    Not the best start to gw, missed the deadline and own coutinho and mount on BB 🙂

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 days ago

      He’s bang out of form though. Not surprised Gerrard is giving Buendia a start.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        You thought coutinho would be benched? Easy to say it now after the event

        1. JELLYFISH
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Did I say that?

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            So you didn’t think he’d be benched?

            1. JELLYFISH
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 days ago

              I said I’m not surprised!

              1. Pat Bonner
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 2 days ago

                Fantastic insight, thanks for that

        2. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Not what he said!

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            Who asked you

            1. Danno - Emre Canada
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 2 days ago

              Hahaha Jelly did

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 days ago

      The news broke after the deadline anyhow

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Missing the deadline has nothing to do with me having mount and countinho

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

      Bad luck. Very surprising that they are benched.

  2. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 days ago

    Mount to Zaha pencilled in

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

    Only Toney and James for me up until the late late game, looks like that might have been a blessing with all the benchings already

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 days ago

      I sold Toney this gw so haul incoming

  4. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 days ago

    Ah yes of course. Sold Werner, kept Havertz. Watch him bang a couple in now

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 days ago

      Sold both but I'll still be watching behind the couch 😐 Wolves have been horrendous as of late.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 2 days ago

        SuperSaints is that you?

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Might as well be

      • Mr Arsenal
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Surprised with that line-up but if that means Havertz gets 20mns here and starts against Leeds, I’ll take it!

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Yeah might still turn out okay

      • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        couple of offsides more likely

      • Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        I think Havertz can still do work. Maybe 30 mins today and then a start vs Leeds is nice.

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 days ago

      Bench boost down the drain already (Mount and Coutinho).

      **Logs off**

      Lineups posted?

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        yeah apparently they are available on the internet. I hear it’s going to be big !

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 2 days ago

            It'll never take off

          • EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            Someone usually posts lineups here. Regulars would know.

            1. TRIPOS TOPPER
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 2 days ago

              Regulars would also know how to check other sites….no danger of you topping the computer science tripos I guess

              1. EmreCan Hustle
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 2 days ago

                I guess you miss the point of a FPL community then.
                Be more frequent here, you'll understand its charm.

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

              They both are tbf.

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Lineups?!

        1. Simon69
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Twitter.com

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

        This will probably be a game where Sa keeps a clean sheet and wolves actually score

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

          This is the FPL way. I wanted to get rid of James but couldn't find a replacement I was happy with so I just kept. I'm expecting 1/2pts

      4. Stamford B
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Demi time?

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

        1/4 starters so far, just eating mud for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

        1. Well you know, Triffic
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          lol

          Thanks. At the very least this comment made me laugh.

        3. PartyTime
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Don’t forget to add some ketchup

        4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          That's the worst meal I've ever heard

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

              Good lord

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

          Don’t forget supper.

      6. Shane86
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Transferred Coutinho out for KDB, had enough of him (Kane to be Richarlison too)

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Nice moves

      7. EL_FENOMENO
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Would've held Cash if I knew Gerrard will play him as wingback

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Look a great option for next GW as well.

        2 years, 2 days ago

        5 out of 5 starting so far, chances of getting to 30 out of 30 on BB less than 5% ?

        Schmeichel, Foster
        TAA, Cancelo, Alonso, James, Matip
        Salah, Saka, Son, Kulu, Gordon
        Pukki, Watkins, Dennis

        1. Simon69
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Bit too unsure of yourself for a warning. That's a question if I ever saw one.

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          To BB?

          • 12 Years

          Literally asked a question. Not exactly a convincing win this

          1. Ruinenlust
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            You never heard of a leading question?

        5. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Haha a question for sure

      9. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 days ago

        Havertz and Mount both benched. Thought it would have been the Leeds game they sat out.

        1. Well you know, Triffic
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 days ago

          Will they even start that game!!

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Less likely

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          Havertz has been very wasteful in the last few. Mount is a surprise tbf.

        If Richarlison flops it will be carnage on here.

          • 11 Years

          I think everyone knows what they've signed up for. Has been very aggro and a yellow away from suspension.

          1. Stamford B
            • 2 Years

            he's not...15 yellows needed now

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 2 days ago

            If he starts 😉

          • The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            I sold Mateta for him so if he even starts both games, I will be ok with that. Two away games though...... Not hopeful for a haul with their away form

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          2 years, 2 days ago

          At the last minute I took a hit and got in Pickford and Bernardo for Guaita and Mount. There was a rumor about Guaita, but Mount was just a hunch.

          I didn’t realize B Silva had played the full 120 midweek, so I bet Schmeichel and Maddison out score them. I o my had 12m to spend.

          1. Freshy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            Took out Mount for Maddy - just a hunch

        4. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years

          Where is Guaita? Have in my regular team for next GW 🙁

            Hit may be needed.

            Patrick Viera said he'll shake it all up at Palace.

            Injured. Was common knowledge since yesterday

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 2 days ago

              Then why was he not flagged? And why was he predicted in the team news section?

          3. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 2 days ago

            Not even on the bench. Must have had an accident in warm-up.

            Going to have to replace him before my BB next week ffs...

            1. Il Capitano
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 2 days ago

              Was leaked as being out 1 hour plus before deadline, so probably something in training that Pat didn't mention in his presser. As a former owner I have experienced Guaita's disappearing act before .

          coutinho benched in the easy fixture only to get a nice 2 pointer against liverpool... nice.

          should have just sold for mahrez

            • 11 Years

            Decided against Coutinho to Maddison. Watch Maddison get back to back double digit hauls.

            I'm just hoping for a fruitful cameo from Mount, a winning goal at 0-0 would be nice.
