It is sad for me that Rogers got injured for 2 weeks who is one of the rare players I'm happy to have until now. This is an indicator that sad news would continue to come for me in 2025 as well.

What injury for Rogers? I didn't hear anything about that.

As far as I know he picked up his 5th yellow card which means he is missing next game and that is it.

Yes i think in the same way as spack, 95 is not so high and with any double round or a good selected triple captain it can be surprased with ease.

The good thing i see until now is the battle on top is still very contested by a a lot of players.

Although it looks like 95 points, I think that this limit is going to be much more than this at the end of the season together with the bench boost, TC and assistant manager boosts. Especially Salah's performance on the double gameweek would play an important role in this.

My only target this season is to win 🏅 ''Best overall GW - 8 mBTC'' prize.

Trofo, icopress, is there an easy way to track which is the highest score to overtake?
It will probably be taken in one of the DGW's anyway, but I'd still like to be able to check this easily. It's really a big reward - didn't expect to see this.

Probably not that easy for you guys, so I decided to make a small recap since we are mid season now. Will do updated one when we are 3/4 or whenever someone asks for it. I keep sort of track and then just fill in the blanks when needed. Nick names are combinations of bitcintalk and fantasy names but should be more than enough.

GW - 1 - Harkorede   -   92   points
GW - 2   - Rruchi man   -   94   points
GW - 3   - buwaytress   -   95   points
GW - 4   - icopress   -   68   points
GW - 5   - hhampuz   -   89   points
GW - 6   - icopress   -   80   points
GW - 7   - goodpunt   -   76   points
GW - 8   - Woodie   -   59   points
GW - 9   - Renato   -   76   points
GW - 10   - Renato   -   62   points
GW - 11   - B1g4udge   -   80   points
GW - 12   - cls63      -   82   points
GW - 13   - Smart Virus   -   93   points
GW - 14   - ajiz 138   -   88   points
GW - 15   - Ulven      -   80   points
GW - 16   - Ulven      -   69   points
GW - 17   - Renato   -   95   points
GW - 18   - B1g4udge   -   69   points
GW - 19   - Harkorede   -   83   points

So at the moment our prize is split between buwaytress and Renato.

Edit: there are GW where there has been multiple people with same points but then tie breakers were used. Chips count, minus transfer are deducted.

I wasn't expecting Manchester City's bad run to last this long. I have lost so many points because of not parting my ways with Haaland. My only target this season is to win 🏅 ''Best overall GW - 8 mBTC'' prize. I was thinking that it was a great move for me to get Tottenham goalkeeper Forster for a very cheap price. However Tottenham defense is in a really terrible condition.

I sold Haaland a long time ago and that was the only positive thing i did so far in this league. Im not getting any City players for a long time and i think i might even save a transfer for this week. Well i can also try to get best GW reward i got so far only one won,dont know who has the most GWs so far

Haaland has 3 games left to give me some returns, he's off after them even if he scores 50 points on average.

GW19 winner is Harkorede with 83 points, same as myself but he wins it on tie breaks. Jesus comes to your rescue in the last moments Grin

Really thought I already had this one, both of us with points on the bench as well, you with Joao Pedro, me with Greaves. Looking at our teams, no way either of them would ever enter first 11 for us.

Thanks man, I actually didn’t have Gabriel Jesus, user “el che” does, but he ended up with 82 points, the difference maker for me was Mbeumo scoring that goal, if he hadn’t then I sure wouldn’t win the round, Mbeumo have been super important for me and even with the crazy fixtures they’d be having soon, I might end up keeping him.

I didn’t even know you took a points hit and would have imagined it was already deducted in the standings since I was checking on mobile as well for this round.

I hate it that official FPL changed the way they are showing GW points. I really don't see a point why they decided to change it. In the browser you can see your score and then next to it minus points. Total score is of course a combination. On mobile you can't even see deduction any more. The game still does all that in the shadows but doesn't show clearly. If you play a cup match for instance your score there will be correct one with transfers deducted.

That explains the point where I’m having to view this, on the mobile where everything is done in the shadows without any point deductions being formally displayed. I really hoped it would have been much better on app but, they don’t think it wise to integrate this anyway.

G. Jesus is definitely taking the most advantage he could from Saka’s absence for playing time and showing some potential. I’m looking to do some transfers for suspended and injured players and he seems like an attractive asset at the moment, though he isn’t the type you would want to keep around for long. A consideration maybe.

Anyway, better luck next time.
Good thing is, you’re closer to a price position now then ever, watching out for what you would do about that!

You did take 4 points hit or what,
You’re comfortably seating on 87 points and Harkorede on 83 points. Point hits is the only logical conclusion that could be. Anyway, congratulations.

Yep, -4 points hit and then he wins it on better overall rank, even without that he would win it since i made transfers and he did not

For a win I needed Jesus to miss out on that max bonus points.

