    To all the people that have started King, a big haul is coming tonight!

      Hope so. Last piece of my Bench Boost with Dubravka, Esteve, and Diouf. It’s probably the best I’ve done on BB.

    Phew….

    Sold Mbeumo to get Salah (c)

    Was so close to getting Palmer and captaining as well

      Bad process, Palmer was probably best captain option

    Maguire leading the baps, but is now off. Good for Bruno.

    Mbeumo off 🙁

    CHE don’t look like they’re likely to score.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      0 shots on target. Offered nothing.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Could you call Josh King crap for me please?

  6. TafOnTour1

    To think this time last night I had Dub in for Sanchez and took out Ekiteke for JP. Love this game. I was in the top 200,000 last night. Top 2M this GW would be a blessing.

  12. NoOneCares
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Msn U really are utter garbage.

  13. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Palmer got injured or tactical?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Tactical from what I’ve read online

    2. Gubby-Allen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Injured grpin

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should have kept Maguire on 😛

  15. Thanos
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Would be amazing to hear Amorim after United blows off this lead

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Or we will never hear from him anymore ...

      1. Thanos
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Oh we definitely will. And he’ll continue to say that I’ll stick to my formation

  16. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Yoro still too raw. Completely missed that header. Maguire surely 1st choice from now on.

  17. Paul Psychic Octopus
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Why does this bloke always use one of his subs to swap a central defender?! Totally bizarre. Maguire would have cleared that.

  18. Kaneyonero
    1 year, 1 month ago

    C'mon JP next please

  19. Gubby-Allen
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Any possibility of a Rodon DefCon point for that Chelsea goal?

    Im not up with the exact rules yet

    1. HadiSLIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      huh? Rodon??

  20. fgdu
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Why does Sanchez keep the second goal conceded when not on the pitch???

    1. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He was sent off, not subbed off...

      1. Tonyawesome69
        1 year, 1 month ago

        If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

    2. Sun God Nika
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Cause red card means you still contribute to any goals
      Conceded after

    3. Gubby-Allen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They are the rules. I suppose prevents a GL or defender getting a red card, team lose 8-0 and you be better off having them sent off than playing.

    4. NoOneCares

      11 years.

  25. iFash@FPL
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Still time for an Enzo goal.
    Common!!

  26. bso

    Anyone know why Xavi Simon’s only played 28 mins?
    Thanks

    1. HadiSLIM
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      Yes, he came on in the 62nd minute

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

    It's good to see Reece James fully fit. Amazing player. Really hope he makes the World Cup.

    1. iFash@FPL
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Lovely guy, with an even lovelier sister. 🙂

  28. Albrightondknight

    Brutal week but at least Caicedo remains the best value pick in the game.

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

    James deliveries are lethal

  30. Brosstan
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bloody Pedro can't score in 96 minutes against Man United...
