    Anyone keeping all their Arsenal assets for Everton in GW30?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Think so

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Yes.

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Only have Gabriel to keep

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        This. I've sold all of the other guys.

    4. Babit1967
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Gabriel & Timber and yes

  2. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 29 days ago

    Anyone know why Roefs not in the squad ?
    At least I've got the reliable ? Sanchez on my bench

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Hamstrung

  3. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 29 days ago

    Lets hope newcastle beat city and we dont get a haaland dgw this season

    only way to salvage this season is a differential TC pick that actually works out

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      I was going to say a Haaland TC might not be the worst after people TC’d Gabriel in the Arsenal double.

      But then everyone would have him captain anyway so ya you’re right.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        yeah the gains are limited when everyone has ur TC as their normal captain. remember a few seasons ago TCing kdb for 4 goals when most didnt even have him. that was worth 5 weeks to Green arrows

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          You have given me false hope

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          I remember TCing KDB for 1p. Some people have all the luck

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            i agree i have been very lucky with TCs. not had single digit TC score since the chip was introduced

    2. Moon Dog
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Newcastle haven't won a single Premier League game Bruno G hasn't started.
        2 draws, 4 losses.

        Pep needs to play kids for Newcastle to have a chance surely.

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Ready to be destroyed with Bruno (c) over Haaland and no Semenyo

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Newcastle have conceded six in the last two homes games to Brentford and Everton

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          My only hope

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Is this Sunderland keeper any good? Wondering if we might see a lot of goals in this game.

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Let’s go Gudmundsson!

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          He is currently on for a BP!

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            Good man son

      2. Domo
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        As a Sunderland fan, no clue.

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Who drops out when Wirtz is back?

      Szobo is probably our player of the season, so not him

      Gakpo?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Yeah, Gakponi reckon

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Gakpo

    6. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Those who captained Haaland.

      Congratulations on the haul.

      I'm the only one in my mini league wjo captained Semenyo.

      All the others captained Haaland.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        i have also gone semenyo and usually have a good record with captains so dont worry

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          Love the confidence 😆

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        As long as you've got him that's not too bad if he hauls

      3. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Also gone Semenyo, everyone above me in my ML has gone Haaland. Fearing the worst.

    7. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Whilst waiting for the matches to kick off managed to pick a team for the Eliteserien fantasy and set up my fantasy F1 team!

    8. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      No goals yet. Booooooo.

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        KDH brace loading

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          Yes please! I captained him.

    9. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Brentford's long throws surely good for Senesi DC points

    10. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Isak has been some signing for Liverpool….all the baggage & perma-injured.

      Worst signing of the season for any club?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Oh and that price lol

      2. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        absolute nonsense. hes a future proof signing for when Salah moves on.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          Hahahahahahaha

          1. Total Slotball
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            Isak went on strike and had no pre season. He got injured in the act of scoring. The attack will look completely different when Mo Salah moves on.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              2 months, 29 days ago

              Sorry I’m still laughing

              1. Total Slotball
                • 10 Years
                2 months, 29 days ago

                should probably go see a doctor mate. might be a problem

                1. x.jim.x
                  • 11 Years
                  2 months, 29 days ago

                  Be lucky to get an appointment in front of your £150m star signing who’s definitely not a flop

                2. Feanor
                  • 16 Years
                  2 months, 29 days ago

                  Joking about doctors and problems when Isak has played 10 games all season

      3. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        isak is easily the worst signing purely based on his injury record.

        player is no use if he is not available. spending 100M + on a player with such a questionable injury record was bonkers, and it came back to bite them

      4. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        By a country mile. Could even argue the worst in Prem history.

        1. Total Slotball
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          Man Utd fan talking about worst PL signings ahaha, heard it all

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            What's the worst man united signing pit of curiosity? Hard to think of worse signings than Isak. Only one i can't think of is Andy Carroll

          2. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            Even if you ignore the price, our biggest stinkers like Sancho, Alexis, and Antony contributed to something at least.

    11. Total Slotball
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Haaland is fit to start and will be in the in the matchday squad.

      The rest is down to Pep.

      https://x.com/FPLMaineRoad/status/2028918003006398532?s=20

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Gotta start the surely…why wouldn’t he?

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        This would have been useful for me before the deadline.

      3. JBG
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Content cucks probably knew this already, hence why they Cd him

        1. iFash@FPL
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          They obviously all had that info confirmed.

    12. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      A Semenyo benching and a Haaland haul tomorrow would be enough for me to delete my team.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        And enough for me to be somewhat pleased with this game again

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Bookmarked

      3. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Whinging has started and we’re only 21 minutes into the games being played

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          You sound surprised

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 29 days ago

            Haha

    13. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Where's the bloody goals

    14. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Leeds are all over Sunderland like a rash, but no shots on target yet.

    15. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      I just realised that I may have screwed my season. No Haaland, no Semenyo means that with bad luck they do what Son and Kane once did. Selling Haaland for C Ekitike feels like a risk far too big now.

    16. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      New dango owner.
      Not impressed so far!

    17. F4L
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      nearly 20 mins in and no ones taken a shot in bou brentford match

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        I was promised at least 8 goals

    18. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Sunderland back-up keeper already has cramp.

    19. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      KDH missed a shot from the top of the box

    20. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Looking like KDH captain was a bad choice.

    21. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      All players tired from GW28 games……

    22. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Dubravka down

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        he's all right

    23. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Dub down

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        And up

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Bass & drums up…

    24. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Errr where’s Roefs??

      Going to need Dubravka this week!

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        His wife probably had a baby. All the goalie wags are doing it

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          We need xbd stats
          Expected babies due

    25. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Why isn't Saka in the predicted line-ups?

      What an I missing

      Is he out, out?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Ask Micky Flanagan

      2. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Will be angry if he doesn’t start. He can’t keep bottling games when he’s our highest earner

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        "while we've frequently seen Arteta protect Bukayo Saka in quick turnarounds, which could let Noni Madueke in"

      4. Nightcrawler
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        he will start unless i have missed some injury news

    26. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Watching the "goal show". lol @ the PL

    27. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Got the Brentford Bournemouth game on but it’s been so uneventful I ended up watching a Harry Kewell 96-03 compilation instead.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Without the injuries I presume?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 29 days ago

          It didn’t include his move to Liverpool so no

    28. Hazardous1221
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Completely missed the deadline, will this team survive lol

      Verbruggen
      Gabriel, Andersen, Hill
      Palmer (V), Bruno F, Mbeumo, Rice, Anderson
      Haaland, Kroupi

      Dubravka, Chalobah, Keane, Mane

    29. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 29 days ago

      Stach up to 5 defcons

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Thats why i started him.. need 7 more

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

      3. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 29 days ago

        Good, played him over Roger’s
