Alvarez owners- KDB is back, time to sell.

I don't think I'll be considering having KDB anytime soon, he's been out for quite a while and Guardiola will be very cautious with his playing minutes for the time being, and having KDB without Haaland in my team would seem like an invalid formation, because I'd expect Haaland to be back to his best form with KDB at the helm of the supply line, it's just going to take a while before their duo would work it out perfectly again in my opinion.

Haaland's back for GW19 (although still a doubt), finally getting rid of Nunez. One of the worst moves I've made all season, and in retrospective I'd do the same again. I can't believe how bad he was in the last few league games.

I managed to keep Watkins as well - Tsimikas was the victim but Robertson will be back soon anyway. I really like how my team looks now, but it will have to be torn apart in a few weeks again.

Man, everyone who picked him last season said the same thing: he was the reason why Buwatress almost finished last; he left the captaincy on the dude for much too long, expecting he would turn things around, but he never did. He committed the same mistake earlier into the season. Do buwaytresses ever learn?

I had no idea there was a game today, so I'm glad I was able to set up my team for the week ahead of my regular Friday transfers..

PS. Solanke points have been officially voided, and now that donkey Isak replaces him with a 0 pointer from the bench Angry

A crazy harsh decision if those managers who use chips on him aren't getting those back, the FPL has some weird unacceptable rules.

The FA's decision to replay the match from the beginning was yet another example of mismanagement and corrupt practice; the same thing happened in the match Granada - A. Bilbeo in HT when someone in the stands suffered a heart attack and the match was abandoned and resumed the next day with the same scoreline, for what reason was the match cancelled when the player was already responding to treatment?

I chose Watkins as my captain for this game week. I think that he has a potential to score more than 1 goal against Sheffield United. If I didn't choose Watkins my choice would have been Son. Roll Eyes

But this is something out of our hands, only important thing is that Tom Lockyer is ok as much as he can be, this is just the game in the end and shouldn't be taken that seriously.

You are absolutely right. Health comes before everything. I'm really very happy that Tom is okay. I hope that he recovers as soon as possible.

I should have kicked Trippier out by now, but I still have Trippier in my team, and will keep him this week against Luton before I even consider subbing him out for another better option. I expect him to redeem himself from the mistakes against Chelsea and deliver good points for me against Luton who cannot be compared to them. It should also be a clean sheet for Martin Dubravka.

I am keeping him until the end of the season. Now that I got Porro, soon I will have triple Trent - Porro - Trippier defense.

Darwin Nunez against Arsenal, Who thinks he is going to blank?

He might blank, but I don't fancy a clean sheet for anyone here. After all, we got the second-best defense in the league.

Darwin Nunez against Arsenal, Who thinks he is going to blank?

Newcastle's next two games is against Luton Town (away) and Nottingham Forest (home) respectively — until then, I'm good with Trippier. I know he'd want to redeem himself for his shortcomings in recent games. As for Darwin, there's a good chance that he might blank because Arsenal has the best defense in the EPL this season with 7 clean sheets so far and Nunez is not the kind of player that gets 3 shots in and can manage to score at least 2. As a matter of fact, there's a chance that he might even lose all 3 chances to due his ill-luck.

Just to add, Nunez did hit the woodwork today against West ham. It was an EFL game - just thought to mention it because he might end up blanking.

I am not sure he even plays, he played a lot of minutes today but so did Gakpo. Tsimikas also played a lot of minutes and I am a bit worried about him as well. Need to get rid of either him or Lascelles and can't decide who to ditch. Lascelles has better fixture but bigger chance of loosing first team place sooner.

He'll play. Jota's still out, Gakpo had a decent game today but I expect Nunez to be given the advantage.
Tsimikas was subbed, meaning he'll probably start ahead of Gomez. Still, I'll sit him on the bench - Arsenal isn't the game where I feel he'll excel.

