    Estevao wire the No10 shirt for Brazil in mid week (it matters) and now back on scraps for Chelsea.

    Never understand why we are so reluctant at times with young players in this country.

      if his main competition wasnt neto, think he would be getting (more) starts

        Always been the way, or largely.
        You can make a list of benefits of older players and benefits of younger players… I don’t think either one is better than the other.
        Estevao should be getting more time.

    Refs, VAR and Burnley are trash

    2. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      I never whined but we owners absolutely deserved it

    Gotta love FPL. You wait two weeks for a James 1 pointer and all rivals have Enzo

  5. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    time for a vvd 8 pointer

  6. Ze_Austin

    My first time seeing a 4-way tie for bonus points

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      did that broja shot count as a save lol

    2. All Hail K

      Sometimes there's a little adjustment a few minutes after full time.

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        They diddle until the end of Man Utd Everton

  7. fedolefan
    • 12 Years

    Damn it Chalobah, no goal or defcon

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Hope he keeps the 2 bonus points

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Aaaaaand it's gone!

  8. adstomko

    Some frauds out there buying Caicedo this week with Guiu first sub

  9. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    No yellow card for Cucurella, I'll take that as a bonus point.

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 4 days ago

      😆

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 10 Years

      little victories

    3. Mr. Eko
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 3 days ago

      I also wanna pull his lovely hair

    A clear top 3 emerging; City, Arsenal, & Chelsea.

    And thanks to Liverpool collapsing, 4th looks up for grabs.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Chelsea's wins have similarly unconvincing vibes to Liverpool's earlier wins, imo

      1. Moon Dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Yeah, they've not looked convincing. But it's a tough league, top teams don't ease to victory anymore, each win is a struggle.

        Doubt we'll see another 100pt season anytime soon...

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years

    4 clean sheets in 5 for sanchez. 6 for the season. and hes dropped twice!

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Maybe he is just not that good.

      I would sell.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        dont own 🙂

        just a case where patience has been rewarded

  12. Stimps

    Reijnders, VDV coming in for Caicedo, Semenyo...

    Grim

  13. SpaceCadet

    19 from 2. Not too shabby

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Chalobah & Enzo?

      Same here! High five! We actually have similar teams!

      1. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Damn, looks like Chalobah reduced to 1 BP

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          10 months, 4 days ago

          0, after a tie at higher level. The rules on the site don't make it too clear, but that's what I remember from past events

          "Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:

          If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
          If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
          If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each."

            Ahh damn it, cheers for this info Ze!

      2. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        Sanchez and Enzo

        1. RICICLE
          • 4 Years
          10 months, 4 days ago

          Nice!

    2. All Hail K

      Stop the gameweek right now and ride that green arrow.

  14. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Ffs is Szoboszlai right back?

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Wa always tipped to be wasn’t he?

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      It was glaringly obvious he would be with Bradley's injury.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Might be Jones

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Could be good for defcon

    5. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Yeah I’m just having a moan as he’s in my team lol

  15. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    If Semenyo goes down in price again, who is currently 7.6m in my squad, will he go to 7.5m or not?
    He was 7.7m for me before his price dropped last night.
    From my understanding, he'll stay 7.6m even if he drops again, but will be 7.5m if he drops for the third time?!

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Easier to work this out by checking List View of your team on FPL

      Compare CP, SP & PP

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      At what price did you buy him? That's the key. From your description I don't think he will drop for you.

      1. adstomko
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        7.3m

  16. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    How is Sanchez getting 2 bonus pts from only 2 saves? What an absolute joke.

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      The James gone

  17. Atimis
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Went Gakpo over Neto, kept Semenyo, Rodon on my bench before Guiu, going well as always…

  18. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Slot confirmed Szobo is playing RB

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Ah, there it is

  19. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Was James replacement due to injury?

    This guy has been the bain of my fpl life for so many years but I still fall into his trap

    1. adstomko
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Looked like a rest for Barca

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 4 days ago

        And maybe Gusto didn't have more than 30 minutes in him

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Gusto wasn't subbed on directly for him, but later in the game instead

      So there has to be some sort of explanation as to how that happened

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 4 days ago

    Sell one

    A. JP
    B. Cucurella

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      It's not even close...

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 4 days ago

      Why sell Cucu? What's he done wrong?
