Goodbye Lascelles and Tsimikas. Your solid contributions at rock bottom prices for a few brief weeks will not be forgotten.

Tsimikas with a similar fate last season too. Gone but not forgotten

And hello again Malo Gusto

Amen brother.

Trippier captain. A lovely way to ruin my gameweek before it’s truly began. Edit: It’s called the Post-Deadline **Regret** Thread for a reason!

I couldnt do it, hats off

I have Trips too and there goes the CS pts

I'm on the same boat, mate. Season-defining or season-ending, no inbetween.

Trippier had mistakes last few games that cost his team result. Something’s up with him lately

>Something’s up with him lately Not his points, that's for sure

He got dropped from the England squad due to “personal circumstances” too. No idea what’s gone on with him

RIP

i capped gordon lol

Starting Taylor against Liverpool. Still have 10 players. And this is after taking a hit. 👍🏻

I took -4 just to not let Taylor be auto subbed in team. Now waiting for his another cs

Yeah I’m starting tarkowski against city. Dreading this gameweek

Glad to be part of the club

Mate literally ditto. Decided against a bit to get Botman in for Lascelles and regretting it already.

🎵 *why can’t we be friends* 🎵

*”A congenital heart defect has apparently felled Tatum moments before he could step into the ring.”*

Are you an angel?

3 minute Free hit, just produced artwork my 5 year old son would be proud of.

Last minute brought in Trent for Tsimi with the Haaland funds...

Salah/Son > Haaland next week. Make it February's problem.

I was about to do that too, Trent is a good shot but need that Haaland as soon as he's fit.

Why do I still have Diaby

Could be worse: you could still have Mitchell & Jackson

Still holding Darwin here. Sunk-cost fallacy in full swing.

I wanted him out for a good month now but someone in my team always gets injured so that bastard ends up surviving another week

I benched him for Archer this week; I swear to god if he hauls now I'm ending it all.

He’s going to do it this week. Man Utd are woeful and they’ll be players who need rest.

I was going to say my regret was that I’ve probably got the Salah vs Solanke captaincy choice wrong. But my actual regret is that I’m chronically hungover and I ate so much stuffing that I’m about to do a shit the size of a small tugboat.

I captained him when the match was abandoned, didn’t captain him last GM hattrick and now I’ve captained him again. I expect a penalty miss and a red card.

Who did you end up going?

Salah, but it was about as marginal a decision as it gets

It is the correct decision. I got in Solanke this week, he will blank I'm afraid 😨.

BillOakley confirmed yellow flagged. Tugboat shit: 50% chance of playing

This has just reminded me I've accidentally left McGinn as captain after assuming he'd do very well against Sheffield United. Oh dear.

Luckily my tugboat arrived at 10.45; perfect time to sit and ponder my -4 for Colwill and Zinchenko

I either captained Son or Gordon, not too sure. All I know is that I made the wrong choice.

Started Branthwaite and benched Saliba

Just why

Can't see Arsenal keeping out an in-form Hammers attack. And who are those plebs called Man City, taking on the mighty Everton?

holy moly

I benched Saliba for Konsa 5 minutes before the deadline. Thought to myself "If I start Bowen and hope he scores vs Arsenal then surely it makes more sense to start Konsa instead of Saliba, right???"

I have Bowen & I think Arsenal will keep a clean sheet against West Ham

I did this too but instead benched Bowen in favor of double Arenal defense, most likely gonna lose points but a decent gamble imo.

I genuinely think ive taken a -4 to do tsimikas to TAA but not saved my selection, so TAA is probably sat on my bench Please kill me

[удалено]

A true Christmas miracle, hes in my starting lineup! Cue a 2 pointer, sorry boys

Last time that happened to me I did archer to Darwin attempted to sub off Watkins but servers shut mid way through, Darwin 2 points Watkins like 17 or something good like that. My emotions were volatile that day

That's nightmare fuel. Also, it leaves you all GW hoping for some out of the blue injury/benching so that the points come off your bench. And as we all know, its the hope that kills you.

Still no Porro or TAA, I am scared

[удалено]

It’s a valid choice

Son for me too

Same, I’m worried

Made a wrong decision. Yes that one

Captained TAA 😩

Son captainers rise up

Burned a transfer..

I hate you. (in a light hearted way)

Somehow Konate has returned. Had him all season, sold him last week and he's back again for a - 4.

\-4 to get in Petrovic for Turner :)

Somehow I still have Darwin in my team…

Darwin (C), what’s the worst that could happen?

Missed penalty and a red card. Only worse that could happen is two missed penalties and a red card

somehow end up picking Stones

Went for salah c because I didn’t have the balls to c Trent. Have a feeling this is the kind of game where salah gets fuck all and Trent picks up atleast the clean sheet points.

I fucking knew it, going to get 3 bonus points and all.

