What's the latest on Jota, and why are Gakpo and Nunez starting over him, Liverpool fans? He is the best differential pick available.

Klopp is managing his minutes because he just came back from an injury.

Something that you'd think Pep would be doing to Haaland, Doku and de Bruyne but with Pep you never really know. Annoys me that the games start at 22:30 in this time zone.

Watkins had no shots on target and only 5 touches in the 18-yard box. I sold Watkins, dropped from the top 10 to the bottom 10, got him back, and he murdered me on the rock.
Four blanks in five games since bringing Watkins back to my team. If you don't laugh, you will cry Grin

same here, started with him on
as soon as I sold him, he started scoring, and scored almost all goals that he scored

and when I brought him back, he started again with blanks
can't overstate how lousy is he on my team, and you all should probably bring him in, because I will send him out for Haaland, now that Haaland is back

Watkins does this all season, so don't give up on him just yet. I have Halaand, Solanke, and Watkins up front, so I've got my front three covered for the time being.

Trofo thank you for ruining my GW, I knew Solanke was going to outscored Salah Huh

. Terrible captain decision

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

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.

You lucky bastard, you keep fooling us for your own benefit, fuck me I fell for it, I should have gone with my first choice. At this moment, no point is less essential to me; every point lost moves me back a step or two. Cheesy

Salah raised his hand for a pass more than he did for a shot on goal, and Elliot and Gakpo are selfish brats.

Watkins had no shots on target and only 5 touches in the 18-yard box. I sold Watkins, dropped from the top 10 to the bottom 10, got him back, and he murdered me on the rock.

Yesterday i tried to wildcard for the first time, and man... that was quite hard to do, i ended up not doing the movements, the problem was i want to make space for Haaland, but it was impossible to do without losing so much key players.

About Palmer, i think is one of the best players in the ratio money spend/points, and also i think he have a good future for the rest of the season. Sterling is good i have him, but is expensive, and more thinking about when Chelsea is not doing so good.

To have Halaand in your side, you must downgrade your backline; every team is terrible at keeping clean sheets, so having low-budget players at the back with a strong midfield and attack will still get you decent points.

Not having Halaand is going to bite you a lot this season, and you'll need to be a completely differential specialist to survive. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes.

Don't sell Palmer or Sterling just because they are suspended for one game, unless you don't plan on returning them anytime soon.

Sterling might actually benefit from Nkunku's finishing.

Meanwhile Palmer is more than just a pens merchant now.

I dare say, Gordon is a better captain choice than Wilson, this guy returns in every home game.

Solanke is probably going to fall for the "Player of the week" curse like most of the others.

Palmer is a must-keep, but Sterling's terrible mistakes have already cost us more league games; if Poch is anything like what I think of him, he will let Sterling rot on the bench for the rest of the season and sell him in January. He's not an average player, but his decision-making is atrocious; when Pep sold him, people called him a mad man; now they know why.

Palmer is going to stack up more assists from Nkunku finishing ability.

If Hhampuz ask you to send the sats to the Sheriff pocket for community service don't hesitate. Don't

There are also some people that like to use it in double GW since ceiling is much higher then. For instance if City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea get in semi final, you have to target other teams in the blank GW. Who are you gonna target in teams like Burnley or Sheffield? You are quite limited. But then all those 4 teams have double GW and you have plenty of great options.

this seems very reasonable
in empty GW, with few fixtures it is hard to expect to see a lot of people getting much points
but when top teams have two fixtures, and more than one of them, it is a good call

although, two chips can't be used together, so triple captain can't be used with FH, isn't that right? and that could be a drawdown in than theory

looking at fixtures, Salah seems as best choice for captain

Salah is in a terrific form right and it's likely going continue until he leaves for AFCON soon, but this game week, he's the major standout for captaincy choice, with Palmer and Sterting both suspended for a game, it gives multiple opportunity to bring in Nkunku without taking significant point hit. I'd rather go for Callum Wilson again than Solanke who plays against Fulham, while Wilson is up against Forest, so Salah for this week is an easy choice imo.

Classic FPL ending to GW with both Palmer and Sterling getting yellow cards to pile up the pressure for the upcoming GW. Should be some problems especially for those that have Tsimikas as well.

