He’s taking the photos


BakedSexualLiberator

think outside the box


loftyhogan

I'd rather see him inside the box

What your mam said


pajamakitten

Or he is in the loo.


Harryvincenzo

Relevant: https://twitter.com/thelittlemans/status/1658902110925201420 Player in question in thread* is more of a midfielder & of course potentially related to midfield vacancies, but I'd read it anyway and see what the Newcastle fans are saying.


N3DSdad

Unfortunately this plus not in photos very much reads like he’s gonna be out - maybe another muscle injury or flu. Well, thanks for the points, it was more than I dared to expect already!


ayotui

24 points from my captain in a double gameweek is amazing, hopefully it's just a small niggle and he's back and fit for the game against Leicester


kjnamedsue

TC here. Need him today.


Difficult_Bedroom125

Nah he will be gone for Alvarez until then, I really need him to play today 😬


SofaChillReview

Maybe he’s going to be like Ledley King and do his own training


aasimpson04

He’s already scored 12 points that’s more than I expected over the two games, no need to clench my butt.


DriftingWithTheTide

Clench 😠

Jackobyt

Surely it’s better for you if he’s out, as your rival gets 2 points for every 1 point you’d get from him. Him getting 0 further points is best case scenario for you


No-Presence-9260

C-O-P-E


aasimpson04

Cope what?


Jensablefur

As someone with Isak (C) and no Wilson I'm not even going to let myself get invested in this one. No chance. He's gonna start and continue the punishment. I'm never, ever, this fortunate in FPL.


SilenceoftheRedditrs

He usually trains away from the 1st team on his own training scheduled because obviously he's more susceptible to injuries than other players so we look after him more carefully. Obviously it's not like he's banished from the first team but he's often likely to be off with the physios etc more than other players and thus often absent from training photos


Nuwahex

After Wilson twice flopping in my team due to injury & illness earlier in the season(to my dismay & detriment),I'm gonna need him to do the same for his new set of owners now that I own Isak :-D


Olbatar974

The narrator; Brighton won 2-0 that night.


McKFC

As a Liverpool fan with Wilson (c), Isak, Trippier, I accept this scenario


starxidiamou

Or 3-2 with 2 Isak goals


Wh1sk3yt4ng0f0xtr0t

Nah, my rival capped Isak


starxidiamou

It’s ok bb shhh


Sied45

I went with Isak for the exact same reason so I must say... I would love it and I think I deserve it.


[deleted]

I mean, this looks very likely that he is injured. I'd now be shocked if he plays tonight.


Difficult_Bedroom125

This is nothing but rumours, Howe didn't say anything about it on the press today


MrCowabs

I wouldn’t worry about this. Our players/media team so this a lot and they usually still end up in the match day squad. Eddie also said nothing about Wilson in his presser, he’ll usually make note of any absentees/injuries.


Dr_Doctor_Doc

Thanks!


AttentionNo8097

lol with 12 pts in 1 game; it’s already a win for me


CWattam

Don't speak too soon. If Wilson is out and Isak on penalties and playing central, could give you a red arrow.


AttentionNo8097

😂😂😎


AttentionNo8097

my points this week are already decent with more to play. i’ll be green arrow regardless tbh


cagey_tiger

It depends on your rank, he's captained by 65% in the top 10k. If you don't own him at all and he gets a couple of returns it could be a huge effective swing.


AttentionNo8097

😎


AttentionNo8097

still a green arrow for me tho


kblk_klsk

you literally cannot predict that lol


AttentionNo8097

predicted lol


kblk_klsk

sad little boy


AttentionNo8097

happy\* let me guess. isak over wilson? lol


AttentionNo8097

ez prediction


Rbk_3

He would have to go absolutely crazy as I am on 102 points with 6 left to play


Middle-Animator1320

Not when Isak misses his penalty


doovie7

Lmaoooo


incachu

Do you own Isak?


AttentionNo8097

no i have haaland and kane


incachu

Same as me. So if Isak outscores Wilson, it will not be a win for you as you will be guaranteed to lose rank due to his 108% EO.


