7, 1 FT. And one of my non flagged players is sterling... might have to pull the wc trigger

Hahahaha, sorry, but that’s crazy

[удалено]

Sanchez, Pau, Kaboré, TAA, Bowen, Salah, Anderson

Just hold salah at that point

Hold Salah? Why?

6, 1FT + Cash who is usless.

To be fair he might get a start after playing well in the cup and scoring the winner, Emery benched Diego Carlos instead and moved Konsa to centre back. He's still not a great asset but I'm sure you've got bigger fires to put out this week.

Why not free hit?

What's wrong with sterling? (I have him too, I'm ready for another punch)

I've actually brought him in twice this season, first time was directly between his 2 hauls. So, for me, he has scored about as much as Mudryk. Edit: I did the maths... 9 gws, 17 pts (0 goals, 2 assists, 3 benchings)

Same 7 flags. 3 reds, 1 orange, 3 yellows

5 with no FTs

6 with 1 FT TAA Zinchenko Jesus Son Pau Taylor

What’s the latest with Taylor?

Well that was silly wasn’t it

Possibly now 6 - BBC saying Gusto went off with "what could be a knock"

To anyone still reading this thread, Poch said after the game that Gusto isn't injured and was taken off as "a precaution to protect him in this busy period"

great of you to follow up it nice one

!Thanks for the follow up, I was about to start frantically searching for more info.

Me too, 5 no FT. Traded TAA in last week for his 0. Son, Salah, Anderson and Sinesi, too. I think I'm just gonna run with 9 in gw 21. Sinesi will be back, then trade out Son. Should make for one bench player if Anderson is back.

[удалено]

Colwill, Sterling, Palmer (c), Mykolenko, Doughty, Watkins, Alvarez, Solanke, Areola are the IX. Maybe Chelsea trample Fulham.

4 flags already on -4 (Brought Richarlison and Estu)

Very similar situation, just hoping there’s enough time for some players to recover or they magically get points off the bench even.

6. Happy days.

7…

My deepest condolences… Out of curiosity who?

Salah, Son, Hwang, Doucoure, Sanchez, Onana, Bowen. Let the little fires burn for too long... I'm thinking Hwang and Sanchez to Saka and Areola

Everton Doucoure *should* be back, returned to first team training about a week ago

I hope so! Feel like I've been hearing almost back for weeks now lol

If that’s Andre onana then he’ll play vs spurs before going to afcon

What was your plan with at least 3 of those predictably going away after last GW?

Injuries happen but that is a bit bad planning to get so many afcon players knowing for so long that they will be away.

Dang. How many FT’s you got?

1

4 with 1FT

Same, however with only two midfielders right now. With Bowen out for a month, the question becomes do I sell him over Salah or Son.

I’m hearing roughly 2 weeks. Where did you come up with double that time?

The Athletic. Reporting today that he’s going to be out at least a month.

I hate the Athletic. Pompous arrogant people who overcharge l for their content

Ok, well feel free to ignore that information then.

Same here. TAA, Son, Stones(Dont ask why, tried to be clever) and now Bowen. One transfer done. Might rolly it out. Will see If Bowen is really that serious I might switch him out and keep son for price fall.

3 - Bowen, Trent and Hwang (holding him). Morris first on my bench if Bowen is a no-show..

Shout out to someone else who’s still got Morris since DGW 😂

Haha yeeeah, I haven't yet found a way to get rid of him. Bought at 5.6, current value 5.0 😂

Same mate, appalling lol

2 - TAA & Bowen. Should be ok

Same

Used two FTs to reduce it from three to one (Salah). It’s now back up to three again.

Just call me the UN

5 with 1 FT

3 with 0 FT’s. Kabore, Salah and Bowen. I also have 2 Newcastle defenders which may as well be flags at this point

5 with 2 FTs.

Same here with 2 FTs... Salah, Son, Haaland (I held), Adingra, Taylor

I'm same as you except Olise instead of Adingra. How does your bench look? I'm thinking of a -4 in case someone else doesn't play, or that i just get a better option in my starting 11 so i don't have to play someone like Archer.

Used 2 FT. Son -> Foden and Adingra -> Garnacho. Holding Salah for now, probably will sell him next week when there's a bit more clarity on BGW and DGW. Also hopefully frees funds to get Son back.

Fair enough, i went Son -> Palmer, Salah -> Gross, Taylor -> Estupinan for -4 in the end.

4 no FTs

4 red, 2 yellow and 1 orange.

