  2. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    I’ve had Kelleher and Dubravka for months and benched the wrong one every week for about 12 weeks in a row.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      This is the way

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Just gotta start the right one and you'll be fine.

  3. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Wirtz is being net sold. What?

  4. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Anderson on 11 defcons. Will he make it?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Yeah easily

  5. fusen
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Not sure an assist and clean sheet points is a particularly good captain return from Bruno tbh

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Haaland haul is inevitable. Season over.

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

      Well it’s alot better than the last 5 weeks captaining the Norwegian totem pole.

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      It’s pretty decent

    4. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Haaland could easily match or better that current score

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

        He could also easily do worse than that score.

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Haaland brace

    6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Which clean sheet point

  6. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    God I hate being right all the time, Kelleher can do one, seriously

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

      Why?

    2. Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      I benched him for Sa, but my season has been in the toilet for a while

  7. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Need one more return for Bruno

  8. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Our heavenly father, we give thanks for the Cunha and Bruno attacking returns. We pray for a City clean sheet busting and Semenyo blank. Amen

  9. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Does the return of Douglas Luiz justify getting rid of the ultimate troll (Morgan Rogers)?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Maybe. Luiz hogs the ball terribly

  14. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Looks like Mbeumo is high up on the minutes pecking order. I might bank Cunha points and move to Boomo.

            2 months, 2 days ago

            Technically yes but fpl don’t award because the same player scored that assisted (but to me that should make zero difference)

        6. CoracAld2831
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 2 days ago

          I guess i'll keep Raul then.

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            2 months, 2 days ago

            I wouldn’t

            1. CoracAld2831
              • 5 Years
              2 months, 2 days ago

              It's either him or Thiago to Mane/Kroupi.

              And Reijnders/Tavernier to Enzo probably.
