Whaat, my shitty outfit of misfits still getting above average points and Madisson still yet to play? City costing me precious points though, can't believe I didn't realise Ederson wouldn't play but at least my Raya bench gives me 2 points (haha).

I prefer Spurs losing big so all you guys get negatives though Wink

Watkins still value but Wilson, wow, stuck in my squad and still taking home smallish pieces of bacon..!

But it's incredibly challenging to persuade someone who thinks Nunez is superior to Halaand.

He's not, FPL wise. I'm a gambler is all =D

Not praising him I'm just saying I'd rather have his trash than take a -4 hit to bring in another useless GK. When Martinez and the rest of the team are fully recovered, I believe Onana will flourish.

We have a similar setup, but your bench isn't looking well, and you've already taken WC?

Yes, I used wild card a couple of weeks ago, just two after I had to take more than a significant double digits points hit, but I'm actually not owrried about my bench I have two free transfers at the moment I'll be using only just one, my starting xi is as perfect as I would want, so I only need one more slightly above mid player, and my bench as solely full of defenders so I barely bothered, I however will be using just one Free transfer this week just so it doesn't go to waste.

Took your WC too early and your team isn't far from what I have and I've only taken -8 I guess and 2FT still available at the moment.

Botman is out for 2-3 weeks you may want to consider selling him off for the time being.

I felt better until kickoff  Grin - The bottom line is that no GK is worth buying or shipping out at -4. I currently have two of the finest options in Areola and Onana, and I plan to keep both until the end of the season.

 68 points with three Tottenham assets left to play (Pedro Porro, Son, and Maddison). I could get my first 100 points of the season if both Son and Maddison haul and Tottenham keeps a clean sheet.

Onana getting 3 points against rock bottom Sheffield United isn't worthy of any praise If you ask me, but an extra 2 points is very valuable if you didn't have to take a -4 points hit.

It's obviously my best round so far too, why having Son, Maddison, and Destiny Udogie yet to play and I've been able to accumulate 71 points already.

How do you feel now about Areola being a better choice? It isn't over until they both play and now when they did Onana has 3x the points of Areola. Not a big difference since both were poor but I am happy with my call to bench all defenders from Villa - West Ham game, was a bit afraid about Cash must admit.

I told you Areola would always be a better choice. Onana and the shaky Manutd defence are incapable of keeping a clean sheet. At this point, Onana is a liability to my squad.  Now I'm going to play BTS on Aston Villa vs. West Ham tomorrow so that if I lose a clean sheet in FPL, I can stroll into the bank and cash out my profits.
The game currently has the look that both teams will really score, but Aston Villa look more dangerous to score with Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz who have both tried Areola with Douglas Luiz finding the breakthrough.

Douglas Luiz is back with another masterclass today! Every time I considered removing him from my squad, he made me look like a fool, and now I'm about to get another price riser on him. Watkins has been prime Messi since I left him off.

Look at this monster squad I have for next week (no chips). I managed to afford all these new guys.



My plan was to take a -4 hit to get Watkins and Palmer - and offload some liabilities in the process - but I was a few hundred grand short, which annoyed me. So that lead to me buying Tsimikas and I have literally no more money left in the bank Grin but at least my midfield and attack are ferocious.

I was going to wait until tomorrow to buy but Watkins is +99 to go up by then and I would've been priced out which would not be very nice! So hopefully that's the last hit I take in a while and Botman comes back soon. Edit: It's strange, because before the game he was only at +84

I still can't decide whether to captain Haaland, Salah or Watkins next week  Huh

I basically wrote off all goalkeepers points for this gameweek. The ones that people choose at least; Areola, Leno, Johnstone, Turner, ...

Some days are just rainy in that position so I don't give it much worry.

I've had him since the start of the season and he hasn't been entirely horrible, and I must say it was the most difficult decision I've made, and it could be the worst if he keeps Sheffield United quiet and Areola fails to. I know Westham could hold Aston Villa to a solitary goal, but I don't think the current Manutd defence is strong enough to keep a clean sheet; Manutd is dealing with a slew of injuries at the back.
United is terrible this season, but if they will so something it will come today against worst team in the league. That being said, now that all favorites won comfortably I am thinking United must loose tonight to give something back to the bookies.

