Can't believe I actually won GW 10, don't even remember it.

But hey, my persistence continues and my captain Saka took my entire team up with his brace + assist... I had all my bench not playing, and 3 players on field also not playing, so I have to say I'm pretty chuffed still managed to get 50+ points from Arsenal + Havertz haha.

I really should have paid attention to FPL much longer, feels nice to be climbing up slowly when I actually make transfers (then again, when you're bottom, going up should be easy, right?).

2nd chance league is better indicator of how I'm doing, which is shitty Wink

I was secretly hoping Fulham would knock United out of the FA Cup so that Chelsea/United fixture in round 32 would not be blank. Welp, Mitro had other plans.  Cheesy

32 is going to be a major pain in the ass because those who blank will almost certainly have a double in 34 (maybe 37). People who have their FH chips available are in a very good position!

Anyways, the last couple of game weeks have been rather good for me (four green arrows in five weeks), finally broke into the top 100k, looking to continue my push for top 50k after the international break.

@icopress Wasn't there some free bets for round winners in this pool? No hurry, just please tag me if/when you are awarding it so that I don't miss it.
Yes, I kept records until week 22 so I'll have to check who won in rounds 23-28.

please do well and tag me too so i don't miss out--- i cant remember but i know too well that i won a round within those GWs. thanks.

Call me a mad man, but I'm going to use it to wager on Chelsea to win both the Premier League and the Champions League this season. I'll be there no matter what.



I got Ledger Nano, as a reward from first GW after WC, not sure what exact round that was
nevertheless, it arrived yesterday, will post photos in this post when I unpack it, but overall thanks to icopress and betnomi for organizing the competition, and I sure do think that I will use this Nano

regarding GW, it seems that my team is sinking, but Dyche has put new energy into Everton, and one more point from the road is collected against Chelsea

I'm glad I only took -8 because I knew it would be a bloody hell of a week. I only had 8 players available for the GW after taking -8, but the return wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.

I literally planned on saving my Free Hit for gameweek 32, but as things currently stands, there is likely to be only just two 2 possible fixtures to be postponed and rescheduled, so I'm better off with it for just this week, but something strange literally happened to, I didn't want to waste my free transfer for the game week, so I first transferred out a couple of players and took a 4 point hit, and that was intentional ahead of the next game week, so the next day I then used my free hit with the hope that my team would return to the squad I had before the free hit, but I guess the freehit rules wasn't very clear to me before, so my team would return to how it was before the at start of the game, and not after I used chip.
GW 32 is small blank but very though to navigate for most teams, there will probably be no fixtures for United, City, Brighton and Chelsea and I will have 6 and possibly even 8 players from those 4 clubs. Defiantly the week to free hit for me.

Did not understand what you wrote about free hit but it works in following way. You get new team for just one match day and afterwards you get your initial team back. All transfers you made before pulling free hit are voided, you will not pay -4 for them but you will also not keep those players.


Edit:
How do you know you are too deep into Fantasy PL? I know I am, I was just reading a tweet which says that Chilwell is doubtful and making a fun of us that transferred him in. One account replies, I did not, his npgi is just 0.3.

I am going what the fuck is npgi and even before I finished that thought, other part of my brain supplies and I go of course, the number is right on point for that as well  Grin

Yeah, thanks I didn't know that's how the free hit works, I felt if had already done a transfer with my free transfer, it wouldn't be part of the reversion after using the free hit, Since I made the transfer prior before, using the chip later, It's all about your team going exactly what it was before the game week., but then I feel FPL should allow keep our usual one free transfer whenever we use the wildcard and free hit, but we still get charged of the free transfer for that week, despite claiming all transfer as free, probably the terms should the first transfer cost us our free transfer for that week and every other transfers are the once we get for free.

____________________

I don't think I'll be having any issue with the blanks for game week 32; the fixtures confirmed so far are;

Liverpool v Nottingham Forest
Brentford v Aston Villa
Crystal Palace v Everton
Leicester v Wolves
Newcastle v Spurs
Arsenal v Southampton
Bournemouth v West Ham

After the double games week, I'm not sure I'll tripple on any team, so I have decent time to make provisions to get at least 7-8 players from the fixtures above, I didn't count but I think, I currently have just Haaland from City, 2 from Man United and 2 more from Brighton, I should be fine for that week, this was my best shot based on our my team is projected, but I understand your point and it does make perfect sense too.

