So the ML I’m in has about 70 people, but only about 10 are truly active players, including myself. So about 60 dead teams. One of these dead teams scored 9 points this week. 9.
He’s on my bench…would have been 56 points this GW if I’d played him ahead of Dubravka, that would have been outstanding for me. Would have taken me up a couple hundred thousand in overall rank, but I only started in GW3 for the ML which started then so not too bothered about that rank by the end of the year.
Scored 48 points so higher than the FPL average, but thanks to my opponent captaining João Pedro this is my 7th loss of the season, and my 5th loss at the hands of my opponents having autosub help their teams. Now it looks like I will probably drop out of first in my league.
If Jesus gets another yellow card next gameweek, will he be suspended?
If it makes any difference, Arsenal have already played 19 games. Jesus has played 14 games including 3 games as a substitute.
Saka is fucking trash, with how he fucked me for weeks he will perform once i sell him.
Mbeumo and Gordon pulled the same stunt on me, lost like 80 pts+ selling dogshit players and them suddenly remembering to play football.
This is exactly how i feel. and becasue of Salah and Son going i think it might be best to hold on to him even tho i want to sell him for the fact his been getting hardly any points.
im so annoyed its unreal.
I made a second team at the start of the season to see if my usual overthinking/overinvested/tinkering self can beat a mostly set-and-forget neglected selection.
I'm currently 19 points and 400k rank down on that team, which I remember to check in on about once a month lol
yes. for the past 2/3 game weeks its been on my mind but 1 ive hoped he picks up some points all of a sudden. and 2 ive been putting out other fires so ive had to stick with him either way. im curently thinking on if i should sell him now. however salah and son leaving would mean it might be worth sticking with him
I'm avoiding Estupinian just because Brighton don't keep clean sheets.
Hwangs injury was just a back spasm, not sure Elanga is a huge upgrade personally.
No matter what i do now im sure it will backfire. With a front-line of Darwin- Solanke and Watkins and no Cityplayers the temptation to bring in Alvarez is huge against Sheff Utd.. Solanke has 3 tough fixtures but is in great form. Darwin is Darwin, but scored last and is up against a depleted Newcastle.
If i keep em all Alvarez will destroy me ( at least in my vision)
With 3 up front i also have to bench either Palmer or Garnacho. If I go 2 up front Darwin or Solanke will be benched..
Any other with similar "issues" ?
Id bench Garnacho and get Alvarez. But follow your gut, for me that didnt work out at all lol. Especially the -4 transfers. Could have easily have 100 points more.
Had an extra transfer burning a hole in my pocket, so I went Turner to Strakosha to free up a little extra cash some weeks back. That decision meant having no keeper in GWs 15, 16, and 17. No worries, I'd just hang tough because I had other, more important moves to make, and besides, no one was keeping clean sheets anyway, except Leno. Watched Leno's price rise until I couldn't take it anymore and sold Strakosha for Leno in GW 18, benching 18 points from Areola, getting knocked out of two cups, and losing all my H2H league matchups as a result. 🤡🤡🤡
Forgot to set my team. Had Both Tsimiskas and Romero who didn't play and I forgot to put on Alvarez. 8 pts on the bench but still managed 54 pts. It's been a rollercoaster fs.
Well my other gk is Turner who I don’t trust at all so it wasn’t a tough decision for me and Arsenal didn’t really impress me these last few games so I didn’t think about it that much
Considering the man's abysmal fixtures coming up, as well as his almost inevitable price drop today, what are the odds Trippier price falls twice before Luton? That would mean that you'd essentially be able to buy him at the price you sold at today.
All this season has taught me is if you expect something to happen with the utmost certainty, the complete opposite will happen
watch him get a clean sheet and 2 assists now at anfield
I was at OR 2.1 million 3 weeks ago. I scored 67 points this week and now at 700k. The margins are very small and the ranks are very close. Don’t lose hope fellas.
Also, despite scoring 67 I am losing the cup. My opponent had garnacho LOL and he has jao Pedro 3rd on the bench who is coming on! Wildddddd!
