    is vvd's netherlands' captain as well? why would you do that to your captain at the next world cup lol

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Simons is beyond stupid

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Looks like there was no bad blood between them when he walked off the pitch, I'm guessing he was shouting it wasn't in purpose

    3. #1 Salah Hater
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 3 days ago

      He clearly runs into him by accident. Still probably a red when VAR slows it down -1000x yeah, but hardly a 2 footed lunge from behind

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Nah. He keeps his foot in the air to try catch him, that wasn't a running stride

        1. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 3 days ago

          Absolutely not. Both changed direction at the moment of contact.

    4. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      It was clearly a misstep from change of direction of both players. Unfortunate, but I don’t think there’s that much force on it to make it serious foul play.

  2. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 3 days ago

    Why are there constantly like 3 Liverpool players closer to the Spurs goal than Ekitike every time they start attacking

  3. I have no Wirtz
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Will Guiu ever rise to 4.4 again?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Why will he?

        1. Sailboats
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 3 days ago

          Many people are switching to 3-5-2

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 months, 3 days ago

            Why get new set of chips in weeks?

    • TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Spurs fans booing for what 😆

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Pavlovian response to the halftime whistle.

    • Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Liverpool have seen their opponents receive four red cards in the Premier League this season - double the number of any other side.

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Dont call them varpool for nothing

    • Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Is Eki looking threatening / worth buying?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Not really

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 3 days ago

          No supply just passing back & across the back 4

      2. #1 Salah Hater
        • 1 Year
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Nope, but nor has anyone on the pitch.

      3. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Difficult to tell he's even playing.

    • g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Rubbish FH

    • FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      A little worried for Ekitike’s minutes, here

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        He might go two up top if he brings Isak on

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        He needs support or supply getting neither.

    • fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Reece James the absolute peak troll.

      I got him in for gw 11, benched him gw 13, then transferred out in 16.

      Played 3 games and got 8 points for me...

    • Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      God I hate template, ofc I didn't go Semenyo and he gets jam...

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Hard to sell him now.

    • Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Boring game so far, bench one from the below please?

      A) Alderete (LEE)
      B) Tarkowski (bur)
      C) Chalobah (AVL)
      D) Guehi (TOT)
      E) H.Wilson (whu)

    • FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Van dijk 0 defcons in the first 45 mins

      1. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Probably the first time.

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      20 mins of watching Newcastle play today was enough to tell me Woltemade >> Ekitike. Heck, the signs were there after the first five minutes.

    • Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      I'll end up going 451 with how the forwards are performing this season

      1. Sir Michael Taker
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        So few of them in the league capable of hauling now never mind scoring consistently. Remember the days where you struggled to choose 3 because there were so many good ones. If there wasnt a second BB to consider I'd strongly be considering Guiu and Kroupi just to remove the temptation to play 2 strikers

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 3 days ago

          I'll probably give Ekitike a run and if that fails it's Kroupi in and move money into defense and midfield.

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        You can still have two good forwards and a quality squad, I’ll be on this next week.

        Dubravka Verbruggen
        Timber Chalobah Guehi O’Reilly Senesi
        Saka Bruno Foden Semenyo Wilson
        Haaland Bowen Guiu

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 months, 3 days ago

          Yeah money is not a problem. I'll get Ekitike for Thiago now and will have the same midfield as you.

    • Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      alison (dub)
      richards cala mukiele (oriely clyne)
      Saka rice foden neto (king)
      Haland tiago ekitke

      Which, 3fts ?

      A) tiago king to bowen miley
      b) tiago neto king to bowen gordon deveny/4.3mid.
      c) tiago neto alison to bowen gordon pope (was going to do alison to pope gw20 anyway, gw19 FH)
      d) tiago neto to bowen murphy/rogers.

    • Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 3 days ago

      Had the 3 pointers from Foden when I owned GW6 to GW10 and now I’ve bought him back in the blanks have returned. FPL at its finest.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 3 days ago

        Thanks for that!

        1. Tic Tacs

            1. Tic Tacs
              • 6 Years
              4 months, 3 days ago

              No I’ve had him for a while now, so picked up lots of penalty jam