As the AFC Bournemouth-Luton Town FC match has been decided to be played again at the end of the season FPL board have decided to remove the points of the players who played in the match. This means a 4 points loss for me. I don't think it is fair that the points are taken back after the day ends. But there is nothing that could be done about it.

Yeah, luckily it was 1-1 at the time and not 3-0 so neither team will feel bad about the decision. Imagine being 2-0 up and having to replay it all over again, starting from scratch.

As you have Tsimikas on your bench you were going to win 1 more point if you transferred Solanke. If only you transferred Solanke. I don't agree with you that the decision was right.

I had good bench with Gordon and Lascelles 6 pointers waiting so it could have been worse. My problem is I went -4 and removed Haaland just to target Luton game for Solanke. Would have never done that if I knew that the game will not be played. But this is something out of our hands, only important thing is that Tom Lockyer is ok as much as he can be, this is just the game in the end and shouldn't be taken that seriously.

Points after being awarded can not be tempered with according to the rules. Why are they doing the entire opposite now.

I definitely have the same idea with you. I'm sharing the tweet related to the decision made last year:

I was thinking about buying Solanke instead of Jackson but I got off lightly. If I lost points for transfer and had a situation like this I would have really got very sad. But I think it was the right decision to be made. Because the match has been completely cancelled. There wasn't any need to wait this long to make this decision.

It seems Mitoma hasn't scored in 11 weeks... I decided to place a big bet on the goal on his behalf.

I hope this happens... in any case I will double the bet until he scores a goal. So we'll see where I end up in a couple of weeks.

Mitoma is a must-sell at this point, he's been rotated too many times this season, he's been managed to stay fit for his first Asian cup participation coming up..

This is Mitoma finally week in my team.

Freaking shitty decision by FPL Sad

I'm getting a 1 pointer Mitoma for Solanke, who definitely is bound for some extra points as well too, and I literally took a 4 extra points hit to bring in Solanke for the game week, all transfer concerning the players for either sides should have been reversed too, what is the essence or fairness for getting a double disadvantage just for bringing in a player, huh ?!

I'm beginning to have some doubts about Trippier. He was suspended for gw17 but prior to that, he performed very poorly against Tottenham's attack some weeks back and today, he was the reason why Chelsea won the tie and moved to the EFL semi finals.

Maybe he's just been unlucky and can turn things around against Luton town. I will sell him off after gw19 because when they go up against Liverpool, Mancity and Aston Villa in gameweeks 20 - 22.

Has anyone measured Saka's average points this season? Is he truly essential, or is it all smoke and mirrors?

I did, he has 97 points so far and the total is currently 17 GW so thats around 5.7 points per GW. He missed out on GW8 so that would put him on 16 GW played so far and an average of 6 points per GW. I got him on my team since December and so far he has gotten 18 points out of 4 GW. Well depending on the fixtures, I guess he could have gotten way more points

Since it has been announced that the Bournemouth vs Luton Town will be replayed in its entirety and not finishing the last 30 mins, I believe the fair solution regarding the fpl points would be to remove all points gained in GW17 by players from BOUvsLUT, then not closing the scoring for GW17 until the match is replayed, once the match is completed then those points earned by players should be added to GW17, therefor the rematch fantasy points should not be counted during the double GW when it will be played.
I hope i am making sense.

Not gonna happen probably. If they wanted to do it that way we would not have blank and double game weeks.

There isn't a fair solution that will make everyone happy. Whatever they decide somebody will end up pissed about it. In the end it is just a game and few points shouldn't be that important. I am hating even the fact that GW is open. In the past GW would always end on time and no changes were possible afterwards. I lost many points do to that rule, when PL awarded goals to players after the match but FPL already locked the game.

I think that they are trying to make a decision that won't offend the players against the game as so many players transferred Solanke instead of Haaland. This week it won't be fair to give 0 point to the player who spent -4 points to transfer Solanke due to Haaland's injury. I think the best solution is to leave Solanke at 6 points and close the week.
