    1. JBG
      • 7 Years

      Poor goalkeeping tbh

  6. Punned It
    • 1 Year

    I've got 6-9-9-7 points and Milenkovic at the back, and f all from the attackers. I'm playing 5-3-2 from now on.

      *muniz/king start

  8. Free Hat

    The most noticable thing about Barry is his teeth so far.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 25 days ago

      Think him and Katie Price went to the same place in Turkey

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Lol

  9. Moon Dog
      7 months, 25 days ago

      Nice corner from KDH. Barry should have scored.

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 25 days ago

      Nuno not looking enthused

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        He’s done and it’s a shame

      2. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        I’ve a feeling nuno will be gone before the window even closes. Big Ange with Greek ties could be a shoe in

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          It's all kind of crazy

          1. Haalander
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            7 months, 25 days ago

            And there seems to noises around West Ham discontent too I think I’ll be binning Bowen this week

    • RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 25 days ago

      And there’s both my palace and Forest defender cleanies gone and no Rutter, what an excellent day

    • TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 25 days ago

      Nice De Cuyper -1

      1. keefy59

        7 months, 25 days ago

        Benched by me
        To avoid conflict with KDH .

    • Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 25 days ago

      Is this team worthy of WC? I have 2FT, thinking I could take a -4 possibly -8 to get back on track. What would you do?

      * indicates at risk

      Sanchez Dub
      Porro Williams Diouf* Konsa* Esteve
      Salah Wirtz* Palmer* Rogers* Reinjers
      Watkins* Bowen* Guiu

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Two weeks is too early to make a call. I’ve Watkins and Bowen also and Diouf and palmer. I’m only tempted to move on palmer and Bowen and possibly down to how long palmer out and discontent in West Ham. Rest I’m keeping for now. Villa will come good

    • mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 months, 25 days ago

      Happy for Grealish here. Have no Everton but was excited to see him involved. He’ll definitely be pushing for an England spot

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        He has the motivation now to do well and earn his place could be a good pick in fpl

      2. Moon Dog
          7 months, 25 days ago

          He should have gone to the Euros. Foden was so bad.

      3. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        It's unbearable to watch that Palace game with the constant drumming. Like vuvuzelas all over again...

      4. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Fulham XI: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne; Berge, Lukic; Sessegnon, King, Iwobi; Muniz.

        Man Utd XI: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mount, Cunha; Mbeumo.

      5. Budweiser
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Palmer or Rutter to Grealish?

        1. Haalander
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Wait and see but either ways I think I’m going to let palmer go he’s been carrying a groin injury into the season apparently

      6. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        wood big chance missed

        1. Coupes
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Was offside

      7. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Who are the picks of the 4.5m defenders? I’m currently on Dorgu, Guehi and De Cuyper.

        Any of those replaceable? I’m on a WC. One of them will be on the bench

        Cheers!

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          De Cuyper on this evidence!

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          maybe a Bou CB, they seem good for DCs, vdv still up there.

          not sure about de cuyper atm

      8. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Mount leading the Man U line, no.9?

        1. Khalico
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          I’d assume that’ll be Cunha

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 months, 25 days ago

            Yeah

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          interchange with cunha

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 months, 25 days ago

            Probably

        3. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Maybe it's Cunha?

          If he scores he'll be a popular pick for Gw3.

      9. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Man Utd team news - Sesko, Onana on bench

        Man Utd: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Mount, Cunha.

        Subs: Onana, Dalot, Fredricson, Heaven, Maguire, Ugarte, Sesko, Zirkzee.

      10. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Come on Mateta and Devenny!!

      11. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Man Utd without the goalkeeper again.

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Neither would be the "right pick".

      12. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Fulham team news - Muniz starts, Jimenez dropped

        Fulham: Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne, Berge, Lukic, Sessegnon, King, Iwobi, Muniz.

        Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Robinson, Reed, Cairney, Wilson, Adama, Smith Rowe, Jimenez

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Fullkrug > Muniz for me

      13. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 25 days ago

        Murillo has been awful for DC points so far.

        1. Moon Dog
            7 months, 25 days ago

            Yep. And literally nothing has changed from their defence from last year. FPL being FPL... 🙁

        2. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 25 days ago

          Foden should have joined grealish in everton. With a strong defence, they could be top 5 contenders.

        3. Moon Dog
            7 months, 25 days ago

            Barry, Ndiaye off for Beto, Alcaraz btw

          • Hughes Your Daddy

            • 5 Years
            7 months, 25 days ago

            Not watching, did Sels really get a YC for time wasting while 1-0 behind ?

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              7 months, 25 days ago
