    Surprised to see Soucek benched, considering the aerial threat Walter poses.

  4. Royal5

    Saw the lineups an thought Woltemade was benched for Wilson. Forgot Wilson played for West Ham 😆

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Score against the old club for sure

    A’noon all. Who to transfer out for Timber?

    A - VDV
    B - Lacroix

    I’m thinking A but his mega haul on my bench still hurts

    Ta

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Me: Woltemade
    Rival: Gordon and Burn

    0 points for guessing how this game is gonna go

    1. mookie

      1-0 WHU with Gordon subbed off in the 58' and Burn booked.

    You can’t stay up with Todibo and Kilman as your pair of center backs.
    West Ham is going down and tax payer will pick 50% of the rent cost on the Olympic Stadium.

  8. The Philosopher

    Just seen the palace highlights from yesterday. Mateta Sarr double up a definite keep for the foreseeable future.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 4 days ago

      Sarr’s post was painful.
      Small margins in this game, mostly a lottery really.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 4 days ago

        Sarr's post. Saka's sitter. Could've been sitting on a huge score yesterday, but I guess we move.

  23. JBG
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 4 days ago

    Much more contact with the ball than when Amad was fouled against Brighton... pen not given for Amad.

  24. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 4 days ago

      It's a good point
