What latest Double Gameweek announcements mean for our FPL squads

Both of Manchester United’s Double Gameweeks have been confirmed after details of their rearranged games were revealed on Friday afternoon.

The Red Devils were waiting on new dates for the Blank Gameweek 31 visit of Manchester City to Old Trafford and the Blank Gameweek 33 trip to Wolves.

The first of those has been pushed right back into Double Gameweek 35 and will be played on Wednesday, April 24.

The second of those, the trip to Molineux, has been brought forward into Double Gameweek 32, to be played on Tuesday, April 2.

That means we now know the schedule for the remainder of Manchester United’s season.

Their Double Gameweeks will look like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Watford (home) + Wolves (away)
Double Gameweek 35: Everton (away) + Manchester City (home)

The first of those looks more appealing than the second, with Paul Pogba (£8.8m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.8m) looking almost essential for Double Gameweek 32, possibly even Triple Captain candidates.

For now, we only have one set of Double Gameweek fixtures for Manchester City which looks like this:

Double Gameweek 35: Tottenham (home) + Manchester United (away)

If Manchester City win their FA Cup quarter-final against Swansea, that will add a Gameweek 33 home match against Cardiff to their list of psotponed fixtures.

With Double Gameweek 35 now already taken for them, it could mean we have an opportunity to pig out on their assets in Double Gameweek 32 with Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home) the potential cannon fodder.

As for Wolves, their Double Gameweek 32 looks like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Burnley (away) + Manchester United (home)

Currently outstanding for Wolves is their postponed Gameweek 31 meeting with Arsenal.

With Double Gameweek 32 now taken up for them, it is probable that this will move to Double Gameweek 35. If that were to happen, then they would have a nice looking set of doubles that week of Brighton (home) and Arsenal (home).

The Premier League have confirmed that there will be no more Double Gameweek announcements until after the FA Cup quarter-final matches on March 16 and 17, which coincide with Blank Gameweek 31.

    Is Boruc nailed on a starter for whole season ?

      If you have to ask then probably not... however, with GKs its usually a case of it's their spot to lose until they make a couple of howlers in succession.

      I will probably bring him in soon as GW 31/33 cover

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years

        Thx mate- I have no GK to play in BGWs and that's d reason for asking if he is guaranteed to start

    2. JELLYFISH

      I’m considering bringing him in this gw to cover Fab (Citeh away)

        bournemouth have arsenal away and are atrocious away from home?

          You need to examine Bournemouth post Begovic and Clyne included. The most frustrating thing about owning Begovic was he made no saves. Boruc had 7 against Chelsea and 6 against Liverpool. Arsenal are not an attacking force like Liverpool

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I understand boruc if u have a keeper who blanks gw31 and gw33 else it's absolutely no need.Flappy will get loads of saves anyway.Eg:city win 4-0 and flappy 6 saves,arsenal 2-0 with boruc 3 saves u get net 2 anyway

    3. Business Cat

      I'll monitor him. He's probably my best choice for a 31/33 keeper
      - can't get Allison, already have 3x pool
      - Heaton too expensive
      - already got Pereira...don't want a defensive double-up with Schmeichel

      ...so I hope he keeps his place

  2. Ambrosiana Inter

    Are hits taken away straight away from raking or are they deducted at the end of the gameweek?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They are updated in league table so I guess it's the same for rankings

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Straight away.
      Last points update 9 hours ago had last nights two matches + all hits taken

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      OR after first update, WR doesn't take hits into account at all.

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      At the start

      So if you scored 4 points yesterday and had one hit (-4), your new overall score this morning would show unchanged

        Unbelievable!

        F****** hell is this black magic or what?

  4. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Given the confirmed DGW 32 matches, if I currently own Pogba, Rashford, Jimenez, Doherty, 3xLiverpool and 2xWest Ham players... Then I'm better off FH31, WC33 and keeping the ManU and Wolves players right?

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That sounds sensible to me. Let’s you build your team for the double in 32.

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I a similar position

      Definitely FH32:
      - bench Pog, Rash, Jimi that week and play Doh
      - put out 9/10 players GW31, you've already got 5
      - use FTs in the run up to GW31, get some Leicester players in.

      FH32 cos you're gonna want 3x Man City for DGW32...they have the nicest fixtures.

      Then your GW33 team is still OK, cos the same teams blank in GW31 & GW33 pretty much

      1. SomeoneKnows
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Suppose I do it your way, when do I use my WC?

        Why not FH31 and until then load up on Man City players for free?

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You could do that.

