Thanks Brighton for ruining my parade with Spurs. I keep wanting to believe Ange's got things right. Then Brighton and Milner smack my Porro down to 1 point. Hope we get our "revenge". I should be happy this week with 50+ points. But relying on Saka captaincy luck for that just doesn't feel sustainable. Can't keep playing this roulette.

Konsa getting injured in the game also ruined my week slightly, though. I thought he should bank 6 or 7 points easily on this shit United side. Guess this is why we bank free transfers though. [...]
I'm in the same boat.. First clean sheet for Aston Villa as Konsa goes off on 12 minutes.  Grin

Just as long as he's not injured for next GW. I really wanted to keep my transfers safe =)

Only one laughing is goodpunt for his faith in Everton -- and here I am stuck with DCL haha.

Never thought that Pickford and the back line of Everton would be able to keep a clean sheet without Branthwaite so a nice surprise here.
Gordon, the Newcastle kicker, is someone Pickford knows a great deal about, which helped him make that save. Had it been Isak, I doubt he would have saved. I am very sure that you did not expect to win by points gathered from Pickford in this fixture. I guess this is how luck works: you get points from players that you least expect.

Big hopes again that selections do not get injured from representing their countries in the international break.

Time to pronounce GW 7 winner - goodpunt - he currently has 76 points which is 23 more than second place ans should be more than enough to keep first place even if bonus points get recalculated. But just in case it will become official tomorrow. Pickford won this one for you.
Thanks for the notification Trofo.

I'm worried cause we're already approaching the first half of the season and it's always nearly impossible to be break a 50 points gap. I'm 34 points from Top 8 already,
Are you sure you are still going to be able to catch up? this one seems to be drifting away already.


Gabriel, Semenyo and Halaand got me the least points this week...
City's next opponent is Wolves, Haaland still looks like a good captain pick considering Wolves are having a bad start to this Premier league campaign. Liverpool play Chelsea next too, I am thinking that I cannot trust Liverpool assets to keep a clean sheet knowing how good Chelsea's attacking press is.
Gabriel for me will carry that attacking threat all through the season. For Semenyo, next game is against Arsenal, low points expected from him.

One assist and yellow card for Palmer is something I can live with. Good call to skip for the time being while fixtures are though.

Benching points is something that gets all of us. This week I benched Wood for Rogers. Just something that happens and sometimes those benched points even come handy with auto sub.

Gabriel, Semenyo and Halaand got me the least points this week, not too bad as I expected, little green arrow and no injuries. (Net positive)

The points sort of balance out over a period of 5 GWs so you shouldn't worry much about that.

Back to back blank for Halaand. Lol he's close to ruining all the points he gave me earlier on. I know he's not the same person without KDB and yet I keep ignoring all facts.

Sold Saka - 2 assists 1 goal

Sold Jackson - Hattrick incoming....Huh

Story of my life ......

Oh man, Chris Wood scoring. I wasn't expecting it, only put him in my squad to replace the injured Pedro, I know he's been returning goals before but it's typical for a promoted team to get such a start, so him actually turning up today is really pleasing for me.

Konsa getting injured in the game also ruined my week slightly, though. I thought he should bank 6 or 7 points easily on this shit United side. Guess this is why we bank free transfers though.

Who bought Cole Palmer, own up. Me sticking with me team for now. Only switching for injuries and suspensions for a while. I think, anyway. I think too little for FPL, apparently.

Planned to, instead of Salah. Didn't, will bite me in the ass.
This moving places shit is killing me, can't wait to finally sit down in peace and do this properly. I'm far behind but I will catch up when I finally commit to it.

Arsenal conceding probably hurt a lot of people, Saka finally getting big points. Let's see what Solanke does.

I only didn't because of a budget problem, but when I actually had enough cash in the bank, I opted for Saka instead (my go-to midfield who's not from Liverpool). He didn't pay me back immediately but yesterday's captaincy was very well rewarded.

