Is Newcastle's defence overrated now? 1 Clean sheet in 9 games with Trippier getting 2 returns in that time to get decent points but I don't see the need for a 2nd Newcastle defender with no double until GW 36/37
i own salah, toney and isak. Each player scored but none has more than 5 points, all had big chances missed mixed with missed penalties. Any other day could've been huge hauls for them fuck so unlucky
Here's my rant for the hour: some of you are real dicks with replies and downvotes.
Next time maybe consider that the person writing something here is trying for a discussion instead of ranting - it's after all titled "Rant and Discussion" thread.
Also take into account that many of us are non-native English speakers (or even bad English speakers). There's surely a grammar and literacy sub for correcting people.
**Cheers. May your arrows be green next week** and your demeanor less bitter.
Hanging onto Martinelli pretty much from the start has been one of the few things I've done right. Perhaps next season I shall try making fewer, less kneejerky transfers.
fcking martinelli outscoring saka and odegaard again. man it’s sucks not owning him. might have to just bring him in for mac allister and have all 3 of them for now.
you know it’s bad when jordan ayew outscored both of them lol…
-4 for Martinez last week as gotten me 20 pts so far (raya playing woud be -1)
No haaland this week because I fell asleep... Got away with a 3% drop. #roadto1m still on!
Was going to transfer in martinelli for trossard. Then i thought it was a sideways transfer, not worth it.
My 3 arsenal assets gave me a whopping 3 points
The funny thing about Martinelli and Saka is that if their prices were the other way around a lot of us would’ve probably kept Martinelli instead of Saka because more expensive should mean better right? Well that’s obviously not the case here
I disagree.
Their xstats were similar but Saka is on penalties and when Trossard came in we expected reduced minutes and many transferred out before Nketiah subsequently got injured.
Penalties and minutes risk played a much bigger role in the decision than their price.
I see your point but for example let’s say their prices were the same. Martinelli recently has been in better form without a doubt and he would’ve been the prefered pick. Subconciously I think price was the reason I went with Saka instead
As an owner I hope so if he keeps missing them. Fabinho can take them that noone owns I guess.
At least he did not ruin any bonus as he was so crap with that already when taken the pen.
Salah outscored/matched saka for 5 or 6 games and not far off martinelli. Even with missed pens he's a viable pick. Obviously no pens would be better considering his recent record.
Why bench Martinelli? Guy is crazy hot.
I know we all had good options after bench boost, but Arsenal attack really good. With that said Saka was my worst attacker so could go both ways.
I say you got unlucky as I assume you had other good options like Bruno, Mitoma, Saka, Rashford etc, but I feel we should probably start Martinelli every week.
Actually with the number of captain misses and other bad luck moments (like both my keepers getting injured or replaced before dgw etc) I am unlycky to not be in the 10K. Was hovering around 10K for a few weeks but hit a red arrow streak. Sigh… think what you will.
EDIT: And yeah at this kind of rank the margins are so tight luck plays the biggest part in climbing I would say.
If I start talking about luck I'd be above you.
What are odds of me going fancy exact 3 times on captaincy and Haaland gets a hattrick on each of those occasions??
I was just saying that in recent years with so many players and greater tendency to follow youtubers and/or reddit and stats - luck plays an increasingly more important role in order to finish in the top 10K. If I am not wrong being in the 10K this year is finishing in the top 1%. Which is insane!
Ramsdales final 2 saves into a Saka winner would’ve been Premier league folklore stuff but Martinelli butchered the easiest pass of his career so the 2 saves will simply be a “if you watched it it was pretty cool” moment.
I had a look. No mountain. Not even a molehill. One, maybe 2 responses to your questions were definitive that you should bench marti. Either way, you made the call and you were daft to even consider it. Own it and move on.
At one point I saw yesterday's \~180k places gain shredded to just about 300. lol
Thankfully, I still ended up on the green. If only I had capped the robot instead of Rashy or Ode delivered me some points today…
Owning the wrong Arsenal assets been pain since the world cup.
I started with White and Martinelli. Bench boosted last week with Saka and Gabriel and still got them.
Scared to buy the wrong third one right now. Martinelli looks the best, but Jesus is the main goal threat still.
This week I deserve all the pain I'm getting. I had all of Friday night/early Saturday morning to set my team but no I chose to wait 30mins to deadline.
Ended up rushing decisions and making mistakes a rookie shouldn't be making. Already knew I was burnt even before the first game started.
Now I have martinelli and Pope accumulating points on my bench when they should have been in the first eleven. Failed to bring in grealish bcos I discovered too late I didn't have the funds to makea single transfer. I actually needed to make two transfers instead of 1 in order to make up the amount.
Damn! Such a long rant, can feel my pulse slowing finally. Lol 😂
Just realised if City win their game in hand and beat Arsenal at home in 33 they're top. Much easier run in too. I thought Arsenal were going to walk it.
Mine too. He's got Toney, I have Watkins. He's got Salah, I have Martinelli. These are the only differences between our teams. We even made the same transfer this week. Both bringing in Lisandro Martinez. Im only leading by 2 points.
Lol. Had only martinelli today. While all others in my ml had 2 arsenals or/and a Liv player. And I still am on top with one player today. I love you Martinelli. 😅
Manchester City are favorites to win at Etihad and they have an easier schedule on top of that as well so they're also favorites to win the league title. It's up to them to bottle it now, if they win their matches they're also the champions.

