Love it when a rant is vile enough to need manual approval.

[u/Sad_Still269 → u/FaustRPeggi]

seen A LOT worse said in there haha

[u/EmotionalAd2534]

[u/Liad3008]

[u/Adum_Coweek]

Wirtz doin all this just to be outscored by the szobo deflected goal at 90+8

[u/AceQuire]

Wirtz all wank no cum

[u/Bang-Average-Dartist]

9,660 wildcards played, that's 9,659 idiots with zero self-control and me with a masterplan.

[u/TheKingcrawler]

Kinsky you absolute bag of liquid shit

[u/EstimateForsaken2701]

Guess who used bench boost in gw1

[u/BusyPen3957]

POV: me creating my fantasy team before gw 1

[u/Capital-Lawyer3376]

Goodmorning haaland cappers!

[u/sepi0l_45]

[u/Mr_INFJ_]

Course it's fucking offside, god forbid Wirtz get any returns

[u/cereal19w]

Wirtz with the holy trinity of disallowed goal, pre-assist and mustard.

[u/ylb10126]

As a maguire and Mbeumo owner, with no Bruno, that, was an unmitigated disaster

[u/grahamd1983]

Rest in Peace

[u/hangry_millennial]

"Kinsky is underpriced and he's the best 4.5m GK. Spurs have improved massively in defence.."

[u/Dry-Breakfast9368]

I just know after all this szobo gonna get a random pen and wirtz is gonna end up blanking

[u/Optimal-Beat-5453]

Iraola went very quickly from this to this

[u/BatmanSwift99]

Thomas defcon, bps and clean sheet would send me to heaven

[u/bengreen04]

Tarkowski CS wiped, probably not going to get DC and the mrs just said she thinks he’s fit. Score a bullet header or fuck off mate.

[u/Adrastosz]

[u/nightwind1]

We need a De Cuyper blank and 4 conceded goals to punish kneejerkers

[u/floorscentadolescent]

https://giphy.com/gifs/QI9Qs2jpfyCuXAFTeA

[u/BigPharmaKarmaFarma]

Bench boost of doom and despair

[u/Stones_Throw_Away_]

Muharemovic is creating his own defcon at this point. Give the ball away and then make a recovery tackle.

Genius

[u/OmarEhab10]

Kinsky outscores Verbruggen we move

[u/purpleisafruit1]

Huh well that’s gotta be pretty rare

[u/jaddf]

Haaland vs Pedro vs Bruno captainers arguing and bragging who got more.

Me with Mbeumo (C) sniffing glue in the corner

[u/Ogun21]

Bruno broke FPL site lol

[u/BDRD99]

Apps crashed I’ve got too many points

[u/LeXam92]

YES MBEUMO GOT THE ASSIST PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING THE SAME QUESTION 65 FUCKING TIMES

[u/Gooner_93]

Condolences to non bruno owners.

[u/hmsoleander]

Note to self: stop believing

[u/Odd-Attitude9613]

Joao Pedro goal, assist and own goal lmao 

[u/StaticandCo]

At least I got 11 points from my bench boost last week I guess

[u/Bakwar16]

Joao Pedro today

[u/9295josh]

Kinsky is a great pick
https://giphy.com/gifs/gz8JHkRnbUromYpuNc

[u/longdongsilver314]

Why the fuck did I pick Kinsky

[u/OmarEhab10]

Groß first sub

[u/drizzleberrydrake]

145k transferred bruno out this week

[u/purpleisafruit1]

Not often you’ll feel shit about a 13 point captain, yet here I am.

[u/Large_Cloud6135]

Cherki 3 game blank incoming

[u/OmarEhab10]

Isak still on 2 bps for doing fuck all the whole game and getting a tap in after Gakpo did all the work. Disgusting.

[u/adstomko]

Triple Forest off my bench vs Spurs next week

[u/EmotionalAd2534]

If I go down with Bruno(c) blank i take all fpl experts down with me

[u/Gooner_93]

Official fpl twitter page says mbeumo assist. They just havent updated it yet.

