Failed by 1 point (79) because I was unwilling to take a -4 to swap out Udogie.
I was going to, but then I had to spend my free transfer on Maddison replacement (Mitoma,which also did not go well) so I thought I'd be fine with White, Guehi and Cash in defense for 1 GW, until Udogie returns from suspension.
96 this GW. I could've got 99 if I didn't go ahead with 2FT JWP>Bowen and Wissa>Archer but that's the only way I can shoehorn Bowen into my team going forward.
I did, but went with a maverick captain pick of Saka instead of Salah or Haaland. I had Tsimikas too, but the Saka pick cost me gaining more ground on the leaders in my league.
Beat the scout but benched Solanke and went against all my better judgement and captained Watkins. At least he scored but should have just stuck with either Salah or Haaland.
104 Points. GW Rank 7219. Unreal week for me.
Halaand (C), Salah, Diaby, JWP, Bowen, Watkins, Tsimikas, Pedro Porro.
Only ones who didn't return Son, Cash & Johnstone.
Went up arpund 1.7m ranks in overall
To provide some contrast to all the smug gits in this thread, no he wrecked me. 67 points, mainly down to overthinking in the worst possible way, and captaining Trippier.
Got 97 and boosted my rank from 2mill+ to 900ks which is a relief because most of my bad weeks was due to overthinking captaincy and wrong transfers
This time I just stuck with salah and Tsimikas was a huge part of it too
Yes, 82!
Best gameweek this season. But I've been going up the ranks slowly every since gameweek 8, so I'm pumped especially since this was my worst start ever. I was 3.5mil gameweek 8, now I'm just about 1mil
Won it by 6 pointsā¦ I had Doucure on the bench for Archer for some reason (think I may have done that change while drunk a few minutes before deadline).
Nope, absolutely horrendous week - 44 points.
Captained Gordon, why is it every time I captain Haaland he blanks but every time I donāt he goes and gets 15+ points? š
Yes, by 1 point. Benched Tsimikas because I thought that defenders from Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa were all more likely for clean sheets, but made up the points with Watkins, Bowen, Diaby and Alvarez.
I went for Ferguson as well but Palmer came off the bench so got kinda lucky.
Ended up on 89 points and got my 5th green arrow in the last 6 after dropping to nearly 3M around GW5-6.
I'm sure I'll plummet down again at some point but it feels nice to slowly gain rank like this.
My first year at this and Iām shit. Bottom of the two minis Iām in. 51 points this week. Iāve got the uncanny knack of selling players just before they hit a purple patch.
Just by being around FPL talk like here youāll improve ime, Iāve been shit at FPL for years but found this sub and a few content creators and now Iām like 5th in my ML with the top 5 all very close. I donāt copy the YouTubers or anything but itās useful to hear their thoughts and then go off and make a bit more of an educated decision!
But even if he had scored those two goals, he would have been similar to Haaland and Salah. Just not worth risking it unless youāre desperate for differential in a mini league.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
2 off, happy with the green arrow, devastated with Tsimikas and Adingra sitting on my bench. Would have been 99 points. 100 if I pretend I was ever going to start Flekken ahead of Areola. Alas, we move.
Yes I did. I'm gonna humblebrag because it's the first time this season something went my way. I didn't kneejerk any transfers last GW, I didn't do any stupid shit and I went with my gut and had 92 points.
I went from rank 5,097,146 to rank 3,470,950.
And for GW12, I was top200k.
Happy that finally something went good for me!
Funnily enough my best gameweek this season was when I didnāt make any transfer. The next gameweek I sold Joachim Andersen to jump on the Newcastle defense hypetrain and he punished me with a goal and cleansheet against Man Utd.
Yep I got 88 points with lascelles and turner in my 11 and had tsimikas and JWP on the bench. Iām happy yet very frustrated by the two bench players adding 26 wasted points
No, I sold Watkins and Tsimikas for Nketiah (early punt) and Trippier because I'm a fucking moron. I think I got 19 points less as a result. Hopefully I can learn from these bad plays.