Yep, frustrating end to yesterday's game considering that I've got both of them in my team.
I'm left with 12 available players, and with Haaland and Romero doubtful, and most of my players having away games. Looks like a shitty week, I'm even considering to use a Free hit.

And to think they were both close to having an assist (Sterling) and a goal (from Palmer) points early in the first half if Sterling had a basic understanding of football.

Halaand is back in full training condition and will most likely start tomorrow. ( back to my team)

Trofo, I may require your unexpected help.- Salah or Solanke, who's band on?

Captain pick? It must be Salah, I mean Solanke is good but he is nowhere near Salah level and he is attacker. Midfielders get more points for goal, more bonus points and point for clean sheet, it isn't even a contest in my opinion. Yeah we could have a freak GW and Solanke outscores Salah but I would say 8/10 times this goes to Salah side comfortably.

I did Haaland captain, Watkins vice-captain.

Burnley have some kind of purple patch these last few weeks, but I fully expect the robot to outscore everybody else if he is fit. If not, well we all know Watkins' goal record away from home, against ManU of all teams, so that's a plus.

I also own Salah and TAA.

Kudos to Palmer and Jackson for the 1 point apiece and to Jackson again for missing more than 4 big chances in the game. This would've been the week I win the free bet but I'll keep pushing.

what did they miss, it is really unbelievable
but also Liverpool missed chance 5-on-1, my twitter is full of those two images from both matches

since my Christmas is in two weeks, I will try to see some changes to the team today, after yet another lousy week
Doucoure is out for some time, but I will probably not sell him, can't see much price pressure on him, and we have City this week, not sure that clean sheet is an option here

Nothing much except for the disappointing display from Sterling, Palmer and Jackson. But it's all in the past now although I'm still pissed because I had high hopes for the trio in gw18.

~Snipped.

Two things;

1. I don't plan on using my second WC anytime sooner than game week 28-32, so I've got to be very smart with my transfer, and I wouldn't be taking any points hit so far I have the necesarry amount of starters fit for a game week, even if my entire bench is out injured or suspended.

2. I'm already mapping out how to transition Son, and Salah out of my team, and you know that will sure bring about a potential defensive or attacking upgrade, and you literally need to transfer to make a midfield to a defensive, or forward uprgade, so for Son, Salah and Mitoma, to get a Midfield, Defensive and Forward upgrade the least you'd need is 4 transfers. so, If needs be and Mitoma isn't heading anywhere I could possible have him on the bench for a week or two until I have a free transfer to be rid of him.

When the Afcon and Asian cup starts, it'd definitely going to be chaotic but as someone that has taken one too many negative points hits due to too much transfers and used my WC too early, I'll skip using my WC too early even in those circumstances. My priority f9r the second half of the season is to cover more ground and move towards am upONLY mode moving forward.

Those should be used in empty gameweeks though, right?

There is all kinds of strategies associated with free hits but easiest one to pull off is blank GW. There will be one for sure when FA cup semi finals get scheduled. Those 4 teams will miss out for sure and that means maybe even 4 fixtures postponed.

There are also some people that like to use it in double GW since ceiling is much higher then. For instance if City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea get in semi final, you have to target other teams in the blank GW. Who are you gonna target in teams like Burnley or Sheffield? You are quite limited. But then all those 4 teams have double GW and you have plenty of great options.

Basically it is all very team and season dependent. I have almost always used it in blank GW since you can't use bench boost in combination with it and I try to use bench boost in big double game weeks.

I assume that I could use my second wildcard early after the African Nations Cup starts to remove Salah from my squad. I'm not contented with some of the players in my squad now. However I'm not ready to spend any points to change them. For example Hwang Hee-chan's performance isn't good at all in the recent times. I want to get Gordon instead of him.

Mitoma has supposedly picked up an ankle injury, if his prospective timeline for recovery is between middle way or after the early stages of the Asian Cup, will he be able to participate in the EPL ?

It depends. My take on the matter is thar if his injury is more severe, he would likely be left out of the Japan squad. Why are you bothered about Mitoma anyway? His returns in last 7-8 gameweeks are mid at best.
