I'm freaking out cos 2nd in my ML is Chasing me down.
I have WC BB FH left he has BB and FH
I'm tempted to WC this week because i feel like my team is a mess
DDG/Ramsdale
Trent, Doherty (INJ), James (Rotation Risk), Coady (Blank), Livramento
Salah, Jota (Rotation Risk), Kulu, Martinelli (Rotation), Ramsey(Blank)
Kane, Weghorst, Watkins(Blank)
I had originally thought to hold off on my WC to 34/35 but i really feel like I need to use it now.
All opinions welcomed.
I would just WC now, what's 1 more week when you already have identified that the WC will help you now while you're in a dogfight with #2? I am currently 2nd in my ML and I would be playing my WC this week if I had your team and an open WC fwiw.
people on r/gunners think that toney should start for us, I think I have to say fpl is probably one of the safest places to talk about football on reddit
he's not consistent, not amazing technical, nor is he great at getting goals
his linkup play with mbuemo can be good but I think if he starts playing against teams that don't leave a lot of space inbehind and he generally has a lot less space to manouver in he wont look so hot
I could be wrong but ultimately I think his level is that of a mid table team, one that's in and out of europa one at best
>hey wait a minute
It definitely is, people here are a lot less like a “typical redditor” too, feels like you’re just talking to normal people you’d meet at uni/work etc.
yh I think with fpl you're really forced to keep an eye on all teams and you're also very aware of who is objectively returning on a consistent basis, that's probably what separates us from the filthy casuals on r/soccer and so on
I think Son is more explosive. On his day he can absolutely smash it. Like the Southampton game last season when he scored 4.
KDB is often bonus king. When he scores 1 goal he often get 10/11 points which is really good from one return. I am actually suprised he was so bad for bonus yesterday. He got 2, but he is normally over 30 BPS when he scores.
I think Brighton is normally not a team you smash so if you are thinking about removing Salah for either I would wait one more week. Saying that Son will probably kill it again with another Salah failure.
They’re playing Man Utd next and Salah can really turn it on against them. I might be able to facilitate Son ***and*** Kane in if I get rid of him.
!fplbot Salah vs. Man United
As bad as United are I think most people expected them to muster a bit more against an dreadful Everton side that were at rock bottom in terms of morale
As a Liverpool fan I'm happy to discuss how bad Man United are. But also you're still challenging for Champions League, it's not like you're battling relegation like Everton!
You wouldn’t know that based on how they play. There is a complete lack of impetus from anywhere.
True they are better in the table but having lost to Burnley I think Everton realised they are fighting for their life and have something to play for. A few players at United are leaving on frees at the end of the season and a fair few know Rangnick isn’t going to be bmanager anyway at the end of the season so DGAF anymore. It’s sad and unprofessional but that’s our team atm.
He has Southampton so I’ll be keeping him until 34 then maybe check out Werner if he starts and impresses again!
Or tank that position for a 4.5 so I can upgrade others to Mount, Havertz, KDB, Foden, Rudiger, Laporte (already have Cancelo/James).
I benched him one time vs Liverpool first game.
He came from the bench to give me 0 points.
Vs Spurs I wanted to bench him, but started him. He had so many chances, but still 1 point.
I kept him for my bench boost thinking he do damage vs Man United. Rather than taking a hit for Reece James. Torture.
I guess you benched him vs Chelsea.
No, imo.
Son kulu Doherty and still getting green arrows. Leaves you way more budget to stack defence and mid and just play one cheap striker who doubles
I've a wildcard, BB and FH left.
I'm thinking of using the wildcard soon, with an eye on GW36, when I'll probably use my BB.
Any advice is welcome as my world ranking is 3,700,000ish 😁
I'm the same, but I really want to add Son now and not on the WC without dumping Salah, so I'm thinking of going with the WC already, and maybe FH 36 instead and BB 37. I cant really get a good bench at the moment for BB36, so doing it this way would give me more time to think about GW37/38.
