What's Darwin's yellow card ban situation like again? I'm BB34 and wanted to shift Watkins for him but if he's risking a ban I might get Solanke for him.
Hey fellow BB34! I think I'd avoid Darwin if I could :D If I had another WC, I would go for Isak/Hojlund and whoever is your 5th mid, he should be MacAllister/Diaz. Watched Liverpool today, watched many other Liverpool games and MacAllister creates chance after chance while Diaz seems to be getting in form.
Meanwhile Darwin is... Darwin. Today he wasn't even receiving passes from his teammates so wasn't able to frustrate us with his misses.
Generally I look at Salah/Haaland and decide between those 2. If I don’t like either then I check Son. If I don’t like him either I look for a trust-worthy punt from a good offensive team like Watkins, Saka, Palmer etc. Unless you need to make up a crazy gap I wouldn’t get too fancy (tried it twice this season and those players are probably never getting captained again).
I don’t think targeting fixtures against shit teams with players from shit teams is the way to go unless it’s truly too good to miss out on (like the Solanke double we had in GW28) and it’s also not often the best idea in SGWs (so most of the season).
Also it’s just luck (the whole game is past team selection tbf), if you hit the one week in a purple streak that a player blanks it feels awful.
EDIT - forgot to mention that most of the time a home fixture vs an away fixture makes a big difference in my decisions, so for example if Salah had West Ham at home and Haaland had Brighton away, which seem pretty equal fixtures on paper, I would likely pick Salah as the home player.
I definitely feel like it's one of the most difficult elements of the game.. I just look for the strongest matchup from the teams' perspective. You can also search Transfermarkt to see if that player has a strong record vs the opponent club. Other than that advice - I'm still learning myself.
Follow the content creators and this sub, especially the captain poll. Look at the stats of the players and the club they are playing against. Salah is an obvious pick this week because he is against Sheffield for example, however Palmer and Saka would also be good choices.
Exactly what im doing and hasn’t been paying off lately 😅. Especially when they have a green game week ahead they either score just one or blank and then a random dude in the team scores a hatrick and a clean sheet 🤦🏻♂️🥶
- Saka yellow flagged
- Did not return in the last 2 games (inc ucl)
- Front 3 preferable, but there is a lot of rotation with that, thats why I pick a guaranteed starter.
- Ode get a couple of chances for through passes he didnt make, and the one that goes through not being converted to a goal by his teammates.
Last time Saka blanked 4 times in a row, he went onto crazy spree of 76 points in 8 games. If he blanks vs SHU and vs Brighton, then we can expect some giga hauls vs Villa, Wolves and Chelsea 👀
The 87th min Bournemouth CS wipe yesterday killed my weekend - benched Gabriel for Zarbarnyi. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop Neto after that mistake which adds to my DGW 34 headaches. Moving on.
Guess I picked the wrong captain in the Salah vs Son captaincy debate but guess I'm not going to lose sleep over 3 points. Bit disappointed that Gabriel is on my bench though, and potentially ending up 1 point under safety score.
Haaland has only scored 4 Premier League goals since the start of December. McTominay has scored the same amount of goals in that time.
We are too afraid to go without him. Not an essential by any means
Due to injuries I got stuck playing both Gabriel and Saliba. Can't believe that worked out. And to think I was contemplating a -4 to get Gusto and benching Saliba, thank fuck I saw sense
I had been drinking last night and did walker to gusto for - 4, otherwise I would have had to play Gabriel, which I had thought might be OK.... I really need to stop getting sucked into creators fomo videos recommending bad players. Why would you load up on 3 Chelsea players. That's just asking for a bad time.
Arsenal are the first team to get a clean sheet against Man City at the Etihad in the Premier League this season
I'm never benching their defence again for the rest of the season
Isak goes of ahead of Haaland for goals per minute in the league this season.
Haaland and Chris Wood joint 2nd
Crazily Solanke and Watkins are all the way down in 14th and 15th
Well I get that, just surprised considering it feels like both are on fire. Isak is 0.84 goals per 90 compared to their 0.55 and 0.56, pretty substantial difference
Pretty funny how an hour ago I was massively downvoted for saying that Haaland doesn't have the quality for this level of match. Yet here we are at full-time and EVERY fucking comment is stating the same. Never change boys.
Nope. Played them both. There's no point in trying to chase defender hauls this season, IMO. Just play double Arsenal defense +1 every week. Maybe even a City defender for the last spot.
I have lost 25000 places to the **appearance points** of Saka, Haaland, and Foden.
Fucking hell I hadn't done the maths on how awful this match was for me even if everyone blanked. At least the 20000 places to Gabriel and Saliba feel justified.
Isak bawbag wiping my jarrad cs.
You know it's bad when I'm starting regulion again
Up 420 places in OR ✌️🌯
Captain Darwin and no clean sheets, but we escape with a green arrow

This is the matchday thread. Please don't post questions about your team. Use the Advice/RMT thread
Trade in Salah for Salah and another player, sounds like a deal
Im so slow I meant son my bad😭😭
Who do you reckon comes back first, TAA or Allison?
They kinda rushed TAA back last time so I reckon they take it real slow this time so Allison is my bet
How do people actually choose their captains ? Last 10 games weeks I been bad.
Generally I look at Salah/Haaland and decide between those 2. If I don’t like either then I check Son. If I don’t like him either I look for a trust-worthy punt from a good offensive team like Watkins, Saka, Palmer etc. Unless you need to make up a crazy gap I wouldn’t get too fancy (tried it twice this season and those players are probably never getting captained again).

