Bloody heck De Gea. That's opened the game up in a way no-one wanted now.

From a few mins before almost seeing Shaw score, and make me wish I'd brought him in, to suddenly not even a cleany.

Worst case scenario. DCL on bench scores a 95th min equaliser. Fuming at that throw away.

DCL looking pretty good on the bench right now.
I don't even care. Livid at that draw.

Can't believe:

United lost
DCL scored (I benched him for Gundo last minute)
Antonio bust

Horrible week so far :lol:

Here to hide away in a little corner due to all my anger from watching that.

Seems a lot of us have DCL first off the bench, can’t see anyway he comes in though. Gundo, Salah and Bamford must all play.

Salah or Son for me so I have definitely lost those PTS.

Absolute joke.

It was looking like a good decision at half time. Worse that I brought in Antonio and captained him. Would have been better to just leave my team as it was last week.

Can someone please explain how DCL has claimed an assist for Everton's first goal?

It was clearly a cross and certainly not a shot or on target. De Gea parried the ball and clearly diverted it into the path of Doucoure.

I had a similar scenario with Chillwell a few weeks ago where his cross was parried by Aerola and then turned in, yet no assist was awarded!

It's the intention in the pass that matters. He intended the ball for Doucoure, so it counts as an assist.

Doesn't count as an assist in real football but in FPL they count it. It really is a daft rule.

To he honest, I’m glad the give it in FPL. You want it to be as exciting as possible, and there would be so many goals with no assist given if that situation didn’t count as one

Annoying as Dcl was looking anonymous for the first half and suddenly gets a haul.
That's fantasy footy though. No doubt he scores 2&2 in his double when we play him.

I benched Cresswell because I thought they’d concede again. Bad choice. Went with Barnes in for him, maybe he will still get me something tomorrow...

Aplogies to the majority on here but I'm delighted with DCL's haul from last night. Just suprised he got assist points for Everton's 1st goal.

So far, I'm on 30 points with 7 players left to play. Clean sheets from Spurs, City and Chelsea with a goal or two from Gundogan would be much appreciated.

Time to start devising a Kane-In plan.

Even more annoyed that I Captain Antonio over Son now.

Looks like a rush job coming back.

They have City away next so no need to bring him back so soon. I'll almost certainly take out DCL to bring him in but not sure which midfielder to downgrade. I could do Maddison to Saka or even get shot of Salah / Son if their form doesn't improve too.

I’ve got Kane as first sub and he won’t play so expecting a big goal haul today from him.

Ah, the annual rush back from injury for Kane. He'll still probably haul and give us all a headache for coming weeks :lol:

That’s my immediate thought. Not sure I’ll rush to get him back in too soon. Although I think they have quite favourable fixtures coming up
I think Spurs are in such a dire state it has all the hall marks of playing a player who hasn't fully recovered. They have City next so I'm in no rush to bring him back, will wait and see how he does the next two games.

That’s what everyone said last time Spurs had their ‘difficult’ run before they played good Mourinho-ball and beat them

I meant for GW26

Sonny boy, get another return please! No where near the bonus at the moment.

DCL first on the bench like so many others. Should have known we'd shit the fecking bed. Think I'll leave him for Fulham then get Kane back in.
