    AndyLTFPL has ended this week looking a bit of a tool.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How did he look at the start of the week.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Less of a tool

      2. Wild Rover

        😆

      salty … but does anyone really care ?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Has a big fan base, apparently....

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Probably not

      3. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not the pros. Casuals are his audience. That's why so many of them are fuming right now. And I have to say, from their perspective, rightly so.

        1. Alexis Nonsense
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'd say this site is the same, this is where casuals hang around for sure

          1. El Presidente
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I think it's a mixed bag

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

        A lot, and it’s pretty damn funny.

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What is the drama? Please report

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

        Nothing. Played a wildcard

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

          So what's the issue with playing a WC?

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

            Too much excitement for this lot

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

              Seems like it

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

      There are very few 'big' FPL accounts I like. Most of them are proper garbage.

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

        Most of them give tips/picks they would never use themselves

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

          True. Remember last year some Lee guy conned his followers just to get at his wife.
          But more funny is that many people are following these "experts" blindly. Some are even paying their hard earned money on patreons and stuff ffs

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

            I'm Andy's patreon but I couldn't care less about his moves, playing WC and so on. I pay cause I like him and his streams, don't get all the fuss right now, he's a little bit of entertainer as many of YT streamers nowadays.

    5. ANGRY PERSON
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What did he do ?

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

      That last minute WC drama was completely unnecessary. Who does that? But good he didn't care about posting his team before deadline for people to copy it.

      1. MOZIL
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, it was unnecessary, if he doesnt want to share why bother openning a youtube channel.

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

          Money

    7. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How so?

    8. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think that’s a bit harsh. Andy did exactly the same thing last season, when he didn’t have anywhere near the following he has now. He had said all week he was likely going to do it last minute and had his team planned. I didn’t watch the live stream but I did hear he didn’t post his team until after the deadline to ensure people couldn’t copy it which is positive.

      1. MOZIL
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        ya but he didnt do that this time

    9. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haven’t watched his streams this week but from what I hear he’s been saying all week he might wildcard late. If that’s true, what’s the issue?

    10. ANGRY PERSON
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      People are mad at him for playing a last minute wildcard ! Geez

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

      I saw a tweet that said he may play a late WC. In fairness his team was a bit of a mess with flags etc and I think we have all been in that position … let a -8 go through or press the WC button.

      We are all human and can’t always package our decisions up into nice pockets and sometimes we just go for it.

      He is probably not too fussed and is loving the click bait 🙂

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

    Lol. Why would ole bench Ronaldo? I mean why? They just lost to villa at home, barely won against villareal- thanks to ronaldo. Ronaldo clearly is their talisman now. Utd cant afford to lose another match at home. Ole will bench him Only if he is psycho mad

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

      Cavani looked pretty fresh.

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

      Convincing reasons why ole shall not bench Ronaldo.
      What could be the reasons, even if not convincing, for ole to bench Rolando?

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

        Maybe Ronaldo wants to be as fresh as possible ahead of international matches against Qatar and Luxembourg, where he could easily add 6 goals to his international tally.

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

          Age

    3. Chill, we'll call you
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      So you just answered your own question. Apparently Ole also talks to himself.

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's a long season and Ronaldo still has international commitments. He'll be advised by S&C and other coaches. Even if he looks in peak fitness today he and all players need rest.

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

      lol

  3. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I talked myself out of Ron to Rom for a hit at the last minute..

    Reasoning - Ron's next 2 opponents (Everton and Leicester)
    conceding more goals than Rom's next two (Southampton and Brentford)

    Ron to Kaku for GW9 Norwich fixture..

    Will see how it pans out but I hope the logic is reasonable..

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

      This is the Most sensible logic. But can fail easily.

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The point is its you making the decision with a reason behind it. Good luck with your decision.

    3. Chill, we'll call you
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's not logical to apply logic to FFL.

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why would Ronaldo bench himself. Crazy.

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

      Lol 😆

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

      hahaha

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

      Haha

  5. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I went for some bold changes with my wildcard, may well regret it but exciting weekend ahead!

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Cancelo, Duffy, Rudiger, (Livramento, Manquillo)
    Salah, Sarr, Gallagher, Raphina (Douglas L)
    Antonio, Lukaku (c), Ronaldo.

    Fingers crossed, needed to shake things up after two poor, poor weeks.

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

      Bold? Looks like many teams here but good luck, always good to get a green arrow after WC.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Where are the bold changes ? Gallagher to Mbeumo and Ramsdale and Duffy to Sanchez and White and you've got the same as me.

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

      I have 10 of those 15.

    4. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      lol bold.

    5. GoonerSteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Well that's reassuring!

      Thought I was taking some risks but clearly not lol!

