    Chelsea is so bad upfront that is actually good for Kepa

      This has been the case for years, sadly.

      Yes, I don't want the baps shared with the attackers.

      1. Shark Team

        I mean the weaker teams go for the draw and they dont attack as much with Chelsea having meaningless ball possession

  3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Chelsea spend more than the GDP of Romania yet can’t buy even a shot on target.

    Good lad, Ream, keeping them max BAPs for Kepa.

    That Cucurella pass was deflating

    Surely I am not the only one getting excited that the ex Leicester defender Wesley Forfana has come on to play OOP up front for Chelsea ?

    Only just found that Chelsea have so many players they are on 2 pages on FPL.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      It's not Wesley Fofana...

      1. fantasist
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeah they have 2 Fofana's

          Was confused when they brought him on and couldn’t find him on FPL until I realised Chelsea have so many players they need 2 pages.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Probably same for Forest too?

  14. JBG
    • 6 Years

    Havertz is such a nothing player

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Was just thinking the same plus 50% effort

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    If Chelsea doesn't finish top 4 she'll go to prison for breaching FFP.

  16. Amartey Partey
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Chelsea still can't score at home. They need to spend more money.

  17. wulfrunian

    Cucurellaaaaa you beauty!

    1. Ranger3
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yeaa so happy I saved my transfer and kept him ! But after he's a sell

      1. wulfrunian
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I would be really happy with one more cs against Sou.

        1. Ranger3
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          He was not so good, and Chilwell is back

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Potter is clueless

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Given these ingredients a bit hash to blame the cook

  19. Supersonic_
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Why on earth did I get rid of Kepa

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Who for?

      1. Supersonic_
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Pope

        Waste of a transfer on reflection

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          In fairness, can't really blame you for that.

  20. Hairy Potter
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Forgot Boa Morte was on the Fulham staff. His MTV Cribs episode was a classic.

  21. Alan The Llama
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    If Chelsea had moved quicker, they could've had Weghorst for £100m

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Their stable was already full.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      no direction

  22. Arteta
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How long before Boehly fires Potter? This just ain't good enough.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Paid Brighton £18 million in compensation for him. Potter is going nowhere.

      1. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        You think 18m matters to this guy

  23. Eleven Hag
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Will it be a trouble if I own only city assets Haaland and Ake next week?

    1. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      No

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Chelsea 0
    Fulham 0

    Good on Fulham but with Havertz and Mitrovic bad on me

    5 mins injury time tho

  25. _Ninja_
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

  27. TheTinman
    • 9 Years

    1. _Ninja_
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

  28. Supersonic_
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Potter in trouble here? Surely

  29. FantasyTony
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Lack of spending really let Chelsea down this transfer window

    1. _Ninja_
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      They need some more attacking mids.

  30. Ten Hag of Bud