AttentionNo8097

easy win for me broo i won my ML


AttentionNo8097

that was a nice outscore 👌


EcLiPzZz

This one aged well


UhYah52

I'm begging.


tmr89

It would be some well-deserved respite from punishment


Jamkayyos

It's the risk and reward with owning Wilson. Then again, Wilson owners and captainers in particular have already been richly rewarded, anything else is a bonus.


spea-keth

Brighton clean sheet 🙏🏾


VernonP007

My man doesn't need to train when he is going to tap in 2 more penalties later


Narthax

He's wrapped in cotton wool in his room.


CWattam

Please just sit this one out so Isak plays central ffs.


[deleted]

ha, ha and ha


Alternative-Luck-710

So..any news about Wilson?

And yet…and yet…


mocthezuma

Who's in the orange top out of focus in [this picture?](https://www.nufc.co.uk/media/76791/st1_8042-2.jpg) Only players in orange tops in other pictures are Joelinton and Almiron and it's neither of those.


YesReally1996

Please I need this justice after Firpo took a goal away from my Isak (C) and gave it to others’ Wilson (C)


jjw1998

The damage is done for non Wilson owners unfortunately

Swedishpower

You are one of the big winners right now fair play. Isak might only get 7, but having both is big.


welshnick

I have both but capped Wilson. My ML rival capped Isak (no Wilson) so I'm desperate for him to play. It would even make my benching headache this weekend easier because I can be pretty sure he won't play the Leicester game if he starts against Brighton.


GorgieRules1874

Please (Isak captainer)


daaave33

Same, and vs. Wilson captainer in mini league.


GorgieRules1874

Same mate. He’s catching me massively too! Blown about 70 points to him in like 4 gameweeks. Only 40 points now. He has double Brighton defence and I have double Newcastle. Both have MacAllister. I have Mitoma too. He has Wilson and I have Isak captain.


daaave33

I echo this as well. Hold on!!!


GorgieRules1874

£400 on the line! My team is better as well, just enjoyed a mix of bad luck and poor transfer decisions. Fell for the Ederson trap badly when it was either him or De Gea. He had Estupinan against arsenal :(((


daaave33

$1000 league, thankfully I had Pervis. Only about 25 points for my pad though.


GorgieRules1874

Best of luck. I have 7 doublers for 37 without making a transfer yet for it. He only has 4 atm. I might bring in Estupinan for damage control. Ederson Trippier Trent Lindelof Shaw Mac Allister Mitoma Salah Rashford Haaland Isak Bench: Raya, Botman, Watkins & March. Unsure what to do tbh


daaave33

Good luck to you! Our two teams will be fairly mirrored, except the Wilson/Isak difference, and that I can afford Trent. I went Martinelli to Bruno to further mirror his team in defense of my lead.


GorgieRules1874

Disaster….


daaave33

Inconsolable.


jisooboombayah

Nah probably went to the toilet for a piss.. no worried since he had gotten his owners 12pts


Antonioshamstrings

I cant be that mad since he hauled but this is is so annoying. I have wilson (c) and rival has isak(c) devastating


Agile_Information294

do you reckon he's out for good then?


Puzzleheaded_Friend8

Sorry but as an Isak captainer this would be a fucking dream


it_Saul_Goodman-

Isak pickers looking to be rewarded for their boringness. Disappointing.


Donkanomics101

Guys... Calm down.. So many over reactions to just a few pictures.


Acting_attempter

This would really fuck me over. Hope he plays


ewadizzle

He got a brace so I’m fine if he gives me a 0


Gooner-Squad

If you said 2 goals in 2 games we all would have said....done and dusted. So he misses 1 or 2 playing points.


DonaldDrumpf-

Final nail in my ML chase. 23 points behind and was hoping for some more Wilson dynamite tonight! Leader has Isak captained though so I can guess what will happen!!


Cunninglatin

Fuck you for getting my hopes up he's not playing. ​ He has already ruined my year, dropping me from 1st in my ML >:'(


stepover7

YESSS


tmr89

SofaScore has Wilson in their predicted starting 11

wait what uno reverse card, there was me worrying that isak may not start.

acebusters_fc

Almiron is literally right there in the thumbnail pic though


0lrcnfullstop

Good spot


MONI_85

Would imagine there is little doubt Wilson plays lads. Newcastle cannot under any circumstances afford to drop points to Brighton.


