EDIT: Damn Mitrovic, he just had to pick up that yellow card, didn't he ? I'd bet it was intentional from striker, he just had fu*k us over, doesn't he ? What a twat!

Oh man, that was one of the shittiest ways to get a yellow. He needed a day off to spend with his children. shit

Adding Shaw and Rashford to my team was the best decision I made all month. Rashford can't stop scoring, and Shaw, on the other hand, is in great form, getting into more dangerous attacking positions and taking his chances. Dejan Kulusevski has been my biggest mistake so far, and if I hadn't missed the transfer deadline, I would have replaced him with Andres. I'm so fucked up.

At least Mitrović scored a beautiful goal early on and got us some points. Did not watch the second half but I was almost sure he will get a yellow. It was just a perfect FPL knee jerk thing to happen.

Still quite happy with GW so far, now i just need to hit big on Pep roulette Grin

It would have been a complete shit show if he had scored and picked up that Yellow card, but I would have fancied my chance with Haaland playing against Chelsea over the 5 points I got from Mitrovic.

My gameweek haven't been entirely bad too, If only I had left Nick Pope in starting line up, those 8 extra points would have come in handy, but that's past now, and I'll take any point I can get off Cancelo and I hope Haaland doesn't get a haul.

Maybe this time I actually get Nunez in, am sure his price will have dropped by now?

Not really since he was never that popular, his price dropped to 8.9M yesterday. At this point of the season that 0.1M does not mean that much. I got rid of Darwin for Mitrović and so far it seems like good decision unless Mitrović gets red carded today and misses a penalty. You know at least one of those things will happen now when I wrote it Grin

That being said, Nunez gets so many chances and as long as he is playing 90 minutes I feel like he is a solid pick. It is just a matter of time before they start to go in and then he will get heaps of points.

It so far so good, I'm literally glad to have ditched Nunez for him too, but I think he should still get a couple of goals or assist more over the two games, I'm partially regretting my choice of playing Ward for Pope, because Newcastle are still yet to concede in the game, but Ward is down by a goal from Mitrovic, It was as though I was edging my pick of Mitrovic as captain by playing Ward because Fulham failing to score would literally mean Ward at least 7 points.

Newcastle are still trying to prove a point here, despite being heavily deprived of ball possession, they're still being a threat while attacking

not sure, he is good at penalties, and not that prone to red cards
but yellow is a possibility, and a harsh one

interesting matches tonight, Arsenal is probably most watched, but I am going with Everton, win over Brighton would be a great addition to point against City

Yeah, actually don't think either of them were in my squad anyway but I really needed to purge a couple of long-term injuries. Not unhappy at all, kind of really need my own recharge in real life, so happy to assess the damage in my FPL when I can sit down this weekend.

I see igehh is considering to bring Saka and get rid of Nunez. Here is a trick question for you, who scored more points in the last 5 game weeks before this one, Nunez or Saka? I am sure most of you would say Saka and everybody is praising him and dishing hate on Nunez but Nunez actually scored two points more

That is just to show you all how subjective we really are. I know I triple checked that stats before believing them.

I'm one of those idiots who still think Darwin will figure out how to score goals given the number of chances he gets; Shocked

if Halaand had half of them, he would already have 30 goals. BTW, I wanted to switch KBD for Saka. I'm done looking at the stats from the past; Saka is more offensive and dangerous than KDB at the moment, and he also takes PKs and set pieces.

I'm yet to own Kevin De Bruyne for just a single game week in team so far, but it's not due to how highly or not I rate him, because I consider him to be the best Man City player even ahead of Haaland, but my problems lies on him person and what amount of points I can get from him, Saka for Arsenal right now is a must use option for as often as he's available, even though their upcoming fixtures are very tough ones, I still expect a number of Arsenal goals to go through Saka and/or Martinelli, I guess that's the the same reason why a lot of us go for strikers like Ivan Toney and Mitrovic, because they're often the major source of goal for their team, but a team like City have a vast number of alternatives, but we're all on the Haaland train simply because of his consistency and max playing time.

thinking about Salah a lot
he is not playing as expected, but he is still above KDB in total points, and near the top of the list, and yes, he is expensive in points-per-million, but on the other hand, most of those expensive players are not playing great, and without Salah, I would probably have team with 3-4 million in bank each round

In FPL, the present is more important than the past, and having expensive players does not always guarantee points; sometimes they are just a waste of space. As a result, both players are no longer reliable.

didn't took Mitrovic into team, not sure that Chelsea is a right team to score against (and if Mitrovic can, Haaland can as well), and Leicester had solid defense before the break, and conceived two own-goals against Liverpool, will be interesting to see Mitrovic in those two matches

I get your drift but my thought process for the decision is that assuming both players go blank and Mitrovic doesn't pick up a yellow card against Leicester he'd get 4 points that's twice what Haaland would get.

I'm glad to be rid of Nunez already, and I might likely go the same route for Salah too once Cody Gakpo gets his playing chance, he's quite cheap at just 8.0m as I predicted the day after Liverpool announced his signing.

