It's really going to be a funny kind of rollercoaster, I can't even make any decision, I'm thinking of taking a couple points hit, but will the juice be worth the squeeze, I guess I have enough time to consider my risk assessment and just going to take the whole of the day and tomorrow making decisions on other pools rather than spend it tinkering on a FPL line up.

Congratulations to everybody that's got their position locked down, and Good luck to every other person too!

I had the worst GDW, first with Grealish playing zero minutes in the first game and missing the second due to illness from the title celebration, then with Akanji who played only 58 minutes, picked up an injury, and missed the second game, I'm still wondering how I retain my position when my only hope (Shaw) got an injury and was sub off, I thought all hope was gone so I didn't bother checking until this morning. I'm in a lot more trouble than you think; Grealish, Akanji, Willox, and Shaw are all injured, so I'm forced to take a major hit for the final dance. To be honest, I've deleted three drafts and I'm still nervous Grin

Let the best manager wins.

To be honest, this slowness annoys me a little (it's not just about free bets, but in many other things).

Who knows, there is still a week left to play for, and that could make a significant difference too, so it's surely not over yet, and I think everyone have made multiple mistakes here or let's call them unfortunate decisions, Imagine, for this game week I took a -4 points hit to bring in Trent Alexander-Arnold for Kieran Trippier, that's a 12 points loss for me.

Trippier had a knot and was doubtful for the game against Leicester City, so it was an easy decision to go with Akanji with a DGW. ( sometimes its good to not read the News)

only Pep can save my GW now- give Grealish and Akanji 90mins of football and return Mahrez and Alvarez back to the bench  Grin.

I think there is a delay in Free bets distribution, I'm also still yet to get one some weeks ago from the Bundesliga Pool, so I believe it's a general thing, but then OP should be able to give a more precisely information on it.

You are right.....

I completely forgot that we have FPL thread lol. I think I've been abit decent for my first time playing fantasy and at most case scenario, I might only be getting 9th place top. I guess getting close avg points on average throughout the whole season is not good enough to win

Too bad league is coming to the end, just when I am finally starting to close the gap to first place.

Too bad huh but 2nd place is pretty good as well. I think you will need atleast 2 more rounds to actually close that huge gap to Morvilz though provided if you can get decent amount of points but well played this season

I'm screwed, and my only hope is Isak.  
Isak is not really a factor when Wilson plays. He is nowhere near as dangerous on the wing as he is when playing central striker role. Wilson is also first penalty taker so Isak doesn't even have that going on for him. If Wilson wasn't so injury prone he would have Kane's numbers every season. I am very proud of my decision to go Wilson over Isak, helped me a lot to mitigate some of my bad decisions like Steele over Estupinan Smiley

Too bad league is coming to the end, just when I am finally starting to close the gap to first place.

Unfortunately, I bottled the 5th place after spending the most of my time on it since the second chance campaign. Going for Isak and Willox(C) in GW 35 was my biggest blunder. I deserved it for not killing the game when I had the chance, and I'm happy of what I accomplished this season after using all of my Chips within the first 16 GWs (had no idea what they were for BTW) and being able to push this far. Next season will be difficult, but I now have all of the necessary experience.

G. Jesus is the most differentiat player anyone can think of, with three GW, zero goal contributions, and zero impact.

Harkorede, you're coming up on me fast; if you don't leapfrog me after the GW, it's game over.

It's never too late, until it's over, I'm not going to overplay my cards but you bet, I'm going to be chasing the final game weeks aggressively, I'm not overly optimistic but I can still see fancy my chances  Grin

Just watch your back man!

Yeah, I bottled it. I made a bad error in the last GW by picking willock over Willson, and that mistake alone reduced my 30+ point lead to 20+, and as unlucky as I am, I repeated the same mistake by dumping MaC Alister, who has a DGW, for Jesus, thinking he would perform some magic to increase my lead. Now I'm just 3 points ahead, and Grealish is drunk and unlikely to play the next game. I'm screwed, and my only hope is Isak.

