    So, Spurs players were basically using the UCL as an advert to potential teams to buy them in the summer?

    Back in the league, now no one’s watching, they revert back to type.

    Is that it?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Whatever it is, its a great watch.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1 month, 1 day ago

        I agree.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      They think they’re too good to go down

    Rogers like that ex gf who teased you and kept things kinky, but you know you need to ditch her and settle down with a decent girl.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      I dunno, I kinda like kinky.

      I tried to settle down with someone decent a few weeks ago and I’m still not getting many points

    Safety score for around 100k OR is 59 at it stands 🙁

    Would you survive from a 3 week-break of red color?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

      34 all out here. Will not be logging in for the entire 3 weeks. Life goes on.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Maybe, but I'm not gonna spend any time on it.

    Sumptuous result, Forest!

  12. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    Neco Williams what could have been. Was 0.1 off so ended up on Dalot to enable Gordon. Win some lose some…

  13. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    The only thing that might keep Spurs up is the fact that West Ham are even more crap.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Said this earlier.

      That, really is their only hope.

      That or sacking Tudor during the international break and hoping they get a new manager boost.

  14. g40steve

    Sels is back

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years

      crazy saves

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        He’s looking like last year

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Had him for the whole first half of the season. Think he dropped in value 4 or 5 times too!

  15. FOREST FOREVER 2

    Neco Williams= Legend.

  16. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    53 points, way above average in a blank gameweek and still getting a red arrow (rank in the 700K range). This is rough.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      65 9k rise 30k

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      See above

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Says average is 24 😮

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years

  19. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    Doku and Cherki behind Haaland and Semenyo

    All out attack

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      I remember that chip

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    thats 3 times in the last 6 GWs Anderson has got 5 points with no attacking returns lol

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      The most honest worker in FPL

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        It ain’t much, but it’s honest work

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Which is ridiculous

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      And he's cheap-ish

  21. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    On a WC, just tried to put it together, not even 11 players I want let alone a squad of 15!

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Think I’ll have about 10m ITB when I’m done with mine. The star studded Premier League…

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Same. Guess we pick the 5 we need, and then press auto pick for the rest.

    3. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Maybe target DC magnets like Anderson and Senesi

  22. HD7
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    When are you playing the WC th BB and the FH mates?

    WC32
    BB33
    FH34

    is this the plan?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Which teams are you targeting for the double?

    2. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Waiting till I hear news of the DGW.. Thats my only hope to make massive gains, apart from some lucky random results. I have 5FT's so can hold out on the chips for a bit. But that plan does seem popular from the chatter on the boards yes,

    3. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      That’s my strategy, wildcard already active.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        What’s structure looking like, with or without the Dane?

  23. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    COYG!

  24. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      Its good fun 🙂

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      They did like the Greek Forrest man

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

  25. DARE TO BISCAN

    What's a good score this GW? Started strong. But, now seems a bit disappointing. Imagine everyone's in a similar boat?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      More than 10 points.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        That was deffo worth posting -_-

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      60 and up apparently

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      What did you end at?

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        Looking at 59(-4)

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Just about average.

  26. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 1 day ago

    Spurs looked like a competent outfit against Liverpool. Just saying.

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 1 day ago

      The Liverpool effect

  27. Absolutely Muñozed
      1 month, 1 day ago

      72 all out. Coud;n't enter 100k all thanks to Hill and Thiaw

      1. Absolutely Muñozed
          1 month, 1 day ago

          And apart from Keane none of my player hit defcon. I am going to select lot of players with defcon potential now. Its the season of defcon I guess

        • tutankamun
          • 16 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Good scoring!

          70 for me, another green arrow. Up to 8k overall, nose bleed territory.

        • DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          73 is a good score

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 1 day ago

            *72

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        James Trafford with a triple save….skillz

      3. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        The TV cameras are so low at Wembley. I get they wanted to be closer to the pitch but the angle means that the top 30-40% of the screen is crowd rather than pitch and you can't see where the space is on the pitch.

      4. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 1 day ago

        Hmm will Gordon get 3 bonus points for today?

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 1 day ago

          Looks it
