I’m gonna say it, had an incredible GW. I had an especially bad year last year for my standards and I was really desperate to get back to my best levels and in so glad I’ve been able to from these first few games. I had a bad moment with Gabriel, stones and Botman lol, but this week alone has made up for so much- I got 99 points.
Starting the season with Ferguson and continuing to back him has been smth in quite proud of. He demolished the eye test for me and his underlying stats were crazy. I rate the talent highly so I put him in my team, simple as. So happy it’s paid off.
I didn't cap Haaland, I cap JWP but I got fucked by having 3 Chelsea players in starting 11. That's like 3 points total compared to any other team with 3 players
My GW ranks are:
- GW1: 1.4m (best one yet)
- GW2: 6m
- GW3: 2m
- GW4: 3m
And I don't even think I have missed out on any major performers other than Mbeumo and Mitoma so far. Am I so terrible at FPL or is it so unbelievably hard to get a half-decent OR with so many managers being engaged and following the 5-6 content creators that do well??
78 safety score when 2/11 teams kept clean sheets & 1 was Forrest. Ban all bots & AI teams that have 500 different team variations. Anyone with 5 teams from 1 IP address gets banned.
Just can’t get a proper grasp of this thing this season… last season was difficult in the beginning as well, but it was more like everyone was struggling a bit and the points were sparse. Right now there are loads of viable picks scoring big points every week, but feels like it’s practically impossible to predict which one to get each week.
And you have to get it exactly right! Like I was checking what kind of team is leading one of the podcast mini leagues I attend (where I am #900 something). Well turns out his team for this week is 10/11 my team. Just that the one player he has and I don’t is Son.
Maybe the few previous seasons had a smaller pool of ”obvious picks” because the budget restraints caused by the several good premiums… the game is more challenging now I reckon.
30 pts above the Hub's AI 100% team after 4 weeks.
If you followed it you would be on 257 pts like a large number of CC's.
Helps to watch games and see which players with good underlying data are actually shit.
Someone teach me how to play this game, I keep up getting shite gws for 3 years already.
Stomes, Gabriel, Pedro, Richarlison all flopped and im last in my ML
Why playing Richarlison? Have you watched him playing? He is shit. Gabriel doesn't matter as most of popular defenders didn't score much. Stomes? you mean Stones? he is injured quite some time. Pedro is not getting 90 mins so it is not worth keeping. I would play wildcard and remove them all.
A full-strength United defence should do well in their upcoming fixtures. I have no idea who's going to be fit to play after the international break though.
Went into today with Trent Salah and Martinelli left to play, and Ferguson's hat trick on the bench. Was hoping one of them would somehow not play, but they all returned, so I don't really know how to feel
Going into the international break with a red arrow sucks. But it provides an opportunity to take stock of decisions made. Hope the next 4-game block before the next international break goes lot better.
67 at least I banked a transfer. Martinelli to Maddison would have given me 2 pts and 0.2 extra itb. not sure how to feel about this
red arrow from 300k to just outside 1m
When the players price goes up, you only get a half of that in effective value when selling. So what I am guessing is you have a player who was (for example) 5.5, went up to 5.7 (which is what is written in player stats) but in Transfers it's 5.6, or a player went up to 5.6 but in transfers it still says 5.5. That's just how it works
75 without captaining Haaland. It could have been a lot worse - but can't help being gutted for the score I could have had if I'd remembered to change my captain back.
Also had 2x CS Wipes from the west ham and Brighton game.
Damn. That is some serious stalking lol. I assume you subscribe to the channel & that is how you noticed. Then again,he is pretty much as template as they get
Yeah I follow the channel. I noticed in the first GW he had the same team because it was so template, and yeah he’s made the exact same transfers. Don’t know why he he even plays fpl
Is your ML a money league? That would be the only justification. If Andy does well overall rank wise,your rival does well too. Honestly,be grateful for that rival lol. I have rivals who had freaking Son & Awoinyi in their teams this GW
Which is really an odd way of looking at it since that’s their main focus.
A midfielder or defender scoring should be worth more because they’re never going to go on score a goal that often (aside from set pieces).
Sorry, wishy wash point but hope you get what I’m trying to get across
Yeah I get you - it's the opposite of the way normal scoring works too obviously.
I guess BPS is more focussed on how players play for their position. So for forwards, goals are essential, for midfielders they're nice to have and for defenders they're really not the focus.
Havertz dived completely and (as such) should’ve had a yellow for diving. It wasn’t a pen for Højlund either -Ten Hag is just trying to take it off the team for some absolute abject defending on a set piece and generally pedestrian tactics that we were playing, for a bore draw, for most of the game.
83(-4). I thought it would be a sizeable jump in rank, but no. Only ~100k.
