    Did Gordon to enzo 3 gw ago
    Gordon scored more, and missed 1 game

    Gordon was a poor own, no returns, poor minutes, since pool game, goal, assist, better minutes
    Troll !

    Palmer scoring that sitter would really have made the night perfect

    Still happy with the returns

    1. Baps Hunter

    Sure it must have been said before but 'Had it in the Palmer of his hand'

    MU apparently has a 36% win rate vs London clubs, since SAF left.

    I really stuffed up playing Kroupi over Hill. Shouldve played the 90min man.

    Only real winner today in all of FPL is Pundit of Punts.

    Come on, find that last DC for Chalobah, I know it's hiding somewhere in OPTA's systems.

    1. iFash@FPL

    As a Chelsea fan what I just witnessed is absolute nonesense. Too much complacency for both goals. Just shocking.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      They would rather yell at the ref than actually defend. Terrible mentality

  14. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Senesi and Tarkowski are out the door after that useless effort.

  15. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    With the help of hindsight I should have benched Enzo like Camzy.

  16. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Feck off Bowen. Capped you last week for nothing.

  17. OneTeamInBristol

  20. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Sanchez and endo haven’t been the best picks

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Endo is a niche one for sure

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

        Give them Burnley, then gone

  21. Camzy
