    Goodbye Minteh, never come back

    I hope Munoz absence is not an injury. Already got Calafiori suspended, Senesi injured and want to prioritise other moves. Would prefer not to have to use the 5 free transfers straight away!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      That’s what they’re there for, though.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Senesi will likely be okay

    3. Jet5605

      Bet he wishes he got a YC in the last game. He still carries the 4 when he comes back

      Someone in his family passed away

    Transferring Welbz in on Friday night has worked well for me then!

    Brighton assets stock plummeting if they can't score and concede against West Ham

      Don't worry. Pool next.

    Heading towards my worst ever GW in quite a while. Definitely of the season after straight 9 greens. Might drop like a stone this GW.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Like a philosophers stone?

    What happened to Munoz

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Gone to live in Tibet as a monk.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Daniel Monkoz

  8. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Haaland to blank against West Ham?

  9. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    This is miserable

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Some of the crossing by Brighton has been woeful

  10. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Anyone tempted by double FUL defence for the next three? bur, NFO, whu

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Not really 😆

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Nope, they’re terrible away

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    I suppose I should be happy with that extra point for Minteh....

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      That's what we got him for!

  12. keefy59

    Just realized with the Munoz absence
    A small number of managers could get a Dewsbury "Haul" off the bench

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Most will get a defender on

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Only Keane for me. 🙁

  13. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Need Mateta and Richards to save my season

  14. norab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Picking up Stach's 12 pointer off the bench for the Munoz absence. That's some sweet jam there.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Need a spoon for that much jam

  15. JBG
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Semenyo, Minteh and Mbuemo... players with so much promise, but only delivered poop on a stick.

  16. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    lol, I've been wanting to get rid of Minteh for weeks but his price rises and random bs assists meant I kept him. Got 51 points through 10 GWs and I and even benched him to West Ham at home, imagine that. He's the first one out with my 5 FT.

  17. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    No Munoz!! Stach welcome!!! WOHOHO

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        VVD, Andersen, O’Reilly & Munoz 🙂

  18. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Whoever was talking about De Cuyper here thank you, brought him in the team in case Calafiori doesnt start, getting him off the bench. Could have been a dreadful gameweek otherwise

  19. Underdogs11
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Very mixed emotions. Have Bowen and Senesi on my bench. Still having a good gameweek. But why oh why didn't I play BB?! 😉

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Because hindsight is a beautiful thing

      1. Underdogs11
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Guess so. 😉 But the chips is a disturbance. Enough energy is spent on the transfers.

  20. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Oh just go away Van Hecke, the hell is going on with him?!!

  21. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Fecking Rutter, useless. Van Hecke assist? Handball maybe before it even?

  22. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    Van Hecke A?

  23. g40steve
    • 7 Years

      1. Moon Dog
          1 month, 25 days ago

          I'm starting to remember why I stopped playing it seriously 😆

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Stepping aside so I can have Chalobah’s haul, he’s a kind fellow.

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Rutta goal

    5. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Wow put Van Hecke in 2 weeks ago, 1 goal and 1 assist since - nice.

    6. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Ball did touch his upper arm but the goal wasn’t directly scored afterwards so goal stands

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Areola owners mudded

        1. Jet5605
          • 11 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          All two of them
