    Anyone following this account?

    He says he has all the line ups leaked to him.

    https://twitter.com/FplLeaker

    He only had 200 odd followers this morning and joined Twitter this month. There isn't a pinch of salt big enough

    It’s enough to create doubt for me :(

    This is one of the main problems with FPL unfortunately, way too easy for spoofers like him to make an account with some “in the know” tips, and then just delete the account and start again if he is wrong.

    He may well be right, but I am highly sceptical that someone with an inside source to multiple clubs hours before kick off has decided that right now is the time to join Twitter and start dishing out advice.

    He claims he bought the information on the line ups with the intention of getting attention on Twitter and do whatever you can do to make the money back this way. I've no idea.

    If it sounds like BS and smells like BS

    Has to be nonsense no way a club has to divulge the line up at 1 o clock like he said.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,822 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Maybe with Covid 19 teams have to be in earlier for obvious reasons.

    He has 6 Top 1,000,000 finishes.




    The more worrying thing is that he has put that in his bio.

    What would those obvious reasons be though? The match day squad will all be together and present anyway.

    Lads he's full of ****, ignore him. He just gave the villa lineup without McGinn and then followed it up with McGinn starts!

    And he just tweeted that Bellerin starts in place of Sokratis who has failed a fitness test.

    However that was reported 5 minutes earlier. A total attention seeker.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    Only one account I'd trust on Twitter for team news

    Let's see if @Fpl_rockstar posts anything just before the deadline


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,150 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting



    Yeah this is fake as well.

    You know why? Firstly the column for Sheffield United is all misaligned.

    And secondly the Sheffield United sub Panagiotis Retsos is spelt wrong.

    Bellerin was reported from a reputable source?

    I was looking for my gamble.

    I'm hard pressed to type out my lineups here never mind going to that effort to troll Twitter. Some people have too much time on their hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,935 ✭✭✭shmeee



    The state of that, the font, me eyes! At least do a fake, put some effort into it :D

    Yes from Chris Wheatley. Goal.com's Arsenal correspondent.

    He tweeted this in the replies too:
    "Got sent it. Don't shoot the messenger"

    He's not exactly standing by it either!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Thoughts on this for a FH?

    Leno
    Doherty Stevens Egan
    Fernandes Sterling KdB Grealish
    Aguero Auba Abraham

    I see our friend leaker retweeted him without question.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,428 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Any love for the Liverpool youngsters for those without a WC?
    I’ve stuck Curtis Jones in, he seems the most likely to get minutes