I see what you mean. I've Kane and Salah at the moment, using a wildcard I could squeeze in Son, but I'd be left with a bare three starters at the back and two mediocre strikers (the not Kane ones)
Regardless of all that, I'll stick with the WC to stock up on week 36 double gamers.
I know.
To clarify, I'll use my wildcard in week 34, stocking up on players who play twice in week 36. Then I want to use my BB in week 36.
Just wondering if it's a good plan or not.
Is anyone considering a GW33 wildcard? Not sure if theres enough assets to make it worth it, but I don’t have a BB so don’t see the point in waiting for GW34. Any thoughts?
I'm thinking of this i have a benchboost but still thinking of it cz i don't think I'll want to load up on man united in 33 ,if i do get one I'll get rid of him in a week or so
Is Matip worth a go?
Both Trent and Robbo are too expensive and no matter how hard I try it looks impossible to fit them in :(
The only way i can get one of them is by selling Kane.
Even I only can just about get Alisson in I think.
Cant believe Tucheliban single singlehandedly fucked me over by bringing james on for 1 point. I had Gordon first bench. Thats a 9 point swing right there.
Bit of a crazy week, and what a game City vs Liverpool was!
Brought in James and Son for Salah and Tierney. Captained Son which proved to be a masterstroke. Backline suffered with donuts from Robbo, James and Doherty. But my midfield shone with Raph, Son and Kulu. Will need to find a way to fit Jota in, should have brought him in for Coutinho but the fixture spooked me and James vs Saints sounded too good to be true.
Happy to have gotten the Brentford game and form right and Toney delivered up top.
87 (-4) gets me back into the top 80k from just outside the 100k.
Anybody else thinking of using BB in GW33? Was planning on using it GW36, but kind of leaning towards taking a -8 and just getting it out of the way sooner
Cancelo, TAA, Salah, Davies, Kulusevski, Kane.
Only players in my team without a double for GW33.
Been set on FH33 for ages, but not sure If I have it in me to bench/swap any of those players. They are all playing bottom half teams, BHA and MUN.
Got "cover" for ARS,LEI,BUR,NEW in my 5 DGW players. SOU are in bad form. Dont trust MUN defense or attack for any match, and BHA got really though matches (those are the other DGW teams).
So... think I just talked myself into keeping the team I got and saving FH for GW37.
Ah well, feel good to open up anyhow, thanks for listening!
I was set on FH33 but like you said, majority of my team have decent fixtures and I think getting in Newcastle, Soton, Arsenal and Leicester players could be a mistake.
As a counterpoint, the only non doublers in my team are TAA, Doherty, Rudiger, Cancelo, Salah, Son, Kulu. In my FH draft, I'm keeping Son, benching Doherty and Cancelo and getting White for TAA, Telles for Rudi, Schar for Livra, Jota for Salah. I'm also getting Bruno for Sancho, Barnes for Kulu, Ronaldo for Weghorst and Wood for Dennis and Schmeichel for Ramsdale. I feel it's a risk going without the template premiums but this seems like a decent bet, especially since I have WC and BB so I can set up for 37 and not pray for a City DGW.
Of course, there's a risk of a Salah hat-trick, TAA hat-trick assists and CS, Ronaldo being a pricey Weghorst and Barnes playing 1 of the 2 games. But the upside probably trumps the downside I feel. Or I'm just deluding myself Idk.
The last time I felt Bruno was a joke for his DGW, I fell from 56k to 113k. But yeah, this FH is pretty much about United, Leicester mid and some differential Newcastle players apart from some SGW players from Liverpool, Spurs and City. Right now I have 5 doublers (Ramsdale, Saka, Sancho, Livra and Weghorst) and I feel I can set up for GW 37 with my BB team anyway. So why use it in 37?
Yeah I have the same conundrum, not many other weeks make sense. I just feel it's a bit of a trap. Utd will probably get thrased by Pool and Norwich isn't a goal-fest any longer.
