    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.

      16 days, 10 hours ago

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

      1. iFash@FPL

        This!

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

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        16 days, 10 hours ago

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

    • Feanor
      • 16 Years
      16 days, 10 hours ago

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

    • Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      16 days, 10 hours ago

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

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      16 days, 10 hours ago

      Feck off Bowen. Capped you last week for nothing.

    • F4L

      16 days, 10 hours ago

      pedro pissed away so much bps

      goal and assist was worth 36. ended up 31, poor tbh

    • Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      16 days, 10 hours ago

      Sanchez and endo haven’t been the best picks

      1. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        16 days, 10 hours ago

        Endo is a niche one for sure

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          16 days, 10 hours ago

          Give them Burnley, then gone

    • Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      16 days, 10 hours ago
