    Own both Salah and Haaland..... don't mind all this

      Even owning both you’re not cheering them both on in equal measure. You are always hoping the non captained one doesn’t do too well.

        Not when they’re below 100 EO

  4. Count of Monte Hristo

    7 months, 2 days ago

    Is Doku worth considering or his consistency is non existent?

    Wish Isak was nailed on. Would’ve been a better option than Salah

    Watkins to Haaland for -4?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      I might do this

    2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Would

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Did anyone else manage to fit Salah, Haaland, Palmer and Gyokoeres into their WC?

    Anderson and Caicedo the enablers! Defcons for days as well

      "Defcons for days"

      Congratulations. You've done it. The game is finally, well and truly gone.

      1. Scapegoat Salah

    No surprise but United no where near City's level even though City aren't that impressive of a side atm

    as ever, Haaland better on stats and performance, Salah with the luckier points

    Haaland was the right (c) choice

      • 10 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Back of the net

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

        Still a bit salty as Salah non owner for that “lucky” goal.

        But happy with Haaland captain.

    2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year

  22. chocolove

  23. Hughes Your Daddy

  24. SINGH

    7 months, 2 days ago

    No way captaining Haaland next week against the meanest defence in European football

  25. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Marc Guiu to Haaland?

    1. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Recipe for disaster

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

  26. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Sorry for my ignorance of the rules. You can't be off side in your own half, is that correct?

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

      Yes

      Nor from a throw in

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Thanks

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Or from an offensive corner

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Correct

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Thanks mate

  27. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    GET IN THERE!

    Hat-trick incoming. Who needs jammy Salah pens when you have this monster.

  28. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    My (c) outscores Salah for a 4th successive GW 🙂

  29. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Looking like first blood to Haaland in those Haaland vs Isak vs Sesko debates

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      These were serious debates?

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Sesko won’t do much at all in this dead United team unfortunately. I only see Mbeumo who has a bit about him.

    3. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      There's no sesko in any debate.

  30. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Haaland will get his hatty