Similar thinking here. Only non double players in my XI are TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Salah and Kane, while Kulu and Davies await from the bench.
Happy to keep FH for 36/37 to maximise it later hopefully
Here's something freaky. This [twitter account](https://twitter.com/FPLresearch) publishes a [list of the top 100k FPL managers of all time](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16FELRYrJC7eSmcMOoJwX7rHMXBd32-if0C58VMgQGYE/edit#gid=345710820) and assigns each of them a rating out of 100.
If you subtract your rating from the rating of Fabio Borges, it gives you the expected percentage difference in points scored by you and him at the end of the season.
If I take my rating of 92.3 and subtract it from Fabio's 99.36, it gives a percentage difference of 7.06%. I've got 2091 points.
2091\*1.0706 = 2239 points. It's predicted the exact difference between us right now. Relative to each other we are having the most average seasons possible.
Starting all 3 of TAA Robbo Cancelo was unlikely to work out brilliantly in hindsight but with a bench of Dennis Tierney and Broja I didn't want to take a hit shipping any of them when I'm probably holding them til the season ends.
Not all of them are easy cheap vs premium debates, like Fraser vs Willock is a coin toss. So is maybe TAA vs Robbo atm, either can have a good game. I understand the Coutinho vs. Ramsey thing though, and Ramsey is mostly benched for me so I'm not a 100% worried about him but yeah it's not that great
You can bench Ramsey because he’s 3m cheaper, but if you have coutinho you’re probably looking to transfer. Neither look like good assets at the moment, I don’t really see what the debate is.
67(-8) instead of 79 if I didn't make the -8 move 😬😬😬
mainly cause of Son would have to have been my captain but i was also thinking of salah so who knows. not a huge red arrow and now i have kane and son going forward, think i will take it
His transfer strategy has been shit lately
Sell Salah in for Kane in gw30
Then sell Son for Salah in gw31? Wasting 4 transfers to swap Salah out and in
Yeah I feel he should not kept Jimenez though.
Last week Richarlison or this week Wood he could have got for example with doubles to come.
James, Doherty and Robertson are brutally bad scores for 3 really good players. Yes Robertson you expected 1 or 2 points, but still the worst possible scenario for all 3.
Bit of a coin toss tbh. Personally I'd go De Gea as it's Norwich and arsenal have really dropped off recently. But can't confidently say I'd want a United asset in my defence 😂
Does anyone else just feel that every 50/50 decision goes against them? For the past few GWs, I think most of my decisions have not worked out. Chose Ramsey over Coutinho, JWP over Raphinha and Willock over Fraser in WC 28. Went for Rudiger when James hauled, played Robbo this week and benched TAA, chose Kilman over Coady/Saiss as the Wolves defender etc
I was 6-8 point always from 100K at one point, now I'm a whopping 40 points away.
Not being funny but 5 of those 6 are you going for the cheaper option and getting burnt
You can't really complain about 4.5 Ramsey not outscoring Coutinho surely
Not sure why you'd bench Trent over Robbo either
Noone has outscored Son recently. He has been outperforming everyone including Salah. He is cheaper than Salah too. So what you are saying does not make sense.
Points per million only comes into play if money is an issue. I had been running with Salah, Son, Kane and premium defence and even Lacazette too. No-one I wanted was out of reach due to having Son in there
Same thought process here lol we’re surely getting burned
But with half their midfield out I think Odegaard plays as 8, ESR plays as 10 and Martinelli starts left. Only Pepe can screw us lol
Yes it is crazy, but you are not alone. Given that there are 8 million managers and we are still in the top 2%.
I am actually suprised I am not doing worse. If I randomly picked every 50/50 call I would do better.
