      Is the Pompey fan mascot still alive/

        Another fan taken ill in the stands today. Can’t believe how frequently this happens now

    Let the DGW release the chaos! 😛

      Any update on when we can expect confirmations?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Only speculation at this stage, I believe

        2 years, 3 months ago

        None, may be a week in case Covid postpones any of the FA Cup third round or league Cup semi final matches.

        Because they'd need prioritising first.

        2 years, 3 months ago

        Probably after all FA cup games so next Tuesday I would guess. FA cup games postponed will get priority mid week 22 not PL

    All I want for today is 0-1 for Wolverhampton. Go Wolves!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The last 3 seasons or so it's been tight and low scoring.

      Hope it's a decent game like yesterday, so much better when there's exciting football played.

    2. Gazwaz80

      Hattie for Ronnie to save my gameweek 🙂

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

      All I want is a good football showing ... FPL points in addition 🙂

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        True hah, although I won't able to watch the game so care more about fpl. Then let it be 4-4 with no Ronaldo involvement!

    4. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No way lol

  4. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    1ft, 0.7itb
    I'm thinking alonso and livra might be the ones to move on here.
    Which looks best?
    A) livra to Tierney
    B) alonso to dias
    C) both - 4 and bb

    DDG Guaita
    TAA cancelo alonso livra Johnson
    Son Jota bowen raph gray
    Ronaldo Antonio dennis

  5. Karan14

    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you use Bench Boost for DGW22 if you had Foden, Cancelo (CHE), Bowen, Antonio (LEE) and rest all DGW players for -8?

    1. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think so

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        So what would you do use Free Hit or bench/sell City/WHU players?

        1. Firmino
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          FH for me

          1. Firmino
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            But I have Salah, Bernardo, Cancelo, Locadia, Cucho, Foster, Dawson, Bowen, Antonio. Pretty easy for me.

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah makes sense then. I think the likes of Foden, Cancel, Bowen or Antonio could match/outscore some DGW players so I'm tempted to use BB with these four and rest all DGW players.

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Second keeper? I think I will do it with the same benchplayers. Hoping Foster is back.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I will be getting a 2nd GK so let's see who gets good fixtures.
        Was thinking Bachmann if Foster isn't back.

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Looks good. We will not get a better bench later and happy to get the BB out of the planning.

    3. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I can safely bet that you wont get a better bench all season. If you play your WC or FH you cant BB as well. You would have to play your WC a week earlier and live with the uncertainty.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I agree with you. I think this could good time to use BB while our benches our strong. In a few weeks time we might not be needing a strong bench.

        Can wildcard to get Salah back in GW24/25 if I need to and attack rest of the double/blanks with 2 x FH & TC.

        1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          That's my plan as well, to attack rest of dgw's with 2FH and TC.
          I used WC this gw though (as my team needed surgery, due to injuries) with a hope of playing a BB including Cancelo, benardo, saka, Sanchez (gk) and probably Dennis in the dgw22.

          I really hope a big dgw materialises as my wildcard team was planned with that in mind. I may regret it yet but que sera.
          Good luck whatever you decide.

    4. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Without hesitation (assuming you also have/get a playing bench keeper).

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes one the transfers I will be making is to get a 2nd GK.

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

      I can get a bench of Cancelo, Antonio, Bowen and the rest doublers and I'm planning to BB if the fixtures fall kindly.

      Would be just Bernardo out this week for free. Maybe Livra out if he's not fit but he could have a double and I might just keep.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that looks great for a BB. If Soton get a DGW then I'm even more sorted and like you could get a great team for free or -4. Right now my transfers involve selling Soton players as assuming they don't have a double.

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

        Same bench as you for a hit. Hoping Livra gets a double and that the BB beats the FH teams. Cause i really want to be rid of the BB and retain both FH's

    6. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      i would have the same bench players - don't mind West Ham attack vs Utd but don't think City vs Chelsea makes for a good BB.
      Prepared to take a hit to field DGWers but will only FH if takes more than a -8 to get a decent XI out. Really depends on what the extra games are - if I can save the FH may be more useful in other GW

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Phil Jones, chief bonus point gobbler is back!

    1. how now brown cow

      Jones DDG smalling triple up. Happy days.

  7. BeWater

    2 years, 3 months ago

    What a waste of space Dalot was.

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno dropped 😮

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably good for Ronaldo owners

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely!

    2. ‘Tis the Season

      Massive. they will prob do well

      Welcome to Newcastle

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Decent option to fill in if Jonjo is injured.

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Then buy van de Beek as well as understudy

      Noooo I was expecting Hoever to start!
      Needed him to sub in for Watkins....

