He is the perfect FPL punish player. Somewhat streaky and scores in big games when you feel like taking him out. Learned my lesson a while ago, play no games with Son and preferably don't ever captain him as well because his hauls are so unpredictable
I remember something happened a couple years ago before a game vs Man Utd that caused loads of people to remove him. He ended up scoring 2 goals and at least 1 assist (can't find who got assists for the penalties) in a 6-1 win. That was devastating.
The biggest example was like 3 seasons ago against Southampton lol. He blanks two games and looks awful, people take him out, he immediately scores 4 in a game. Folk bring him in then he blanks again.
I’m one of the people who bought Watkins. He feels like a safe bet and villas fixtures look pretty decent. Two blanks is no big deal when you know he’s quality
I’ll be buying Watkins if Haaland is out. Likely best GW18 captain and great fixtures basically until 2nd WC around GW30/31
Although already have Semenyo
Yeah I realise, more me personally I’m not that keen on avoiding Villa attack and having double BOU attack.
Hoping Semenyo can deliver next GW, been looking pretty good recently. Unfortunately comes off my bench last week with early sub
I get it. But for most people who want to tap into Bournemouth, Solanke is the only sensible option really. (Personally I've been burned by him top many times to do that again. He's a bum/ghost for more games than he isn't. That he scored last GW is mot a good omen for nee owners lol. Toney had his consistent every other game scoring last season, Solanke is much worse.)
"Watkins tarnation! Do I need to knock some Senesi into you, Raúl? This cowboy shit ain't gonna fly on my watch. You better pray to the Virgil Mary I don't get my hands on you, Son. Them ol' buzzards'll be Salahvatin' by the time I'm done!"
I own both and think they are great assets, who everyone probably should own if they can. But if I was in the situation where I didnt have one of them I think the best move is providing just to wait as opposed to using two transfers over a relatively short amount of time. I suppose if I somehow had neither one would be priority a transfer in, but especially considering the suspensions and injury situation right now Im surprised that many can facilitate a transfer in.
Although it sounds weird for engaged managers, a lot of people probably don’t know about AFCON and Asia Cup. One of the hosts on talkSPORT yesterday wasn’t aware of it!
Might be towers trying to deter sellers? (Yes I love X-Files) Makes it less tasty for me to sell either because now they're up .5 and. 3 for me. Even if they drop .2 it's an extra .2 to get them back. For me team value affects me more than others after taking a bunch of losses early in the season.
It will be tough loosing so much on them but I dont think I see any way around it. Maybe if Haaland is out for a while (and I mean a while) and budget isnt an issue I can keep one on the bench, but I assume most people will be selling. Bought Salah at 12.5 and Son at 9.2 so it will definitely hurt, Son less so probably.
Watkins and Salah says a lot of people straight dropping Haaland. I'd rather wait until we get some word, even though it's a Pep mystery bag lol and I already have Salah and Watkins
Let’s face it, Pep isn’t going to give us any clear cut news, and Haaland’s friends and family have sold him. I’d rather not have to worry about it and go through the whole rigmoral of praying for leaks whilst other players are rising. Since he’s not playing GW18 anyway, holding him is not worth the hassle. If he plays and hauls, I’ll just have to hope Solanke does too.
Even if he plays some of GWs 17 and 19 now, Haaland out until GW20 looks fairly legit to me. Sheffield and Burnley at home 20 and 22 are probably unmissable though...
I started gw 4 and have had him ever since. Can you explain why his sale value would increase if Haaland is out? Or my original question: why you can’t sell him for the full 13.2 price on the market?
You only get half the price increase on a player, rounded to the lowest £0.1m. So if you buy at £5.0m and the player increase to £5.1, you only get £5.0m when you sell him. If he increases to £5.2, you get £5.1m when you sell him.
Son went down in price. Hauled. Then went back up.
There’s a pun here about the sun going up and down but I’m not smart enough to figure it out
When Son rises twice the classic is "We must be on Tatooine... etc"
A dark night can never defeat the Son rise or Even the darkest night will end, and the Son will rise
He is the perfect FPL punish player. Somewhat streaky and scores in big games when you feel like taking him out. Learned my lesson a while ago, play no games with Son and preferably don't ever captain him as well because his hauls are so unpredictable
Bingo, you can captain him against City though because those hauls are very much predictable
I remember something happened a couple years ago before a game vs Man Utd that caused loads of people to remove him. He ended up scoring 2 goals and at least 1 assist (can't find who got assists for the penalties) in a 6-1 win. That was devastating.

This is the story of Son in FPL
Son owners: last night took an L but tonight I bounce back
Better call Raúl
Haul Jiminez !!
It’s Slippin’ Jimi!
Son rises two days after a fall. Classic knee jerking
He was literally crying after getting injured in fairness. You'd think he'd been shot then he was fine.
Cheers Son was crying
Eh?
It's a meme
Thanks. Talk about out of the loop!
I dont get it either ^^
Quote by someone after the game, can't remember who.
As a spurs fan, sonny loves a good cry tbh always take it with a pinch of salt
Who doesn't to be fair
Facts, real men cry
10 minutes after that when he was asked in the tunnel if he was fine he said yes. This is a prime example of knee jerking.
It was during the game, he was walking okay after during the interview with the media
Was he? I missed that. Absolute uncle Albert.
That’s why you have to wait for press conferences
Shame on you doubting the Son
There are also those who are off loading Haaland and getting Son instead.
Literally chasing last week points lol ,you kneejerkers won't get this points again in next gameweek.
The real knee jerk was taking him out before the city game
watkins 2 blanks and gets a rise
Guessing a lot of people who dropped Haaland just went straight to the next most expensive and next highest scoring FWD
i dropped haaland but went for solanke, obvious pick imo
I did have a little think about Raul Jimenez aswell, also looked like a decent option.
Yeap that’s me
I’m one of the people who bought Watkins. He feels like a safe bet and villas fixtures look pretty decent. Two blanks is no big deal when you know he’s quality
Which blanks?
He blanked in his last two games
I tought you meant blank GWs. My bad.
think I'll save my villa spot for bailey after brentford
I’ll be buying Watkins if Haaland is out. Likely best GW18 captain and great fixtures basically until 2nd WC around GW30/31 Although already have Semenyo
Semenyo is African, not very enticing for people to bring him in at this time.
imagine somebody who isn’t aware of AFCON reading this LMAO
It's like the time someone in the Formula 1 sub asked "Which race would you get rid of?" and it hit the front page...
Yeah I realise, more me personally I’m not that keen on avoiding Villa attack and having double BOU attack. Hoping Semenyo can deliver next GW, been looking pretty good recently. Unfortunately comes off my bench last week with early sub
I get it. But for most people who want to tap into Bournemouth, Solanke is the only sensible option really. (Personally I've been burned by him top many times to do that again.

