If he doesn't have a special occasion you are absolutely right. However this situation can vary from person to person. For example as my grandmother and grandfather raised me their loss would affect me more than my parents'.

He'll surely pay his respect and all, but I don't think that will keep him away from the team, honestly knowing fully well that he barely just returned from injury and would need all the playing time he can get to be anywhere near being as match fit as possible and finding his incredible as well.

---------------------------------------------

I'm still tripping down on Liverpool even without Trent Arnold, My team would be fine even for Liverpool's blank week, because Liverpool fixture after the blank week still look pretty except for a fixture against Man City.
Haven’t been a big fan of TAA in the current season and he haven’t done much to impress me just yet. Don’t have a single Liverpool player on my team at the time but, with M. Salah being back, it’s tempting to grant him a transfer slot but, there isn’t much any guarantees that he would be starting or having just enough playing time in the fixtures for the DGW. Darwin still looks like a pleasing option but even him too is an off and on player with regards to form. He could miss a lot of goal opportunities from a good position and even catch the bar more times than normal but, he delivers at times. Hope these be one of those GW.

It’s not out of the ordinary what grannies could mean to a lot of persons. Those whose life were built around them and are used to taking their calls. It’s better he be out than have another emotionally imbalanced player on the pitch. You wouldn’t find the quality you seek from a mourning player.

Good thing you were joking about 100 BTC; if I lose, even my kidney/eye/liver etc wouldn't fetch more than 1 BTC at best market rates Wink

Lies! Coming from an early Bitcoiner, I'm sure your stash of BTC is 3 worth figures, if not 4  Cheesy

Lol. I just looked at the rankings, and it is possible to leapfrog you with some real luck and serious plans, but it will not work with Buwaytress, as we all know FPL is his weakest point.  How about you guys start a second chance league with the next GW? And place a more realistic side bet.

As I have used my first chance very well so far I don't need a second chance league yet. To be honest I don't want to make more side bets as I made a lot of them at the beginning of the season. My aim was only to joke around with buwaytress Cheesy

FPL is my weakest point is an understatement. I actually think even if I spent enough time on it, I wouldn't do well. I'm not that plugged into players and teams these days (I have always understood football as a whole, rather than an amalgation of players and that's not how football works I guess) and even if I invested more time, I probably don't grasp the finer aspects of the numbers game.

@buwaytress What do you say for a 10 btc side bet on who would finish this season ahead in FPL?

Now that's some big baller bets  Shocked

Sure he meant 10mbtc  Grin

No I'm offering 10 btc (My being ahead by 265 points doesn't have any affect on this Roll Eyes ).

Sorry if it comes out as insensitive - really don't mean it to. But why wouldn't he play if his grandma died?
A lot of players play even when they parents pass away, I don't think he'd skip a game because of it. I'd like him to though - would bring you guys a lot of problems.

For those unaware - TAA is unavailable for a prolonged period of time as well. Picking the 3rd LFC player for DGW will be a nightmare.

If TAA is sidelined, getting another Liverpool asset is wrong move and will cause problems for the following blank week.  I'm going to get Gabriel and do a double Arsenal defence for the upcoming games. I'm always unlucky with TAA; last season, the moment I got him, he was injured and sidelined for an extended period of time.

TAA's absence is absolutely a nightmare for me. I have been keeping him in my squad for a long time and he won't be able to play on the most important week. I don't think of making a new transfer in exchange for -4 points. Cry

Me so lucky/unlucky. Put Raya instead of Pickford, but Walker instead of Ake. Still ended up with 84, better than average, boom!

Needless to say, I'm sliding into my post mid-season carelessness with FPL. It's not that I don't care, I forget, and then when I do remember, am clueless.

Welcoming Robbo back to my team, replacing Konsa (yes, TAA alt, if not even Quansah). Too bad I wasted my TC card on Darwin a while back *cries*.

Oh you won't believe it, I am so pissed right now.

Few days after I brought Haaland (finally) in my squad, his grandma dies and now he is a major doubt for the upcoming DGW.

I had to rip apart my squad just to kick him out.

Literally peak FPL.... I guess deffo hold your TC's, and do not use them. Unless you fancy TCing an angry Salah of course.
Maybe he comes back just in time, pissed to the max and takes it out on the opponents?
Did not hear about this yet so will keep an eye on it trough the week.

Not a big deal for my team, other than throwing a spanner into playing TC chip.

