    So happy I've kept Mbuemo these past GWs, been so unfortunate not to haul couple of times, finally rewarded with a return.

    If only Salah had the work rate and fitness of James Milner just imagine

      If only Wayne Rooney had the work rate and fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo.

      Or at least dietary preferences.

      If only Joe Cole had been 3 inches taller we'd have won the WC

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Joe Cole was born in the wrong country.

    Would you rather the bonus points on LiveFPL count from kick-off or from the 60th minute?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Well actually - it's going to start counting from 45th minute or from when the first goal is scored. Just a heads-up...

    I had been planning towards getting Salah in a few weeks when fixtures are insane, just don't know now.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      For someone with that price tag you surely need to see some double digit hauls before it’s even worth considering. Not a single one so far this season.

      1. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Indeed a very strange season for him, so far!!

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Thought I'd get Isak, but meh

  5. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Come on Salah need one return

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      How about none and a RC? Will that be better? Would be for me at least.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Nah one return to hit the tonne please!

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Has he ever had a RC?

    2. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      He’s surely going to return from the halftime break.

  6. The Night Trunker.

    Do defenders get double Def Con if they hit 20?

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      No. Max of 2 points.

      1. The Night Trunker.
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Cheers!

  7. el polako

    Bradley and Kerkez are no Trent and Robertson.

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    I have VVD for some reason. Might bench him vs Brentford and play Guehi (ars) instead.

  9. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Even the non owners want a Solo Salah goa at this rate, just to shut the United supporters up

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      *goal

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Naa. I dont. And I am not a United supporter.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        You do, you just don’t know it yet

    3. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Would prefer Gakpo but yeah lol

  10. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Is Isak even fit? A couple of times now, Liverpool have broken with 3 or 4 players and he has been way behind them.

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    wow how unlucky can gakpo get

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      *and salah to some extent

  12. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Gakpost on fire!

  13. Crystal Alice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Gakpo woodwork hat trick

  14. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    That player post is really good 🙂

  15. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Salah assist as well would have

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Not sure if classed as BGC for BPS though?

  16. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Gakpo's love affair with the post continues

  17. The Night Trunker.
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Gakpost hat trick.

  18. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Xavi to Gakpo nobrainer?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Gakpo might not be nailed yet

      Sarr, Ndiaye, or wait for Enzo?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        I like Sarr the most of those, but planning to get Mateta as well and having both might be a bit overkill

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 1 day ago

          They've got quite the fixture run, tbf

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 1 day ago

          Enzo's my favourite target though. Pens, open play and fixtures

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            6 months, 1 day ago

            Yeah too bad he's injured

  19. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    After Liverpools record splurge this slump is the best that could happen. League is more fun than it’s been in years.

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Ay Ay. Come on Man U!

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Arsenal's next 3 fixtures are very favorable, a great chance to build a points gap to City and Liverpool before the harder fixtures start in November.

    Amad YC

  21. g40steve

    Salah lol

  22. Kabayan

    frustrated as gakpo owner

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Hear hear

  23. g40steve

    Isak selfish

  24. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Liverpool really missing Trent

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      Klop

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      The new fullbacks so poor. Both lack composure & don't seem to contribute much in transition.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Set pieces & dead balls & killer passes 😉

  25. Scapegoat Salah

    Jammy pen incoming :rolls eyes:

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      This time Bruno will score it

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Liverpool 100% getting one in 93rd minute

  26. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Casemiro YC

  27. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    Game reminding me of the 7-0, except shots are hitting the post instead of net lmao

  28. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 1 day ago

    Thoughts on this WC team? Dont think Sanchez is worth the extra and cant afford him anyways

    Roefs/Dubravka
    Gabriel Timber Muñoz Senesi 4.0
    Saka Sarr Ndiaye Semenyo 4.4
    Haaland Mateta Woltemade

    You could say its a weak bench but my first bench option is a proper rotating player like Senesi or Ndiaye

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      like it

  29. g40steve

    Why take Amad off wtaf?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      YC maybe

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 1 day ago

        Yes one of most attacking players

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

    Newcastle fans are laughing their heads off. Their Isak replacement keeps scoring whilst Isak can't hit a barn door!

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 1 day ago

      He can't hit the barn at the moment let alone the door
