I am not worried for you, it shows that you know what you are doing and I am starting to get a bit pessimistic about my chances of getting in front of you

Plenty of time still, lots of matches to be played, and lots of bad decisions to be taken (lol), nothing in the pool is decided and probably won't be until the end...

Now only if Nico Willams is benched for Aurier that would be ideal as i have Nico (who by the way was horrible vs. Leicester) as first sub and Pereira (and his 6 points) as second sub.

Does anyone know exactly how the FPL bonus points system works?

Player A: plays the full 90min and scores a goal, gets zero bonus points.
Player B: comes in as a sub in the 80min, scores a goal and gets on 3 bonus points Huh

love me some mind games alright. Got 10 pts from Martinelli Wink

You got 12 points from Martinelli actually, bonus points get added a couple of hours after the game finishes. He should get 2, Saka 3 and Firminho 1, not really close so I don't see a way for that to change.

Hope you guys don't have defenders from these 2 clubs, most of them with 1 pointers with couple of 2 pointers or 0 points thrown in the mix

How is having James any better with Chelsea keeping a clean sheet and he was left on the bench for most of it, lol. I had plan of taking an -8 hit to get him (James) and Rahsford in, that would have been an epic fail of -5 point and I also would have lost 6 points that I'd get from Andreas, that's a potential 11 point disadvantage for this gw. Maybe Aubameyang not playing too, is actually a blessing in disguise, because if he had ended up with just one or two points, there will be no Andreas getting auto subbed in.

I'm having a night mare of run to be honest barely getting above or below the weekly average, the wildcard seemed to have done more harm to me than good, I should have sticked to my GW12 idea of using it, but it is what it is and smooth see never makes a good sailor.

Finally I can bring myself to getting rid of Salah with that injury, not me think Arsenal would be a redemption plan for him, but then again... I'm already navigating a 12 point deficit for game week 10 Sad

-snip

About 80% of our pool has Jeseu and Salah, it won't help me much if they both score; instead, I'd like Martinelli to do the scoring because most managers don't have him on their team. That's mind game Cheesy

I have De Bruyne though instead of Salah. I used to have Salah then replaced him with De Bruyne and this is probably the best decision I've made lol. Anyway, Martinelli scored and assisted so he totally saved my ass this week so Im up by 2 points from the average points this week.

Gotta shape up for the upcoming GW though as I have bunch of Newcastle players and they will play against Manchester United next week

I just realized this like 15 minutes ago that we could opt to use 5 midfielders and 3 defenders or any other way around it like 3 strikers or so instead of the regular standard 4-4-2 draft huh. Dang it, I didnt know about this before lol

Talk about wasting a free transfer,, Luis Diaz with the assist but he gets injured right before HT so he doesn't earn the 60min bonus pts. Ffs, so unlucky. Well, time to look for another player to jinx with my free transfer

btw, Liverpoo 11th in the league table, some teams have one game in hand and Liverpoo will face City next week. Grim. I reckon liverpoo will be much closer to relegation zone than top 4 at the end of the month

You checked about ownership in our pool or just guessing? I did not check but I am quite sure that more people should have Martinelli at this stage of the season than Salah. And good percentage of those that aren't even playing any more have Salah in their teams for sure so those percentages should be even more in favor of Martinelli.

I always beat Buwaytress in the pool, and I'm just making sure Hhampuz and Smartvirus stay behind me. I'm coming for you, trofo.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm not exactly the best guy to be benchmarking against haha. I know I should be paying a lot more attention to FPL, and I promised to do better with changing my team lineups but at least I'm paying it more attention than last season.

Progress every season, maybe by 2 future FPL pools I'll get in the hang of it?

But watch your backs, guys. I'm letting you all off easy and contributing to the prize pot. (Seriously why did I even participate haha).

I always give up after two or three games, but it's been fun and I want to keep competing

It gets kinda competitive on smaller pool I guess but it could be pretty boring on larger pool especially when you are at the bottom half of the table since the start of the season or something.

And it's even more exciting when you have 2-3 people in mind to beat in the pool; I'm currently ahead of the others, but this Harkorede guy keeps beating me in every pool; he's my number one target in both the EPL and FPL pools, but the closer I get, the farther he gets.

I'm banking on Diaz, Jesus and Martinelli to show up with goals and assists tomorrow,, I'm also going with the BTTS & Over 2.5 combo, goals galore incoming (inb4 goalless draw)

Chelsea BTTS & Over 2.5 ruined my Acca yesterday I'm afraid the Liverpool game might end with 0-0 or 1-1 FT.

And he scored!!! Hmmm

Not that bad of a round so far, still a couple of players left to play. Haaland scoring only one feels like a blank, well he was close to a second but hit the post (FH).

I had to take my first hit of the season, navigating bgw12 without hits is/will be almost impossible, so i decided to do it early. Both players who i took out had attacking returns, i just need Zaha to get something tomorrow otherwise i might end on a red arrow, unless of course, Bowen with his low ownership gets another haul. 🙏

I am not worried for you, it shows that you know what you are doing and I am starting to get a bit pessimistic about my chances of getting in front of you

GW 12 will be a total bitch to navigate, problem is when I drop all those premiums on the bench I have to count on guys like Pereira and Emerson (cheap one) to get me points

Zaha was the player to get for this GW, that run of fixtures until Wold Cup looks unbelievably good. Also went -4 so I could get him this week. It doesn't really matter what Haaland does as long as everybody has him as a captain. It doesn't move you up or down the ladder.