Is there anything we don't know about those of you with Alvarez and Halaand up front? because I don't see any reason why Pep would rotate Halaand in their next two games now that there is no other competition for them to play, Alvarez could get some minutes against Brighton but I don't think he would get more than 30 minutes, I could be wrong but I don't see it the other way around.
I am actually expecting Alvarez to be the player with most minutes for City. He will play in Haaland's spot all the minutes Haaland misses and he will get one whole game instead of De Bruyne. I am 99% sure Grealish, De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan, Silva and Stones are not playing more than 100 minutes in these 2 games. Mahrez could get some more since he is not playing CL anymore, Foden could also get something more and maybe few defenders like Dias. I even expect Ederson to play just one match.

Haaland is a bit special case, he is chasing so many records but I am sure Pep wants to save him from CL and Cup Finals. He is the only I can't place at all, I am sure he will play at least 60 min in one game to keep match fitness but he could also play 2 full games.

Now that they are Champions, it makes more sense for Alvarez, Foden, and Mahrez to start against Chelsea. On the other hand, I'm sure Pep would prefer to let Halaand, Grealish, and KDB enjoy the guard of honour from Chelsea players. Halaand will also be trying to score his first league goal against Chelsea.

This is the first GW this season that I missed the deadline. No biggie since my team was set up good but still was thinking of doing one transfer maybe and benching Rashford for Wilson
<...>

You didn't miss much with the deadline, Rashford news he was not in the squad came out an hour and 15 mins before their game, nothing you could really do...if had him you start him.

I received the news before the deadline and replaced him with Bruno, but nothing has spoit. He may return against Chelsea and deliver a masterclass, but that's a risk I wasn't ready to take.

Not sorry about transfer but feel like I am gonna regret Wilson on bench.<...>

Nah you won't, he's leggy and needs a rest. Let Isak cook!  Grin

I think you are actually good saving the transfer, you will get two next game week...i fully expect to see plenty of rotations. United need a point for top4 now, Brighton needs 3, Pep gonna rotate for sure...it's gonna be a shitshow.

Liverpool conceding did not help my fantasy team or my ticket. Red bastards Smiley Just when you think they started playing well.

Isak > Wilson decision is arguably the biggest swing i've seen in a long time, 34 points.  If he had scored that last 1v1 against Steele, i could see several Wilson non-owners deleting their FPL accounts. I could've been one of those folks if Raya and Estu hadn't come through for me.  Cheesy  If things don't go your way, FPL can be a cruel game at times. I'm glad this thing is over soon, it's exhausting, as someone mentioned earlier.

Now let's leave Wilson captainers enjoy their ultra, mega, giga, tera haul. A well-deserved win for them!

It is always like that in fantasy. I paid a lot for decision to start the season with Kane instead of Haaland and double Liverpool defense.

After the world cup I made mostly good decisions and climbed from 2M to top 400k but you can never completely erase few bad calls and I lost top spots in all the leagues during first 5 game weeks.

One of the bad decisions lately was to take Steele instead of Estupinan. I did it on purpose to navigate benching in blank game weeks easier but it costed me a lot.

My own biggest was first after the few week I was still sticking with Salah as my captain, while barely having top scorer like Toney and Mitrovic as I wasn't until after the world cup having him for a couple times, and never liking Bruno Fernandes and Guardiola Roulette to was also a damning decision, and now this little rally I've got now seems rather too late, but I've learnt some great lessons, so you all might need to up your game, if we're doing next season, because I'm coming for your heads  Tongue

What a beautiful sight!

It reminds me of last year when i captained Reece James against Burnley and he scored, got an assist, Chelsea kept a clean sheet, plus the three bonus points. Of all the hauls in FPL, defenders getting several attacking returns has to be one of the nicest feelings there is.

Estu, Raya, and Mahrez lowkey saved my game week after fumbling the 50/50 question of who to get, Isak or Wilson. I hope Wilson can stay put and don't do any more damage in the second game against Brighton...
That last minute goal from Estupinan ruined my otherwise very good week. I have Steele instead of him and before that goal he was on 10 while Steele was on 8 points, good enough and than with that one goal he got way more and Steele lost 2 bonus points since Undav managed to overtake him with 15 minutes on the pitch. Too make it even worse there was a one more save from Steele which they did not count which would again put him up there on 9 points. It was a good low shot and he just put a smallest touch on the ball but ref did not see it and it was a goal kick instead of a corner.

At least I got it right so war with Wilson captain and I think he starts next one as well since he came off in minute 70 or something like that.