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I tipped him too as well, but from next week I think he's definitely in. Saiss goes to AFCON and he can play CB as well as RB.

        1. The Reptile
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers Zenith

          Let's someone gets severe cramp and he comes on with 2 assists and. C/s!

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fancy Wolves with 2 Moutinhos and 12 men behind the ball

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Nooooo, Traore vs Jones would have been a match up for the ages...

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

      He might come on in the second half though, when Jones is tired and making his retirement plans 😉

  11. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dalot is my worst transfer this year

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

      Lucky for you, it was last year!

      1. Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I'm not one to go into the pods in any big way. I'm sure these guys know their stuff but they're talking about FA Cup replays which won't happen this season.

    Distinct to any postponed games rearranged because of COVID.

    https://www.thefa.com/news/2021/dec/20/emirates-fa-cup-third-and-fourth-round-replays-cancelled-20212012

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Carabao Cup semi's should have been 1 off games as well.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Would require a neutral venue with home advantage back.

        If it's just Premier League teams then why not. I don't think the prize money bothers them but gate receipts are gold when lower league teams go deep into the League Cup.

  13. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Traore benched

    Off to Spurs he goes

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He gets benched a lot

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This 😀

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

    How many funny faces will Phil give us this evening 😆

  15. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years

    PHIL JoNES! Time to get him in

  16. Lubic87
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    3rd GW in a row ends with me praying for a Ronaldo blank. Could have brought him back in this week but went Kane instead (blaming my NYE hangover)

  17. boc610
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Diogo DaLoL

  18. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea owners have an excuse now when they picked a bad defence anyway

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That's the best Uniteds backline has looked in 3 years...

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

      They'll keep a clean sheet today, no doubt.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The number of other teams who have kept CS this week is so high 😉

  19. MGD
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dalot and Rashford gtfo

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Dalot I can understand but no idea how Rashford at 9.4m managed to get into your team with the mass of midfield options available

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

    I'm still amazed so many took it that Dalot was practically guaranteed that RB spot because he played the first game under Rangnick and a couple while AWB was injured

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

      Some people were going on about how he's absolutely essential and even attacked you if you didn't want to bring him in 😛

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No regrets, he was only 4.4 and decent 5th def. I needed the money, it worked out pretty well 🙂

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        “Decent 5th defender”

        Erm noo

  21. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    The whole United team was so dependant on Bruno.

    He had the greatest start to a career in history in regards to fpl points.

    I know a lot were penalties but he still did okay from open play.

    Hat trick on the opening day of the season.

    What's happened? Ronaldo?

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo needs to leave United for them to progress as a club

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

      I think it's Bruno and Ronaldo in one team that doesn't work well, we have seen that in Portugal team. Bruno is still best ManU player and benched because of Ronaldo, doesn't make sense. ManU was flying before Ronaldo arrived

  22. AleksaMaster
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    OMG, Jones playing, absolute scenes

  23. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Praying for a Dalot no show, will get Reguillon of the bench. Don’t ask why I started Dalot over him.

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I started him over Davies.

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

    Dalot benched yay

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      😀

  25. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves attack v this MU defense is the exact opposite of an unstoppable force vs an immovable object.

    No idea what to expect. A lot of off target shots I’m guessing.

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry to burst your bubble united is anything but an “unstoppable force”!

      1. OrmskirkFC
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He's saying the Wolves attack is a stoppable force and United defense is a movable object, so what happens?

        1. One Speed
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Man Utd own goal?

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He did say the exact opposite.

  26. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    No Maguire, no Rashford and (I can't believe I'm saying this but) no Bruno.

    This could be the best Man United 11 available (minus Jones of course).

    1. Fintroy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Assume Maguire has the Rus, as not even on the bench

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        "Harry Maguire receieved an injury against Burnley and had problems the day after the game. Since last night, we knew all three were out."

  27. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dalot owners mudded again.

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

    Owning United defence has always been a crap experience

    Peaking at the point last season where I captained Maguire for the triple game week and he came off injured after 15 mins of the first game

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw early this season, was beyond 'crap'!

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I remember a DGW goal for Smalling a few seasons back, I also remember owning him in the GW38 game that was delayed due to the bomb threat and his own goal 🙂

      Sums United defence up well over the last few years.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Jones used to actually be the best of the lot, there was a time he got 3 BAPs for walking on the pitch.

  29. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cavani, an option now?

    1. vova
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt it in the long term, likely to be rotated. He can be an option but a short term one when you pick out a specific spot for him.

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

      Could be a double game week punt but not more than that imo, see how they look tonight