Haaland only scored 1 goal but yeah this is still a good achievement for him as he kept on scoring on most of the games but honestly we are expecting more from Haaland if we play fantasy especially when most players have him as the captain Tongue

If I'm assured that Haaland will score just one goal per game until the end of the season, I probably would never have in as my captain, because I can easily pick other options week in, week out, but the problem is when he score 3-4 goals without having to do too much, he could have easily picked up 3-4 goals today, mostly by just tiniest margins of miss-passes or not decisive touches, that's how easy it would be for him all season long in as much as he stays fit, he's got every potential and there's literally no defense in the world right capable for keeping him at bay if the City supply line is functional.

Quote from: tomahawk9 on October 08, 2022, 01:02:46 PM

SO risky to have players from relegation fodder sides

Yeah, but I probably would still arrive at the same decision 9/10 times if I'm to choose between Sa playing this Chelsea side and Ward vs Bournemouth that have scored just 6-18 before this game, including 9-0 haul at the hand of "glitch in the matrix" Liverpool I'm sure that sounds familiar 😂

Yikes perisic not starting as a lineup and only gets 10 minutes of playing time.

I'm so pissed, where is Halaand? He's holding my captain's band. Halaand and is so wash.

scored one goal... meh

First GW with Haaland on my team and... it was pretty dissapointing Roll Eyes

But still, i've got 49 pts today, newcastle and man city players with the highest returns, pretty great. However, Trossard, my free transfer in this GW, has been awful today. It appears i'm a bit unlucky withthe free transfers, everytime i use them i fail to see any returns lol

Lol everyone improved over time and I'm getting worse with each GW after topping the table earlier on, I've been moving from 8-9 the last 5 GWs. My team always has 1-2 injured players. I got Maddison for free after his last week performance, only to have him give me a single point. This is the longest I've ever played FPL. I always give up after two or three games, but it's been fun and I want to keep competing. I'm hoping Jesus and Salah put on good shows tomorrow, scoring at least one goal each.

FFS! Potter couldn't handle the pressure and he didn't have any other choice but to put Pulishit in the starting XI. Sterling on the bench too. Over 40% of fpl coaches in the mud Lips sealed

#PotterOut

and i was about to make some memes about hitting 100 pts in the GW, fml

edit* forget about James. Cancelo believers, where we at? (:

I want to believe Potter is much more having concerned about the Champions League, 2nd leg coming up vs AC Milan because he's started both James and Aubameyang against them during the midweek and I don't want to believe he just suddenly drops them to bench because he wasn't impressed well enough by them.

I guess that's what you get for having a new coach, you just never know with them...

Yet still, my theory on Ward vs Jose Sa proves to be right again, I'd have had a point more sticking with Sa, but Leicester had me fooled with their mid week performance.

James is on the bench, along with more than seven first-team players. What is Potter up to? Wolves are one of the league's most dangerous teams, so I'm not too confident in this game. Pulisic is in the starting IX Lol. If we get a draw in this game, it will be a fair result for us. Wolves is getting at least two goals in this game.

Bro, the #Potterout campaign is too early; he's done nothing and, for the time being, I'm not going to criticize him until FT; at the very least, Pulisic fans will be able to see how washed he's become over the years. With those open goal chances, he would have had an HT hattrick if he was even close to being a good finisher.

So far, Daka over Mitrovic is a good swap. And why does Cancelo have to score today, I'm so pissed, where is Halaand? He's holding my captain's band. Halaand and is so ~~wash~~ good.

Edit: he scored and I'm looking like an idiot Grin

I'm getting outdone by injuries and suspensions, I was fine with Emerson Royal playing out his suspension on the bench of my team, but I'm already phased with another Fofana injury, just when Chelsea seems to getting their shits together, how typical and I really cant just make a reasonable transfer by taking either of them out because of their fee are relatively cheap and others in the price bracket are either awful or not worth the transfer... decision, decision, decision 🤔

That Fofana injury is a bitch, don't have him but it finally seemed Chelsea will play with 5 at the back with James at his favorite right wing back position. He immediately scored a goal and assisted another one. Now we can see him utilized as RB in 4 at the back or even worse as center back if they keep 5 at back.
Fofana should be out for almost a month I think so that is it for him before WC and free transfers.

If I was Chelsea manager I would do anything to keep James at RWB. They are just so much more dangerous in attack with him there.

I managed to get Zaha in my team, so hopefully this one will pay off as Maddison did last week. Zaha is not that explosive but I expect small and steady returns from him all the way to WC. He is set and forget with great fixtures for CP, hopefully he will stay fit.

I tried not to provoke lady luck this week again, so I left my squad untouched and I would make better use of them next week, I don't want take any points hit for a defender if I'm not guaranted a clean sheet, and I don't have any defender I'm convinced would give me one.

I settled for Neco Williams at the back and then I settled for Ward in place of Jose Sa, the latter being a move that have most points every time I go for it, and whenever I return back to default as well.

If there was any player I'd rather have right now, it's going to be in midfield and that's Marcus Rashford.