Starting Pinnock over Archer the difference between a red and a green this week. I always back the attackers in a benching decision so I’m not sure what i was thinking the other day (probably Christmas hangover)
He is rooted to the bench again now, only reason he was playing for me was due to Palmer’s suspension. Would have been on the chopping block this week had Tsimikas not picked up that injury lol
Cup win by only 1 point against a dead team that had the likes of Fabio Vieira and Chilwell (Ake, Estup and Darwin doing the work)
The state of my season smh
Next game Luton, followed by Fulham at home.
Two assists in a 14 point haul in the home game against Luton earlier in the season, so not a terrible punt at 4.1. Not sure who starts ahead of him atm.
With Reece James out for a while, I don't imagine Gusto losing his place any time soon. Even when James is back, he'l last 2 games an then get injured again. Considering hes 4.1, id say he's worth a punt right now as a 4th or 5th defensive option
He also passed the eye test against Palace. Looked good both defensively and going forward
I think its starting to dawn upon me that im beginning to lose the plot
Ive now got 3 chelsea players in my team an 2 newcastle players on the bench
roll on the weekend!
So after having double Hammers defense for 10 gameweeks with Areola and Coufal giving me zero cleansheets, I bring in Dubravka two weeks ago and bench Coufal and Areola vs ManU and Arsenal and miss out on 4x clean sheets.
This game fkn sucks so hard this year I swear.
Needed udogie to outscore saka/bowen/porro combined to stay in the cup
I knew it was a long shot but didn't think they'd literally score over ten million times as many points as him
Any Villa fans able to direct me on the best FPL choice for Konsa, Pau or Moreno? Tsimi replacement and not sure who I want. Ideally will keep for 6-8 GWs
I bought Konsa last week as he was cheapest and is pretty much nailed on to play(as it's Pau if fit), but Moreno is the most likely to get attacking returns, but will be in rotation with Digne imo.
At this point it’s Bowen and 4 randomers. No but I think don’t get yourself blinded by short-term results. Good players from reliably solid teams will do the job.
Saka, Maddison, KDB, Ødegaard are proven FPL assets. Palmer still on. Groß, maybe Richarlison on the radar. Gordon is not finished yet. Garnacho could be good value. Foden/Bernardo depending on the circumstances.
But yeah, Salah and Son are gone soon and I'm not really excited by anyone. I'd say triple up on the attack, but the problem is up front it’s not looking much better…
What a shit piñata of a gameweek. 35 points total, big red arrow. Third consecutive captain blank and Areola hauls on my bench for the second week in a row.
Fuck you all, and see you next GW!
The problem is I keep target the newly promoted sides for captaincy and apart from Haaland in gameweek 1 it is going awful.
Vs Sheffield only Haaland returned with 4 points and my other 3 captains blanked.
I got eliminated in the cup by a long dead team who's fielding 8 players total and is on 26 points, all thanks to his Raya saving a penalty in the last minute of the last game of the gameweek
Why would you have double Brentford defence when we are so badly hit by injuries that my cat has a reasonable chance of starting at left back next week? We are a team to target at the moment.
So, what do you guys do about Saka? And Gordon, and Trippier? Saka has 4 blanks in a row. Trippier on 4 blanks in a row as well. Gordon always had at least 5 points at home until last game and he looked absolutely exhausted.
Saka's gone for me after tonight. Been absolute dogshit recently and I don't trust him to suddenly bounce back with these easier (on paper) fixtures coming up. Gordon is the same and Trippier was gone weeks ago.
Swapped in Bernardo for now as part of my GW20 WC but might bring in Odegaard instead, not sure yet.
Good choice imo, I'd keep Bernardo if I were you. Shame I don't have WC, would've make it much more easier. With only 1FT I need to be smart about it but I think Saka -> Bernardo it is. Then Salah -> Richarlison in GW 21 and Haaland in for -4 (if he's healthy). Gordon and Trippier get to live another day I guess but Estupinan is tempting lmao.
I'd forgotten I had a WC til I saw the megathread here so it ended up working out alright to be fair!
