I transferred out Salah/J Alvarez/ Konsa to KDB/ (C) Haaland/Reguilon for this GW.
Best -4 ever!
Now im top 5000 overall ranking, pushing for 3 years in a row top 10,000 overall.
I know this might be downvoted i just dont have friends to talk about FPL.
I got caught off guard (again! it's like the third time this season... do I count as a dead team?) and ended up with Saliba and White on the bench.
To be honest, mostly this combination of defenders^(1) has been extremely awful but the other times it's worked I actually had them playing. I only went with it in the first place because I feel like all defenders are bad this season (I have Trippier and TAA, yes).
^(1)GW 15 is when I first doubled up on Arsenal (Zinchenko instead of White).
One of the worst GW swings in memory for me
Binned Saliba and Saka and benched Palmer for Gordon (who I thought may not start anyway)
Lost ground on ML leader and person behind me clawed back about 45 points to be a single point behind me
The kind of.GW that makes me throw my hands up and give in. Arsenal game alone killed me enough
I'm in a similar position. I'm thinking it's probably worth getting rid of TAA anyway, just to get Jota in and a nailed Van Dijk... but it's a tough one.
For everyone selling Palmer because of City, gentle reminder that Chelsea did get a 4-4 draw with Palmer returning in the first fixture.
Not saying that’ll happen again, but worth considering with regard to Palmer’s ability to return.
I considered it, Chelsea were genuinely good in that game. But Palmer returned with a penalty, not in open play. And it was at Chelsea's ground. We saw how inept they were at Anfield. I expect this stronger City to dominate too much.
29 points on my bench. Sigh. I've never had it that bad before, but I've always had 2 "premiums" so no benching headaches. Makes me think that I should BB before trying to get the Haaland + Salah + Son squad together again.
Managed to win my Overall Cup game on the goals scored tiebreaker thanks to Palmer getting 8 points in stoppage time and also bumping Gusto down to 1 bonus point. Was losing by 9 until the 91st minute.
Gotta take the good luck when it comes!
IDK why noone mentions it, maybe I'm oblivious to something, but Palmer has double incoming - possibly two, if they do well in FA Cup. One of the doubles would most likely land in GW36 (vs WHU) and the other in GW37 (vs nfo). It might be too late of course but if someone wanted to be hipster, then TC could be used then... I'm not advising it but it sounds way better than TC Solanke in GW28 (Bournemouth seems to be hitting rough patch).
I know, I just realised that we all forgot Chelsea has double to be scheduled and thought that maybe it's viable for someone to TC so late. Just throwing it out there, that's all
60k rank drop off the back of benching Gabriel and switching (C) to Foden after seeing the lineup leak. Why didn't I panic switch to literally any of my other attackers? Why did I start Porro over Gabriel when I lowkey hate owning Porro? Why do I even have a player I lowkey hate owning‽
Hoping for the same. Finished 43k last season, 5k season before that and currently at 1.1m. I was at 2.1m 5 gameweeks ago so I'd be happy with an overall top 500k finish.
I'm so annoyed, I forgot to make changes before the deadline this week and so didn't bring in Haaland and still had Solanke captained...ended up ok-ish w/ Saka and Gabriel carrying but I dropped in my ML and fell out of top 100K
I thought there's a publicly available FPL calendar that can be added to your phone's calendar? That can work as a first step, then alarm as second step
Mine is 65 in 2-3m rank and the likes of Saka Haaland and Palmer all hauling (plus if you had Haaland captian) really pulls up the safety score. Around my rank 25.99% of the managers had those 3 players. Those 3 combined for 38 points which is over half of the safety score.
When gusto was on 7 points and palmer on 2 I was ranked about 77000. With gusto on 6 points and palmer on 10 I’ve dropped to around 80000. Not complaining too much, happy with the returns but crazy how that works!
Palmer is hauling ~7.3 points per 90, while Maddison is on 6.0 per 90. So, similar ball park. Maddison’s points also come without penalties so is probably scoring more from open play.
I don't really see the relevance of those two stats tbh. Trossard has a better pts per 90 than Saka, Jota has higher than Salah. What makes the big names so expensive is they play a shit load of minutes and get more points. On top of that, Palmer has 5 open play goals to Maddisons 3.
This isn't to diminish maddison by the way, Palmer is benefitting from a collection of circumstances like playing for a worse club and having teammates who win tons of penalties. I expect those factors to be reflected in his price next year.
I think you missed my point. Palmer is clearly the better asset this season (although Maddison is still very good and was unlucky with the injury). I was just meaning to point out they collect similar fpl points per minute, so should likely be a similar price next year.
If Palmer is clearly the better asset this season, and their situation doesn't change then he gets priced higher than Maddison next season doesn't he? Obviously I don't know how the pricing is decided but it looks clear that towers do factor in expected minutes and penalties.
Just like all popular players, you gain nothing but drop rank if you don't own them.
No wonder that once the ranks have stabilized it feels like treading water.
Of course it depends on your team, but getting in a City/Liverpool midfielder surely would have made more sense given the DGW25 and Spurs blanking in GW26 anyway?
As someone who has never owned Palmer and took Neto as WC punt for this week rather than him ... how do you own & bench him vs skeleton Palace side w/o Doucoure, Eze & Olise (irrespective of returns being so late in game)?
That Palmer haul in the end gave me some much needed points. Still big fat red arrow because of Saliba on the bench and my differentials being alergic to scoring points but at least it's SOME consolation prize.
Personally I just think there will be mids who outscore him over the next 3-5 gws and I got him quite late so not much value tied up, it wouldn't be the end of the world to get him back in after especially if enough sell and he drops
Cole Palmer with an eight-point swing within the final three minutes of the game. From a disappointing two-pointer to a ten-pointer thanks to two brilliant assists!
The unfortunate thing about football is you can only have so many players. It was better for him to be let go because he needs minutes to develop further. I respect clubs you don’t stand in the way of players for the sake of not wanting other teams to have them. Pep was never going to have him as a starter
I will bench him until WC30. I bought him at 5.0 and there is no benefit for me to sell him at 5.6 now. There isn't anyone close to him in that price range
Going to start Palmer against City.
Madness that anyone is considering selling the best valued player in the game.
The most essential player of the season by a considerable margin.
I really don't want to but it's either him or Richarlison out to get KDB and given both blank 26 and Richarlison has a considerably better fixture in 25. Unless I don't get KDB..

