    game back up but showing last weeks points?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mine's fine.

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

      Hit refresh.

    3. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Are you looking at it on the app?

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

    Dodged a Torres shaped bullet!

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

    Fluid front 5 from Pep. Nobody really has a position there

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

      That's why Chelsea has 8 defensive players+keeper.

  4. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    3 game weeks ago Torres was nailed. People even said he is City’s new striker & Pep is training him in that role.

    Torres benched yet again.

    Oof

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He should be back when fixtures ease up.

  5. AIRMILES
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Updated

  6. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Laporte was fit after all

  7. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I plan to keep Bruno until GW12 (wat).

    Am I being patient or stubborn?

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

      would say stubborn, watch him vs Villa. Will give you better idea.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Perhaps you're right.

        Unlucky not to get assist last GW though

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would say Loyal

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My wife is a proud woman

        1. Walter White (WW)
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          🙂

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

      I’m thinking I drop him next or week after next to bring in Lukaku tbh

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Contemplating that move too. But can just downgrade Ron

    4. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I've him but no plan to keep him post GW7/8 WC. Captaining this week. I'm already feeling stubborn.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not necessarily. Interesting differential nowadays

  8. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Right Torres is gone, am I allowed to make an angry transfer out before the matches have even started? Cba with him not even getting a run out when he’s arguably been their best player.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't transfer him out before a goal from the bench in a 2-1 loss?!

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

      Watch them blank again today and then Pep will have to play him as a 9 as that worked earlier in the season. I'm holding for 1 more week

  9. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Well, for all the flags, both Pensioners start, my solitary Red Devil was always starting. That's pressure off the bench. An early win.

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

      To clarify, I've benched James, but it means that if I need him to come on, he's in with a chance to haul.

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

    feels like Grealish is as close to nailed as you can get (Pep) - mad he hasn't become a bandwagon yet - although assister of assister type in this team maybe?

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

      Yeah, thats what his role looks like. From little bit I have seen, he doesnt even get in the box, just trying to run around the box.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup. That's the problem with him. And the lack of a finisher for his created chances

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He would be essential if city actually had a main striker

    4. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hope i don't regret the james -> rudiger move

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      James owners rejoice!!! 😀

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Benched him. Oops.

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😮 bench for whom?

    6. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I guess I'm the only person who doesn't know this but why are there two 12.30s today?

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

        concert moved the United game time

        1. Oscar Slater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ah, right. Thanks.

      What's going on with this page? Jumps around all over the place when you refresh...so annoying

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        First world problems

        Hard life you live mate!

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

          he hardly said it's ruined his day.. it is bloody annoying and people tell them this every week

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Boo hoo

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

              I hope your day gets better brother

              1. Stupendous
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I'm having a wonderful morning thank you!

                Same to you!

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

          To be fair he's commenting on a specific website about a specific thing, don't think this is something to pull out the 'first world problems' for

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

            Would you say this to the plumber when he came round and said, "Going to have to get the plunger out," or something, would you roll your eyes and go "Blimey, charmed life you live, first world problems"

            You one of those trossards?

          2. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            It's a free "thing"/place, in a make believe "online", world, where we all waste our time talking about humans kicking a ball around a large area of grass.

            Perspectives.

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

              Perspective, that must be a joke!

              1. Stupendous
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Glad you find me funny!

                Happy to brighten your day!

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

          I mean...do you expect people to be posting about all their real problems on this site?

          Idiot!

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thank you!

              He's calling you one

          Rotation Ego answered the question a few minutes ago

    8. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hahaha back 5 for Villa as expected

      Ronaldo blank incoming

      Let's go Antonio (C)

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Let them sit back and get picked off

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

        Hause will single handedly ruin that defense

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          bet your Hause on it

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

        Yep, we all know playing 5 at the back is the key to keeping a clean sheet lol

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

        How many defenders did Newcastle have back against United?

      5. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        United can always switch to 2 up front to handle that. El matador is back

      6. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        We'll see

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

        Feeling good. Hope all 5 keep Ronaldo in check, while Bruno(C) and Greenwood have a few goals+assists combo among them.

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

        Think Villa lost to us 3-0 playing a back 5?

    9. Ligdon
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ive had torres since the start of the season, looked a gem, this is just getting annoying at this point.

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

        as long as he doesn't cameo I don't really see it being a huge problem - but unlucky

        1. Ligdon
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          My bench so poor this week as ayling is injured

    10. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mark could not resist Alonso but benched James

    11. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pep roulette has been an interesting game to play

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'm out 🙁

    12. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is that right... Jesus on the wing and Silva down the middle to start with?

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        no way to tell until KO

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Fluid front 5

    13. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So Torres is benched, should I transfer out Torres for Sarr in Sky Sports Fantasy?
      A. Yes
      B. No

      Still got 50 minute until GW 6 deadline

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

        Yes

    14. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I benched Semedo for Raphina and now I’m left hoping Raphina doesn’t play

    15. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Does Andreas Christensen playing today mean he is now a fixed part of Chelsea defence or just mean he will be rested next week?! Really want him but worried about rotation

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This week he is...

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Basically god knows if he will play next week?!

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If you pick Chelsea and ManCity players, you need a deep bench....

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

        He will play more games than not. I've been pushing Christensen as a cheaper option - he typically does well BAPs-wise (more so than Rudiger) and is trusted by Tuchel, rightly so.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          So worth getting for amartey GW7 if hsve TAA, shaw, semedo & Tsimi then?

      4. Carefree Crew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No. Tuchel confirmed Silva had an issue in training this week.

        Silva is first choice for the centre of the back 3.

      5. Carefree Crew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Assuming Silva plays against Juve mid week, I'd "suggest" Christensen will start next weekend.

        Assuming Silva has been picked for Brazil, I'd again "suggest" Christensen will start after the International break.

        So likely to start the next 2, but I'm uncomfortable predicting Tuchel. Don't want to mislead anyone.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks this is very helpful so basically wait til midweek before deciding

      6. Carefree Crew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Link confirming Tuchel said Silva would have started.

        Here's a link from The 5th Stand, Chelsea FC's official app: Tuchel explains Werner selection

        Pleasure for a fellow Blue. 🙂
        Up the Chels!

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years

      8. Carefree Crew
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ha! Ha! Well you're welcome anyway mate. 🙂

    16. space mercenary
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Took a gamble and did Torres / Marcal / Williams to Cancelo / Alonson /McArthir for -8 before the price rise last week on $0 itb but feel so much better already with this team sheet.

    17. the dom 1

    19. gooberman

      Torres well and truly finished as an FPL option.

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

        Thing about saying someone is 'overrated', it's as if you've canvassed everyone in the world's opinion on it, then cross-reffed against the known facts.

        Which of course people who say it have some neither of.

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

          Jesus, worst/best ever reply phk-up.

    20. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just wait for 13million Mbappe at City...game changer

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think he’s massively overrated

    21. JONALDINHO
