    4. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol maybe Tuchel and Ole are playing FPL too.

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

      Lukaku needs to get the finger out though.

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

    The only way he can come at half time is if United are 2-0 down right??

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

    When did Ronaldo not starting leaked, was sleeping lol.

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

      Never in time for us to make a change.

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

        Plenty of time.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Can't trust leaks anyway so screwed either way

      • Gomolon

        It was only like 15-20 before deadline i started seeing comments on here suggesting it

      • Rupert The Horse

        About 10:45

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

        Sky bet seemed to know yesterday based on the huge boost they put on him getting a shot on target. May keep an eye on that in the future

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

          That would be interesting, like an FPL Insider automated account that watched to see any huge spikes/drops in odds

    3. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol... Stop announcing your vice captains like Ronaldo's going to stay on the bench for 90 minutes...

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        yeah this, brace off the bench time

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years

        (A)ntono SalahVC

    4. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      F***** joke this game.

      0-0 at half time, bring Ronnie on for a brace please

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

      Is anyone else as annoyed about Luke troll Shaw starting as I am?

      1. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No because he’s in my starting 11. But so is CR7 (C)

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

        No

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

        I kept him after there was shots of him in team training where he looked fine.

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

          Had to sell the night prior to that to afford Ridigar unfortunately

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He will turbo-smash today

        Haulage of utterly biblical proportions

        We’re talking cleansheet & 2 assists, maybe a goal as well

        This is the way

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

          Absolutely

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Or he's off at halftime cos he's got the trots.

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

            That's what Maccies will do to you!

        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No way. Was desperate for him to start. I took a hit to get 10 playing. 11 with him.

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

          I sold him for a hit 🙂

          1. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            15 pointer incoming

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

        Kind of. It was his injury that lead me to wildcard. But that wildcard included Ronaldo > lukaku. Will see at the end of today whether I am annoyed

      8. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nope,had 2 FTs and kept/started him. 1 point incoming

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

          I guess it comes down to who the fpl gods hate more, you or I

            • 13 Years

            😀

            I'm not going to lie, I hope Shaw keeps a CS and Rudiger is benched just to see your tears 😉

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

      9. Agent J
        • 3 Years

        Of the 4 flagged players in my team, I choose to remove Shaw.

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

          I feel your pain. Lets hope for a 1 pointer

    6. Sharkytect

      Ron > rom transfer has started well…

      Don’t get too cocky. I remember laughing at salah getting benched last season or the year before. Came off the bench with 25mins left and scored twice and assisted

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

        I remember this to, it was awful but a great lesson, top players have a knack of finding a way

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

      Jesus. There'll be the ex-Premier League players on here now for gametime whinging about Ole and Ronaldo comes on after 70 mins and score two to win the game.

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

      Tactical genius from Ole. Martial fighting for a new contract and playing for his United career. Cavani is still Cavani. Don’t be surprised if he scores a few.

      Hahaha Ole and tactical genius in the same sentence.

      1. Dammit_182

        First time for everything

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

      When i first said yesterday here at FFS Ronaldo might be benched according to twitter, some of them just slammed me and said this is nonsense

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I joked about it and got '100% starting' and such, even though I said it COULD happen

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          actually might have been Lukaku loool cba to check - I'm outta here

      2. Jdpz
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        they are Ronaldo fanboys...

      3. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Lol in one of your posts you said that there's no way Ole would be benched. If Ole benches Ronaldo then he's psycho mad...

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

          I was convincing myself. It was my thought. What i posted was a source from Twitter

      4. Harry the Hack

        You can say many things, you r just saying this in hindsight

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

      How many of you have hit the WC button?

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

        Just did. Feels good.

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

          Didn’t wanna wait and see how today’s games pan out before hitting the button?

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

            No, dont have any Chelsea players anyway, want to get rid Jota, Greenwood, Ayling etc.

      2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not because of this, but I am playing it today as planned. So many players didn't rise last night but should have - cancelo, rudiger, d. luiz, nice little bonus

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

          And probably I want all of them to my WC team.

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

      Ronaldo leaving my team. Need to cash in.

    12. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ole playing FPL confirmed. But I don't suppose age is the factor with Cristiano benching? ManCity had lots of players rested too last season

    13. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Buying Ronaldo was a season defining mistake for me. But United will be better today with Cavani.

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        when did you buy him?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          WHY did you buy him? What's changed?

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

      People are really underestimating Cavani here.

      1. The Invincibles
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It's Cavani!

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

        Pressing all game long. Goal, assist, 3 baps.

    15. The Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Could be a massive swing this week if Ronaldo comes on for a 1 point cameo. Can imagine he was the favourite captain choice among non-wildcarders.

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

        Yeah, highest captained, 41.7%, in the top 10k, and 109% EO in top 10k (source: @fpl_alerts)

      Worst news of the Week: Ronald(C) benched
      Possible Good News : Ronaldo Scoring a Brace
      Possible Great News: United loses 3-0

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        I'll take your positive options.

    17. Jdpz
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The guy is 36 years old and you think he's a machine ... Live on in this bubble

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

        He is a machine. For a 36 year old. But his gametime needs to be managed. No point in having to rest him if he gets injured.

    18. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Benching the GOAT after he rescued a result for United once again?!

      Lingard deserves better.

    19. Bubz

      Just watched back Andy’s livestream. Don’t really see what the problem is?

      How the hell do players in my mini league have the same players as Andy and FPL Tips ffs

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

        That's how fpl is played in this day and age. Yt, tw and just copy paste. It used to be 50 points in a round is just fine, now that straight red, no matter what.

        I must admit that online content influences my decision making, but I would never copy someone's team.

      2. Agent J
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Everyone can be inspired by his pedigree and learn to play.
        For them it is not copying

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

      Ole has Bruno captain. Ronaldo would ask for the next penalty, so he benched him. Bruno to dive and take another penalty before HT ;P

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

        Any source … I changed Alonso to Azpi this morning so if true that’s a relief …

    26. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lol I said earlier if I had Bruno I would have been tempted to captain him with his performances against Everton last season (as well as generally doing well in 12.30 games bar last week), looks like he might do it again

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

        I hope he does before he goes out on WC. Captained Auba though!

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          That's brave but could pay off, Arsenal v Brighton is usually a tasty game, went for a risky one myself with Sarr, good luck!