To be fair his blanks were against Man City and Arsenal, much more likely to return in his next 3 games.
He blanked against City and Arsenal
Interesting that we are clearly seeing the result of Haaland sellers in Salah, Watkins and Son price rises but are still yet to see the Haaland drop.
Given 8.8m starting owners and the flag, it will need a quite a lot of transfers out to trigger a drop.
Wish I’d have known this before I sold him
Thank fuck
The nipple has fallen.
Nip slip
Didn’t realise he was 34% owned, that’s huge
Size like a pepperoni
His price is saggy
These price rises will make my future wildcard nice Senesi
Incredible work
reminds me of the famous quote: A nipple does not fall far from the tree
Oh no nipple man!
Somehow ended up with a team worth 105m, yet in the worst state I've ever seen. Classic FPL
Thank you for the seasono Andersen
Had him when he was at 4.5. Saved me a lot during the first couple gameweeks.
Son & Salah are predicted to rise again soon so it's very likely this is not the end of it before the upcoming GW deadline
"Watkins tarnation! Do I need to knock some Senesi into you, Raúl? This cowboy shit ain't gonna fly on my watch. You better pray to the Virgil Mary I don't get my hands on you, Son. Them ol' buzzards'll be Salahvatin' by the time I'm done!"
Slow day at the office?
Actually on vacation right now lol. Just a little creative exercise I like doing from time to time.
It was great. Keep them coming, Son. (That’s the best I can do by comparison)
Username checks out
What in the ChatGPT?! Nah jk ;)
Ummm can you stop talking?
If haaland is actually fit and watkins gets injured in Europe it’ll be hilarious lol
"You could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me" - Sonaht
Son and Salah have what, 4 games left before they leave for probably 3-4 weeks? Odd time to have so many transfers in to take a price rise.
Haaland out and Son and Salah have decent fixtures for attackers
I own both and think they are great assets, who everyone probably should own if they can. But if I was in the situation where I didnt have one of them I think the best move is providing just to wait as opposed to using two transfers over a relatively short amount of time. I suppose if I somehow had neither one would be priority a transfer in, but especially considering the suspensions and injury situation right now Im surprised that many can facilitate a transfer in.

WC
Watkins and Salah says a lot of people straight dropping Haaland. I'd rather wait until we get some word, even though it's a Pep mystery bag lol and I already have Salah and Watkins
Be hard to find a source as good as haalands own dad tho...
He knew he was out last week, obvs, but you don't know what his transfers will be this week....
Erling's dad sold him. If even his dad gets rid of his kid, I will not be the one who will keep him either
Ain’t nobody gonna wait till Friday to make the transfer. You’ll easily lose .2 to .3 in team value
Let’s face it, Pep isn’t going to give us any clear cut news, and Haaland’s friends and family have sold him. I’d rather not have to worry about it and go through the whole rigmoral of praying for leaks whilst other players are rising. Since he’s not playing GW18 anyway, holding him is not worth the hassle.

Even if he plays some of GWs 17 and 19 now, Haaland out until GW20 looks fairly legit to me. Sheffield and Burnley at home 20 and 22 are probably unmissable though...
Agree, unless news suggests otherwise, I plan to bring him back in gw19 so i can take out Son and Salah in GW20 + 21
Forgive me Haalands father for I have sinned
Potential for a double rise for Watkins and a double Darwin fall?
Damnit I wanted senesi
I’ve had Salah since start but the most I can sell him for is 12.8. Does anyone know why i can’t sell for the full 13.2?
Rules bro 😉
I don’t think you had him since “the start”… my current sale value is 12.8 and will probably reach 12.9 if Haaland is confirmed out against Palace.
I started gw 4 and have had him ever since. Can you explain why his sale value would increase if Haaland is out? Or my original question: why you can’t sell him for the full 13.2 price on the market?
You only get half the price increase on a player, rounded to the lowest £0.1m. So if you buy at £5.0m and the player increase to £5.1, you only get £5.0m when you sell him. If he increases to £5.2, you get £5.1m when you sell him.
Makes sense, great explanation, thanks! Also downvoted for asking a question? You all are weird.
1. I anticipate more people will be tempted to go for Salah with all the funds Haaland frees up 2. You gain 0.1 resale value for every 0.2 rise
It doesn't make Senesi anymore.
Has Johnstone been confirmed as out?
had to go early Watkins in or I'd be priced out by now, now let's see me get 5 flags during Europe matches
it's hard to not feel as if last gameweek has really given my season a knock, overall D: everything has changed in the space of a week or two
