De Gea was about as close to set and forget as a goalkeeper for FPL as it got last year.  He had a meh WC and while I don’t usually put much weight on WC performances for club showings the next year, if Jose can’t even park the bus successfully this year I don’t know who the hell to use as a keeper.

I'm not too sure what is happening but BHA have been gearing up to come to fighting this year, and seem to have delivered for their fans.

I'd not write Man U off just yet.  They are still quite a potent side and BHA didn't get to the Premiership and stay there by being slouches so it;s not necessarily an indicator of things to come.

Understand the concern though.  Jose is not inspiring confidence at the moment.

Oh boy that was ugly. From the boardroom to the pitch. Lack  of effort.

I’m not blaming DDG. Both goals resulted from poor central defending. Young and lindelof got victimized. Shaw was actually pretty good.

Not sure how this is gonna go. The confusion of Moyes and VG might be showing now.

Meanwhile KDB goes out for MC. No BFD.

I’m convinced the Glazers ordered the board and Wooward to play Billy Ball. Value rated players to maintain just good enough so the commercial money stays flowing. The Glazers pocket the profits and don’t reinvest.

Big problem is player costs are only going up.

It’s early. But not fun.

Easy dude.

I’ve been on this train s long time. I was the most frustrated fan last year. Ever.

Now I know the situation. The Glazers give no shits about the tradition, history or the MU Way. It’s just a cash cow to relieve their pocket echos.

Very lazy effort by several ManU players, Pogba especially.  Alternatively, Lukaku worked his butt off, only to never receive a real service.

If so pay the 12 million and cut this twat loose.  Not to say zidane will do better but it can't be as boring of play as Mourinho.

True, but only Huddersfield had as tough a start - based on last year's final table - as Arsenal. They were also thrashed by both City and Chelsea by much higher margins during the last few Wenger years.

Weekly Arf EPL Fantasy Update

Current leader: Klopps Kopsters with 134 total points

Highest point total this week: Just Groß with 81 points this game week

Biggest position change: I think Haters from 4th to 2nd.  I'll screen shot the league each week from now on to keep track. My bad.

Most points left sitting on the bench: Slackers with 12 points from bench players

Worst captain choice: Unbinned Knives and KTBFFH both captained Firmino, who earned 2 points this week.  Honorable mention to Just Groß for best choice...he captained Aguero who earned 20 points this week.

Lowest point total this week: Unbinned Knives with 44.

He won with pre fabbed teams.

I’m going with a mess a of players bought by 3 managers that don’t compliment each other.

SFA made players better and won an EPL and almost another with less than stellar men. But they were his men.

It seems like more GMs and managers are adopting the Florentino Perez model of buying the most expensive, shiniest toy available with minimal consideration of whether that player fits in with the players already there.

Jerseys are $100 a pop

Plus the draw to see a star

That’s the Glazers play. Commercial income. It won’t stop until the team stops winning tin.

I’m not totally intune to Pools organization but I like the football they play, Klopp is a dynamic personality, and they don’t have any shit bags on the roster.
Selling Furmino was good for the team. Smart move.

Tho paying that much for a GK was supprising. Same with Chelsea’s buy.

But everything is crazy. Neymar’s deal was nuts, Pogba was nuts ( I said I’d give him 2 seasons. Not impressed. ManU overpaid but they sold tickets and merch off him).

Gonna see more huge buys. Personally I hope it drives teams back to development.

Alisson struggled with his feet today.  Didn't like that at all.  Mane also couldn't make anything click for him.

But on the bright side, very glad they took the three points.  Liverpool didn't manage to get three from games like this the last few seasons.  That would have been a draw or even a loss last year or the year before.

Lots of room for improvement though.

If your not playing like a top player your values fall. No excitement for low scoring unexciting players. Mourhino has nothing to do with that. Go out and play like you care.

I’m done bashing JM. He catches heat from every one. Yet last year was a good year. Better than Pool against top 6, better than Spurs Arsenal and Chelsea. And if I dig I bet they were better against mid table too.

Admittedly I haven't watched the whole game yet but towards the end Alisson came up yuge against Groß.

That's a Texas sized 10-4 in the rest, this is the type of game past squads would drop points in. Good to see them pull off the win.
