    Very low intensity in the matches I've watched today... you know what football needs to fix that? Even more international breaks and/or meaningless matches.

    1. Zalk

      6 months, 23 days ago

      I wouldn't say WC qualifiers are meaningless...but I largely understand what you're saying.

  2. Goodfeathers

    Sounds like it’s been a pathetic showing from Villa thus far.

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Pathetic season from them so far. Hopefully forces Elliott into the XI sooner rather than later.

    Sunderland giving Palace a game

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      2 places higher in the table tbf

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years

    petrovic saves have been few and far between this season. probably a good sign though

    1. Moon Dog
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Bournemouth press is so good. Intense.

    2. g40steve

      Mitchell huge block

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years

        Mateta doing anything worthy?

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

          Hardly any service getting handled well by Sunderland

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

            Will open up 2nd half

            1. Sgt. Schultz
              • 9 Years
              6 months, 23 days ago

              really hope he returns.

    3. fedolefan

      Need to start getting them Villa jinxes in.

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

      Murphy with another decent effort outside the box

    5. putana
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      this has to be one of the lowest scoring starts to a season

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

      Murphy G
      Barnes A

      Offside

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

      promoted sides really mean business this season

    8. FPLShaqiri
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Woltemade is £7.0m. Am I missing something or is this really really cheap for Newcastle's starting striker? Is there anyone else competing for that position?

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Wissa

      2. Mr. O'Connell

        Wissa

      3. F4L
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        does feel like theyve underpriced him abit

      4. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Yes Wissa exists. One to keep an eye on then. As you were.

    9. Grand Thibauto

      No defcons for defcon monster lacroix today

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

      Iroegbunam YC - Villa FK in good position

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

        Poor FK from Digne, straight into the wall

    11. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Villa might not score this season

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

        its fine they'll be alright if they can keep 35 clean sheets 😉

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          35 points might not keep you up this season

    12. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Pino soft FK given away

    13. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Villa can't even get throw-ins right...been called out for 2 foul throws in the half

    14. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      i’m convinced some FPL content creators don’t actually watch football or understand the game.

      they overrate stats, data analysis or fixtures. without understanding how teams play or why they succeed/dont

      this is how they end up with some baffling picks and call themselves ‘unlucky’ according to the data

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        “Arsenal have tough fixtures” is the perfect example of this

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Data the worst thing to happen to football. The glory days of FPL using the Goals Imminent table in the members area. Take me back.

        1. windowview
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          I don't really know anything about the rest of your post, but I couldn't agree more with your first sentence.

      3. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Sounds like the average person playing fpl

      4. Naatie
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 23 days ago

        These now it all posts are so tiring

      5. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        You're just going to leave a blanket statement about some FPL content creators without taking names? Clueless folk driving engagement is everywhere in all walks of life. I could say given the refereeing standards in the PL, I'm convinced some referees don't understand the game too.

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

      Everton villa HT

    16. Moon Dog
        6 months, 23 days ago

        39 year old Milner has been sprinting all over the pitch 1st half and hasn't broken a sweat. Still looks quick too. Freakish genetics.

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          like Ashley Young. He isn't in the PL is he?

          1. Moon Dog
              6 months, 23 days ago

              Playing for Ipswich in the Championship.

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

          Palace really missing Sarr

          1. Hughes Your Daddy
            • 13 Years
            6 months, 23 days ago

            We also really missing Wharton's excellent passing as well.

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

              Those two really are the engine & trickery

        3. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          Another quality performance from Villa so far. 0.04xg. Im a patient man but still no returns from either of Rogers or Watkins is taking the p**

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

            elliot has to come on second half asap

          2. #1 Salah Hater
            • 1 Year
            6 months, 23 days ago

            They're playing decently against a stubborn Everton defence. Really lacking creativity from out-wide, though.

            Not surprising when you go from Ramsey & Rashford to Buendia & McGinn as your options on the wing.

          3. Hughes Your Daddy
            • 13 Years
            6 months, 23 days ago

            You must be very patient indeed.

            Very playing well, absolute nuisance to Dunk

          • 1 Year

          Some really, really boring football on display all-round today.

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

            At least Salah isn't playing

            1. #1 Salah Hater
              • 1 Year
              6 months, 23 days ago

              He'll get his penalty tomorrow, don't worry.

          2. Moon Dog
              6 months, 23 days ago

              Bournemouth v Brighton has been fun. Feels like more goals are likely 2nd half.

              1. #1 Salah Hater
                • 1 Year
                6 months, 23 days ago

                Brighton have had entertaining games this season, regardless of results. Really good manager, really poor players.

              Playing 3 at the back mainly, don't mind benching headaches

              Petrovic Dubravka
              RAN* Cucurella Porro Muñoz Gudmundsson

              Obviously wouldn't need to rush, but would like to avoid price drop on RAN (tonight)

                Gabriel and bench?

                you’re missing a consistent defcon player - burn, tark, senesi, lacroix are all options

              • 7 Years

              Villa need pace on the wings and a bit more urgency when in possession

              6 months, 23 days ago

              The satisfaction I’ll get from selling Watkins will be worth more than any points he gets against Sunderland.

                • 11 Years
                6 months, 23 days ago

                  Sunderland are pretty good

                    • 1 Year
                    6 months, 23 days ago

                    By that measurement Burnley must be pretty good too, since they beat them 2-0.

                    1. chocolove
                      • 15 Years
                      6 months, 23 days ago

                      Gw 2 is 3 weeks ago.
                      A lot happened, and Sunderland already bought good players

                  this is the fixtures fallacy. what evidence is there that watkins will have the supply to score against a stubborn sunderland side that have made some decent defensive and midfield signings?