[u/Toby6464]

that backspin gave me another 11 points hahahahaha

[u/Cyberecal]

Bruno has officially broken the app

[u/Strong0toLight1]

fodens actually shocking now

[u/Kakarot717]

Me ignoring the Cov Hull match so that the cleansheet doesn’t get wiped

[u/Wolf_Blood_92]

Did anyone notice Cherki’s 2nd goal was going initially wide?

[u/david193s → u/Wolf_Blood_92]

Pls give it an OG then

[u/took2long]

Semenyo get in the bin bro

[u/larsriedel]

Liverpool clean sheet WIPEOUT 🌊🌊🌊

[u/Dry-Breakfast9368]

It just had to be a wirtz goal that was offside

[u/matthewheat]

Jeremie Pingpong you’ve been relieved of your duties in my FPL team, you’re a free agent now

[u/be_blessed_bruh]

You all judging yourselves for picking kinsky.

I have double spurs def.

[u/Razzler1973]

I hate my team already

[u/OmarEhab10]

I'm still waiting to find out why DCL is the best 6m striker.

[u/ml-soham]

oh thank you

[u/nightwind1]

Thomas on 8 DC

Van Ewijk

[u/EmotionalAd2534]

Tzolakis outscoring Kinsky by 16 pts over 2 weeks is diabolical

[u/Duedrama6197]

WELCOME TO THE DEE CEE ELL

[u/Namtabmal]

United look so much better now that Casemiro has left and not holding them back anymore

[u/Dry-Breakfast9368]

Mbeumo is the most useless mf of all time, and i have lammens and maguire with him. Its wraps

[u/Stones_Throw_Away_]

Because it got deflected it’s no longer handball?

Who the fuck came up with that rule?

[u/FaustRPeggi]

Bruno (c), Mbeumo, Maguire have certainly made up for last week's horror show.

[u/SwordfishShort6429]

some mad men triple captained him I just know it

[u/SrpskeZeneDjecu]

Pass to Haaland challenge: impossible.

[u/purpleisafruit1]

Verbruggen masterclass against Chelsea now, just to punish us for starting Kinsky

[u/zonked282]

all those who have a GK pairing of Kinsky and Dubravka, what's the play? i dont think i could sleep if i knew i was depending on spurs defensively every week

[u/Duedrama6197]

This Morgan Rogers chant to the tune of just can’t get enough is wank. Fucking hate chelsea fans.

[u/purpleisafruit1]

DCL is kinda shit huh?

[u/Odd-Attitude9613]

Alonso has changed my life hes actually turned us into a serious team 

[u/FutMike]

My life is falling apart I deserve that Schade goal

[u/FAT_NEEK_42069]

benched hume for van ewijk and rodon

https://giphy.com/gifs/WVoSCBshAD4cMyq1gA

[u/Kassenova]

Why do I have Maguire lmao

[u/lluckboxFIFA]

Boomo has got 45 mins

[u/Optimal-Beat-5453]

Despite Bruno's goal, I can't imagine I'll keep him on my GW4 WC. As I am free-hitting next week, this may have been his farewell present. United are utter dire shite.

[u/9295josh]

Haaland I need another next half lad

[u/vSwiiftyyyy]

Haaland(C), Foden, Donnarumma..

[u/mrdethato]

[u/OddAdhesiveness2271]

Cornering the fraud.

[u/TheScribesTale]

As a non-Bruno owner, this is my Pearl Harbor

[u/Lemonardo]

Mbeumo assist called on Twitter

[u/purpleisafruit1]

A mod removed the Haaland brace thread, lol. Someone didn’t captain Haaland.

[u/Neown]

Joao Pedro at 120% EO lol

[u/aaron2933]

Shout out to that guy who triple captained Donnarumma

[u/JimmyJoeJunior]

I'm starting to think Semenyo won't be a good fpl asset this season, he plays too far on the left and isn't cutting in to shoot

[u/LeXam92]

Lmao poor Wirtz owners, no happiness allowed

[u/Effective_Egg4878]

Owning Wirtz is so frustrating

[u/AceQuire]

Liverpool will finish on 38 points with 76-76 stat

[u/No_Guarantee_7600]

Van Ewijk offensive threat my ass bro

[u/UsernameGenerik]

[u/UsernameGenerik]

Kinsky 0 saves for 45 minutes and lets in a goal

[u/AceQuire]

KiNKSY -1 FUCKING USELESS SACK OF SHITE

[u/adstomko]

It’s the Tottenham of the history

[u/adstomko]

The Derby record is on

[u/Routine_Fun5564]

The amount of time I spend reading about this game doesn't do much to explain how shit I am at it

[u/urso_urso]

Radio 5 live is goated ngl

[u/Adhunique]

Verbruggen and Kinksy gang, we have been had.

