    2. F4L

    3. Gubby-Allen

    2 returns out of 8 players ๐Ÿ™

    1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

      • 4 Years
      5 hours, 13 mins ago

      Bench Boost?

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 hours, 12 mins ago

      That's probably 2x more returns than most people.

      STOP BRAGGING!

  10. Haa-lala-land

    Due to receiving the red card, does Sanchez get -1 point for every single goal Chelsea concede without him now? Or -1 still every two goals?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      5 hours, 55 mins ago

      The latter

      1. Camino Aleatorio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 hours, 10 mins ago

        -1 after a 2nd goal. You get punished like you are still there.

        Sanchez owners not happy.

    My team is utterly sickening me...might just have to wildcard it away tonight
    Wirtz, Palmer, Watkins, 2 Forest at the back, Reijnders, De Cuyper, Guiu...all making me ill every week

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      5 hours, 11 mins ago

      Easy WC

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      5 hours, 11 mins ago

      i’d keep Reijnders

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 hours, 10 mins ago

      De Cuyper alone is worth the WC

  12. Gizzachance
    • 10 Years

    Just tuned in, palmer injured again?

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      5 hours, 12 mins ago

      Yes very

      1. Gizzachance

    2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

      Maybe he slipped after he got subbed off tactically.

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 13 Years
        5 hours, 11 mins ago

        Heard this too

      2. Gizzachance
        • 10 Years
        5 hours, 11 mins ago

        Few w/c decisions no doubt
        Cheers

  13. C0YS

    Rank these enabler midfielders:

    A. Anthony
    B. Caicedo
    C. Reijnders
    D. Cullen
    E. Garner
    F. Other?

    Still very much a watch-and-observe situation for both, but which premium are you leaning towards owning atm?

    1. Isak
    2. Palmer

    Curious where everyone else is at with these 2 decisions.

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      5 hours, 12 mins ago

      c
      ...
      ...

      2

    2. Gizzachance
      • 10 Years
      5 hours, 10 mins ago

    Is Palmer injured?

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 3 Years
      5 hours, 8 mins ago

      Yes. Lot of people just turning on and asking the same question.

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. Gubby-Allen

    Casemiro goal

  21. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    5 hours, 52 mins ago

    A true Amorim masterclass. People don’t understand his brilliance but forcing Sanchez to commit that foul has really turned the game.

  22. F4L
    • 10 Years
    5 hours, 51 mins ago

    casemiro g

  23. Kaneyonero

  24. KAPTAIN KANE!
    • 8 Years

    Casemiro points at least

  25. nonaynever

    Mbeumo assist?

    1. F4L
      • 10 Years
      5 hours, 7 mins ago

      shaw or maguire sadly

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 hours, 7 mins ago

      Shaw it seems

  27. KAPTAIN KANE!
    • 8 Years
    5 hours, 50 mins ago

    Palmer warming up to come back on

    1. KAPTAIN KANE!
      • 8 Years
      5 hours, 50 mins ago

      That will be all subs used by 40 minutes

    2. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      5 hours, 41 mins ago

      I think he just hadn’t finished warming up before he went off.

  28. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 hours, 50 mins ago

    Obviously should call starting Sanchez over Dubravka as a mistake on my side?

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 13 Years
      5 hours, 5 mins ago

      Starting Sels over Dubravka appears to have been a mistake on mine, even.

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 4 Years
      5 hours, 5 mins ago

      Surely you can find someone else to blame

  29. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    5 hours, 49 mins ago

    Is Pedro still on the pitch?
