      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Triple def is the key. Woohoo

      2. Ser Davos

        1. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

        2. Moon Dog
            1 month, 17 days ago

            Mbeumo is one of my fav players. Love the guy. You won't regret getting him in.

      3. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Need Grealish pts

      10. DMP
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Saka, J.Pedro, Gyokeres,

        ........................................

        One of the forwards will go for Mateta, the GW after, the other for Thiago.

        Even Saka is pretty useless.

        Wasted transfers.

        1 month, 17 days ago

      16. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        After rolling 5FTs for the first time since the rule started (last season), looks like I might use all of them.

        Stach, Reijnders, Pedro and Gyokeres on the chopping block. Timber in as the 5th FT/ 3rd Arsenal pick

      17. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Gabby bound to be in the def cons. Was immense in that last 10 .

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          seems to have ended on 8 but did push up to 3 bonus late on

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 17 days ago

              • 9 Years
              1 month, 17 days ago

              Finished on 8 it seems there was a late adjustment mate

      18. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Only 1pt above safety score with Ndiaye left to play, stuck and will sell Gyok immediately 😛

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Wait for mid week cup games - your incoming player may get injured

      19. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Do Raya and Calafiori get a bap each?

          • 10 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          No 3 for Gabs and Eze and 2 for Rice that’s it, be bizarre for Raya to get bonus for one save lol

        3. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Gab/Eze 3, Rice 1. 0 for them.

      20. Ajax Hamsterdam

        • 11 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        CC template crushing it!

        Raya
        Gabriel - Senesi - Burn
        Semenyo - Bruno - Saka - Enzo
        Haaland - Pedro - Woltemade

      22. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        • 1 Year
        1 month, 17 days ago

      24. tucaoneo
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        This Gabriel guy is really insufferable. No assist, no defcon. How is he on +3 BPS?

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Shots on target maybe?

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Created a big chance for Trossard. Passes, defensive interactions.

      25. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        18 points bench boost, acceptable return?

        1. tucaoneo
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Yes

        2. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Very, i’m on 11 with Kudus

        3. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          I got 19 and was chuffed with that so yes very good in my opinion
