    I swear English press hype up these mid players so much

    Palmer, rogers are apparently world class if you read the papers and watch sky tv

    Having a laugh. But according to the press England have always had world beaters an golden generations. 1 World Cup in England history says something else

    1. Prinzhorn
      • 5 Years

      According to written press Rogers is the new Pele

    A season of owning the right player at the wrong time, insane number of bench points and any decision going the wrong way. I do think for the most part FPL is luck plus just going with the crowd.

      It’s all luck

    Anderson on 11 defcon on FPL app, but 12 on FotMob. Hopefully just the FPL app being slow to update

    3 - Casemiro (40)
    2 - Cunha (30)
    1 - B.Fernandes (26)

    Dalot (20)
    Berge (18)

    A) Hold Evanilson until GW 28 (SUN H)
    B) Sell Chalobah for -4 to fund Evanilson -> Pedro
    C) Sell Sanchez for -4 to fund Evanilson -> Pedro

    It's the most kneejerky thing I ever considered but not going the portugese ultra-troll is leading me towards a FPL-breakdown

  8. The Reptile

    That's cost me about 8 points ‐ brought Maguire and Bruno in this GW

  9. Ze_Austin

    So the only CS left involves 10 men with their most popular defender subbed on

  10. Mighty Duck

    Bruno, Boomboomo, get smt ffs

  11. fusen

    So Bruno losing the clean sheet points meant he gained a bonus point 😀

    Ends up being beneficial so that Man Utd defender owners lose points still

          2 months, 11 days ago

          No, he's been poor today. Looks tired. Utd played out of their skin last week to beat Arsenal, so they were always going to fail in the last 20 mins today.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