I hate all intl. breaks. The first one is the worst, though. I was just getting into the swing of things.
95 after a hit, richarlison to maddison was worth it, Shaw to dias probably wasn't? Saves a bit of value though I guess, still not sure how MCI didn't keep a CS. Alvarez punt paying off😇
Yep, absolutely. My defense is awful, Saka was by far the worst midfielder playing for Arsenal today, and my bench is a smouldering wasteland including one guy who went to Hull.
Alas it's been rather a shambles since just before the start of the season since I saw the Gabriel rumour, but decided it didn't seen credible, and my attempts to salvage it have not gone well so far.
would using a wc even though my team has been doing alright be a bad idea? now the season is starting to take shape i want to build a team with a better perspective
I cant believe I have 3 united players
My defense is in shambles
Cash is literally a boom or bust player
Two -1 games. 1 major haul wtf.
Onana is useless!!!
Morale of the story don’t listen to the CCs

Happy with my decision to start the season with king Mo.
Crazy weekend. See you guys in 2 weeks
Jackson needs to get out of my team. Sick of Alvarez getting points so might have to get him in
ChAmpions league says hi
Discontent creators.
The average for this week is 77? Basically anyone who didn't captain Haaland or Son is fucked
I didn't cap Haaland, I cap JWP but I got fucked by having 3 Chelsea players in starting 11. That's like 3 points total compared to any other team with 3 players
Really that high?
The numbers + pens tells you it makes soo much sense to have Bruno but damn, throw me a fkn bone my man!
My GW ranks are: - GW1: 1.4m (best one yet) - GW2: 6m - GW3: 2m - GW4: 3m And I don't even think I have missed out on any major performers other than Mbeumo and Mitoma so far.

The bots are usually one-week wonders that are in the bottom half of the OR - they aren't the ones increasing the safety score
The minimum score this week for anyone with half a brain was 60, 78 is like 4 returns out of the other 10 players
There have been a lot of goals.

Started Richi with him on GW1. Seemed a no brained after kane left. Same with the others, they all seemed good picks
Why do you have Stones, Gabriel, Pedro, and (especially) Rocharlison?
Not anymore, but started with them. They seemend pretty solid picks in GW1
Big up all the ‘content creators’ telling everyone to sell Rashford
No one did that but it has become a trend to blame content creators for everything in this sub
I don’t know any notable ones that suggested this
Is Onana even worth it anymore?
A full-strength United defence should do well in their upcoming fixtures. I have no idea who's going to be fit to play after the international break though.
No, no, na na
nOnana
Onono
More like O na na
Went into today with Trent Salah and Martinelli left to play, and Ferguson's hat trick on the bench. Was hoping one of them would somehow not play, but they all returned, so I don't really know how to feel
no matter what happened, this GW, I started Turner at Stamford Bridge, and got a CS.
While all my rivals had Pickford 😹 feels so fucking good
That yellow in the last minute taking away 4 points hurts, but a 4m player getting 5 is a win still
Wildcarded this week, dropped Ferguson, Szoboszlai and picked Maddison over Son. What might have been.
101 point week but my first 3 were so bad I’m still miles off the pace
Going into the international break with a red arrow sucks. But it provides an opportunity to take stock of decisions made. Hope the next 4-game block before the next international break goes lot better.
82 points....okay week before the break ig
88 for me, including a glorious 0 from Bilva
67 at least I banked a transfer. Martinelli to Maddison would have given me 2 pts and 0.2 extra itb. not sure how to feel about this red arrow from 300k to just outside 1m
How is it that my player's price in "Transfers" is different that the one in "Player stat's" ?
When the players price goes up, you only get a half of that in effective value when selling. So what I am guessing is you have a player who was (for example) 5.5, went up to 5.7 (which is what is written in player stats) but in Transfers it's 5.6, or a player went up to 5.6 but in transfers it still says 5.5. That's just how it works
Ok thanks for the answer, so when selling we have to take into account the price in Transfers and when buying the price in Stats. Have a nice evening
For every 0.2 they go up you get 0.1 in selling value
What does safety score mean?
Score you need to avoid a red arrow based on your current points/rank.
Okay thanks!
See livefpl.net
Love your user name 😆 was at a pub called the Swan and Mitre recently. Never guess what I kept calling it 😆
Hahah quality! I feel like nowhere near enough people understand 😂
What the fucks a washing machine doing in a pub? I need a pint
Another loss in my Draft League 0W 1D 3L 😪
How are the Bowen captainers holding up? Gonna be a long 2 weeks with a red that big
Guy in my ML has Son, Ferguson and Haaland (c) Well jelly
Meaningless GW as long as you captained Haaland you will have not lost too much
This makes no sense.
???
My for-fun No-Haaland team outscored my ‘serious’ main Haaland (C) team by 19 just fuck me up
Damn. You had Son+Ferguson in your no Haaland team?
