      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        13 days, 12 hours ago

        An assist from Rogers is a haul.

        Ban this guy instead.

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          13 days, 12 hours ago

  13. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Pep never learns.

    Same set up he played against Madrid at Madrid.

    Out of form Rodri in a one man midfield against Arsenal is crazy.

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Need more from Morgan

  15. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Nearly Rogers again. He’s on fire.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      Pour some water over him quickly.

      1. tutankamun
        • 16 Years
        13 days, 12 hours ago

        Drop and roll

  16. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Tielemans, McGinn etc back from injuries. This Villa team looks decent again.

  17. FOREST FOREVER 2
    • 1 Year
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    As a rogers owener and a Forest fan, I want more Villa goals.

  18. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Get in the bin, Spurs!

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

  19. The Reptile

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years

  22. Nomar

    • 16 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Sadly, West Ham may end up keeping Spurs up.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      West Ham have games where they look like winning though

      Tottenham don’t

  23. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Rogers subbed

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      Clean sheet intact

  24. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Bye forever Rogers

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      Forest next though

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        13 days, 11 hours ago

        Nope. He’s had enough chances and Villa don’t double

  25. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    But there is sound when the adverts come on!

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Tottenham notspur looking well and truly ducked

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      They need relegating

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        13 days, 11 hours ago

        Sadly West Ham might go instead

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      13 days, 12 hours ago

      Kane - Bale - Alli - Eriksen
      to this lot

  27. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Will NEW play GW 34?

    Gordon looking hard to ignore.

  28. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    Sold Rogers and Watkins with 2ft last gw of course

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      13 days, 11 hours ago

      who came in though, Gordon perhaps?

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

        Semenyo and Pedro last gw because they were killing me! I have cover for the blank gw. They both blanked of course.

        Got Gordon for Salah this week

    2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      13 days, 11 hours ago

      Thats crazy. With McGinn back and WHU home

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

        It’s really wasn’t when I owned them since gw20!

  29. HD7
    • 9 Years
    13 days, 12 hours ago

    What strategy would you advice me here mates?
    I will apreciate your input

    WC, BB and FH available*

    Team is:

    Pickford
    Thiaw Virgil Timber
    Bruno Gordon Rogers Wilson
    Thiago Pedro Ekitike

    Dubravka Esteve Miley Gudm

    1 FT 8.8 ITB

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      13 days, 11 hours ago

      Sell Rogers or Ekitike but plenty of time to ponder on options with the next GW 3 weeks away

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        13 days, 11 hours ago

        Thanks. My main Q is should I play the WC now and arrange my team for the remainder of the season?

        BB33 and FH34?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          13 days, 11 hours ago

          I don’t think this needs a WC but if you do can activate closer to the deadline. Squad value and prices are largely irrelevant this season.
