    Salah number 1 penalty taker according to Klopp today, anyone with Firmino should be worried!

    Have De Gea(Pool A) and Elliot( SaintsA)......as my keepers.

    Am I mad to consider picking Elliot over De Gea this week?
    Have a feeling Liverpool will score v Utd.
    What are Southampton like at home lately?

    Not exactly looking like a high-scoring weekend, unless owners have doubled up on City midfielders!

    Somebody somewhere will have DDG, Jones, Jesus, TPT, Sterling, kdb and Erikson in their team.

    Just transfer him out in that case. Took more great saves to stop him scoring today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Eriksen is the highest scoring player in the game. I'm surprised at that slipping under the radar a bit.

    He's a fantastic player and fantasy asset. I had him most of last year and for some reason I started without him this year, got him in GW4 wildcard and he's staying in my team bar injury, I'd probably sell Kane ahead of him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Islander13


    I think its time to get rid of Lukaku. He's a great player and had him since GW1 but when he hits a dry patch it tends to last and I don't think he's in the Aguero/Kane class for scoring v the bigger teams. Just need to figure out Peps thoughts somehow re playing Jesus and Aguero or rotating the two

    He is going out for Morata for me, maybe after this week

    Having a terrible year and can't get anything right from week one. Week 7 transfers I did early and dumped Jones. This week I said I'd wait instead of doing Morata to Jesus, I brought in Aguero. I lost a bunch of money as well as points. Not enjoying it at all and thinking of taking a break, which I won't of course.

    Similar it is all going t*ts up for me as well.
    I was convinced that Chelsea would hammer Palace so much so I took an 8 point with two free transfers to get Batshuayi and Hazard silva and Naughton.
    I captained Hazard who did f**k all without a striker to hold up the ball.
    Worse still Batshuayi throws a hissy fit when he is taken off to rub salt into the wounds.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Similar pain here. I've held off on getting rid of Alonso for 3 weeks because they had Palace coming up... CS and serious chance of attacking points. Was downgrading to Jones. If I'd have pulled the trigger 3 weeks ago I'd be 15 pts better off.

    Last year, i was at 27k at game week 10. After game week 20 i had fallen to 1.2 million. I was lucky but ended the season at 9.5k.
    Keep the head up, you will come good in the end.

    Just watching the Watford game now.

    I’d be shocked if there is any retrospective action taken for the Richarlison penalty.

    I’d be shocked if there is any retrospective action taken for the Richarlison penalty.

    An FA panel have already said there is no action to be taken against him.
    Watford forward Richarlison will not be punished for simulation after he won his side a penalty in a 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.

    The Brazilian, 20, went down following a challenge from Hector Bellerin to earn a spot-kick which allowed the Hornets to equalise.

    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger called the penalty award a "scandalous decision".

    The incident did go to a Football Association simulation panel but they decided there was no case to answer.

    Shakespeare sacked as Leicester manager....it's almost like one of those tragic plays written by that famous English writer who's name I can't remember right now.

    Not sure what effect this might have on anything FPL related though given how meh they've been for the past while


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 42,020 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    I'd fancy Tuchel will be mentioned a lot in the media over the next few days.

    Big Sam too.

    I didn't realise how ****e they were till I saw them last night. Vardy hardly had a touch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Its why I stayed away from vardy on wildcard . Although he has done well they have been very poor so far.

    They have great fixtures coming up.
    But Leicester only know how to play a certain way.
    A new manager would have to rip it up and start again if he departed from their tried and tested formula.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