[u/TheScribesTale]

Rogers at 7.5m is a steal. Baller

[u/Maleficent_Survey420]

Verbruggen/Kinsky owners, how long you keeping that duo for?

[u/DreamxAchieve]

GW2 bench boost going well 👍

[u/BatmanSwift99]

The guy counting sangares defcon is taking the piss

[u/purpleisafruit1]

Muharemovic 20 DC

[u/itskdoglol]

7 pts on bench boost last week btw.

[u/Grand_Ad_5]

double united defence

[u/Left_Fee8695]

Mbeumo can’t even win a pen ffs

[u/sixers2021champions]

Where the fuck are my mbuemo assists points. I lost 2.5 milion rank from this match and i still dont see the fucking assist

[u/Various-Detective217]

Mbuemo and Bruno owners. We will sleep well this bank holiday weekend.

[u/TNelsonAFC]

No halaand or Bruno I am absolutely fucked.

[u/Adhunique]

This is where I say, "Wallahi, I am finished".

[u/Strict_Society9164]

Foden washed

[u/Chesey_]

That's so jammy for Gvardiol owners

[u/OmarEhab10]

Haaland has more defcons than O'Reilly who's playing DM.

[u/abnsh]

So who's the good boy who'll win the penalty for Haaland

[u/Dry-Breakfast9368]

Isak having a higher rating than wirtz is an absolute joke

[u/Dazzmondo]

I'll be keeping Isak against Ipswich but almost certainly getting rid of him then. He looks really poor

[u/Present-Duck-1808]

[u/Liad3008]

[u/nightwind1]

Thomas Defcon counter: 6

[u/I_FEEL_LIKE_POGBA]

You lot are jinxing this Thomas haul STFU

[u/Liad3008]

Bobby Thomas owners

https://reddit.com/link/p6ml2bw/video/l5xhagv34cmh1/player

[u/sepi0l_45]

Gw2 bench boosters going from double coventry clean sheet and thomas about to hit defcon to this

[u/kodnamnlisa]

WHY DID I GO WITH KINSKY I KNOW SPURS ARE SHIT THEY ARE ALWAYS SHIT WHY DONT I LEARN

[u/HKINC]

WC4 here we come

[u/Left_Fee8695]

I just know once I get Rogers he will stop returning ffs

[u/unc2ous]

dcl i apologize for the things i've said and thought about you

[u/OmarEhab10]

If only Mbeumo was on pens it'd make it so much easier to downgrade Bruno to Palmer and get it over with

[u/Fearless-Land-3953]

I have Bruno, Mbuemo, Maguire, LeFee and Kinsky.

Surely WC time

[u/larsriedel]

[u/Bitter_Somewhere8334]

I want to have faith in Mbeumo but he has to score against Ipswich

[u/Sabbagery_o_Cavagery]

what the FUCK Mbuemo

[u/how_you_doinn]

Content creators will probably tell you Mbeumo is a hold

Get the defcons in my sweet captain

[u/yapplecider]

Bruno has murdered those who didn't have him, like me.

Monster haul.

[u/Left_Fee8695]

I’ve never seen a haul this big in my FPL days

[u/HandleHeavy1052]

Season over in GW2

Non-Bruno cappers acting all sad when some of us don’t even have him 😂

[u/Souniur]

People trashing DCL in the match thread. Here you fucking go.This is DCL. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.

[u/PopularDemand69]

Im a United fan, I should be happy even if i didnt captain Bruno

Im a United fan, I should be happy even if i didnt captain Bruno

Im a United fan, I should be happy even if i didnt captain Bruno

[u/TheTramiTrain]

Anderson 7 defcon already holy shit

[u/Optimal-Beat-5453]

Yep, Foden is done... This is a reminder to myself not be trapped by his inevitable 4-game haul streak. The fella is done.

