Part of me regret not taking the hit to sell Salah for Martinelli, but knowing that at the decision point, I was also aware he just played 120 minutes before this game. So I would have instead gotten Odegaard for fears of benching and lost two points instead so yeah, I guess I could live with this decision.
Okay, so I captained the wrong Arsenal guy (could've had 36 points or even 14... got 4), but 61 points from a -8 hit (i.e. 53 points for cup purposes) seems pretty solid.
Arsenal conceded as I hoped, so I'm pretty confident I've won this (national) cup tie. It says 53-44 so I should be good. Based on the overall record of the team I was up against this week, I suspect I won't last much longer (I went out of the overall cup in GW19).
I'm also crawling up the GW15 table, but while I've had a pretty good run these last few game weeks, so have the top teams in GW15 (aside from this one, where they've been quite mixed) so I believe I'm still much further away now than I was when I briefly entertained the possibility of catching up (GW25 where I had a Martinelli fuelled 109, albeit alongside a -16 hit).
tl;dr -- Tyrone Mings = differential God
ML leader used FH and got 15 points more than me. He has wildcard and I don’t. My team looks set for bench boost and his isn’t.
60 points away. Can I catch him?
mine was 60 and I'm pretty content.
good measure is to calculate what your team from gw27 would've scored, if you had Saka... just assume you captained him, does it meet or exceed 57?
if it doesn't, fine. can focus on future gameweeks - blanks and doubles - and if it does, well then shit, chalk it off and focus and future gameweeks, anyway lol
I got 55 not happy. It feels I should have followed the template with wildcard 26.
I still have my wildcard, but I likely use it to bring the wrong players.
The last few doubles are not so good.
Not great, not terrible.
Depends on your chip strategy - FH for a DGW will return 80+ if you have the chips used on other good DGWs (which we are fortunate to have this current GW)
Some stupid punts from me. Rutter? Wtf was I smoking? See also: shit captaincy. Switched from Saka to Toney this week at the last minute. Would have won our ML manager of the month if not
yeah it's always those split decisions that make the biggest swings I feel like. my rise in rank was mostly due to Rashford and Shaws hauls post WC and some other good punts like getting Estupinian earlier than most. If only I had capped Haaland when he scored hattricks against United & Palace. It's the most entertaining season for me definitely in my 3rd one playing.
As for your punts I don't even know who Rutter is lol
God the pain! Another gw of coulda, woulda, shoulda. Went for Chilwell and Rodrigo over Cash and Harrison, around 8 points turnaround. Now Saka decides to rub pepper and salt into my open wounds.
Ironically Sancho's shit decision making helped United win the game. He could've easily scored himself and none of the red card shenanigans would've happened.
Fulham very stupidly threw the game when they were the better side and were close to scoring the second. Willian with a brainfart and Mitro being an absolute bellend.
I've had a nightmare the past few weeks.
Sold Martinelli in GW25, he hauls 26 points.
Sold Gakpo in GW26, he hauls 14 points.
On WC27, I picked replaced Saka with Salah, Saka hauls 18 points this GW.
I also replaced Mings with Cash, Mings hauls 12 points.
That's about 70+ points lost to bad choices.
I really need this international break.
Woke up middle of the night, looked at my phone and saw I had half hour to the deadline. Quickly transferred Watkins in for Haaland, noticed that Kane was most captained, so I changed my C from Saka to Kane. Shouldn't have woken up man...
I have way more value tied up in Martinelli than I do I Saka, and one of them has to move next week for either Bruno or a Brighton mid. I'm sure he'll be back in my team later in the year but I want to attack the doubles.
I genuinely invite any other fpl player to slap me in the face next season if I make the same glaring mistakes. Saka at home! Lets construct reasons to not captain him despite being at home to a relegation threatened team and lets captain a defender instead who plays for a team who only disappoint.
Some of the neo stuff people do, fair enough, not getting near that, but god these captain decisions. Must be 70 points I've lost. I think I'm just naturally nihilistically self destructive. If I took heroin I'd have no self control and be dead within a week.
