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

    Everton up to sixth...

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

    Only silver lining of the evening so far is Keane still has his CS in tact.

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

    Senesi has to keep relying on defcon !

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Bournemouth had decent fixtures previously & owning Senesi & Petrovic was infuriating

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

      not even getting it today 😥

      whats happened to him, last 4 GWs slowing down on the defcon front

  13. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Willock non TC'ers mudded

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

  15. bso

    Rice or Rogers for Mbeumo?

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Rogers at this point surely. I'll probably be doing Rice -> Rogers this gw

    2. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Rice

    3. bso

      Thanks guys

  16. Count of Monte Hristo

    Spurs getting relegated would be so good 😆

  17. F4L

    willock g
    ramsey a

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Disallowed offside

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

    Enzo will get the Burnley game for me and then he'll probably be sold. Can't have him taking up a valuable midfield slot.

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

      Ndiaye or someone else instead?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 2 days ago

        Wilson or Dango

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

          Yeah it'll probably be one of those two. Wilson from GW28 looks nice.

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Enzo -> Dango in gw28

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Enzo is such a poor pick. Never again.

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

    Enzo wins throw in on half way line and celebrates. Get in my son.

  21. OneTeamInBristol
    • 2 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Var continues to destroy football. Newcastle goal should had stood.

    1. MarcusAurelius
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      His right eyebrow was offside. Hard to disagree with that

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

    Lol, both Woltemade and Wissa who barely get game time as is, have been dropped so that perennial goals imminent grifter Gordon can play as striker.

  23. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Leeds need to change something for the second half, or this match is gone

  24. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 2 days ago

    Ugh, guaranteed Sarr troll job after I ditch Ndiaye for him

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Damn on my bench 🙁

  26. Moon Dog
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Hasn't Pedro usually been subbed off by now? 😛

      1. Capocannonieri
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 2 days ago

        He can sub after his next goal and assist

    • brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Thiaw you belter

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

      Thiaw is on for another 17 pointer by the looks of things... He's one of the strangest picks this season. He keppt getting 1s for me except for the single 17 pter.

    • Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Nearly ditched Ndiaye for Rayan, wow that would’ve hurt! Ndiaye already on 7 defcon, lovely differential

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

        Oh yeah he was a defcons monster before afcon wasn't he!

      2. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 2 days ago

        Why didn’t I just stick it out.

        At least Sarr could still go mental I guess

    • Effe
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 2 days ago

      Isn’t it about time Tarkowski bundled in a goal… usually gets one a season