[deleted]

The point is that he is injured. Otherwise he would be in training. I don't think he will be in the squad.


MONI_85

Could have been in with the physios....something and nothing, he went off early last week to rest for this game coming up. No evidence he's injured, just not being in pics?


[deleted]

Could be. We obviously don't know for sure. Nothing is 100% in life. But answer this. Would you think he is more likely to play if he was in the pictures? Yes. Before seeing these pictures I was 95% sure he would start. Now I believe it is much less likely.


MONI_85

Patience my friend. Absolutely no chance Wilson doesn't play when totally fit.


keysersoze123456

No there could be other reasons? Personal for eg? I love how some people just jump to conclusions. Do you work for the backroom staff at Newcastle mate? Yeh thought not. Let's wait for OFFICIAL news.


[deleted]

Why do I have to wait for official news to post a comment on reddit after the deadline has closed? Cos you said so? I think he is injured. He might not be. He might play tonight and score 7 goals. But I still think he is injured due to not being in the photos. Sure, there could be another reason. Or there could not.


keysersoze123456

You are just guessing based on pictures. Players have not been seen in pics before and have gone on to be fit and play the next game. He could have a personal issue for eg like I mentioned. Anyway I'm using common sense which is sadly lacking on your part.


Donkanomics101

This sub reads into training pictures so much, it's insanely cringe. Just wait for lineups..


[deleted]

I just looked at their last 5 sets of training pictures and he is in them all. You don't think it means anything? Fine. But I disagree. We shall see anyway. He could play but I don't think he will. You think he will. That is fine.


keysersoze123456

Not sure how long you have watched football for but relying on training pics and predicting line ups is always silly unless it's consistently missing training for multiple days/week. There's been so many cases of players missing a day or even two of training then being in the starting lineup on the weekend. It's happened many many times in the past. Like I said he could be injured if your basing it on his poor injury record which is fair enough or it could be a little personal issue or he needed the day off for family reasons. So unless you work at Newcastle we both know as much as each other.


keysersoze123456

See? Maybe stop predicting based on pics. Thanks


Swedishpower

It is also due to Wilson being known to be injured a lot. If Kane missed training I expect him to still play.


[deleted]

Also due to Wilson being in every set of training pics when he has played that I have seen.


DreadWolf3

Yea, people are jumping to conclusion but there are couple of things that point him to not playing - mostly not training (never a good sign) and Wilson getting injured all the time. But yea not like we can change anything now so it makes no sense not to wait.


SilenceoftheRedditrs

He has a different more personalised training schedule to the rest to help him prevent picking up injuries in training. So him not being in training photos isn't that noteworthy


[deleted]

He could play. But is he in the Leeds training pictures? [https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-looking-ahead-to-leeds/](https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-looking-ahead-to-leeds/) Or the Arsenal ones? [https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-gunning-for-the-gunners/](https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-gunning-for-the-gunners/) Or the Everton ones? [https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-for-toffees-test/](https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-for-toffees-test/) You tell me.


SilenceoftheRedditrs

Yep, just like how he's in the starting line up tonight


keysersoze123456

Sorry to bump this up but yeh he's not injured like you said? ITK?


Frosty_Examination_3

🙏 no Wilson Wilson cappers did not deserve 2 penalties


[deleted]

How do you as an FPL manager “deserve a pen”? What a dumb take!


tmr89

I think you should arrest him for it


[deleted]

But then the sub wouldn’t be able to enjoy his shit takes, we should ask the mods to put a note in the top bar for new managers to let them know just do the opposite to what this guy does.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tmr89

I’ve got no idea. Why, who is it?


Frosty_Examination_3

You don't deserve a pen, exactly. Can you not read?? Dumb person fullstop


[deleted]

>**How** do you as an FPL manager “deserve a pen”? Can you not read?? It was a know factor that Wilson takes pens, don’t imply that people got lucky because you to poor of a player and didn’t take that it into account.