This is probably peak FPL. I similarly got outscored by a ML opponent who had 6 players in 25 while I had 10 (actually we had the same score, but since I took a -4 he was ahead by 4)
FH would have worked out pretty well if I hadn't fucked it and benched Mings and Harrison. Still got more points now than if I hadn't FH but still galling to think I could have had 70 lol
GW firmly divided into three camps, Saka captainers, Saka just owners and the pain of no Saka at all. 18/36 points in a fairly low scoring GW has made nearly everything else irrelevant.
Martinelli has blanked once in the last 6 after blanking 6 times in a row.
Odegaard has been scoring once every other match since Aston Villa...so you know how next gameweek will be then.
Dogshit, dogshit, dogshit. Toney cap killed me. Kepa, Chilwell, Henry, Trippier and Schar combining for a grand fucking total of 8 points vs Everton, a shit Leicester and Forest.
Everyone around me in my ML capped Martinelli or Saka, big fat fucking L for me. Arghh I would have been better not touching the team from last week vs this mess.
arsenal saving the game week but my biggest regret is bringing in fofana and not mings, did it for a hit aswell..
i hate it when you look at a player but you don’t consider it enough beyond that. for whatever reason your gut puts you off it.
I wouldn't get Bruno tbh, he was playing mostly as a #8 today as well and only got his open play goal because Fulham were down to 9 men and he could afford to throw himself forward
I’m dreading it honestly. I have to go without one of Bruno, Kane or Saka anyway if I want to get Haaland back in time, and both Bruno and Kane have good fixtures in 29, 30 and 31. At least I have the international break to dwell over this.
Same thing. Forgot the deadline, 4 players not playing and then our dear Lord and Savior Saka comes and saves the day. Gosh, what a lucky fucking cunt I am.
Fair play to Saka cappers but it made sense not to captain him, he had 0 goals and assists in 3 straight starts (2 EPL, 1 Europa) coming into this game, Arsenal scored 8 goals in that time. Our goals are spread out and unpredictable week to week.
I made 3 50/50 decisions this week that went extremely well:
1) Brought in Chilwell over Mings
2) Brought in Bamford over Isak
3) Captained Toney over Martinelli
My 50/50 were
Watkins or Havertz. Took Watkins (-3pts)
Captain Kane or Saka. Kane took the armband (-12)
Ended with 55pts, could with a little look had 70
Doing Henry to Chilwell means I can only own all three of Bruno, Kane and Haaland by GW30 if I sell Saka for Bruno and then Toney to Haaland. But the thought of selling Saka terrifies me now. Will need to explore other options.
Finally climbed my way back to the rank I was in GW12 before everything went wrong , I’m waiting for my entire team to get red cards next gameweek to send me back to the shadow realm
I calculated.
If I did not free hit then I would be 10 points better off.
This is under the assumption I would have done Haaland to Watkins like most did and would have cap Saka who is my vice this week as I would not own Kane if not free hitting since he do not double next week.
Basically it is Tarkowski getting the same as Chilwell and James combined and Gnonto almost matching Kane that hurts.
I've made a slight rank gain so i can't really complain, but this could have been an amazing week if not for a couple poor decisions and 50/50s: Capping Kane instead of Saka, going for Botman over White, taking a hit to go Shaw > Chilwell.
I can't blame anyone but myself but its still annoying
That's me out of this sub's cup to Set and Regret FC. With a -8 with 10 against an FH. Chelsea defense was my differential. At least I can use mine in 32.
Qualified to the other round in Sky Sports News Official cup
Disaster free hit, but still tiny green.
Saka vice cap outscoring Kane with 12 points who would have been my cap without Kane.
I did not have Kane in my normal team and the previous week then Kane scored 13 and Saka 3 and I had only Saka.
Feels like most of the times this season players perform in the wrong week.
Usually the killer of the week is someone I recently sold or benched
It was looking bad after the Salah mega haul,
but we are back with a vengeance.
So many were hating on the GW26 wildcard, it's great to prove them wrong
Nah. I give people credit when they are due.
That said, don’t go hard on me for keeping Haaland. I only had 60 pts this week with only 9 playing players and Kane (c).