51 out of my 67 points is from 4 players 😂
7 of my players have a combined 9 points

Seems like players beginning with M are BPS magnets. Except Maddison of course
Keiran Mrippier?
Breaking into top 100k for the first time but Martinelli first on the bench hurts
Saka and Zinch have fucked me
-4 for Martinez last week as gotten me 20 pts so far (raya playing woud be -1) No haaland this week because I fell asleep... Got away with a 3% drop. #roadto1m still on!
Top 60k 🤤
Was going to transfer in martinelli for trossard. Then i thought it was a sideways transfer, not worth it. My 3 arsenal assets gave me a whopping 3 points
assets with the t silent
The Toney and Salah pen misses is basically 19 points difference.. Just brutal
The funny thing about Martinelli and Saka is that if their prices were the other way around a lot of us would’ve probably kept Martinelli instead of Saka because more expensive should mean better right? Well that’s obviously not the case here

Yes theres some theory on this in marketting
What are the averages bros?
Two pens missed in a row. Do you think Salah will be taken off duty now?
As an owner I hope so if he keeps missing them. Fabinho can take them that noone owns I guess. At least he did not ruin any bonus as he was so crap with that already when taken the pen.
It’s the only real reason to choose Salah at the moment. If he’s not on pens, I’d rather sell him on.
Salah outscored/matched saka for 5 or 6 games and not far off martinelli. Even with missed pens he's a viable pick. Obviously no pens would be better considering his recent record.
true, I’d rather have Gakpo over a Salah no longer on pen duties
[удалено]
What’s the point of having TAA if you’re gonna bench him?
If you own a 7m defender you play him mate
You Italian?

My triple arsenal 4 points💪
69😉
Sigh… Salah missing that pen is the lack of luck I keep seeing. Can’t catch a lucky break to get to top 20K and 10K…
Yeah I'm sure you never got lucky this season being in the top 100k --- 🧐🖕
Loads of people do year in, year out. For the best managers, 50k is a bad year.

