Heyyy!!!!!!!! Haaland scored only 1 goal!
I didn't understand why Pep didn't send Kevin De Bruyne in. I wish Manchester City lost points tonight. At least Haaland managed to collect 10 points and contributed to people who used TC a little.I don't know about which one of the players to use my TC on. I assume that I will keep it for Solanke on gw28.
Kevin De Bruyne not starting is a kind of a blow to me because he is my captain. I hope he comes on and scores a goal, or maybe just have a good performance, and let the game still end in favor of Brentford or another draw game.
Its 68th minutes and Pep hasnt put him on the field yet despite the score is still 0-0. Well this is probably the worst decision that I've made, TC Haaland and so far he hasnt score a single goal despite playing two times. I could have gotten so many points if I TC Solanke lol, he got 12 points just from a draw against Newcastle. This Brentford's goalkeeper has been putting decent number of saves so far, defenses line are pretty solid as well
Do you wanna know why Haaland not score? Because for the first time in the season i put him playing the freehit, totally fucked.
Good chance for him to score today against Brentford, Manchester City are pressing well, and although Brentford are defending well and very organized, but they will not be able to keep it on for long.

I am in between getting points for the GW from my MCI selects, and then Manchester City dropping points so Arsenal remain second with hopes of getting to first soon. I want MCI to drop points more.
Nunez out of the Luton game as well. Holy fucking shit, I picked 3 Liverpool players for the DGW and it seems that all 3 got injured in the 1st game and will be missing the 2nd one.
2 are surely out, we'll see what the call is with Salah.
You just can't make this shit up.

I supposed I read Nunez was only being substituted half as a precaution, would be back against Luton, and I don't think I've read of Salah being doubtful for game either, only Jota and Curtis Jones are confirmed out until further notice.
I hope Nunez would really play, Salah could sit this one out though, for all I care.
I'mma do away with quite some baggage this week, it's going to be almost double digits points hit for sure, or even WC
He is most transferred player in this GW, and Liverpool does not even play in GW26
Perfect FPL decision by casuals. After that he has Nottingham then City than no game again. I think I can live without him for this period.

Trust me, I'm happy to discredit my own efforts. That 85 top score was a result of abandoning two game weeks, and forgetting to change bench (hence the right keeper played haha).
Don't worry, we will all sit down and break bread together one fine day (and drink some of Ige's whiskey).

I forgot to make changes for the DGW since I was overthinking it.I spent the entire week debating whether to hit the WC or just go with the TC chip, and by Friday evening, I still wasn't sure what to do. I woke up on Saturday morning and went on a mini-trip without changing anything in my team, only to see it was already deadline day. There were three injured players on the pitch and three blank week players on the bench. Maybe I'd be as lucky as you were.
Re: Drink
It's gonna happen bro, trust me- hope you guys aren't expecting much cause I'm not a gentleman, most times I'm just a clown eating pork.
Nunez out of the Luton game as well.

this one is on me, have him as 3C
it all started as one can wish for, with a early goal in first match, and finished a lot worse
this will ruin my GW, but also chances to bounce from lower part of the table
nevertheless, will try to fight till the end, and hope that Haaland will stay goalless as well, so that Haaland holders don't get points and skip

This season is going on like a nightmare for Liverpool. Aside from the fantasy team you must be quite sad as a Liverpool fan as well. Is there any news about whether the injured players will get well until the Nott'm Forest match on March 2nd?
I want to buy Son by selling Jota. However Liverpool and Tottenham both have a blank week on gw26 which makes things quite difficult for me.

I'm 5 points behind the top players this week, so feeling overly confident about my FPL abilities this week, esp with 6 players yet to amass points (heh heh).
With all the injuries ongoing, it's a minefield that hasn't quite affected me yet (but I see it as repayment for many weeks with multiple long injuries).
You are on the other hand a perfect target for all kinds of jabs since we always get a reaction Hope we will catch a drink once as well. It is always nice to put a face to nickname.