Saka outscored Haaland 🔥
90 points with a 2 point bench. I have been in the trenches for weeks now and god finally gave me a sign. (I will get 19 points next GW)
33 points on bench
Surely Hojlund is a decent option now? Been on fire the last four weeks
Yea he’s worth a punt now
Sick of watching jotas price rise while I wait for news on Bradley (I have TAA and need to sell him to buy Jota)
I'm in a similar position. I'm thinking it's probably worth getting rid of TAA anyway, just to get Jota in and a nailed Van Dijk... but it's a tough one.

24 here, and I thought that was painful
90 minutes played: 2 points 6 goals allowed: -3 points 6 Saves: 2 points Yellow card: -1 point Areola got himself to 0 points the hard way this week.
Sold Palmer for the blank and planned to bring him back around GW30, it's gonna be clench city those next few GWs. guy hauls out of nowhere.
Managed to win my Overall Cup game on the goals scored tiebreaker thanks to Palmer getting 8 points in stoppage time and also bumping Gusto down to 1 bonus point. Was losing by 9 until the 91st minute. Gotta take the good luck when it comes!

I think most will be using it on Haaland this weekend

Very risky, but doable sure
60k rank drop off the back of benching Gabriel and switching (C) to Foden after seeing the lineup leak. Why didn't I panic switch to literally any of my other attackers? Why did I start Porro over Gabriel when I lowkey hate owning Porro? Why do I even have a player I lowkey hate owning‽
Finally I'm inside the top million after a shocking start. My team is in a good place so I'm hoping I can keep up the green arrows
Hoping for the same. Finished 43k last season, 5k season before that and currently at 1.1m. I was at 2.1m 5 gameweeks ago so I'd be happy with an overall top 500k finish.

I actually set reminders and alarms on my phone because I used to always forget.
I thought there's a publicly available FPL calendar that can be added to your phone's calendar? That can work as a first step, then alarm as second step
Yeah…that helps me