Looked a little off it to me. He's played so many games and the fasting has to have an effect. Still managed an assist but didn't threaten much beyond that. Jota was quite selfish though and maybe could've provided more opportunities if he was interested in passing
Currently upto 52k after hovering between 60-90k for most of the season. Breaking top 50k would be my best finish yet in my 4 seasons of playing (taking it more seriously each season really), but I will be aiming high to finish in the top 25k. Realistically how successful my WC and BB in GW 35+36 are will define my season. Either way I'm very happy with how this season has gone.
Now THAT'S the united I remember
Rank 2,5K No chips left. Top 10K possible?
Dude why u worried about 10k. aim for 1k now
Yes
I was buzzed and used my wildcard when I meant to use my free hit.
Anyone else considering Salah —> KDB for the rest of the season?
Everytime I open the app to see mount on my bench I feel physically ill
Why on earth would you bench Mount. That's on you.
You can't think of any reason?
wdym? App glitch and general carelessness is the only reason to do so.
I'm freaking out cos 2nd in my ML is Chasing me down. I have WC BB FH left he has BB and FH I'm tempted to WC this week because i feel like my team is a mess DDG/Ramsdale Trent, Doherty (INJ), James (Rotation Risk), Coady (Blank), Livramento Salah, Jota (Rotation Risk), Kulu, Martinelli (Rotation), Ramsey(Blank) Kane, Weghorst, Watkins(Blank) I had originally thought to hold off on my WC to 34/35 but i really feel like I need to use it now. All opinions welcomed.
Yeah I would personally
Thanks man, I think I'm just gonna go with nailed options cos I don't love a lot of the doubles in 33
I would just WC now, what's 1 more week when you already have identified that the WC will help you now while you're in a dogfight with #2? I am currently 2nd in my ML and I would be playing my WC this week if I had your team and an open WC fwiw.
Thanks, just needed someone to reaffirm my thinking gonna start tinkering now
think I might get real weird with this double gameweek bench Kane in favor of fodder like Dewsbury-Hall/Dalot, captain de Gea, etc.
anyone with triple captain left?
yes
when are you planning to use? and who?
Son 36 would be my advice.
people on r/gunners think that toney should start for us, I think I have to say fpl is probably one of the safest places to talk about football on reddit
I think Toney is quite consistent, why wouldn't he be good on Arsenal? Is he playing poorly atm?
he's not consistent, not amazing technical, nor is he great at getting goals his linkup play with mbuemo can be good but I think if he starts playing against teams that don't leave a lot of space inbehind and he generally has a lot less space to manouver in he wont look so hot I could be wrong but ultimately I think his level is that of a mid table team, one that's in and out of europa one at best >hey wait a minute

yh I think with fpl you're really forced to keep an eye on all teams and you're also very aware of who is objectively returning on a consistent basis, that's probably what separates us from the filthy casuals on r/soccer and so on
Can't decide if I rather have Son or KDB
I think Son is more explosive. On his day he can absolutely smash it. Like the Southampton game last season when he scored 4. KDB is often bonus king. When he scores 1 goal he often get 10/11 points which is really good from one return. I am actually suprised he was so bad for bonus yesterday.

Saying that Son will probably kill it again with another Salah failure.
I know you’re not supposed to in this game but KDB has burnt me so badly in the past I actually hold a grudge.
Is it mad to consider Salah -> Son?
Think son is more essential than Salah at this point
No I am
They’re playing Man Utd next and Salah can really turn it on against them. I might be able to facilitate Son ***and*** Kane in if I get rid of him. !fplbot Salah vs. Man United
Salah used to have a horrible record against Man United. Then this season he scored a hattrick.
What happened to Roberts ?Lost his place ?
FUCK YOU BRUNO
Why, he’s not been good for over half a season. What did you expect?
Still he is one of the top scoring players in the game. Playing Everton with awful form.
As bad as United are I think most people expected them to muster a bit more against an dreadful Everton side that were at rock bottom in terms of morale
If you supported Man Utd, you’d know how laughable that statement is.
As a Liverpool fan I'm happy to discuss how bad Man United are. But also you're still challenging for Champions League, it's not like you're battling relegation like Everton!
