    If Nottingham Forest wins the Europa League and get relegated, they could be in the Champions League, whilst in the Championship?

    How we laughed as West Ham ended up keeping the only clean sheet of the DGW!

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20

      Relax

    I'm so gutted about playing Keane over Thiaw.

    Had Thiaw in my bus team, but read various bits of content here and there; changed my mind.

    Punished with horrible variance once again, even though both teams conceded.

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20

      And DEFCON

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Yep. Just ridiculous. Thanks a lot Moyes.

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      This was me when I benched Reinildo for his 11 pointer.

      My benching him wasn't the issue - it was not making him 1st sub vs Burnley given Saka no show.

      Gutting, this game can punish you so

  13. Brosstan

    2 months, 10 days ago

    Carrick clueless. Doing the same thing every game regardless of state of the game.

    1. tucaoneo

      gary neville in tears of joy

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Wrong Fernandes?

  15. F4L
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    who is playing LM right now for United?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      *have they gone 2 up top?

  16. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Gents is this worth -4?

    Enzo, cholobah, dorgu >>> Palmer, hill, justin

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Nah

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Other option Enzo and mbuemo to Palmer and 6.4

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          Only for free. Enzo the big under achiever in last two.

          1. MikeS
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 10 days ago

            Yer that would be for free

  17. Herger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Actually hope Sesko scores now. West ham coaching staff celebrating him coming on in is massively disrespectful

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Justice done. Great finish

    2. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Lol!!

      1. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Class finish

  18. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    United only 1 attempt on target after 74 mins

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Carrick got it massively wrong by continuing to play with a false 9. No presence up top or in the box. WH sat way too deep and no one to cross it to.

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        You should be appointed manager of manure

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          Why would I manage something that's needed around a farm?

          1. MikeS
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 10 days ago

            Because you talk alot of crap! Haha

            1. JBG
              • 7 Years
              2 months, 10 days ago

              Your first point still doesn't make sense in a footballing sense. *shrugs*

              1. GREEN IS GOOD
                • 9 Years
                2 months, 10 days ago

                Manure = Manu

  19. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    One thing that bothers me the most with not potentially (most likely) not getting a win here, is that curly haired fck continuing to get attention online

    1. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Haha he's probably glad to remain relevant

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Found out today that he has his iwn merch. Yyyyyuck

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        100%. This gimmick is his cash cow. Once the 5 wins happens he will instantly become irrelevant.

  20. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Ffs, did Keane really just play 1 min

    1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 4 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Not sure he even touched the ball... in those situations, should it even count!?

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Morally, no

  21. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Tempted to just do Thiago to Pedro, he’s on fire and the only other way to afford would be a hit, thoughts?

    Team:
    Verbruggen
    Gabriel Timber Munoz
    Bruno Mbuemo Enzo Sarr Rice
    Haaland Thiago
    (Areola Kroupi VDB Andersen)
    (1FT & 1.1itb)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Thiago has great fixtures

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Don’t chase the train, take the next one

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 10 days ago

          All aboard the 2-Pointer to Thiago-town! Choo choo!

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      Pedro will regress soon as fixtures after Burnley not too rosy

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Possibly, but he is in form. In form strikers can be good.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      I'd rather consider selling Mbeumo to have both.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 10 days ago

        Or Enzo actually

    4. lespaul
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      There's a small chance of JP getting a rest and Delap getting a go at the Burnley defence, though you'd expect him to score if he does start

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    wait has carrick moved into amorim's system here?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      *doesnt look like carrick knows what his plan b is, kinda puts me off owning anyone other than bruno tbh

  23. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Should have went with my gut and brought in J.Pedro for two gameweeks!!

  24. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Carrick OUT
    Chalobah OUT
    Spurs OUT

    James Hill IN

  25. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    FFS benched Hill for Maguire

  26. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Come on bowen!

  27. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Thiaw benched. United lose. Night all

  28. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Palmer's still on for max bonus, despite his best efforts to lose them

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 10 days ago

      JP does it better

  29. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    BBC sport still has the earlier games running on its live view into 31mins added time! Lol

  30. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 10 days ago

    Bottled it essentially.