But I'd be cautious about putting too much time into FPL, cause that tends to mess with 3-5 GW plans and the grand scheme of things.

Exactly, that why it's often almost like going from bad to worse 1-2 weeks after using wildcard despite it being the most valuable chip in FPL, and the earlier and longer you plan towards a game week that 4-5 weeks away, the worse your team becomes over that stretch, at least it has happen to me year in year out, but maybe some people are often luckier in cases like this.
You can offset that by following few simple rules:
Never WC before international window
Never WC before fixture swings

Still you can have bad luck but if you wc before stuff like that tiu are just asking for trouble.



Made 3 transfers this week, minus 8 points to start GW. Now I need some points  Grin

Kidding aside, taking hits for double GW players isn't as punishing as usual so some hits are well worth it in my opinion.

With such a team I think that I would go for bench boost too.
But unfortunately my current bench is ready to score two or three points Cheesy
Regarding mistakes don't think anyone can top me!
I went for Sterling instead of Palmer in GW17....

I actually wanted to keep my Triple (C) a little bit longer for tactical reasons but got scared after Haaland scored two goals out of nowhere.
Solanke for GW28 looks like a solid option too.

Eh, according to stats I have seen on FPL sites, I'm #1 in benched points in this league  Embarrassed Much of that was also because of the living zombie Sterling.

Too find differentials you need to think outside the box or take risk with certain players, and blank weeks and when a couple of premium players are injured or unavailable are often the best time chances to get them, but great differentials often last for only a week or two before they come a trend, e.g: If you look at Brighton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and West ham, they've all got some decent fixtures ahead of them, and you can easily find one or a few differentials from this team, but you need to be convince that the differential you're chasing isn't going backfire, especially if you taking them against players with owners with good form and fixtures ahead too.

Really appreciate your insights.
It was a good read.
One thing is for sure FPL requires more time than I initially thought but I can see why it's so popular.

That is if you didn't already use it many GWs ago Wink

I am thinking of bench boosting this juggernaut.



And yes, I took a lot of hits to get here, but this week the projected points from the incoming players cancels out (eg. Turner => Flekken, Areola => Raya, whatever Hwang gets => Foden and so on).

But hey I don't feel like I got a chance to break in the top 5 but you never know.

If Trent is confirmed out I won't replace him but I might even captain Bradley. I think he will become the next John Stones 27 pointer.

Some of my transfers went bust though.

Selling Foden was a mistake.
Buying Walker was a mistake.
Buying Hee Chan is also a mistake (for now)

If you need differentials, might as well stockpile them.

Fuck it, I'm gambling it all on Darwin Nunez. It should have been Salah, everything was set up for him to return and to be triple captain in double GW.
Now I need to pick a 3rd LFC player and there's nobody I like. Diaz hasn't really contributed, midfielders rarely score/assist and Trent is a cointoss.

I just hope that all City players that I have remain healthy - otherwise my whole plan was for nothing.
You said this just the way I’ve thought of it.
I don’t really fancy Darwin Nunez but at the moment, he seems like the best choice for a DGW from Liverpool. The rest are just unreliable, neither is Darwin Nunez but, it’s easy to expect him make out a goal or two within the DGW. If Salah was available, it would have been a much different story.
Diogo Jota might seem like another nice option but, I don’t place much hopes on him either.

We just might be rocking Darwin Nunez after all and have his price go up.

Foden started today's game, which raises the possibility that he may miss Chelsea's game this weekend and play Brentford midweek. I just hope KDB and Halaand are subbed off as soon as possible; I don't want them to be burnt out before DGW. What about Allison? Is he back?

I'm thinking about TC Diogo Jota for the DGW as this could be the shot I need to get a few steps ahead. There was little to no movement in the last round.

Thanks for that info now I feel better about my hits. I am taking -4 almost certainly and even thinking about -8. So you are still in the lead for now but I am looking forward to taking you off that spot as soon as possible.

You still have a very big advantage against me as I don't have any wildcard. Frankly finishing this season in 2nd place would be quite enough for me. However for this I might need to compete against players like som3aa,spack1997,Brahim012.

Why did you do that transfer early? City plays today, if Haaland gets injured you burned 8 points.

You are right however I bought Haaland early because of being afraid of his price to increase again. I was right about my fear about this topic as well. His price increased again after I bought him. I'm very regretful for not buying him at 13.9. 0.4 million is an amount which can make quite a difference while building a team.