          However you've already got 3x Liverpool players, away at Fulham in GW31, that's the majority of your points right there. So you're FHing in GW31 is basically being used to ram your team full of probably low scoring assets from LEI, NEW, BOU, BUR... to fill out your team.

          Would you not prefer to FH in DGW32 in order to bring in 3x City, 3x United, and some others to field a full team of doublers (not just 6-7 DGW players, ALL DGW players). Far more upside!

          Plus, if you set up your actual team for GW31, it's still good for GW33 too.

          If you FH31 and build for DGW32, your GW33 team is a disaster zone. Even if you WC33 to put out a team in GW33, that team is a pile of crap for DGW35 when you're probably gonna BB?

          So, my strategy (and many people's):
          - build for GW31/33
          - FH32 for 11 DGW players
          - WC34
          - BB35

          Benefits:
          - 2 optimal teams full of DGW players for 32 and 35
          - construction of those teams left til the latest possible date - more information, less unknowns
          - GW31/33 are navigable without taking many (if any) hits, you won't lose much (if any) ground to FH31'ers
          - FH31'ers will likely lose ground to you in GW33

            nicely put together, you know I have been looking for something that works long term , this makes the most sense to me after reading through.
            I'll most definitely be implementing this strategy.

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That sounds logical. Can I ask, do you still have your WC?

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Yep. Will WC34, BB35

    3. Mweene
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've been playing with this idea.

      Advantage - you can triple cap in a DGW

  5. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    My squad feels like it needs a shake up. Want Danilo out, but planning for GW31... any advice here?

    Alison
    Kola Doherty Lascelles
    Salah Pogba Son Jota Anderson
    Firmino Rashford

    Hamer Ings Bennett Danilo

    1. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4 million ITB. Thinking Danilo and Anderson to Chilwell and Hazard.

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        at least wait until after todays PL and Cup final matches...but seem like decent moves yes.

  6. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea Speroni
    Doherty Pereira VVD Laporte Bednarek
    Salah Mane Son Richarlison Anderson
    Jimenez Rashford Rondon

    How does this sound with no WC?

    GW28 - Speroni > Boruc & BB also meaning now have a gk to cover DDG in the blanks
    GW31- will be able to field 11 players by using 1 FT between now and then
    GW32 - FH for the 1st DGW
    GW35 - TC for the 2nd DGW

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yeah looks like a plan. Next GW might be the best BB week for your team indeed....at least looking until GW34

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If Boruc continues to play

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It's tedious people saying he won't based on nothing. No article link. No Bournemouth fan opinion. Begovic being horrendous and clashing with the manager after being dropped etc

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Just a risk, Boruc could have an awful game and the situation gets turned on it’s head

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I've seen comments that he let 3 in against Liverpool so is on chopping block when reports of match and fan reaction is had really good game and prevented it from being a lot more

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Well pool could score that against anyone. My comment was merely IF, as in it’s something to be aware or cautious of but otherwise certainly an option

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            All that aside plays or dropped he's the only very cheap keeper currently playing and most people looking at him are getting him in for Hamer Button Speroni so it's moot if he gets dropped and gigantic upside if plays 31 33

  7. Bobadoba
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lacazette and Mane out for Aguero and a 7.5 mid like Richarlison?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Bobadoba
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why not? Aguero could do very well. Maybe another hatty.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Agree, but the idea of bringing in rich is awful - plus mane is playing well and a good option for the blanks, whilst Lacazette has a good fixture also

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking Laca and Son out for Aguero and Almiron/Fraser. Agree getting Aguero is worth the downgrade elsewhere but I wouldn't touch Richarlison

    1. Flynniesta

      Due to WanB’s injury I took my 1st hit of the season to bring Anderson in for Rich...out of the full English frying pan..

  10. LaLaLand
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    for those with all chips remaining and planning on FH GW32, WC GW34, BB/TC GW35 - need some advice

    So I know we should be targeting Liv/Leic/Bourn/Newc players as they play both blank GW 31/33

    However which assets are best to lose in order to do so ?

    Fab/Hamer
    Shaw Kola Doherty AWB Schindler
    Pogba Son Salah Fanderson Hojberg
    Rashford Auba Jimenez

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of those, I'd keep Pog, Rash for definite, Jimi, Doh possibly.

      Ditch the Arsenal

      Convert Son to Mane ahead of GW31

      You've likely got a LOT of value tied up in them, selling then buying back will be painful or not possible

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea play both blanks as well.