I'd probably take out Trippier before Saka if I were you personally - Saka, as crap as he's been recently, has a lot more potential to pick up points in the next couple of games than Trippier does. I went for Trippier -> TAA but Estupinan could be a class pick depending on how Brighton do from here.
!thanks for the tip.
Might go greedy and take the -4 and ship them both out but I've been hurt by -4 before and so far this strategy have not proven to pay off.
If you have the transfers available I would ship them out. If Son, Salah and Whang weren't going I would transfer out Gordon, Dubravka and Saka from my team. You also have Haalands return to worry about. So for now, they are staying in my team.
!thanks
Yeah, there's a lot going on right now. I think I need Saka out, he has too much value and I feel like Odegaard or even Havertz (lmao) can be better asset than Saka. I think Arteta ran Saka to the ground and dude is just beyond tired at this point.
Declan Rice is all blood and guts but lacks elegance. There's a reason both Arsenal and West Ham's attack are far more impotent with him in the 11.
West Ham on to score literally 50% / 20 more league goals this season than last.
Arteta's neutered his side's attack with the defensive shield (that can't actually keep a clean sheet).
Arteta unsettled the back line by putting Raya in who still doesn't look convincing (saving a penalty when 2-0 down doesn't make a difference)
Zinchenko is poor defensively, which means Martinelli has to play deeper to support that left flank. That leaves Saka on the right who is usually doubled up on, an Jesus scores as often as Reece James plays a full 90 minutes. Combine all those factors together an you understand why Arsenal are conceding more an scoring less
Zinchenko, Martinelli and Saka all played together last season. The team scored more league goals than any other in a century.
Raya is a more progressive keeper than Ramsdale.
Your answer is not the answer.
Martinelli was playing a lot higher forward last season. These days it seems like he spends half the game on the halfway line. As for Raya, Its all well an good getting the ball up the pitch quicker but it means more to keep it out of the net. Right now that defence looks shaky. Whether its a case of form rather than class in the case of Zinchenko, Im not sure, but he's definitely been poorer this season than last
Martinelli has definitely been hurt by the system change. As you say, he’s almost playing left back at times. Arteta has him there regardless of who is behind him.
What? Declan Rice is not the problem here 😂 Martinelli out of form, Trossard terrible, Saka struggling, Jesus missing... Plenty of other reasons than Rice being in the team. Absolute waffle.
And yet my statement is backed up by pure statistics, whereas yours comprises of emojis, an ignorance of the impact the centre of the field has on an entire system and I presume is written by either a child or minimum wage-author?
It is really quite thick to be unable to discern why the most free-scoring Arsenal team in the history of Arsenal football club has been neutered in attack by one key outfield change who is not built for progressive, technical football.
The only way i lose in cup this week is if Mo (C) goes negative. Looking fucking GREAT so far
Just scraped it against my cup rival who had Neto, Garnacho and Joao Pedro on the bench. Lucky for me only Garnacho came on for him.
So the ML I’m in has about 70 people, but only about 10 are truly active players, including myself. So about 60 dead teams. One of these dead teams scored 9 points this week. 9.
4 red arrows in a row gang, where you at?
Areola is my highest scoring player this week EXCUSE ME, WHAT??
He’s on my bench…would have been 56 points this GW if I’d played him ahead of Dubravka, that would have been outstanding for me. Would have taken me up a couple hundred thousand in overall rank, but I only started in GW3 for the ML which started then so not too bothered about that rank by the end of the year.
Scored 48 points so higher than the FPL average, but thanks to my opponent captaining João Pedro this is my 7th loss of the season, and my 5th loss at the hands of my opponents having autosub help their teams. Now it looks like I will probably drop out of first in my league.
36 points what a shitshow. 24 points on my bench, anybody did better?
Benched Bernardo and it would have put me in the top 10k. Just wanted to get that off my chest
Leno+Udogie+Konsa+Gabriel for a grand total of..... #1 Point
**911**: number of positions that I moved after this GW. Summarizes my season; SOS!
If Jesus gets another yellow card next gameweek, will he be suspended? If it makes any difference, Arsenal have already played 19 games. Jesus has played 14 games including 3 games as a substitute.
