          No Van den Ven in Spurs defence.
          Haaland will haul.

      1. REDMOND IN SANDALS
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      CDMs this season have been a steal..

      Anderson, Rice, Casemiro and Caicedo for a while there. Ayiari or how you spell it at Brighton lately as well.

  11. Jet5605
    • 11 Years

    Happy Bruno and Cunha owner here. GET IN

  12. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Casemiro essential?

  13. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Haha, had to buy Cunha because I was .1m short of Boomo 😀

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      You don't deserve his points 🙂

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago

        I’m long overdue some good luck

  14. BobbyDoesNotLook

    Annoying Cunha. Sold before Arsenal due to managed minutes and Dorgu favoured. Would have obviously kept if Dorgu injury occurred one week earlier.

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      Ah it was the right move at the time

  15. DL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Once Bonus + Clean Sheet are added, Casemiro will move above Foden and Saka for total points among all midfielders...

  16. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Cherki Semenyo Start

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      Pretty much expected, considering injuries

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      O'Reilly in midfield

  17. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Foden Reihnders Bench

  18. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    Utd points spread all over, hard to get the right ones

  19. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Cuhna scoring when his ownership is down
    He was never a good pick under Amorim while most of the attacking/creative players were injured or at AFCON .

  20. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 2 days ago

    No VDV

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      Haaland cappers got it right.
      Bruno needs to add to his points or his takers will be in the mud.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 2 days ago

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago

        The first one is better but not with Saliba
        Save some funds & go with Tark/ Guehi or Senesi

        1. Raoul Nogues
            1 month, 2 days ago

            Thx

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago

        Why is Sels off? Why would Dyche sub the greatest FPL pick?

      3. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago

        Cunha gets returns in last 3 when most got rid !

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 2 days ago

          Did Cunha to Cherki after pre- Manchester derby leak. Horrific decision. Shows leaks aren't always helpful

        2. Monklane
          • 16 Years
          1 month, 2 days ago

          You and many of us.

        Konsa is useless in the box

      5. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 2 days ago