      I'd say have 2 FT come GW31 so you can make at least 2 last minute changes. Could lose Shaw, AWB, Auba...maybe Rashford, Jimenez.

      And getting 9 players out in GW31 seems enough

  12. Rash
    • 6 Years

    Really annoyed at myself for bringing in Felipe Anderson. Very short sighted move as I'll be benching him midweek anyway.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How is that short-sighted?.I also bought and planned to bench this gw then u have 3 really good fixtures and gw33 too

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Made sense before Fulham, dont beat yourself up.

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      yes, I captained him as well...too much playing the fixture. Will bench as well next GW but def keeping him until GW31, not wasting another FT to get him out

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I went for Arnautovic and nearly captained him cos I felt like a punt against Fulham.

      Don't beat yourself up.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He scored more than the Fanny.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I took the captain off and put it back on Son when the predicted line-ups all had him benched 🙂

          Never really got the FAnderson bandwagon TBH.

          For my team personally, I had the following choice for GW31/33:
          - Firmino & FAnderson, or
          - Mane and Arnautovic

          ...hands down it's option 2 I wanted, so I moved Firmino to Arnie specifically before Fulham (while Firmino will likely do nothing at United)

  13. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a possibility of dgw after gw35 or we if we don't use till then resigned to salah gw36 in a sgw

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *triple captain I mean*

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kane vs Huddersfield in GW34 also a TC option in a SGW

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Salah at Fulham in GW31 another one

        2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Will wc that week tho

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      maybe one of the Brighton fixtures...but too much speculation to be even sort of sure. Probably we'll know more after GW31.

    3. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So basically those with TC (like me) ferked up a little bit

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah...hindsight of course

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      IF Brighton advance into SF they are bound to have 2 dgw's.
      Duffy TC ???

    May I ask why people here are normally so scared of doing -4s but for blank gameweeks, it is encouraged?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If you can’t field 11 the impact is more -2 than -4

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      if that player wont play in both BGWs...taking a hit for a player who does play in both seems somewhat reasonable I guess

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In normal gameweeks, you're taking a hit to take out one playing player for another (normally)...it's cost is 4pts

      In a blank GW, you're probably bringing in a playing player for a non-playing player (probably)...you could argue it's 4pts - 2pts (for appearance) = 2pts cost overall

      So hits are "cheaper" in the 2nd scenario

      1. Pocky

        Indeed. Ditching Utd/Wolves assets for hits in preparation for 31/33 seems to make sense. The only negative is if you've had them a long time & will lose heavily on them moneywise.

      Left it to last 10 mins to do AWB>Rice or Diop. Went Rice. Cost me -2 and no AWB who costs 4.6m to buy back instead of 4.3m I got for him but was worried Snodgrass wouldn't start and only 8 players this week. In hindsight would've kept AWB but if went with Diop would've felt like a genius

    So, that's it.
    We won't know dates for the rest of the recsceduled dgws until after gw31.

    There is an international break between 31 and 32, so I guess the chances are majority of them can still be slotted into 32 with enough warnings

    2. bitm2007

      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's almost certain that City/Car would be in DGW32 and Wolves/Ars will be in DGW35, the rest of the games to be rearranged could go in either DGW

      It depends on your team and strategy.

      not the best, but a decent option

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I just see that as being a problem for 33. 31 players play 33. Not seen a viable 33 team posted using 31FH to convince me otherwise

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that is the huge issue.

          Alternative I've thought about is less than 11 team in 31 FH in 33. Haven't done any research though

            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I disagree. I will have 7 DGW players, Salah, Robertson (Great fixtures) and a couple others with great fixtures. Depending on fixtures I may even use my TC.

    4. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could be...

  17. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson
    Doherty - Robertson - Shaw
    Pogba - Salah - Sane - Son
    Aguero - Rashford - Jimenez

    Button - Schlupp - AWB - Camarasa

    0.5m bank
    0 FT

    I am going dow a different route than most and playing FH in 31. Hoping to make some progress, whilst keeping my value, over those who are dead-ending their team over the next few weeks. I am hoping I get the doubles I want in GW32 before playing my WC in GW33.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good planning. Can definitely work.
      I'm going FH 32 way.
      Currently have 6 player's from gw 31.
      Will get
      Higuain,Barnes,Fraser definitely for auba/kun, Kamara,Jota

      Have Auba atm. Thinking about getting Kun next gw.
      So remaining 3 FT could lead me to 9 in gw 31.