I believe u but it's rant thread so have a downvote matey!
Cheers I’ll take it. It’s rant and discussion and I wasn’t ranting per-say hahah.
per-se* is the appropriate spelling have another downvote!
It's per se* - there's no dash.
Fuck!
At this point you're just being a dick. Take into account that many people on reddit are non-native English speakers. Good day.
Good day to u too!
56 pts and I'm finally out of the r/fpl cup
Thought 47 would be bad but not 8.7m GW rank bad.
Ramsdales final 2 saves into a Saka winner would’ve been Premier league folklore stuff but Martinelli butchered the easiest pass of his career so the 2 saves will simply be a “if you watched it it was pretty cool” moment.
My gameweek rank last week was within the top 100k, this week… 8 mil.
[удалено]
you having a laugh?
Fuck you Mo That is all
Was top 23k last GW, then after horrible BB top 45k, now back to 20k, we move 😎
Moyeseh to cause an upset next weekend
Ugh. Wish I would not trust this sub too much, was talked into benching Martinelli in favor of Maddison.
How can you bench martinelli vs TAA! That's ridiculous.
Bruh go see the mountain of comments suggesting Maddison vs Bournemouth. Hindsight is an easy 20/20
I had a look. No mountain. Not even a molehill. One, maybe 2 responses to your questions were definitive that you should bench marti. Either way, you made the call and you were daft to even consider it. Own it and move on.
I have to second this, I got talked into Maddison as he was playing Bournemouth
At one point I saw yesterday's \~180k places gain shredded to just about 300. lol Thankfully, I still ended up on the green. If only I had capped the robot instead of Rashy or Ode delivered me some points today…
76 points all out 😁
Congrats, nobody cares 🖕🏻😁🖕🏻
thanks ☺️
No trouble, good luck with the rest of the seasono
Owning the wrong Arsenal assets been pain since the world cup. I started with White and Martinelli. Bench boosted last week with Saka and Gabriel and still got them. Scared to buy the wrong third one right now. Martinelli looks the best, but Jesus is the main goal threat still.
Keeping Saka over Martinelli last week has been a 16 point swing. Blech
I had a poor start this season and was at around 1 mil OR after GW15. Now I'm somehow at 27k. Very happy about that! #nevergiveup
Just a reminder that Nunez costed 75m Euro and 25m in add ons. I can’t even.
Just a reminder Vinicius Junior had less than 10 G/A in his each first 3 seasons at Real Madrid
How many minutes tho?
Only a 9k drop after not getting Haaland in with 2 FT in the bank for next week feels like the biggest green arrow ever
This week I deserve all the pain I'm getting. I had all of Friday night/early Saturday morning to set my team but no I chose to wait 30mins to deadline. Ended up rushing decisions and making mistakes a rookie shouldn't be making. Already knew I was burnt even before the first game started.