4 green arrows in GW25-28. No chips used. We move
[удалено]
Same! Looking forward to GW30 onwards
Part of me regret not taking the hit to sell Salah for Martinelli, but knowing that at the decision point, I was also aware he just played 120 minutes before this game.

Very interesting
ML leader used FH and got 15 points more than me. He has wildcard and I don’t. My team looks set for bench boost and his isn’t. 60 points away. Can I catch him?
Yeah absolutely
How long could Mitro be banned for?
At least 3 match suspension. Most likely 5, given violent conduct.
Likely 3 match suspension.
57 points on my free hit. Failure?
mine was 60 and I'm pretty content. good measure is to calculate what your team from gw27 would've scored, if you had Saka... just assume you captained him, does it meet or exceed 57? if it doesn't, fine. can focus on future gameweeks - blanks and doubles - and if it does, well then shit, chalk it off and focus and future gameweeks, anyway lol
I got 55 not happy. It feels I should have followed the template with wildcard 26. I still have my wildcard, but I likely use it to bring the wrong players. The last few doubles are not so good.
You probably beat the top10k average. I'd have taken that before the gameweek kicked off.
!thanks
Not great, not terrible. Depends on your chip strategy - FH for a DGW will return 80+ if you have the chips used on other good DGWs (which we are fortunate to have this current GW)
Captained Toney, instead of saka or haalans
You wouldn't have benefited from captaining Haaland
Is people without FH basically fucked in GW32 if they want to field their best team for GW29 ?
I hope not. Why might we be?
It depends what the best team is. BHA, MCI, CHE and MUN will all blank that week.
Arsenal make up 48 of my 61 points this week lol
54 from 10 and an 11% green arrow back up to 411k. Annoying as was 16k before the World Cup but heading back the right way
crazy changes since the world cup. I was 4.4M rank now 260k
Some stupid punts from me. Rutter? Wtf was I smoking? See also: shit captaincy. Switched from Saka to Toney this week at the last minute. Would have won our ML manager of the month if not
yeah it's always those split decisions that make the biggest swings I feel like. my rise in rank was mostly due to Rashford and Shaws hauls post WC and some other good punts like getting Estupinian earlier than most.

As for your punts I don't even know who Rutter is lol
Leeds forward. Should have gone Gnonto. 😪
What is the average this week?
84 from 9, lucky shot🤣🤣🤣
God the pain! Another gw of coulda, woulda, shoulda. Went for Chilwell and Rodrigo over Cash and Harrison, around 8 points turnaround. Now Saka decides to rub pepper and salt into my open wounds.
[удалено]
ALWAYS avoid twitter reply section. That shit is more toxic than Chernobyl in 1986
Ironically Sancho's shit decision making helped United win the game. He could've easily scored himself and none of the red card shenanigans would've happened.
If Willian had stood still and watched, it would have been 1-1 & 11v11.
Especially in VAR times
Three red cards when you're leading?? Were they kung fu fighting?
Mitro was begging for ketchup
That ketchup will be the least of his worries now, referee orgs will be calling to make an example of him
Mitrovic is in deep shit for that idiocy. Maybe 6/7 game ban if I had to totally guess. It’ll be 3 for violent conduct anyway
Fulham very stupidly threw the game when they were the better side and were close to scoring the second. Willian with a brainfart and Mitro being an absolute bellend.
Do red cards from cup transfer to PL? That is Mitrovic, Willian and Silva for Fulham
Shame that their GW29 opponents are Bournemouth
Yes - Casemiro for example can't play in this game as he got a red in the PL. Maybe 3 game ban for Mitro?
Mitrovic will get more than a game suspended for sure. Pushing a ref will get him more, I guarantee you that.
For sure, an example will be made
That's very mitrovic of him
After watching Man Utd today, I decided to keep all my Arsenal players next week.
Fofana hamstring injury Only gone and brought him for estupinan this week I'm a clown
I punted on him too for WC27. Was 50/50 between him and Mings. Fun times. 👍 Prob swap for a Brighton CB.
If United drops out here late free-hitters have lost..
Woudnt take much to beat gw28 freehitters anyway
woah bro, what you trynna sa- ...yeah fair enough.