I still managed a decent 70 points despite making the critical error of not having to captain M. Salah. Palmer became my doom in this round else, I don’t see why I wouldn’t have been up for the most points in the just concluded GW19.

Congratulations Harkorede, From my rare view mirror, I can see you in hot pursuit.

Our teams are slowly changing with lots of differentials; we will soon start seeing significant differences in points.

Ah well. At least Mbeumo scored one goal so I cut the lead of most of you by a little. Every point feels important at this stage!

It's a near miss for me as I could've topped the game week if I hadn't benched Morgan Rogers Sad

But onwards. Rising to the top half of the table is a major achievement at this point and now I'm going to focus on breaking into the top 10.

I think I will hold my transfers steady until (if??!) Haaland gets back in form and then I will sell Jackson and a few others for him.

If you get the right team on start it will be a huge boost like the top 5 did in this fantasy league. I made some critical mistakes on start with some defenders and that costed me everything. Im trying to get back but bad captaincy is killing my hopes now. Mbeumo on bench and scores and putted Enzo instead of him and Chelseas lost costing me more and more

Enzo is one of the options that I will first consider replacing in my team; he switched off from the moment I trusted him enough to bring me points.

Arsenal should have had clean sheet points against Brentford. Raya switched off for a moment, and it cost us. I like Arteta for giving Nwaneri a chance to start in Saka's position. The youngster can do well in that position with more confidence.

I think this (price management) is something I'll have to pick up next season. Still trying to make sure I settle in fully in FPL. I think I pretty much understand it all, but have not bothered to look at price mechanics, as you can see I've lost 4m just playing my team the way I have. I didn't check but I'm sure yours is one of the more valuable squads in our pool. Is it because I make my sells very late? Should maybe just transfer injuries out ASAP before price falls?

It is mostly about early transfers and making some transfers that you know are not that good. Basically you are consciously paying for transfers to make sideways moves here and there to catch price changes. It is a fine line to thread and difficult to judge. Early transfers are also big risk if someone gets injured in Europe games. Sometimes it works good, sometimes not so much.

Best way to make money in FPL is always to get GW1 team perfect, but I never manage to do that.

Much easier to fit in Watkins with my 105.3M than yours 101.6M Grin

Checked your team, only bad call was Cunha for me. his suspension finally kicked in. Love the defense by the way. Would go similar myself, only Trent instead of Gvardiol.

I know buywatress understands and knows football really well, but there is no way I'd believe some professional isn't likely managing his FPL team this season, the wildcard was where you'd at least expect him to do the most damage unprovoked, but here we are.

I think folks with Cunha can technically just consider this to be one match ban from consecutive yellow cards or whatever, FA's hit him with a two much ban, but only one of those match would be in the EPL.

Actually I don't really. I know teams overall better than individual players. I even watch games without really paying attention to the individuals (mainly because my eyesight's gone hahaha). I'm just benching Cunha for sure, for now, anyway. And that's another thing I need to level up in my FPL, I have no future planning so wasn't even aware of this suspension coming. I don't really believe in fixture "easiness" in any case, so I don't pay attention, I just like comparing present (last couple of weeks) form. International breaks this season meant we hardly had any form gauge though.

Played with fire and get burned. Arteta tried it, underrating Ipswich and they only won by a whisker. Struggling all game and missing passes, not working the Saka’s wing good due to his absence and the game was a mess. Here again is Slot, taking such chances by leaving Jackson, Neto and Gusto on the bench.

I don't think Arteta underrated Ipswich. We simply did not expect Ipswich to be so good, especially in defense. Some Chelsea supporters were quick to laugh at Arsenal for being able to score just one goal. Today Chelsea couldn't score any.

Not starting Jackson was Maresca completely underestimating Ipswich. Was Nkunku not for the conference league?

Is that a sense of having the last laugh I see there?
Well, you could be entitled that at the moment but, I still feel Arteta did test run the Ipswich game and the good thing is, it slightly paid off. They managed to get a goal and kept it despite a shitty play. Saka’s absence could prove costly for the club but, they might manage hopefully.

Chelsea however couldn’t do nothing and even lost by a 2 goal margin, allowing Ipswich escape with a clean sheet, that was so off. Hope they find there form soon before the decline becomes eminent.

I think we are a lot of people in that boat. We all are whinking the same and that is "Salah is gonna cut his good streak" so we choose Palmer who plays against weak teams, but until now this is not happening and Salah still in his best and destroying us.

Nah, I don't. I honestly think Salah will bring points in every game this season.
I just think Palmer should bring more against Ipswich than Salah against WH, and in this round Haaland against WH than Salah against United.

So I keep trying, but nothing works. Last year's City would score 5 against WH, who knows if they wilol even win this season. United on the other hand is terrible - but still has a lot of 0-0's from Anfield in recent seasons.