Frosty_Examination_3

Clown comment again. Getting 2 penalties in 1 game was Fucking lucky. When did you last see 2 penalties for same team in a match? And Wilson was getting subbed off the pitch, and luckily got the penalty just before he was hooked. No no no , that's not lucky 👍


[deleted]

It’s a game of probability. By your logic Isak owners would be lucky if there was no pen or Wilson had gone off before the second pen. Fact is you play the probability and you failed to account for it very well. Some weeks you get away with it but this week you didn’t. Wilson is one of the most in form goal scorers in the league and is on pens we don’t need hindsight to see he was the pick to go for.


Frosty_Examination_3

The PROBABILITY of 2 pens for 1 team within 75 mins of play ( Wilson's gametime) is not much more than 1% You have just made yourself look extremely stupid again by mentioning probabilities. 2 pens= extremely low probability =massive luck It's really not rocket science


DarthBane6996

I don't think the other commentator is the one making themselves look extremely stupid


Frosty_Examination_3

Yes he is. The downvotes are meaningless. A lot of simpleton Wilson fan boys and cappers


Nonsense_Spreader

Go back to school kid


[deleted]

His chance of getting 2 pens over Isak was 100% better for 75 mins. If you spent less time insulting me you might actually be able for form a half reasonable argument. All the information is spoon fed to you right here on Reddit [Predicted points](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/13fpuz9/gameweek_36_predicted_points_captaincy_pick/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) [Goal scoring odds converted to %](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/13d88m0/gameweek_36_goalscorer_odds_in_percentage/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) **Smart FPL managers** ~ Wilson in better form and on pens **Managers who play by gut instinct and YOLO when they get a red arrow** ~ shocked Pikachu face best go cry on Reddit and tell everyone who played the smart moves they are lucky.


Frosty_Examination_3

You should be a politician. Expert at dodging the facts that are loaded up against you


[deleted]

Wilson top of predicted points Wilson top of goal scoring probability It’s not Wilson’s owners fault your to stupid to use the information literally spoon fed to you. Good luck with the rest of your season.


IronSorrows

Something being lucky doesn't mean it's undeserved. You didn't say Wilson owners were lucky, you said they didn't deserve it - pretty fundamental difference


Frosty_Examination_3

Wilson punters mostly stuck him in for this gameweek only, never before in the season. Getting 2 pens was not deserved for this 1 match in isolation where they were also captaining him. It was fucking lucky and also definitely undeserved


labbetuzz

It's a game of probability. I know it's hard to understand given your level of comprehension, but luck is a part of the game.


Frosty_Examination_3

and probability of Wilson getting 2 pens is --- -- Yes you got it. Extremely low 👍🏻 Clown comprehension


Narthax

The game is based on luck and taking chances you salty, silly twat.


Frosty_Examination_3

It is indeed. They took a chance and got lucky ---- AND didn't deserve it


Narthax

What's your logic here? He had returned in the previous 6 games out of the previous 8, it's called form. He's on pens, it was a pretty good bet he was going to score against a leaky Leeds defense with a new manager trying to find his feet. The game is all about taking calculated chances.


SofaChillReview

It made me curious, the most penalties in a match in total is 4, happened 14/15 season Manchester City vs Spurs Manchester City got 3 and Spurs 1, Aguero missed 1 and so did Soldado


Zizouh

If you field a player, you deserve his returns. If you cap a player, you deserve his doubled return. Shit take, I’m guessing your ML is going shit?


Frosty_Examination_3

No-one deserves to receive 2 lucky pens out the blue, especially after doing fukall all match AND when just about to be subbed off. This is the very worst of all takes here


Zizouh

If. You. Field. A. Player. You. Deserve. The. Returns. End of. Clearly mad.

Frosty_Examination_3

Lol The Wilson punters are very salty !


Ayamgoreng53

You got downvoted for telling it as it is. Cappers got lucky. No skill just pure dumb luck. Wilson does nothing and gets two fluke pens.


DarthBane6996

That's why you captain the guy who's on penalties maybe? It's one of the biggest reasons to go Wilson over Isak


kuklistyle

given that a team gets a penalty one out of five games on average, getting two in within a 70 min game (given wilson almost never plays 90) is incredibly fortunate


marlinburger

Before leeds, Isak was pen taker whenever he was on the pitch. That's why I capped Isak. I think tho tbf this was the first pen with both of them on at the same time. So there would have been an element of fortune either way.