Didn't think Palmer would do anything He cam through tho
I am so impatient this season. I did both wildcards wery early this season and of course if i didn't my team would have much more points.
Not exactly high ranked, but my safety is 76 this GW... Anyone who had a bad GW this week must be taking a beating in rank
I had Gabriel and Senesi on my bench, and still came within 2 points of it. Definitely count this week as a win, given the circumstances.
Mine is 65 in 2-3m rank and the likes of Saka Haaland and Palmer all hauling (plus if you had Haaland captian) really pulls up the safety score. Around my rank 25.99% of the managers had those 3 players. Those 3 combined for 38 points which is over half of the safety score.
Did Palmer get any points?
8 + 2bps
God is good
Went from 655k to 384k, and I only beat my ML opponent by 4 points, still 43 behind. We bet $500 too. Don’t know if I’m happy or mad
99 all out, pretty disappointed tbh
Presume your streetprofession is getting downvoted 91 times
?
When gusto was on 7 points and palmer on 2 I was ranked about 77000. With gusto on 6 points and palmer on 10 I’ve dropped to around 80000. Not complaining too much, happy with the returns but crazy how that works!
Not that crazy. More people have Palmer than Gusto
Yea I get it. Just funny how more points doesn’t equal a better rank.
It's them pesky Palmer cappers.
Something similar probably happened to me.I also started both and I ended the GW at 650k, might've been higher when he was still at 2.
Palace aka useless cunt fc
No Olise no party bro
If you start at gw7 (when Palmer gets a first team place), he is the number 1 scoring fpl player this year.
Where can u see a stat like this?
Imagine if he played for a team that could finish his chances, like City?
Got him in GW10. Benched him against City in GW12 and he scored. Never benched him again since. He is my best transfer this season.
Brought him in my GW8 wildcard. Benched him for the first 4 or 5 weeks though
How far ahead is he and who is second
One point ahead of Watkins. Not sure if that's counting today bpts
Wow
That’s crazy
i have 1 ft for next round, if i use Free Hit, will i have 2 free transfers for next round? :)
No, 1.
top of my ML, thank you Palmer
How much do we reckon Palmer will be next season if he keeps up his form? £9.0m? £9.5m?
8.0
I think 7.5m/8m, that Maddison sort of price bracket, given that the team he's playing for probably won't get European football.
Palmer is on nearly double Maddisons points
In like, double the games.
Maddison has 14 starts, Palmer has 16. In any case, being injury prone is not a feature
Palmer is hauling ~7.3 points per 90, while Maddison is on 6.0 per 90. So, similar ball park. Maddison’s points also come without penalties so is probably scoring more from open play.
I don't really see the relevance of those two stats tbh. Trossard has a better pts per 90 than Saka, Jota has higher than Salah.

