I didn't understand why Pep didn't send Kevin De Bruyne in. .

I did not understand too, it cost me some points, but later it was reported that KDB did not feel comfortable and was rested as a precaution. It will be a blow to Manchester City and Pep if he gets injured again just after returning from injury, it was the best decision from the coach.

hope to see Nunez on the pitch, so he can outscore Haaland tonight, and provide my 3C choice some return
nevertheless, not hoping to much on that

Nunez is still doubt for the game, it may be Cody to take his place.

The only good thing in all this is that a lot of us made similar moves. Those with triple captain on Haaland will be furious as well.

One goal and 2 bonus points over 2 games isn't what was expected to be honest, but then again, a bird in hand is better than 3 in the forest they'd say, and those whoever still have the triple captain chip burden on themselves really can never guarantee that it would pay better dividends than Haaland have for this game week.

3 Liverpool assets - 2 injured after the 1st game.

both are questionable, at least per announcements

who picked KDB as 3C had probably worst choice, and I have him on the team, will have to take different approach next season, if I decide to play FPL
too much time consuming

So, 3 City assets in DGW (Foden, Alvarez, KDB) - total of 14 points in 2 home games.
Saka or Odegaard alone - 15 or 14 points.

3 Liverpool assets - 2 injured after the 1st game.

The only good thing in all this is that a lot of us made similar moves. Those with triple captain on Haaland will be furious as well.

Heyyy!!!!!!!! Haaland scored only 1 goal!

2 games, 1 goal. It's not the kind of returns that FPL managers expected. Most people used their triple captain chip and Haaland underdelivered (again). I would've been in a more better position if I had just get Salah on my team like I originally wanted and give him the captain as I have always done up until the moment he left for Afcon.

20 points (FINAL) for Haaland as captain to wrap up the GW. Very disappointing considering Salah came from bench to get 22 in a single game.

I didn't understand why Pep didn't send Kevin De Bruyne in. I wish Manchester City lost points tonight. At least Haaland managed to collect 10 points and contributed to people who used TC a little.I don't know about which one of the players to use my TC on. I assume that I will keep it for Solanke on gw28.

One thing is clear now, No KDB, little to no party for Haaland.

Kevin De Bruyne not starting is a kind of a blow to me because he is my captain. I hope he comes on and scores a goal, or maybe just have a good performance, and let the game still end in favor of Brentford or another draw game.

Its 68th minutes and Pep hasnt put him on the field yet despite the score is still 0-0. Well this is probably the worst decision that I've made, TC Haaland and so far he hasnt score a single goal despite playing two times. I could have gotten so many points if I TC Solanke lol, he got 12 points just from a draw against Newcastle. This Brentford's goalkeeper has been putting decent number of saves so far, defenses line are pretty solid as well

Do you wanna know why Haaland not score? Because for the first time in the season i put him playing the freehit, totally fucked.

Good chance for him to score today against Brentford, Manchester City are pressing well, and although Brentford are defending well and very organized, but they will not be able to keep it on for long.

I am in between getting points for the GW from my MCI selects, and then Manchester City dropping points so Arsenal remain second with hopes of getting to first soon. I want MCI to drop points more.

Nunez out of the Luton game as well. Holy fucking shit, I picked 3 Liverpool players for the DGW and it seems that all 3 got injured in the 1st game and will be missing the 2nd one.
2 are surely out, we'll see what the call is with Salah.

You just can't make this shit up.

I supposed I read Nunez was only being substituted half as a precaution, would be back against Luton, and I don't think I've read of Salah being doubtful for game either, only Jota and Curtis Jones are confirmed out until further notice.

I hope Nunez would really play, Salah could sit this one out though, for all I care.

I'mma do away with quite some baggage this week, it's going to be almost double digits points hit for sure, or even WC

Can't find anything about Salah injury but not interested anyway.

He is most transferred player in this GW, and Liverpool does not even play in GW26 Grin

Perfect FPL decision by casuals. After that he has Nottingham then City than no game again. I think I can live without him for this period.

Trust me, I'm happy to discredit my own efforts. That 85 top score was a result of abandoning two game weeks, and forgetting to change bench (hence the right keeper played haha).

Don't worry, we will all sit down and break bread together one fine day (and drink some of Ige's whiskey).

