That means Kepa Arrizabalaga, Milos Kerkez and Justin Kluivert, the only players on show with a double-digit ownership in the top 10k, all start.

Ruben Amorim makes five changes to his starting XI, however.

Harry MaguireLeny YoroLuke ShawCasemiro and Bruno Fernandes come in.

Victor Lindelof, Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen drop to the bench.

      Grow up, seriously, Manchester are 16th. Referees helping thing is a joke now.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        They're avoiding relegation because of the help of refs.

        1. Zilla

    Yay at least Kluivert got locked cleanie!

  7. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    That goal cost kepa 7 points

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Don’t want to hear that

    2. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      I don't have Kepa but its a horse turd feature of the game that he could have got injured and come off on 89 mins and got all those points but because he kept a clean until 95 but not beyond he gets penalised. Its like the bonus rewarding strikers for missing sitters provided they hit the target. Some really dumb quirks of the game. Get yourself 90 minute men unless they are defenders in which case just get yourself 60 minute men to be on the safe side.

  8. Prinzhorn
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    FFS my beautiful Kepa points

    1. Prinzhorn
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Kepa owners didnt deserve this

      Should have gone template with Pope/Sa

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        Yeah f it really

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

  10. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Yay!

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        Ah damn will be removed now it’s an Ugarte assist Hojlund G 🙁

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Right? For what, exactly?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        It will be for the assist but now goal given to Hojlund so don’t think it will stick as can’t have 27 BPS without a return surely, unless I’m back in luck lol

        1. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          He's showing as 28 now! Ugarte only on 22!

    3. Prinzhorn
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Classic FPL bs

  11. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    This game is useless

    1. DeSelby
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      The quality of the refereeing is scandalous.

  12. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    Average BB and cracking FH, into the top 20k but now my team is a mess. What to prioritise changing here for the run in?
    Mo (nothing to play for assuming Pool win today)
    Saka (nothing to play for and CL)
    Rashford (lots to play for but injured)
    Savinho (rotation)
    Sarr and Mateta (FA Cup focused)

    Feels like I want Mbuemo and Wood back.

  13. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    I am so, so, SO annoyed. 7 preious points gone from Kepa.

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Yep Evanilson red and kerkez

      Shambles

  14. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    Since game week 32 I've lost 20 points to last gap goals.

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Sels, Areola and now Kepa. What stings the most is that I have Sa on the bench.

      1. Prinzhorn
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        That is Absolutely disgusting bro

      2. Tommy Template
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        that's rough going. Certainly would be in favour of them giving some points for getting a clean past a certain stage of the match and then more if its all the game. The all or nothing nature of cleans is just too volatile.

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        Ouch and they try to claim fpl isn’t luck, what is the points swing there? Must be massive, hundreds of thousands of rank

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          Yeah, I'd Sanchez. Didn't want the stress of the double-up. That has really annoyed me, TBH.

        2. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          Who claims it’s not luck? There’s a huge amount of luck involved once the players take the field.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 20 days ago

            Well the fact we even have a content creator market and community lends itself towards there being a lot of ‘skill’ involved, otherwise may as well just pick anyone and rely on luck

            1. Tommy Template
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 20 days ago

              I think the skills in not falling for traps, keeping your head, not doing stupid things as much as doing the right things which are obvious most of the time. All things I'm guilty of (the bad bits) so I'm lacking in skill as well as luck most years.

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                7 months, 20 days ago

                Yeah I know what you mean, but interestingly I’ve done really well managing a second team this season where I’ve gone early on ‘traps’, enjoyed his 4 goals vs Brighton for example.

                Also jumped on Evanilson during his purple patch, double Forest defense etc.

                So I think again it’s just luck, those punts could have easily not paid off, if it was in my main team I certainly wouldn’t go for it for example, so I’m learning next season to take more risks on supposed traps

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  7 months, 20 days ago

                  *Palmer the first bit

  15. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    They’ve sent off a player for slipping, yet not sent one off in the first half which is clearly a red. Mind boggling.

    1. Waylander
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      The slip was unfortunate but it does cause a red card offence tackle. 2 feet, studs showing, miss the ball completely, feet at ankle and knee height.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        It’s just common sense though, it’s a slip. No force. Usually the criteria they use.

        1. Tommy Template
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          Did they not overturn a Bruno red from earlier in the season for this very thing?

        2. Waylander
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          He’s already diving in. There’s enough force to break the guys ankle. No malice, just clumsy and bad luck but it’s a red card.

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Can I just ask - do you have any bias towards this? Bournemouth fan or own Bournemouth players?

      The calls were correct, marginally.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        I own Evanilson. However, I am capable of determining whether a decision is incorrect despite your suggestion otherwise. My opinion is not in the minority, either.

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          😀

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 20 days ago

            Nice response, sums it up.

            1. BIGREDDOG
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 20 days ago

              Don't blame you for being frustrated but you owning Evanilson does indeed sum it up.

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 8 Years
                7 months, 20 days ago

                What does that even mean? You’re a wind up merchant, which is fine.

        2. BIGREDDOG
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          Definitely unfortunate with the slip.

  16. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    The big question is not it pool will win but by how many?

    I am predicting an absolute spanking for the pathetic excuse of a football team known as spurs, 5-0 pool..

    1. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Pool have definitely looked more on edge of late. I expected a spanking of Leicester and West Ham and they didn't come. Might be one of those where if they score early the floodgates open. Probably helps the atmosphere will be a massive party regardless as they don't need to win.

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Spurs to win 0-1 ....the hype around Liverpool is ridiculous....an average team in a poor league.

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 20 days ago

        Cheery soul aren’t you ?!!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

          I hope you come back after 90 mins when Diaz and Salah have done fook all

        2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 20 days ago

    3. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Hopefully bro!!! Need to teach Ange’s team a lesson today.

    4. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Would love a spurs win to kill the celebratory mood

    5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Don't start me on the Content creators band waggon of Diaz....so called experts all tipping him......he's nothing more than average

    6. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Think it will be tighter something like 2-1 or 3-1

  17. Wizard of Ozil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    God I hate Man Utd.
    96 min equaliser to wipe my Kepa and kerkez Clean sheet. Fuming is not the word!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Especially when a non free hit rival has completely out scored my free hit.

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      Double Bournemouth defence on free hit. You reap what you sow

    2. Wizard of Ozil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      I picked kerkez over Sessengnon who is first on bench alongside Cucurella. Story of my season. I have. Counted my bench points to be about 250 this season

    3. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      And to add to insult Bruno gets 2 bonus for doing fck all!

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 20 days ago

    Didn’t watch the game, was it really right to add 9 minutes?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 20 days ago

      More like 8

  19. Vazza
    • 5 Years

    Scarlett isn’t even on the bench for Spurs

  20. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 19 days ago

    Is it better to activate Assistant Manager this week or leave it to next? Which one gives the better three week options?