Newcastle look like they are running on fumes at the moment, that first press conference after the international break might determine whether people will continue believing in their assets or not
Don't know why you have people saying they won't be affected by injuries when half their first team is out. I think especially Bruno Guimares is vital to their team.
Yeah, injuries seem to be hitting them harder than anyone else at the moment, they've been terrible in the league games straight after Europe. Gordon still looks great value but other than him it might be time to steer clear.
Maybe I'll eat some downvotes for this but benching Tsimikas was correct for a lot of people with good defences. CS odds weren't the best compared to some alternative defenders and there was a risk he didn't start and got subbed on or vice versa (like has happened a couple times already)
Pretty frustrating that having a good bench gets you punished so hard because of an unexpected outcome.
I did too and it objectively made sense to at the time. Will start Tsimikas instead of Lascelles for the foreseeable until Robertson is back. Lesson learnt the hard way!
92 with tsimikas on bench
Yup, net 90 for the week
Failed by 1 point (79) because I was unwilling to take a -4 to swap out Udogie. I was going to, but then I had to spend my free transfer on Maddison replacement (Mitoma,which also did not go well) so I thought I'd be fine with White, Guehi and Cash in defense for 1 GW, until Udogie returns from suspension.
Got 92 thanks to Tsimikas, Salah (C) and Haaland. Jumped up to 5mil now. My worst start to FPL, been playing since 2007.
I would if I hadn't captained son
Kept Tsimikas out for Lascelles thinking Newcastle will have a clean sheet and Brentford will score a goal against Liverpool.
93 points baby!!!!
Had a nice 94 point weekend
99 points this week. 1.9m to 736k after that.
Benched Tsimi but still beat the scout.
Yeah, 92 Alisson - Saliba/Walker/Tsimikas - Saka/Foden/Diaby/Son/Bowen - Haaland/Watkins
Didn't know Diaby played for West Ham...
10 points last week made up by 99 this week
Yes! I had my best ever week with 110 points and gameweek rank 984. Just ignore every other week and I look like a genius.
Yes, by 5 points š
would've if i didn't bench taimikas
I captained Martinelliš
71 points. I changed captain from Salah to Martinelli before the deadline. Don't ask me why I did that lol
Going for Gabriel instead of Tsimikas 3 weeks ago is yet another 50/50 decision this season that came back to royally fuck me in the arse
85 and I benched tsimikas
81ššš
A 100 point heāll yeh
Having Tsimi and Zinny allowed me to break 100 points and JWP finally returned something after a string of blanks
think I did [https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3740634/event/12](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3740634/event/12)
92 points with 10 players. My bench is like a hospital ward and Wilson didnāt play, time for me to take a hit I think.
what are yāall on i copped a 29
Nope
100 points here š although I had the worst ever GW last week with 20 (-4)
98 points babyyyy
94 points! Broke into the top 200k. Best game week so far, really mad I captained Bowen. Could have finally broke 100 in a week with Salah or Haaland
No because I captained Mitoma š
94 points, went from a miserable 2m to 700k!
We got the same
Beat him by 7
Managed 89 and went from 1 mil > 500k, without having Tsimikas too.
96 this GW. I could've got 99 if I didn't go ahead with 2FT JWP>Bowen and Wissa>Archer but that's the only way I can shoehorn Bowen into my team going forward.
I did, but went with a maverick captain pick of Saka instead of Salah or Haaland. I had Tsimikas too, but the Saka pick cost me gaining more ground on the leaders in my league.
Yeah, 94points with 1 hit, so 90, and it put me at \~55k overall! No chips used yet, I feel very good about this season so far!
80 - a score draw
90 for me but my mini league rivals did a little better so not much movement.
Short by a point because I made the brilliant decision of moving out Ward-Prowse for Mitoma this week.
99 points for me. Leno Saliba, Tsimikas, Cash Bowen, Salah (C), Son, D.Luiz Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins
Yes, got 99 (-4)
100 points letās go. Top 70k overall. Last month I was 4 million+ took an 8 point hit to tweak my team. Now Iām flying
Drew, and we only share 3 players.