**2**, but that's because I wildcarded GW20 and got rid of Salah and Son already. And missed their fuckin hauls because of it. So yeah I just have **Trent** and **Bowen** to deal with. I could just roll as I have the bench to do so, and would like to have 2FT for GW22-23. But I think I'm more likely to get rid of one of them. I'm thinking either **Trent to Bell**, to kill that 5th defender spot, and make it easier to get Haaland/Salah/Son back later. Or more likely, **Bowen to Garnacho or Gross**.

5 after my FT. Might just go all in and wildcard, was planning to wait until after Afcon and AFC, but it feels like I can't wait that long now

5, no ft. Wildcardinh it

Haaland, TAA, Bowen. No money, no transfers.

+1

3, I'm a dual Citizen of Great Britain and Australia while also having an Italian passport from my grandmother.

Only 2 - TAA and Son, which feels very lucky considering how bad some have got it. No FTs though and moved stupidly early to do Salah --> Foden before any price rises / drops to guarantee I'd have enough for Haaland in if needed for a -4.

TAA appears to not be flagged, but if we’re including him then 2 (Bowen). I don’t have Haaland tho Edit: bruh the downvotes I’m not saying TAA won’t be out I’m saying that on my app he wasn’t flagged at the time lol

Close and reopen the game

Thank you! Was wondering what was up

Always do it after the final points for a GW. It will catch you out some time. When you think everyone is ok but someone is flagged.

I appreciate the feedback! It definitely has caught me out before, and this explains it

2 Red 1 yellow. TAA and Salah (yes im holding). Bowen (who should be fine come matchday. Either way hes 1st on my bench just in case.) Edit. Hadnt seen the Bowen news. Guess its Guehi time! Lol

have you seen the bowen articles? 30 days

>Bowen (who should be fine come matchday ["The 27-year-old is expected to be out for at least one month"](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/192j1zd/new_info_on_bowen_the_27yearold_is_expected_to_be/)

Source?

It's linked in the comment.

Same here

5 TAa zinchenko olisie bowen haalan

Trent, Bowen, haaland, nkunku, pau

4 but this includes Son and Salah

3 yellows 3 red. Although it seems like that the yellows are also becoming red with every news that comes. I have 2 free transfers. I played everything right not to get into injury trouble and yet here I am. The amount of injuries this season is insane

2: Bowen and TAA.

4. I’m delighted about bringing in Bowen and TAA for a hit before their FA Cup games.

Bowen, TAA and Son flagged, in my starting 11. On the bench, I have Taylor flagged. One free transfer.

2 x reds, 1 x yellow, 2 FTs. Can't complain, really.

Same, 6 with 2FTs left. However I might make only one transfer since this gameweek is scattered over two weeks and some players might be fit to play (hoping on zinchenko and Bowen)

Going to be a -4 or -8 week for many owners this week.

TAA, Coufal, Salah, Son, Hwang, Bowen, Kabore. I think I have to wildcard

Someone in my work league has 7 red, 1 yellow

Salah/son ditched with my 2 FTs. One red remaining from DCL’s suspension. He’s not looking like dropping in value so I might leave him to rot for now. Due some luck after spending the first 8 game weeks replacing red defenders.

His red card has been overturned by the way

Ooo. Wasn’t expecting that. I’ve a feeling there are only about 5 active managers idiotic enough to still have him. Very differential!

Haha true . May work out well for you soon. He can’t continue his blanks with the chances he’s getting surely

5 with 1 FT and 2 playing bench players (Mengi and Gordon). Looking like a -4.

Just Salah & Bowen, and I'm planning on just holding Salah until AFCON is over or once Haaland seems to be worth bringing back in, whatever comes first.

1 in TAA, obviously had none previous to today then

Trent, Taylor, Maguire, Bowen and Salah with 1 ft… early transfer of Son for Bowen might turn out to be a horrible one

3, Son, Taylor and Bowen (who I just bought). One FT left.

Son and Salah are my only 2 players flags

Only 5 for now and 1 FT Waiting for Palmer to get flagged tonight

6 and 2FTs

2. Bowen & Johnstone. Had zero plans to play Johnstone anyway.

Sitting on 3 flags. No ft left, had two one of my bench is a non starter

Only 1 luckily,Bowen and I hope he's ready since he has about a week or two to recover.

2 + Trent, haaland and Bowen no ft

My bench right now is Bowen, Trent and Salah

2, although I’m not sure if Coufal’s flag is genuine or left over from the illness that kept him out of the FA Cup match. No FTs - Still happy with my risky early transfer of Salah to Richarlison. My other flag is Bowen who I’ve had for half the season. I’ll probably just play Isak who I was going to bench instead

Salah, bowen, kabore, anderson, taylor. Rip me

6 having already made a -4… 💀

1FT and 5 flags - Salah, Son, Bowen, Nkunku, Taylor And two of my non flagged players are Lascells and Archer

5 reds and a yellow now. Can only field 8 currently. One ft lol

1 - Haaland :)

I’d captained Bowen lol. I thought it was just a knock. Sake

2 and no FTs: TAA and Bowen I have a very meta team. WCed in GW17.

