I don't even want to comment on anything... another shitty week for me Lips sealed

I don't think I can complain about the week given what you all have had to say, but the most point hit I've taken so far this week was Jack Grealish for for Solly March ended with 8 points and Grealish had 12, so technically it's the same thing right ?, but then that was me wanting to have Grealish on my team to begin with, so I could also say I got him for free, lol.

That's practically why I've been mute on the thread thus far. Had weeks when I didn't work on team and have almost half of it not featuring in any game while I watch the rest of y'all having a great time. Information is truly power and the FPL leaves no room for laxity and the uninformed. I've been paying more attention lately but, I just took Erling Haaland off my team due to him missing Manchester City's last game and then he scored me zero points as he was on my team. Now, i saw him off ny teams as i still didn't see him looking fit enough play and didnt come by any news of him being fit to play then, he comes in and scores 2 goals. FPL really shits you good for real!

I'm so glad i used my free transfer to switch Toney with Haaland. I was not sure how many minutes Pep would give him or if he would even start. On the other hand, Southampton's xGC in the last few matches was too high to ignore, so i've made the move. Luck definitely played a role, Toney rarely, if ever, misses a pen. I'm not sure i've ever seen him miss one, and he had a goal ruled out before that...crazy swing.

Rashford's injury seems bad though, groin strains can be tricky! I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to miss an extended period of time, like a month or something.

United is doing big problems to my team. First I had to bench Shaw do to injury today and it would have been great addition to my defense, now this thing with Rashford....

I pulled the trigger on Haaland which worked well but I also pulled trigger on Ake. They just had to concede that goal before he was subbed. By the way did you guys see second goal from Haaland? Not many people out there that can finish like that Cool

I'm in the same boat; after selling Salah and bringing in Rashford, the results weren't good at all. I'd blame the coach for that injury; you can't play a player in 3 games in the span of just 6 days; he needed time off to fully recover from his previous injury. It seems really horrible that he will be absent for a while and then might return after blank week Gw 32.

The Halaand haul ruind my game plan. Mitoma was excellent today as well, but he was robbed of a goal and an assist. It was worthwhile to switch Toney for Halaand at the last minute, but my decision for captain (Watkins) wasn't as good.

Yeah, it's always a bit of a gamble when making transfers, but it sounds like you made the right decision. Toney is usually so reliable from the spot, but I guess anything can happen in football. How do you think Haaland will perform in the upcoming matches?

Yeah, I saw that. Groin strains can be really tricky, so he might need some time to recover. Hopefully, it won't be too serious and he'll be back on the pitch soon.

I think the upcoming periods will be more exciting for the fantasy game. I'm also considering adding Haaland to my team, but I have a problem with my overall team budget. I will make a big plan this time. Cheesy

I have to hide this week for gambling on Salah. Ha ha ha. Can't even bear looking at the 3 Liverpool boys I inserted for DGW, Salah couldn't even get full points for his goal because he got carded. Such terrible choices I made. Gamble big, lose, go home.

Saka captaincy and didn't get much even with the big win. Just can't do anything right.

Consolation? I actually got the same points as average player this week. Worse news? That was actually me trying my best overthinking after Euro and giving up some penalties. Thanks Reds. Teach me a lesson, y'know.

Mitoma captaincy to the recue once more, just one more good game and I'll erect a statue for him. It's good to see Jesus back on his scoring feet; when can we expect to see another Jesus and Halaand captaincy rivary? I can hardly wait.

Did you eract Mitoma statue? If I had him as a captain instead of March I would already be sure of that 150 points target. As it is, still achievable, especially if United wipes the floor with Brentford or Newcastle plays a game without goals.

Nobidy bragging with their scores here? This was the week to reap crazy scores.

I did indeed erect him on my office table this morning. I was informed that he attended a dribbling school because, well, his dribbling abilities are fucking near perfection. I'm starting to enjoy him, and it's time for him to don the famous blue shirt in London. No?

Well my 97 score is not bad and not great also. 4 players more to play

Those of us with Leicester and Chelsea players, we won't mind a new manager bounce this mid-week, right? I need some points from Maddison, and soon.

thought about the same from Maddison, but Leicester is a prime Championship competitor this season, Southampton and them are targeting relegation high

March didn't made anything special, pretty lousy result from my side, looking at all players having DGW
nevertheless, starting to prepare for next season, some rules are now learned, and it will be used for a better result

Took 2 penalties with this week's roster. Still actually have bench players with 1 game, and I feel like I need to keep Saka on anyway, hot form needs to be taken advantage of.