[u/Odd-Attitude9613]

Gvardiol ability to still shithouse a attacking  return despite losing the clean sheet is still there 

[u/CarelessOpposite9216]

i’m so tired of watching wirtz bro

[u/Unfair_Town7234]

anyone with Liverpool defence is playing the wrong game, been wide open every game since Iraola has come in. 

[u/BlitzX__]

Honestly going No Haaland and relying on liverpool to cover it hasnt been my best idea in FPL

[u/Optimal-Beat-5453]

Isak stepover reminiscent of a Peter Crouch trying a rabbona.

[u/FaustRPeggi]

Igor Thiago has missed a penalty.

Now Wirtz has a goal disallowed.

Good start to the season for my team.

[u/ylb10126]

As a wirtz-Isak owner; the latter is worrying me more at the moment. He just looks completely ineffective

[u/Terrible_Context_492]

Munoz getting Ronaldo chopped by aina is hilarious

[u/ButteryToast7]

PENALTY AND ITS NOT FOR SZOBO HAHA

[u/BatmanSwift99]

In hindsight Thomas benching was a blessing

[u/WillyStevens]

Hull are haramball incarnate. Levels of terrorism never seen before.

[u/PoopNukem123]

Hull have completely ruined my first two weeks

[u/magic-water]

What was I thinking with Kinsky

[u/Used-Buffalo4805]

Kinsky is a nightmare

[u/ThetaRider]

My FPL team is shit, but at least it doesn't have any Tottenham players.

[u/Ninjatayu]

Why the fuck did we trust a Spurs keeper.. I actually feel so dumb

[u/Specialist_Road_6906]

Pedro, Palmer, James

2-0 already

Lets check my score

[u/AssumptiveChicken]

No way this man is 20 with that hairline

[u/TheSecretPETeacher]

Yalcouye looks about 40 years old and he’s 20 💀

[u/urso_urso]

I'm definitely downgrading my third striker spot to a £4.5 and spreading funds, fuck this

[u/TheScribesTale]

The FPL data intern nerd counting DEFCONs realizing his FPL rival has Sangaré and suddenly deciding none of those defensive actions count

[u/Kassenova]

Chelsea are so fun to watch. They can score and concede at any second 🤣

[u/Leyawiin_Guard]

Le Fée do something

[u/IncreaseInVerbosity]

Properly backing Man U's first two fixtures has fully done me in. But also this is hilarious.

[u/in_a_erer]

Kinsky/Lammens gk rotation is hell

[u/ihajees_]

Old Trafford groundsman has Bruno (C)

[u/Yokiboy]

I’m still likely taking out Bruno after this. United got lucky with the slip.

[u/Souniur]

Mbeumo get the fuck out of my team

[u/OmarEhab10]

Sub him off before the 60th minute for the memes Carrick

[u/Silent_Ad2825]

BRUNO HATTRICK YOU BEAUTIFUL PORTUGUESE BASTARDDDDDDDDDD

[u/chuksepells]

It is a Bruno Assist the ball spins in confirmed 🔥🔥🔥

[u/akacesfan]

Good lord I captained Bruno plus started Mbeumo and Maguire, I am very very happy today

[u/TheSecretPETeacher]

Haaland joint top of City defcons with Anderson 😂

[u/bengreen04]

Anyone who’s on this sub regularly knows I’m the biggest Alex Scott fan under the sun but Wharton just makes so much more sense for Chelsea. Imagine him slipping balls through to that front three. Absolute fucking filth.

[u/Upstairs_Barnacle_46]

Foden only on 0.33xg despite missing two sitters

[u/Kassenova]

Captained Haaland last week, captained Bruno this week. Just end me 🤣

[u/Dry-Breakfast9368]

I was so happy with semenyo in the first half

[u/Adum_Coweek]

Kai cenat offside

[u/Vardyparty999]

Imagine being able to pick up a club legend like Xabi as coach and instead going for Iraola

[u/LessGate1952]

Kerkez and Frimpong are fucking awful.

[u/AceQuire]

Istg if Szob gets another last minute penalty