How did we bottled a 2-nill in a London derby!!! Gush my head is hurting. This is on Poch.
He bottled the game, he still has a lot to learn even with the vast experience that he has. As a coach, when everything is going right, you do not need to always change the players in the team.

But it was Jackson who came on for Mudryk, and it was another mistake by Poch. Mudryk was having a good game and forcing the Arsenal midfield to drop deep with his dangerous runs. There was no cause to take out Mudryk, Palmer, and Sterling in the same game. Lol
Exactly! I am thankful for his mistake. Jackson had a good chance to end any hope that Arsenal had of winning, a clear chance, but he delayed and Raya was able to save. Jackson is a flop!

Palmer scored, Mudryk scored, Sterling would have scored too maybe. It was wrong to take them all off.

Raya made a mistake, but his two spectacular saves kept them in the game.
Robert Sanchez's mistakes were more costly. The wrong pass to cause the first goal to an unaware Conor Gallagher, and his poor reflex to save that second goal from entering, something De Gea and even Ederson can save.

Advice? I wouldn't get him into my team ! There are better options at that price.

Yeah, but he is consistently dangerous. I think he'll turn it around eventually - and Liverpool's got a nice schedule ahead of them. I'll keep my faith in him for at least a few more games.
I'm furious for not picking Neto at 5.5, he's already at 5.8. Still good value at that price, but I'm reluctant to pay 0.3 more than I needed to a few weeks ago.

The time for my first wildcard might be approaching, nice to see Stones back and starting. That's a price hit I did not want to take - a fit Stones will bring the points.

Not really Poch's fault (except for the part where he brought on Jackson for Palmer, I mean what else did he expect to happen), but your goalkeeper was terrible in that game and gave Rice a free goal.

Although it's fair to say, Raya was also a mess tonight as well.

I came to complain about another player I chose - Luis Diaz. He's playing great, but simply isn't getting any contributions.
To my surprise, I saw that he was given an assist today - for a penalty won. That's actually quite fair and I like the rule.

Diaz is still somebody I can see transferring out - even with that assist he's still on 32 points which isn't that great. I hate transferring out good players though.

Advice? I wouldn't get him into my team ! There are better options at that price.

I added Darwin instead of Bryan Mbeumo to my team at the last moment and this made me lose 10 points. It misguided me that I read the news on Twitter saying Klopp would put Darwin in the starting eleven. I'm very happy for making Salah the captain who scored 2 goals this week. If Haaland didn't score today it would have been a great GW for me.

Lucky enough for me I have all my players available for selection. My only headache is Areola vs Onana at the moment.
I have no idea why you have Onana, but if you do, this is the game to play him. Sheffiled is the worst attack of the league (worst defense too) and if you are not playing him today then why did you pick him? And I am sure Aston Villa scores against West Ham.

And Spurs scores against Fulham too.

This is one of those games where if you don't have a keeper (in this case Onana) who's a clear favorite over the other keeper, you shouldn't stress out over it because chances are in that case both will get the same points.



Salah hauls again today, but the robot who I made captain this week only got a solitary goal. That alone costed me 8 points this week  Undecided but at least everyone is returning so far!

Would have been great day for me if Not. Forrest managed to keep clean sheet. That would mean all my players returned and I would have won 180mBTC on a nice ticket where I only missed Forrest ML. Can't complain about fantasy really but that 180mBTC would have come handy  Angry

Same goes for any other United asset, if you have them, play them today, that isn't even a decision worth thinking about. Make it easy for yourself, if you have a player with best fixture in your squad, he plays, otherwise don't have him in your squad. With exception of 3.9M bench fodder.

Rodri will always be the most important player in the Manchester City team, but I'm not sure why the fan base isn't pushing him for the FIFA award and Ballon d'Or like Chelsea supporters and the media did with Jorginho. He left the team for three games and they lost points, but he returned and the team is back on track.

Seeing Manchester city destroy Brighton overshadows some real talents from Brighton that deserve some recognition...players like Mitoma are never praised but watching his game play against City has made me a fan and should be my next asset to own in the coming gameweeks, otherwise a clean sheet for City should reward us handsomely, fingers crossed.

Manchester United should win easily today knowing they are in panic/desperation mode, if not sell everyone after this game..and I know several FPL managers still own either Fernandez or Rashford considering that they are thr big performers.

Btw with news of Sir Bobby Charlton passing, I expect this to be a dedication match...

RIP Legend.
