Thanks for your response man. Although I was asking in the context of the weekly prize if the negative points deduction gets factored in but it doesn't matter anymore now that Bowen has handed @SmartVirus (congrats, btw Wink) the boost he needed to get weekly prize thanks to that hattrick.
It is the same for weekly prize. Quoted from OP

GW winner is a person with most points in that round. Chips count and your minus points from transfers are substracted from total. As per official rules.



Bowen stole the show yesterday, really did not expect West H to win that easy.

I'm very sad to drop down to 4th place because of collecting very few points on the last two gw. Transferring KDB early cost me very much.
Some place I would rather wish to be, lol…

I already felt I had made a bad bad mistake with Watkins. Couldn’t stop beating myself after the Manchester City game where E. Haaland couldn’t get a goal. I literally had to do a H2H check on Manchester City games and Bournemouth to see what past fixtures had been like and it was filled with goals. This prompt me to switch my captaincy choice from Watkins to Haaland and he could score a single goal. Felt really bad but,

Jarrod Bowen did me good this time, a hat trick to push me to the top, that’s more than I would have hoped for. Need to break the top 10 once more.

QQ for Trofo: If someone makes transfers with points, does it count towards weekly prize for that GW?

Yeah, points hits get deducted from your points for that specific game week not your already accrued total points.

If there's ever a good time to get breach the gap with differential, tonight was the night with Bowen as his ownership % dried up after a run of tiny returns.


This week, I'm planning to drop some of my City players. Last week, I had one of the lowest returns from City assets and I think it's time to diversify.

Man, I was a hair's length from restoring Bowen into my squad, but opted to save 2 points -- then he goes and does a brace within 8 minutes. Then again, it's not like I'm chasing down any other spots, so not sure why I feel bad about it.

Edit: Hattrick. Takes FPL flail and self-flagellates...

I'm keeping KdB though, spent enough to bring him on, and I know he's not 100% but he doesn't really need to be. Bonus? If City and him keep stumbling, I win elsewhere. How's that for a hedge, universe?

Besides Walker also started to be benched despite playing for 90 minutes in every match until I transferred him. This was also a bad surprise for me.

One of the worst weeks to move early, even if it means loosing on price. I am not even gonna look at my team before Thursday to avoid temptation.

I totally agree!

I'm not making any early move, except on someone I sure know doesn't have a blank week 29, and I'm still not moving on him yet either way, I'll probably be playing week 29 with around 5-7 players only, hopefully it will be an heavy blank with just a very few teams playing.

City has a rough run of games coming up, and now with all of them available it will be a cointoss who will play.
Makes sense, Next 5 set of EPL games for MCI will be tough for them.

Home game against Manchester United - Manchester United can put up a fight, Away game to Liverpool, Away game to Brighton -
Home game to Arsenal - If KDB is still fit, he will start in this game because Arsenal is one of his favorite teams to bully, then a Home game to Aston Villa.

but Foden is the last player I'd replace from that list if I were, going by his current form and I don't think he has the most ownership of the 3 mentioned players, if you are speaking of differential, but I could be wrong about the ownership numbersas I didn't check, and it was all just a guess.
Foden is the most consistent performer for Manchester City this season, If there is any player asides Rodri who will be chosen by Pep for all the games, it will be the number 47 Foden. Pep will not want to risk KDB to another injury.

Why the early transfers guys? Most teams have FA cup fixture on Tuesday or Wednesday. After those we will know who will blank in GW29 and who will double in 34. If that is not enough some injuries are bound to happen as well.

Went -4 points again, replaced both Foden and KDB. City has a rough run of games coming up, and now with all of them available it will be a cointoss who will play.

Going the same route, but Foden is the last player I'd replace from that list if I were, going by his current form and I don't think he has the most ownership of the 3 mentioned players, if you are speaking of differential, but I could be wrong about the ownership numbersas I didn't check, and it was all just a guess.

Next transfer I'm gonna replace Alvarez as well, I'm going with 0 City players in the next 5 games.

I'm doing some illogical moves, but that's the only way to try and catch some differentials at this point. 8th or 35th - it's all the same.

I was hoping for that Arsenal cleansheet yesterday. I don't know why they had to lose focus for a bit and concede that 1 goal especially when I was this close to getting top points in a GW only to watch them concede that goal.

In other news, After 3 good GW, I've finally broken back to top 20. The last time I was on top 20 was in GW2. Feels really good.

hope to see at least clean sheet from Arsenal, to provide a bit for my FPL team
Arsenal were close to a perfect win, a clean sheet, but just had to concede, I am sure the defenders lost concentration briefly.
Yeah, ruined my hopes as well. Had both Raya and Gabriel.

This was bad week for most as expected. Still one game tomorrow to be played so maybe some Toney owners still get mega hauls. If it must happen, hopefully his goals will come off Regulion assists  Grin

Liverpool's injury list is growing, and concerns rising too. Klopp and Liverpool were lucky to still win the game against clown Chelsh*t with some unknown players who most us have never heard of. If their problems continue like this, the injuries I mean, they could loose their position on the top of the table to teams like Manchester City and Arsenal who are hunting behind.

Captaining Watkins will give me ~10 points differential against most of you that went with Haaland and that should compensate a bit.
I did the same with Watkins and it feels great to climb a few spots after continuously going down the ranks these past few rounds.

I was also forced to use my free hit because of the postponed match between Chelsea and Spurs, but I failed to take advantage of it, as I only gained a few points.

I just should have trusted my instinct, that's 18 points + 2 bonus points for Richards and 15 more for Douglas Luiz whom I left on the bench Sad
Andersen and Johnstone as well for a combined 30 points, that's a ton of bench points to miss out on.  Lips sealed

last minute goal by Brighton diminished my returns on FPL, but also took 2 points from Everton
had also exact score in Superbru on 0:1
it is a good thing that I don't bet on Everton, since I was pretty sure we are going to win this one with clean sheet today

Considering that Estupinan, KDB and Alvarez did not start and ended up with 2 points combined, I actually have a decent return.

This is the worst team I'll ever put (nobody on the bench), next GW should already be a lot better.

It really doesn't get better, does it, I have Douglas Luiz on the bench for Pascal Gross, after spending multiple hours, I still left him on the bench, I knew Alvarez or Foden wouldn't start the game, I just don't know which of them, now I can only hope Alvarez doesn't get any minute off the bench to get Douglas Luiz as my auto substituted player.

I was going to go all in on Crystal Palace defence  to keep a clean sheet against Burnley, so I had 3 defenders from them, but I switched at the very last minute before the deadline and go all Arsenal at the back

I just should have trusted my instinct, that's 18 points + 2 bonus points for Richards and 15 more for Douglas Luiz whom I left on the bench Sad

Arsenal had better come up with a plan to render Newcastle harmless, or my game week will be in complete jeopardy.

Hojlund, being the most transferred in player for the GW is now out for at least 3 weeks, damn!
I will never get why people make some transfers. This week among top 4 transferred in players Hojlund and Salah. Both will not play a single minute this week, and while it is new injury to Hojlund we know that Salah does not have a fixture for about two weeks.
I guess these people make their teams based on the most recent game played, which is not a bad approach tbh but unfortunately for this GW they are guaranteed to blank for not being in the know Tongue
Other reason is they don't follow football news to get ahead of the competition as required...



First goal of the EPL weekend, mahn this Watkins guy is some pure talent , unfortunately no room for him in my team with the likes of Halaad out there to get some big goals Cool

Why is Estupinan not playing? He's benched again today.
I kinda expected that because he was a late substitute in their last game but don't quite understand it.

This round will be extremely painful, I'm playing with 9 players.
