Because of being busy with my work, i couldn't find a chance to take care of my fantasy team but i'm still happy as my team got more points than the average. I'm thinking of using wildcard next week.Do you think it is the right time? I especially want to add Palmer to my squad.His absence harmed me very much.

Are we gradually nearing when Haaland would be the most sold player for a game week, or it’s the captain armband that should heavily changing soon ?
The moment you sell Haaland, that is when he will start scoring. Manchester City were lucky today; Wolves deserved at least a point for their effort.

Ain't that right! I couldn't agree more, and it literally takes him 1 or 2 good games to always make up for lost points, and looking at how easier City games looks, have him is a no brainer.

Anyone else has a bad week? From what i see in this round an avg point is around 20 points. Just awful i dont have a single player with a goal or assist i think its just impossible. Not even a single clean sheet and as expected Saka did not play

Yeah I knew it would be a poor week with Konsa and Saka unlikely to play (hamstrings are not 75% chance as FPL predicted, as cryptofrka also notes, they're a lot riskier to start as aggravation is almost certain) -- but I got lucky with Salah goal + assist and full bonus points as captain. Another week where I got the captaincy right (Saka being my previous one) -- so I'm keeping in touch with the top 10 just by picking the right captain!

What a weird game week. Was a bad choice to sell Salah, the guy always punishes me when I do it.
Not sure what to do with Foden - he'll probably start the CL game. I want to have him - but as Harko said, not the smartest thing to have him if he won't be playing week in week out.

Not much gained or lost as it stands now - so back to the drawing board. I need to start catching up on icopress though.

I didn't know you sold Salah, until I checked and wondered why you weren't above me (given your amazing performance pre-Liverpool). It's crazy we're doing all we can and still can't break the top 5. I was half a moment away from using my free transfer for Gvardiol but I thought I was going to fall victim to overhype.

Arsenal’s next 3 fixtures; Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea.
Chelsea next 3 fixtures; Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal 🤔
Liverpool has Arsenal, Brighton and Aston Vila, so I guess I'm going to have to stick with my Mo' Salah most likely for a really long time, he's proving to be a worthy asset..

Haaland can score from nowhere to me; he needs very few chances and touches on the ball to score even in games where he is well shadowed. Wolves did a good job to make sure he did not have any meaningful opportunity.

Not talking about his finishing abilities, I'm talking about him creating chances out of nothing and scoring without anyone putting it on the plate for him. He struggles everytime KDB is not on the team. This is common knowledge.

Are you sure? There's still the tempting Bournemouth fixture after that.  Wink

Yes, if he shits me out against a weak Southampton, I would have no stomach to captain him against a tricky Bounemouth team.

Could this be something to look out for after the international breaks? I mean how could all teams seem to do so badly and once again, Haaland blanked! It wouldn’t have even mattered should I have picked Palmer for Captaincy, he was up for the same points as Haaland, Saka didn’t feature and that summed up the GW for me.

@Igebotz, I suppose you got those points you mentioned, another red arrow for me, so below average in this round and that’s not what I hoped to see.
Woods have got to give me something by the morrow, I’ll be looking forward to it when they play Crystal Palace.

I've had enough of him, but he's not causing me any serious headaches since more than half of the pool have him.
Hhampuz is doing very well without Haaland in his team; I like how his team has been put together.

The midfield isn't providing much; nothing gets through to him, and he's not the kind to score out of nowhere;

One last dance against Southampton, and that's it.

One last dance against Southampton, and that's it.

The only upside of this is that the non-Halaand teams are barely catching up on Halaand's (GW 1- GW 6) total points. We've reached a point when scoring 30 points matters so much. Lol  Grin

Salah would have scored more than a goal; he was brilliant in the game. I had Arnold, but I was not certain of Liverpool's defense against Chelsea, who are a very good attacking side.

I was lucky to have played Gvardiol.

Anyone else has a bad week? From what i see in this round an avg point is around 20 points. Just awful i dont have a single player with a goal or assist i think its just impossible. Not even a single clean sheet and as expected Saka did not play

I captined Solanke as I was playing the matchup, sure enough they win with 4-1 but he got 0 goal contributions  Grin  I also had Saka in the lineup  Roll Eyes

I think i just suck at fantasy. From week to week i do bad picks and i dont have an idea what to do next or let alone comeback into the race and try and do something to get some big points

Okay... here's a hint.

I think my team will stay the same for a couple of weeks, with Haaland as captain.

p.s. The irony is that I don’t need to do anything now... almost no one has either Palmer or Salah, and especially not both at once.

Not exactly the fixture that I thought I’d be getting my best points from, but I’ll take it. Nicolas Jackson and Salah partially saved my game week from an utter disaster, but at the cost of Sanchez and TAA defensive returns too.

I kept Saka, don't mind him not playing because Rogers scored from the bench. Would have probably replaced him with Garnacho or Eze - so not many points lost there.
Let's see what Salah does today - I feel he's a good player to take off your books considering Slot will have to rotate heavily in the upcoming games and he's shown already Salah is a part of the rotation now.

I feel good about this round, I feel Foden is a smart risk at this point in the season and Wood should be a decent option as well. Let's get that freebet Cool


Foden really is a smart risk, but only if he's playing right, I already heavily considered him as my next premium target, but as it stands, I might just keep it at Salah, Saka or Palmer if I can afford 2 of these 3 would be nice, at least I know they'll always play or start even if they're on crutches.  Took a peep at Man City's starting XI for Wolves and the glass guy would be starting from the bench, if he'll be getting any playing minutes. One of the worse things in FPL is to have premium priced player that you can't always be sure he'd start, especially when one have chosen to give the less priority to the bench.

Salah seemingly have lost his mojo, with the number chances he's gotten this season, a clinical Salah would have had more goals than Haaland, but he's still having the most playing time of any other Liverpool attacker.

I also missed it on Saka prediction to play:'(
I had a feeling it will be like this when Arteta said something on the line it is nothing serious. He is always lying trough his teeth to try and get something on mind game field. I think he should rather start talking with the players to stop getting unnecessary red cards.

I would have felt much better about Saka if he said something like doesn't look good but we will asses him before the match. Than he would have played for sure.
Time to see how much my intended transfer of Saka to Foden will cost me today.

Also I see on twitter that people are making a coup against content creators. Apparently lot of them made last minute Saka out transfers and everyone justified it as a quirk while they think Saka will play. Bastards are also lying to us it seems. Good thing I don't watch them regularly.

Arsenal backline has been spreading legs like Mia Khalifa ever since I got Gabriel.. No single clean sheet.
Such a shame! very embarrassing for us to loose to Bournemouth. Sterling is such a shitty player, Arteta made a mistake starting him again. Arteta needs to trust players like Ethan Nwaneri for these games.

Merino did not impress me as well too, he needs to justify the money we spent on him.

Only Halaand and Palmer can save me from this bloodbath GW, it's being a crazy day of football, kept Kudus against all odds only for him to score and get Red just when I thought things were getting better.
They wouldn’t eventually, not because they are unlikely to perform well, of course that too is a possibility but, with them being on 80% of teams, I suppose am not exaggerating that, you just might be adding same points to all, just parallel and M. Salah too. Captaincy might be what plays a role here but again, just a few would miss out on whatever.
What I look to is the bench, to replace my injured player like Saka but, the most I would be getting from the bench is just 3 points. Don’t know about you guys but, we would soon find out where the GW places its yardstick on the lines of crazy.

I understand you but there are not too many teams with Halaand and Palmer on it, not mentioning the captaincy chip. Better to stay on the green arrow than having a red..