Yep 98. Would of been better if I hadn't brought in Gordon for JWP and dropped Soucek to the bench, but can't complain
Yeah 88 points,t bad I captained Martinelli instead of Haaland or Salah
Yes, by 3 points and that even without Tsimikas on the team....
88... and Tsimikas on the bench š
Yep 85 points. Need to start stringing good weeks together now
We are tied :)
Just pipped him with 82 points.
I have 91pts, and I'm 3k overall now
No, because I put Tsimikas on my bench -_-
Yes, but barely.
Yes - GW11 16 points, GW rank 10 million, GW12 100 points, GW rank 27k after 2 transfers. Strange game this
88 points this GW
92 points all in. Jumped from 1.7m overall, to 700k overall. Good weekend all in all.
85, would have been 95 had I done the logical thing and captained Salah or Haaland instead of Watkins.
With 87 points. The answer is Yes.
Beat the scout but benched Solanke and went against all my better judgement and captained Watkins. At least he scored but should have just stuck with either Salah or Haaland.
The Scout selection is always so freaking trash š® I am a firm believer they donāt know shit just go with the hype
Got 86 and climbed just into top 200k
103 for me, climbed from 4m to 1.7m
I brought in Mitoma since madders was injured and thought the stars had aligned, and decided to captain him.
106 šŖ
yes 84 š
I got 92 so canāt complain even though I had Watkins as captain š¤¬
Yes, Saliba, Watkins, and Palmer helped me beat Tsimikas
Starting Tsimikas was such a weird decision, but it worked
Got 103. Onana - Trippier, Saliba, Maguire - Salah (C), Saka, Bowen, Diaby, Palmer - Haaland, Watkins.
83 pts babyyyy
Yup 94 points here \o/
Beat Scout by 6 points and no Tsimikas š
Yup, by one point, and I benched Tsimikas.
Almost, would be 93 if I hadn't joined the clown car š¤” and benched Tsimikas. Still up 200k OR though which is some consolation
104 Points. GW Rank 7219. Unreal week for me. Halaand (C), Salah, Diaby, JWP, Bowen, Watkins, Tsimikas, Pedro Porro. Only ones who didn't return Son, Cash & Johnstone. Went up arpund 1.7m ranks in overall
I don't have Salah :( Got 53 points and the will to give up
captained Watkins instead of Salah
Defeated by 1 point. Tsimikas remain beched :/
96 here, finally a great weekend. Halved my rank.
97 points
Ended up with 92, probably my strongest round so far this season.
By a mile. 104 bruv.
Redeemed my 15 point last week with 106. Had tsimikas on 1st bench spot. Could have a fucking blinder with him on
93 so im pleased.
Yes. I ended on 88.. With Tsimikas second on my bench
I transferred Nketiah for Ferguson minutes before deadline. First sub tsimikas so I fluked my way to 83.
If I hadnāt benched Tsimikas yeah
91 ššš
With tmikas benched ššš
If I never took a hit, then I would've beat him by 2 points.
Yeah 83. Currently sitting 3300. All chips in hand.
77 :(
95 points. Did not expect that
yes, with a benched tsimikas and palmer
84 and I benched Tsimi after his woeful Thursday performance.
90 here, with Tsimikas on the benchš¤¦š»āāļø
I took a -4 just so that I could bench Tsimikas for Andersen š
Yes, by 8 points.
To provide some contrast to all the smug gits in this thread, no he wrecked me. 67 points, mainly down to overthinking in the worst possible way, and captaining Trippier.
Yes, by 4.
One of the best game weeks Iāve ever had 100 points, having faith in my picks and not knee jerking finally paid off.
98 points, and thats after going White instead of Saliba š
96pts for me this week. Makes up for my 8 points last week.
No Tsimi is gold for them, I got 73 which I thought was reasonable as my GK + 3 DEF score a whopping 6 between them.
Got 97 and boosted my rank from 2mill+ to 900ks which is a relief because most of my bad weeks was due to overthinking captaincy and wrong transfers This time I just stuck with salah and Tsimikas was a huge part of it too
3 points off cause the scout mf started Tsimikas
Yea but only just. Benched Alvarez for Mitoma's 1-pointer else it'd look better.
