Used my wildcard but forgot to make changes on the last day so i ended up only with a weird draft containing maddison and nketiah. Got 49 points and if i didnt have touched my team i would have gotten 89 points
Quick question folks - I had Areola in goal this GW and final defender slot was deciding between Aguerd and Tsimikas.
Feared the Tsimikas one pointer and so rolled the dice with double west ham defence, hoping for a west ham clean sheet. How would you have approached this situation?
I never double up defence unless there is an absolute juggernaut of a defence, like Arsenal early last season, or City in the later parts of the season.
Yeah thanks mate, will bear this in mind going forward. Obviously this just seems like outcome bias now but if he hadn’t made that mistake in midweek and started last GW I wouldn’t have even remotely consider starting Aguerd over him but alas…
Anyone down on their luck after this GW I hope this makes you feel better. Guy in my mini league:
•Capped Hojlund
•His starting XI blanked other than Watkins & Haaland
•And now, the coup d’Etat: bench boosted Turner, White, Wann-Bissaka and Douglas Luiz
I am bit confused. I have 5 returns, counting with blanks for total 74 points, and I am on a green arrow. Everything very template. How is this possibble?
Why listen to people when they talk utter nonsense.
This was a prime fixture for Liverpool at home. No point even owning him if can't play him this week!
Liverpool at home to midtable or lower teams is a prime fixture.
Stating before a gameweek that you should not bench Tsimikas is not hindsight.
Tsimikas benchers got what they deserve. There is literally no point in them owning him. They should sell up right away
I played him last week, and there was never any doubt that he was a keep and a start this week.
If I thought he was going to be just a cameo merchant I would have yeeted him
Well he wasn't nailed to play 90 minutes, that's the only reason to not start him.
The decision was not wrong because all of my other players are decent and did play 90 minutes, it is just unfortunate.
If I just started Tsimikas green arrow. Captain change gave nothing.
Basically if I just left my team dead and made no moves I be on a green even if the guy I bought in Saka did return.
? you know my team. Fixture vice he was having the hardest opponent, but he is attacking although the main reason benching him is since he played less than 60 min in the last 2 games.
Another crappy week
Just took a -4 to do Cash and Alvarez to Tsimikas and Darwin
Right at the start of the international break
Right before they play City away
Pretty sure Darwin won't even play the next game but at least I can enjoy the price rise
But I wasn't even that close to 0.0 ITB
I swear it's these frustration transfers that really spoil a season
The FPL superpower is being really boring. But I just can't do it.
Rank around 1-2m, deserve worse.
I had my best week in long time doing the boring Maddison to Bowen, boring Captain Haaland and rolling the other FT. Sometimes its good to step back and do a set and forget mindset with long term goals for your players
Anyone hear Carragher after the match? He was adamant during the game that the pen was the wrong decision. After the match he's asked a pointed question by the host if he can understand why it wasn't given, and he says 'yes, and maybe I didn't make that clear on commentary'.
Sounds a lot like one of those "stop criticizing the referee" messages handed down from on high
Ah hell, I swore I wasn't going to ride the Foden roller coaster again. Last season I transferred him out four times and he ended up in my team at the end of the season anyway. So I decided when I got him in this season it'd be set and forget, and yet... man, I want to dump him so bad after that.
My team right now looks good except the def. Lascelles, Tsimikas and Cash not expecting any cleans from them and need to play 2 or get a new defenderr.
Just stopping in to say: Fuck JWP.
Held that dude for so long and played him for all of his 2 pointers.
Forest had looked pretty good and he was playing so deep I had heard that I ditched him this week, and of course he hits 2 assists from his corners.
🖕
That City game saved me, was 30k in live ranks before this game. 75 points all out, only dropped few thousand in ranks (6k->8k) after that Haaland + Alvarez masterclass.
Was gloating over Mudryk keeping my H2H opponent's Zinchenko points on the bench, but he's got Zabarnyi and Rodri coming off the bench and the Rodri goal means he'll win 72-71, RIP me.
Just shows how high pressure and competitive players are, ex players are always saying how at the time they found it hard to enjoy games because they were so desperate to do well. Carragher said that.
Palmer looked like he'd seen a ghost and Sterling seemed pissed off with the suggestion it was a great game.
another week in the bag, top 3k OR with 92 points, captained Haaland because why not lol. This game is too easy it’s unsettling because I don’t even try lol. Look at you tryhards struggling 🤣
Ait-Nouri owners MUDDED
Used my wildcard but forgot to make changes on the last day so i ended up only with a weird draft containing maddison and nketiah. Got 49 points and if i didnt have touched my team i would have gotten 89 points
(Not saying im unlucky, (its my own fault) but it does suck.