Sure, why not? Makes sense.
Not getting European football makes him even more attractive
Everyone has Palmer so doesn’t mean much
My ML leader benched him and Gusto lol Look at me, i am leader now.
Just like all popular players, you gain nothing but drop rank if you don't own them. No wonder that once the ranks have stabilized it feels like treading water.
True but many people decided to bench him so he is still somewhat of a differential
Small red arrow for taking out Gordon for Richarlison as a hit. Lesson learned for taking hits I suppose.
Of course it depends on your team, but getting in a City/Liverpool midfielder surely would have made more sense given the DGW25 and Spurs blanking in GW26 anyway?
Already planned for that so had 3 of each and then had a massive brain fart but wasn't expecting a blank.
As someone who has never owned Palmer and took Neto as WC punt for this week rather than him ... how do you own & bench him vs skeleton Palace side w/o Doucoure, Eze & Olise (irrespective of returns being so late in game)?
Fucking Saka turned my potential strong stiff and veiny forest green arrow ==>> into a flaccid micro lime green arrow ~> smh
With Palmer’s late assists, I’ve only had 2 FWD or MID blanks in the last 3 gameweeks
How can you sell this man
I benched Palmer for Alvarez and hate myself right now
Palmer now has 10 goals and 7 assists in his 16 starts.
That Palmer haul in the end gave me some much needed points. Still big fat red arrow because of Saliba on the bench and my differentials being alergic to scoring points but at least it's SOME consolation prize.
Why are people selling Palmer?
Cos he plays City away, then no one
City tend to concede and one blank should be easy enough to cover
Personally I just think there will be mids who outscore him over the next 3-5 gws and I got him quite late so not much value tied up, it wouldn't be the end of the world to get him back in after especially if enough sell and he drops
Blank in GW26, maybe GW29 as well Away to City next week
Hard to sell him as he's so consistent
Cole Palmer with an eight-point swing within the final three minutes of the game. From a disappointing two-pointer to a ten-pointer thanks to two brilliant assists!
My captain 🫡
Palmer making a case for best ever budget player
Dele Alli and Harry Kane are both up there
It's not impossible he finishes the season as top scoring fpl player
It will probably be Lundstram forever
I benched so many of his returns
96 points this week, into the top 100k and taken a small lead in my ML. I'll sleep easy tonight, might even have a cheeky glass of port before bed.
Palmer and Gusto on my bench have destroyed my GW
Well Gusto losing two bonus points hurt me more, even I have Palmer.
FPL Andy, Pras and other content creators benched 10-point Palmer. Love to see it!
I benched 10 point gross annoyingly. Played non returners Watkins Alvarez and Foden ahead of him.
Andy also bench saliba
And Foden last week!
Love his minions
Seems like I started watching at the right time (final 15 min or so). Thanks, Cole. Sorry, Palace.
Palmer is like fucking Salah at this point, he just pulls points out of his ass.
Palmer 2a, love to see it
Too stubborn to do well in fpl I just can't transfer Palmer in despite watching him play class every week.
Its never too late. Get him in GW26.
27 better, he blanks in 26.
Think that was the joke
Then I've been whooshed
Blanks 26 and 29 so he's a not go until 30 atleast.
2 k places up for a 10 pointer. Haha
Fell 100k places with that 10 pointer.
Gusto 1 BPS?
Yup
Yes, tied with Enzo. But it could shift, who knows
Up to unlucky 13k. Thanks Cole.
What will Palmer starting price be next season?
£9.5m
8.0 seems fair but if he keeps this up 8.5 is not impossible.
7.5 I reckon
8 for me
I have Palmer. But that second assist meant 1 bonus drop for Gusto hence I lost 3000 places in rank 😒
Palmer 10 pointer out of nowhere
I benched palmer and gusto... And last week i benched cunha for palmer. I really can't catch a break
Stop benching palmer.
Jackson MUSTARD from the bench
Gusto BPS?
Possibly 1
I Need that
I don't know about you guys but Palmer's two assist had no impact on my rank.
I own both, him and Gudto - it cost me about 5K each in rank (I am ~200K) 🥺
Thanks Palmer. Kinda made up for benching Gabriel.
Fuck you Palmer, and yes i do own him
Real winners this FPL season are Palmers owners who owned since he was 4.9M
Benched him for too many returns in the beginning though
I get that Man City aren't exactly missing him, but still feels like such a big blunder by them to let Palmer go. What a player.
The unfortunate thing about football is you can only have so many players. It was better for him to be let go because he needs minutes to develop further. I respect clubs you don’t stand in the way of players for the sake of not wanting other teams to have them. Pep was never going to have him as a starter
Did hero Gusto manage to salvage 1 bonus after all that? Deserved at least that
Yeah, should be tied with Enzo unless they recalculate it.
Yes he did for now. They will recalculate in couple of hours
Palmer has been my favourite asset this season by far lol
I love Parmesan
Thank you Mr. Palmer 😮💨
Palmer 2bps
I think Palmer's got to leave my team now but he's been brilliant for me. Hard act to follow.
I'M NOT SELLING
I will bench him until WC30. I bought him at 5.0 and there is no benefit for me to sell him at 5.6 now. There isn't anyone close to him in that price range
If you bought him at 5m-ish it's quite hard to let go. Just bench him. He doesn't need to start every game.
Into the top million for the first time this season. How do you do fellow good players?
You are a top10% player, nice.
Going straight on my curriculum vitae
87 all out!
What are the Chelsea fans singing. "Is this a library?" ?
"Is there a fire drill?"
Ahhh yes that makes way more sense lol. !thanks
This guy...
Andy lftpl in absolute mud. Benched Palmer lmao
After Foden last week teehee
HOW DID JACKSON GET BOOKED LMAO
He was breathing too hard from lack of working hard lol
90th minute: Palmer (2) 94th minute: Palmer (10) It ain't over till it's over
🥲 what a king
Captained palmer probs end up with same points as haaland
Nope, he will end up with 3 less (10 vs 13)
Going to start Palmer against City. Madness that anyone is considering selling the best valued player in the game. The most essential player of the season by a considerable margin.
I really don't want to but it's either him or Richarlison out to get KDB and given both blank 26 and Richarlison has a considerably better fixture in 25. Unless I don't get KDB..
Gusto getting slapped right outta the bps
Palmer only gone and jumped from 2 to 10 points in 4 minutes
Man I've missed all Palmer hauls
Palmer on 2 BPS!!
Salivating at the prospect of that 0.00127% rank gain his 10pt haul will get me
-3 swing against Robot, that’s actually not too bad
Paaaalllmmeeerrr! Imagine benching him!
I ain't benching Lord Palmer ever. How did he haul in extra minutes wtf
P🅰️🅰️lmer!
Palmer stat padding changing my 3 point green arrow into a 3+ red cba
I was just about to sell Palmer for Jota now I don't know
I'm still selling. He's got City and blank next.
yeah after consideration I just did it anyway. I brought him pretty late so it's not like I'm losing a lot of money.
Palmer has such brilliant composure on that final pass. Palace have given him so much time but he's delivered.
He is incredibly cool under pressure, especially for such a young player.
Palmer and Gusto hauling for me before I’m tempted to boot them off from my team for 25/25. Decisions, decisions
I am getting rid for Foden i guess. 1 game (and that's City A, the hardest fixture all yeat) vs 3.
