    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Didn't think he'd play. Can't complain. As soon as he was playing he was always getting a haul.

  13. Rainer

    Wow Foden!

  14. putana

    kdb on 2 baps is such a joke lol. City have 3 defenders with an attacking return and cleansheet

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Didn’t he just lose it

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      You know it’s based on stats don’t you? It’s not just who scored, assisted and kept a clean sheet.

      1. putana
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        yes I'm aware. a few crosses and sideways passes

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          There’s an entire list of sh*t they take into account on the site. It’s not just “a few crosses and sideways passes”.

      2. Salan
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        It's this system based on these so-called stats having problems for years.

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          What do you mean “so-called” stats?

          What’s your suggestion for a better system?

    Bald Fraud can never win a knock out cup, look at him celebrate!

    Easy to win league with $$

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      It’s literally the exact opposite. Best teams win leagues. Teams who have good runs win cups.

      I support Coventry City so 100% don’t have a horse in the race

  29. Piggs Boson

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Still time for changes though 🙁 But, yes, even an assist to him is more than 3 pts.

    4. Hazz

      6 key passes and 3 big chances created, relieved he didn't get more from today. Deserves a well earned rest on Wednesday

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago
