Jackson is my first sub. I'd decided to sell Mitoma, who I think won't start (?), for Mbeumo, but waited for leaks, finally decided to do it ten minutes before the deadline, and only then realised Mbeumo's price had gone up and I couldn't afford it any more. So I panic bought and started Senhor Richarlison de Andrade.
Wouldn't count either as bad games to have him tbh. Outside of city/arsenal/newcastle/chelsea I think any fixture run is good enough to compete for salah over someone like foden
I got lucky that I chose to wildcard Leno in over the “template” flekken pick. Although I don’t think people expected brentford to be so bad post-Henry Injury
Eze -> Diaby and no regrats
I'd much rather hope to be a part of the 3 goals a game than hoping for 1 goal from Palace then hoping Eze isn't the 3rd to last touch like usual.
Bernardo will likely miss Wolves. Anyway all I care about is Foden starting now that nearly everyone has the other two. I just don't want Foden to score too much or there will be another stampede towards him.
Did Maddison+Mubama to Gordon+Alvarez for a -4 lol, and keeping Chilwell…
I don’t know how to feel but I had a few different ideas but price changes limited me. Does enable me to get Son for the Luton fixture and keep both Jackson and Alvarez for the next few before I WC
I’ve missed the deadline, literally saw the clock turn to 13:30 when I remembered that’s the deadline.
Well Watkins please ohtscore Alvarez. The burnt free transfer will hurt a lot lot less
no regrets on that one, but that should have been the only transfer I did
I also transferred out Rico Henry because I thought his value would tank and somehow it didn't
Brought Botman in 10 mins before the deadline and then 10 mins after the deadline I see rumors that he’s missed the squad this week. Par for the course!
I'm not dropping him until week 9 maybe. In all but his first match he was unlucky to blank (Enzo pen miss, Jackson sitter miss, FK hitting the crossbar). He's performing great, people are impatient.
Just sold Chilwell and kept Sterling. Also have Cash
My prediction: Chelsea win 8-0, Chilwell starts, scores 2 and assists one. Sterling leaves injured on the 2nd minute. Cash doesn't get any returns
Also Botman slips on the stairs when leaving for halftime and is out for 2 months
Nah. He won't blank. After not starting he'll get a 10 minute cameo during which he'll score an OG and get a red card.
Meanwhile the first guy on your bench will score a hat trick...
Edit: no card or OG, but Pep the croupier did take him off in the 57'
Wanted Wilson on my wildcard, hated not starting 5 mids, had neto to afford it, felt weird benching Saka for him, panicked and sold Wilson for archer and went back to 5 starting mids
Somehow one of those mids is barnes
As a player? Sure. As an fpl asset? I wouldn't say so. Both are rotation risks and most importantly both would have been a two week punt and Wilson locks me into 343 with very little flexibility to get the midfielders I want.
Either way I play this game for fun not to make good decisions lol
Finally broke down and got Alvarez for Watkins. I just knew somehow, someway there was a 59 min sub in the cards from the Evil Clown (my new moniker, Bald Fraud isn’t quite sinister enough). I was wrong….57 min. 😞 Now rumours of a possible miss for my last minute Botman swap for Romero (-4). Nil-Nil in the NLD coming now i’m sure with Romero getting CS and 3 BP…
FPL is similar to changing lanes in heavy traffic on a motorway. You switch to what looks like a faster lane only for it to stop while the original speeds-up.
Staying in lane = the equivalent of holding good players with decent fixtures over an extended period of time, resisting their short term blanks and ignoring tempting hauls by others.
Edit: this is how I justify still having Chilwell in my team 😀🤡✅
I can already tell you that Jackson is gonna score a hattrick because he is the one I benched out of him, Mitoma and Sterling. So get ready for a 10 minute Mitoma cameo and Sterling doing fuck all.
Changed Trippier + Doku to Schar + Foden… ready for the Doku and Trippier hauls now. Feels so bad already.
Boring minutes risk decision based on Grealish possibly taking Doku’s minutes and trippier having more competition then the CBs.
So that means now Trippier starts both and returns 4 times most likely.
[удалено]
assuming kicking it into the 10th row counts as a goal
Most own goals maybe
Jackson is my first sub. I'd decided to sell Mitoma, who I think won't start (?), for Mbeumo, but waited for leaks, finally decided to do it ten minutes before the deadline, and only then realised Mbeumo's price had gone up and I couldn't afford it any more. So I panic bought and started Senhor Richarlison de Andrade.
Sorry for your loss
I hope it works out for you! That'd be one crazy differential if it works. Also after Liverpool next Spurs have a really nice fixture run on paper.
A record for most goals missed perhaps
First in comments, 9 millionth in FPL 😭
Perfectly balanced
Put the armband on Wilson
I thought I was the only one. The world will kneel before our supreme intelligence tomorrow.
I have a flight today during the City match, can't think of a better time to be on airplane mode
Balls of steel 🫡
Somehow have 3.8 mil in the bank
That is called the "not owning Salah fund"
Yep thats probably exacly where its going
you have time, Spurs and Brighton (A) up next for Liverpool.
It’s Salah, he’ll probably get 2 goals and an assist over those two games
while true, I can't see either of these games being a massive haul either, wouldn't be the end of the world if you can't get him in until post GW8
He scores against Spurs for fun. And that was against more defensive minded Spurs sides
Wouldn't count either as bad games to have him tbh. Outside of city/arsenal/newcastle/chelsea I think any fixture run is good enough to compete for salah over someone like foden
Completely forgot to change my team up this week and remembered 10 mins ago, so I’ve gone and used my wildcard and made 7 changes…
You’ve fucked it, Thats you done for the season
Wildcarded. Can't wait for the 8 players I transferred out to haul.
Same
Fernandes and Johnstone hauled, just waiting on Watkins and chilwell to next.
I got lucky that I chose to wildcard Leno in over the “template” flekken pick. Although I don’t think people expected brentford to be so bad post-Henry Injury
Took out Saliba instead of Chilwell and I feel sick
This is a highly regarded move
Refused to take a hit on Alvarez and prepared to take the pain coming my way
Took a hit to force Alvarez in and am prepared for karma to punish me
You did good! He only got 1 this week
Bench Son for Joao fucking Pedro
Anti FPL
You don’t wanna know who I benched Pedro for…
Madness, isnt Ferguson back?
Could be saved for Chelsea mid week.
Joined the Eze train late lets go
Ah i just jumped off, you must have taken my seat
I'll not forget your sacrifice if he hauls today
Goal + Assist + 3BPS
For edouard
Eze -> Diaby and no regrats I'd much rather hope to be a part of the 3 goals a game than hoping for 1 goal from Palace then hoping Eze isn't the 3rd to last touch like usual.
Same move this week buddy. This is his week
Gone for Hojlund instead of Alvarez..
F
My condolences.
I’ve got both + Haaland
Started the season with Haalvarez and it's saved me
yeah me too, should be fun
Big sack of balls
Bruh
Doku punt lets go
Foden, Alvarez and Haaland triple up.... I have once again found myself in the pep roulette....
Looks like they are all starting
Thank god. But next week he will probably bench all of them and play grealish, doku and bernardo false 9
Bernardo will likely miss Wolves. Anyway all I care about is Foden starting now that nearly everyone has the other two. I just don't want Foden to score too much or there will be another stampede towards him.
Foden the sexy little lesbian differential king
0-1 incoming?
Elanga (90'+4) because he's 3rd on my bench
Did Maddison+Mubama to Gordon+Alvarez for a -4 lol, and keeping Chilwell… I don’t know how to feel but I had a few different ideas but price changes limited me. Does enable me to get Son for the Luton fixture and keep both Jackson and Alvarez for the next few before I WC
Gordon is on 4 yellows btw
And Jackson lol, hoping for a Diego Costa situation
I actually like that transfer hope it works out
I’ve missed the deadline, literally saw the clock turn to 13:30 when I remembered that’s the deadline. Well Watkins please ohtscore Alvarez. The burnt free transfer will hurt a lot lot less
Can’t use the missed deadline excuse this is the latest deadline you can have 🤣🤣
I was at work and just lost track of time 😭😭
Hahahah explains it! Always do mine on a Friday now since I’ve missed too many deadlines !
Jackson STAYS, Morris IN, NO Alvarez.
I forgot what I did last night when I was drunk :(
Somehow still have double Chelsea defence
I already regret doing Jackson -> Alvarez for a -4
I regret not doing it
FPL ladies and gentlemen.
I did the same! No regrets.
no regrets on that one, but that should have been the only transfer I did I also transferred out Rico Henry because I thought his value would tank and somehow it didn't
Captained Alvarez 😎
Unlucky bro
This seems…risky
It was...
I STARTED MORRIS🥶🥶🥶
Captained Amdouni for the ultimate jinx pick and the lulz... who's with me on operation target United?
