          2 months, 11 days ago

          Keep it up.

          You’re not

    2. MikeS

      Ban

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Such a waste to own Enzo

  8. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    That goal bruised a Leeds defender and GK

  9. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Just a quick question, how are DCL owners feeling?

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Minor illness apparently. He's cheap, so not easy to replace. Gonna hold

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Is Pedro someone to get in or after Burnley the points will dry up?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Arsenal is the only defence I fear for a form attacker this season

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Good point.

  11. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    No Pedro + No Palmer

    Things can only get better

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Falling asleep and missing the price change 30 points and counting

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

        Cold dreams.

    2. g40steve

      D-ream

  12. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Yeeee! Really like that as a Pedro owner. Another would be great!

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

      Both Review and Solio recommended starting VvD over J P. I didn't.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        lol no chance I'd have started VvD over JP.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Did you also get Palmer on your recent wildcard?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Sadly no but I have a friend who I helped do a WC24 and he did. Both of us are climbing ranks quickly since then.

  13. Old Wulfrunian

    I smell a huge red arrow for me.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      I missed deadline due to work, it could be worse…

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

    J P on fire. Pity that I couldn't afford Palmer for these fixtures, but hopefully Enzo gets something positive done.

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

      Poor man's Palmer

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

      Doesn't look like he will he's too deep

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

        He's been wide also, even near the corner. But he has also been very close to Palmer. Assist not impossible.

  15. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Kroupi & Enzo out for Joao Pedro and Adli? (too sideways maybe?)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Selling Enzo before BUR is crazy.

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    pretty selfish from palmer there

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

      Should've scored

  17. Punned It
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 11 days ago

    That's a fair start, JP, now for Chalobah to start racking up some DCs.

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

      Yes please

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

    Palmer cap and Pedro was an easy choice in Challenge

    Of course I have Enzo and Ekitike in my real team

  19. F4L

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years

  25. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 9 Years

    1. The Knights Template

    • 15 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Pedro looks really up for this. Decent chance put wide.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Didn't look up for it when I had him in my team for about 10 weeks + multiple price drops. Could be my #1 FPL troll. Always was at Brighton.
