            How to raise £3.4m here for Guiu to Pedro?

            He's killing my rank, more than Palmer.

              They have Burnley then the fixtures turn. I'm leaving it.

            Salty non owners everywhere

            Can’t believe people only went with Enzo for that Chelsea fixture run

            1. DropkickMurphys
              • 5 Years
              1 month, 1 day ago

              Yeah I can’t believe amount of people who only has Enzo when Chelsea has been winning for 5 games and Pedro returned in all of them.

            Any Palmer owners tempted to keep after 28 now? On a bit of a run of form

              Flat track bully. Will dry up once fixtures stiffen.

            2. Moon Dog
                1 month, 1 day ago

                No plans to replace him. Highest xG/90 out of all mids.

                I'll see how it goes.

              Palmer back to his flat track bully ways!

              I have Palmer at least. Glad to have for next gameweek too.

              I swear to god what is going on with these brain dead defenders???!!!

              Doherty kicking Pedro while he is facing away from goal on the edge of the 18 yard box
              Mosquera pushing Pedro in the back while he is facing away from goal on the edge of the 18 yard box
              Bijol pushing Pedro in the back while he is facing away from goal on the edge of the 18 yard box

              And Palmer mopping up points from thin air penalties. Nonsense

              1. PartyTime
                • 4 Years
                1 month, 1 day ago

                His pen record is amazing. Incredible effort by him since he still has to put the ball in the net

              No Palmer but Pedro is doing work. Pleased with this.

              Why do I own Chalobah and Enzo and not Palmer or Pedro

                1 month, 1 day ago

                Can't even afford Ekitike to Pedro and Rice to Palmer for a hit - 0.1 short

              3. Mr. O'Connell
                • 13 Years
                1 month, 1 day ago

                55 mins into the gameweek and I already need Enzo le Fee to bail me out.
