    Haaland sticking to the storyline and scoring as usual while also undertaking a side quest and mining for CBI 😎

  8. Mr. O'Connell

    Haaland should get defcon points for clearance

    1. Pedersen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Haaland should get 12 defcon for that goal save

      Harsh but funny

        1 year, 1 month ago

        Why is he keep playing Bruno as a no 6holding mid-fielder - give that to Kobbie
        with legs.

        Switch system 4-2-3-1 play three midfields when all fit (Cunha / Bruno Fernandes / Mbeumbo) with Sesko up front - ?

        If he will not adapt time for the manager to go

  11. FantasyTony

    Bruno not even in the DEFCON mix

  18. fedolefan

    So Rudolph probably needs to go soon-ish.

  19. Salahbrate
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Richarlison nailed?

    1. Pedersen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No. But he would probably play a lot of 70minuts games

  20. MJF
    1 year, 1 month ago

    FPL experts: Haaland a good pick.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Also FPL experts: Don’t buy Haaland, just free hit him in for GW6.

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Haaland right captain choice. Unfortunate outcome tho.

        1 year, 1 month ago

          1 year, 1 month ago

          Reijnders has double point ceiling though

    2. Bluetiger1
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep. That would have been a goal with Trafford in the net. Or anyone really.

  27. FPL Blow-In

    Some save that. Utd should have played Lemmens

    1. FantasyTony
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They're already starting 11 lemons

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Lol

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      1 year, 1 month ago

      As opposed to the Lemon they currently have between the sticks,

    3. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Instead of lemons

  28. Count of Monte Hristo
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Beautiful strike from Bryan, incredible save from Gianluigi, that why they bought him.

  29. FPL Scoop

  30. SINGH
