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

    Chances Ronaldo comes on for 30 to 40 min?

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

      20 mins more likely.

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

        A goal in those 20 min not unlikely.

  5. Beatle

    • 10 Years

    Buzzing i didn't take Shaw out for a hit!

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

      Did Shaw to Rudiger on a freebie... Don't know how to feel.

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

        For free I would have done the same

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

    Shipped out Greenwood + Shaw as part of a -4, this better not backfire!

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

      100 percent will

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

        100% didn’t 🙂

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years

      Greenwood scores today

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

    He was always a Shaw thing.

  9. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I have exact money for my planned transfers right now. Would you risk it?

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

      Shaw Vardy to Cancelo Lukaku

    2. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sure, what could go wrong with any of your players over a 2 week IB...

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

        Could’ve just said no instead of that bad attempt at sarcasm

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I could've. But I didn't. And I'd do it all again.

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

          You might not have liked his delivery but the advice was still sound. Can’t take things too personally on here!

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

      Obviously depends what moves - I have exact money for shaw > cancelo so chances are I make that today

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

        Cheers Steve. Leaning towards making the moves as well

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      At the very least wait for the end of the day!

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

        Of course- in a hurry but not that much hurry

  10. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku (c) who is with me ?

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

      Me

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

      I am, but also have cr. And just noticed i transferred out greenwood instead of jota by mistake. I have a feeling this is gonna hurt.

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

    Oh ffs, back from a dog walk to see this nonsense, well at least shaw started - 1 pointer captaincy would be crap but I have a feeling he’ll come on and get something

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

      Yeah. I was eating and missed it too. Didn't expect anything reliable close to the deadline... And I'm not so sure I'd have trusted it if I did see it, but at least I'd have changed captains (not sold him)

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

    I get benching Ronaldo

    But playing Martial is just weird

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    That's Chris Sutton laughing at Ronaldo cappers. As if I need another reason to dislike him.

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

      Ahaha. Kick em while they’re down I say

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

    No Ronaldo? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  15. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kept Shaw and captained Lukaku. Red arrow incoming

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

      Imagine the scenes when lukaku is benched for werner..

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

        That’s going a bit too far lol

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

    Presubs, my rank has jumped by 41k.

    No hits best decision this GW.

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

      Sometimes to move forward you just have to stay still.

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

    Just looked at my team and looks like I can go one more week without pushing the WC button. A lot will depend on how the IB goes tho.

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

      Got City players vs Burnley?

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

        No, but bring in a city defender with a FT.

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

      Same here - WCing in GW8
      Here's my current team
      Sanchez Foster
      Azpi Rudiger Coufal Semedo Veltman
      Salah Bruno Greenwood Raphinha Allan
      Ings Antonio Toney
      1FT 0.3ITB
      What do you think, can it survive for a week or so?

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

        Depends if you're willing to go without Lukaku/Ronaldo

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

          Yes. I think going without Lukaku can be fatal. Without WC I'd need a hit which I don't fancy. Would need to sacrifice Brunn any case.
          WC warrants at least 5-6 changes, which I think there's enough opportunity in my team looking at run of fixtures post IB.

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Was thinking the same. Too good a team to wc

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

        Exactly

  18. altan8797
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    everyone is talking about CR7, no pogba owners here?

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

      Who?

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

    Someone in my work mini league captained Ronaldo and VC'd Pogba.

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

      Ignore the personnel, that's just a rookie error.

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

      Then they’re ignoring the no1 rule.

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

    Remember when Salah was shock benched vs. Palace only to come on and get a brace? Have faith CR7 cappers

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This

    2. SM001
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes but that was Liverpool. This is United.

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

      That was Salah the God

  21. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Kept Shaw and captained Raph over Ronaldo. Sometimes my genius….is almost frightening…

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

      Raph hip injury in 15th minute confirmed

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

        So another goal then.

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

      😀

  22. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Had it on Antonio all week until I came on here yesterday and changed it to Ronnie.
    ffs.

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

      Should have come back on here this morning. I had it on Ronaldo all week and changed it once I realised he wouldn’t start.

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

        Good advice Rupert.

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

        You never stop do you lol

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

        The early horse gets the carrot!

  23. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Feelings on this WC draft?

    Ramsdale (McCarthy)
    Rudiger Semedo White (Livramento Williams)
    Salah Mount Raphinha ESR (Luiz)
    Lukaku Kane Antonio

    Kane would be a 1 week punt against Newcastle and then I’d switch him out for Ronaldo.

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

      Business as usual is resumed!

  24. We Go Again
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So no pens, not guaranteed to start every match, fixture turn. Time to get rid and spread the cash to the defence

  25. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So the real winners are gw7 wildcarders 😎

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

      Not those that kept Ronaldo stupidly 😎

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

      I am still a loser - WCed and have both kaku(VC) and Ronaldo(C) - so frustrating

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

    Ronaldo absence causing meltdown. Lots of mentions of Pogba.

    Sancho... not a peep lol. BVB gonna get him back on loan in January at this rate.

  27. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Was watching Andy at Let’s Talk FPL live you tube deadline stream & he had a message to say Ronaldo would not start but wasn’t sure it was reliable. He hit his wildcard 1 minute before deadline, took out Ronaldo & captained Lukaku

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Awful fpl player . Why people take advice from him is beyond me

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

        Harsh, I think his show is very good

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It's utter dross. So many better people to follow if you have to follow any.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He likes a bit of drama!

  28. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    did greenwood + ayling to saka + rudiger, greenwood for a hat trick then! What are the chances of ronaldo not playing at all? have antonio as VC

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

      Hell get 20-30 probably

  29. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ronaldo is going to come on and score a winner for an 8 pointer

  30. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have Ron (C) and no Lukaku or Antonio, big red arrow incoming I’d say
