    5 hours, 49 mins ago

    Konsa 1 goal caused, one goal ruined with offside. Great player

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      5 hours, 45 mins ago

      Bet he’ll still end up in lot of teams because of his price

      He’s not displaced mos, just standing in because he’s injured !

  17. Feanor

    The real winners, this week, are the players that didn't play any chips.

    Thought I had a good FH team... would have been better off keeping the same team

    1. fantasyfog
      • 11 Years
      5 hours, 44 mins ago

      TC got me a goal, could be worse

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        5 hours, 42 mins ago

        I take consolation in the fact that someone’s going to play their TC chip and get a blank.

        But, yeah, people who didn’t play a chip this week look like the real winners of GW3.

    Arteta should take Konsa out. He is Chelsea's spy.

  20. All Hail K

    Nothing sucks the joy out of football more than VAR.

    1. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      5 hours, 48 mins ago

      Don’t cry it was miles offside

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        5 hours, 45 mins ago

        Not crying, rules are rules, just miss the days when someone scored and you celebrated. Now you have to keep calm until all the investigations are completed.

    Thank you Konsa!

  22. CoracAld2831

    Arsenal losing their CS is a perfect way to end this gameweek.

    1. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      5 hours, 42 mins ago

      (i own Calafiori and Raya)

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    5 hours, 46 mins ago

    arsenal look like they're gonna score at every set piece already today oof

  24. Deulofail

    Lewis-Skelly Ballon d'Or loading

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      5 hours, 43 mins ago

      England's central midfield depth is disgusting.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        5 hours, 42 mins ago

        Doesn’t matter when the manager picks Henderson over the good ones

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 hours, 42 mins ago

        And that's just Lewis-Skelly!

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 hours, 43 mins ago

      Wouldn't he have to lift a World cup with England first?

    You can't cover the Hull defence with Arsenal defenders. If you want the premium, you have to pay up for Egan.

      This

    Have to say it’s nice of Matty Cash to return Tzolis back to Arsenal.

  27. The Mandalorian

    Calafiori and Gvardiol look to be playing similar attacking positions up front

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 hours, 42 mins ago

      This is the way

    2. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      5 hours, 41 mins ago

      They're both a nice watch, they really get involved up front.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 hours, 38 mins ago

      ngl cala seems in his own class, gvardiol abit more reserved

  28. el polako

    Rogers 1st on my bench coming in for Sangare !
