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

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Great for free hit…

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      That’s why the crowds are always poor.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        Because they have to save up?

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      And now they are trailing

  2. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Torres Tragic.

  3. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Yes, Harvey! x

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Harvey Barnes difficult to ignore now.

    1. BR510
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Might buy on FH

  5. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

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

    1. BR510
      7 months, 23 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

  6. BR510
    7 months, 23 days ago

    FH or TC
    Pope (eve)
    timber (che), senesi (sun), richards (mun)
    sarr (mun), cunha and mbeumo (cry), saka (che)

    Thanks all! 1FT and 0.6 itb

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 23 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
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

  8. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

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

  9. I have no Wirtz
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Who to bench

    A) Mbeumo
    B) Saka
    C) Enzo

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      C

  10. F4L

    chelsea are all over barca

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Third time lucky for Chelsea?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Hilarious defending 😆

  12. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    World champions lead vs barca thru own goal

    1. The Hunt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Harlem Globetrotters 1 -0 Washington Generals

      What a load of nonsense these games are.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

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

  13. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    O'Reilly essential then

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Because?

      1. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        Nailed.

        1. JBG
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

          1. Visionaries
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 23 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
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      Oh really?

  14. The Hunt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Harvey Barnessential

  15. XX SMICER XX
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    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
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      No Crystal Palace or West Ham?

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 23 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
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 23 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
          7 months, 23 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

  16. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Barca down to 10 men

    1. The Hunt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      It's all part of the pantomime.

    timber (che), senesi (sun), richards (mun)
    sarr (mun), cunha and mbeumo (cry), saka (che)
    haaland (LEE), Mateta (mun), wolte (eve)

    1. FH
    2. Woltemade to Thiago
    3. Sarr to Rogers
    4. Both for -4

  18. The Bandit

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

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      What news?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 23 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.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          *card

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

            *banned 😆

      2. The Hunt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        He's just been given JD Vance's job.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      I don’t think anybody expected anything less

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 23 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
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 23 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

  19. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 23 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.

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 23 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

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

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

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

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

          1. Paul Psychic Octopus
            • 15 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

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

          2. jacob1989
            • 4 Years
            7 months, 23 days ago

            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

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 23 days ago

              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 £££€€€$$$

              1. jacob1989
                • 4 Years
                7 months, 23 days ago

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

                1. x.jim.x
                  • 11 Years
                  7 months, 23 days ago

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

                  1. jacob1989
                    • 4 Years
                    7 months, 23 days ago

                    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

                    1. x.jim.x
                      • 11 Years
                      7 months, 23 days ago

                      More chance of me winning Wimbledon

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      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

    3. The Hunt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      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).

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        It started going to pot when you no longer had to be your country’s champions to get in.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          nah some of the most memorable moments have come from that. at least for english clubs.

          united 99
          istanbul 2005
          munich 2012
          2019 ucl semis

        2. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 23 days ago

          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?

  20. Richm

    FH or TC?
    Pope
    Senesi timber mukiele guehi Gabriel

    Man city b team trails 0-2..pep wants to go thru playoffs again looks like

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

      2 more matches to play. Silly

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

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

  23. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

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

  24. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Estevao magic

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

  25. jacob1989

    Estevao dream goal! No offside

  26. Silecro

    YAMAL WHO??

  27. I have no Wirtz
    7 months, 23 days ago

    Got a midfield situation, which 2 to bench?

    Saka, Enzo, Mbeumo, Sarr, Minteh

  28. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

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

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 23 days ago

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

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        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

      2. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 23 days ago

        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.

  29. jacob1989