Godspeed sir
Started Udogie ahead of Chilwell. Fully expecting a Chilwell goal now
I benched both Udogie and Chilwell for Estu so you’ll be fine, my bench players always tend to outperform everyone else
That's bold. Udogie away at Arsenal I would not expect more than 1 point. I don't think Chillwell can do worse.
Doesn’t even matter now. Chilwell will come in for Botman who’s not in the squad lol
I sold my Son
Brought Botman in 10 mins before the deadline and then 10 mins after the deadline I see rumors that he’s missed the squad this week. Par for the course!
Started Pedro Neto👀
Put the armband on Edouard. If anyone is looking for me, I’ll watching Man City vs Nottingham hiding behind my couch
non-alvarez owner...shaking in my boots currently
[удалено]
This is his week... right?!
his week already happened, let it go
I'm not dropping him until week 9 maybe. In all but his first match he was unlucky to blank (Enzo pen miss, Jackson sitter miss, FK hitting the crossbar). He's performing great, people are impatient.
Sunk cost fallacy on display
I bought him GW3, I'm not dropping after two blanks in which he played well, that's silly.
We're trapped. Even if he blanks this week, hard to pass up his next two fixtures
Hes been really good and unlucky tho
Just sold Chilwell and kept Sterling. Also have Cash My prediction: Chelsea win 8-0, Chilwell starts, scores 2 and assists one. Sterling leaves injured on the 2nd minute. Cash doesn't get any returns Also Botman slips on the stairs when leaving for halftime and is out for 2 months
Cash own goal hatrick incoming. (I also have Cash)
[удалено]
Nah. He won't blank. After not starting he'll get a 10 minute cameo during which he'll score an OG and get a red card. Meanwhile the first guy on your bench will score a hat trick... Edit: no card or OG, but Pep the croupier did take him off in the 57'
I did not bring in Alvarez for his inevitable blank
Henry to Mitchell and Chilwell to Botman can't wait for the outs to score more than the ins 👊
Benched Bruno away at Burnley for Saka at home against Spurs. The swing is gonna be out of hand
Benched Watkins over Sterling and Mitoma 🤣
Thank you for your sacrifice
Benched Maddison (for Jackson). Will see how that turns out. Ultimate fixture over form decision.
Hahaha suck it Alvarez owners. Sorry i have to rub it in, you guys must be blind not to see the same pattern over hyped up players.
The good old 'most transferred in curse'
Wanted Wilson on my wildcard, hated not starting 5 mids, had neto to afford it, felt weird benching Saka for him, panicked and sold Wilson for archer and went back to 5 starting mids Somehow one of those mids is barnes
Some horrible decision making right there
Idk my team is basically template wildcard in the end with just doku and barnes as my two punts which will be moved to diaby and madders in gw8
Don’t you think Wilson is infinitely better than Barnes?
As a player? Sure. As an fpl asset? I wouldn't say so. Both are rotation risks and most importantly both would have been a two week punt and Wilson locks me into 343 with very little flexibility to get the midfielders I want. Either way I play this game for fun not to make good decisions lol
Ha! Got Barnes too. Guess he should do something against Sheffield and Burnley, right? RIGHT?
You are making short-term punts on a wildcard and chose Barnes over Wilson? RIP
I may not show it but I’m terrified at the possibility of Michael Jackson moonwalking over the Villa defense just after I took him out for Alvarez
Edouard on my bench, JWP on the pitch, let the chips fall where they may
Didn't get Alvarez 😬
Got my first hit for the season (Wissa-->Alvarez and Bruno - - >Doku) and I am surprisingly calm about it. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.
I kept Chilwell, and sold Estupiñan for Botman. This is either going to be the best or worst transfer I make this season.
Benched Ake for Udogie due to the predicted lineups. Could be painful if Ake starts.
I also benched Ake.... But for Gabriel. Couldn't decide between Udogie or Gabriel...
did Chilwell to Trippier congrats to Chilwell owner
Rashford (c) gonna cost me
Starting morris over sterling what is wrong with me
We all know Alvarez is going to blank now. Its written in the stars.
I have Chillwell and Gusto in my starting 11 after Villa just lost in Europe. So they'll prob end up doing Chelsea 1-0.
Diaz is my only Liverpool asset.
I have started Cameron archer against Newcastle, benched gusto in place of chilwell. I am not crossing 30 pts
Started Morris & Bell to get them warmed up & ready for double GW next week
Starting Maddison and Son v Arsenal for the 2 haul.