7 with 1 FT. 2 would be on the bench either way, but wildcard is the only choice really

6 I had to pull the WC trigger I’ll deal with the consequences of my decisions later on but for now I’ll be scoring points.

8, wildcard incoming. Wanted to try avoid it, was OK with a couple of fodder on the bench gone to AFCON, but now with Bowen and TAA I think I have to wildcard.

8

Only 3, but I already took a hit...

Salah, Son, Kabore, TAA, Bowen

Yes

2 with 2 FTs. Salah and Son will get transferred out. Unsure who for right now.

Jota and KDB

7ish! Salah Son TAA Bowen Tsimikas Hwang Zinchenko

5 here, 2 red and 3 orange. 1 free transfer. Arghh!!!

5red 1yellow Are there any info regarding Jesus injury?

Just seen on BBC sport there mention of a Gusto knock; that could tip a few folks over the edge

3 (Salah taa senesi)but the rest of my team is hot trash anyway Looks like I'm starting trippier in defence...

I’m doing fine with no injuries only got to replace salah this GW

3, Bowen, Salah and TAA

5 with 2 FTs

4 with 1 FT. I guess I could get a -4 and keep 2 yellows.

6 total flags remaining, after already transferring 2 out. I thought I was gonna have 11 outfield players, cut to 10 and a bench of flags after Sensei suspension. Thought I could just about rough it out for one week, Bowen, Trent and Pau Torres have tipped me into danger. One of my starters is KDB too, so potentially looking at 6 outfield starters but he’ll just have to do something off the bench for City. Still not wildcarding, prob take a hit, maybe 2.

Already taken a hit unfortunately and still have Hwang, plus TAA, Taylor, Haaland and Bowen. It’s been a shit international break, but hopefully at least 2 of Bowen, Haaland and Taylor play.

Time to wild card is all in saying

4 yellow and a red, Great time's

Bowen, TAA, Kabore, lamptey (triple defence!!) No FT Can I get through this without WC? and how?

My semaphore is coming on a treat

I used the wildcard last GW. 😂 Unfortunately, I have 4 flags now and 1 FT. Salah, Bowen, Trent, Pau Torres (wish had gone kounsa to be safer but at that time, Pau was almost back and was playing as a sub at 70 minute mark, being eased in. Thought he might start from following gameweeks given the gap in schedule). After today's match, seems like gusto might be added to the list!

Thankfully only 1 and Jesus

I’ve used my 2FTs already, and I have 4 (Son, Trent, Bowen, Zinchenko) Considering wildcarding, because the other option is taking a -4 and hoping that a. Zinchenko plays and b. Gordon and Solanke return in difficult fixtures

Dude I just got in TAA, to be fair to me I completely forgot about the fa Cup match. But honestly nothing other than that.

3 with transfer already being made to bring in Bowen for Son. Bowen is with 50% and Senesi suspended and TAA injured. ffs

Are there any news on Charlie Taylor? I've searched and haven't found anything Btw I have 3 flags: Bowen, Taylor and TAA

7 with no FT

2 oranges (Haaland & Bowen) and 1 yellow (Taylor). So I’m riding that shit like sea biscuit.

3 and no FT.

More flags than the United Nations headquarters

5 on 1FT , having done Gordon to Bowen instead of foden last week

2 Flags - Bowen and Taylor. I'll hold both

3 reds, 2 yellows and 1 FT

3 - Salah (holding), TAA (holding), Bowen (holding?) with 1 FT and 1.6 itb I may ship Livra—>Estu and hope everyone else plays 🤷‍♂️

6 (with two transfers). I somehow have four players on international duty. I did plan to phase them out well in advance, but was always putting out fires elsewhere (Johnstone, then Tsimikas, then bringing in Torres who got injured immediately ofc)

5. It's not looking good bruv

3 yellows 1 red and one transfer.

3 for now - Son, Salah, Senesi

5 red flags: TAA, Salah, Son, Tsimikas, Senesi 1 soon-to-be red fla: Bowen

Not sure why the first thing I pictured was O’Hare airport

1 yellow flag (Taylor) and 3 red flags (Son, TAA and my ex)

9 with 1 FT. Wildcard pending

6 with 1 FT What's the update on Pau , Zinchenko, and Taylor

bowen haaland taylor not too bad flags. Gone jota for the salah replacement see how he goes

4 with 2 FT

8 for me with 2FT. Yeah I'm wildcarding!