I believe the Guardiola would all out against Chelsea so I think Foden and Cancelo should definitely get back into the starting XI all things being considered, however it's not going to be an easy fixture still imo.

I am on Mitrović band wagon, there just isn't a better player for this double GW. Of course it can back fire like everything in fantasy but he should do good. For any chance of me getting a nice green arrow I need Pep roulette to come on my number for once and then Cancelo/Foden to do something. So far I am happy with my choice to sell Nunez for Mitrović,. It was between him and Martial for me and Martial just has the better fixture and possible double in GW 21.

Damn! That hurts, lol.

I finally made the choice, and I'm rid of Darwin Nunez, I just couldn't have another blank week from him, I brought in and opted for Mitrovic as my captain for the gameweek and my decision is solely guided by their double fixtures, it was just to hard to ignore despite being at a risk of the 5th yellow, It only made sense due to Leicester struggle defensively, and Man City also facing Chelsea, I could have stick with Haaland if they're playing a less tougher team, and Guardiola may also decide to go mehh again.

It was a tough call to decide between keeping Pope or bring in Ward to be between the sticks, I however settled for Ward at least because of Arsenal's prowess in front of goal, but I kept Tripper in, there way too much to him than just the chances of a clean sheet.

Fuck me!!!

The festival season is so busy that I completely forgot about GW19 and made no transfers. I believe my team is in good shape, but I had planned to acquire Saka, get rid of KDB, and retain Darwin until GW20. The only way I'm going to make it through this round is if I get a little bit lucky this time.

Fantasy is 80% luck and 20% decision making Grin

having three Manchester City players was more profitable than having three Arsenal players before the World Cup, at least for me, because at one point I had two Arsenal attackers and I wasn't getting anything close to what I was getting from the the City players I later had, but now having those City players is worse than having three Chelsea players, can you say we those who had Foden, Cancelo, and Walker made a wong decision ? I would say unlucky because those players are first team players and big part of the team BUT Pep <<<<<

Fantasy for a weekly prize could be 95% luck and 5% decision making but luck would mostly never get you the grand prizes for the 38 weeks runs, so it's more like 70% decision making and 20% risk taken chances, and finally 10% luck as far the entire 38 week is concerned, look at who is 1st placed in our pool currently check his entire history from GW1 - till now, and tell me a single week where you think he only got lucky, I don't remember him being in the top 5 for the first week right, but the slow and steady progress is more of a factor decision strategy and almost zero luck.

You're lucky to have three Arsenal players on your team, that's how everyone felt having three City players in their team before the World Cup, now it's a nightmare having more than one, I'm glad Martinelli gave me something to keep hope alive for the week just when it looked impossible, he's one of the longest serving players in my team, I got him very early and he's been fantastic. A captain's product.

That is not lucky, that is making a decision, probably a good one, but the process still isn't over. I like Arsenal forwards very much but I was looking at the fixtures before GW17 and decided that Arsenal players are not needed before GW22. Arsenal now has Newcastle, Spurs and United and I did not want to have Arsenal attackers for that run of games. So far I paid for my decision dearly but I hope to get something back along the next 3 game weeks.

I don't think so, I have a feeling only he knows why he prefers some players. While that explanation can work for Cancelo and Walker it is not correct for Foden. This was 6th game in a row where Foden was on the bench (after starting first 12) and got nothing or just some scraps. Also if he wanted to rest some players Haaland and De Bruyne would be the first ones to rest and keep healthy for tougher run of fixtures. City players are a big avoid for me after this and I will be looking to get rid of Foden/Cancelo as soon as possible. Not gonna take minus points for them but will ship them off as opportunity presents itself.

Extreme favoritism. I don't know what Pep is cooking.

Nottingham scored, so it was a good choice to leave Pope one more round, real question us can Chelsea get one clean sheet in next round, City is hardly an option, but Fulham is good at scoring too
on the other side, Pope has to fight high scoring Arsenal attack

throwing a dice basically

Tottenham is a let down, and before start I preferred Son over Haaland, what a miss

I wasn't banking on any of Tottenham players and I wouldn't have Perisic in too If I knew he wasn't going to be deployed well upfront where he is very effective, Son seemed to be inhibit his performance on that flank and vice versa, and Conte doesn't seem to have an idea about how he wants his squad to look or play.

I'll be getting rid of Darwin soon and probably Trossard, I just feel bad to have lost some 0.2m for hoarding him for two match day weeks

Is it safe to assume that Pep actually kept these players for their next run of fixtures ? or Need to give more playing time to those that haven't been getting before so as to have them ready for the time when the needs will arise for them ? Because none of their next 7 fixture in the league is going to be by any means be an easy, and it's hard to know how or what Guardiola thinks, which is why I ask if he could be trying to have all his assets on the same page while giving Grealish and the likes more playing time now for the supposedly to be easy fixtures, but he paid a heavy priced, which is duly deserved for being an overthinker.
