    Everton - Villa FT

    0-0

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Replace Everton with Sunderland and you already have your scoreline for next week.

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

    Anderson 3 bonus points + CS + DC!!!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Yeah that’s gold

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

      4.5m DEF....lovely stuff

  3. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    GW4 and I’ve got a grand total of 4 DEFCON points

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Same

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Balanced out by not owning Villa apart from Bizot in GW1 for his CS

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Same. Still have Tosin and Porro for this week but it's terrible points dodging.

  4. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Second time I get Gudmundson from the bench. First time it was for -1
    You can’t makes this s…t up. I have so much rotten luck this year.

    1. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Stayed on the bench for the hauls of course

  5. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Andersen with a 10 pointer

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Tark with a 9 pointer

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

    lacroix just missing out on 2 bonus by 1 bps seems cruel 😥

  7. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Get in Munoz and Henderson

    6 returns of 8 till now on FH

    Munoz, Henderson, Gyokeres, Gabriel, Calafiori and Semenyo coming up clutch 😀

    Mateta and Barnes blanks 🙁

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Keep us updated bro

  8. Strike me a Gakpose
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Was so close to doing Palmer + Wood -> Semen + Gyko. What a swing

  9. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Without Roefs my mediocre start would be rubbish, what a legend!

  10. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Muñoz over Lacroix was a stinker

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Why? 1pts difference and surely better long term

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        4 points

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Ignore me

          1. Pedersen
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            🙂

      2. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        I thought Lacroix had 3 baps for some reason

  11. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    The PL sure looks way more defensive this year, compact defenses all around

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      It had become a boring sport with analysis, numbers, strategy, tactics taking over pure skill, adventure, and beauty.

    2. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Not sure if it's good defending or poor attacking? Teams look so tentative from the minute the whistle blows, more afraid to concede than hungry to score.

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

      teams just arent attacking

  12. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Might be time to start 4 or 5 at the back regularly. Defcons and clean sheets all over the place

  13. SM001
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    It's Wildcard time.

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Sunderland steal all the baps 🙁

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

    starting guiu over reinildo a mistake as well. ugh, bad start to the gw

  16. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Is Sunderland defense this years NFO?

  17. Skout
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Lacroix suddenly down from 3 bonus to 0..

  18. Moon Dog
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Great start to the WC. 5/5 returned so far. All brought in this week 🙂

      Raya 6
      Lacroix 6
      Anderson 11
      Semenyo 13
      Gyokores 6

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Nice lineup. My GW3 wildcard was average to start, but now I’ve got Gabriel and Tarkowski returning.

        1. Moon Dog
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Very nice. Tark is going to be even more of a beast when Branthwaite is back. May bring him in at that point.

            Anderson down to 10pts now but still amazing. Who needs Virgil with these cheap defcon monsters!

      2. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Rodon 9 defcon. Arghh

        1. Bored Ape Jota Club
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          That late goal as well... 🙁

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

        Simmons does well tonight He’s straight in for elanga

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          I was very tempted by him over Kudus on WC

      4. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Benched Reinildo and Konsa

        Started Gudmundsson ughh

      5. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        49 points on FH with Salah (c) + Ekitike + Wirtz to go

        Pretty chuffed 😀

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Wirtz in FH? Hope he isn’t benched

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            No chance

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Same here. 43 with Salah c, Gakpo, Vicario, Axa I and Pedro to go

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            *Xavi

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

          Don't you have a WhatsApp group you can post in every 5 minutes champ?

      6. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Anyone else taken a punt on Xavi?

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

        2 point blank for the most transferred in player this GW...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Confirms we’re all last week’s point chasing sheeps

      8. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        FH full house at the back

        Pope
        Calafiori Timber Munoz Livra

        1. MIGHTY JOE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Glorious

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Beautiful

      9. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Andersen, Pope, 3x CP def, Gyokores & Woltemade. Dreamland!

      10. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Reminder that you could have gone Wirtz to Semenyo in GW2 when Semenyo cost 1.5 less.

      11. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Aston Villa the only club in the 92 yet to score a league goal this season...

        All that pre-season talk as well.

      12. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Oh how I wished I had started the season with Gyokores (or anyone...) over Wally Otkins

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          I could say the same about Mateta.

          Keeping him on WC and Grealish dodging points has been frustrating today

        2. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          I did, but also started with Roger’s and Fulkrug and a bunch of other duds. So I used the WC in GW3.

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

        Watkins - fixtures vs form.

        I think I'm done. Isak incoming.

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

          You could argue the fixtures aren't in Villa's favour at the moment

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

            Imagine dropping a forward before Sunderland, Fulham, Burnley... But it's beyond repair.

            1. Feanor
              • 16 Years
              7 months, 2 days ago

              Sundrrland and Fulham have good defences.

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

          Annoyingly stays in my team one week more, but straight out for Haaland after that.

          Could even bench him next week for: Pedro, Reijnders, Esteve, lol.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Price drops sickening