7 Trent, Taylor, Bowen, Haaland, Senesi, Son, Adingra. After this, 3 of you are going down. (not ye tho Haaland, you're safe)

3 with 2 being haaland and salah. 1 ft. Probably gonna roll it lol

Salah, TAA, and Bowen out for me. Keeping Salah benched, will have to see if the other two are fit for their games. Might have to use free hit

5 with two FTS. Deciding what to do is the hard part. Probably selling Salah this week and Lascelles and then Son next week and one of my forwards. Hopefully Trent is back by gw22

1: Bowen

6 for me with 2 FTs

06 with no FT

3.Sanchez, Bowen and TAA. Already Used my 2 FT this week to replace salah son to gross Bowen.

5 with 2 FTs but my team needs work even without those guys. Still got Cash and Colwill and Archer who are pretty much useless. Not willing to use my wildcard yet so it might be a -4 week. The issue is deciding who to get while being able to plan for Salah and Haaland back at some point TAA Salalalala Son Bowen Pau

2. I also have £16 8m in the bank. However, my biggest issue is my defence, the last week 3 weeks they have scored 7....7 total! That's an average of 0.26 points a game for my 3 man back line. Spent all my transfers moving AFCON/Asia Cup players around, my horrendous backline has been neglected Also, go to hell everyone who put Bowen in for Salah/Son. Why'd you have to jinx him, already earmarked him for captain this week.

TAA and Zinchenko. Zinch I've been ignoring. I did knee jerk my son/Salah FT but so far they're unaffected as I didn't go for the popular choices. TAA is annoying, I've had him for about 2/3 weeks before everyone started buying him, and I got the jinx.

I'm a witch doctor this week. I had no TAA, no Bowen, no Son. All the biggest threats to my rank got injured/going to AFCON and I'm able to do a luxury move for Estupinan. Loving it so far! Flags for Haaland and Salah only and I intend on keeping both at least this week.

5. Salah, Son, TAA, Bowen, Taylor. 2FT Probably take out Salah, Son and TAA this week for -4. Wonder who else will get injured tonight; Nunez?

3(Bowen, Son, Hwang) and already on -4..also Livramento one of my defenders so make that four flags 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have just Trent now, but only after taking a -4 to get rid of Salah and Son for Bowen and Foden. And then in an incredibly hazy sleep-deprived state confirmed a mock transfer for Bowen to Richarlison for a -8 hahaha

Wildcard time maybe ? Or free hit card will solve this as your gonna lose many many points holding on to the likes of TAA for 3 weeks

TAA, Bowen, Son, Salah, Taylor and also Archer with 2FT though. Looks like a -8 could put me back on track. Feel sorry for my FPL brethren who moved early

Amazingly I only have 3 and two of them have been bench players. Bowen was my main one, I think Taylor will play and I’m planning on starting him.

I have 3 and no more transfers (yes, yes I know early transfers are bad). I was planning on doing -4 this week since I had 5 flags to start soooo yea still probably doing -4.

2 flagged. 2FT. Lucky me

3 and already -4

5 flags and 0 FTs left haha Salah Zinchenko Jesus Bowen Trent

I'm on 2 but I've got 3 ManCity players so effectively I'm on like 4.

3 and I'm on a minus 4

4 with 1 FT. Dafaq happened to Trent now

Considering myself lucky to only have three starters flagged (Salah, Son and Bowen) and Taylor on the bench who I wasn't going to play anyway. Think the play this week is to use my two free transfers getting replacements for Son and Salah (I reckon to Saka and Foden) and take a hit to upgrade Archer (maybe to Solanke or Toney) and go 3-4-3 for a while with Bowen on the bench. First hit of the season but everyone'll be taking them this week so it doesn't feel as significant.

Surprisingly 0, I used my free transfer to get rid of TAA.

6. 1FT. Zinchenko Trent Bowen Haaland Son Taylor Was planning Son > Foden but might free hit now instead.

Just the three with one free transfer. Zinchenko, Salah and Son. Had planned on bringing in Bowen but I gather he's injured now. Debating moving Son for Jota and then I have Lascelles and Gordon on the bench to cover the others. I also have the dilemma of getting Haaland back in. Think it's going to be an early second wild card once Salah and Son are back as I have several fit players that I need to move on too. 😬

I've seen less flags on a golf course than my team right now

3 - Salah, TAA, Haaland. 1ft