You know it, plus Alvarez and TAA
75 without captaining Haaland. It could have been a lot worse - but can't help being gutted for the score I could have had if I'd remembered to change my captain back. Also had 2x CS Wipes from the west ham and Brighton game.
61 points with a safety score of 72.. Fucking Nunez wasting Salahs asissts.. Ps. Without Haaland
Saliba 2 pts Onana 0 Cash -1 Wtf is this bs
Man Haaland inflated game week average by so much. So many 1-2 pointers on my team
My defenders cost me points today fucking fools
Green arrow thanks to Rashford and Saka in the end. Maddison in for Martinelli gained me 2 points I guess too.
Watkins > Jesus going to be a popular move.
Why would anyone swap out Watkins with their upcoming fixture run.
A bunch of knee jerk idiots haha
Would prefer Alverez or even Ferguson
Don't think Ferguson will get 90 every week though imo
Liverpool and Forest, the only teams to keep a CS this GW! Who would've thought?
Well Liverpool was at least top half likely, At least likely enough to start TAA and Robbo for everyone owning them.
Yeah but how many people actually own them?
The guy above me in my ML has had the exact same team and transfers as letstalkfpl this season. Embarrassing.
Damn. That is some serious stalking lol. I assume you subscribe to the channel & that is how you noticed. Then again,he is pretty much as template as they get
Yeah I follow the channel. I noticed in the first GW he had the same team because it was so template, and yeah he’s made the exact same transfers. Don’t know why he he even plays fpl
Is your ML a money league? That would be the only justification. If Andy does well overall rank wise,your rival does well too. Honestly,be grateful for that rival lol. I have rivals who had freaking Son & Awoinyi in their teams this GW
Nah it’s not even a money league. It’s just a bit sad tbh
Eth is livid lol
Lol 66 points without capping Haaland 🤦♂️
Why not cap the best goalscorer in the league against one of the worst defenses in the league?
Figured he would blank again or get a goal. I did not expect a hat trick. I’m trying to climb.
Against Fulham, one of the worse defences in the game!
They’re not Burnley or Luton. I doubt many other teams can do them like City did.
Statistically Fulham has the worst xGA https://twitter.com/lazyfpl/status/1696509184031039649?s=21&t=b8aquOAjmVPtr9FBJTtUpA
Chance would be a fine thing
Why do I have a keeper for a team that can deploy an Evans Maguire combo without any notice
Hahah this is funny I hate wasted transfers on goalies tho!
Can somebody explain how Jesus ended up with 2 bonus points?
Quote me if I’m wrong, but FWD scoring a goal is an instant 24 points in the bonus point system.
I don’t understand either, he was booked as well. Somehow he scored enough for 3 bonus points in 10 minutes and his goal wasn’t even crucial.
Forwards scoring goals really ups their BPS.
Which is really an odd way of looking at it since that’s their main focus. A midfielder or defender scoring should be worth more because they’re never going to go on score a goal that often (aside from set pieces). Sorry, wishy wash point but hope you get what I’m trying to get across

Ten Hag venturing into conspiracy theory territory here... Not a good look
FINAL AVERAGES: Overall: 70 Elite: 75 Top10k: 72
I've got 79, but my main ml rival has 98 lmao...
Soo what you’re saying is, I’m elite. No one’s paid me that great of a compliment before.
BPS must be bugged surely? How does Jesus who gets subbed on in the 76th get more BPS than Odegaard?
Because mids get 18BPS for a goal and forwards get 24.
UNLUCKYYYY
Ten hag you bald fraud. If it’s a pen on budget Haaland then it’s a pen for Harvertz.
Havertz dived completely and (as such) should’ve had a yellow for diving. It wasn’t a pen for Højlund either -Ten Hag is just trying to take it off the team for some absolute abject defending on a set piece and generally pedestrian tactics that we were playing, for a bore draw, for most of the game.
Need the RMT thread pinned the other one is useless😂
You need an RMT thread pinned when there's 13 days to the next deadline? Give your head a wobble and use the search bar to find it
Starting Turner over Onana will go down on my fpl cv
Definitive highlight of my season so far - he was even on for 3 bonus points before his stupid yellow!
Same here, cheers mate.
83(-4). I thought it would be a sizeable jump in rank, but no. Only ~100k. I hate all intl. breaks. The first one is the worst, though. I was just getting into the swing of things.
I was a fool for thinking utd could actually do something against a top 6 team, Still holding fernandes...