This robot has a strange way of discrediting efforts; we know buwaytress had no idea how he got there, but you didn't have to make it so obvious. In FPL, the more differential points you score, the higher your chances of reaching the top.
Buwaytress knows I consider him a friend, and that was just that. A way to honor his incredible talent of picking poor fantasy options. That is also fine since he is kicking my ass often in other pools. Just like he just took AFCON money home.You are on the other hand a perfect target for all kinds of jabs since we always get a reaction

When choosing players, I took into account the empty game week. Me and cryptofrka (as he said earlier) are not even in the top 5 and the gap from first place is about 90 points, and the inclusion of Salah and his appointment as captain was logical.
There are some rumors that Salah has renewed his hamstring injury and that he's doubtful for the Luton game.
If that happens, we don't get another captain for that game (I asked Trofo already), which means that we'll get destroyed - Haaland's got an easy game coming.
I based all on Salah vs Luton, used both my wildcard and my triple captain for that to happen. Nothing's going my way recently, in any of the competitions.
FPL should just make all new prospective transfers revocable at least until the current transfer deadline has elapsed
Speaking of Salah, I think this might this could be some cautionary motive, because he sprinted quite a lot (unplanned, I'd say!) on Saturday, and we all know how reoccurring hamstring troubles can be with that, meanwhile there is a partially more important fixture against Chelsea that he could be saved for, but I doubt he wouldn't be getting a some playing time vs Luton, only problem is that they're a quite physical team as well, which could all warrant the necessary cautions being taken so as to not aggravate the problem.
That being said, Haaland does have a whole lot of making up to do!!!

Getting Mo Salah right this game week doesn't seem logical to me, especially given the fact they have blank week for the next round [..]

But the news that P'Porro will miss the match and the fact that Kelleher will replace Alisson during DGW forced me to activate the WC. Yes, I couldn't use my TC but I reformed my team by getting rid of very expensive defense (P'Porro, TAA, Ederson) and brought in Haaland, Salah, Toney. If I had not activated the wild card, I would have had to think about how to fit 5 players on the bench + goalkeeper.
Another plus is that I found a balance between the rotation of goalkeepers. Kelleher/Neto complement each other well, and even if Alisson returns, Bournemouth has a good enough schedule after the double game week that I won't have to think about replacing Kelleher.

I'm also prepared for an empty game week, and 2 free transfers will allow me to be more flexible.
Almost all the players have favorable matches, and on the bench are Salah, Kelleher, Bradley who will meet Nott'm Forest in a week. Doughty will of course wait for DGW since he has good attacking potential. So for me this is the most logical strategy to move forward in our league.

For me it does, having him triple captain in 120 minutes I expected him to play against bad opposition is a no-brainer. I have a plan for the blank week, it's only 1 game for Salah and he'll be benched, while Jota will be sold.
I simply have to go with a differentiator, that was my reasoning. That's why I'll play the rest of the season without Haaland as well.
I'm in 8th, top 5 get the prizes. If I play with logic, the best I can do is 5th - and that's a big maybe.
If I risk it, I'll probably drop 10 places but 8th gives me nothing - so this was a logical risk to take.
I guess your explanation makes it make the most sense right with little or nothing to play for, I mean that was my reason for parting ways with Saka a couple of game weeks ago, but he has decided to keep dropping the bombshell on me week in week out, I'm consider going beserk too very soon with my WC, it's almost all or nothing O'clock
Tough day at the office for City, and for most fantasy team managers that went with a Halaad Captain, am pretty sure they should be feeling the pressure and with less shoots at goal or on goal this surely makes Chelsea comfortable as they run down the time.
Manchester City have not recorded any win against the big clubs in the Premier League this season, they have only drawn points with them. Haaland missed many opportunities, blanked in the game, and is of course a big blow to us who had him as captain. Manchester City were Lucky, They were meant to loose that game, Pochettino's wrong substitution spoilt the game.Saka delivered this weekend, would have even had a hattrick had Arteta not taken him off.
not sure why, but went with triple captain on Nunez, started really well, but he was let go in second half
Saka and Watkins did something, but Alvarez and KDB are down to nothing, could be worse
waiting to see Pickford with another clean sheet, who would say that he has most clean sheets this season, and got January save of the month award on top

I think you are underestimating a bit how hectic second part of the season usually ends up being
Probably, I told you that this is my first time playing fantasy seriously.
I made a shitload of mistakes with early transfers, I'm surely misinterpreting how close or far from the top I currently am.
What I can see though is that both Salah and Watkins are as useful as Haaland's been, and Salah gets points from assists as well. I prefer him as my captain and I'll hope I can outscore Haaland with 2 good players most of you won't be able to afford.
I was about making a huge error in my Liverpool player selection for the DG, though my sights has been Nunez, I had D. Jota on the side for a possible preference. Imagine how relieved I was when he was carried off due to injury. Nunez got his goal, now its left to se what he would do when they play Luton.

Am regretting at the moment for having not gone with a Saka captain who technically had a better fixture for sure..
Come on City you have done a comeback before...cant let Arsenal and Liverpool to celebrate !!!