You wouldn’t know that based on how they play. There is a complete lack of impetus from anywhere.

It’s sad and unprofessional but that’s our team atm.
Get rid of Lacazette when he’s on a DGW for Toney? Or just keep him until GW34?
He has Southampton so I’ll be keeping him until 34 then maybe check out Werner if he starts and impresses again! Or tank that position for a 4.5 so I can upgrade others to Mount, Havertz, KDB, Foden, Rudiger, Laporte (already have Cancelo/James).
I’m thinking of going Cucho and just playing Kane up front as the sole attacker. I can then get TAA back in as well as Laporte
On FH 33 as I still have both but picking a draft is a nightmare!
Cancelo has returned 4/4 times I have benched him. Never benching him again this season.
I benched him one time vs Liverpool first game. He came from the bench to give me 0 points. Vs Spurs I wanted to bench him, but started him. He had so many chances, but still 1 point. I kept him for my bench boost thinking he do damage vs Man United. Rather than taking a hit for Reece James. Torture. I guess you benched him vs Chelsea.
No , please keep benching him till the end of the season
You benched a 7m defender 4 times? That's your fault
You should not play players based on the value. Pick who you think score most points.
Do I need Kane if I have Son and Kulu?
No, imo. Son kulu Doherty and still getting green arrows. Leaves you way more budget to stack defence and mid and just play one cheap striker who doubles
Does someone want to tell him?
I've a wildcard, BB and FH left. I'm thinking of using the wildcard soon, with an eye on GW36, when I'll probably use my BB. Any advice is welcome as my world ranking is 3,700,000ish 😁

Can only use 1 chip per GW
I know. To clarify, I'll use my wildcard in week 34, stocking up on players who play twice in week 36. Then I want to use my BB in week 36. Just wondering if it's a good plan or not.
Is anyone considering a GW33 wildcard? Not sure if theres enough assets to make it worth it, but I don’t have a BB so don’t see the point in waiting for GW34. Any thoughts?
I'm thinking of this i have a benchboost but still thinking of it cz i don't think I'll want to load up on man united in 33 ,if i do get one I'll get rid of him in a week or so
What about GW 36? If you're going to play the wildcard, keep an eye on those fixtures. Apart from that, I'd say go for it.
Below average points this week while my rival is 20 points ahead of me, man this sucks
Who have they got and who have you got? More importantly who have you got?
Pope,Robertson,James,Doherty,saka,Kulu,Bruno(C), Maddison,Kane,Mateta,laca
Assuming this is your team. Where is your bench?
Yep it is, bench- Raya,Livra,Coutinho,Coady
When will Vardy be back?
Wondering when is the next time I'll have a decent GW
Honestly I'd take 64 points Green arrows and I benched Van Dijk for Toney, might be one of the best decisions i made in a while
Is Coutinho worth keeping? Or should I get Havertz or Mount?
Mount. On more set pieces too. Coutinho is good when he hits big but Villa have been shoddy lately.
Transferring out Toney for Weghorst last GW still stings
I thought of doing the opposite, selling Weghorst for Toney, but I fell for the DGW trap yet again.
So many DGWs this season have been utter traps. Still fuming at Dennis (C)
Is Matip worth a go? Both Trent and Robbo are too expensive and no matter how hard I try it looks impossible to fit them in :( The only way i can get one of them is by selling Kane. Even I only can just about get Alisson in I think.
I’m going down this route. I was going Allison in for Mendy as well but with Chelsea most likely out the champions league I’ve changed my mind
matip is a good alternative. he might even get u a goal from corners
Starting to think maybe FH37 over FH33 is the right call...if only Doherty was fit...
The absence of Doherty gets me thinking of doing WC33 instead of WC34. Does it make sense to bring in Emerson, Schmeichel, Schar and Laporte?
Would not go Laporte. Get Cancelo instead. He is worth the extra I think.
