    This is a classic example of how despite how much we all stress over every spot in our team it’s your captain that will make or break your week.

    1. Kroenius
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Yeah. I thought my Haaland over Bruno captaincy was fine, then he does this

  4. gooberman

    Where is the Mbuemo assist? Shot blocked and Fernandes scored the rebound.

  5. Randy_Marsh

      1 month, 21 days ago

  6. Ignasi M
    1 month, 21 days ago

    Easy sell for MGW.

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Should have a goal in all fairness. Let's see how long that miss haunts him...

      1. Bobby Digital
        1 month, 21 days ago

        Didn't haunt him long

  11. FCSB

    So disappointed I started De Cuyper over Calafiori, should’ve just gone for triple ARS defence with Raya and White… what was I thinking 🙁

    1. DRIZ ✅
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Yes that is poor management

      1. FCSB
        1 month, 21 days ago

    2. Zalk

      1 month, 21 days ago

      1 month, 21 days ago

      Nah
      3 goals over 2 games against newly promoted sides is about what you’d expect from 12m asset.

      Congrats, a great score! Any more left?

  15. Machine Gun Skelly
    1 month, 21 days ago

    So pissed off right now.

    Got on the website 2 mins before the deadline.

    Realised it was an easy roll anyway.

    Then thought I changed to Bruno as captain, but actually changed to vice-captain instead.

    Not a bad week overall, but everyone in my mini-league captained Bruno.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Lovely

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 21 days ago

      I don't own him

  16. Zimo
    1 month, 21 days ago

    But Mbeumo covers Bruno

    1. DRIZ ✅
      1 month, 21 days ago

      They didnt listen to me

    2. FantasyTony
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Only with his massive arse

  17. Jstap94

    1 month, 21 days ago

    Haaland TC against Ipswich looking a lot more appealing now

  18. The Philosopher
    1 month, 21 days ago

    Surely a rage WC is not the way to go? Think we can wait till GW5 without further damage from Bruno and that might be the optimal time to set the team up till GW19 at least. Also gives us more data before WCing.

    Dorgu on - bench boost intact !

  20. Bobby Digital

  21. Pompel

    1 month, 21 days ago

    Bruno and Haaland owners - still holding both?

    1. Calafiornication
      1 month, 21 days ago

      Good question

  22. F4L
    1 month, 21 days ago

    bruno's playing like someone who just broke the assist record, now he wants the goal record.....

    neck and neck with haaland for golden boot? 😉

    i saw someone here talking about Gwardiol captain before the GW.
    Hope he didn't go with that plan.

  28. CoracAld2831
