      Absolutely zero reason to put this on at 8pm - as if there was any doubt broadcasters do not give a shiny sh... about matchgoers

        Pedro deffo gonna outscore mateta this game week with everyone transferring the latter in for the former. That’s how FPL works.

        Hi all, play one from these options:

        A)reijnders (Bou home)
        B)Xhaka (Everton home)

        1. 1zverGGadeM
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 20 days ago

          Xhaka

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 20 days ago

        I think Bruno + Mbeumo will become template soon. Lets go double owners!

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          5 months, 20 days ago

          I am going triple up, mbeumo, cunha, bruno and triple arsenal defence.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            5 months, 20 days ago

            Im considering when I have to sell Ekitike when Isak is back!

        2. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 months, 20 days ago

          a 9m midfielder that hardly ever scores from open play will never be template. he might get a goal and some people will bring him in but for that price there will always be another better route to points

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            5 months, 20 days ago

            As people have pointed out numerous times, he would be the second scoring midfielder in the game if he had scored his 2 penalties. Random penalty variance in his disfavor at the start of this season is the only reason hes not seen as essential.

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 6 Years
              5 months, 20 days ago

              works both ways. his only open play goal (and the bonus from them) came against 10 men which u hardly come up against. Also he wont get a penalty like the one he got vs fulham all season

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                5 months, 20 days ago

                its not like hes overpeforming his non penalty xG either so not sure what the point is

                1. Nightcrawler
                  • 6 Years
                  5 months, 20 days ago

                  9m player relying on penalties and defcons doesnt become template

                  1. Brosstan
                    • 11 Years
                    5 months, 20 days ago

                    You were saying he should have gotten fewer open play goals which is statistically false.

            2. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              5 months, 20 days ago

              lol, if he did blah blah blah.

              1. el polako
                • 8 Years
                5 months, 20 days ago

                If Gyokeres was Woltemade he would scoring goals for Arsenal.

                1. fedolefan
                  • 11 Years
                  5 months, 20 days ago

                  If Pedro didn't return in those 3 games, he would have blanked in every game this season.

                    Wheels surely? If she had wings, she'd be an aeroplane.

                • 11 Years
                5 months, 20 days ago

                Tired argument. xG stats are literally all "should have" but for some reason people ignore it with Bruno because it fits their agenda of not owning him

                1. fedolefan
                  • 11 Years
                  5 months, 20 days ago

                  I have had Mateta all season. I missed your posts all these past weeks saying if he scored this or that he'd be the second highest scoring forward. Or does that only apply to Bruno?

                  Bruno is expensive and folks have a right to say his open goal threat is low. The response to those posts are typically what you said, oh had he scored his penalties blah blah. Mate, tons of players miss chances, very high xG chances. There's no reason to get too sensitive if someone says he's crap.

            3. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              5 months, 20 days ago

              Getting 3 penalties in 4 games is not sustainable anyway, so that's also a moot point

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 20 days ago

        Newcastle have scored 1 goal in 5 away league games this season? A bit concerning considering next 2 are away, what do people think. Woltemade or Thiago?

        1. 1zverGGadeM
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 20 days ago

          Thiago was my choice

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 20 days ago

          Thiago. But I like Wolte's chances this GW against aerially challenged Hammers

        3. MJF
            5 months, 20 days ago

            Yeah they've gone ultra cautious away from home. I still think I favour Woltemade this week, by a little, purely because West Ham are a complete shambles.

            I feel this GW is as good as it gets in terms of not capping Haaland. But I don't know if I have it in me.

            1. MJF
                5 months, 20 days ago

                What makes you say that? Last three home games v Bournemouth, City have won 3-1, 6-1, 4-0.

                I know Bournemouth are playing well, but they did concede four at Anfield a couple of months back.