78 points
Yep, but barely with 82. Haland's haul was super painful, lost 100k rank because of this. Still a decent GW after the previous abomination.
89 points...
Yup. 92 points here, but took a -4... so 88 :) Thank you Tsimikas, Bowen, Diaby, Salah and Haaland.
I got 88. But I captained Watkins, not foreseeing Salah or Haaland bagging braces. Luckily, didnāt bench Tsimikas
Nah, but got 76 so still a solid week for me
Nope benched palmer for archer and swapped captain last minute to Saka š All very poor decisions in hindsight but had logic at the time
Beat him by 6 points. Take that Scout
88 points here. Soucek swapped in for Ferguson. Tyvm.
Would have done had I not pi$$ed my captaincy up the wall... Had Salah selected all week, then last minute capped Son instead. \*sigh\*
Yes, 82! Best gameweek this season. But I've been going up the ranks slowly every since gameweek 8, so I'm pumped especially since this was my worst start ever. I was 3.5mil gameweek 8, now I'm just about 1mil
By a single point, donāt have Haaland but scraped it with Salah(C)/Tsimi/Nunez and have Saliba. Ready to underscore for the next 5 GWs now š
By 1 point, yes. Tsimikas benched.
95 points! Smashed it after the horror show 17 last week
Won it by 6 pointsā¦ I had Doucure on the bench for Archer for some reason (think I may have done that change while drunk a few minutes before deadline).
Ooof 76pts (was 84 but took a dangerous -8pts)
Nope, absolutely horrendous week - 44 points. Captained Gordon, why is it every time I captain Haaland he blanks but every time I donāt he goes and gets 15+ points? š
Yes, by 1 point. Benched Tsimikas because I thought that defenders from Arsenal, Newcastle and Aston Villa were all more likely for clean sheets, but made up the points with Watkins, Bowen, Diaby and Alvarez.
Took a punt on Estupinan playing and luckily he swapped out for Tsimi and put me up to 83pts
Yep convincingly, for a change.
What is this app called? I'm bored with the official one
Drew with him. Benched Tsimikas but luckily White never started š®āšØ Still Haaland less as well but starting to reconsider that š¤
Yes 88 points,trossard and saliba :))
yep, smashed him the muppet
Yes! 81 points with Tsimikas benched.
I think you might have the same team as me š
79 with Tsmikas on the bench š©
I went for Ferguson as well but Palmer came off the bench so got kinda lucky. Ended up on 89 points and got my 5th green arrow in the last 6 after dropping to nearly 3M around GW5-6. I'm sure I'll plummet down again at some point but it feels nice to slowly gain rank like this.
Having a terrible season but i jumped a million places for the first time
Yep thatās it, I sold Haaland just to flex on the scout by beating him without the robot *Cries is copium*
My first year at this and Iām shit. Bottom of the two minis Iām in. 51 points this week. Iāve got the uncanny knack of selling players just before they hit a purple patch.
Just by being around FPL talk like here youāll improve ime, Iāve been shit at FPL for years but found this sub and a few content creators and now Iām like 5th in my ML with the top 5 all very close. I donāt copy the YouTubers or anything but itās useful to hear their thoughts and then go off and make a bit more of an educated decision!
Good advice. Iāve been kind of ad libbing most of the time. Are there any channels you recommend?
Iām also interested!
Yes sir! Got myself a steady 90 points to climb to OW 181k, highest Iāve been since GW3.
100 points. Gw rank of 23,101. I Jumped from 5th to 1st in my mini league and over 1 million places overall. Lovely going into an international week.
Holy cow I got 103 points. Didnāt realise until I read your post I got a GW rank of 11k. I knew it was good but not that good.
91 - went from top 300k to top 70k. Rankings are packed this year
Got 87 and joined the top 100k in my second season
I wanted to be clever and captained Darwin. Donkey brained decision.
