      4 months, 15 days ago

  7. Raoul Nogues
    4 months, 15 days ago

  8. Jebiga

  10. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    How are Ekitike owners feeling?

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Lucky, that he didn’t get a red/yellow card!

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Better than Watkins owners

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        That’s true!

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        Benched him this week. He hauls for sure.

      3. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        Actually, at the moment I’m feeling glad I didn’t do Watkins to Ekitike now!

    3. JBG
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Personally saw this coming, so meh.

    4. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Fine. 17 points in two games ain't too shabby

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Still happy with his 15 last week.

    6. I have no Wirtz
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Did JP>Ekitike
      Ask me tomorrow

    7. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Awfully let down.

      Pretty much the same feeling as usual as an owner

    8. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Well..add in the fact that Thiago also blanked makes for a fantastic evening for us. FFS

  11. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    It's not bad to dream.

  12. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Liverpool DGW in jeopardy

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    What a complete waste of a transfer.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      True, I almost got Darlow too

  14. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    There were not many that had Ekitike captain right? If yes this is huge for Haaland cappers

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Accidentally made ekiteke vice cap.

      Haaland cap so he really needs to start tomo!

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        He’ll start and score a brace tmo pep has a pep in his step he smells blood

    2. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Loads in my league. I went Robot. Need him to deliver.

    3. Brazooka
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      I suppose Haaland hauls return will be tough for them.

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        This

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Not expecting much from Haaland but Bruno could haul. Couldn’t bring myself to captain him as a Liverpool fan though - always a problem in FPL!

  15. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    R.Gomes 4.4 def playing OOP when he comes on. 2 goals from the bench last 2 games and a good run in.

  16. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Will Alonso's Liverpool win the Europa League?

    1. I have no Wirtz
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Yes, they will

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Probably

  17. Tic Tacs
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Bringing in Konate for Timber instead of doing Palmer to Wilson sums up the shocking decisions of my season

    1. Tic Tacs
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Last gameweek

  18. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Klopp must be a bit annoyed that he didn’t stay for one more season

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      He was burnt out, IIRC

      Slot was a reset button on the squad, with some new ideas that mixed well with Klopp's. Might not have panned out the same way under Klopp

      I still feel all the events of the summer window combined to form the biggest factor against this season

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        Nah with the way the league was last season, Klopp would’ve won that league

        Slot just used his team with slight tweaks

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 15 days ago

          Grav at DM wasn't coming anytime soon, for instance

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 15 days ago

          I agree. Klopp would have walked the league last season too

          1. Nomar
            • 16 Years
            4 months, 15 days ago

            This

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      All this has done is raise Klopp's profile. I'm sure he's not worried. Slot won in massive part due to the squad he inherited from Klopp (although still credit where credit's due).

  19. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Logged on to see my Roefs points... Ffs

  20. Tic Tacs
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    There’s not much Slot can do if his two CBs can’t defend a straight ball over the top

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Same CB’s as last season mind you

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 6 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        A real drop in form from them

  21. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    No livarpool again?
    (remember the start) 🙂

  22. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Ok, serious question. Transfers for Wolves players.

    Do I go Triple Gomes or Double Bueno?

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Depends if you’re winning fpl or not your option is to go triple man United defence

    2. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Kinder Bueno?

  23. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Sick Senesi bencher urrgghh. Should have hedged and played with the Brentford attackers

  24. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Again, I'm a disappointed Thiago owner

    Again, I can't justify a transfer

    Might just bench him for Hill

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      He’s on 18 goals

      A Brentford striker can’t score more than 23/24 goals

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        It is written

  25. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Okay confession time here I'm interested to hear everyone's opinions on this .
    I was undecided who to put first on my bench between Pedro & Tarkowski .
    I consulted AI (Microsoft Copilot) I preferred Pedro as I thought Everton might concede at home due to their poor home record .
    AI put forward a very good case for Tarkowski which convinced me to make him first sub .
    I've got the big 4 injured players in my team Haaland ,O'Reilly ,Rice & Wilson .
    So there's a good chance I'm going to get points off the bench

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Unlucky buddy

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        I never planned to start Tark
        I started VVD ,Gab & O'Reilly for clean sheet plus attacking potential .
        Pedro is second on my bench

        1. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 15 days ago

          What team must you have to bench those two…

          1. keefy59
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 months, 15 days ago

            Team linked if you want to take a look

            1. Qaiss
              • 10 Years
              4 months, 15 days ago

              Everton fan benching Tarky for Van Dijk?

              Shame, shame shame !

              1. keefy59
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 months, 15 days ago

                Sometimes you have to overcome club loyalties & rivalries in FPL
                VVD was the form player going into this gameweek

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Copilot just told me you’re not getting those points! Also said you were a nudist!

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        That's incredible
        How does it know that ?
        Really scary
        The nudist bit I'm talking about

    3. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Guessing AI didn't factor in that Burnley have the worst record for aerial goals conceded, and that Tarkowski is..well..a great aerial threat. Our jobs are safe for the time being

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Should have used Claude.

    5. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      If it gets to the point you’re asking AI for FPL advice, you need to just pack it up

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        Yes but is it any different to getting advice off here or from a content creator
        Plus I didn't have to follow the advice

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 15 days ago

          There’s no social element

  26. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Started Keane (1) - hey I was hopeful.
    Benched Alderete (7).

    I swear Alderete is the bringer of death to me 😆

  27. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Would you BB these subs?

    Dub(BOU)
    Wilson(nfo)
    DCL(cry)
    Chalobah(NEW)

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Yeah looks decent

  28. paulojdsc
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 15 days ago

    Why i started Thiago and benched Senesi?

    🙁

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 15 days ago

      Good decision. DEFCONs are sucking the life out of FPL.

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 15 days ago

        Feel this more and more. Playing cheap defenders with middling CS odds and limited attacking threat just cos they have a 4 point floor just isn’t a fun way to play the game. But watching them regularly outscore your attacking mids is even less fun
