      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Brave for a profile with no team link.

    3. Gunneryank

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Even I was tempted to go with Bruno C, this might be his swan song. Good luck

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

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

    The hit-less streak continues, even if I was suuuuuuper tempted this week.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I went for the hit option even though I wasnt tempted 😀

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

        The Hit of the Baskervilles

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same. But this week I have the option of Antonio + Greenwood to Lukaku + ESR, exact money.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Got to do that by tonight, Luka is close to rise 😀

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I’ve been sweating for the last 3 evenings 😀

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Nice

    Godspeed people

  20. Nightf0x

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Kept changing captian and saving, idk whom i capatained ronaldo or antonio

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Having missed a week of competitive matches, I think Antonio might be a little less likely to haul as a result. Ronaldo probably the better pick. Personally for me it was a harder choice between Ron and Salah, and I didn't consider Antonio much.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He scored in the Cup match, mid week!

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

          He wasnt in the squad for the cup

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was 50/50 Ron and Antonio, so i let EO decide. I'll be surprised if West Ham don't tear Leeds apart. Leeds are bleeding and nursing their wounds.

        Antonio is the shark.

    Slower than usual, just 7 pages

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Page still bouncing on my phone, very annoying but less so without the pages flying as much

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stupid articles top of page make mobile a nightmare

      1. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Will talk to the editors about it, must be some sort of alternative

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Just providing the link instead of article's glimpse will probably be better

    3. Twisted Saltergater

      I have seasickness trying to locate posts

  23. Fabreghastly

    Good luck everyone - unless you own Harry Kane or Son

  24. FPL Brains

    Locked in with Ronaldo captain. Let's go!

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

      Ronny hattyyyyy

  25. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    why isn't game updated yet - been 3 mins

  26. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Overthunk it last week, made unnecessary tansfers and got 1m+ red arrow. This is only did the dullard moves- (S)alah and roll FT. good luck all.

  27. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Saved a FT even with shambles of a GW5 WC team 🙂

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      incredible 🙂

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Let’s see how the week ends?
        New strategy if in doubt do nothing 🙂

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I must try abs sit on my hands more. Already sabotaged my team with a needless Christiansen to Marcal move last week.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I got like 40 points on a WC once and then broke 100 the week after - hopefully you get some luck, some rotten luck for plenty of good picks last week

  28. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo (c)
    Just feels so uninspired
    That 50% ownership is bloody annoying

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What good ever came from fear?

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sometimes I wish he cost 13.5m so his ownership would be lower

    3. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You've got 11 players, that's the point

  29. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ended up getting Jimenez over ASM - have I made a huge mistake?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I hope you have

    2. Chief Break-Everything
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Spent the entire week debating which one of those to bring in. Didnt fancy either... hummed, harred and then ran out of time and ended up rolling the FT. At least you made a decision!

      Best of luck

    3. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years

      Non-owner both.
      I think it can pay off.