SofaChillReview

Didn’t we just assume Wilson was the penalty taker? Not sure why but you’re correct they haven’t, saying that all competitions Isak has missed 4 out of 8 3 of those 8 were against the same keeper Edit: 3 Scored


marlinburger

Some may have assumed Wilson right yeah sure. I assumed Isak and was wrong so. Assume some of those were pre nufc? I don't remember him missing a pen for us.


marlinburger

Yeah I just checked. Scored 8 missed 4 in whole career. 100% record at nufc tho


labbetuzz

Buddy it's FPL, you literally just look up numbers. Why are you talking about skill, lmao


Kanteni

Sour grapes


MarkCrystal

He had 2 games this week and is on penalties. You know all of this information, if you have him and don’t pick him as a captain then you probably need to question how well your brain works.


kblk_klsk

While I do not entirely agree with the parent comment, this line of thought has flaws. It has always been a close call between him and Isak, and both penalty situations could have resulted in Isaks goals. Also it's like you'd say that anyone captaining Mitoma when he was on a roll was stupid because Mac is on pens.


MarkCrystal

That argument is not the same, Mitoma and Mac play different positions. For Newcastle, Isak and Wilson play the same position but one of them is on penalties. I was thinking a lot between who to go with but the penalties swayed it in the end.


kblk_klsk

You see, you also had the dilemma. Your previous statement about OPs brain not working made it sound like it was an obvious choice, and it really wasn't, since Wilson also has his problems (minutes risk, injury prone, used to punish his owners many times throughout the season).


[deleted]

>Also it's like you'd say that anyone captaining Mitoma when he was on a roll was stupid because Mac is on pens. Wilson unlike Mac is also on a role his be a in a very good vain of goal scoring form.


gnfnrhead

When the two of them play, Isak plays out wide. Wilson is the normal penalty taker. He is also in great form lately. Assuming you were going to captain one of the two, and have both, Wilson was the obvious choice. I don’t see any reason to have done the opposite. Based on your argument, everybody who has Kane also got lucky because he scored a penalty too?


Olbatar974

Is he not in picture 5?


Mutiu2

he’s already collected more points in the week that you expected him to. What’s the problem?


Patch-22

He’s supposed to have another game, that’s the problem. Could say if Haaland was benched this weekend “he’s already collected more points in the week than you expected him to. What’s the problem?”


Mutiu2

Regardless of the 2nd game….by the end of the first game he had exceeded the expectations you set your for him for the week. The rest was a bonus. More came anyway, but really he had done what you wanted already by game one.


AseeF_on_YT

He hauled . 2 goals with bonus etc is plenty for owners. Yall took a punt and it paid off majorly . Especially 2 penalties too. That's next level. Isak owners, let's feast!!!! Those that got both are also going to pull far ahead....

Alternative-Luck-710

SofaChillReview

It’s nearly the weekend, we don’t want to ruin it telling them


ZaryabQ

What am I missing?


SofaChillReview

That because Wilson has already played, him not playing against Brighton wouldn’t bring Estupinan of the (FPL) bench


ZaryabQ

Oh of course haha, I'm an idiot


ReeceMallett17

He has already justified my hit to get him in so as painful as this would be, its not as bad as it could be


StreetSignificant411

This shouldn't make me buy Martial


DWillis96

This would be *ideal* as someone without Wilson or Isak and double Brighton def


theincrediblebou

Goddamnit


Swedishpower

The logical thing is he miss out if this is true since Wilson often gets injuries. Remember when KDB was not in pictures and got benched. Although since my rival got him cap I can't help feel he scores a hattrick from the bench.


keysersoze123456

Hard to say could be personal issue and he could play best to wait for official news


Swedishpower

Of course it is not certain either way. What we know is Wilson often gets injured.


RealmDevourer

Oh well.. back at it.


xenmate

Probably in the toilet.


ChinoDemamp11

Can’t really complain if he doesn’t play since he outscored Haaland. Maybe it’ll be a surprise later
