What’s the news on J. Pedro, not finding nothing on the thread.

Most likely a result of him returning late from the international break.

Brighton were forced to make a significant change for their Premier League game against Ipswich with Joao Pedro unavailable.

The 22-year-old has made an excellent start to the new season, scoring two goals in three games, and had been rewarded with a call-up to the Brazil squad.

Pedro played the second half of Brazil’s midweek defeat against Paraguay and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler had been optimistic that his No.9 would be able to feature against the Tractor Boys having arrived back late from international duty.

————————

I didn’t watch Brighton vs Ipswich match if my source is correct, Brighton did had 21 goal attempts and 6+ shots on target, If those numbers are correct then It’s surprising that they couldn’t get all 3 points from the match as they’ve done about enough to have secured the W.

Cryptofrka is lucky to have Watkins; big consolation for missing out on captaining Haaland.

Not really lucky, I planned to take him for this patch of games. He was a top pick last season and his slow start means nothing - he'll be one of my key players this season again.
I'm really furious because I had 3 captain doubts - Trofo can confirm. I told him Haaland was the obvious choice but that I liked Watkins too, and ended up captaining Salah who's the only one with no contributions.

Shame but it is what it is - you win some, you lose some. Watkins did help to reduce the deficit for not captaining the guy the whole world captained today.

Watkins scores again for Aston Villa, and there is still enough time for him to get a hattrick on his return to scoring. Everton is about to lose two consecutive games after leading by two goals.

I couldn’t believe the brace he got but, he got it anyways and such a come back they archived after letting Everton lead them by 2 goals to nothing early in the first half. That first goal by a combination of Digne and Watkins in the first half did set the pace for a recovery in the second half. Watkins did me dirty though and had to send him right back to the market.
A huge faith by Cryptofrka on Watkins, it did pay off.

Well guys close this game, or change the name to Fantasy Haaland, is imposible to battle for anything without him.

And for worst City dominance in the league seems like is gonna still again in this season, Liverpool? What are you doing? Im starting to doubt about Arne, is like a diet Liverpool compared with the Kloop one.

About Joao Pedro WHY he isnt in the bench at least? He play only 30 minutes the other day with Brazil so.....

I dont know what happen.

Watkins finally finds the net, I doubt most of you would be getting the most of this from him.

I need Salah to get more than 4 points than Saka and Isak combined in second half just to break even.

Salah was completed disconnected today, Moreno made sure that Salah did not have the chance and space. Really poor and unexpected performance from Liverpool, who have not conceded any goal this season and then lost and conceded a goal in the same day, a home game. Good, I kept my captaincy option with Haaland, who I knew would channel his grief to get a good performance in his friend's honor.

I did my utmost in trying to get Salah in along with some of the leagues favorites over the course of the international break upon activating my WC but, it couldn’t go with the budget. Had to let Salah be in the market and ensured I had Haaland whom have been the cheat code for the beginning of this season and he didn’t disappoint me. Haaland goes on to score a brace while, M. Salah gets nothing. Something I ought to have done a long 2GWs ago.

Watkins finally finds the net, I doubt most of you would be getting the most of this from him. Jamie Vardy has been phenomenal for Leicester City, the old man just knows his job and doesn’t fail in getting the points and his priced good too.

Yay, please all idiots who thought Salah outscores Haaland this GW raise your hands.
Shit, nobody? Just me? Figures..

That's what you get if you go against a guy with consecutive hattricks. Today might be 3rd one in a row, while Salah hasn't done a thing so far.

Liverpool with the complete let down for me too, I would have been happy had they kept their cleansheet even if Salah didn't do nothing offensively, I anticipated that the attacking returns from Jota/Diaz would reduce so I switched to a double at the back with Trent-Arnold and Robertson, with the intention of saving a few millions off having Jota/Diaz but in the ended, still looks good going forward anyways.

Aside the two first games that Ipswich played in the EPL against two big teams, I feel they have a pretty good defensive line. Last GW3 draw to Fulham and today's draw to Brighton are proof of it. None of their defenders picked up a card, even in the game against Fulham too.

Joao Pedro is not in first 11, not among the subs and not among the injured players ?? I am sure we will get some story about that. Of course he was part of my switch to get Salah. Looks like terrible decision so far. I need Salah to get more than 4 points than Saka and Isak combined in second half just to break even.

Of course it was always a 2 GWs punt, so there is GW5 to consider as well but I definitely expected more.

Salah was one of the worst players of a horrible Liverpool today. When things aren't going his way, he's probably the worst good player in the world.

My Liverpool picks are doing horrible so far. Jota is a shitty 7,5 pick, Quansah already cost me 0.3 mil without doing anything and Salah has been good, but considering our schedule could have done more.
Expected to pick a lot better from a team I know the best.

He's already making a killing, while everyone was pretty much focused on Haaland potential absence we lost track or Joao Pedro who's ended up MIA, that was supposed to be my sole transfer had I not pull the wildcard, even if it's just Haaland's return I'll be getting right now, the wild card feels like a huge success already.

Since you all won't play fair, how about we all play with the FPL cheat code?! Grin

Lol. Pedro did pass under the radar, nobody saw it coming. Porro is my first sub. Lol

You honestly think you'd survive the FPL without the Robot? Halaand and Bruno both play FPL, so having players like them on the team is always beneficial. They are saving not just us, but also their own teams. Grin

There is no solid update on the issue from any source, and as per Guardiola press conference he said it's yet to be known if Haaland will be mentally available for the match, my guess is he will play.

Let's hope so - Damn it I don't even know what my starting lineup looks like " system is already updating" I wasn't going to make any transfer but was sure going to make 2 substitutions and maybe a captaincy choice ( still on Halaand though). 2mins late.

Luis Diaz played for Liverpool even when he had some family challenges. I know Diaz is different from Haaland, and each player has different ways of handling things and reacting to serious situations, but it is possible that Haaland plays and then makes sure to score a goal in honor of his close friend who he just lost.

I think anybody who isn't doing Haaland (C) Salah (VC) is going to be in for a rough time this week.

The robot, if he plays, will become a Terminator.

And if he doesn't, well we all know what Salah is capable of doing.

Speaking of Hall and Barco, those are supposed to be your bench players, aren't they ? Is taking points hit if you have 11 players that would be playing any better from taking point hit from one healthy player to another ?

What Barco are you talking about? Im missing or the Barco from Brighton is no longer in Brighton he went to Sevilla.

Or is other player?

Same Barco mate, we were rather talking about whether or not taking points hit to get him out is the right way or waiting to use a free transfer since he's meant to be a bench player for a FPL squad to begin with.

I was reading it right now, very sad news. Asides of my jokes about him missing some rounds because of a injury, this is a very sad to know the loss of a close friend.

It is all about future, they can get me points while these two can't.

Switching between healthy Saka/Palmner/Son is probably luxury which has much higher chance to backfire. Especially since they are all on penalties.

I’m finding it hard to get the full glimpse here, if it’s about the future which no one knows just yet which player could be the next to get injured or fall out of rotation again I suppose that’s where the free transfer comes into play since these players aren’t going into your starting lineup, would it not have been better to use the future free transfer to get them out rather than pay -8 points for bench players if the wild card is apparently considered too expensive and more so when you’re just one or two game weeks away from using the wildcard anyway, or maybe this where it all balls down to individual approach/strategy and plan for each chip/free transfers.
