Haaland is ruled out until January 13th according to the FPL site injury status, it's going to be very interesting to see how people will select their captain without Haaland, Salah, Son, even the currently red hot Kudus and Chelsea's Jackson too are going to be on the leave for international duties.

These are times that will really differentiate between good FPL managers from the nothing but just trend-bandwagons.

Maybe it's time for Watkins to bring on the big guns and deliver whilst star players go on international duties. Watkins is now the best forward in terms of returns in the FPL this season. I know this is due to Haaland's injury but Watkins has something. Who is going to miss Jackson?  I know he got an assist today but his returns are considerably low compared to the number of chances and services and do receive.

What a "Cole"!!! from Palmer, that's some beautiful style of football from Chelsea, I've always said, give Palmer an open space or free role and he'd work some magic!, I hope Poch is seing why clogging the midfield with Enzo, Caceido and Gallagher is not going to bring out the best from his attacking play makers, all he needs is just two of the three, but regardless the selection Caceido should sure be in the mix, and Enzo is nothing too expensive to have on of start from the bench, if its for the greater purpose of the team.


That Palmer's second half was lit. I thought he'd miss it after that defender tracked him back but he was "cole" and calm till the finishing. But Chelsea was lucky to get out with a win today.

I am very glad I captured Palmer's monster haul, and there's a haul in progress for my captain Watkins too. I almost gave the armband to Alvarez but I thought he would have some bad luck against Sheffield United after he had just returned last gameweek.

At any rate, I still need some more GAs from my team in order to clear the 20-point gap you Solanke owners created in GW18. Still haven't recovered from it, it seems.

forgot to make some changes to my team before deadline
festive season at it best

not sure what I would do, so it could be a good thing after all, since Haaland doesn't play from start and wouldn't onboard others from City, will be interesting, and 2 transfers next week

Not really, there isn't a single manager out there that can predict things perfectly for one GW. Really good managers make good decisions whole season and towards the end it tells, since majority of their decisions work out ok. FPL is just a game of numbers and it all sort of comes back to the mean sooner or later.

In any single GW variance is just too high and nobody can predict that other then bet on easier fixtures and top players.

I'm happy for rising to the 2nd position. However like you said as well I have to change so many players in my team because of AFCON and AFC Asian Cup. I assume that I can use my 2nd wildcard right away after it comes. Just because for not using my wildcard I don't want to make 3-4 additional transfers.
Of course you can use your wildcard as soon as you get it but that means no more wildcard this season. Son and Salah will also come back from those tournaments at the same time Newcastle will embark on nice set of fixtures. This is really though period to navigate and I am quite pissed at myself for spending one transfer to remove Tsimikas. I should have just left him on the bench till wildcard.

Yeah you managed to get too close to comfort to my top position. Thankfully AFCON and the other one start soon so I am expecting some problems for your team. Not enough transfers to get rid of Salah, Son, Hee Chan, Lamptey and Lascelles. Last minute penalty save for Raya helped as well.

You bought Trippier now? I have him in my team for most of the season and next 3 games are absolutely the worst possible 3 for Newcastle. They are playing against some of the best attacks in the league in Liverpool, City and Villa at the time where they are totally out of form. To make it worse only City is at home.

Yes, I did.

I had two transfers and one was going to waste either way so I brought him for a potential in the game since I have Duvbraka already, I hoped to maximise the probable returns, I didn't have payers I wanted for a long term basis at that point, so it was an easy Trippier in, Trippier out back to back gw, with transfers that were likley going to waste anyways. It just didn't turnout how I anticipated.

Man, did you overdo it on the alcohol? Your posts are still in the thread; what are you looking for in your draft?

Apparently, I was actually having nerve infection, literally hallucinating earlier this week. Funny, I didn't really feel that ill, but brain was definitely very funky.

This GW winner is probably . Still some bonus points to be calculated but I believe it should be yours. See man your casual free hit at least netted you 1 mBTC free bet, well played  Grin Captain on Darwin also required some real courage.