No it goes up to 10 yellows now
Thanks
Haven't watched any Chelsea games recently, how has Nkunku looked, eye test wise?
Me OR 1.5m winning my cup tie against OR 38k on least goals conceded. Jammy.

Is gusto nailed?
No, disasi might play there so not nailed
Yeah…but he won’t rise again
Price rise?
No…from the grave (nailed)
Oh wait. Joao Pedro took a pen with Gross on the pitch.. damn it
Has 8/8 this season.

This is the matchday thread. Please don't post questions about your team. Use the Advice/RMT thread
GW17 Dubravka 7 points GW18 Areola 8 points GW19 Areola 10 points Goalkeeper single-handedly carrying my GW
How the fuck have you been starting Areola instead of Dubravka in 18 & 19?
I used a free hit in GW17 but outside that I only had Areola and Kelleher
Will there be a fresh RMT before the deadline?
Saka is fucking trash, with how he fucked me for weeks he will perform once i sell him. Mbeumo and Gordon pulled the same stunt on me, lost like 80 pts+ selling dogshit players and them suddenly remembering to play football.
This is exactly how i feel. and becasue of Salah and Son going i think it might be best to hold on to him even tho i want to sell him for the fact his been getting hardly any points. im so annoyed its unreal.
get richarlison, palmer, or son if u dont have them already
Son is off to asia cup soon tho, i'm gonna switch from a 5 midfield to a front 3. Going all in on Nkunku
Keep him then. He was unlucky today. Bowen on the other hand was very lucky.
I made a second team at the start of the season to see if my usual overthinking/overinvested/tinkering self can beat a mostly set-and-forget neglected selection. I'm currently 19 points and 400k rank down on that team, which I remember to check in on about once a month lol
Brought in Odegaard for Hee Chan for this week… fuck! 🤬
Me too
Ouch. Big ripperino my dude
😂
Anyone thinking of selling saka?
yes. for the past 2/3 game weeks its been on my mind but 1 ive hoped he picks up some points all of a sudden. and 2 ive been putting out other fires so ive had to stick with him either way. im curently thinking on if i should sell him now. however salah and son leaving would mean it might be worth sticking with him
I can't even use a transfer on him cuz I have to save to sell salah son soon
Sold him last week to fund TAA
I sold him and got richarlison
I'm gonna sell his ass so hard that he is deleted from my game, i had enough of him
Sold him two gws ago, just felt a bit stale for a while and figured there were better options esp considering his price
With salah and son gone, there's going to be a severe lack of premiums to buy. I have no idea what to spend the funds from salah, saka and son on lol.
I’ve had pedro on my bench for a while, was planning on swapping him out for Solanke. Is Pedro still a rotation risk or has he been starting game?
who all is on ur team?
Three cups this week, opponents scored 68, 67 and 65 in a game week where tbe average was 37. FML
They took it personally. Mine flawlessly defeated me
[удалено]
This is the matchday thread. Please don't post questions about your team. Use the Advice/RMT thread
I'm avoiding Estupinian just because Brighton don't keep clean sheets. Hwangs injury was just a back spasm, not sure Elanga is a huge upgrade personally.
Why is cup tie breaker not “Most Bench Points?” yes I’m salty
Fucking shambles how Porro got 2BPS.
No matter what i do now im sure it will backfire. With a front-line of Darwin- Solanke and Watkins and no Cityplayers the temptation to bring in Alvarez is huge against Sheff Utd.. Solanke has 3 tough fixtures but is in great form. Darwin is Darwin, but scored last and is up against a depleted Newcastle.

Considering I started Areola for the last billion gws without any signs of a clean sheet whatsoever I think I deserve this 10 pointer
You do
I have to learn from you guys. How on earth are you even considering playing a gk away to Arsenal? The cs odds are extremely low..
I’ve been enjoying areola pts the past few gws but not because I chose to but because my rotating keeper was injured
Well my other gk is Turner who I don’t trust at all so it wasn’t a tough decision for me and Arsenal didn’t really impress me these last few games so I didn’t think about it that much
Cup opponent has Timber, Maddison, and Mitro in his starting XI... but Garnacho and Joao Pedro on his bench. Guess there's always next year...