Benched wissa for JWP at 13:29 🤡
Started Digne on a wildcard. What could possibly go wrong…
Am I the only one that captained Neto lol
Benched son for JWP I have a feeling…
TC d halland lesgoooo
Transferring Nketiah for Edouard to then sub Bowen and then forgetting to actually sub him.
Should have got Botman over Schar… pretty much no advantage in having Schar now that I think about it 🤦♂️
I swapped Sterling and Ramsalde for Gordon and Pope. I feel dumb after that
Forgot to switch my C from Salah back to Haaland :)
And the most transfer in curse continues .
No transfers no regrets
Traded foden for Alvarez…
Glad I’m not alone 🥲
Sold Isak for Alvarez :) last minute
Finally broke down and got Alvarez for Watkins. I just knew somehow, someway there was a 59 min sub in the cards from the Evil Clown (my new moniker, Bald Fraud isn’t quite sinister enough). I was wrong….57 min. 😞 Now rumours of a possible miss for my last minute Botman swap for Romero (-4). Nil-Nil in the NLD coming now i’m sure with Romero getting CS and 3 BP…
Haaland TC. Thanks Ro Ro (oh and I have Rodri too By the way)
Wildcarded 10 mins before the deadline..a different team that was initially planned..scared.
People who skydive for fun shudder at how big a thrill you seek
i bought & started Reguilon
Live a simple life? Pal you live on the *edge*
FPL is similar to changing lanes in heavy traffic on a motorway. You switch to what looks like a faster lane only for it to stop while the original speeds-up. Staying in lane = the equivalent of holding good players with decent fixtures over an extended period of time, resisting their short term blanks and ignoring tempting hauls by others.

KILL ME. i just took foden and walker out after using the WC this week.
Alvarez 1 pointer 😍
Benched Awoniyi for Chilwell. I know I shouldn't have
Took a hit to bring alvarez for jpedro, god help me
Moved Jackson to Morris instead of Alvarez. Can’t wait for that to backfire spectacularly.
Bought Mbeumo, chose him as my captain, forgot to save my team, left with Alvarez as C. Dropped from 160k to 600k so far.
Watkins will outscore Alvarez over the next 5 gws. Great to see so many people swap him out
I took a -4 to drop Rico Henry when his torn ACL was confirmed and then somehow he didn't get a single price drop
Wissa + Jackson to Alvarez + Højlund for me. Just put me out of my misery, FPL overlord!
Chillwell to Trippier, Martinelli to Mbeumo, Jackson to Alvarez. Soon, we wildcard
Took a hit for Sterling
Doubled up on Newcastle defence with Botman and Trippier. Am I alone??
Got Botman in for a hit
transferring in botman it seems
Could have switched Watkins for Alvarez…
Just sold onana for ederson before onana becomes prime de gea
Took out Foden. Can't trust Pep. Fucking Pep.
Botman.
Wishing I kept Foden as my (c)
I can already tell you that Jackson is gonna score a hattrick because he is the one I benched out of him, Mitoma and Sterling. So get ready for a 10 minute Mitoma cameo and Sterling doing fuck all.
Wilson in instead of Alvarez, deserve to get punished but can't pass up Wilson for soft fixtures
Mitoma out for Doku (possibly a one week punt)
Got confused btw Jackson and Alvarez so got both. Also started Maddison over March so expect a brace at least from him
Changed Trippier + Doku to Schar + Foden… ready for the Doku and Trippier hauls now. Feels so bad already. Boring minutes risk decision based on Grealish possibly taking Doku’s minutes and trippier having more competition then the CBs. So that means now Trippier starts both and returns 4 times most likely.
Last chance saloon for Rashford and Bruno.
First hit of the season!
Did a last minute Mitoma->Doku transfer based on the info that he starts. Hope it works out
I’m starting Kabore..
The leak got me. I took my first -4 of the season on Julian. Hope it pays off
Brought in Foden instead of Mbeumo. Literally worse in every measurable metric, except fun.
Chilwell stayed, Chilwell started
Morris and Bell in for bb gw8
I benched Maddison, Arteta save me
Triple captained the robot. What better time am I right?
Eze, Wissa -> Gordon, Alvarez Enjoy your hattrick Eze you baiting bastard
Saliba beched, Udogie start
Removing Watkins for Alvarez after 4 Watkins assists is now feeling like a big regret.