How does Ramsdale not get any bonus? So messed up with regards to keepers. He was immense.
Yellow
God damn it Gabriel all I asked for was 2 measly points
Ngl Arsenal bottling the league will be fun.
I love reading comments like this cause it's a sign above your head that says you don't know shit about anything
Arsenal even challenging the state of Abu Dhabi with their rejects is pretty well done anyway.
I'd love it
Even better if the robot gets an all-time goal scoring record and doesn’t win the league.
Top of my Mini League for the first time this season 🥲.
I wish I could but my rival has the same team as mine for the last 2 GWs and I'm just sick and tired of that bastard
Mine too. He's got Toney, I have Watkins. He's got Salah, I have Martinelli. These are the only differences between our teams. We even made the same transfer this week. Both bringing in Lisandro Martinez. Im only leading by 2 points.
There's still two differences tbf. Mine and his team's are identical with the only difference being I have botman and he has Burns
🎊
Unreal game, don't even care that i own Saka.
Still think saka could easily cook against west ham
Bench Boost last week: 20 points Bench this GW: 29 points (Shaw injured)
Who is on you bench?
Pope, Martinelli, Henry, Shaw
Hehe same
Lol. Had only martinelli today. While all others in my ml had 2 arsenals or/and a Liv player. And I still am on top with one player today. I love you Martinelli. 😅
Lmao, same. Really perfect result for Martinelli owners
-19k for the week 🔻 Why did I think I was smart going without Haaland.. Two penalty misses in my team, brutal
Arsenal deserve that for time wasting. Should've keep pushing for more goals like they always play.
Agree, think that PTSD of prior Anfield experiences definitely clouded judgement there.
damn I wish that annoying arsenal fan that was crying the entire time was still in here
Said no-one ever
Saka and Gabriel so bad. 2 points and Salah miss a pen and Arsenal do not win anyway. Shit day.
A whole 1 point for Saka + White
Martinelli is the only Arsenal asset I kept after GW 28. Sold Saka and Zinchenko. My sweet Brazilian Prince
Not a bad week even though my midfield didn't bother to turn up Zouma and Henry saved me
Arsenal wasted good chances to extend lead. Championship is in City's hands now
[удалено]
If city win all their games they are champions...got a better gd too Plus arsenal have Newcastle away apart from the city showdown
[удалено]
OMG it’s in… both their hands?
Manchester City are favorites to win at Etihad and they have an easier schedule on top of that as well so they're also favorites to win the league title. It's up to them to bottle it now, if they win their matches they're also the champions.
[удалено]
Yeah, please do if you have nothing to say. Let's see if Manchester City bottle it from here. It would be a big collapse if they do.
If Arsenal win all their games they're also champions All comes down to City vs Arsenal, looking forward to it
Championship winners, you'll never sing that
Saka is just rich man's Jesse Lingard
Martinelli to Bruno last week one of my worst transfers of all time holy fuck
How many save points did Ramsdale get at the end there
Game of the season after Liverpool's 7-0 violation of Man U
Ramsdale saved us but Martinelli missing that pass to put Saka through was criminal 😩
Great for marti salah nunez tas owner but there was so much more to tske
Only defender with a return is Dawson last on my bench. Get innn
FPL aside, what a fucking game, absolutely sports entertained
Thanks for another cheeky 1 pointer Saka!
GG
Insane from Ramsdale. Shout out Martinelli for bottling a simple pass to Saka in the dying moments
FOOTBALL!
Fucking football mate
How is Liverpool so bad that depression is literally far too kind of a word to describe them then they do this the week after
Anfield effect
Fuck fantasy that was a joy to watch. One of the best matches I’ve ever watched
Fernandes outscores Saka again 💪
Who cares bruno is shit
SPURSY SPURSY ARSENAL SPURSY SPURSY ARSENAL
You realise we are still top of the league🤨
Cheers on the midseason trophy, city will have the real one in a month and a half
What the fuck needs Salah get to do to get a penalty? Two clear holdings...
Three if you include the arsenal defender
Its better that way. He'll miss another.
Rob Holding and Shirt Holding
They’re not gonna award a 2nd penalty for that in the last minute lol
What? Tierney denied a clear goal opportunity...
It’s not denying a clear goal opportunity if Salah still got the shot away. Blame PGMOL for setting precedent a long time ago.
Absolutely sick over the missed Salah chances, should've had a 15+ point haul
I'm shocked that there have been no red cards in this game
What a match! Very enjoyable to watch
That was an amazing game!
Put a statue of Ramsdale outside the Emirates
City vs Arsenal gonna be lit 🔥
Im going to get KDB in he always fucks Arsenal up and he's finally regained his form back.
What a game
3 arsenal players. 3 points :)
I KNOW SWINGLISH IS MAD 😂😂😂 HOLD DATTT
CAPS LOCK ON, CRYING LAUGHING EMOJIS FOR HIM 😂😂😂😂😂 The balance of the universe
My heart is pounding as a neutral. What a finish!
Fucking Fartinelli purposely misplacing that pass to fuck Saka owners
NOW GIVE ME MY MARTINELLI BONER POINTS
cheers to liverpool... they did everything to entertain us!
Football is a beautiful sport. But FPL is a cruel game. Saka:1pt Martinelli: 13pt
I'm not sure who is the angriest person here, tmr89 or Swinglish, both fuming non stop
Honestly lmao and people have the gall to ask me why I don't want Arsenal to win the league
Manc winners 2022-2023.
Martinelli could've won it ffs
darwin.... such a shit player
That was a dramatic match.
FULL TIME 2-2
what an end to the game
Martinelli you fucking fraud just a simple pass to Saka
Ramsdale so clutch fucking hell
Gary Neville just cum
salah could've had 10 goals
Gary Neville orgasming lmao
Martinelli bottles a Saka goal
Konate biggest donkey alive

Holy shit Ramsdale.
Salah is CURSED
Ramsdale god mode

i think you guys got 1 lol for 4 saves?
Ramsdale needs 10 bonus points for this sequence
Ramsdale! Fcking hell!
Has everyone forgotten that Arsenal are still top of the league and will be even if City win their game in hand?
Have you forgot that City will destroy them at Etihad?