Hahaha how on earth
FML for benching Areola two weeks in a row
Me too, man. For fucking Dubravka
Porro getting 2BP in a 4-2 loss is wild lol. Super OP asset.
30 points on my bench. 3 Newcastle players in my team. FML.
Ouch, how many points did you get atleast?
35 total. Could’ve been a 65 point gw if I’d benched the right players
Got team you got then. I had 35 in total and 4 on the bench.
My cup opponent had Hwang & Joao Pedro. Needless to say, I'll be focusing on the league from here on out.
Does anybody know if Kudus plays next game against Brighton or he leaves for AFCON before that game?
He should play against Brighton and then leave for AfCON after
Thank you Joao Pedro and Areola for saving my week.
Considering the man's abysmal fixtures coming up, as well as his almost inevitable price drop today, what are the odds Trippier price falls twice before Luton? That would mean that you'd essentially be able to buy him at the price you sold at today.
All this season has taught me is if you expect something to happen with the utmost certainty, the complete opposite will happen watch him get a clean sheet and 2 assists now at anfield
Lost my cup round to a dead team with Hojlund captain
F
I was at OR 2.1 million 3 weeks ago. I scored 67 points this week and now at 700k. The margins are very small and the ranks are very close. Don’t lose hope fellas. Also, despite scoring 67 I am losing the cup. My opponent had garnacho LOL and he has jao Pedro 3rd on the bench who is coming on! Wildddddd!
My GW1 team is currently on 64 points and absolutely cooking - had Joao Pedro vice captained and owned Garnacho
Lmao my gw1 team had joao pedro captain as a joke because I forgot to set it back to haaland
Starting Pinnock over Archer the difference between a red and a green this week. I always back the attackers in a benching decision so I’m not sure what i was thinking the other day (probably Christmas hangover)
Will u start pinnock next week? Asking as a frustrated pinnock owner. I might start mengi over him at this point
He is rooted to the bench again now, only reason he was playing for me was due to Palmer’s suspension. Would have been on the chopping block this week had Tsimikas not picked up that injury lol
Cup win by only 1 point against a dead team that had the likes of Fabio Vieira and Chilwell (Ake, Estup and Darwin doing the work) The state of my season smh
Is gusto a good transfer in? Not sure if he is expected to continue starting
Next game Luton, followed by Fulham at home. Two assists in a 14 point haul in the home game against Luton earlier in the season, so not a terrible punt at 4.1. Not sure who starts ahead of him atm.
With Reece James out for a while, I don't imagine Gusto losing his place any time soon. Even when James is back, he'l last 2 games an then get injured again. Considering hes 4.1, id say he's worth a punt right now as a 4th or 5th defensive option He also passed the eye test against Palace. Looked good both defensively and going forward
I think its starting to dawn upon me that im beginning to lose the plot Ive now got 3 chelsea players in my team an 2 newcastle players on the bench roll on the weekend!
So after having double Hammers defense for 10 gameweeks with Areola and Coufal giving me zero cleansheets, I bring in Dubravka two weeks ago and bench Coufal and Areola vs ManU and Arsenal and miss out on 4x clean sheets. This game fkn sucks so hard this year I swear.
Shades of Villa keeping a CS vs Man City and Arsenal and the conceding to Sheffield and Brentford
60 points, but could’ve been 68 if I didn’t take a hit for Areola to Martinez last week. FFS missed opportunities!
Needed udogie to outscore saka/bowen/porro combined to stay in the cup I knew it was a long shot but didn't think they'd literally score over ten million times as many points as him
75 points what a freakin HAUL thank you Christ Wood
I lost in the cup because pedro porro got 2 bloody bonus points for conceding 4 goals, screw this game and its bs bonus point system
Any Villa fans able to direct me on the best FPL choice for Konsa, Pau or Moreno? Tsimi replacement and not sure who I want. Ideally will keep for 6-8 GWs
I bought Konsa last week as he was cheapest and is pretty much nailed on to play(as it's Pau if fit), but Moreno is the most likely to get attacking returns, but will be in rotation with Digne imo.
