    Will Bruno get a red card retrospectively

    1. The Philosopher
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Should get a black card invented just for him and get banned for 3 seasons.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Wasn’t there meant to be a different card colour implemented that was like a timeout?

        What happened with that I wonder

        1. Three Pints of Schlager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 17 days ago

          It was rebranded to " Hydration break".

    2. Ball Ake
      1 month, 17 days ago

      He should get kicked in the b0llocks retrospectively.

  2. FPL Blow-In

    If Bruno scores the winner there will be uproar

    1. TheBiffas
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Hate the guy but wouldn't be opposed to him scoring me a few points

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki fail

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Subbed

    2. PartyTime
      1 month, 17 days ago

      It lingers yet again

    3. Ball Ake
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Radio5 can't understand it as it's like for like. Come on, Ndiaye works waaay harder off the ball. Good sub.

    4. Wolfman180

      Kept him thinking he'd smash this fixture after everyone sold. Just confirmed to me hes a sell i think

      1. The Philosopher
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Gotta give him Sunderland at home. Certain to start now.

        1. Wolfman180
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 17 days ago

          I dont think you can ever say its certain, and tbh im not so sure that Sunderland game is one to target. Look how much Arsenal struggled against them. Not saying theyre amazing but I dont think hes getting too much out the game even if he does play.

          I thinking moving to MGW might be the better option

  4. Scotty Dog
    1 month, 17 days ago

    92 points with Haaland & wissa remaining. Trip cap palmer ruined the dream.

  5. The Philosopher
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki off.

    Macarena ain't it. Weird sub.

    1. TheBiffas
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Perfectly understandable sub tbh

      1. The Philosopher
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Nah, makes City really impotent now. Could've gone 351 and take off someone else.

        1. TheBiffas
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Cherki gives you nothing off the ball which isn't possible a man down

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            1 month, 17 days ago

            Most #10s don’t.

            Fact is he took off his #10 and replaced him with a winger, so he’s switched things round for no need really.

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        1 month, 17 days ago

        No, Cherki is actually the perfect type of player to have when a man down.

        Say City sneak a goal, he’s then the perfect player to keep the ball and slow the game down.

        Maresca has 100% missed a trick there. Assuming he actually made the decision…

        1. TheBiffas
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Ndiaye can do the same plus offers more defensive work off the ball

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      1 month, 17 days ago

      He doesn’t trust him it seems and more so when they are down to 10 men. Need more off the ball work and he probably thinks Cherki doesn’t offer it

    3. Ball Ake
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Hey, Macarena.

  6. henrysquire
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki hooked

  7. Count of Monte Hristo
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Schade or Tavernier?

    1. Scotty Dog
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Schads

  8. Supersonic_
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki subbed is laughable

    1. PartyTime
      1 month, 17 days ago

      He probably asked Maresca for extra minutes at HT like in the Palace game. Poor lad!

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Indeed it is, Semenyo and Haaland anynoynous first half, one of them should have been hooked instead defo

  9. Sailboats
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki subbed lmfaooo @ owners

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Must say I’m surprised Semenyo wasn’t hooked instead, also Ndiaye’s side

    1. The Philosopher
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Yeah. 351 with O'Reilly coming on for Semenyo was the play. Crazy sub indeed.

      1. The Philosopher
        1 month, 17 days ago

        O'Reilly on for Nunes could've been even better. Both options better than bringing on Ndiaye for Cherki.

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Good shout

  11. Totalfootball
    1 month, 17 days ago

    MGW or Rogers ?

  12. bialk
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki was rival captain. Justice for my Foden red card.

    1. PartyTime
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Lol

  13. Supersonic_
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Cherki, No Gross clan where we at?

  14. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Oh go away Bruno

  15. Pariße
    1 month, 17 days ago

    United finding some rhythm. But they should bring Sesko on for hold-up play and inevitably start spamming crosses.

  16. F4L
    1 month, 17 days ago

    ending 0-0 isnt it

  17. Dacra
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Foden + Cherki dream team

  18. FPL Sanky
    1 month, 17 days ago

    This game has all the makings of a 0-0.....why did I bench Maguire and play Ballard

  19. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    1 month, 17 days ago

  20. g40steve

      1 month, 17 days ago

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      1 month, 17 days ago

    Gallagher looks like a granny these days...crszy

    1. Don Be Zeelly
      1 month, 17 days ago

  27. g40steve

  29. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Surely not onside...

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Wow okay. That's wild.

  30. The Philosopher

    Is that gosl good for us owners but non cappers?

    1. Machine Gun Skelly
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Depends on your rank, people around 300k like me won't have captained him, so I guess kind of good for me
