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

    He's killing my rank, more than Palmer.

  19. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    Salty non owners everywhere

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

    1. DropkickMurphys
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 7 days 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.

  20. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

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

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

      Flat track bully. Will dry up once fixtures stiffen.

    2. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 7 days ago

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

      I'll see how it goes.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      I think I’m gonna keep

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

    Palmer back to his flat track bully ways!

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

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

  23. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

    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
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

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

  24. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

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

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Same situation here. Congrats for benching Enzo!

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 7 days ago

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years

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

      How's he looking?

      On my watchlist...

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

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

  30. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 months, 7 days ago

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