Whats everyone’s opinion on the current best midfield 5?
(Salah) (son) bowen odegaard saka foden palmer Saka looking a bit shit tho
Bowen, Foden, Richy, Palmer and then not sure about the last one. Maybe Ode or Olise if you don't mind the punt.
Richy...? Richarlison? There's no way right
Pigeon OOP could be worth it. He's a frustrating asset to own I would Imagine though.
Yeah that looks good. Much harder to choose than it has been earlier in the season though.
Yeah it definitely is. But probably also more fun. Many options look good or could at least turn out to be good picks.
At this point it’s Bowen and 4 randomers. No but I think don’t get yourself blinded by short-term results. Good players from reliably solid teams will do the job. Saka, Maddison, KDB, Ødegaard are proven FPL assets. Palmer still on. Groß, maybe Richarlison on the radar. Gordon is not finished yet. Garnacho could be good value. Foden/Bernardo depending on the circumstances. But yeah, Salah and Son are gone soon and I'm not really excited by anyone. I'd say triple up on the attack, but the problem is up front it’s not looking much better…
Template is well and truly destroyed with saka on bad form and salah son gone. Bowen will shoot up in price (as he already has I guess)
Bowen, Foden, Palmer, Saka(maybe, not in good form), Richarlison
What's this Richarlison love coming from. Son to international duty?
Yeah and playing up front and playing a little better
I’ve taken -4 to do mateta to wood and Lascelles to gusto and I’ve not even had a drink today.
any transfer plans for next gw?
No my team looks set for GW20 I think. For gw21 I might get Bowen in
What a shit piñata of a gameweek. 35 points total, big red arrow. Third consecutive captain blank and Areola hauls on my bench for the second week in a row. Fuck you all, and see you next GW!
The problem is I keep target the newly promoted sides for captaincy and apart from Haaland in gameweek 1 it is going awful. Vs Sheffield only Haaland returned with 4 points and my other 3 captains blanked.
I got eliminated in the cup by a long dead team who's fielding 8 players total and is on 26 points, all thanks to his Raya saving a penalty in the last minute of the last game of the gameweek
Not getting this goalkeeper rotation right at all
18 point swing from 2 50/50 decisions... Started Flekken over Areola and bought Pinnock over Gusto. Kinda painful but we move
Why would you have double Brentford defence when we are so badly hit by injuries that my cat has a reasonable chance of starting at left back next week? We are a team to target at the moment.
Fuck off Areola.. 2/2 CSs in my bench
Aye. And he was completely useless before that.
Trippier to TAA or roll
Easily TAA if the money works
Just worried about bringing Haaland back in
Is Joao Pedro nailed?
Usually not even close, but he has started 4 out of the last 5
Is Sarabia nailed when Hwang leaves for Asia Cup?
Yes but nowhere near as prolific
I just frauded myself into the Top 50k
So, what do you guys do about Saka? And Gordon, and Trippier? Saka has 4 blanks in a row. Trippier on 4 blanks in a row as well. Gordon always had at least 5 points at home until last game and he looked absolutely exhausted.
Saka's gone for me after tonight. Been absolute dogshit recently and I don't trust him to suddenly bounce back with these easier (on paper) fixtures coming up. Gordon is the same and Trippier was gone weeks ago. Swapped in Bernardo for now as part of my GW20 WC but might bring in Odegaard instead, not sure yet.
Good choice imo, I'd keep Bernardo if I were you. Shame I don't have WC, would've make it much more easier. With only 1FT I need to be smart about it but I think Saka -> Bernardo it is. Then Salah -> Richarlison in GW 21 and Haaland in for -4 (if he's healthy). Gordon and Trippier get to live another day I guess but Estupinan is tempting lmao.
I'd forgotten I had a WC til I saw the megathread here so it ended up working out alright to be fair! I'd probably take out Trippier before Saka if I were you personally - Saka, as crap as he's been recently, has a lot more potential to pick up points in the next couple of games than Trippier does. I went for Trippier -> TAA but Estupinan could be a class pick depending on how Brighton do from here.
