      LoL

      Would be nice

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      LOL … 1 minute after he comes off the bench please …

    3. FourLokoLeipzig

      When he gets into a fight with Bruno after trying to take the penalty off him against Ole’s orders, leading to a club suspension

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      After a missed penalty.

      1. One More Hit
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        And an own goal in frustration, right?

    5. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Have him as Captain. Would still be funny.

    6. TKC07

      Possible when Greenwood Taps in a long range rebound shot from Ronaldo.. 😀

    Just looked at Sou vs W’ham oh dear plenty of 3 - 0 to W’ham should’ve kept it on Tonio!!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      look at away results, not many goals

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        I’m on Bruno this week, resisted the CR7 move.

  3. Pranked
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Played my WC in week 3 like a true pro, brought in CR7 for Kane and didn't captain him. My team is a shambles without TAA and Salah, but maybe lukaku scores a brace and everyone else blanks and all will be forgotten. Gotta love FPL

  4. Piggs Boson
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    I had to get Ronaldo. I just had to.

    1. Mika-eel
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Decided against last minute and went Lukaku. Nervous times ahead. good luck for the game week GB.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Good luck to you too!

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Less stressful that way!

    3. Chill, we'll call you
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Mmmm. I have a self-control course you should buy. It's not chap, but you really need it, and you know you have no choice. Please provide your credit card details here.

      SIU in Portuguese denotes mating by some kind of species.

    Barnes 》Sarr

    Salah (c).

  11. OneArseneWenger32
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Went Mount over Jota last minute and I’m at peace about it actually.

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      What counts is if you are at peace with it after the match!

      1. OneArseneWenger32
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Especially the Pool match yes!

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    that fixture swing in GW7 is crying out for a WC … oh wait 🙂

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      What would be your draft WC week 7?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        depends on form and injuries at the time … 😉

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      It’s really just Chelsea right? Or am I missing another swing? Think I’m gonna use my free transfers to get in Lukaku, James, and Mount over the next couple of weeks, then wait until GW13

      1. OneArseneWenger32
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Exactly…kind of why I just did mount on wildcard so it’s just kaku and the Chelsea wingback who emerges by then

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        two angles to it - teams with good fixtures and teams with bad fixtures

      3. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        My plan as well. Currently have Christensen and money in the bank to upgrade to James or Chilwell. Jota to Mount when Firmino is back. Ronaldo to Lukaku as when.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Or might decide 2 Chelsea defs plus Lukaku is the way to go by then.

      4. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        I agree with this.

  13. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Hopefully he gets less than 3 attacking returns

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Who?

  14. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Any decent budget/fodder options in UCL Fantasy?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Just had a little scroll through, here are a few that caught my eye:

      GK: Kobel (4.5), Musso (4.5)
      Def: Calabria(4.5), D. Carlos (4.5), Maehle (5m)
      Mid: Lamela (6m), Barrios (5m), Alvarez (4.5m), B. Diaz (6m)
      Fwd: L. Traore (6.5m), Braithwaite (6m)

      The Milan players here probably not great options v Pool but will be decent options v Porto + Atleti:

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers! I was considering Maehle and Alvarez. Will take a look at the others. I had 3 Milan, but now 2. Kessie is a good price. Also Florenzi in defence.

        1. Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          I'm fairly certain Florenzi won't start, he's being used as a backup for the RW Saelemaekers atm, Calabria is first choice at RB.

  15. Agent J
    • 4 Years

    Perfect Week to restart reading the PREAMBLE.
    Just hoping it comes up

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      I think you have to pay for that now.

  16. Bounce
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    FPL is stressful this season. Too many options and impossible to have everyone. Always going to be missing out every week.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Thats what fun is all about

    2. OLEgend
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      That's the fun

    3. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      All in the same boat! Will need to be some rotation of the premiums for sure

    4. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Honestly didn't feel like I had many options to change my squad this week. If I had, I would have Wildcarded. But most I could do was some superficial changes and of course moving things around a tiny bit for Ronaldo, but decided it was not worth it for such minor differences.

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      It's not stressful if you take it less serious. It's just a game after all, with nothing at stake.

      I've taken it waaay too seriously before, it's not healthy. Trying to distance myself a bit more this year and I'm enjoying it more.

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Tell me it’s gonna be ok..

    Sa
    Semedo Christensen Trent
    Salah Jota Raph Traore
    DCL Ronaldo Antonio

    Steer Sissoko Livra Williams

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Gtg except for jota and raph

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Good choice having Jota.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Identical to mine, except keeper (Sanchez). No idea if that's a good thing. Hold me.

  18. Ninja Škrtel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    scenes if Ronaldo doesn't start

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Pretty sure they got him for more than 1 game

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Yeah, but I get the sense most are captaining. I expect he’ll start though. Thought there was a chance he’d start from the bench if Cavani were fit

    2. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Most likely won’t. But if Newcastle play for anything other than a 0-0 by half time I’ll be stunned.

  19. Hairy Potter

    J7 to outshine CR7 today.

        The Magnificent 7 to outshine SClub7

  20. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Ronaldo is a total gamebreaker

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Yep. But if he was to flop this week, that would break the game even more!

  21. R.C.
    • 7 Years

    Anthony Taylor will referee #MUNNEW this afternoon.

    SIUUUUUUU

          Cool!

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Lukaku (C)

    Anyone else on here?

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      I had it until yesterday then went Salah. I think just having him is a slight differential in itself with most on Ronaldo. Yes, some have both but they have weakened their teams elsewhere.

  23. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Played my WC and don’t have any of Salah, Ronaldo or Lukaku.

    What am I doing

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      No Salah!?

    2. One More Hit
      • 5 Years

      Planning to take a lot of hits to play catch up?

    3. TKC07
      • 5 Years

      Playing Bundesliga fantasy.. maybe?

    4. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years

      Kaptaining Kane.

    5. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      You have Kane?

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Yes

    6. OLEgend

      Saving money for your kids maybe

    7. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      I have no United attacking asset.
      Need a huge sofa today.

    8. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      You're still playing last year's FPL

    9. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      You're doing it wrong

    10. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      But I do have Bruno, Greenwood, Alonso and Jota for ‘cover’

    11. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      How? What the hell is your team?

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Terrible:

        Sanchez
        Trent | Shaw | Alonso
        Bruno | Greenwood | Jota | Torres | Sarr
        Kane | Antonio

        1. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Nah, that's a good squad. Would want Salah/Ronaldo or Lukaku in there for Bruno/Kane at some point, but otherwise should bring plenty of points.

          If its any consolation I was happy with my WC team until deadline and now beginning to doubt some of my calls. Think that's normal.

          1. SAUCY SALAH
            • 7 Years
