He has the high score for this gameweek. And yet his account is created just now with no previous gameweeks played. Should this not be forbidden?

Anyone can join at any time, which is a significant disadvantage for new players but not for us because he can only afford an average squad. And he's already used the TC chip to shoot himself in the head. Manager of the Week is only given to the highest ranked squad Without any chip (used for that GW)

That team will not last long, and he will surely quit up sooner or later.


That's it for his team right now, all his players have played and he's scored total of 69 points, + maximum of 3 extra bonus point to bring his final tally to a grand total of 72 points, there is no way that would be anything close to the highest score of the round, so you really can tell how much of a disadvantage a new team at this point would cost, he can't afford to the luxury of 3 premium players + couple of 5M+ starting defenders, Arsenal and Liverpool have the best fixtures on paper, but the fact the player could not go for players like Martinelli and Saka or Odegaard from Arsenal, or Salah, Darwin and or Jota, with even no Haaland on the team, had to settle for the likes of Nketiah, Eduoard and Wissa as his forward line, while Jordan Ayew also was a midfield option already speaks everything there is understand about the competitiveness of his team, except of cause if this specific game week isn't his target and he has some close game week ahead in mind with this team.
Those are just people that are doing bad on their main account and then they open new accounts and do stupid things just for fun and to see their name on the page at least for a day. Nothing to do with us, we can't stop them, they can't hurt our scores.... To be ignored

Now that Nketiah scored 3 goals I am sure he will be top transfer this week. I am also sure there is a person out there with him in the squad and captain band on him  Grin

I was absolutely going to be the leader now if I didn't put Mbeumo in the substitutes last week and didn't sell him this week as well. I never thought that he would score 1 goal and make 1 assist against Chelsea away. I was thinking of getting Palmer from Chelsea. However after this match I would never get even 1 Chelsea player into my team. Chelsea don't really play badly however they are a quite clumsy team about scoring goals. If Nkunku didn't get injured we would have absolutely been talking about different things.

Ange Postecoglou knew exactly what the game needed after Tottenham scored the first goal, and Brennan Johnson who he brought in for Richarlison was the player who created the assist for Son after a good tic-tac with Maddison to give them an assurance of victory.

yeah, and that assist was first assigned to Maddison
not sure if that will be changed in FPL as well, don't have Maddison in my team, so can't check if he has assist or not

Chelsea started their match, don't follow them too much, but they have some unusual line-up, 4-2-2-2 or something, result still goalless
no Gusto, so I hope that Brentford will eventually score one goal

Maddison got the point for the assist!!

Brendford scored on their first second-half chance. My darling Chelsea games are so scripted that whenever we dominate a game in the first half without scoring, we invariably lose in the second half. Today we're good, tomorrow we're a ass. So inconsistent

It's not forbidden, and I don't think it should be, I can assure that the player will not end up in the top 100,000 players come the end of the game week, the reason why it's not forbidden is because such players (with new account) at this stage cannot afford the best players due to their limited budget, and they'll have to gamble on just an entire team defense and another team's attack, and secondly such teams aren't eligible for FPL's weekly prize until they've played at is it 2 or 3 game weeks, I can't remember which one it is, barring the fact that using a chip (triple captain) already rules them out of team of the week consideration.

Why do I somehow feel silly for not owning Son?  Huh

Even though there's no way for me to afford him at this point without selling players I want to keep.

Richarlison made a lot of stupid blunders in the first half, he wasn't creating any space, he was having a poor game, and the second half substitutions transformed the game completely.

Richarlison have been nothing short of awful for the Tottenham, that's why he's not on almost all teams in the FPL regardless of who Tottenham are up against nor number of games they'd have, If he's playing any where near where a good striker should be in this Tottenham squad, he'd be in every FPL team.

I was forced to trade out Destiny Udogie for Konstantinos Tsimikas after learning of the former being injured, and Tsimikas looks like the best option right now with Andy Robertson ruled out for long while for Liverpool.

What did Maddison get the assist for tonight? Ward's own goal?

