Gyökeres...

        2. Moon Dog
            7 months, 22 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.

        3. SalahFingers
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          Man Utd finally learned how to score.

          ... (with help from Muniz)

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

            😎

        4. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

        5. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

            cunha

          2. TafOnTour1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 1 Year
            7 months, 23 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
              7 months, 22 days ago

              Bit Sesko should start regulary no?

              1. TafOnTour1
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 1 Year
                7 months, 22 days ago

                Which makes Cunha a worse FPL option imho.

                1. Royal5
                  • 14 Years
                  7 months, 22 days ago

                  Probably

          3. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

            Cunha but no, you dont need them.

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              7 months, 22 days ago

              Hmm maybe you are right

          4. thegaffer82
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 22 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
              7 months, 22 days ago

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

        6. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

        7. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 23 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

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