    Rodgers on the OGS rollercoaster - it's an exciting ride but it always ends...

      You get the feeling his Leicester run has gone stale. Everton??

        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure who - thought Newcastle would have been best.

    How is Vardy still not on?

    1. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He is on?! He's just so crap he looks like he's not

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can't wait for my Vardy 1 pointer

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 6 Years

      Same. Every little bit of happiness counts.

  7. Van der Faart

    Stinky GW. Need some sort of Maddison and Watkins involvement

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Stinky game week and only Ramsdale to come

  8. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Red Flag Formula 1

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That's potentially massive, huge moment.

    2. Old Man
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could be Verstappen's year.....

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He deserves it tbh

  9. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Buendia very central & very involved.

  10. JBG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Oh come on Watkins.

  11. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ramsey big miss from McGinn.

  12. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Are Villa looking good or Leicester completely abysmal at the back!?

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Both it seems

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Absolutely

    2. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Villa are decent but Leicester are one of the worst in the league.

    3. Old Man
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      we are abysmal - 2 goals a match conceded is the norm

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I’m .1 short of Zaha and Toney to Foden and King. Can afford if I go Dennis but feel King is the better choice.

    1. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I prefer dennis

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Do Dennis mate.

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      go Dennis

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Those are the moves I'm doing

    5. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bilva instead ?

    6. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not often there’s such a nice alternative when you’re 0.1 short - I’d go Dennis for sure

    7. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don't be a menace, just get Dennis

    8. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all. Have Bernardo

    9. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Many would argue Dennis is better anyway

  14. Lord of Ings
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Think son is a must have with the fixtures coming up
    Bri lei liv cry Wat sou
    Not a bad set of fixtures at all and he seems to be the main man at spurs fpl pov

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Four away and one of home is Liverpool

      1. MikeS
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly.. I'd say that is a tough run Brighton away is hard. Leicester the only real rubbish defence in them first 3/4

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Think Brighton will control the game against them, only really Leicester and Watford I'd say look good and Watford in their current form will cause them a lot of problems

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Prefer Bowen

  15. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great Emi save denies Barnes.

  16. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinezzzz grt save

  17. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Super save Martinez!

  18. 03farmboy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who to swap Kane for?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I did Lukaku

    2. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone, even Toney as your autusub might get points.

    3. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cr7 I think

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hold - he looks essential

    5. DAZZ
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Contemplating lukaku

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ronaldo.

    7. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      somone cheaper, no premium is worth it

  19. Lord of Ings
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best striker upto 6.7m who’s not Dennis or king?
    Probably better to downgrade to 4.4 and invest in midfield?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Rather have a playing forward. King Dennis or pukki. Or Maupay

  20. Fish up a tree
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ronaldo owners are keeping or selling?

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      *are you

    2. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Why would you sell with that run of fixtures?!

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy I've put so much faith in you. Repay me.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You got a double digit haul from him last weekend don't be greedy, us Kane owners haven't reached double digits in the last 4 weeks combined!

      1. MikeS
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Lol

    2. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      We need to ditch that old man he looks poor

      I had hopes today 🙁

  22. AC/DC AFC

    Pantomime season at Villa Park.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Oh no it isn't

  23. JBG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Now I remember how it's like to own Watkins.

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Compared to current Antonio, at least he's in good positions and getting shots away or making decent passes

      1. JBG
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        True, but still so annoying.

  24. tommo-uk-
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    3-0 and nothing from Kane. He’s out of my team and he ain’t ever coming back. Useless.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Who you getting as serious lack of options but I agree he needs to do one sharpish

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Somebody like King and bring in a Foden/Son combo in midfield.

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Until next week's hatty... 😉

      1. tommo-uk-
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If I sell it’s a guarantee

    3. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Until he goes on a run then you'll have him back

    4. dunas_dog

      Who are you getting?

  25. JariL
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Punting with Lukaku. Kane & Raphinha to Lukaku & Bernardo done. 3x Liv, 3x Che, 2x City:

    Sanchez
    TAA / Rudiger / Alonso
    Salah / Foden / Jota / Bernardo / ESR
    Lukaku / Antonio

    Steele / White / Livra / Davis

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Incredible FPL team that, really nice

      1. JariL
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks man. Cancelo and Bowen the two players I'm most worried about not owning.

    2. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tempted to join you on Lukaku.. either him or cr7 for vardy

    3. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku slight risk as he may not start all games.

      1. JariL
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, there's a risk. But with Havertz injured I expect him to play almost all games. Should be ready to start now after playing 45mins this weekend.

      2. MikeS
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Same with most strikers.. eg cr7 and vardy

  26. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ditch Vardy now or give him the Newcastle game?

    1. MikeS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ditch

    WC...appreciate your comments! 0 mib
    Ramsdale - Foster
    James - TAA - Cancelo - Reguilon - Livra
    Mount - Son - Salah - Jota - Bernado
    Antonio - King - Broja

    1. JBG
      • 6 Years

      Looks very good tbh.

      • 12 Years

      Top notch, Reguilon could be one to watch - players don't always have the same view as their medical team!

  28. FFSbet.com

    Better option here

    A) Ronaldo + Mbeumo

    B) Son + Watkins

      Similar position - second lousy week in succession.
