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.

Chalobah, Apzi, and Koulibaly are all fit, so I don't expect many changes at the back, but 3 at the back is another option, and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts Cucurela ahead of the other CB options.

Today's game week is the only one I'm not sure about. Leicester appears to be the only team with a less intense game this weekend, I had to replace Mitrovic with Daka and give up 4 points to get Maddison in my midfield. I have three Arsenal players in my squad, so if anything goes wrong, I'm in big trouble.

not sure about the rules, but, you still have Salah? balls of steel, eh Cheesy

every week i see him among the Top Transfers out list, i thought we all got rid of him weeks ago

and I am Everton fan, been questioning myself about loyalty regarding Salah (but he was not part of my team till this round, basically changed Son for him, so it was not that bad, Son was worse) - initially started season with both of them

but you are right, it is about having same team as everyone else, there is just to little data from stats that counts towards scoring points, for any player that is not scoring or assist to be in for a team (this screw me up, I use to play Sorare, and that is completely different, see below what is included in Haaland performance in Sorare, and what counts towards the score)

https://sorare.com/players/erling-haland

interesting fact, he was fouled only once on whole match

Vice captain only kicks in if your captain did not play a single minute. Basically same as subs. You probably made just that change and forgot to hit save/confirm or whatever that button says.

Im deciding that its finally about time for me to drop VVD out of my draft. I has had him since the league start and so far he gets 1-2 points each week except for that one week that Liverpool won spectacularly against Bournemouth

I had triple Liverpool players at the start of the season but i dropped all of them in the span of 1-2 GW. First Salah, then Robertson because of injuries and finally TAA. VVD is having a disaster season as well... It's like everyone in Liverpool decided to shit the bed at the same, so unlucky

Also started with 3 players from LFC, first one out was Robertson but I got Diaz in same transfers, then later on I got rid of Salah and Arnold on wildcard. Diaz is still in my team and he is the only LFC player maybe worth his price tag. And I very much want to have 1 or 2 LFC players from GW12 onward. Unfortunately I will probably have to sell him this week to fit Zaha in.

^ Maddison absolutely crushed it tonight! I expected him to get a return or two, dude was literally all over the place and just one goal away of topping Haaland's 23 points.

Extremely good round for me as i was able to reach 100 points (103 to be exact), in a non DGW with no chips used that's pretty decent, only 15 points of Top 10k... Shocked

I wonder how likely is someone to have had them all this week, i mean Haaland, Trossard, Bowen, Foden and Maddison? Unlikely, right?

...Ward with a clean sheet and a save point, lol that's a first.

I was preaching about Maddison troughout whole last week and I am super happy it paid of for once. My first proper green arrow this season.

Now it is time to find a way to bring Zaha to my team without using extra transfers. Will be though to pull that one.

Kudos bro! It was literally well deserved Cool

Not captaining Haaland was the biggest flop of the GW especially because almost everyone else did, that's me throwing away 18 points and I could only imagine if I had kept Trossard in too, but just never can tell before hand , c'est la vie!

I also said this before the beginning of the game week with the idea for having Ward in instead of Sa, that's just another inaction to regret, lol.

Amusing

You know when I first saw this, I wondered whats the big idea and even up to this moment, I still don't get it! Like, how many points can Pope really produce even in the event of a clean sheet? Compared to what some users have now in Erling Haaland!

Erling Haaland is such a cheat in the FPL and I wish I had him on my team far before I did and even got to captain him. Like, he earned 46 points in just one game if you have him as your captain, that's as much as Gabriel Jesus has earned in his entire game week. Just a difference of 1 point, that's sick!

and finally a backline with Trippier-Cancelo-James with Pope/Sá as GK?? feels like if you don't have at least half of that template in your team already then you can write off this season Cheesy

I might get Cancelo this week and complete my Trippier-Cancelo-Pope template ( although I might use Ramsdale in between ). Im deciding that its finally about time for me to drop VVD out of my draft.

