I had to choose between Isak and Nunez, I had to go with Nunez. I hope he doesn't just give me shots on targets.

By the end of this GW, I want to see myself in top 20 and heading up. Smiley

Not only Nunez but it all depends on your differential picks as well.

Kelleher is our second choice, Adrian will basically never play in the league this season and his contract expires at the end of it anyway. We are naming U21 goalkeepers on the bench ahead of him, and I haven't even seen him himself on the bench for most of the campaign. It's almost like Loris Karius's fate (although I must say that Adrian did not play particularly bad).

Needed an immediate fix for Areola, and Kelleher appears to be the best and cheapest choice right now, with a nice run of games. Allison is unlikely to return until January.

I finally used the WC! It had been a long time coming. A strong midfield and a three-man attack on the clock.

Does anyone know what is the deal with Watkins?

I feel as though he is going to start and it's nothing serious, but perhaps it's just illness or a knock?

Nothing serious with Watkins but Nunez sounds like a better deal with easy fixtures honestly.

Who's Liverpool second choice GK? Kelleher or Andrian ?

After James' suspension I want to add him to my squad. I'm aware that this is a big risk. However I want to relieve my budget by signing a this effective defensive player in offense for only 5.4 million euros.

5.4m can get you Zichenko, Porro, Gabriel, Dalot, I think Saliba, and even Walker. There's no reason to sign a suspended or injured player. So it's probably best to wait until GW16 to sign him. But meanwhile, you can still use the money on another defender.

No one ever knows especially If they're getting to find out via FPL website, it's often just a fluke and players usually plays in most case scenario whenever there is "75% chance of playing" tag on the player, but in the case of 50%, according to FPL site it's a muscle injury and has 50% chance of playing, I believe this is something a bit more than usual and Watkins just might not play, even though it's not a serious one and only misses this GW.

I know that this is probably one of my worst seasons so far ever since started playing fantasy football, definitely due to my persistent stubbornness this season about some players, but my concern is on the future of this Fantasy league in general. [banned mixer] is one of the major sponsors, and we all know that the forum administration decided to ban mixers after 1st Jan 2024.
Will the competition continue as planned?
Will the winners get the rewards as projected, or there will be some changes since the partnership will just go half way?

I'm indecisive about transferring Palmer in Bruno Fernandes' place tomorrow who is in my squad. Chelsea are going to play against Brighton home tomorrow. When it comes to Manchester United they are going to play against Newcastle away. 5.3 million euros is a very good opportunity to transfer Palmer.

Right then, oranges and reds all over my team, cost me any good chance last GW but I shipped out a suspended (James) rather than injured, think I'm happy to take risks benching those or counting on them playing.

When we think about Onana's performance in both Galatasaray matches in the Champions League as well I still can't believe that he collected 18 points. When we think that the Turkish national goalkeeper Altay who was transferred this season hasn't played in even 1 official match yet too maybe Manchester United might need to think of transferring a goalkeeper in January.

Onana made a lot of mistakes in other games, but the second goalkeeper did not get a single chance to prove himself. I think the point is not that he is bad, but that Ten Hag will never admit that he made a mistake with Onana’s transfer.
Ten Hag's focus on himself infuriates me, he literally puts himself above the club, but for some reason in his case they allow him to do this (for now).

I managed to collect 58 points this week with Hwang Hee-chan's scoring a goal tonight. Even though 58 points isn't very high I assume that I still managed to become the person who collected the most points in our league this week.Still I think that I'm quite unlucky this week. I chose Son as the captain but all of his 3 goals in the Aston Villa match were disallowed due to offside. It was painful for me to watch.

By the way I would like to correct a mistake here.  Grin  I thought that I was the one who collected the most points for the week. However I have realized that boltz was more successful than me about this topic. I would like to congratulate him for being the winner of this week.  Smiley
I will double check that tonight and proclaim the winner officially. No hurry since we have to wait until Monday for free bet to be paid anyway.
Forgot about this didn't I? No matter it will be paid on next Monday either way. So to make it official GW13 winner is boltz with 66 points. Congratulations, Onana and Joao Pedro were instrumental for this result. Had no idea Onana managed to collect 18 points in that game.

From what I've gathered so far, goalkeepers are mostly irrelevant.
It seems like a bad choice to go for expensive ones, just look at Areola - he's a part of a horrible WH defence and is still just 13 points behind Alisson who's in top spot, for 1.3 mil less.

I might even ditch Raya - 4.8 for a GK is also kinda expensive. I'd rather take Areola and use that 0.5 mil for a better midfielder/backup striker.

I finally got rid of Botman with my free transfer for this gw. Net negative effect and returns for Botman on my team. Got Trippier once again — hopefully he gets to cook as we approach midway to the season.
I did the same, I wanted to keep him but there were too many players sitting out on my squad and I think i'm missing out on some points if I don't make a change anytime soon.

I replaced him with Zinchenko as I still have a bit of extra left we'll see if it's worth the investment.

Very bad to have teams on Europa League or Conference, because they play in thursday and with that it can be surely a one day less to recover in some cases. And also because you dont know in teams like Liverpool if they are gonna put starters or subs in the games until they play.

At this point, Areola and Westham's defence cannot be trusted.
You are changing your opinion way to fast for this game. Just a week ago you were talking about bringing in Zouma Smiley

Raya is the first keeper for Arsenal and to my knowledge he played all the games after he took that position except for the last one, against Brentford, where he couldn't play because of the clause in his loan contract.

"At this point" means new opinion bro  Grin

I was wrong about Westham's defence, and you were right all along. That lost me my rank, and I'm learning the hard way not to trust too much

So it's safer to do Areola to Raya?

Raya is my first choice keeper since I got him some weeks ago. I replaced him with Areola due to the reasons you mentioned for the last gw and while Areola can make saves, West ham's overall defence is too porous. He'll be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. Since taking top spot from Ramsdale, Arsenal have conceded fewer goals across the board.

To think Onana was hyped to be the #1 keeper this season  Tongue

Only problem is that he takes LFC spot.

That's my major concern, After that, all he'd be able get from Liverpool is to likely go for Salah alone. Meanwhile to get another, it will cost two transfers, one to get a Liverpool keeper out for another club's, while the other to bring in another Liverpool outfield player.

Best case scenario would be to forfeit Allison in total for now, and get Kelleher as his first choice then another alternative goalkeeper he'd rather have from any other club.

What is the present state of things at Arsenal? Arteta appears to be rotating abit between Raya and Aaron Ramsdale, making it tough for me to have either. I was hoping to have a double Arsenal defence for the upcoming games. At this point, Areola and Westham's defence cannot be trusted.

Onana is the Keeper with the most clean sheets, and I've rested him on each of those clean sheet days.