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I can see the logic in those moves. Higuain is a step down for me but if you get him the week of GW31 you haven't lost anything. The other 2 are fair switches. At least you aren't decimating your team in the process.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah.
          Can always go
          Hazard/Wilson instead of Higuain/Fraser.
          Will wait till late as possible.

          1. Demel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I probably prefer that combo myself.

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah.
              I can't decide right now, but will get kun & Save FT & pull the trigger in gw 30/31.

              Cheers mate 🙂

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I listened to guy on FPL Surgery podcast and feel exactly the same way as he discussed. Could play FH in 31 to get players in fixtures not really keen on and get 10-20 above the average then see screenshots of people that FH 11 players that all have DGW in 32 and instant reaction is uh oh

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly. I think people have been over thinking this and jumped to the wrong conclusion. People seem to be filling their team full of mid table also ran players. I will keep my heavy hitters. We will all have similar teams again in GW33 I just will hopefully have overtaken a few in the meantime.

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *Button is actually Fabianski.

  18. Yome
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Having 3 Man U and 2 Wolves, the plan is to bench them on BGW31. That means I could end up with a max. of 6 players for BGW31...

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well then Free Hit.

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No WC left so I should use it for one of the DGWs

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I’ve no WC so I’m setting up my team to have cheap playing options for 31 & 33 - mainly by switching out wolves assets who have che blank bur Utd

          1. Yome
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            when do you plan to play your FH? I would like to keep Doherty. Jimenez could go for a BGW31 and 33 player

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              32 - since it’ll give the highest potential ceiling.

              31 I expect to have 9 players

        2. Demel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I would largely ignore the blanks/doubles and go pick the best players. Then FH in the week which causes most issues. That may be GW31.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially you only need to get the right C in BGW. It was mentioned this was the case last year with Salah C in BGW and seem to recall I did this

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes it will be Salah C against fulham for sure

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          That's probably better than vs Hudd

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why bench them all - wolves fixtures turn also

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think you can get away with 7-8 player's.
      Who else you have from United other than Pogba, Rashford ??
      I'd lose him to get a bgw player

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have Lindelof, I could sell him for Pereira for instance

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'd do that.
          FH in gw32 can be great instead of bgw. You can easily get the points you lose for playing less player's

  19. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Do we know how long AWB is out for?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nit a major injury i think.
      But since gw 28 is midweek he'll miss it imo

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No timeframe. But suspect he'll be a doubt for gw28 on wed vs manu

    3. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hammy. It maybe a few weeks. As long as he is back for 32 then that is fine for me.

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        if he's confirmed out for GW29 and 30 then I probably sell him, as these were the only GWs I planned on playing him. Will FH in 32...might get him in for that GW, but probably too many other good options then.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He he.
      Would take that even if i have him.
      As I've © Auba & Rival in ML Don't have Auba & © Son.

      He'll score a goal though imo

    2. bitm2007

      Build team for GW31 and GW33, FH32, use FT's after DGW's are known with GW35 BB in mind. If Brighton beat Millwall, use TC in 4th DGW or on Salah in GW36 (HUD)

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Currently got most players who has double games on week 32 - so shipping them out to prepare for gw31 and again bring them back for 32 using free hit feels wrong 🙂

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      I misguidedly used mine

      I’m switching out wolves assets and improving bench players to navigate 31 & 33

      FH 32 since it looks like the best DGW

      Bench boost 35

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        My cash league is too ruthless. Not using WC in tandem with DGWs is a season write off

          Indeed, proper messed up this season with rash transfers. But will battle to the end and try to make better decisions next year - GW 35 is going to hurt a bit.

    4. Guidinho

      Had a 2 year hiatus and pulled it in a panic on the last GW in Jan without realising the rules had changed! Regretting it now although did reap significant rewards at the time of using it.

    Ideal outcome for the utd/pool game..2-2

    Pogba goal,
    Rashford goal
    Salah goal
    Firmino goal
    Robertson assisting both goals

    Not asking for much.

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years

      Weird feeling as a big Utd fan but I could do with a Salah hatty!

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d take that variations to the above

      3-2

      Pogba rash 2goals 2assists
      Don’t care who gets the third as long as pool lose and Utd destroy their title hopes

      Salah goal, TAA goal and assist

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hell yeah 😉

      2. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I own Shaw, Robertson, Salah, Rashford, Pogba. I can't work out if I prefer 3-3 or 0-0! In reality United keeping a clean sheet probably suits me best with a 3-0 win with goals for Pogba and Rashford.

        WC 34
        BB 35

        Currently I have 6 players for 31 and 8 for 33. Might -4 to make that 7.
