Mount finally paid for itself since I brought him to my team in week 8.

By the way, who has any ideas who to make the captain for the 13th game week? I see that Zaha hasn't scored for a long time and Chelsea's upcoming game looks promising, but statistically I don't think Mount can score double-digit points for three weeks in a row.
I knew his goal drought was getting into his head just as I was planning to replace Maddison with Mount in my team, and boom, I missed another transfer deadline!!

Is there a way to get notified about transfer deadlines, similar to the email alerts I get from Superbru??

Edit:
Oh... I meant week 12 (a few hours left and I still haven't decided who will be the captain)
Salah. Thank me later.

I've had my own fair share of being unlucky too, my wild card has been my biggest curse so far this season, everything was going fine until I used it and every move I've made since then has turned out for the worse, I'm already taking a 8 point hit, but I'm 0.6m short of funds.

I'll probably find away around it, but that might cost me another 4 points deficit, ffs!

Speaking of bench player, since a lot of people are going to user their bench players in GW12, do you think this is THE time to use the bench boost? or will people save their chips for the upcoming double GWs?
Don't really understand what you mean. Bench boost chip allows your bench players to play, in other words you have 15 players collecting points in that GW.

This GW everybody has problems fielding first 11 let alone 15 players. Worst week ever to use bench boost  Grin

Bench boost is for double GW when everyone has 2 games and we have a strong bench.

Uh oh, Diogo Jota owners https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1581919232077361154

I got rektd hard  Grin I almost heave more points on my bench than in my first 11, every single player on the bench getting a return.
Bummer.

Looks like its a bad week for draft with captained Haaland  Roll Eyes
wasted (C) armband, but, almost everyone in FPL captained Haaland,, so there's that

how did you guys do today? looks like i got 45 pts

Only 51 points for me and I choose to go with 3-4-3 this time. This is probably the first time ever since we play that my entire back line actually got higher points combined alongside the goalkeeper. Total of 31 out of 51 points just from 3 defenders and 1 goalkeeper, also another defenders on the bench that actually got 8 points lol

I was sure this one will have a lot of goals in it and I left defenders on the bench and played Zaha & Maddison. They really awarded me for the trust, especially Maddison. He went out of my team while still walking towards the tunnel  Grin

'Free Transfers' are risky af:

- free transfer Emerson Royal
- returns 1 pt and then gets suspended for 3 games
- free transfer Luis Diaz
- gets injured
- free transfer Trossard
- two blanks in a row
- free transfer Haaland
- becomes average
Looking forward to seeing my new free transfer in GW12, he'll probably score an own goal and then he'll get sent off. FML

Kilman should be able to get at least 2 points for me
oh, so there are several Kilman owners here, eh? Kilman gang, rise up!!  Grin
Y'all geniuses out here. I have really looked into the Wolves defence for any transfer but, Max Kilman is making the numbers in point good for a defender. 2 points is the least you could ask for as a 90minutes play guarantees that but hey, Wolves is one team that is good at cleans sheets due to a strong defence line in the EPL although, they nearly lost it today with pressure mounted on the defence by Nottingham Foeest around the 70-80mins. Good one Jose Sa was able to save a penalty, living a clean sheet points to the defenders and Max Kilman produced 4. A good day for me actually, getting 14points from Sa.

I really wished I had waited for Friday or Thursday before making my transfers, I wouldn't have jumped in on the Reece James, I would gone have for Perisic or perhaps Ait-Nori, or the Killman bandwagon, and If Emerson Royal hadn't been stupid for the red card against Arsenal too, that would have been two more clean sheets to my teams, but I'm literally done with the what ifs and buts, so I've got Killman for the next couple of fixtures and might get back to Perisic if Conte is going to give more time too.

Is anyone else thinking of potentially having Andreas into their squad for certain fixtures, if one of their midfield of defenders is bound to have tough game like City or Liverpool for instance.

Mitro owners, rejoice


Mitrovic back from the dead!  Grin 

I've literally been very unlucky with transfer, I just got Salah last during week due the knock against Arsenal and replaced him with Trossard and Reece James immediately after the game against Arsenal, and that's a transfer gone down the drain

Early transfers rarely pay off! I burned myself on several occasions last year trying to bring in players early (to catch/avoid price rises/falls and such), despite the fact that there are midweek fixtures and anything can happen.

Maddison killed my hopes with that yellow towards the end of the match. That is his 5th and he is suspended, wouldn't be so bad if it isn't for that problematic GW12. Now I have to go with minus points transfers again if I decide to field 11 players.

Did i say yesterday that i don't plan on taking hits and would have 11 players to field in gw12, yeah well, i would like to retract that statement  Cheesy ...getting yellow for a dive in the last minute of the game is pure FPL trolling.

lol I saw Maddison trending on twitter and i thought "lucky bastard scores again!!1"... turns out it was a late yellow card and tons of people were losing their minds because they used their chips to put Maddison in their team. What a legend  Grin

In the last week and a half, Mitrovic's price dropped twice, yikes!
Mitro owners in the mud.
~snip

sometimes is better to not know the rules, intended to sell Mitrovic few weeks ago, but did not know that there is a gap between selling price and actual price, based on your purchase price, and when told, decided to keep him - from that point on, he delivered nothing
And then of course Fulham match starts and Mitrović is on the pitch Smiley Not any returns for him in the first half though.

Solanke is on the fire for Bournemouth and I thought he will be a troll and skipped just over him without even seriously considering him.

my team is going down last few weeks, but it does takes to much effort to follow all the news, and basically Sorare is more important for me, so prioritized that over FPL, but pushing on both fronts

joined Kilman team, should be clean sheet this week

the manager had a press conference today and it was the same bs from last week, he keeps beating around the bush about Mitro's situation saying that they're assessing him, trying to see if he's fit to play on the weekend, literally same script as last week lol tbh, i expect him to miss this GW as well, price drop could reach -0.3M, oof!

I was really surprised to see so many of us went with Kilman, i guess we are all sick of premium defenders not delivering so we might as well have cheap defenders not delivering Smiley



Never thought Brendford had it in them to win 2:0 against Brighton. I was afraid for not owning Trossard and in the end got 10 points from Raya. Kudos to all of you with Toney as well, nice 12 points for him.

As of now, i've no plans of taking any hits in GW12 or anytime soon. I should have 11 players to field, but getting the captaincy for GW12 right could be critical. We could see some significant rank movements in that week.
I had no plans of taking hits as well and then that James injury happens. But I am not complaining it is what it is and I would probably just waited if there isn't that blank GW12 looming ahead. This way I am actually paying -2 for the transfer since Kilman should be able to get at least 2 points for me and I know I have to remove Jesus in GW 12 to field 11 players.

There is a lot of rumors floating around about James, only certain thing is that he will take his scans during the weekend then we will know for sure. But since there is talk about missing WC I am sure he is missing GW11 and GW12 and that was enough to pull the trigger.

Rumous say James could miss the WC due to injury.

I've already found his replacement (Kilman - Wolverhampton). He's been the Wolves player with the highest return (30 pts)

I also got rid of Reece for Kilman, can't afford another 0.1 drop in team value. In the last week and a half, Mitrovic's price dropped twice, yikes!

Speaking of the devil, at least we know he's alive and may or may not play this week lol, he's just getting ready for the World Cup and couldn't care less about anything else is all, i don't want to hear about any injuries...