I forgot to make changes for the DGW since I was overthinking it.I spent the entire week debating whether to hit the WC or just go with the TC chip, and by Friday evening, I still wasn't sure what to do. I woke up on Saturday morning and went on a mini-trip without changing anything in my team, only to see it was already deadline day. There were three injured players on the pitch and three blank week players on the bench. Maybe I'd be as lucky as you were.

this one is on me, have him as 3C
it all started as one can wish for, with a early goal in first match, and finished a lot worse

this will ruin my GW, but also chances to bounce from lower part of the table
nevertheless, will try to fight till the end, and hope that Haaland will stay goalless as well, so that Haaland holders don't get points and skip

This season is going on like a nightmare for Liverpool. Aside from the fantasy team you must be quite sad as a Liverpool fan as well. Is there any news about whether the injured players will get well until the Nott'm Forest match on March 2nd?

I want to buy Son by selling Jota. However Liverpool and Tottenham both have a blank week on gw26 which makes things quite difficult for me.

I'm 5 points behind the top players this week, so feeling overly confident about my FPL abilities this week, esp with 6 players yet to amass points (heh heh).

With all the injuries ongoing, it's a minefield that hasn't quite affected me yet (but I see it as repayment for many weeks with multiple long injuries).

This robot has a strange way of discrediting efforts; we know buwaytress had no idea how he got there, but you didn't have to make it so obvious. In FPL, the more differential points you score, the higher your chances of reaching the top.

Buwaytress knows I consider him a friend, and that was just that. A way to honor his incredible talent of picking poor fantasy options. That is also fine since he is kicking my ass often in other pools. Just like he just took AFCON money home.

You are on the other hand a perfect target for all kinds of jabs since we always get a reaction Grin

Hope we will catch a drink once as well. It is always nice to put a face to nickname.

When choosing players, I took into account the empty game week. Me and cryptofrka (as he said earlier) are not even in the top 5 and the gap from first place is about 90 points, and the inclusion of Salah and his appointment as captain was logical.

There are some rumors that Salah has renewed his hamstring injury and that he's doubtful for the Luton game.
If that happens, we don't get another captain for that game (I asked Trofo already), which means that we'll get destroyed - Haaland's got an easy game coming.

I based all on Salah vs Luton, used both my wildcard and my triple captain for that to happen. Nothing's going my way recently, in any of the competitions.

FPL should just make all new prospective transfers revocable at least until the current transfer deadline has elapsed Lips sealed

Speaking of Salah, I think this might this could be some cautionary motive, because he sprinted quite a lot (unplanned, I'd say!) on Saturday, and we all know how reoccurring hamstring troubles can be with that, meanwhile there is a partially more important fixture against Chelsea that he could be saved for, but I doubt he wouldn't be getting a some playing time vs Luton, only problem is that they're a quite physical team as well, which could all warrant the necessary cautions being taken so as to not aggravate the problem.

That being said, Haaland does have a whole lot of making up to do!!!

Getting Mo Salah right this game week doesn't seem logical to me, especially given the fact they have blank week for the next round [..]

When choosing players, I took into account the empty game week. Me and cryptofrka (as he said earlier) are not even in the top 5 and the gap from first place is about 90 points, and the inclusion of Salah and his appointment as captain was logical.

At first, I planned to attract Salah for -4 and make him a triple captain (by selling the injured TAA in favor of Bradley).

But the news that P'Porro will miss the match and the fact that Kelleher will replace Alisson during DGW forced me to activate the WC. Yes, I couldn't use my TC but I reformed my team by getting rid of very expensive defense (P'Porro, TAA, Ederson) and brought in Haaland, Salah, Toney. If I had not activated the wild card, I would have had to think about how to fit 5 players on the bench + goalkeeper.

Another plus is that I found a balance between the rotation of goalkeepers. Kelleher/Neto complement each other well, and even if Alisson returns, Bournemouth has a good enough schedule after the double game week that I won't have to think about replacing Kelleher.

Quote

I'm also prepared for an empty game week, and 2 free transfers will allow me to be more flexible.

Almost all the players have favorable matches, and on the bench are Salah, Kelleher, Bradley who will meet Nott'm Forest in a week. Doughty will of course wait for DGW since he has good attacking potential. So for me this is the most logical strategy to move forward in our league.