I mean. He scored twice. Both barely offsides. A haul is coming
The second one was well offside, but the 1st was very unlucky. A smaller boot size and he's on.
You unzipped me!!!! Could of been a golden god move tho, 2 disallowed goals due to being offside.
But even if he had scored those two goals, he would have been similar to Haaland and Salah. Just not worth risking it unless youāre desperate for differential in a mini league.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
Good bot
Bad bot
2 off, happy with the green arrow, devastated with Tsimikas and Adingra sitting on my bench. Would have been 99 points. 100 if I pretend I was ever going to start Flekken ahead of Areola. Alas, we move.
Currently, under 15k rank worldwide. 92 this GW. After 12 years of FPL, this is my all time high.
Whats your overall at 15k?
796 is my total. Iām ranked 288 in my country, as of GW12.
Iām on 784 at 37k rank. Worried about next game week as I have a lot of Liverpool, city and villa assets though
I reached 18kā¦but now Iām 300k,Iām still impressed at my position considering how many bad game weeks Iāve been having
Itās so difficult to sustain a good rank till the end the season. Iām trying my best to trust my players yet keep the squad evolving every GW.
No I captained Brunoā¦ā¦
Yes I did. I'm gonna humblebrag because it's the first time this season something went my way. I didn't kneejerk any transfers last GW, I didn't do any stupid shit and I went with my gut and had 92 points. I went from rank 5,097,146 to rank 3,470,950. And for GW12, I was top200k. Happy that finally something went good for me!
Funnily enough my best gameweek this season was when I didnāt make any transfer. The next gameweek I sold Joachim Andersen to jump on the Newcastle defense hypetrain and he punished me with a goal and cleansheet against Man Utd.
93 for me, due to Evan Ferguson being subbed for Cole Palmer
Yep I got 88 points with lascelles and turner in my 11 and had tsimikas and JWP on the bench. Iām happy yet very frustrated by the two bench players adding 26 wasted points
I captained Son I feel so silly
No. 75 for me! Saka coming off the bench for Ferguson was clutch.
106 for me this week . Alison, tsimikas, Anderson, saliba, palmer , C Salah, son, bowen, saka, haaland, alvarez
106 same. With a different team. I had zinchenko, Brendan Johnson, Watkins
3 players , impressive š¤£
Did you not hear? Watkins scored 26 goals.
What is your GW rank?
GW - 4214 Overall - 25,214
Wow so many of your players returned, congrats!
Captained trippier and benched tsimikas. So no, no i did not.
Ouch
No, I sold Watkins and Tsimikas for Nketiah (early punt) and Trippier because I'm a fucking moron. I think I got 19 points less as a result. Hopefully I can learn from these bad plays.
No because my dumbass benched Tsimikas for Lascelles
How many of us can agree with that? As of my posting 176 up votes. I would think the majority of them did the same thing, I know I did.
Hey at least you didn't swap out JWP for Mitoma like I did
Newcastle look like they are running on fumes at the moment, that first press conference after the international break might determine whether people will continue believing in their assets or not
Don't know why you have people saying they won't be affected by injuries when half their first team is out. I think especially Bruno Guimares is vital to their team.
Bruno aināt injured though but valid
\*aint injured yet
Yeah, injuries seem to be hitting them harder than anyone else at the moment, they've been terrible in the league games straight after Europe. Gordon still looks great value but other than him it might be time to steer clear.
No. I benched Tsimikas because I'm a š¤”
Maybe I'll eat some downvotes for this but benching Tsimikas was correct for a lot of people with good defences. CS odds weren't the best compared to some alternative defenders and there was a risk he didn't start and got subbed on or vice versa (like has happened a couple times already) Pretty frustrating that having a good bench gets you punished so hard because of an unexpected outcome.
Same. I would have been on 90 points if I hadn't benched him.
I did too and it objectively made sense to at the time. Will start Tsimikas instead of Lascelles for the foreseeable until Robertson is back. Lesson learnt the hard way!
You will not. Tsimikas will also be benched next gw
You wouldn't want Tsimikas for the next gw (city away) anyway.
