    At least the guy who moans about his mate copying Andy can shut up now

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He probably still copied LOL

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        DAT GUY KANEZ (WELBZ)

      Stream got around 200 dislikes from copycats.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Serves them right, what's the point in setting up a team to copy? May as well save the time and not set one up and just be a 'supporter'.

        Play your own game.

  2. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I hope Lingard starts. What more does he have to do to earn a starting role at this point?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Extend his contract

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        After not getting a start in the league all year?

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I mean I agree to your point but he has only 1 year left - can't start him if he doesn't extend innit

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I agree his minutes per goal is best in leauge

  3. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bruno haul incoming?

    Yes please

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This!

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      5pts haul

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        15*

        1. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Anything between 5-15 would be good

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      His last dance in my side

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

        Likely for me too with Kdb pencilled in next gw

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

      Would be tasty that

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Imminent I think
      Very unfortunate in recent GWs
      Stats have actually been as good as last season in terms of xGI since Ronaldo joined

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Andy starts the rumour just so he can WC haha classic Andy!!

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What a ridiculous rumour, as if ole is going to drag Ronaldo on 60 if they need a goal lol, piss.

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

    Ronaldo is getting binned for next GW, these keeper howlers won’t continue forever!

  7. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Had a dream last night that Antonio scored a last minute winner. Have still stuck with Ron (C) do.

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t get points for dreams

  8. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Good luck everyone.

    Could be a high scoring week with lots of strong teams at home.

  9. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Def been the hardest gw of the season to navigate so far.. hope these Ronaldo rumours aren’t true but seems odd before international break

    1. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rumours? Go on...

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just the stuff people have talking about on previous pages about a potential benching

        1. Sharkytect
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ah OK, I didn't read the previous pages. Just got in fro. Morning with 3 reckless kids and had to do some panic transfers!

  10. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    @FPLInfo reliable?

    Ronaldo starts
    Greenwood benched
    Shaw starts
    Chilwell starts

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How would he know

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Surely they wouldn't have the Chelsea lineup already

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah seems sus, maybe just trolling

    3. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not really

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No, no way he can know this early for Chelsea so he's just guessing

      • Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Chilwell is the clue

      • Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just came across this account on twitter and doesn't seem reliable.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It’s definitely fake lol, not that it matters post deadline anyway

    5. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Oh no. What have I done?

    6. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Playing your WC 'last minute decision' is like being caught with your pants down wearing a pink pair of panties.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Speaking from experience I presume

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

          Could be female I guess?

    7. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      BigManBakar has hit the WC button

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Most of us have Twitter already thanks

        1. Fitzy.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          You say that like it's a good thing...

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Never said that! Doesn't even link the tweets he copies 🙂

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Bit harsh

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I don't care when he's spammed 'Ronaldo rumoured to start' &' Ronaldo rumoured benched' in the last few mins lol.

        3. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Then bugger off

      2. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Why?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          To change couple of defenders

          1. Gomolon
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah having TAA, Shaw and Ayling all doubts/out has been the main motivator for a lot of people, myself included

      3. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for the info genuinely… not all of us bother with Twatter.

    8. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Andy is such a knee jerker. I mean come on!

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bullsh!tter more like. No way has he hit a late wc.

        1. clodhopper
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          He did

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I mean a late decision. He obviously had it planned all week then did it last minute for dramatic effect.

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Did it live on stream apparently

        3. clodhopper
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          He did last couple of minutes

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        These lot certainly know how to trick people and garner attention, that’s for sure.

      3. Crystal
        • 10 Years

        Reeled another one in

      4. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He did it on live stream, I was watching with some amusement … good WC though.

        1. Big boy Bowen

    11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      With the kind of form they are in, do we actually think Ole can afford to bench Ronaldo? Imagine United lose and Ronaldo only comes on at 65 min. Do we think Ole can risk that?

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No way cr7 will be benched. They Don't have the luxury to do this. Just lost against villa at home and ronaldo is their talisman

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          don’t do the lottery 😉

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo > Cavani

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Does he get paid for sharing tips and his team by his followers? If he doesn't then he can do what he wants but if he's getting paid then this is kind of douchey.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair play. If there are people out there who pay for tips then that’s hilarious. Milk them for every last penny.

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

          I am not so sure. His reputation is built off of how he performs really. If he felt before deadline that the WC team is going to do better in the long run then so be it. A lot of people activated WC near the deadline. The people cribbing can still take all of the advice he had given on his team pre deadline to make any tough decisions and only those copying are upset.

        3. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Wow he's copied fpltips team 😆 guess he was just waiting for him to post 😛

      3. Paqueta Rice

        Ha. Never really use that site but had a little read. He’s got genuine disciples who make decisions based on his.

      I guess we're going to know in couple minutes about Ronaldo but paddy changed his odds of "one shot on target in a game" from 1.04 to 2.0 so there might be something true about Ronaldo benched, just saying...

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Those odds were there last night also as caught my eye, so maybe they knew something before all of us

        1. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, forgot to say I checked it in the morning, interesting stuff.

    17. MDynamite
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo benched, Cavani starts.

      Pogba benched.

      Shaw starts.

      Good luck all

          I figure he’ll either play or he won’t. Hopefully.

            That’s sounds obvious. Hell either start or stay on the bench is what I mean.

        Could work out - if he starts! I brought him in for a hit 😀

          We should go get drunk.

      My guess with absolutely no foundation.
      Ronaldo starts , Greenwood benched.

    24. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kane to hit 6 goals and become top scorer
