      Off ability?

  2. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    7 days, 4 hours ago

    Andersen on 6 DEFCON already. Another 4 pointer minimum will do nicely.

    1. Baps Hunter

      He played yesterday and got defcon pts 😉

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 days, 4 hours ago

        Anderson

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        7 days, 4 hours ago

        Forgive the mix up, I own Andersen and Anderson 😆

  3. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    7 days, 4 hours ago

    At least that'll be good for Rogers' XG

  4. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    7 days, 4 hours ago

    Rogers cant even score from 3 yards.

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 days, 4 hours ago

    Rogers extremel close again, goal line clearance from Mavropanos.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      7 days, 4 hours ago

      It's coming

      1. FOREST FOREVER 2
        • 1 Year
        7 days, 4 hours ago

        As an owenr for sometime, I hope it will come before the end of the season.

  6. Count of Monte Hristo

    Rogers to blank again and be booked in the second half. Can’t believe I have held him since GW18.

  7. Raoul Nogues
      7 days, 4 hours ago

      Mavropanos man of the match

      1. Raoul Nogues
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          5 decisive defensive actions

      2. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 days, 4 hours ago

        anywhere else rogers scores ,truly staggering

      3. JBG
        • 7 Years
        7 days, 4 hours ago

        To the guy who asked who to bring in on WC.

        Besides Bruno and 2 Arse defenders, there aren't any "must haves". Because they all stink. What's the opposite of "spoiled for choice"? That's where we are with FPL.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          I'm going Bruno, Gabriel, Raya and then everyone else I can find under 10% EO.

          Have to roll the dice now.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          Semenyo might be worth it still

          Triple Arsenal defence is an option with Raya

          Wilson is okay

          Perhaps some Brighton

          Keep Bruno etc

          Basically clear out those with no value in and wait for the FA Cup

          If you pick on transfers in this Gw you might get a rise or two, regardless

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Gordon definitely for DGW33

            Stick going to punt on Hall, Elanga/Thiaw and Van Hecke, Welbeck possibly Minteh or Verbruggen.

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 13 Years
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              Thiaw is the standout captain in DGW33 imo

              1. Mr. O'Connell
                • 13 Years
                7 days, 4 hours ago

                And I still have my triple...

          2. JBG
            • 7 Years
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Basically proved my point here. Lots of maybes, besides Bruno and Arse defenders.

        3. tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          Gordon?

      4. Absolutely Muñozed
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          Morgan ‘Almost’ Rogers

          1. Sgt. Schultz
            • 9 Years
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            The Uncle Roger Show

        • Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          7 days, 4 hours ago

          Rogers is a poor pick. accumulated a lot of points with unsustainable low percentage shots that dried up expectedly

          shd be smashing the ball 5 yards out with so many players on the goal line. just a very average finisher

          west ham giving chance after chance though so owners might get something still

        • Absolutely Muñozed
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Morgan 0gers

            1. Ignasi M
              • 8 Years
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              lmfao

          • FOREST FOREVER 2
            • 1 Year
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Villa should have been 3-0 up already.

          • Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Raya + Verbruggen the best keepers for BB33?

          • Ignasi M
            • 8 Years
            7 days, 4 hours ago

            Arsenal 0-2 Man City. (Arsenal will set up with a low block but City will score a second when Arsenal push forward in response for an equaliser.)

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 6 Years
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              the last time city beat arsenal xhaka was an arsenal player

            Rogers 0.50 - 0.48 Gordon (xGI)

              7 days, 4 hours ago

              I refuse to regret having kept him for this fixture. Outcome doesn't matter. And I have been benching him before this game.

          • Absolutely Muñozed
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              Any chance of Richarlison scoring today??

              1. tutankamun
                • 16 Years
                7 days, 4 hours ago

                He’s had a few chances already

              2. F4L
                • 11 Years
                7 days, 4 hours ago

                was unfortunate when the ball hit the post, if it came down just abit lower wouldve been a guaranteed goal

            • Bollard
              • 13 Years
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              Has B Fernandez been awarded the Thiaw goal yet?

              1. F4L
                • 11 Years
                7 days, 4 hours ago

                no but he was awarded the assist for sunderland's second goal

            • FOREST FOREVER 2
              • 1 Year
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              Rogers is a true Villain.

            • AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              7 days, 4 hours ago

              Does BB33 lean towards a Leeds defense?

              Not scoring many goals, at all, so keeping it tight v Wolves? They'll need to win that one tho

              Or possibly Burnley as Forest can't score.

              Or even Brentford v Fulham but you'd expect goals there.

              Maybe Darlow + 1, or keep Dub?

              Possibly Villa, Konsa etc at home to Sunderland but they are capable as they showed again today.