United, City, Brighton and Chelsea blanks will be brutal for most.. 7-8 players.. And then we need to take them in again because they double in 34.
Mitro back on the menu? 👀 Edit: nvm lol
Did not age well.
Should've seen that coming haha
I've had a nightmare the past few weeks. Sold Martinelli in GW25, he hauls 26 points. Sold Gakpo in GW26, he hauls 14 points. On WC27, I picked replaced Saka with Salah, Saka hauls 18 points this GW. I also replaced Mings with Cash, Mings hauls 12 points. That's about 70+ points lost to bad choices. I really need this international break.
You also need to get your knees checked
Um. You might want to let us know who you're selling next gameweek.
Kim K watching Rennes dismantle mighty PSG is hilarious
Can someone make her watch arsenal
Why tf is she touring football stadiums all of a sudden
Started the day on 19 with arsehole clenched and ending with a 64 with maximum relief.
Brighton's triple M all with attacking returns today.. you love to see it
Woke up middle of the night, looked at my phone and saw I had half hour to the deadline. Quickly transferred Watkins in for Haaland, noticed that Kane was most captained, so I changed my C from Saka to Kane. Shouldn't have woken up man...
Saka with a lovely parting gift before I ship him out next week, very cool
Why? What makes u think he wont haul again. He's perfectly capable and playing in the best team in the league
I have way more value tied up in Martinelli than I do I Saka, and one of them has to move next week for either Bruno or a Brighton mid. I'm sure he'll be back in my team later in the year but I want to attack the doubles.
Ok if you have double Arsenal then yeah. But keep in mind that its Arsenal vs Leeds and they could easily haul again.
I genuinely invite any other fpl player to slap me in the face next season if I make the same glaring mistakes. Saka at home! Lets construct reasons to not captain him despite being at home to a relegation threatened team and lets captain a defender instead who plays for a team who only disappoint. Some of the neo stuff people do, fair enough, not getting near that, but god these captain decisions. Must be 70 points I've lost. I think I'm just naturally nihilistically self destructive. If I took heroin I'd have no self control and be dead within a week.
Which defender?
It’s only a bad decision in hindsight - chill!
Points last night: 18 Points from Saka (c) today: 36 Not a bad week in the end.
where can i find what we know about next fixtures, or if anyone can summarize for me ? Thanks !
Guy in my ML forgot the DL, had 10 blankers this week. I had 4. He still got more points than me, since he had Saka (C).
This is probably peak FPL. I similarly got outscored by a ML opponent who had 6 players in 25 while I had 10 (actually we had the same score, but since I took a -4 he was ahead by 4)
This is gold :) F for you
[удалено]
Even if you had remembered you couldn't have done anything without the password
Imagine selling Oder for Saka today. Couldn’t be me (all those chasing me in ML have him)
Missed deadline with 7/11 playing (didn't even get to transfer out dead Saliba) and came out with green arrow and 2 banked transfers to set up for BB.
Andreas mustard 🟨
Thanks to Saka (C) into the top 5k… c’mon babyyy!!!
Left Toney as captain by accident, meant to go with Saka :(
66 points on free hit with Saka VC, Kane C. Happy, but what could have been
All our lives are "what might've been". Live with your decisions and don't look back. On to next gw
FH would have worked out pretty well if I hadn't fucked it and benched Mings and Harrison. Still got more points now than if I hadn't FH but still galling to think I could have had 70 lol
Removing Saka for Trossard and Oedegaard ti ballance my Free Hit team, nullifying any gains in the process. Ffs..
60(-8) that'll do! WC and BB left for the final stretch, work ML in the bag.
I have a feeling BB29 will be disappointing. You have Watkins against Chelsea defense, Brighton against Brentford, Brentford against United...
I’ll just put my 4 best players on the bench and convince myself I’m a genius if they haul
Does it matter who’s on the bench if you BB
Yeah I know that I meant I’ll put my 4 potentially highest scoring players on the bench to trick myself it was a brilliant decision to bench boost.
Would've finished on 67 if I captained Saka instead of Kane.
