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

    Own James.
    Captain Ekitike.

    Just know Haaland scores a hat trick against us now.

    I'm done. Have fun everyone!

    1. OneTeamInBristol

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

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

        Won't be saying that when Thiaw pockets Haaland

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Got what I deserved for dumb risks btw

    3. JBG

      Do you own Salah as well?

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

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

  3. F4L

    neto hits post

    wouldve been enzo a

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Neto looks like the best Chelsea pick

      The best Chelsea pick is "Avoid".

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

      I'm done with them.

  5. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    So close for Enzo assist

  6. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Neto is very good

  7. z13
    • 1 Year
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Nearly again for Enzo. Wow

  8. Effe
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    A Burnley goal would be nice

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years

      Hear hear

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

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

    1. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      Final ball has let them down so much

  10. panda07

    That's Chouna - I'll kill you!

  11. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    Surprised Dub only has two saves so far

  12. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

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

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      A Reijnders masterclass would be ideal jam

  13. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

    JP Yellow

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 27 days ago

      When? Didn't see that

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

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

      Watkins

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 27 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
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 27 days ago

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

    7. OverTinker
      • 8 Years

      Enzo

  15. JBG

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Scott Parker.

  16. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 27 days ago

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

    • 9 Years

    Goal from Esteve would be lovely.
    I wish.