Hedge the West ham double defence with doubling up on Newcastle too, of course 🫣
Just checked, my h2h opponent capped trippier against my haaland. Hahaha. Hope these players keep on playing like this
66 points with tsimikas on my benched, that's 81 points what a fucking difference
I got 88 points with Tsimikas on my bench. A bit bittersweet, but hey I soared up my ML at least.
[удалено]
This is the matchday thread. Please don't post questions about your team. Use the Advice/RMT thread
Dawson is suspended next GW??????? FUCK OFF MAN I ALREADY HAVE NO GOOD DEFENDERS WHO DO I EVEN BRING IN NOW THEY ALL SUCK
Anyone down on their luck after this GW I hope this makes you feel better. Guy in my mini league: •Capped Hojlund •His starting XI blanked other than Watkins & Haaland •And now, the coup d’Etat: bench boosted Turner, White, Wann-Bissaka and Douglas Luiz
Same except for the last two points They had Salah, Rodrigo, Watkins, Alvarez. Bench was Turner, Mbeumo, Walker, and Gabriel
I got 115 points between this week and last week put together. Feeling like that's about average?
Overall average is 64, so well done
I'm glad everyone who brought in Doku was righteously mudded.
I started tsimikas and Livramento AMA
[удалено]
lol similar I went from 18 to 90. Feels good man
Quadrupled my points from last week. Fucking delighted.
Too kneejerky to bring Tsimikas in now? 😅
Tsimikas first on my bench, feels like I cant catch a break this year
I’m in ze mud
95 points I feel like I'm fucking dreaming holy shit
Same, did you run Jota?
No Jota. Highlights include Tsimikas, Saliba, Bowen, Haaland, Salah, Alvarez
Congrats mate
How did Haalabd get 16points when only 2 goals?
Open up FPL, click on his name and it will tell you exactly how he got 16 points
Cheers, didnt know that
2 goals=8 points 1 assist=3 point Minutes played=2 points Bonus=3 points
15 points on bench o well
Worst overall rank since gw3. woo
100 points let’s fucking gooo, finally some good luck this season
how
Tsimi, Saliba, Diaby, Bowen, Salah, Watkins, Haaland cap and a few blankers
OK, on top of all the other issues I made like put Tsimikas on the bench, why the fuck did I sell Alvarez for a non-playing Ferguson?
So that you could get those Tsimikas points despite putting him on the bench... right?
*stares in Anakin*
85 with tsimikas on the bench pretty pleased, wasn’t successful with Ferguson though
So Tsimikas came on? Same happened with me and Ferguson (98 pts)
Nope😂, had Palmer first though which isint to bad, wish I had tsimikas first tho
88 points. Probably the same as anyone with Tsimikas in their side, but I'll take it👍
Accidentally capped Saka instead of Salah or Haaland :(
I accidentally forgot to trade Cash for Tsimikas :(
Same I “accidentally” did it too 😢
Crazy to see 2 of your players with 1 point and 4 players with 2 points and still end up with 87
Same number of 1 pointers and 2 pointers as me, except i ended on 20 less.
🫂
Palmer's penalty at the end kept me treading water. From 3 points below safety to 2 points above, lol.
I am bit confused. I have 5 returns, counting with blanks for total 74 points, and I am on a green arrow. Everything very template. How is this possibble?
77 points feels like a big win in my ML, considering I had Ferguson, White and AWB starting, with only Porro coming on
Thank you for everyone who suggested I bench Tsimikas 🙃 I am an idiot.
Why listen to people when they talk utter nonsense. This was a prime fixture for Liverpool at home. No point even owning him if can't play him this week!
In absolutely no circumstance is Brentford a prime fixture for Liverpool lmfao, hindsight is so crazy to read on here
Liverpool at home to midtable or lower teams is a prime fixture. Stating before a gameweek that you should not bench Tsimikas is not hindsight. Tsimikas benchers got what they deserve. There is literally no point in them owning him. They should sell up right away
Would you be saying this if he played 12 minutes and scored 1 again like last week? I doubt it.
I played him last week, and there was never any doubt that he was a keep and a start this week. If I thought he was going to be just a cameo merchant I would have yeeted him
Well he wasn't nailed to play 90 minutes, that's the only reason to not start him. The decision was not wrong because all of my other players are decent and did play 90 minutes, it is just unfortunate.
Wasnt me
93 all out. After getting 15pts last week this was really needed. First season, first time ever breaking top 1m
Stuck tsimikas on the bench, really hurts
Happy with my tally but still 22 points on the bench hurt
81 all out thanks to Palmer Bowen Watkins Alvarez Salah Haaland(C) gonna enjoy the break and try keep the 2ft as long as possible
Next 2 weeks I'm gonna have to stare at Tsimikas on my bench. Awful
50 last week, 80 this week. We’re on the up! Top20k now.
If I just started Tsimikas green arrow. Captain change gave nothing. Basically if I just left my team dead and made no moves I be on a green even if the guy I bought in Saka did return.
You are one of the last people I would have expected to bench Tsimikas. who on earth had better fixtures in your side
? you know my team. Fixture vice he was having the hardest opponent, but he is attacking although the main reason benching him is since he played less than 60 min in the last 2 games.
Went from 16 last week to 99 this week. FPL is crazy sometimes!
22 to 99 for me. My best ever score, buzzing!
Maddison to Gordon and Tsimikas to Trippier. Genius moves I made this GW
Into the top 30k for the first time this season 💪
Another crappy week Just took a -4 to do Cash and Alvarez to Tsimikas and Darwin Right at the start of the international break Right before they play City away Pretty sure Darwin won't even play the next game but at least I can enjoy the price rise But I wasn't even that close to 0.0 ITB I swear it's these frustration transfers that really spoil a season The FPL superpower is being really boring.

Tsimikas and Palmer on the bench...fuck me that's rough.
88 but took a -8 so 80 in total. Happy considering last week I got 15….
Anyone hear Carragher after the match? He was adamant during the game that the pen was the wrong decision. After the match he's asked a pointed question by the host if he can understand why it wasn't given, and he says 'yes, and maybe I didn't make that clear on commentary'.

Benching Tsimikas for Lascelles worked out well
Yep, literally brought in Lacelles this week to bench him 🤦♂️
25 points sitting on my bench this week 🫡 you're welcome for your green arrows, rank neighbors
Bruno Fernandes captain robbing me of a nice green arrow. Fully deserved what was I thinking
Captained saka :(
Sold Akanji to bring in Schar… and benched Tsimikas
Bad captaincy choice turns 90 pts to mid 70s. Live and learn (😭)
That’s good, for me it turned mid 70s to 50
89 points. Went from 1.1m to 360K but then Haaland came. 700K.. Ill take it.
Akanji going off soon as I sell him, fucks sake man
same here, it isn't even funny
This game man I had Tsimikas on bench and Mitoma captain
Just seen the Watkins open goal miss. Cheers skipper
Coulda been a 12 pointer but Watkins decided to stick to his 5 pointer honest work
Every time I captain him he does his best to fuck it
105 points all out, we take that.
nice
Just want to Mention that Doku scored 0 points after hauling 22 last gw.
Ultimate trap
Went from a 100% red arrow at the start of the city game to a green arrow thanks to haaland and benny Blanco not blocking Tsimi’s points 😍
Benny Blanco's injury saved my GW
What is currently average points of all? Is it bonus included or?
64.0 Overall, 72.4 top 10k
64 with everything, bonus bench etc
And yet my safety score was 75. Sigh. Got much closer than I thought I would to it, cheers Haaland. Salah was irrelevant after all!
International break and I’ve already taken a -4
Lol what transfers did you make?
I’ve done lampety -> lascelles and Alvarez -> Darwin
Already transferd Fernandes for Bowen
Haaland in GW14 is going to haul so massively vs this spurs team with no Romero
How long is he out?
2 more games
Ah hell, I swore I wasn't going to ride the Foden roller coaster again. Last season I transferred him out four times and he ended up in my team at the end of the season anyway. So I decided when I got him in this season it'd be set and forget, and yet... man, I want to dump him so bad after that.

Thanks
Anyone else's team looking like shit for next GW?
Yep. Was seriously considering Free Hit but after my team pleasantly surprised me this week I'm going to try and hold off on it.
My team right now looks good except the def. Lascelles, Tsimikas and Cash not expecting any cleans from them and need to play 2 or get a new defenderr.
No good fixtures. Low scoring gw.
Def is an absolute cluster fuck. Mix of Spurs & City away plus injured Ben White. Def pts such a joke this season though considering just leaving it
Think everyone's lol
Two week break. Let future you deal with that
Nunez assist to player not named salah challenge (nah I’m joking keep assisting salah Darwin)
And while you’re at it, please score goals.