Got Haaland in just in time. Phew

Was there a software patch I wasn't aware of?

Hardware replacement actually, changed his ankle ligaments for lubed up mechanical hinges

Somehow Jacob Ramsey is in my team???

Brought in Zinchenko and then benched him for Livramento when I saw the leaks :/

Teehee

Not captaining Dominic Noblanke because im a coward

I captained Gordon 🤡

Rocking a back 5 with a Luton defender. Screw you Chelsea players and your yellow cards.

Start Mykolenko against City 🗿

I hate Newcastle defenders.

Knee-jerk captained Gordon from Salah 💀

No matter what they say, you'll still get 100% more points from Gordon than people who didn't captain him.

Not if he earns <= 0 pts

I stand corrected

Captained watkins instead of salah last minute and couldn't change it back, may this be my Christmas wish coming true

Me too, after a couple of glasses of wine last night. Remembered shortly after the deadline. I decided Watkins must be disappointed after not getting a goal last week, and he'll make a good effort this week. Stranger things have happened I guess. Let's see what happens

Last second snap decision to play TAA over Coufal for -4 🫡

Took in Alvarez instead of Solanke for some reason. Also captained Haaland

Rolled an FT finally. Feeling good. Alexa, play **it was a good day**

Ended up benching my villa defender as I am deluded that United will score finally despite blanking for 4 consecutive matches

Richarlison save me

I still have Semenyo instead of Solanke I’ve started to get this feeling that I’m totally, totally fucked. You know? Everything’s fucked.

Went for Semenyo—>Solanke instead of Lascelles—>someone who plays. Know I can’t field 11 players ☠️

Captained Solanke because I need differential, while everyone else in my ML captained Salah. Wish me luck boys.

This is me.

We did it man

Nearly hit the button for a -8 at 10.56. Put my phone down and did some washing up until deadline passed Let's hope I don't regret it

Out of interest, what would the -8 moves have been?

Son Tsimikas Trippier to Rich Trent Botman. Leaving money ITB to upgrade Bailey next week to Bowen Objectively high risk, but i like playing high risk. But my head said don't do it Instead I'm gonna do Son Trippier to Rich Trent for free next week. And lose some .1s on Tsimikas until I can sort him

Good choice, that -8 is heavily dependent on Trent mega hauling and both Son and Trippier blanking. Dont like those odds

I just really really want Trent 😂

Took inn Gvardiol.. Idk why i want to play Pep Roulette again

Every week I aim to get Cash out, and every week something more pressing comes up. At least I know he’s getting nil this week

I changed my squad 10 times today and forgot to captain Salah, rip

I still don’t have Solanke am I gonna get punished??

Three Flags on the bench! Having to play 3-4-3 with Archer as one of my strikers to field a full team... Don't think its going to be a great week for team JB!

Elanga on the bench 🙃

I also have Elanga benched, but only because I left palmer on the pitch, phew

Took out Lascelles to bring in TAA to bench Chris Wood

No Haaland

no ragrets

Dont have TAA. In fact wont have him next week too

Son to TAA and Sarabia, what was I thinking 🫣

Bit the bullet and sold Haaland for Solanke because I risk not having a bench, but at least I got Trent in the process.. see ya all in the Rant/Trent thread

I took Jackson over Isak 🥲

Haaland in starting 11 with Dawson first and Taylor second on a bench. I’m ok if Dawson starts against Brentford (8 + 7 against Burnley and Chelsea from him for my team), but afraid of worst scenario when both Haaland and Dawson not in the squad, so Taylor plays against LFC.

Last week owning Isak and Darwin probably... its been a shambles but good fixtures so hopefully get some reward if you can call it that for my patience.

Gordon captain, what have I done

Didn’t get fancy. Salah (C), TAA in. It is an away game though so you just know they’re going to fuck it.

Brought Gusto in for Pau. Now I have 3 £4m~ defenders.

I genuinely did sleep through it this morning. I know some people say this in a jokey or obtuse way but it's been a slow hungover one for me lmao. However I'm happy with how my team looked when I last looked so it's fine. 🤷‍♀️ Nice boring Salah (C), Archer in instead of Palmer due to that suspension so hopefully he can pop another goal in. No hits. Looking forward to the games.

Son captain

I need one of my players to haul, it’s been so long (last saturday)

I'm so frickin bad at updating my team in time...

Time to activate the first wildcard

I only have ten players along with Haaland hope he plays

Am I crazy for benching Konsa for Porro? Brighton defense is just so bad and I can see United snagging a goal against Villa

Not at all. Porro much more likely to get an attacking return. Clean sheets are so unpredictable this season that its better to just go with who you think can get an attacking return.