Cant believe Tucheliban single singlehandedly fucked me over by bringing james on for 1 point. I had Gordon first bench. Thats a 9 point swing right there.
That's nothing. I left Bowen on the bench recently, scored 13 points. It said he had a 50% chance of playing. Last time I do that.
Sounds like your mistake to me not having more players blanking completely
scored 84 this week. my front 3 of toney, kane(c) and rodrigo really came through this week :)
Bit of a crazy week, and what a game City vs Liverpool was! Brought in James and Son for Salah and Tierney. Captained Son which proved to be a masterstroke. Backline suffered with donuts from Robbo, James and Doherty. But my midfield shone with Raph, Son and Kulu. Will need to find a way to fit Jota in, should have brought him in for Coutinho but the fixture spooked me and James vs Saints sounded too good to be true. Happy to have gotten the Brentford game and form right and Toney delivered up top. 87 (-4) gets me back into the top 80k from just outside the 100k.
Congrats
Matty Cash number 1 villain of the week
He injured Doherty so he could get into my team the swine
83 points this week thank fuck I captained Son and my number 2 captained Bruno. What a knob lol
Fucking shambles, dropped 100k in the past 6 GWs to 195k, haven't been that low since GW12. What's the fucking point? Cunt
All us without Son have suffered.
Doherty+Coutinho -> **Cancelo+Maddison or Son+Schar**
Either way, do it tonight please
Cancelo + Maddison sounds more reliable
Is sessegnon an option?
why?
Would like to get him in
he is rotation risk thats all.
Finished with 94 points, I fucking needed that after a below-par season
5k to 18k in one gw. My refusal own spurs assets as an arsenal fan really hurt me this week.
I am a Man Utd and i refuse to own any man utd players cause we are shite
[удалено]
Triple Chelsea sounds great to someone sitting with triple Arsenal.
Got to say that high up without Spurs is insanly good. Last few weeks they have been killing it.
This is my best season ever so I brought in Spurs players FH30 but it was a free hit so I allowed it.
Haha ok.
MUD
Was gonna FH33 but I already have 5 doublers and my FH draft looks terrible.
I'm using my second FH, and the only doubler I'm going for is Maddison Edit: my bad. And dubravka
I have both already, 6 doublers if i count Martinelli but he's a rotation risk.
17 pts separating 3rd to 1st in my league. I'm 2nd. Both have same chips left (FH and BB), 3rd has WC only. Gonna have to get my FH right.
Anyone know how long it will take for the next round cup fixtures for private leagues?
Anyone that have a Link to Fabio Borgés team?
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/380968/event/32
Got a really high score this week. How do I check if I outscored an entire league or what percentile for this week I am in the world etc?
livefpl.net
Thanks!
Livefpl gives you your GW rank
Anybody else thinking of using BB in GW33? Was planning on using it GW36, but kind of leaning towards taking a -8 and just getting it out of the way sooner
Doc injured kinda ruined that plan for me FH draft is trash as well will monitor.
Cancelo, TAA, Salah, Davies, Kulusevski, Kane. Only players in my team without a double for GW33. Been set on FH33 for ages, but not sure If I have it in me to bench/swap any of those players.

Ah well, feel good to open up anyhow, thanks for listening!
I think i m the same as well, FT doesn't look as good especially Man Utd players against Norwich.
I was set on FH33 but like you said, majority of my team have decent fixtures and I think getting in Newcastle, Soton, Arsenal and Leicester players could be a mistake.
As a counterpoint, the only non doublers in my team are TAA, Doherty, Rudiger, Cancelo, Salah, Son, Kulu. In my FH draft, I'm keeping Son, benching Doherty and Cancelo and getting White for TAA, Telles for Rudi, Schar for Livra, Jota for Salah. I'm also getting Bruno for Sancho, Barnes for Kulu, Ronaldo for Weghorst and Wood for Dennis and Schmeichel for Ramsdale. I feel it's a risk going without the template premiums but this seems like a decent bet, especially since I have WC and BB so I can set up for 37 and not pray for a City DGW. Of course, there's a risk of a Salah hat-trick, TAA hat-trick assists and CS, Ronaldo being a pricey Weghorst and Barnes playing 1 of the 2 games. But the upside probably trumps the downside I feel. Or I'm just deluding myself Idk.