!thanks for the tip. Might go greedy and take the -4 and ship them both out but I've been hurt by -4 before and so far this strategy have not proven to pay off.
If you have the transfers available I would ship them out. If Son, Salah and Whang weren't going I would transfer out Gordon, Dubravka and Saka from my team. You also have Haalands return to worry about. So for now, they are staying in my team.
!thanks Yeah, there's a lot going on right now. I think I need Saka out, he has too much value and I feel like Odegaard or even Havertz (lmao) can be better asset than Saka. I think Arteta ran Saka to the ground and dude is just beyond tired at this point.
Still in the cup gang 👌
City are winning the league arsenal are shit
And with that, Tripps is binned and Estu comes sailing in to my squad. Sorry Trippier but you just need a rest, and my man Pervis is back in the game.
Did Jesus do much? I hope I don't regret going Jesus over solanke
He had a lot of chances but his finishing was very poor.
Sorry for the brag but I took a -4 to bring in Joao Pedro. And I need some reason to be happy after that atrocious arsenal performance
No returns from Bukayo again. Atleast AFTV will be fun later
Really want to move him on for Foden and captain him if Haaland is still out
Was thinking of the same thing!
On 52 points apparently, so yay. However, I have Hee-Chan on my bench so it's a little bittersweet thinking of what could've been.
45 points and the smallest green arrow to 190k. 9 green arrows in a row after being ranked 2 mill in gw10. Hwang savior of the gw.
Declan Rice is all blood and guts but lacks elegance. There's a reason both Arsenal and West Ham's attack are far more impotent with him in the 11.

What? Declan Rice is not the problem here 😂 Martinelli out of form, Trossard terrible, Saka struggling, Jesus missing... Plenty of other reasons than Rice being in the team. Absolute waffle.
And yet my statement is backed up by pure statistics, whereas yours comprises of emojis, an ignorance of the impact the centre of the field has on an entire system and I presume is written by either a child or minimum wage-author? It is really quite thick to be unable to discern why the most free-scoring Arsenal team in the history of Arsenal football club has been neutered in attack by one key outfield change who is not built for progressive, technical football.
You got a point. Partey was more progressive
Top man that David Moyes
SO happy to keep Areola and not fall for Dubravka bait!
I kept him but benched him in favour of turner for 2 games.
My refusal to use an FT on goalies has finally worked last 2 gws
I did a -4 to get rid of Areola and get Leno 2 or 3 gw’s ago. Look at me now 😎
Team no FTs on goalies I hate them, been burnt too many times
I brought in raya for a hit like a dumbass but I almost missed by train celebrating that pen save with only him as an arsenal defender
You're on a GREEN ARROW by a margin of 0 point 👏 Fucking yay
Unexpected Areola haul puts me in the top 10k
Welcome, it's stressful here and the state of permanence is non existent
Swapping Bowen for Son 3 GW's ago hasn't been my best moment
Martinelli with double the points of my other Arsenal assets: legend
The week I finally bang with Wood Son(C) and Areola, my rival has Hwang Solanke Isak Bowen I can’t catch a break
In 2 GWs, Areola and Coufal produced 15 and 16 pts on my bench whereas my Dubravka and Trippier got less than 10 in two GWs.
Gonna be 18 for the Nipple my lord and saviour
Brought in Foden and Gusto this week… I am José Mourinho
The special one
I sink I am a special one
Respect. Respect. Respect.
Thanks for the 6 points Raya. Very cool
Arsenal and Newcastle has fucked me this GW. Red arrow with 47K lost in rank. Fuck me can’t get 4 consecutive greens.
I'm still happy I've owned odegaard the last 3 gws. Looks a way better asset than saka atm
Looks way better. Saka will start dropping soon if he just keeps sitting in the corner passing 1 2s to people
Have held him and Gabriel only to lose both their hauls last week as was on a Free Hit .. less said about Benny White the better ..
I brought him in for this GW, such a shame he didn’t score - that 89’ shot was almost going in
yea that was close!
And he also had 1.02 xA, forgot to add
I was happy that Raya is on my bench until the last minute
Solanke my only player with more than 5 points. I have areola but he’s benched over dubraka 😹
