    cherki looking special

      Let's hope he keeps Reijnders on the bench

    2. Gizzachance

      Better than reijnders

    Points for everyone except FPL General.

      Need a follow-up article from Mr. General on here tomorrow.

      General hasn’t even had an Arsenal defender all season. Fair enough no Haaland if you decide to play that way but at least fill your team with all the other good picks 😆

    Meat & raw milk

      It's great seeing him score again
      Hopefully some idiots captained someone else

    Always captain the robot.

  6. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    So, captaining Woltemade instead of Haaland and punting on Foden vs. Cherki wasn't the play. Sigh.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      Oood so clise to Foden G

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 15 hours ago

        Yeah, would have been very apropos. Need goals from him and Semenyo and a 0-0 tomorrow to salvage the week.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      Mbeumo C wasn't the play either

    3. g40steve

      Suicidal

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    haaland to win golden boot before 2026? 😉

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Need funds for Gabriel. Downgrade Enzo to Cherki might be the way

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    noooo how did foden not score

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      1. F4L

        7 months, 15 hours ago

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 15 hours ago

          Hard to see live tbh

  10. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    This was a potential "difficult fixture" for him
    How can you risk captaining anyone else !

  11. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years

    Cherki an option?

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      His xMins are so low. He’s a wait-and-see possible pick.

  12. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Thoughts on a double Anderson and Thiago rotation for the 11th spot?

    Looks like a decent rotation

  13. Josh.E
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    such a rank killer, am glad I chickened out from captaining Gyokores, damn!

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    what even happened there, foden looked certian to score 😥

  15. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Bournemouth high line playing into Haaland's strength. Great linkup between Chekri and Haaland for the two goals

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    haaland misses 1 on 1

  17. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Terrible miss by Haaland. Time to get rid.

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Bournemouth look horrible

  19. JBG
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Cherki will probably be benched next match, knowing Bauldiola.

    Almost hattrick Haaland and Doku A

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

  22. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 15 hours ago

        At least for now, but 2nd half is close.

      2. iFash@FPL
        • 2 Years
        7 months, 15 hours ago

        I really need his 2 points, at least.

  27. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 15 hours ago

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      Can’t find suitable alternative, prob Gabriel

    Estève is the #2 goalscorer for Man City

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

  29. Kaneyonero

    Haaland v Liverpool will be tasty

  30. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 15 hours ago

    Wished I’d gone double ars def in gw 6 w/c instead of double attack, went donnaruma, can’t see cs in next couple either, after that good fixtures

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 15 hours ago

      Can’t see many CS’s for City.
      They even gifted Burnley with a goal.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 15 hours ago

        Week I got donnaruma!
        Raya had 2cs in last 2 v don 0 !
        Once gyrokes gone, will fix it
