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

      Zat was 10 minutes ago

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

  2. Kaneyonero

    2 months, 11 days ago

    Enzo needs to go, Palmer back and JP leading the way

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

      1 more game then Enzo and Rice to some interesting players

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

        Lost the patience long time ago, gtf out of my team

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Easy keep for Burnley

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

        Not for me. Turned him into Palmer on WC.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        No he’s done nothing for weeks now and looks unlikely to do anything going forwards.

        Another trap in the long line of FPL traps that have claimed more victims than the Spanish flu did in WW1!

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 11 days ago

          What are we even talking about? You would be selling any asset before Burnley?

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

        Yeah he's a keep for Burnley and then he's gone from my team.

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 11 days ago

          Yeah

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

    West Ham 0 : 0 Man U at half time is surprising

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      I have Mbuemo, Bowen and Bruno I need goals!

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

        Just the BrunoF Mbeumo CS points for me

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      It's not though, WH defensive and midfielde line can smell Areolas farts, considering how deep they've been sititng.

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

        Bowen has been playing like a secondary RB

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

      Carrick luck is gone

  4. Jarnathan
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Bringing in Rayan for this game week has paid off. That's 3 attacking returns in 3 - for only 5.5 in a very dangerous Bournmouth side...

  5. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Come on Nmecha Streisand!

  6. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Don't worry Chelsea fans, the Penalty fairy will help you today.

    Chechen gangsters sending some money to the Ref, just need a nice dive to make it happen

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

      They're owned by American gangsters now

  7. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Chalobah has been low-key disappointing lately.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Cashing him in for Hill

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Expensive as well

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Yeah he's gone after Burnley

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

    Sorry folks, have watched this movie too many times. The inevitable Enzo goal is coming.

  9. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    At least Tark looks liking getting defcon

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      I hope so

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Enzo winner needed

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

      Enzo sale needed.

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

      Won’t happen

  11. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Hill 3rd on my bench outscoring the collective efforts of Pickford, Chalobah, Enzo and Fruno.

    Sums up my season right there.

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

    delap wastes enzo a

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

    Is Palmer lying about his fitness to lure the opposition into a false sense of security?

    He doesn't look unfit to me.

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

      He probably feels slightly different every single day. Some days good, some days not so good. Never 100%

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

        Yeah he actually said exactly this in an interview on the weekend.

        He's played pretty well today for someone not at 100%.

  14. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Did Gordon Ramsey score?

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Delap is proper shite.. so thrilled he chose Chelski over MU

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

      Owned by yanks

  16. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Screw it! I’m getting JP in for Burnley, for no other reason than to ensure his streaky points run immediately dries up!

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

      Cheers

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

        You are most welcome

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

    No DCs at Stamford Bridge yet

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

      Rodon DC!

      Bijol 9

      Chalobah 8

  18. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Chalaboah for ....

    Is Munoz good again?

    Chalaboah without CS and no goal threat anymore. He used to get a head on set pieces. He was the TEMU Gabriel earlier.

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

      If you don’t have him already then get Hill.

      I have him and am going to perms start him now.

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

        The Hill bandwagon is on!

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

      Decide after Burnley

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

      Munoz will be the next trap, you heard it first herre

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 11 days ago

        Have had amazing luck with Munoz whenever I’ve owned him, brought him in this GW, haul incoming

  19. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    If everyone could stay away from Palmer, that would be great

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      I second this motion

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

      Lol I joined the train this week. Most have Enzo and will hold, so one more week then the planet will be on board.

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Happy to stay away, the trap has been set

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

    hill's outscoring senesi by like 12 points now last 2 GWs 😥

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      On my bench 🙁

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

      Get Senesi, get Bruno G, Get Bruno F, get Enzo, get Rice… none of them consistent enough when you get them, getting outscored by other team mates

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

        No player in FPL history consistently returns every week.

        Ebbs and flows.

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

          Wrong. The players I dont own return every week.

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

    Neto cross-shot close

  22. Baps Hunter

      2 months, 11 days ago

      hes been very unfortunate

      bar the stupid rabona 1 on 1 attempt

    2. Ze_Austin

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Don’t start with that

      His returns against Brentford, Palace and West Ham were extremely jammy. He did nothing in those games and got returns. Take what you got and shush

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      Meanwhile Palmer getting free penalties with crap xG

    5. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 11 days ago

      There needs to be an XG FPL league for Ekitike and Enzo to dominate

      Not the goals you score, the goals you should have scored

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

    pedro must have got so many bps deductions today, shots off target, being constantly offside etc

  24. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    5 from 5. season over

  25. Capocannonieri
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 11 days ago

    Palmer on the ball is awful to watch.

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

      You must be joking

    2. MikeS
      • 11 Years