I still don't know half of the rules in Fantasy I guess.
Considering I have him in my team, I won't be complaining about this one tho Grin

Not only for FPL, but as a general rule, whenever a player crosses or shoots a ball that results in an own goal, the assist is given to the player who played the ball, so Maddison received the assist for that cross. Pedro clean sheet point was ruined by Ayew's late handball goal. Tottenham 3 assets returned for 18 points.

You have four unavailable players whose prices will likely decrease in the coming week, and the way your team is set up, you're going to take a -12 hit to solve some of your shit before it gets worse. You cannot expect a good point when playing 4-4-2 With Aston Villa, Arsenal, and West Ham defenders. You have your wildcard on hand to set up your team and send injured players out for free. In your circumstance, I would activate WC and reset my team.
I have taken this advice and all of a sudden I feel more optimistic about the coming GWs, starting from this weekend.

I already have Son on seven points from his performance backed by a goal in their game against Crystal Palace. Tottenham are playing very good football this season and I just wonder if they will be able to sustain this momentum and top the table to the end of the season. Ange Postecoglou has transformed the players, their mentality has improved very much. Micky Van de Ven is a great defender with good speed that has made him very good with recovery, Maddison is such good player for them with how very good he is with creating chances, Pape Matar Sarr will be sort after soon by top clubs  if he continues to develop and the Coach Ange Postecoglou has just been too good too with tactics.

I'd use a wildcard - I just don't know what changes to make. I do like my team now, I feel I might want to switch out a player or 2, but it seems logical to wait until GW 17/18 to make the necessary changes.

Keep in mind, longer you wait more price hits you will take on some assets.

This is the main issue with wildcards though - the cost of using one is often way too high.

And there is always this wild card curse most because you project your team for a potential 5-10 games weeks ahead, and just after the first or second game week things often goes south, and there some players that just pick irresistible form that you might need to change your team shape for, or an injury, at least that's often the case with me, my wild card are often a waste of chip, except when I'm chasing a blank week or towards a double fixture, it just never work for a long term plan for me.

_____________

Arsenal vs Sheffield United, what other fixture could be worth a triple Arsenal assets, bar the lack of fitness of a couple of them and Jesus Gabriel could miss out too, but one can't possible go awfully wrong with some Arsenal defense and Martinelli / Saka or Odegaard, while their next run of fixtures aren't so bad either.

As we enter the second chance league, you will receive another Wildcard, it happened last year not sure if it was because of World cup.
No free wild cards or second chance leagues this season. That was due to world cup break.

Everyone has 2 wildcards. First one can be used in GW1-18, second one GW19-36. You can choose when to use it but that is it. If you don't use your first wildcard before GW19, you will lose it.

If you still have your wildcard this is the week to use it in my opinion. Lot of fixture swings for clubs like Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, Aston Villa.... If not this week then in GW18 to help navigate blank GW and prepare your team for the second part of the season. Keep in mind, longer you wait more price hits you will take on some assets.

Was there any prize for the winner of the second chance league last season? Nope?

I like my present setup and doubt I'd use my WC unless something unforeseen happened; my only duty is to read games and build up the best lineup for each one. I have the guys I've always wanted in my team, and they're all available for selection, as well as first-team players.

My only issue is Gusto's game time now that James is back to full fitness, and there is currently no good replacement for £4.1m.

I think that I have collected quite good amount of points this week. However I haven't been able to collect the points I wanted from my Darwin and Højlund preferences on forwards yet. I'm very happy to be in top 10 still when I think about my first season performance. I hope that I can manage to finish the fantasy league in a position that is enough to win a prize at the end of the season.
I was in top 10 at some point in the season, then moved to top 20, but now in top 30. I have had a series of bad weeks and I am trying to learn as fast as I can since it is my first season playing. I hope for better weeks because right now I have many players injured and not performing well at all, I cannot replace them all because in addition to the free transfers, I will loose more points to replace them.

I will do my best to see the changes I can make, so as to change the direction of my movement in the ranking table from bottom to top.

Don't be afraid to take some hits in order to get rid of injured or blanking players. For example, I took a hit to buy Salah two gameweeks ago, and look how that turned out.

Last week I didn't need to take a hit though (Estupinan => Trippier)

Now I took another hit to get Watkins (among other players), so I'd be damned if I don't get a similar result this week.

The key is that the player(s) you transfer must give returns, otherwise the points gamble fails.
