    Ok, so Ronaldo benching rumours made me switch armband to Antonio. Now watch the goat haul big.

      On who's rumour though, did you take a good source?

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

        No. It was a rushed decision, not happy about it at all.

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Apparently Ronaldo will come off 60-70 mark due to him playing the full midweek game. Source is the guy who usually gets early United tesnsheets.

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

      Yeah me too.

    3. lilmessipran

      Messi plays tomorrow

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I did the same.

  2. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Eve to beat Man U and go top for today at least…

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

      No chance. Ronaldo will start and score a hattrick

  3. abk

    CR7 HATTRICK INCOMING

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

      Yes please

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

      Hope so (C)

    Why would Ronaldo be benched? Ole resting him for Portugal?
    Some of these deadline rumours 😀

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

      To make Andy WC

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

        Terrible!

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

      My thoughts also. Although I was that much of a 50/50 with the captaincy that I've put it on Lukaku.

  5. Supernintendo Chalmers
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ronaldo rumoured to be playing for Man Utd today

  6. @persecuted_by_mods
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Stop repeating no Ronaldo ya plebs

      1 rumour

      And 1 man utd talk show guy just tweeted "ffs" but that could be about Fred starting for all we know

    • The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      PENS DOWN!

      That's it! 3 Teams disqualified for making transfers after the deadline!

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

      Last minutes switch of the band to Lukaku from Ronaldo

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

        I’d have done that regardless.

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

          EO?

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

            Oh that never influences me. Just think he’s the best option this week.

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

              when there is not much on it I go for the player with an EO over 100 … hate it when my player scores and I fall in rank due to EO

    • Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku as captain over Ronaldo seems to be the correct decision with that late news, not worth the risk, is it?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        We'll see after they have played

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

          Yes, we will.
          The majority was already of the opinion that Lukaku was the better choice.

          1. Jam0sh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yes

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

        Lukaku would always have been my cap if I had him.

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

          Yeah. I have both hence the indecision of captain, but trading Ronaldo to Lukaku like some have done is definitely something I wouldn't do on the basis of team news.

    • OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsdale
      Rudiger Cancelo Laporte White (Livra)
      Salah Raph Saka (Brownhil, Doug. Luiz)
      Lukaku Ronaldo(C) Antonio

      Ended up with this WC team 🙁 🙁
      Season over
      1. Yes
      2. No
      3.
      4.

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

        I like it

      2. Diedhiou See That?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Looks good

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

        1 yes, 3 screwed up, 4 delete team
        Other than that i wouldn't have done this. Midfielders always ends up with most points and this doesn't follow that logic

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

          this is not the team for whole season and currently no reliable mid

    • lordkippe
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo and Jota to Lukaku captain and Raphinha for me. Keeping the structure with 2 bog hitters the reasoning.

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

        Sounds crap

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

      Rumour that Ronaldo will blank today. Not confirmed yet.

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

        haha - hope its completely not true

    • the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Missed the deadline so looks like i have CR7 (C) and Antonio (VC)... was actually about to twist and put the armband on on Antonio ... GL all 🙂

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

      If he does a cameo like Salah vs Crystal palace last season Im all fine with it!

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

      Pen is down

    • JJO
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah he got DM and wildcarded in last 2mins 🙂
      What a BS

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        are you one of those copying him? xD

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

          Of course not.
          I wouldnt play this game just to copy someones team or transfers

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

        Haha, well played..

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

        Probably planned it all along for entertainment value

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

          Hopefully that "Ronaldo bench" message wasn't for entertainment purpose because it's not funny at all 😀

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

          Yeah that was my thought

      4. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Why is it BS?

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

          Bill Sanderson used to do the same thing

    • Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Imagine owning a 12.7m washed up rotation risk

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

        Kane?

    • Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Took a last minute -8

      OUT Ronaldo Jota TAA

      IN Lukaku(c) Son Azpi

      Will either LOVE to see it or have NOWHERE to hide.

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

        NOWHERE to hide

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

        Looks good on paper

        3 nailed players for one injured and one rotation risk.

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

        Just don’t panic after Ronaldo hails. They’re not bad moves assuming you plan to bring Trent back in

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

      Son (C) lets gooooo!

    • Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Any news on whether Ronaldo will blank to day ? 🙂

    • Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

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

        Half an hour or so

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

        A lot less. Sometimes just 25 minutes

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

      Maybe I should have captained Antonio instead of Ronaldo but dont regret not using WC

    • Norco
      • 9 Years

      Andy revving up the drama with that WC "last minute" decision

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Haha anyone that believes that was "last minute" probably has a healthy supply of magic beans

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

            Haha was a little painful to watch but hey each to their own

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Tbf he has to do it like that, if people knew he would do it they'd just be spamming him and try to copy the team exactly

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

            He will blank because I got him for a hit.
