    Estevao wire the No10 shirt for Brazil in mid week (it matters) and now back on scraps for Chelsea.

    Never understand why we are so reluctant at times with young players in this country.

      if his main competition wasnt neto, think he would be getting (more) starts

        Always been the way, or largely.
        You can make a list of benefits of older players and benefits of younger players… I don’t think either one is better than the other.
        Estevao should be getting more time.

    Refs, VAR and Burnley are trash

    Gotta love FPL. You wait two weeks for a James 1 pointer and all rivals have Enzo

  5. F4L

    time for a vvd 8 pointer

    My first time seeing a 4-way tie for bonus points

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 5 days ago

      did that broja shot count as a save lol

      Sometimes there's a little adjustment a few minutes after full time.

        They diddle until the end of Man Utd Everton

    Damn it Chalobah, no goal or defcon

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 5 days ago

      Hope he keeps the 2 bonus points

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 5 days ago

        Aaaaaand it's gone!

    Some frauds out there buying Caicedo this week with Guiu first sub

  9. All Hail K

    • 16 Years
    1 month, 5 days ago

    No yellow card for Cucurella, I'll take that as a bonus point.

    1. Moon Dog

        A clear top 3 emerging; City, Arsenal, & Chelsea.

        And thanks to Liverpool collapsing, 4th looks up for grabs.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          Chelsea's wins have similarly unconvincing vibes to Liverpool's earlier wins, imo

          1. Moon Dog
              1 month, 5 days ago

              Yeah, they've not looked convincing. But it's a tough league, top teams don't ease to victory anymore, each win is a struggle.

              Doubt we'll see another 100pt season anytime soon...

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years

          4 clean sheets in 5 for sanchez. 6 for the season. and hes dropped twice!

          1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

            Maybe he is just not that good.

            I would sell.

              dont own 🙂

              just a case where patience has been rewarded

          19 from 2. Not too shabby

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Chalobah & Enzo?

            Same here! High five! We actually have similar teams!

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              1 month, 5 days ago

              Damn, looks like Chalobah reduced to 1 BP

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                1 month, 5 days ago

                0, after a tie at higher level. The rules on the site don't make it too clear, but that's what I remember from past events

                "Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows:

                If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
                If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
                If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each."

                  Ahh damn it, cheers for this info Ze!

              Sanchez and Enzo

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                1 month, 5 days ago

            Stop the gameweek right now and ride that green arrow.

        5. Babit1967

          Ffs is Szoboszlai right back?

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Wa always tipped to be wasn’t he?

          2. #1 Salah Hater
            • 1 Year
            1 month, 5 days ago

            It was glaringly obvious he would be with Bradley's injury.

          3. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Might be Jones

          4. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Could be good for defcon

          5. Babit1967
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Yeah I’m just having a moan as he’s in my team lol

        6. adstomko
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          If Semenyo goes down in price again, who is currently 7.6m in my squad, will he go to 7.5m or not?
          He was 7.7m for me before his price dropped last night.
          From my understanding, he'll stay 7.6m even if he drops again, but will be 7.5m if he drops for the third time?!

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Easier to work this out by checking List View of your team on FPL

            Compare CP, SP & PP

          2. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            At what price did you buy him? That's the key. From your description I don't think he will drop for you.

            1. adstomko
              • 9 Years
              1 month, 5 days ago

              7.3m

        7. gooberman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          How is Sanchez getting 2 bonus pts from only 2 saves? What an absolute joke.

          1. adstomko
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            The James gone

        8. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          Went Gakpo over Neto, kept Semenyo, Rodon on my bench before Guiu, going well as always…

        9. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          Slot confirmed Szobo is playing RB

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Ah, there it is

        10. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          Was James replacement due to injury?

          This guy has been the bain of my fpl life for so many years but I still fall into his trap

          1. adstomko
            • 9 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Looked like a rest for Barca

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              1 month, 5 days ago

              And maybe Gusto didn't have more than 30 minutes in him

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Gusto wasn't subbed on directly for him, but later in the game instead

            So there has to be some sort of explanation as to how that happened

        11. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 5 days ago

          Sell one

          A. JP
          B. Cucurella

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            It's not even close...

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            1 month, 5 days ago

            Why sell Cucu? What's he done wrong?
