          Not sure you can take tomorrows performance against Arsenal as a pointer

  5. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Today is the day for Caicedo to rack up 50 defcons

  6. F4L

  7. Dragon Arcana
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Just turned it on. Palmer injured?

    1. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      probably

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      will find out. but he looked too pissed off being subbed to think it was forced

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Yes

  8. Geriatric Unathletic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    FFS. Brought in Palmer for a hit and (c). Only one in money league with too........... I hate this game :(.

  9. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years

    2 returns out of 8 players 🙁

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Bench Boost?

    2. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      That's probably 2x more returns than most people.

      STOP BRAGGING!

  10. Haa-lala-land

    Due to receiving the red card, does Sanchez get -1 point for every single goal Chelsea concede without him now? Or -1 still every two goals?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      The latter

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 17 hours ago

        -1 after a 2nd goal. You get punished like you are still there.

        Sanchez owners not happy.

    My team is utterly sickening me...might just have to wildcard it away tonight
    Wirtz, Palmer, Watkins, 2 Forest at the back, Reijnders, De Cuyper, Guiu...all making me ill every week

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Easy WC

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      i’d keep Reijnders

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      De Cuyper alone is worth the WC

  12. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Just tuned in, palmer injured again?

    1. Dragon Arcana
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Yes very

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 17 hours ago

        Cheers

    2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Maybe he slipped after he got subbed off tactically.

      1. Dragon Arcana
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 17 hours ago

        Heard this too

      2. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 17 hours ago

        Few w/c decisions no doubt
        Cheers

  13. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Rank these enabler midfielders:

    A. Anthony
    B. Caicedo
    C. Reijnders
    D. Cullen
    E. Garner
    F. Other?

    Still very much a watch-and-observe situation for both, but which premium are you leaning towards owning atm?

    1. Isak
    2. Palmer

    Curious where everyone else is at with these 2 decisions.

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      c
      ...
      ...
      the rest imo
      2

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      C B
      2 if not injured!

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Not a good day to be a top team in blue

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years

  18. FPL_Devil
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    The diving in this sport is horrible.

  19. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Just turned on...

    Is Palmer injured?

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Yes. Lot of people just turning on and asking the same question.

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 17 hours ago

        I know... 😉

  20. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Casemiro goal

  21. Tomerick
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    A true Amorim masterclass. People don’t understand his brilliance but forcing Sanchez to commit that foul has really turned the game.

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    casemiro g

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    JP captain fail. Why always me?

  24. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Casemiro points at least

  25. nonaynever

  26. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Mbeumo assist?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      shaw or maguire sadly

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Shaw it seems

  27. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Palmer warming up to come back on

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      That will be all subs used by 40 minutes

    2. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      I think he just hadn’t finished warming up before he went off.

  28. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Obviously should call starting Sanchez over Dubravka as a mistake on my side?

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Starting Sels over Dubravka appears to have been a mistake on mine, even.

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 hours ago

      Surely you can find someone else to blame

  29. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 17 hours ago

    Is Pedro still on the pitch?

    Chelsea are the only Sky 6 club to not win at Old Trafford since Fergie retired btw