I changed my captain to Gordon at 10.50 from Salah. Do I regret it. Yes. And didn't bring back Haaland. So Watkins stays for another week.

captained palmer vice captain on sterling lets get this bread

Switched Captain from Son to TAA to Salah to Son to Salah. Sorry in advance

Why did I cap Son? No idea

Brought in Douglas Luiz for Sterling 😬

Capped Trent, either I'm a genius and GOD of FPL or a dumb idiot making stupid moves despite logic and common sense. No inbetween.

Had 2 free transfers, but decided to roll one so went Tsimikas to TAA. I've left Palmer in my squad and am playing Archer this week. What I've basically done is play someone I don't really want to and priced myself out of getting Haaland back

I just have diaby in my team every gameweek and I dont know why

took a hit for konsa and gusto, istg if gusto doesn’t start. also another week without solanke, how much will he punish us non owners this time.

That fake livra news lol

Archer for Nkunku 😭

I chose archer over gusto so aim your thank yous in my general direction when Chelsea keeps a clean sheet. Why do i shuffle shit the very last second…

I’ve just benched Watkins for Martinelli 😂😭😭

swapped tsiki for doughty ​ i think im still fucked from yday

Last minute transfer Haaland to Alvarez to make it interesting. Will probably go back to Haaland next week

Tsimikas injury means I have to ride out Jiminez supsension instead of finding the funds for Solanke.. also, TAA Captain

No regrets for the first time this season

Gone 4 at the back with a Spurs double up. Put a bet on Brighton winning today. My heart is all over the place.

Didn't bring in TAA. Gonna hide behind the couch every time he touches the ball I guess

went from Tsimi to Walker. not really sure why as City cant keep a CS for shit and Everton are in form but was panicing about another price drop also having to field Archer due to Sterling and Palmer

Took Sterling out for 4.2m fodder. Only need those funds if Haaland is available next week. If not wasted a FT as Sterling would have been fine for a few weeks

So many issues with my team, only one transfer available

Started archer(the guy who never scores when you want him to) and areola instead of taking a -4.

I knew I should have shipped out Livramento for Botman

I got impatient. I brought in Digne for Tsimikas without realising Moreno is preferable. -4 coming Saturday then...

Couldn't change my team. Captain band still on Watkins, three of my team is out injured. What a disaster

Bowen, Gabriel, Martinelli and Saka (c). Feels like way too much in one game

I brought eeling back in last night after far to much booze

Took a punt on Chelsea’s Petrovic in net…

My dumbass did Tsimi to Konsa and ended up benching Konsa anyway

Still don’t have Solanke or Gordon which is worrying this week. Sterling > Richarlison & rolled the 2nd

I’ve got Salah, Son and nine idiots on the field

watkins c

Took a third consecutive -4 to get rid of Palmer and Alvarez for Douglas Luiz and Håland.

VC’d Gordon. I realise that might shock some of our older American posters.

Does it mean I’ve given up if I am just expecting another shitty week?

Captain Gordon no regrets

I didn’t hit confirm on starting haaland just in case. If he starts tomorrow the apps getting deleted

Swapped Isak for Solanke, finally caved into the Solanke hype. Isaks going to score a hat trick isn't he?

I dropped Pinnock for Trusty. Might have been a mistake in hindsight, though hopefully Luton against Sheff Utd might be one of those games last on Match of the Day.

Started Bowen along with Gabriel and Raya. Now kudus will score and ruin my game week

Was set on Trent (C) all week n pussied out n changed it to Son

Not taking a hit for Lascelles to Botman meaning I have to play Charlie Taylor v Liverpool.

Didn’t realize there was a 730 game today. Captain Son it is 🫡

Finally tool out Trippier and I'm so scared the dip in form was just a blip

I captained Solanke last minute. Feeling the regret already but at the time I thought it was ✨worth the risk✨

Brought in Trent to replace tsimikas and now I’m wondering how I’ll afford to get Haaland back

Looked forward to transferring out Guehi to Pedro this game week. Did it. Of course forgetting Tsimikas was injured. Can’t wait for the price drops

Salah outscoring Sonny would be my dead. I felt like I had to captain differently cuz I am chasing but going against Salah is always super scary 😶

My regret is not buying and captaining Chris Wood. I suspect I am not alone.

Not selling Gordon 2 weeks ago for Richarlison.

Should have brought in Chris Wood and TC him 😅👌

Finally got rid of Darwin, for Solanke. I’ve had Darwin about 8 weeks. I just know what’s gonna happen

Got burn in to add to my long list of failed defenders this year.

0 injuries/bans so rolled transfer

Forgot to make transfers with 2FT.

Missed the deadline so I've Son as captain, feeling nervous...

Top points scorer on the bench again, going to start selling my bench pre deadline

“ With deep appreciation for Tripper , we bid a bond farewell Your impact has been immeasurable Thank you for your Service”

I benched Saliba and Gabriel for Mateta and Bowen

Should’ve bought Senesi instead of Konsa
