    Seen all of the twitter nonsense, for me I am making my own decision.

    A united lineup or start/not start for a player rarely if ever has been leaked this early for a 3pm kick off before so how can we suddenly know ronaldo is starting and on pens 😆

    use your heads people, don't get caught up in the twitter war to get likes

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Two reliable sources pretty much confirmed it. Good enough for me.

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I just want to know if ESR is starting....

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wise words Bemba

      1. H.E. Pennypacker

        actually, you are correct, this bloke does usually get it right. does he say anything about Sonny for today?

    4. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Couldn’t agree more.

    5. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      the pens bit is probably wrong, but I can almost guarantee he starts with a sub off

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You don't even need an insider to be able to tell Ronaldo. If Ronaldo is on the pitch in whatever team he is in, he takes the penalty, no discussions about it.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ronaldo is the penalty taker*

  3. Henning
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On wildcard would you have Dennis or Toney?

    Sanchez Steel
    TAA Coufal Coady Christensen Livramento
    Sarr Jota Salah Torres Gray
    Antonio Ronaldo ******

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

  4. Gol D Roger
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I’m a United fan but even I’m feeling like aren’t everyone overlooking Salah?

    It’s Leeds, who for their benefit or detriment they play one way and it’s high risk high reward

    Salah Mane Jota is their front 3, which has pace comparable to United and the benefit of Fabinho and co back

    Salah could really haul big,

    At the same time it’s CR7 and he could be silent until the 90th min and get a brace

    Just starting a dialogue cos I’m leaning Salah at the moment

    1. Davros
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve been switching between DCL, Bruno and Salah and think I’ll stick with Salah

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m backing home teams this year for captains

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leeds not conceded more than one at Elland Road except to Everton since start of the year...they're no pushovers. Newcastle are.

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Much easier if you did not WC CR7 in or took a few hits to find yourself in that situation.

      I'm Salah (C) with my RonalNO team 😉
      .. just a second - need to change my diaper.

    5. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Leeds conceded twice at Home to the Big 6 last season

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on Salah for captain with Ronaldo as VC. I may be influenced by being a Newcastle fan and wanting the debut to be a damp squib.

      To be honest, if I had him, Lukaku would be my captain pick, against Villa.

  5. Abra Dubravka
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno/Ings to Ronaldo/Raphinha for -8?

    1. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy talk

  6. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should i go for Sarr or Traore?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      probably

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think Traore.
      Would you go:
      A) Semedo & Traore
      B) Marcal/Dier & Benrahma

      1. Fpl_Ludwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        A

  7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play Livra or Gilmour?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just went from 4k followers to 5.5k within 10 minutes.
      Surely that twitter account knows everything - how come we did not use it much earlier!!!!

  8. DARE TO BISCAN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Help a brother out?

    A) Semedo & Traore
    B) Marcal/Dier & Benrahma

  9. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno and Ings -> Greenwood and CR7 (-4)?

  10. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years

      A

    3. Emp

      A

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  12. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Last thing on WC, what looks best

    A) DCL, Traore & Semedo/Tierney
    B) Jimenez, Torres & Marcel/White
    C) Lukaku, Gray, Semedo & White (removing TAA)

  13. Happyhiccup
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wc play, can’t decide on last combo, thoughts?

    Sa / steer
    Taa / James / _
    Salah / Jota / _ / Raphina
    Antonio / Luka / DCL

    A) dier / Torres
    B) coady / Torres
    C) Duffy / Mount
    D) regulion / Fornals
    E) other 5.5 Def / 6 Mid combo

  14. skybluecam
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have barely looked at anything but what do we think of this WC team?

    Sanchez (Bachmann)

    TAA - Rudiger - Livra (Duffy - Williams)

    Salah - Jota - Torres - Gray (Brownhill)

    Lukaku - DCL - Antonio

    1.1 itb to do Lukaku > CR7 depending on how he plays today. Heavy on 4/4.1 defenders but they should all play.

    GTG?

  15. The Alli Way
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres or Traore?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ferran short term (next 2), Traore will deliver set & forget for his good run of fixtures

    3. Happyhiccup
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Debating the same, with city players returning can see Torres losing his starting place in coming weeks, is it safer to drop to 6mil mid and strengthen defence… where I’m at

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Torres

  16. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    2 reasons Im not getting Ronaldo this gw:
    1. I dont want to mess all my team up with hits or early WC
    2. Premier League is not Serie A or La Liga so I dont expect CR7 hat trick or something like that

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Newcastle would play to fight relegation in those leagues as well, no point in assessing overall quality when you know who the opponents are.