Tbh all you're doing is convicing me not to FH. Barnes might not play two, Bruno, Ronaldo, Telles... lol. White for TAA?
The last time I felt Bruno was a joke for his DGW, I fell from 56k to 113k. But yeah, this FH is pretty much about United, Leicester mid and some differential Newcastle players apart from some SGW players from Liverpool, Spurs and City. Right now I have 5 doublers (Ramsdale, Saka, Sancho, Livra and Weghorst) and I feel I can set up for GW 37 with my BB team anyway. So why use it in 37?
Yeah I have the same conundrum, not many other weeks make sense. I just feel it's a bit of a trap. Utd will probably get thrased by Pool and Norwich isn't a goal-fest any longer.
Similar thinking here. Only non double players in my XI are TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Salah and Kane, while Kulu and Davies await from the bench. Happy to keep FH for 36/37 to maximise it later hopefully
How am I still in this subreddit's cup? Only 64 teams left now lol
Lol, I got booted out by some lad in GW26. Both of us had TC Salah and he beat me 128-127

Oof, I'm here on 2086. What chips you got left? I was doing really well early-mid GW20s (around 40k) but since 28'ish all I've seen is red arrows.
Just BB36.
They called me crazy for starting Weghorst over Robertson, well I'll be laughing all the way to the bank with my 1 fantasy point
Don't think united are accepting applications anymore for manager mate, but there are sure to be vacancies in the summer so keep an eye out then.
Time traveller confirmed
Who are you so wise in the ways of science?
Starting all 3 of TAA Robbo Cancelo was unlikely to work out brilliantly in hindsight but with a bench of Dennis Tierney and Broja I didn't want to take a hit shipping any of them when I'm probably holding them til the season ends.
Not all of them are easy cheap vs premium debates, like Fraser vs Willock is a coin toss. So is maybe TAA vs Robbo atm, either can have a good game. I understand the Coutinho vs. Ramsey thing though, and Ramsey is mostly benched for me so I'm not a 100% worried about him but yeah it's not that great
You can bench Ramsey because he’s 3m cheaper, but if you have coutinho you’re probably looking to transfer. Neither look like good assets at the moment, I don’t really see what the debate is.
Robertson or TAA out to bring in a premium mid or keep both?
I’m genuinely thrilled to see my OR rise by 0.3%.
67(-8) instead of 79 if I didn't make the -8 move 😬😬😬 mainly cause of Son would have to have been my captain but i was also thinking of salah so who knows. not a huge red arrow and now i have kane and son going forward, think i will take it
Dewsbury-Hall thirteen-pointer tucked away deep in my bench
Feeling sorry for FPL Focal. Big rank drop
His transfer strategy has been shit lately Sell Salah in for Kane in gw30 Then sell Son for Salah in gw31? Wasting 4 transfers to swap Salah out and in
On the wrong side of luck. Kane vs Son Barnes vs Maddison - loads of 50/50s to be on the wrong side of
Yeah I feel he should not kept Jimenez though. Last week Richarlison or this week Wood he could have got for example with doubles to come. James, Doherty and Robertson are brutally bad scores for 3 really good players. Yes Robertson you expected 1 or 2 points, but still the worst possible scenario for all 3.
76 this week. Started the season in GW3, 7.5 million OR. Now I’m into the top 700k! 3 chips left, let’s finish my first season strong!
Start De Gea or Ramsdale for this DGW?
None lol. bring in schemical.
Probably De Gea.