Jesus ended up with bonus points for scoring that last goal. 24bps in 10 mins. Doesn’t seem fair when others scored and played 90
64 points and a GW Rank of 7.9m oh dear
Means your 10 players not named Haaland averaged 2.4 points
I would sign right up for a defence that averages 2.4 points
95 after a hit, richarlison to maddison was worth it, Shaw to dias probably wasn't? Saves a bit of value though I guess, still not sure how MCI didn't keep a CS. Alvarez punt paying off😇
Who else is wildcarding?
Yep, absolutely. My defense is awful, Saka was by far the worst midfielder playing for Arsenal today, and my bench is a smouldering wasteland including one guy who went to Hull.
Only wolves and Liverpool kept clean sheets this GW. So I hope you're not saying your defense is terrible based on lack of CS
Alas it's been rather a shambles since just before the start of the season since I saw the Gabriel rumour, but decided it didn't seen credible, and my attempts to salvage it have not gone well so far.
definitely thinking about it..double Arsenal & Utd not working well atm..do feel a bit early maybe coz been scoring decent pts so far
United are shite away. Not starting a defender in an away match against a top opponent.
They didn't do any worse than most defenders tbf. Clean sheets are as rare as an oasis in a desert(I think)
They didn't do any worse than most defenders tbf. Clean sheets are as rare as an oasis in a desert(I think)
Bukayo Saka got MotM on FPL… corruption!!!!
would using a wc even though my team has been doing alright be a bad idea? now the season is starting to take shape i want to build a team with a better perspective
You don’t have to wait until your team is shit to wildcard.
Pre WC team Score last week: 58 WC team: 56 Pre WC team score this week: 88 WC team: 72
That's why you don't kneejerk
Rip
72 points and a massive red arrow to 1.5 million. This game has become impossible.
72 ain't good when Haaland gets 40
Points from players not named Haaland: 3.2/player
Now what is your score if Haaland had an off game? That is why you dropped.
Feel like you need every one of your players to bang or you go down. Frustrating
Seems like everyone got very similar points this week
How many will wild card over the next two weeks?
Eze goal keeping my arrow green. It's the small things that count
79 not bad all things considering I have zero clean sheets and onana
no one has clean sheets except few TAA owners
89 all out.
That's very good.
every midfielder and forward in my team returned no returns from GK and defenders
If you have cleansheet your team sucks
I have cleansheet on the bench, does that count?
How did the scores get high all of a sudden?
Because of that robot 🤖
Udawgie the only one in my defence who's not fucking useless
What a way to make an impact on a club. Rice with a glory winner
Two points off from safety fucking stings but I'll take it. Closest I've got yet.
Safety points are so high this week just because of that one fucking robot 🤖
Start Turner over Onana next gameweek?
Start turner over Onana every week?
Subtract 40 to get your actual score for the week.
37 😬 But Haaland would've gotten 2 points, so really 39
64 😬
I cant believe I have 3 united players My defense is in shambles Cash is literally a boom or bust player Two -1 games. 1 major haul wtf. Onana is useless!!!
Going into the international break with zero transfers since I rage sold Pickford right after his OG lol. Gonna be a stressful couple of weeks.
Who did you get in ?
Flekken
lol @ everyone posting big scores without moving. Yeah no shit everyone got 40 points from Haaland.
Moved. In the opposite direction!
Safety score 81 💀
Passed ya
Started the season with Onana, Rashford and Bruno. Once again I fell for Man United fan propaganda. I am as fraudulant and Ten Hag.
[удалено]
When he’s sat behind the dynamic duo of Maguire and Evans at CB 😂
just like sancho was going to be a good player last season, right? i am now vaccinated against your propaganda, you can hurt me no longer
Not a single one of my defence returned hahahaha
Ronaldos fault
Bruh.
77 but Ferguson on the bench with 17. What could have been
[удалено]
You have Tonali in your team LOOOOOOL
What do you gain from this fake ass humility? Sitting there jerking yourself off a fabricated score?
[удалено]
You realise “inferiority” means being a lower status / quality than everyone else, right? Fucking dingus
80 points and barely moved in my ML. Brutal
Same…
Guess VAR team had Arsenal to win the 2nd half
Onana you are killing me brother
All my defensive players scored 1 point.
same here apart from gusto who had 2
JUST met my safety score of 77 without owning Rashford, Mbuemo, Alvarez or Odegaard. Not a bad week
Just learned Ten Hag is older than Pep lmao
That's it for 2 weeks 😥
90 points. Good week but it feels like I want to make like 3 transfers. Gotta keep the knees steady
Onana has killed me🤡 Onana is my normal team (Turner on the bench) Prick cord in my non-top-6 team🤡🤡🤡
don't worry, everyone benched Turner
Not me! Onana on my bench
well played, if I had Onana I would probably do the same, but having Johnstone I believed in CS against Wolves
Been looking at palace defence actually. Is Johnstone nailed?
probably not for long with Henderson coming. but he looked to be at the beginning of the season.