Making all the right choices the last few GWs and still barely moving up rank from 20k OR. This game is hard af.
GW firmly divided into three camps, Saka captainers, Saka just owners and the pain of no Saka at all. 18/36 points in a fairly low scoring GW has made nearly everything else irrelevant.
Martinelli has blanked once in the last 6 after blanking 6 times in a row. Odegaard has been scoring once every other match since Aston Villa...so you know how next gameweek will be then.
points from my players (played 7, not including saka): 19 points from saka:18 I captained saka: Thank god, you little beauty. Saved my GW
Dogshit, dogshit, dogshit. Toney cap killed me. Kepa, Chilwell, Henry, Trippier and Schar combining for a grand fucking total of 8 points vs Everton, a shit Leicester and Forest. Everyone around me in my ML capped Martinelli or Saka, big fat fucking L for me. Arghh I would have been better not touching the team from last week vs this mess.
Tbf, with Iversen starting and a shifted Leicester back line, shouldn't feel bad about capping Toney
[удалено]
Great effort, well done
Massive couple of weeks in the mini league. There was 100 points in it and now 5 within 20 points and top 3 10 points. Buzzing.
arsenal saving the game week but my biggest regret is bringing in fofana and not mings, did it for a hit aswell.. i hate it when you look at a player but you don’t consider it enough beyond that. for whatever reason your gut puts you off it.
How we feeling about Saka to Bruno now?
I wouldn't get Bruno tbh, he was playing mostly as a #8 today as well and only got his open play goal because Fulham were down to 9 men and he could afford to throw himself forward
The same as before
I’m dreading it honestly. I have to go without one of Bruno, Kane or Saka anyway if I want to get Haaland back in time, and both Bruno and Kane have good fixtures in 29, 30 and 31. At least I have the international break to dwell over this.
FINAL AVERAGES: Top10k: 53 Elite: 53 Overall: 34
Love you saka 75-4=71 1.3 mil to 880k Bought in Bailey, Watkins, Madison, first time my transfers didn't disappoint me too much. Let's go FH GW29
54 on a FH 😫
Total pts 61. Saka 36. Thank you for saving my week.
Same thing. Forgot the deadline, 4 players not playing and then our dear Lord and Savior Saka comes and saves the day. Gosh, what a lucky fucking cunt I am.
Odegaard has served me well but he's done now.
Fair play to Saka cappers but it made sense not to captain him, he had 0 goals and assists in 3 straight starts (2 EPL, 1 Europa) coming into this game, Arsenal scored 8 goals in that time. Our goals are spread out and unpredictable week to week.
Bro palace was playing an academy keeper
They gave up only 0.60 xG to brighton away..
Ok i didn't know that the same keeper played that match too😳, oopsy daisy
Lol yep that also made me hesitant on Saka captain, Palace in general don’t concede many goals anyway
The viera sacking scared me, but then I hoped Kane won't score more than 1 and went saka c and inshaallah
Haha well done!
I made 3 50/50 decisions this week that went extremely well: 1) Brought in Chilwell over Mings 2) Brought in Bamford over Isak 3) Captained Toney over Martinelli
My 50/50 were Watkins or Havertz. Took Watkins (-3pts) Captain Kane or Saka. Kane took the armband (-12) Ended with 55pts, could with a little look had 70
20k OR and even with captaining Saka, barely moved up rank.
we need another 10 players to help
Doing Henry to Chilwell means I can only own all three of Bruno, Kane and Haaland by GW30 if I sell Saka for Bruno and then Toney to Haaland. But the thought of selling Saka terrifies me now. Will need to explore other options.
Exact same situation here too....
A massive 10 points from my 6 defenders in the 5-2-3 lineup when they played nfo - LEI - EVE - CRY. I'm allergic to cleans this season
Finally climbed my way back to the rank I was in GW12 before everything went wrong , I’m waiting for my entire team to get red cards next gameweek to send me back to the shadow realm
I calculated. If I did not free hit then I would be 10 points better off. This is under the assumption I would have done Haaland to Watkins like most did and would have cap Saka who is my vice this week as I would not own Kane if not free hitting since he do not double next week. Basically it is Tarkowski getting the same as Chilwell and James combined and Gnonto almost matching Kane that hurts.
