    Rogers robbed

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      Off ability?

  2. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

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

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He played yesterday and got defcon pts 😉

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 26 days ago

        Anderson

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 26 days ago

        Forgive the mix up, I own Andersen and Anderson 😆

  3. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    At least that'll be good for Rogers' XG

  4. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Rogers cant even score from 3 yards.

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Rogers extremel close again, goal line clearance from Mavropanos.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      It's coming

      1. FOREST FOREVER 2
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 26 days ago

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

  6. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

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

  7. Raoul Nogues
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Mavropanos man of the match

    1. Raoul Nogues
      3 months, 26 days ago

      5 decisive defensive actions

  8. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    anywhere else rogers scores ,truly staggering

  9. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 26 days 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
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 26 days 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
      3 months, 26 days 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
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 26 days 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
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 26 days ago

          Thiaw is the standout captain in DGW33 imo

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 14 Years
            3 months, 26 days ago

            And I still have my triple...

      2. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 26 days ago

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

    3. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      Gordon?

  10. Absolutely Muñozed
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Morgan ‘Almost’ Rogers

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      The Uncle Roger Show

  11. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 26 days 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

  12. Absolutely Muñozed
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Morgan 0gers

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      lmfao

  13. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Villa should have been 3-0 up already.

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Raya + Verbruggen the best keepers for BB33?

  15. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 26 days 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
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      the last time city beat arsenal xhaka was an arsenal player

  16. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Rogers 0.50 - 0.48 Gordon (xGI)

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

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

  17. Absolutely Muñozed
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Any chance of Richarlison scoring today??

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      He’s had a few chances already

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

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

  18. Bollard
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Has B Fernandez been awarded the Thiaw goal yet?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

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

  19. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Rogers is a true Villain.

  20. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 26 days 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.

  21. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Anderson DC

    1. FOREST FOREVER 2

      The sky is blue.

      1. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 26 days ago

        Curiously enough, he had got them in just 1 of his last 3 games before today.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 26 days ago

      This adds up over a season…

      1. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 26 days ago

        2/3 of an assist almost every game

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 26 days ago

          60% of the time, he returns every time.

  22. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 26 days ago

    Rogers fooled us all with those back to back braces a few moons ago.
