Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea is our next Premier League match of the day, a fixture that the Blues tend to perform well in.

    sorry but neto is becoming one of the worst divers in the league

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      That was pathetic

    2. JT11fc

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        yeah fair on replay there was contact, but its just the way he goes down as well when fouled. theatrical to say the least, get the reputation and refs stop giving you fouls

        1. JT11fc
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Thats what annoys me is players having the same reaction for every foul

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Took the ball

  2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years

    A) Timber -> Gabriel 1FT
    B) Other defender + midfielder -> Gabriel + XXX -4?

    Petrovic Dubravka
    Timber Muñoz Senesi Richards Alderete
    Saka Bruno Mbeumo Semenyo Enzo

    second half could be fun, tempers flaring . red seems likely if spurs can get into it and get crowd going

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

  5. OverTinker

    I moved out Pedro today and he has scored. It has happened to me so many times this season now

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Who are you moving out next? Asking for a friend

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Whoever he moved in this week
        So that he can buy Pedro back again for Wolves at home .

      2. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Gyokeres

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

    One reason i played free hit. To keep j pedro for wolves game.

  7. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

  8. Quality Quality Qualit
    • 16 Years

    Pedro essential

  9. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Poor game so far.

    Bentacour should have been given a RC.

    JP should have scored a hattie.

    VdV should wake up from whatever he is dreaming of.

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

    So injured Gyokeres to Pedro vs woeful WOL (H)...

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

      Yeah removed him, if Gyok is out might just return him and burn 1 FT.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Tempted, might even give him the armband

    3. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Why should he be injured?

        1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Oh, that was quick. Thanks.

          Also, great, I have got both players. 🙁

  11. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Pedro sellers and Mbeumo buyers group hug 🙁

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Lol. At least I sold Pedro for Mateta.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Both outcomes were bound to happen.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Yeah, thats just fpl for you

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Sold Peder(my balkan friends will know about peder) for Mateta, so I'm good.

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

    The knee jerkiness of match days on here is incredible 🙂

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Surely ys sellers have to transfer him back on before Wolves at home

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Woltemade in last week
        Pedro > Welbeck this week (-4!)
        Woltemade > Pedro next week

        Recycling

  13. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Pedro clearly has the ability
    It's consistency that he lacks .

  14. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Simmons has been atrocious since coming on.. expected more from him.

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      In all fairness, all Spurs players were poor. Well, apart from Vicario.

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    VDV owners(new and old) expecting another 2 goals from him I presume.

  16. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    No way Chelsea keep a clean sheet

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      And avoid another red card

  17. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Spurs have no progressive passers. How can they hope to create chances

  18. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Still got Reijnders loitering on my bench. May just hang on seeing as everyone is abandoning

    Even Villa attackers found a return or two in the end

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Hoping Bournemouth is a better stylistic fit for him
      The way I see it Haaland is irrelevant as everyone has him (c) so actually no-one has any Man City exposure really and I do think they will be a top 3 team

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Rodri being back will only help his cause for sure, more license to roam

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

    I’ve been debating selling Kudus for a few weeks now but always had another fire to fight. I think though he needs to be moved up the list.

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

      I've had him since the start and think I'll bin him. I never expect more than 3 points from the lad.

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Might just do him to Sarr and be done with it

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    ooo bentancur should do better

  21. F4L
    • 11 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    like this leaving 3 up top from long throws. as a neutral feels like you're going to get a chance at at least one end

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Solo starts

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Gakpo?

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

        Why wouldn't he?

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Just making sure, who the feck knows anymore

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 22 days ago

          Chiesa loitering and playing well

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 22 days ago

            Wirtz loitering too

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Yes

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

    Aston Villa

    Team to play Liverpool: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne, Kamara, Onana, McGinn, Guessand, Rogers, Watkins.

    Subs: Bizot, Maatsen, Lindelof, Mings, Bogarde, Barkley, Sancho, Malen, Broggio

    Liverpool

    Team to play Aston Villa: Mamardashvili, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo.

    Subs: Woodman, Pecsi, Gomez, Endo, Kerkez, Wirtz, Chiesa, Nyoni, Ngumoha

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

      Isak still on strike?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Injured I think

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

        Reoccurring groin injury...

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

    How’s James looking? Thinking of getting him in for Wolves

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      That’s a shout actually, something different to restoring back to Pedro!

      Bit of a luxury transfer I can’t afford to make on defence though

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

        I’m flush for cash with 1.1 itb

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

    Spurs with 0.01xG after 57 mins and one concussion sub

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Spurs beat Everton comfortably yet less than a week later they’re losing to Chelsea, bizarre season

  27. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Will wait til midweek games but what better?

    Doku ➡️ Rice?
    ➡️ Caicedo?

    1. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Feel like i need to target WOL...

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Rice long term…but Wolves

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Caicedo also makes it easier to switch between formations

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Feel like Liverpool are going to smash Villa, don’t know why

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

      Yeh, I think the line up is good. Sobo not playing RB, and Kerkez benched

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 22 days ago

        Gravenberch might balance things out a bit more again too

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      I’d live with it if Gakpo is heavily involved

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 22 days ago

      Other way around

  29. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    Porro dive

  30. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 22 days ago

    That Pool bench :-/

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

      I know, 170m plus just with Kerkez and Wirtz

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

        Manager to blame.

        Signed divas when we should have done it on depth.