You're not nearly as far behind as it appears. I felt far ahead after GW3 and then it only took as many GWs to bring me back down to earth where I belong heh heh.

Do you know why is Haaland doing like shit?

Yes, is because i put him in my team, since i put him he doesnt do anything anymore.



I can have a much better round, but it seems like Slot wants to save Luis Diaz and he only play 10 minutes , Robertson the same. Konza got subbed at the 12 minutes. Walker only 28 minute played..... cant play in this way coaches.

My only significant bench points for this week would be Michael Keane, who had six, 4 more than hugely owned Gabriel, but who could have saw that coming ?

Luckily I still have Wood to make up for some of my blanks, I don’t think I’ll be rid of him anytime soon, I’ve got a more pressing issue with other mid and premium like TAA, Salah, Eze, and Jackson ahead of some tough fixtures coming

Nottingham Forest defense held in the first half; Jackson was completely absent in the first half, the Chelsea player with the most impact in the game still remains Cole Palmer, who came close to scoring.

I have been disappointed with Aston Villa. Rogers got a chance to score, a 1v1 against Evans, he blew his shot wide. I kept him on the bench last week and he scored. This week I decided to play him and he is shooting blanks Huh

What a day in the EPL, billions of goals being scored, but most them would not matter much as far as the FPL is concerned, at least for teams that aren't controlled by freaks or some day 1 drafts with no subs.

23 total goals scored across 5 fixtures, but my captain blanks  Sad
5 goals from Brentford and no one managed a brace or even a hat trick.

The absence of KDB and Rodri seems to be telling on Haaland, given that his that one finisher and these days, a defensive line is been built around him such that, his strength isn’t so overwhelming no more to give him that chance at goal and his gradual decline is eminent as we see it.
I’ll like to think that he would soon have his eyes on goal but in the mean time, he does me dirty once more and a good waste of my captaincy. There was no better options and that’s for sure.

Your captain is almost everyone's captain. With Haaland in every GW, almost everyone chooses him as either captain or the Vice.

In top 10 currently, I think It is only Hhampuz who did not captain or vice-captain Haaland because he doesn't have him.

Pickford with a penalty save! Gordon misses!

My main itch was switching the captaincy back to Salah from Haaland... but then I thought, hey Saka's my new player. Acrually one of my favourites. Why don't I captain him instead? And then he gets all the good moves, involved in every goal.
Saka outplayed Salah and Haaland, he should have been my captain and Mbeumo vice.

Horrible week for everyone.. I had a quick look at all the teams and it seems 30 points is not such a bad result.  Smiley
I am still ok with it but again could have been so much more. I was 50:50 between giving captain band to Haaland or Saka and of course I chose wrong. Also this is my second week with double Arsenal defense and again they concede in easy fixture. I guess I need to wait for those though games to get points on them.



I sold TAA and brought in Konate instead, Quansah is all but confirmed to not be that guy this season.
That is actually a very good move. was considering it as well. Saves a lot of money and still covers clean sheets from Liverpool. Works perfectly until Trent starts delivering on attacking returns but so far he hasn't been producing on that account. Or more accurately his team mates keep ruining his assists. Today he had a sitter for Jota.

No transfers for me this GW; I want to see how my team from last week will do this GW Smiley

Banking the transfer might be the best option for me as well after all, there is an international break coming and having two transfers might coming handy incase of any usual international break surprises.

I'll just be livid if Saka gets a haul and Salah does go blank  Huh

Oops Wink

But yeah I ended up banking my transfer too, after using everything up to zero effect last GW. My main itch was switching the captaincy back to Salah from Haaland... but then I thought, hey Saka's my new player. Acrually one of my favourites. Why don't I captain him instead? And then he gets all the good moves, involved in every goal. Shame about the clean sheet though, or he would have matched Haaland's haul of 17 points.

This definitely wipes out the 11-point captaincy mistake of GW4 I made, so very happy.
