  4. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is O'Reilly in for Tarkowski or Thiaw worth a -4, or is it points chasing?
    Would also mean 10 players in 31

    1. Peteex
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Hell no!

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      The definition of chasing last weeks points.
      He’s been getting sold in mass for the last few weeks

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      im kinda tempted by thiaw this gw but i dont hes worth a hit

  5. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    So Spurs, Forest and West Ham to battle
    It out for survival.

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    just have a shot on target from the fk, might as well

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Saka injured

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Could be a bad one

    2. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      He's just time wasting, he's fine.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 11 days ago

        It will just be added on in injury time surely

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 11 days ago

          They never quite add on what was stolen away though!

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 11 days ago

        He doesn't need to tbh.

  8. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Saka on the ground holding his leg

    1. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Trademark "Saka limp".

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      He’s playing down the clock. How very Arsenal of him!

  9. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Tactical " injury" .... booo

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      His foot got stuck under Simmons

  10. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    How things change. A few weeks back Arsenal gets 1 and its almost certain thats enough. Now a 2 goal lead ia not enough.

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      nope

  11. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Oh I’ve missed the Saka limp 🙂

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      As iconic as MJ’s moonwalk.

      1. Sailboats
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 11 days ago

        lmaooo

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    will saka be fit for next week? safe to get him tonight?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Probably will be fine, but I don’t know if he’s worth owning in FPL anyway. Gets rested sometimes and still is more likely to assist than to score, which isn’t great for his price

  13. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    thats a save?

  14. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    7 minutes to play. If spurs score a second, they will get to 3-3

  15. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Is that a Raya save? (clutching at straws)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      think that has to be no? was heading in, was a shot

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        1 month, 11 days ago

        Given!

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 11 days ago

          nice 🙂

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

      *insert Ronaldo crying meme*

  16. F4L

  17. F4L
    • 11 Years

    can arsenal see this out now? 😉

  18. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Spurs Lincoln going to be some game next season

  19. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    What I think are going to be moving weeks never are. 30 with just Bruno left.
    Let’s forget this one and call it 4 weeks of hauls 28-31

  20. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    I am tempted to bring in Harry Wilson. Spurs next.

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Nailed on transfer in for me. Good GW31 fixture too

  21. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    This Spurs team could seriously go down

  22. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Get rid of Chalobah or Timber first?!

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Timber because of GW31

    2. kempc23
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Chalobah because Rosenior defence has been awful.

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    8-2 this fixture now this season. something something i'd 8ate 2 be....

  24. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    God, feels so good.

  25. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    should beat Chelsea, but please do not slip up against Brighton

  26. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    So yeah.... Enzo to Wilson?

    Spurs are shocking

  27. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Gabriel, Rice, Raya, Ekitike.

    Dreamland.

  28. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Which one?

    Joao Pedro >

    A) Thiago
    B) Ekitike

    1FT

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      I feel like you must have bigger problems. I know I do.
      JP staying for now. He’s scoring goals for fun

  29. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    rice has got 23 points in 4 GWs, 6ppg, with 1 assist

    for a striker to match they'd likely have to score 3 goals in that time

    1. kempc23
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Im holding. At least till 31, maybe thru 31.

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      DC is horse turd. At least next season the DC players will be correctly priced. Anyone fancy 9m Declan Rice

  30. el polako
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Is Gyokeres now on more goals than Own Goal?

    1. kempc23
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      8 plays 6 (I think)
