    Mateta u absolute!!! jeez massive save

  2. Litts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Zubamendi on my bench(1st sub) but I've got Lacroix, Gabriel, and Tarkovski. BPS/DEFCON magnets.

    Losing patience with Watkins and Rogers.

    Too early to make the jump to Gjokeres with him having city next week and Watkins has Sunderland

    1. Litts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      That was meant to have a question mark at the end.

  3. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Damn, that should of been a Mateta goal/Munoz assist 🙁

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Ah no 🙁 feck

  4. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Mateta shot stopped

  5. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins subbed

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Probably more likely to score on the bench

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      That's it, he's gone

    3. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      And thus completes the disappointment

  6. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Seems like Gyokeres isn’t another Scandinavian flop, might have to bring him in for untalented Watkins

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Might have to look at him for Mateta…somehow

    2. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      No brainer!

    3. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Fails the eye test, flukes points. Yes please!

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      He got 6 points. Relax.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        Still not far better player than Haaland?

  7. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Oh get lost, Watkins!

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Malen on Watkins off

    1. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      4 games 0 goals for us. Worrying times!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        The setup without any wingers just isn't working this season for Emery

  9. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Wonder if we going to unleash the Uche or not. Really want to see him come on.

  10. Wild Card this!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Mateta with most DEFCONs for CPA so far lol

  11. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins double price drop incoming

  12. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins is absolute rubbish and yet every week they seem to have a plum fixture and injuries to other players mean he ends up staying... It's been like the 3rd week of this...

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      I even kept him on a WC for more of the same! 😆

      What’s the definition of insanity again?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        Okay that one's on you. There are loads of great strikers to choose from.

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 months, 16 days ago

          Doesn’t really feel like it at the moment! Mateta didn’t feel right, maybe Gyokeres was the guy but it was really just an Isak placeholder I was after. Bournemouth perhaps the team to load up on, the Evanilson Semenyo double up has worked today anyway.

    2. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      No one knows this frustration more than a Villa fan

  13. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Ndiaye with the DC

  14. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Johnson > Xavi or Kudus if you were to sell BJ?

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins continues to show his value

  16. #1 Salah Hater
    • 1 Year
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Rogers looks to be playing left wing when Elliot is on the pitch.

  17. Sterling Archer
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    No defending Watkins, needs to go as a priority

  18. Al Pacho
    • 4 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Time to remove Watkins then….

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      WatkOuts

  19. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Cunha to Semenyo to catch the double rise?

  20. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Mateta and Barnes do something ffs

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      This

  21. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Uche coming on 🙂 (for Pino)

  22. v1nc3
    • 6 Years

    Senesi DC

    1. windowview
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      DC?

      1. windowview
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        Just realised

  23. Al Pacho
    • 4 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins out
    Gyokeres in ?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Do it

    2. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      With City and Newcastle in the next two?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        I hope you have seen City defending

        1. Eightball
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 16 days ago

          Gyokeres looked a bit slow and cumbersome, i'm not convinced.

      2. Al Pacho
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 16 days ago

        Other than gyokeres?

    3. Litts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      I've got the same conundrum. Think I'm going to do it.

      Can't think of any other options and Villa have been woeful.

  24. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Jose Sa gone awol?

  25. Glasner Ball
    • 13 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Sunderland wasting time going down with cramp

  26. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Richarlison starting on the bench, is it related to the IB?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Hope so

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      For sure
      It’s not like Tel is a great option

  27. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Everton almost score

    AGAIN

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      If only there were points for almost

  28. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Palace incapable of scoring

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      So many shots on target

  29. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    Watkins > Evanilson

    Easy peasy

  30. windowview
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 16 days ago

    How has Grealish looked?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 months, 16 days ago

      Very handsome

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years

      3 months, 16 days ago

      Not worth all the transfer in, but hair still looks good
