  7. MJF
    1 year, 1 day ago

    It seemed clear before the GW Palmer was probably not 100% fit, I think that confirms it.

  10. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Surely to do with his groin?

    Not even Maresca is THAT mad!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      as a precaution maybe, maresca written off this match so why risk it

    2. No because Palmer himself looked shocked and shaking his head

  11. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Why on earth you take all 3 attackers off?

  12. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    What an absolute shambles of a first 10 minutes. Thanks very much Sanchez.

    Was slowly getting back in the food graces of fans but he's blown it again.

    New keeper next season please

    Doing punditry for DAZN at the club world cup, Obi Mikel said Sanchez is the biggest liability in Chelsea’s starting eleven. Defensively Maresca is well aware Chelsea are incomplete.

      Spending over a billion in a year and still having holes in your first XI is actually insane

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        Almost 2 billion

    Sold Bruno, captained Palmer.

    Genius.

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Palmer cap, own Cucu and Cunha, I don't think it could possibly be going worse

  22. Capocannonieri

    Bruno is worst thing about EPL. All his goals are seedy and junky. He's a weasel that plays for a weasel team. Shaved Rat.

    Glad College Football starting in a few minutes.

      I also dislike when a player I own scores Fantasy Points but this is quite weird mate

    5. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      And here was I thinking it was “fans” like you that were the worst thing…

    6. Moon Dog

      Live these sort of biases. They give me an edge 😎

        1. NoOneCares
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 1 day ago

          Owning Bruno gives you an edge? LOL

    7. WiredWeasel

      Oi! That traduces the good name of Weasel!

    8. Gubby-Allen

      College football?

      I would have thought that students are only just waking up now.

  23. More Tragic
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Doubt if Sanchez gets his place back for a while

    1. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Certainly not next game

  24. Tomerick
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Gotta protect that 1-0 loss

  25. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Actually had an idea to accommodate Palmer in a way to bring in three Chelsea players (JP, Caicedo, Palmer). Luckily saved my transfers in the end, this gameweek was always gonna be chaotic.

  26. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years

    Palmer injured or tactical ?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Injured

      1. NoOneCares
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 1 day ago

        You don't know that so stop posting nonsense.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 day ago

          Injured IMO

        2. Capocannonieri
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 1 day ago

          We don't know, but I am super glad that I did not trade him in this week. Nothing for me to worry about.

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Maresca's team needs to just go home at Halftime. They have no intention of earning their wages today.

  27. THE Wild Rover

    Face plant

  28. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Palmer(c) went well then...

  29. Royal5
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Mazraoui looks like he’s been donating hair to Salah

  30. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Played Vicario, Munoz, double Arsenal defence, Gakpo and Woltemade

    Benched Petrovic, Elliot, Senesi and De Ligt

    1. NoOneCares
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Great, thanks for the insight. Looking forward to part 2.

      1. Moon Dog

        Bad day?

      Were you close to bench boosting?
