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.

SO risky to have players from relegation fodder sides

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.

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

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

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 strongly doubt that any would have that combination in their team,

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

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.

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. 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

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 Smiley - 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