Congratulations @buwaytress — obviously not an easy feat at a time where most teams got very low returns. The average was around 20 points IIRC.

Average is 38 according to my screen so I didn't do THAT well. I honestly meant to play Wild Card but I've been having a brain fog this whole week turns out I was actually sick heh. At least I used the card well and recouped a bit.

Now back to my old team, have to put out the final 2 injured players, swapping Hwang and Luis Diaz in.

I've seen stranger things happen this GW

Salah and Watkins blanking

Darwin and Alvarez scoring

Arsenal being toothless and giving Areola 10 points

Our old pal Joao Pedro getting 16 points after dumping Spurs

Maybe for the Liverpool game at least they might turn around, because they have a full week of rest before they play. Nobody was expecting any of the above to happen either.

Arsenal assets underperforming right now. What are your plans for this lots?  I watched the game today and Martineli is looking like a shadow of his former self. He used to be more deadly that this; Saka too but I don't know why.

Tottenham and Arsenal assets were supposed to give me some good points today and they defaulted.

I left my best asset on the bench, Areola but who would have willingly put Duvbraka on the bench and Areola to start with for a game week like this ? I even brought in Trippier for their damn fixture.

I have Trippier and Gordon in my squad and if I did not need transfers to handle Salah and Son I would kick them out this week without second thought. As it is I will probably keep one or both on the bench for time after those 3 GW. That is the time Newcastle gets good fixtures and I expect them to be back to the old form by then.

I'm very cool with the fact my team would be fine now going forward, with my players returning from suspension so I can start making other plans too.

Hee Chan saved me from the red arrow after my wrong captain decision + Halaand playing zero minutes, claimed a few spots forward, so it was a good GW. Now I have Onana and Hee Chan to think about.

Saliba hasn't been good since I got him. Arsenal has forgotten how to keep a clean sheet. When is the Asian cup starting?

I see that the topic title has been edited. I assume that we won't be able to continue down the road with [banned mixer] because of the rule changes to be made on the forum in the new year. At the same time I saw bc.game among the sponsors in the first post. Is this a new deal?

... For example Hwang Hee-chan's performance isn't good at all in the recent times. I want to get Gordon instead of him.

After I wrote this he managed to collect 14 points anyway despite leaving the first match in which he played in the 45th minute by getting injured. Fortunately I kept him in my squad. Smiley

To be fair that is on you. When I am first on the table it goes to my advantage if you all do the same decisions as myself Smiley So I just do the best decision possible and if you copy I keep my advantage and if you don't copy and miss it you fall even further behind.

And by the way, difference between them is 3 points, hardly something to stress about. Did not watch Liverpool but from the stats and what cryptofrka told me, Liverpool should have scored quite a few more. Probably some of those were Salah chances as well.

There were chances that Salah could make a score contribution however he was unlucky. I also think that Salah is the most logical captain for the matches on this week. I see that Trent Alexander-Arnold isn't in your squad. Do you think of transferring him on the upcoming weeks? Because as it is shown in the image below he is making one win really good amount of points on the recent weeks.
Probably not, his price point is just way too difficult to accommodate without multiple transfers and I feel like he would stop scoring as soon as I get him. If I had enough money to change Tsimikas to Arnold this week I would have done it. Now it is only a possibility if Haaland is confirmed out for Sheffield. If i was on wildcard I would take him no questions asked but when you start to add transfer costs and opportunity lost into equation then it is probably better to skip.

Shit, I made so many bad choices recently. I had both Sterling and Palmer out due to suspensions and I swear to God, I told myself I'm gonnna take Garnacho as soon as possible after seeing him play vs Liverpool.

This was a perfect opportunity to do it, but I calculated and sad to myself that Villa is a tough game - I'll do it afterwards, I need to replace Son and Salah anyway.
So I went with Gusto instead of Tsimikas, Garnacho scored a million of points, I need to remove Romero and Garnacho's price will now rise - and I will probably have to wildcard soon to be able to replace both Son and Salah.

I don't know how I'm still top 10 - considering that Haaland's not playing, I won't be after this GW.
