    I hate Wilson.. Last year I bought him the week after the Chelsea brace and he didn't score for like 10 weeks. And now he's been killing me all season and the week I finally buckle and get him for Arnie he gets injured. Honestly I can't stand his face I'm fuming. I have the worst luck

      Thanks alot for breaking him again!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly the same for me. Trolled me last season, trolled me this season.

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He's streaky

    4. tambourineman
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Exact same, think I'll have to add him to the 'never again' list. It was 12 weeks of blanks last season btw.

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Home to Liverpool wasn’t the best of matches to bring him in tbh

      1. Budweiser
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I know Arnie's fault but I was mainly looking at his form and has good fixtures the next 3

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Scored against City + Arnie injury

    6. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Happens

  2. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    So TAA, Wilson, Son, Sane & Alonso out

    1. Top 210 Club
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Quite possibly.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What’s with the last three?

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What is your point?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        *where is your point?

        Agreed, no full stop at the end is just clumsy punctuation.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Son - could be due a rest with barca but in form
        Sane - mahrez and sterling could be preferred as more defensive, although pep could opt for sterling to lead the line which would mean all 3 start
        Alonso - been in poor form and sarri mentioned Emerson in presser. Although he also said he preferred alonso for his height at set pieces

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      what??

    5. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why sane and Alonso?

    6. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Saari insists Alonso is not too tired to play. He starts.

    7. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Sane alonso? Didnt travel?

    8. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ban

    9. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If Alonso is out I don’t have a team again, not that the 11 I have playing will do much anyway.

    10. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Alonso is very unlikely to be out.

    11. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hang in there lad. There's always next season.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Is that the sound of twanging hammies

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Everywhere you look 😛

  5. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Any Wilson and TAA owners apart from me here?

    Need your support in these dark times.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      yep Alonso and AWB in i hope.

    2. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Im with you fellah

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      TAA prone to rotation from time to time. Comes with the price tag. Had him all season, no point of getting rid now.

    4. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Alonso and AWB owner too. Bennett first on my bench so hoping for a wolves cleanse but knowing my luck they’ll lose 0-1

    5. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Have Alonso, Awb and Camarasa in bench so not too worried.

    6. Volley127
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Got wilson this week and TAA last lol.

    7. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have Wilson. AWB to come in.

      don't have TAA purely because I didn't have enough FT to put him in, already took -4 to get Obama.
      if I was on WC would have got TAA for Robbo. Shows how much luck there is on this game

    8. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I own both but Wilson was on my bench anyway and TAA was a risk for this game... his rest he was supposed to have midweek has moved to now as he has champs league Tuesday then UTD Sunday

    9. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yep and with Duffy out and Kayal dropped I'm a bit thin on the ground for subs and it may get worse.....

  6. Zambian FPL Addict
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    any news on Martial?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bemba posted last page.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not in the United squad today

  7. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Salah lad

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Soldiers him for sterling last night

      Brace inevitable

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sold Him*

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        😆

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      this

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He is getting sold this week Berbs

      Not worth the money

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely not producing 13m worth of points.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      have a feeling this will game will suit him. Bournemouth defensive stats are shoddy to say the least

  8. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Shaqiri doesn't get spoken about much here does he. I'm quite happy to have him atm.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good pick. Seems to be in the points when he plays. Such a good player.

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah seems to have an important creative role in your side.

        I got him in because I planned to dump Salah but still wanted a Liverpool attacker. I think he's great value and is slowly cementing his place in this team.

        Brings good energy and urgency to your 11.

    2. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good pick if you scooped him a couple of weeks ago. I'm too afraid of the rotation to get him now. Would keep if I had

    3. Udo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good point, might be the better chose than Martial atm.

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He's a good wee lad

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think he will start regularly after thechristmas congestion

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I think so yes. His creative numbers are good and I think Liverpool need that this season.

        He can go missing at times in the past so anything can happen but I think it's his place to lose and he seems to be playing with confidence at the moment.

  9. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Any chance TAA will come on or saved for Napoli midweek?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Only if Milner/Fabinho get injured

    3. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Well, I kinda hope not unless its sub 30

    4. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not unless there’s an injury

  10. Numb
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Think a few on here forgot that Fabinho has played much of his football at RB

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A few on here can't even remember why they bring players in as they are constantly bitching about them

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I can't remember if I wore underwear tonight!

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Apparently Klopp confirmed Milner will be RB.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Another option though

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Milner is RB

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Klopp has confirmed that Milner will be right back today

  11. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bottled the auba(c) and went with Kane.. Feeling a bit horrid about it now. Should've just risked it for a biscuit

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm the complete opposite, I'm regretting not going for Kane (c)

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Haha.. Time will tell.

    2. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They'll probably both score

    3. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Was in the same boat, went the reverse. A peculiarity of FPL that whatever you choose you feel like you chose wrong. We shall see.

    4. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Did the same-good chance of Kane points so an Auba hatful will have limited pain whereas a 1 point cameo if he is rested could hurt. I think with all the rotation you need to go with someone who is seemingly more nailed.

  12. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What a great start. Wilson and TAA owner here.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same.. Just hoping there are no more surprises today though filly expecting some as a Sane and Auba owner

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Captained auba. Expecting him to be benched now

    2. Jaok
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      WC to wilson and trent.

  13. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A bit afraid seeing Mark, Joe and David all went Salah (C). Went Lacazette. A bit risky

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      still updating?

      1. Plymouth

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      You should only worry about your own team. They make mistakes too.

      1. Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Ok

    3. 3hoursleep
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I bought Aub AND Lacazette this week; opted for (C) Lacazette based on threat of Aub rest / limited pitch time. Bricking it!

  14. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Wilson "injured" whilst packing his bags for Stamford Bridge?

  15. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is it time to activate WC?

    Fabianski, Patricio
    Laporte, Robbo, Kola, Bennett, AWB
    Sterling, Hazard, Richarlison, Fraser, Højbjerg
    Kane, Lacazette, Jimenez

  16. Jafooli

    This is exactly why I have Obiang......perfect replacement for Wilson & TAA.....

  17. Piggs Boson

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Casualty should do a December edition where the hospital is just filled with football players. Way too many games.

    1. Jafooli

      This

  19. bialk
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    TAA is far better option than Robertson, but only when Milner is injured.

    1. Udo
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      That doesn't make to much sense to me?

    2. bialk
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      On all set pieces when Milner not playing.

  20. Big_Andy_GAWA

    A) Ht pool 3 Burnley 0

    TAA stays on bench

    B) 23 mins, TAA on
    Ft pool 2 Burnley 0

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think that's not how Burnley match went

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No way Trent comes on again before 30 mins, the chances of that have to be ridiculously low.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        They're playing Bournemouth btw

  27. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jeez stop crying everyone. Players rarely play 38 games. Get a subs bench or stop bleating

    1. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Unfortunately it's a perfect storm-2/3 players injured/banned in same gameweek others are rested.....

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Everyone should know it's coming in December. More injuries, more rotations. It's part of the game and people need to accept it and rise to the challenge

  28. R.C
    • 6 Years
