    Possible shirt pull

    Under review

    Goal given

    No interference

    Gvardiol points are welcome

    CHERKI YOU BEAUTY!!!!

    Time to jump off the Foden train, methinks.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      7 hours, 49 mins ago

      Probably. He has been unlucky today though.

    2. Utopsis

      Another Eze-gate, good luck to ya

      1. Nomar

        Should have learnt my lesson with him by now. Never does anything when I own him!

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          7 hours, 22 mins ago

          He's playing 90mins every week and only blanked due to an unbelievable save from the keeper (+Haaland blanking his other shot!).

          Keep the faith, sort other problems in your squad out

  6. Amartey Partey

    O'Reilly assist with the foul on Forest player

  7. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    7 hours, 49 mins ago

    How was that not a foul by O’Reilly?

  8. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 hours, 49 mins ago

    cherki on such a good run

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 hours, 47 mins ago

      *is that 57 points in 9 GWs?

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    7 hours, 49 mins ago

    Foden > Cherki

    No point paying over 2 million extra for Phunky Phil.

  10. Sun Jihai

    Have Cherki but kept Foden over him in my FH team - doh!

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 hours, 48 mins ago

      Ouch

  11. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 hours, 48 mins ago

    Cherki is a disaster waiting to happen if you get him isn’t he?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 hours, 47 mins ago

      Pretty safe whilst Doku is out, no outfield player will play every game

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      7 hours, 47 mins ago

      Every player is good until we buy.

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      7 hours, 47 mins ago

      Not till doku is injured

  12. Fifa las vegas

    This week could be brutal for me if Ekitike fires

  13. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    Robot subbed yet?

  14. el polako

    Haaland involved in the celebrations after both goals.
    Well done.

    1. keefy59

      I wasn't watching when the second was scored
      I looked up & saw Haaland running with his arms outstretched
      I thought he had scored

  15. nanxun
    • 4 Years

    MGW weirdly a key in this match, and not in a good way.

  16. JBG
    • 7 Years
    7 hours, 47 mins ago

    Foden back to his norm

  17. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 hours, 46 mins ago

    Wtf is with that Arsenal team? Rice is hardly playing LB like livescore have?

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      7 hours, 44 mins ago

      Livescore did the same with Richards/Canvot mixing up positions last week - seen it happen before a few times recently.

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 hours, 46 mins ago

    Foden a sell now?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 hours, 45 mins ago

      For whom

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 hours, 43 mins ago

        Cherki

        Of course!

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      7 hours, 44 mins ago

      How?

  19. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    7 hours, 46 mins ago

    good to see taiwo back

  20. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    7 hours, 45 mins ago

    Is Haaland still the best captain next GW? I think Sunderland are obviously better than Nfo.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      7 hours, 44 mins ago

      Cunha perhaps

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 hours, 44 mins ago

      Nothing is obvious anymore

  21. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    7 hours, 45 mins ago

    Haaland blank! Love it! It's time for Ekitike Mayhem!

  22. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    7 hours, 45 mins ago

    O'Reilly in the 10

  23. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years

    Tripled on City, like many others I presume, but looking at Reijnders, who took a lot of prising out of my team a few weeks back, and Cherki, and thinking can I really, really take out Foden for either of them?
    Could this be the beginning of the Foden slump?

    It's bound to happen. it always does. It's just being awake when it does.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 hours, 44 mins ago

      He does look in great form today still though, hard to tell from FPL point of view yet

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      7 hours, 43 mins ago

      Actually, looking at the comments posted while I composed this, It appears I'm not alone in these thoughts.

    3. Gizzachance

      Got foden last week after all his hauls! (other fires to put out, lack of funds , transfers initially stopped me( nothing so far!

      Wished I’d got Cherki !

      Had reijnders for first few weeks, got rid after minutes seemed to be getting reduced

    Should have captained Ekitike but I'm a sheep.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 hours, 40 mins ago

      Same. But it has cost me by not being in sheep many times in the past also

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 hours, 40 mins ago

      Everytime I want against the herd Haaland punished me.
      Today I’m a sheep and Haaland still decided to punish me.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        7 hours, 40 mins ago
