    At least my last minute bench change was to start Dallas over Coufal and not Soucek (he was already benched)

        It's the future that counts in fpl

      Ahh lovely Raph, makes me feel a touch better about benching Soucek

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gutted about benching Soucek (not even first sub)
      Just as gutted about wasting BB last week instead of this week

      Soucek a must vs Liverpool next week
      451 with Kane is probably the way to go!

    5. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Just dive and win a pen Shelvey

    6. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Before I even look at any comments here, it’s a hat trick isn’t it?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope

        Oooohhh Cresswell. Nice! And a Raphinha assist in the other game. Nice!

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

    10. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thought that was Soucek again

    11. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Played Harrison instead of Soucek