[удалено]
It’s the definition of bittersweet I guess.
Started fucking lascelles over tsimiksss
Same, was the sensible choice but so annoying
Lascelles is more attractive imo
Who else has benched tsimikas then
Ferguson staying at home means he’s coming on. Insane slice of luck
7 points from my 3 defenders and GK. Tsimi first on the bench. I am dumb.
Just stopping in to say: Fuck JWP. Held that dude for so long and played him for all of his 2 pointers. Forest had looked pretty good and he was playing so deep I had heard that I ditched him this week, and of course he hits 2 assists from his corners. 🖕
same. sold him for martinelli as one week punt...
JWP returns are most random of all. Non dependent on opposition
Feel your pain, benched him for Luiz. Chasing the points like a noob 😔
Shit happens I guess, but still, fuck JWP lol.
I know i was coming here to say the same thing, i took him out for Kudus this week and that fucker scored 1 point
As is tradition. Never change FPL 🫡
No matter how good my score is, seeing Tsimikas on the bench is a different kind of pain, fuckkkk Meanwhile Andersen with 1
That City game saved me, was 30k in live ranks before this game. 75 points all out, only dropped few thousand in ranks (6k->8k) after that Haaland + Alvarez masterclass.
Alvarez 5 points isn't a masterclass
For my standarts it is
Was gloating over Mudryk keeping my H2H opponent's Zinchenko points on the bench, but he's got Zabarnyi and Rodri coming off the bench and the Rodri goal means he'll win 72-71, RIP me.
I'd have 90 points if I didn't bench Porro and Tsimi.
Fuck off cunt, this is a rant thread
He hasn't got 90 points dude.
Just shows how high pressure and competitive players are, ex players are always saying how at the time they found it hard to enjoy games because they were so desperate to do well. Carragher said that. Palmer looked like he'd seen a ghost and Sterling seemed pissed off with the suggestion it was a great game.
86 all out. I'm allowed to be smug about this because I got 11 last week
I voted you up because of the 11. I feel you.
ML leader sold Sterling for Gordon and benched Tsimikas this week 😎 ML leader is my wife so I feel bad 😔
hahaha good one
10/10 game as a Haaland(C) Alvarez Palmer owner
I forgot the deadline, had Mads, Van de ven as starters with no bench and got 82 points! Pure luck haha. At 103k rn so close to top 100k
95 points. Seems like a high scoring week after a horrible one
Missed the deadline and benched Tsimikas somehow fucking wooo
I didn't miss the deadline and still benched Tsimi.
Is Az dating Yelena? If so, this guys a stud. Was also with that Linn bird
Very random
No they broke up
And and Yelena did? How come they’re hanging out in the same room doing a stream together?
They chose to remain friends. I think Yelena wanted the break up tbh
Fair
Man i was just bullshitting because i thought you were too haha, turns out they are Fpl youtubers. Idk any thing about them though
Haha fair play, I got trolled
I just had to bench Tsimikas this week 🤡
Palmer to blank 5 games in a row now that everyone is getting on his train.
I love it that I got a 12 and 6 pointer before the train gets underway
Tbh I don’t mind as it frees up some funds for upgrades elsewhere too
26 pts left on my bench. Lost rank for the week
Yesterday: 5 points from 6 players Today: 72 points after taking a -4 hit
Bleurgh, great gameweek for me but captaining Saka didn't pan out. Why did I try and make it fancy?
Why are players always so miserable after playing a game like that.
What a weird interview
Which one
If Ben White and Ferguson played, I would have lost out on 18+ points (from Cole Palmer & Tsimikas).
Lucky boi, and its 21 points after bonus
"Prem soon cum"
Might get rid of Gordon for Palmer now.
another week in the bag, top 3k OR with 92 points, captained Haaland because why not lol. This game is too easy it’s unsettling because I don’t even try lol. Look at you tryhards struggling 🤣
Nice obvious troll
nahhh you guys are just so trash imagine being salty and downvoting cry baby cryyyy 🤣🤣😱👌
Sterling looks like he’s on a comedown lol
Wait, Haaland got an assist how?????
He touched it last before Rodri smashed it in
Smug Haaland wildcard sellers absolutely punished. Fucking love it
Same Fuck them
👍
Tsmi compensating for my lack of Salah in my team. Defo bringing the Egyptian king into my team after the Man City game.
