    omfg I benched Thiaw for Keane.
    This'll be horrible.

    1. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      He might not come on

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 7 days ago

        He also might.

  2. F4L

    amad an option at 6.2?

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Had a disallowed goal last week. But I'm still on the fence about him though, he plays fairly wide. I own him, but he's near the top of my hit list.

      Kind of player that could explode at any moment...

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 7 days ago

        cheers

  3. Old Wulfrunian

    What a season from Moyes.

  4. The Knights Template

    5 months, 7 days ago

    Enzo/Watkins > Palmer/Kroupi Jr? Or wait til the games are finished and then ask?

    1. Utopsis

      Offside

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 7 days ago

        Would've been on had he scored

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      It wasn’t a sitter and he wasn’t onside.

    Who will Traore man-handle in this game?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      Bruno. He just might land in Porto.

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

      Don't like this guy. What he did to Cucu was unsportsmanlike.

      Does that today, Casemiro will end his career, Roy Keane style

  8. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    When the gw starts off bad, it's usually ends up being a bad gw and all your ML Rivals score millions

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

      That's me, if my Captain misses a PK, I get a massive Red Arrow.

  9. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      Think you're confusing them with Liverpool

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

      Hill is the new Senesi. He's been getting a mad amount of DCs.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 7 days ago

  12. DandyDon

    You can tell I'm well behind with these punty picks this week;

    Martinelli - 0.5% ownership
    Strand Larsen - 1% ownership
    Jose Sa - 1% ownership

  13. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

  17. Moon Dog

    West Ham playing well. Making it difficult for United to play.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 7 days ago

        Spider Wan patrolling the goal line.

  21. Basileus
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Cucurella hooked at half time

  22. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Getting Enzo in for Roger’s 2 weeks ago was a huge mistake.

    1. RICICLE
      • 4 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      Why what’s happened with Enzo?

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 7 days ago

        Dropping deeper to accommodate Palmer. Also not on pens because of Palmer.

        1. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 7 days ago

          Hopefully Palmer goes off on 60 mins and Enzo pushes forward

        2. RICICLE
          • 4 Years
          5 months, 7 days ago

          Palmer will never grace my team again

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      Especially with palmer playing lately

  23. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Genius move with Thiaw last on my bench

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      Nah, surely spurs will score and come back

  24. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Summerville looks so good. If he scores in this game, we have to bring him in.

  25. TyroneGAA
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    George looks a class player Everton signed

  26. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Senesi is a dud pick now. Hill has ruined him.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      He's over the hill

  27. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Enzo owners complaining about him need to sell him for once and see how the experience of not owning him feels like.

    It’s slow death for non-owners where you stay hopeful for like 90 mins and then in an instant watch him get a 10 pointer. Makes you question everything in life.

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      I'll be selling him after Burnley anyway

  28. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Ekitike to Pedro home to Burnley gonna be popular

  29. F4L
    • 11 Years

  30. DropkickMurphys