Salah back in my squad, but sold Haaland so it was a relatively easy transfer even with some money to spare. So yeap, banking on Liverpool winning big in 2 games, to cover the penalties.

Brave choice considering Liverpool has the thougest possible double with City and Chelsea both away. At least Salah is playing 90 minutes every game and has that extra way to get points trough penalties.

This will be a huge GW, I am thinkin score of 150 will be achieved by a lot of teams. My main points should come from United and Brighton. Thinking of giving March captain band but will probably stick with Rashford in the end.

I'm not sure if 150 will be possible again, with the highest score currently being 55, and only a few players left to play before the midweek games.

Chelsea property owners How are you feeling? I've said it before: Chelsea assets are a waste of time and money. Don't waste your time hoping for another Kepe 10 pointer; it's not going to happen.

Decent start to this DGW for me, i'm on a 30k green arrow with 70 points and 13 players left to play. All Brighton mids returned, some like March, could have mega-hauled with a little more luck...he still can with BOU in sight, they all definitely can.

Wish i knew about the Saka news and him being unwell the day before their match with Leeds, could have moved him out instead of Martinelli, eh well...

why not keep Haaland in the team, just in case he show up, and you would have someone on the bench to replace him eventually?

Problem is, it isn't a one game exactly since his sub would play 2 games this week.

I got rid of Haaland earlier before the blank ao I hope he will not play. My reasoning was, yes he is good but not good enough to outscore players like Havertz or Watkins when he has one game and they have 3 at the same time.

Edit: No Haaland for city, still injured....so far so good

I had to sell Haaland too, and I might keep him out for a while, I only sold simply because I don't have much too lose whenever I want to bring him because he's dropped in value for a while now so I didn't much from the sale...

with Gabriel Jesus back for Arsenal it will become tougher to predict Arteta's preferred line up because Trossard is doing more than a perfect job, and Martinelli isn't slowing down either, all I'm quite sure about now is that Gabriel Jesus place is probably the most secured in the line up, and Trossard being able to play on any position makes he rather more probable to have good playing time to, so there is going to be a lot of guessing game in the next couple of weeks, so I might just go for Odegaard and Jesus until I'm sure about another secured starter.

I also got rid of Haaland, but I'll call him back for the rest of the season. Honestly, fantasy football is fun. This was my first time participating in this game, and I don't think I'll achieve a good ranking in this tournament because I wasn't familiar with the rules, Huh

so I randomly added players, and didn't make any gains that would put me in the top positions. However, in the next season, the result will be different. For now, I will make plans to test and prepare for the upcoming seasons.

and two transfers were lost yet again 😒

yeah, as one my friend says, "read the manual man, read the manual"
we both learned that lesson on a hard way

still thinking what to do on this game week, not that I have much chances to end-up in top5, which was my goal after world cup, but want to try
and learn something in the process, these are important know-how for next season

I will probably need to ship Haaland out temporarily if he's not going to be available for the match against Liverpool, because I have an alternative I really could use for that third man forward option for.

I've been working on my team the last week or so and i think i'm ready with my transfers until GW37. Shocked

Lol

Bench Boosting this week but undecided on the captaincy, slightly in favor of a Brighton mid over Rashford though, can't overlook that BOU fixture.

Will only have 10 in BGW32 but other than that my team looks solid. 8 or 9 doublers in DGW34 plus double Newcastle defense (vs SOU at home). 5 or 6 doublers in GW36 (if NEW/BHA is on). Will have all the popular names for DGW37, and all that without taking any hits. Well, at least that's the plan...i'm sure we will have injuries/suspensions and whatnot to deal with but it's good to draw a blueprint for what you want to do long-term.

I also have an idea of what my team would look like until around Game Week 36, but I would have to take some point hits and this is due to the transfers I lost, I'm still waiting for each team's press conference later today before making the final decision.

isn't Rashford still under question for a weekend?

didn't checked my team for ten days now, so will be a challenge to see what to change, definitely will try to use players from teams that play two matches, although Arsenal has one match, but could end-up with goals

used Free-Hit and lost two free transfers, learning by doing wrong, thought that those two free transfers will remain for next game week, but that didn't happen

It cost both my wild cards and Free Hit to learn two different lessons this season, first is losing 2 transfers to the Wild card, and these are transfers that would have been of better use the previous week, at least to some minor advantage. Secondly, I was trying to play smarter when using my free hit, I first made 2 transfers using my free transfer and then later another that cost 4 points and after all these transfers went successfully, I saved my team and used my free hit later with the hope that my team would revert to the one I had just before I activated the FH, but instead It reverted back to the initial team and two transfers were lost yet again 😒
