Premier League thread (39 Viewers)

[SBT]

I wouldn’t otherwise be bothered watching most of the games. Free and fun to have a go

Yeah I’ve been doing it this season for the first time and really enjoyed it. Have played the NFL version for years and loved it too - it’s one of the reasons for the sport being so insanely dominant in the US, so I have to wonder what it’ll do for football over here.

Has FPL always been this big? Anecdotally I see/hear a lot more of this kind of chat, I wonder if the Premier League is going to go the same way as the NFL, where the games often become secondary to their fantasy implications.

I reckon I've watched two or three times more football in the PL this year as a result of having a fantasy team for the first time.

It definitely breeds an irrational hatred of some players too.

Or in my case Guardiola for repeatedly taking Haaland off early

Rubbish pen from Saka.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Deja vu for Arsenal

Rubbish pen from Saka.

Even worse than his one to flap the Euros

 

[Paul Anthony]

Ramsdale should be saving that, completely flapped it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That's the equivalent of Gerrard's slip

I play both nfl and pl, I prefer the nfl one as it is a live draft where we all sit in our houses and do it like the draft.

Yeah I’d love to do a draft version of FPL! (No idea how it’d work, mind)

 

[Evo1883]

Arsenal surely fucked it now.. got to go to the etihad and dropping silly points

 

[Boosh]

Saka has to be the most overrated player in the world. Nowhere near Grealish’s levels

There is one I do that as well

Maguire booked after 2 minutes for being caught out

He's shite

Say what you like about Leicester, but you've got to begrudgingly admire the amount of money they rinsed out of United for him.

Unreal business

 

[CCFCSteve]

Silly price but that’s not really Maguires fault and I think he gets a bit of a raw deal. United fans have obviously damaged his confidence. Always been pretty decent for England

Edit - Saying all that knowing he’s probably got another OG in him today

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Unreal business

Second only to the £3 million Wigan got for Will Grigg

Best negotiation ever on Sunderland til I die

Rubbish pen from Saka.

Saka's in my FPL team. Zero points for him and Zinchenko today for me.

I have Ramsdale, White and Gabriel. At least one of them got an assist

I have Martinelli so at least got an assist from him. But was hoping my Arsenal players would be differentials this week.

Jesse Lingard waiting on the touchline to come on, with the body language of someone about to attend a funeral service.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Forest haven’t looked great.

 

[no_loyalty]

Next two for Forest, away at Liverpool and home to Brighton.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Harsh as they were playing a good side but Forest look crap.

 

[Boosh]

@Ccfcisparks isn’t handling his exile well

 

[PVA]

14 defeats in Lampard's last 17 games for Chelsea and Everton. Ouch.

Didn't realise he'd done that well to be honest.

Another blatant hand ball for Liverpool goes unpunished for their goal. The only thing that VAR shows up is how loaded things are towards the bigger clubs

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

HT 2 mistakes by Leeds 2 goals Liverpool .

Carragher trying to explain it away it was handball and it was a big part of the move

Chelsea now looking at Nagelsmann who if he has any sense won't touch the job with a bargepole

Julian Nagelsmann: Chelsea hold talks with former Bayern Munich manager

Chelsea hold talks with former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann as part of their search for a new manager.

Salah ruled offside by VAR which would have made it 4-1

If you have to zoom in on an offside review to check if the attacker is ahead of the defender then it's too close to be a 'clear and obvious error' and the benefit of the doubt should go to the attacker