Thin week, but can't really complain after we got some extra points from Toney believers (despite the yellow).

I actually just decided to bench all my team NOT playing, and then putting in two Chelski bois (this is sort of a ragetransfer and semi promise I made to Ige anyway).

Season is like a dream I want to end now, really.

Going to the field with only 8 players after taking a -8 hit is a fucking risk I didn't want to take, it's a week of survival, and my main goal is DGW29 anyways.

Just curious about the Chelsea players you brought in to save your ass- Chilwell and Felix are good choices in any case, and we should easily beat Everton with our current form.
Shouldn't bee too hard too survive this week, not so great games and teams so while I am glad I have all 11 playing I am not expecting to make some great score. Playing in 5-2-3 is definitely a new experience for me Smiley

Guys Solly March has been awarded the goal against Leeds, and Mitoma has been given the assist, but we will not be receiving any points because the FPL rules state that changes can only take effect 1 hour after the official time, and once the score has been updated, there is no further adjustment. Ive been robbed of a goal for March and an assist for Mitoma (C).

The EPL VAR is a shit even after Harrison confessed after the game, they did nothing
It was clear from several angles that it happened that way. It is just that kind of season when nothing goes out way.

I have been robbed of more points since I have March as captain and Mitoma in the team. And goal for midfielders gets 5 points while assist only 3  Grin

We also lost at least 2 and probably 4 bonus points with this decision.


If FPL were to not be affiliated with the PL or weren't organized by them, then their decision would have made an iota of sense, but it's the Fantasy game of the Premier league, not independent fantasy of the Premier League, but it's already a lost cause, and there no point ranting about it any further, Marsch wasn't my captain so, maybe that's why I'm not entirely raged by their decision, but I've got both Mitoma and March in my team, however, I'm rather more looking forward to both Brentford and Brighton keeping the clean sheet now, that's the only remedy for my game week and at least Ivan Toney has already scored a goal already.


EDIT: Ivan Toney just can stay away from being booked, yeah ? Smh!!

I'll take that assist as an apology from Ivan Toney, and Mission Accomplised with both teams keeping a clean slate for the night, must be nice  Tongue Total disaster completely averted  Cheesy

<...>

I recall how quickly FPL reacted to award Kane that phantom assist in GW20 against City. A popular name with high ownership, i mean who would say no to some assist points for free, his shot was rather going towards the sideline than it was shot on goal, but hey... March on the other hand, low overall ownership, probably only seasoned fpl players had him or Mac Allister in their teams, so who cares if he scored or not,...as you said, it was clear from multiple angles but why bother.


Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Kvaradona are all playing tonight...the hell with them....give me Brighton and Brentford.  Cheesy





^^^ IT'S HAPPENING!!! ^^^  Tongue

I would scream so hard if March scores tonight, it will be justice for his owners. By the way, that first screenshot is from Palace/Brighton match last month.
Karma strikes in 15th minute, Mitoma for March and we have the points we deserved to get in last game   Grin Now it is time that they deliver something more.

Other game is still 0:0 and looks like it could stay that way for quite some time. Now switching to CL when Real - Liverpool starts.

Showing off my bench (to make you feel better).

~snip

chasing DGW with Brighton and Brentford as main teams is a no-no (maybe this will not aged well)

have put Free-Hit into this round, and probably took less points than just by playing my team, but Odegaard was dubbed ill, some other players from my team also injured and decided to polish it for this round with Brentford and Brighton players, but they were not even close to clean-sheets or scoring, maybe that will change on Wednesday, but Southampton is not conceiving easy, as United pointed out on Sunday

Couldn't finish with anything different after that cancelled goal for March (my captain) and with Martinelli plus Zinchenko on my bench. At least I have Kane in my team and he had a nice score. And of course I still have 6 players with another fixture to get me some more points. Than we will see if it is a red arrow. I am actually doing good in some other leagues this week.

This is by far my worst season ever in PL never even got in top 1M. And I have never in my life finished above 1M. Top 50k is my goal every season, got it twice so far.

That disallowed goal hurt my rank as well, and Drawin and Salah didn't help either, as both players returned only 2 pointers. Now, with 4 players left to play, I'm looking forward to mid games as well. I'm hoping for another Toney blank.

My current fpl rank is 1.8m, which is my highest ever. lol