We joined Team Haaland waaay too late, but hey, there's still 29 GW to go so, let's hope we didn't jinx the guy and he continues breaking premier league records
~snip

had him, but released him after first hat-trick, expected that it is not going to happen anytime soon, and he has three now
permacap from now on

- he will chase all records this season with this start

also had Tarkowski (had to have one from my favorite team), and Everton is best defense in league (7 goals conceived), but only two clean-sheets so far
thought that will lose more because of Haaland, but still within top5 in our league

have to do some reconstruction in following weeks

what about C and V - pretty sure that I captained Salah, but results says that it is Kane (and he was V, with better score this round), is there any rule regarding this

That makes two of us! Team Haaland! come rain, come shine... Since everyone would be on the same page, there is nothing to lose with that.

My week wouldn't have been worse, if not for the Trossard blunder and Salah believe lol, I've got so much to do now, I'm just glad I didn't leave Emerson Royal on the line up, and he'll remain on there bench, I'd rather take the drop in price than waste the transfer to get another defender in.

We joined Team Haaland waaay too late, but hey, there's still 29 GW to go so, let's hope we didn't jinx the guy and he continues breaking premier league records

And yeah i'm also gonna keep Emerson on the sidelines for a few weeks. I need to find a window to get rid of a couple of players, probably Emerson and definitely Fornals, the latter is literally useless, waste of money

The fact that almost all of the other players in the pool have similar attacking players is boring.

What's the most popular/boring template right now? Haaland-Toney-Mitro, then KDB-Maddison-Saka + 1 more, and finally a backline with Trippier-Cancelo-James with Pope/Sá as GK?? feels like if you don't have at least half of that template in your team already then you can write off this season Cheesy

Yup, all I need to do is NOT do anything and I can actually climb one spot up. I really have to haul ass but keep putting it off and before you know it, game week happens.

I'm same as Trofo. Give up. Haaland captain until he breaks, if ever.

Can't believe I even took Firmino out to sacrifice for more midfielders...

Heck yeah, I just realized that I would have gotten way higher points this week even if I left my entire draft without touching it. This is what I get for trying to be a smart ass Roll Eyes

That is one of the thoughest things to do in fantasy, just leave your team intact if underlying stats are good. We all have the need to chase the points but those points are gonne.

Not gonna be the case with Haaland obviously, but now heaps of people will buy Trossard or Bowen and it is quite unlikely that they will repeat this GW perfomance soon.

Just read a great post on twitter regarding Haaland, this was from the guy who tried to be fancy and gave the captain band to somebody else. Paraphrased quote goes like "That is it, I give up, from now on Haaland permacaptain, even in GW12 when City doesn't have the game. He will find a way for hat trick anyway Huh

"

LOL, I probably would have done the same as this guy from now on. Imagine changing your captain band expecting that Haaland probably would not get that many points this GW then somehow this guy got 23 points lol. Im going to perma captain Haaland as well from now on unless if he is somehow injured or there is an indication that he wont be playing full time

Is it possible to make a team secret until the game starts? possibly the same pattern in superbru

No, it works a bit different in FPL. Everybody can see your previous GW team, but nobody can see your current GW team before game updates, usually around half time of the first game in GW. Meaning we know what players you had but don't know what transfers you made or if you used any chips. Same goes for captains, nobody knows who is your captain in normal seasons. This season we know it is Haaland or if it isn't, that person is already so far behind that it doesn't really matter

Exactly, no one can see your current team until after the week deadline, it's just like superbru but there is no option of locking your to see every other persons one.

I was happy with my 80 points so far, but then almost everybody got high points in that range this GW anyway.

That's actually funny ngl, but it's the truth Grin

What I got is the current week's average, 59 points, I feel so undone with Salah terrible form, but you never just know when he'd bounce back, Liverpool have scored 18 goals so far and just a mere two from Salah, very surreal!

I really just wish I followed my gut, I had Aubameyang initially at least that'd have given me 5 points than what Salah accrued.

The fact that almost all of the other players in the pool have similar attacking players is boring. My only mistake this week was switching Kane for deadwood Mitrovic, who gave me 0 points. I still have the Leicester goalkeeper in my team for tomorrow's game, and I'm hoping to get at least 4 points from him to reach 80+ at the very least.