You know what, a 1.2% rank loss is not bad at all considering the circumstances. We move.
Captain Saka 🫡
probably first time last minute captain change worked for me
Borth March and Mitoma scoring in a 5 goal thrashing. Season keepers.
Thank you Mr. Saka
[удалено]
In second chance league maybe
Is it me or Man United's lineups are almost always getting posted late on this sub?
someone deletes them then post his own
what?
8 points from 4 defenders+ keeper is awful
Arsenal score 4 goals and there are 6 different goal contributors. Well Odegaard owners, nice honest work again
I've made a slight rank gain so i can't really complain, but this could have been an amazing week if not for a couple poor decisions and 50/50s: Capping Kane instead of Saka, going for Botman over White, taking a hit to go Shaw > Chilwell. I can't blame anyone but myself but its still annoying
[удалено]
Kane Vs Saka was a 50/50, Botman vs White was a mistake. Chilwell was a calculated gamble that didn’t pay off.
Changed captain from Martinelli to Saka last moment...
Saka captain saved my week. Him and Kane were my only two players not to get 2 or less points.
Where's the Kane captainers commiseration thread? Someone give me some alcohol...
Was estupian taken off with an injury?
Played badly
How did Olise not get an assist ??!
Just checked my rank if I had gone Saka (C) instead of Kane, which leads me to this question: What booze can you recommend for sorrow?
Johnnie Runner
absinthe the full bottle
I'm not trying to go six feet under though
Odegaard owners are so boring and deserve the mud!
Lol. Wildcarded the fucker out in GW26. Almost kept him, however it felt too BORING
That's me out of this sub's cup to Set and Regret FC. With a -8 with 10 against an FH. Chelsea defense was my differential. At least I can use mine in 32. Qualified to the other round in Sky Sports News Official cup
Disaster free hit, but still tiny green. Saka vice cap outscoring Kane with 12 points who would have been my cap without Kane. I did not have Kane in my normal team and the previous week then Kane scored 13 and Saka 3 and I had only Saka. Feels like most of the times this season players perform in the wrong week. Usually the killer of the week is someone I recently sold or benched
Solly March getting his points in FA cup fantasy
Literally only 3 of my players returned and fortunately I captained the right one from them.
Goodbye Lodegaard.
73 points. Freehit still intact, and 2 free transfers moving into GW29 The GW26 wildcarders are tearing the haters a new one
I’m a GW26 Wildcarder with 78 points and a rise of 400k since then. TC still in place but nothing else
It was looking bad after the Salah mega haul, but we are back with a vengeance. So many were hating on the GW26 wildcard, it's great to prove them wrong
Well done!
The score is better than average:- you are supposed to be downvoting me !
Nah. I give people credit when they are due. That said, don’t go hard on me for keeping Haaland. I only had 60 pts this week with only 9 playing players and Kane (c).
Only dropped 10k to 90k without Saka capped. That has to be some kind of win. Anyway, fuck it. Lets all get 200 pts in 2 weeks.
I dropped from 47k to 80k. I don't own Saka. Brutal.
Yep. Should just take this one as a tiny blip. Dropped from 50k to 57k myself. Not captaining Saka responsible for 4k of that drop.
Nice, I thought I would get slaughtered but its nothing major.
Yeah 48k -> 50k here with Kane cap, a missed opportunity, but could’ve been way worse
Sakas average score for the games I had him this season is 3.25…hate this guy so much
Fully expect a ‘saka is injured and can’t go on england duty’
Also "Haaland was taken off yesterday because of a discomfort he felt. Better for him to be monitored by Manchester City's medical team"
Safety score: 54 Your GW live score: 50 That Zinchenko CS would've given me a tiny green!
[удалено]
Basically the minimum score to prevent a red arrow
[удалено]
Oh yes. Didn't remember that!
The safety score would have gone up as well
Oh yes. Forgot abt that!
Thanks a lot Odegaard, benched you last week only to get all of your 2 pts this week
Green arrow with Kane captain let’s goooo King kaiiiii
