        11 months, 23 days ago

        Hopefully he gets a 2nd so I'm forced to boot him out my team sooner rather than later

  2. TheTinman
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Own James.
    Captain Ekitike.

    Just know Haaland scores a hat trick against us now.

    I'm done. Have fun everyone!

    1. OneTeamInBristol
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I love a rogue captain shout, but captaining Ekitike is madness

      1. TheTinman
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Won't be saying that when Thiaw pockets Haaland

    2. TheTinman
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Got what I deserved for dumb risks btw

    3. JBG
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Do you own Salah as well?

      1. JBG
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Just trying to gauge how good your choices has been this season, that you ended up doing something like this

  3. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

    neto hits post

    wouldve been enzo a

  4. Brosstan
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Neto looks like the best Chelsea pick

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      The best Chelsea pick is "Avoid".

      Too much rotation, too many traps. And Palmer still out..

      I'm done with them.

  5. RICICLE
    11 months, 23 days ago

    So close for Enzo assist

  6. FantasyTony
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Neto is very good

  7. z13
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Nearly again for Enzo. Wow

  8. Effe
    11 months, 23 days ago

    A Burnley goal would be nice

    1. _Greg
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Hear hear

  9. F4L
    11 months, 23 days ago

    a palmer in the final third and think chelsea wouldve had 3 by now

    1. Four Letter Wirtz
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Final ball has let them down so much

  10. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

    That's Chouna - I'll kill you!

  11. Ze_Austin
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Surprised Dub only has two saves so far

  12. Fifa las vegas
    11 months, 23 days ago

    F**k Semenyo anyway, disaster. Would’ve been almost a differential in my ML this week

    1. Fifa las vegas
      11 months, 23 days ago

      A Reijnders masterclass would be ideal jam

  13. Sgt. Schultz
    11 months, 23 days ago

    JP Yellow

    1. jacob1989
      11 months, 23 days ago

      When? Didn't see that

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    11 months, 23 days ago

    João Pedro the worst pick in the whole game imo. Find a worse one.

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Reece James

    2. Brosstan
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Ekitike

    3. Gizzachance
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Watkins

    4. jacob1989
      11 months, 23 days ago

      He scored 16 pts last 2 games. What more u want?

    5. NABIL - FPL otai

    6. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Wirtz has 0 goals and 0 assists. That's pretty bad for 8.5m. I thought he was cheap when the game released! 😳

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Yes, I got that one completely wrong. I had Watkins, Rogers & Salah too

    7. OverTinker
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Enzo

  15. JBG
    11 months, 23 days ago

    How do Chelsea consistently play such bad matches and still win ?

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Scott Parker.

  16. Brosstan
    11 months, 23 days ago

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Gabriel & Semenyo to Mukiele & Saka looking good so far..

  18. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Cant wait to sell Joao Pedro. He's terrible.

  19. keefy59

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Well, that's a bit of a stretch.

      37/16= 2.3 ish

      1. F4L
        11 months, 23 days ago

        1. Three Pints of Schlager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 months, 23 days ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 months, 23 days ago

  22. Brosstan
    11 months, 23 days ago

    1. _Greg
      11 months, 23 days ago

  24. Tibbs
    11 months, 23 days ago

    1. Bobby Digital
      11 months, 23 days ago

    1. Bigbars

  29. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Chelsea corners are so poor.

    Almost as embarrassing as Santos and Maresca.

  30. Kabayan
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Goal from Esteve would be lovely.
    I wish.
