Firstly, congratulations on your win.
Secondly, I decided to make a return bet. It's not a free bet, but the money is won from a free bet, so I don't take it seriously.
On the one hand I expect the game to end 0-0 (the teams are well prepared for this in the European Cups haha), but I think Haaland's drought in big games should end at some point.

Sanchez with 9 points again, that's 24 in 2 GW's if I counted correctly.

Finally something from Morgan Rogers, but not the best of weeks for me yet again. Jota benched, nothing from Garnacho and a last second goal to deny Harwood-Bellis a clean sheet.

Fine margins in Fantasy, Trent with a CS and could have easily been an own goal. Nothing going my way so far in my duel with icopress, still early though. Did not expect him to be at the top to be honest.

Another source of pain in FPL is when you have to starting goalkeepers but keeps getting it wrong and who you doesn't outscore the other even when they have the best fixture of paper, Verbruggen scored 5 points last game week, that's 10 points less than Sanchez, now it's going to be the same story all over again, Verbruggen wouldn't be in action until tomorrow but Sanchez already with 8 points and 2 extra bonus points coming too. Smh.

I doubt Verbruggen will be able to keep a clean sheet as Sanchez did; Nottingham Forest tend to score even in games that they don't win.

Sanchez + Your Nicholas Jackson points would have put you in top for the GW already.

Not sure anyone captained Jackson; that would have been some luck!

Damn right, I don't even think Verbruggen will be able to match that how of points even if Brighton were to keep a clean sheet today, but the only positivity I can draw from my defensive end is that both Arnold and Robertson gave some returns, and still better for my Liverpool triple up compared to having Jota in the mix.

Rogers finally paying some dividends too, I guess it was just a matter of time with him.

Ahhh i just have Luis Diaz as a captain until this round, but this round with the addition of the android Haaland, i give him the captain band.

Very good round overall for me.

Tomorrow the big match of the round, Manchester City against Arsenal, lets see if Manchester city starts to drop some point.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!! I decided for myself that Salah will be the captain

Why are the odds so low? Cry

Is this a conscious choice? The problem is that the "body" of the bet is burned (since it is a free bet) at a big loss. It's hard for me to check the message history now, but I calculated that for a free bet the most favorable odds are in the range of 6.0 - 10.0.
6 points for Salah is not a very good round. But it will be interesting to see if Haaland can break the curse.

Wild Card is on everyone's lips next couple of rounds, yeah?

Some people already used that option, but next week, there will be more people wildcarding. I almost used mine this week, but I just made one change and waiting to see how it goes for me this GW.

Jasckson and Sanchez, picking up where they left off at the end of last season...

Well technically it was Petrovic in goal last year but you get the idea.

I knew I forgot something! Out now and then heard my kid told me Chelsea was ahead and then dawned on me I had completely forgotten to check my squad out.

Thankfully should not be too bad. Captaincy left on Salah. And even if Isak and Pedro marked injured don't play, the bench looks fine.

Hope I get lucky. Wild Card is on everyone's lips next couple of rounds, yeah?

I'm strongly contemplating to bring in Watkins/Solanke for Pedro and Eze for a cheaper midfield as Eze hasn't been firing on all cylinders either, but I'll be in need of those two free transfers of mine two rotate a bit towards Arsenal for next game week moving forward, so banking is also an option, I just need to be a bit sure If Pedro isn't going to be missing more than just week at the very most.

We all thought Eze was on penalties at least but after Mateta taking and dispatching last one, I don't think that will change in near future. He isn't an immediate sell since he plays 90 minutes and always have some chances but he will probably leave my team on wildcard.

Yep, Haaland is surely playing the whole 90. To captain him or not - the dilemma of every round.

I fucked it up the last time, but no way I'm captaining him against Arsenal. Inter showed he can be kept quiet and he tends to do badly in big games. A few players will surely outscore him this round, it just remains to pick the one that will.

Salah to get another chance? He was disastrous against NFO but did well against Milan. Watkins as a safer pick?

Watkins hasn't been playing 90 minutes so he'd have been a no for me, Haaland or tough fixture ? then Salah all the way, my captaincy is a two way traffic for the foreseeable future.

Mostly in this season, my captain choice has been between Haaland and Salah. Against Arsenal, I also don't imagine Haaland scoring as freely as he has been this season, so I would rather have one of the Liverpool choices as captain in this round because I consider that they will do very well against Bournemouth. Since I have Salah, he will be my captain.

I am not expecting a very entertaining game between us and Manchester City; I predict a very defensive game where both teams are playing caution, understanding the risk carried by the other team.

Will see, unexpected benching Haaland maybe a problem for those who have him in squad. But I still think he will play because Pep definitely wants to win this game and despite all his ghostings in big games, Haaland is a big trump card.
Incidentally, despite his incredible statistics, in the game with Inter Haaland buried his chances to surpass Ronaldo (who is currently the champion in this indicator) in the speed of reaching 100 goals scored for the club. Now he can only repeat it (105 games).

No way he is benching Haaland against Arsenal. That is the most important duel for City this season, especially considering results from past season. Haaland is playing full 90 minutes in this one unless he gets injured or points become secured for one of the teams.

You don't have to convince me, after I calculated the cost of replacing him (I wanted to replace him with a benchkeeper for 4 million and take a good midfielder), I left him in the team Grin

It's a shame this competition isn't very flexible - due to the cost of team modifications, it's better to choose a long-term project and sit on your butt. I'd like more dynamics.

But it seems like every big game Haaland leaves with zero goals scored? The game against the main competitor should be big enough for Haaland not to score a goal Grin

Overall, I think that a 0-0 scoreline would suit this game very well - both teams like to control the ball and will do so, there won't be time to score goals Grin

Arsenal will play very defensively against top teams like City so it suits them that they will have almost no xG in this match.

But now after the Inter I wonder if Haaland will even play in the next match. Because he played the full 90 minutes and is getting no rest. Only Pep would do such a thing, and his snarky press conference did hint to benching players randomly.

I believe If Haaland isn't going to play in any matchday there is an obligation from Guardiola to likely make it know before hand, while I don't also see him being on the bench either, I believe Haaland specifically isn't anyone's biggest worry for this round rather the biggest worry would be Salah as captain, with Watkins getting back to his best, Solanke is now fully available too, or should it be Cole Palmer ?

Haaland, as said numerous time already, will likely have a parallel effect across boards, what happens outside Haaland is what everyone is concerned about, especially when there is a week like this where Haaland is supposedly faced with a tough fixture and plethora of captaincy candidates are available.

The problem with not captaining Haaland is that most people always captain him. He's statistically in the top 2 players per points won, this season he's the leading player, so going against him carries a significant risk.

If you get it right you will catch up a bit, but more often than not you'll fall further behind.
If you captain Haaland and he blanks, maybe 1 or 2 people will catch up to you. If you captain somebody else and Haaland has a good game, 10 people surpass you.
