    Imagine saving up for a MC Champions match and none of the first team starts

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Great for free hit…

    2. The Bandit

      That’s why the crowds are always poor.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Because they have to save up?

    3. jacob1989

      And now they are trailing

  2. The Bandit

    Torres Tragic.

    Yes, Harvey! x

  4. Count of Monte Hristo

    Harvey Barnes difficult to ignore now.

    1. BR510
        4 months, 21 days ago

        Might buy on FH

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 21 days ago

      Kudus > Rogers and/or Pedro > Thiago worth a -4 or -8?

      1. BR510
          4 months, 21 days ago

          Kudus can stay for FUL home and go next week so just Thiago for me. But you could bench Pedro and then play next week be Leeds. So either FH or Roll. Do Kudus out next week

      2. BR510
          4 months, 21 days ago

          FH or TC

            4 months, 21 days ago

            I think you need to take advantage of triple captain this week, free hit can go well but quite feasible your current teams performs similar or better whereas backing Haaland (h) to Leeds after a rest in midweek is just pointing to a haul.

          Why is that not a goal? Chalobah didn't touch it

          1. Peteex
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            He clearly made active game action in that situation. Then it's offside. Offside doesn't need a touch on the ball.

          Grimaldo!! In my ucl team. And deserved for pep who plays 2nd team

            A) Mbeumo

            World champions lead vs barca thru own goal

              Harlem Globetrotters 1 -0 Washington Generals

              What a load of nonsense these games are.

              1. jacob1989
                • 4 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Well football is a global sport. Its not just the premiere league

          • Visionaries
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            O'Reilly essential then

            1. JBG
              • 7 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              Because?

              1. Visionaries
                • 9 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Nailed.

                1. JBG
                  • 7 Years
                  4 months, 21 days ago

                  Ah you mean this is basically the "B-team" playing.

                  1. Visionaries
                    • 9 Years
                    4 months, 21 days ago

                    Certainly looks it. Pretty much rested the whole team. I'd feel confident in Foden and O'Reilly (or Dias)

            2. The Hunt
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              Oh really?

            Come round to playing my Free Hit. Thoughts on the below

            Martinez
            Cash Collins VVD O’Reilly
            Salah Schade Doku
            Thiago Haaland Watkins

            1. The Hunt
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              No Crystal Palace or West Ham?

              1. XX SMICER XX
                • 7 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                West Ham concede so many, VVD could feast from set pieces.
                Sarr/Mateta could be a shout, though they haven’t been scoring me many points recently

            2. jacob1989
              • 4 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              Rogers over schade. Not sure on salah. Hoping for a penalty?

              1. XX SMICER XX
                • 7 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Feels like a no brained to punt on him on FH. Will be goals in the game.

                Don’t mind Rogers shout - would need to lose Watkins

                1. FourLokoLeipzig
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  4 months, 21 days ago

                  I was just thinking I’d prefer Mateta to Watkins if I was on FH, so maybe that’s an option to accommodate Rogers, who I would definitely want

          • jacob1989
            • 4 Years
            4 months, 21 days ago

            Barca down to 10 men

            1. The Hunt
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              It's all part of the pantomime.

              That Ronaldo news is outrageous. Clearly one rule for him and one for everyone else. Coincidence that he just met Trump?

                • 4 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                What news?

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  4 months, 21 days ago

                  He got a red car, meaning he should’ve been manned for the first two World Cup matches, but they have suspended them.

                  4 months, 21 days ago

                  Is there a precedent? I can’t recall one - normally a three game ban means you miss three games.

                  1. x.jim.x

                    FIFA are corrupt and Infantino’s bezzies with Tr*mp so

                4 months, 21 days ago

                Saw that elbow. He should be banned for 5 games atleast. On the positive note, he makes portugal significantly weaker. So its actually bad news for those who support portugal that he is not banned

            • Paul Psychic Octopus
              • 15 Years
              4 months, 21 days ago

              These managers who show disrespect - Klopp, Pep etc....
              - Disrespect the paying supporters
              - Disrespect the competition
              - Disrespect the opposition
              - Disrespect the teams vying with that opponent for qualification.

              Pathetic.

                • 11 Years
                4 months, 21 days ago

                Can’t believe people are crying about Pep only putting out about one £500m worth of players instead of another £500m worth of players

                  I'm not crying - maybe crying with laughter. I just don't like the attitude and disrespect.

                    Why would any club show respect to a tournament that has zero respect for player welfare

                      • 15 Years
                      4 months, 21 days ago

                      True. There's not much to respect for UEFA either.

                      If u want player welfare, abolish the mickey mouse efl cup no one cares about. The cl is the king of club football bigger than pl or any other league. I love this new format

                        Yeah let’s bin off the tournament that produced the greatest moment in most Newcastle fans’ lives so we get more games of Madrid battering some Kazakhstani postmen or PSG demolishing some plumbers from Cyprus £££€€€$$$

                          Each country has one cup competition. Why u need 2?

                            More chances for “smaller” teams to win silverware is always good

                              The same logic applies to cl. Smaller teams like qarabag or kairat or bodo get chance to compete with big boys and other teams in europe

                                More chance of me winning Wimbledon

                Then if players get injured, people like you will say “there’s too many games” when that isn’t the issue. The issue is managers in Europe don’t rotate enough

                It’s a 25 man squad, Guardiola has enough credit in the bank to do whatever he likes as did Klopp

                That's what happens when you devalue what was once an absolutely fantastic knock out competition (European Cup) into the money making utter pi sh it is nowadays (Exhibition League).

                    So u want only liverpool, bayern, real Madrid, psg and Napoli plus bunch of minnows like copenhagen, red bull salzburg, kairat almaty, shakthar donetsk, etc.. to compete in a 16 team cl? And just have straight knockouts? R u still living in 1970s?

              You’ve got to be joking. Third Chelsea goal rules out. They really need to work on staying onside 😆

              Currently, who's the best midfielder and the best forward to own barring Haaland?

                I wonder how many others would’ve gone down when he was clipped?

                Why isnt Estavo a regular starter for Chelsea? Baffling.. What a talent.

                  He’s a kid. They want him to be around for many years.

                  Doesn't make Sense why he doesn't. I'll ask some of my Chelsea supporting mates who I play football with on Wednesdays.

                    Chelsea fan here. Basically an introduction to the league and its demands. Its all a lot for 18 year old from abroad so no need to thrust him in the fire right from the start. We will play between 50-60 games this season so more than enough games for him to get acclimatised. That being said, i fully expect Maresca to make him full starter sooner rather than later

                    Unless they have inside information or close links with people at the club I can't really see how just being a Chelsea fan would make them any the wiser.
