    Lost clean sheet to last minute jam. Of course.

      8 last minutes of Jam

  9. Start one:

    A) Roefs (whu)
    B) Dubravka (TOT)

    Not as easy as it looks considering opponent form and home vs away.

    Van Hecke on 2 bps

    1. My second highest scorer this week 😎

    2. Van Hecke: no CS, miniscule defensive contribution, YC and yet is on 2 bonus for an assist it seems.

  12. Proper &&&& show that goal wiping the CS and bonus

    Verbruggen gtfo of my team. Needed you to save my game week

      Not his fault the ref is a Bournemouth fan

      1. Well, the ref is just a BJ88.

        But van Hecke could.have saved the penalty instead and get some more extra Baps, defcons and cleany points.

  14. Petrovic with only 2 CS since GW5.

    Only Donnarumma is worse.

      No way. Where's Areola?

      1. I should have said, based on gut feeling.

          Well done. Have an upvote.

    What are you upto Van Hecke. A CB with 4 defcons. Make up for it with a late goal.

      Be very grateful for the 6 points

      1. fedolefan

        Why should I be grateful when folks are enjoying FPL review pens.

    Would you start Van Hecke or Gudmundsson this week?

    1. Mother Farke

      Both will concede but Gud is better for DEFCON.

    That van hecke score feels like a massive haul compared to the rest of my team.

    1. Thats kind of dad.

  18. First time this season that none of the 20 teams managed to score more than two goals.

        lol

      2. Based on GCSE math basic skills.

        However, my guts felt the boredom festival coming in right after the Dorgu haul on my bench.

    Why buy Haaland when you can buy a Brighton goalscorer who would Kostoulas

    What to do with this mess? Who transfer out first?

    Pope, Dubravka
    Guehi, Nunes, Gabriel, Alderete, Chalobah
    Saka, Rice, Rogers, Wilson, Bruno G.
    Ekitike, Haaland, Calvert-Levin

    1 free transfer and 0.1 in the bank.

    Thank you and good luck!

    1. Nothing. Looks better than my team, certainly.

    Senesi > Guehi locked before the transfer became official. Defcons schmefcons. Can’t stay away from cards, can’t score, can’t keep a CS. Never bothering with him again.

    1. g40steve

      Same with Petrovic

  22. Thierry Henry.

    Please stop.talking.

    But early but start Senesi (LIV) or Alderete (whu)?

    1. MarcusAurelius
      • 10 Years

      I think both concede. Senesi better chance of attacking return

    I have a clone for the first time of the season 🙁