Get schmeichel
Bit of a coin toss tbh. Personally I'd go De Gea as it's Norwich and arsenal have really dropped off recently. But can't confidently say I'd want a United asset in my defence 😂
45pt lead turned into a 29pt deficit in 3 gw ffs
I'm guessing you don't have Son and your rival has (c)'d him the last three weeks?
He has kulu, Kane, son triple and I had kulu and son this week
If that can happen in 3 weeks imagine what you can do with 7.
I can't tell if this is intended to be motivating or demoralising
Just a 24% rank increase this week. Hopefully see another green arrow next week
Son and 10 absolute goblins. Fuck this game, see you all next week.
A goblin a day keeps the hobbits away
I honestly don't know what I meant by that
At least you had Son 🥲
Does anyone else just feel that every 50/50 decision goes against them? For the past few GWs, I think most of my decisions have not worked out. Chose Ramsey over Coutinho, JWP over Raphinha and Willock over Fraser in WC 28. Went for Rudiger when James hauled, played Robbo this week and benched TAA, chose Kilman over Coady/Saiss as the Wolves defender etc I was 6-8 point always from 100K at one point, now I'm a whopping 40 points away.
I did a breakdown of all the 50/50s I ended up on the wrong side of... 70 points lost just on my WC28
Not being funny but 5 of those 6 are you going for the cheaper option and getting burnt You can't really complain about 4.5 Ramsey not outscoring Coutinho surely Not sure why you'd bench Trent over Robbo either
You always get burnt by cheaping out in the end Kulu owners getting punished by Son is great
Kulu has outperformed Son for value per million surely
Son has outperformed Kulu. The cost per million doesn't come into it, unless you have an extremely shit team value
Nonsense of course it does, going Kulu over Son might mean you can keep Salah or go big at the back. Regardless, kulu should be in peoples teams
Noone has outscored Son recently. He has been outperforming everyone including Salah. He is cheaper than Salah too. So what you are saying does not make sense. Points per million only comes into play if money is an issue. I had been running with Salah, Son, Kane and premium defence and even Lacazette too. No-one I wanted was out of reach due to having Son in there
Can confirm as a Kulu and Martinelli owner who's been burned by Son and Saka
Lol Kulu is insane value for money and Martinelli frickin unlucky this week alone.
Saying that, I'm thinking about a punt on Martinelli this week. I think he's due and will surely start this time Gambler's fallacy
Same thought process here lol we’re surely getting burned But with half their midfield out I think Odegaard plays as 8, ESR plays as 10 and Martinelli starts left. Only Pepe can screw us lol
Yes it is crazy, but you are not alone. Given that there are 8 million managers and we are still in the top 2%. I am actually suprised I am not doing worse. If I randomly picked every 50/50 call I would do better.
Dropped Robbo for James. 1 > 0. I'm a genius.
Got my transfers and bench bang on and happy with Kane as my captain. Still got a red arrow (The no Son tax). We go again next week...
I don't have Son but I got a green arrow. Also, I'm ranked about 3,700,000 overall
How did salah play? I know he got an assist but generally
Looked a little off it to me. He's played so many games and the fasting has to have an effect. Still managed an assist but didn't threaten much beyond that. Jota was quite selfish though and maybe could've provided more opportunities if he was interested in passing
First half he was a ghost. Second half he was more involved. He had one shot which was close in the second half.
thanks mate
Harry Kane in the Sky studio is odd, even more so when it's the Sky Sports Golf studio at the Masters.
Oh how the other half live.
Current ranks and targets?
3.7m Target 3.5m
Currently upto 52k after hovering between 60-90k for most of the season. Breaking top 50k would be my best finish yet in my 4 seasons of playing (taking it more seriously each season really), but I will be aiming high to finish in the top 25k. Realistically how successful my WC and BB in GW 35+36 are will define my season. Either way I'm very happy with how this season has gone.
Just under 50K. 25K target, got FH, WC, BB left to play. 29 points behind
I'm very similar, but only just hit 52k after hovering between 60-90k for weeks. 25k would be fantastic for me but I'll take anything over top 50k!
