    Double Chelsea defence and no Arsenal is going to absolutely shaft me later in isn’t it 😆

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Wissa to?

    A) Evanilson
    B) Mateta
    C) Woltemade

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      c if he scores vs barca and wissa is ruled out for a while

  3. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    0 Forward Returns since the start of this miserable Season. Plz tell me I'm not alone!

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    32 points from Raya, Timber, Muñoz and Semenyo. Off to a great start in GW4.

    Frustrated by Johnson being benched. Would you sell for Xavi/Kudus or look elsewhere?

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Nice, congrats! You were close to attacking returns for Timber too.

      Avoided him out of fear of Ben White around tough European games...

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Thanks, yeah I know White can threaten his minutes but I see Arteta preferring Timber when fit.

        Just remembered Gudmundsson is my 3rd sub expecting to see a 6 pointer out of reach only to see they lost and him scoring the OG 😆

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Ask that question after the West Ham v Spurs game

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Yeah will be watching the game and have more information then, cheers.

    3. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I would hang fire on Johnson and let the full week play out. Might be someone else you want, or a bigger fire to put out.

      Xavi could just score a hatty and you move tonight 😆

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        No priorities right now but yes better not to rush into that move. Unless Xavi does score that hatty 😆

  5. Vazza
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Bought Gudmundsson in as part of my WC. Pleasing to see him score an OG from the bench to wipe out cleansheets for those who started Leeds defenders in their first XI.

    1. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      lol

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Cracking header as well. Totally blind-sided the keeper. Impressive he managed to score, even.

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    there arent enough good options in the 8-10 range this season. miss Son and KDB

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 8 days ago

      May feel differently after Mbeumo's brace tomorrow 😛

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        hope so 😀 need it so badly! got the triple united already in mid, at this point want to sell watkins but no clue who to get.

  7. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Mad at myself for not going Semenyo on a Wildcard, I guess Salah + Mateta to Haaland + Semenyo makes more sense now in GW6.

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Semenyo scored a pen, which wouldn’t have been the case if Kluivert had started.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        The game could have been postponed because of rain and snow too.....

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        barely saw anyone mention he was on pens as well, was worth 8 points.

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Kluivert needs to earn his spot back tbh. There are other players performing pretty well.

        1. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          With the form that Bou are in, I certainly agree.. hopefully by GW6 Semenyo is still affordable.

      4. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Right, but Kluivert struggling to get onto the pitch being a very obvious counter

  8. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Just considered wildcard but couldn't put together a team I was excited about.

    1. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      This is it. I need to wildcard, but I look at a potential wc team and it's just meh. The fixture runs just aren't there and the big attacks aren't known yet.

  9. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    B.Johnson > ?
    Aina > ?

  10. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    What's up with Stach from Leeds? Did 13 defcon in gw1 and has fallen off in defcon since, has his position changed from Gw1?

  11. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Scout picks forward line smashing it

  12. Jack Frost
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Gudmundsson in for Murillo made a lot of sense until two minutes to go... zero points to three points. Funny game this FPL. I mean no clean sheet and an own goal in one second, and seeing Murillo got banged up in thirty minutes and left game... so Gud was "genius" move. until it wasn't.

  13. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Watkins and Rogers owners, there are still 34 gw to play

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Frig that, I’m done with W after today.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Rub it in, why don't you champ

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      34 blanks to go!

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        And price drops ... they are going to be cheap and good values though 😆

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      fk it, if watkins scores against brentford midweek he can stay. just ride or die at this point

    5. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I kept them for the first 3 weeks & mercifully ditched on WC. Just watched us (Sunderland) claim a deserved point at Palace and not sure that fixture is an easy one for them either.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Which is why an earlier post said 'no easy fixtures for Villa".

        Keeping Watkins is just stubborn.

  14. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Me going into added time of the day matches: “I knew I should have stuck to my guns and played to the fixtures. Arsenal away is a worse opponent than Fulham. Should have swapped Milenkovic for Gudmundss…oh.”

  15. JBG
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    So 5 goals in total during 3PM matches... hopefully we see 5 goals from Spurs alone(all Kudus and VDV).

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      5 goals from WHU possible? 😛

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      romero 5 assists and its a deal 🙂

    3. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Kudus hatty and Porro assisting all 3 will do me lovely... I'm not a greedy man.

  16. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    tarkowski down to 8 grrr

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I'll swap you Senesi!

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Honestly a defense of Tarkowski Senesi Lacroix and two 4.0s for 38 GWs might not be a bad way to play this game.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Andersen Senesi Lacroix ... cheap and crips

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 7 days ago

          Andersen, Guehi, Senesi today. Gudmundsson, Van de Ven benched.

  17. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Josh King is a super player and only gonna get better. But he's fodder so don't start him yet, regardless of opposition.

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Would you BB this next GW?

    Sanchez
    Livra VVD Guehi
    Kudus Mo Gakpo Semenyo
    Richarlison Pedro Mateta

    Bench: Dubravka(NFO) Enzo(mun) VDV(bha) Senesi(NEW)

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I would.

  19. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Watkins to Isak done, what a complete effing let down.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Isak?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 7 days ago

        Might be a few weeks before he gets regular starts so hold off for now.

  20. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Anyone know how Elliott did when he came on?
    I got him on bench on wc.. will be bench boosting next week.

    1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 7 days ago

      Played central and Rogers moved out left. Didn't do much, but then again neither did the other 21 players on the pitch.

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 7 days ago

        Ta
        Hopefully he’s the difference maker for them

  21. TiAgoFPL
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 7 days ago

    Of course I've sold PMS on the wc
