    Who was it that ridiculed Tarkowski for his lack of DC's?

    Tarkowski owner here, guys is guaranteed 2 points every week with dc

      Get in! I think he got 6 of those 11 in the last 10min.

    Jack the lad Grealish sliding his way into my team... what year is it again?

    So basically Grealish is an option

    Unless it was just a debut performance

    He loved the crowd reaction at the end

    He needs to be loved

    Not a cog in Pep's mind and team.

    1. #1 Salah Hater

      He's one of those FPL assets that's just fun to own - when not playing under Pep's terrorist regime of course.

      Has to be up there with one of the worst 100m ever spent. Would love it if he succeeded at Everton though.

    3. Cruyff's Eleven

      As I said, if he gets assists and DEFCON points he's better value than Anderson.

  5. Tripleh123

    Palmer + Guiu out for Bruno + J.Pedro?

    A. Yes
    B. No

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 20 days ago

      Yep, might do a -4:

      Palmer, Rogers, Mateta > Wood, Newcastle mid, maybe United mid

    Would you WC this lot? 2FT but there's so much I want to change...

    Sanchez
    Williams Agbadou Porro
    Salah Wirtz Palmer Reijinders Bruno
    Watkins Fullkrug

    Dubravka Andersen Esteve Guiu

      generally looks fine across the board, i'd stick it out for a bit and save the chip
      only thing there that screams 'evacuate' is fullkrug
      i think i'd use your 2fts for Fullkrug + Watkins -> a 7.5 and 7. +wood/mateta/pedro, +evanilson/richarlison etc

    Why was Ndiaye subbed at 63rd minute?

    Injury?

      *minutes