  6. Gomolon
    • 9 Years

    Those on a GW7 WC - who is the biggest differential pick you've gone for?

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

      Chilwell!

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

        Nice!! Didn't have the guts for that one - I've got Mbuemo as my biggest differential

    2. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not on WC, but Captained Auba. Will WC later today.

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

        Good luck - wanted gw8 wc too but I had so many injuries and rotation in my team, it was like a fun fair with appalling health and safety standards

    3. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy

    4. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why would u want a wc in gw7

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

        Lots of us were forced into one due to injuries + rotation

    5. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Phil Foden.

    6. Pinturicchio10
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Fernandes (one-week Salah placeholder)
        Mount
        Jimenez

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

      Does ot matter?

      United have lost an important game so Pogba will no longer put effort into playing. Maguire is injured and the manager doesnt know how to set up a team. Doesnt matter who plays up front if the midfield is anonymous

      1. soup natsi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        What?

        1. Ginkapo FPL

              No soup for you!

            • 11 Years

            Huh?

    8. thepancakeman123
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Watford's next 8 fixtures are:

      Liverpool (H)
      Everton (A)
      Southampton (H)
      Arsenal (A)
      Man United (H)
      Leicester (A)
      Chelsea (H)
      Man City (H)

      As an owner of Sarr, my question is should I take him out for this run or trust in him to get points regardless because he's their main man?

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

        Out

      2. soup natsi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Do you trust him?

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

        I would personally wait for next 3 fixtures. Would ditch him if there are no pressing issues

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

        I'd sell personally.

      5. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Main man? Irrelevant, bad team with bad fixtures.

      6. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Out

      7. ANGRY PERSON
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ideally I'd sell him. But I have other transfer priorities. So will keep for next few weeks

    9. Hazz

      https://twitter.com/unit_football/status/1444246660108980225?s=19

      Sounds like Ronaldo benched.

      Glad I took off the captaincy and gave it to Raphinha(?) Disappointed I didn't do the -4 for Lukaku.

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

        I hope United get smashed!

      2. Nanoelektronicar
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Massive, massive advantage for wildcarders if this is true.

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

        Oh well, another sh*tty start.

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

        Kane time

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

        I have ronaldo (C) and yes I wildcarded - WTF

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

      No more of this today Bruno, I’m still recovering

      Ronaldo will come on and score the winner. writers are getting lazy...

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. Ronaldo is too good. Which means he gets goals and assists, even if afforded fewer minutes on the pitch.

    12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      ole at the wheel

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years

        Acting more like Alonso at the wheel

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ronnie at the wheel.

    13. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      This is the week, I know it.

      I have that feeling back

      1. MosF94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Kane brace tomorrow?

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

          Just one, but Son brace

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

        Just don't say you'll quit again this week if it goes south

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

          This week will reward me for sticking at it and not quitting.

          If I'm not rewarded, I quit.

    14. ClassiX

      P!ssing down at Old Trafford

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

        This is it Ron doesnt want his make up running

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

        Ronaldo will bench himself then

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

        It's what Ronaldo came for, he was sick of Madrid and Turin's sunshine!

      4. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        P/ssing with laughter?

    15. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol I sold Bruno for a hit to get Lukaku and kept Ronnie. Could’ve done Ron to Lukaku for free FML

    16. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      We probably know how this is going to end: Ronaldo bench, Lukaku blank, and Salah brace.

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

        + Antonio brace

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

          + Sarr brace

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nah. Ronaldo will get a late goal to punish all those that sold him and think they are winning (at least at the moment) just because he is benched.

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

          I said bench, not blank 🙂

    17. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It must be true because odds 9n ManU to win have gone up massively

    18. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ole is such a shitshow. Terrible manager.

    19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        So it was a correct decision to switch my armband to Antonio.

        Shaw plays!

        Martial starts. Wow. Game lost

        • 7 Years

        So turned on right now with Shaw and Bruno!

        Doesn’t look a strong team. Thinking Gray /Townsend might get something from this

      Meh was worth the risk holding Ronaldo as last min rumours are rarely true.

      Salah came off the bench for a double digit haul last season

        Only difference is Ronaldo is not that good now...

          I mean I captained Antonio so quite happy.

      Missed the Ronaldo rumours 5 minutes before the deadline because I was eating. Didn't imagine anything reliable showing up before official team sheets were submitted

        No solid rumours

      Any chance Ronny stays on the bench? Looking at a red arrow rn.

        Depends how the game goes

        If they’re losing at half time - no way
        If it’s a draw with 60 minutes to go - no way
        If they’re more than a goal up though, he might stay there

      Ok guys. Ronaldo is benched

    25. Paqueta Rice

      Ronaldo C fail. Fernandes will take the penalty again at least!
