    How is Minteh on 2 assists? First goal was assisted by Wieffer, last one by Georginio. Minteh only assisted one

      Brought him in this week as fodder switching to 352. Sold Woltemade aswell part of that deal though which I’m concerned about. All to get Mbuemo!

      1. FPL Blow-In

        Well, and Mateta

      Even if anyone has him they benched him
      So if he got a hattie they would be too
      Just no upside in life

      United were good. The rest of the league, not so much 🙂

  7. SomeoneKnows

    Who should make way for a 2nd Arsenal defender? and who should I replace him with?

    A) Gyokeres
    B) Saka

  8. Tonyawesome69

    Arteta: "Gyokeres was feeling a little of niggle, muscular. Zubi asked to be subbed, so we have to wait."

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Had enough, mbeumo and cunha to rice/sessegnon and Minteh?

    Also got bruno but he seems to be ok but not against losing him

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      You had enough of the trio after 1 GW with them?

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Mbeumo, Cunha and Bruno. Why Bemba why?

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        I would keep Mbeumo and Bruno long term. Cunha > Rice/ Minteh not the worst idea.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Bruno is basically getting pts every game. Mbuemo was on form and Cunha was my differential

        Time to revert and correct this now

        1. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Nothing really to justify triple manu attack. Bruno isnt really getting many pts. Other 2 too inconsistent

    3. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      True yanited fan

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    If Pedro registers a shot on goal tonight should I keep him for (h) to Wolves?

    Wolves are shipping goals for fun even Joao could return.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      I mean you gotta keep him for Wolves. Fwiw, I don't think he'll have a shot on goal tonight, but I'm about 30% confident he could have one against Wolves.

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years

      You are easy to please
      Just a shot to make you happy 😉

    46 from 5 and 10 baps,quite a good afternoon that

  12. Bonus magnet

    5 months, 22 days ago

    Jammy Minteh assists have saved my sartuday afternoon

    It’s been a horror show

  13. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    5 months, 22 days ago

    So exactly when are the Pedro sellers expecting him to score ?

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      After todays red card

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      To score, you have to shoot.

  14. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Bergvall has to come off for concussion

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      He is coming off, Simons on

  15. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Bergvall owners in the mudd.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Both of them.

  16. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    When will we learn. 2 weeks ago Enzo was essential. This past week it was Sarr and Mbeumo. It's so hard to avoid the hype-train in FPL man. Better to do your own thing, take some risks, and have fun.

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Haven't had fun since the late nineties

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      The only players consistently getting “last weeks points” are Arsenal defenders.

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        I keep telling myself Cala will get some returns, but no, it's only Gabriel 🙁

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Been unlucky with marginal offside.
          He’ll come good.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      I think all 3 you mentioned are decent long term options. It’s not realistic to think they are gonna score every week.
      Just hold tight and the points will come

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        I don't disagree. I'm simply bemoaning the 'pressure' one feels to have to have certain players, when in actual fact, you don't.

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Will take this slightly dubious Minteh points! Mbeumo blank is disappointing, here’s hoping Kudus (sold) doesn’t make it worse.

    Gabriel is immense, might have to figure out a way to get Rice - Raya and Gyokeres both don’t really feel worth their respective price tags.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Why Raya & Gyokeres?
      Raya has a ceiling of 6points (not bad i know, but still…) and Gyokeres has scored 1 in 6 games and has Havertz coming back to fitness

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Haha I think we’re saying the same thing! I own Raya and Gyok alongside Gabriel, but I’m considering swapping both out for a different Arsenal defender and possibly Rice.

  18. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Managers with no players involved, what players do we really not want to get anything?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      1-1

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        No involvement from Enzo, Pedro, Cucu, Chalobah, Kudus, VDV

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Vicario pen save and clean sheet and save points and 3 bonus. I don’t have him involved, honest

  19. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Gyokeres on BPS with 45 minutes playing time, as soon as I sold him.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Most undeserved baps in ages. Striker baps still not fixed

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    People already looking to ship United assets - I don’t understand why?! Ok Mbeumo didn’t score today but he did twice last week, United look better going forwards and they have some nice fixtures coming up including WHU and Wolves. I am holding.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      1 is ok. More than thet is crazt

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Yeah I have Mbeumo but that’s the limit

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Because most of the people who just brought in Mbeumo are knee jerkers. Knees gonna jerk

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Stats backed him up and United were in the best form they’ve been in for quite awhile. Not too concerned

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Me either I am keeping Mbeumo but wouldn’t get more than one asset

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        It’s crazy

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Need some Spuds corners

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Timing 🙂

  22. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Anyone considering Rogers? Gonna sell doku and A villa have improved and good fixtures now

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Maybe. I’m definitely selling Doku, but not given much thought as to who for yet

  23. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Last second Gabriel yellow costing me 6 points as a TC. So frustrating

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Do they make defcons up. Watched Cucurella win 2 tackles, a header and recover a loose ball, yet he's on 0.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Your team needs to retain possession after a tackle or header to gain DC unless its a clearance from a cross or block from a shot.

  25. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    I'm definitely selling some players and then I'll buy some players.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      I'm looking to buy some players without selling any. Subscribe to my patron to find out how.

  26. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    I think I am going to sell Saka and Cucurella after GW11 for GW12 (GW11 is Sunderland and Wolves respectively) and buy a second Arsenal defender and somebody for Saka. I was considering Gakpo but also not sure about him/Liverpool more generally at the moment, but they do have the fixture swing from GW12, and I think Sarr when I have Mateta is a lot. Anybody I am missing?