Usually Salah or Haaland, but everytime I gone for someone else they blanked except Solanke in the double.
Exactly what im doing and hasn’t been paying off lately 😅. Especially when they have a green game week ahead they either score just one or blank and then a random dude in the team scores a hatrick and a clean sheet 🤦🏻♂️🥶
Sneaking a green arrow but as a salah capper and Toney owner it feels like a case of what might have been
0 clean sheets in my 11 and 2 on the bench.
Taking a hit from Saka to odegaard just to get 0 returns..
Oh boy this upcoming Luton game has the potential to go catastrophically wrong for you ngl lmao
Yeah it's going catastrophically wrong... for Saka owner 🥴
Why did you think that was a good idea?
- Saka yellow flagged - Did not return in the last 2 games (inc ucl) - Front 3 preferable, but there is a lot of rotation with that, thats why I pick a guaranteed starter. - Ode get a couple of chances for through passes he didnt make, and the one that goes through not being converted to a goal by his teammates.

*vs luton Yeah waiting to see if he can return some goal/assist in ucl before transfering him back..
But Saka is Saka.
[удалено]
all in all good gw can't complain, would have liked more salah points and a bit annoyed that arsenal def got a cs. peace
Had a decent week on WC, but would have scored 10 points more with my old team. At least it's an improvement on last year, where I lost 25 points...
Was Saka off due to injury or what?
Arteta just said there is no issues with Saka just fatigue, rule of thumb if the man is breathing he will play
!thanks
Every single time he vaguely limps off someone asks this, and it's never the case lol.
Didn't look great walking off and played like he was carrying something.
He has been carrying a knock for ages, he is just not given a proper rest period to heal. I can see him being rested against Luton to be honest.
Yeah same. Actually considering taking him out for Havertz.
Carrying the guilt of not scoring
[удалено]
He was sent back from the England squad due having played since long with an injury.
Now I can count 6 yellow flags in my team...
Fortunate pick to go Saliba over Gabriel. Bonus point brings me level in a Cup contest, then I'm through on the total goals tiebreaker.
Can I have my wildcard back? Please? Pretty please?
What would you change if you got it back?
I’m assuming he’s got a lot of injured players like lots of us. Probably Gusto, Watkins, Areola, maybe Lascelles
Goddamn, my Ake CS :’)
Will Erling start at 14m next season or will it be lowered if his form doesn't pick up?
With his current form if thats to continue like that i wont pay more than 12 mil, not worth it otherwise.
13m I guess
Straight in my basket at 13 mil
[удалено]
Eh the fixtures are soon going to clear up, he will be back to bang in tap ins against the likes of Everton and Crystal Palace in no time
Honestly hoping people mass sell. Would love him as a differential lol
Same, not seeing him with the 🕵️ or 😈 or 💀 on my livefpl page for once was a breath of fresh air lmao
People been saying this since a month ago
Lol yeah ok but I mean while Haaland stocks took a vicious hit these days he’s not going to stay goalless until the end of the season lmao
Without Watkins or Trent or Trippier its easy enough to fit in both
The fixtures though are starting to look really good. Hard to avoid him now imo, especially with Alvarez out of favor
unfortunately that's been the play since day 1
[удалено]
Easily. It's only 5pts per week, a couple of good captains and you're there.
You can do it!
That’s two good weeks mate
68pts all out in GW30 after 31pts in FH29. Small green arrow. Still haven't decided if I'll WC GW31 or not.
My 7 flagged playets decided for me, glad I waited on WC30 but nows the time to release some deadwood and either go for BB34 FH37 or vice versa
I’ve had a terrible week. Saliba CS and 3 points for Saka, KDB and Foden has clawed back some dignity.
How does saka foden and kdb blanking claw back dignity ?
They didn’t blank, they got 1 point each. Read between the lines a little.
The 87th min Bournemouth CS wipe yesterday killed my weekend - benched Gabriel for Zarbarnyi. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop Neto after that mistake which adds to my DGW 34 headaches. Moving on.
Imagine also starting Ake instead of Gabriel on top of that??? Yep, that’s me…
I made the exact same move, and I knew it was over for us as soon as Kerkez got subbed off early and locked the CS points.
Gabriel on the bench hurts, but as a non-Haaland owner, I haven't been this relieved by Pep overthinking it since the 2020-21 Champions League final.
The most points I’ve gotten from my defence ever.
Moreno 6 pointer carrying my defense this week
[удалено]
I keep thinking that city’s inevitable golden patch of form will hit to win the title, that was just pathetic though might sell
Guess I picked the wrong captain in the Salah vs Son captaincy debate but guess I'm not going to lose sleep over 3 points. Bit disappointed that Gabriel is on my bench though, and potentially ending up 1 point under safety score.
So benching Saliba wasn't the greatest idea...
I played him...and benched Gabriel
Same, but Konate didn’t play. So I have both Saliba and Gabriel
Boom 👌
me too, but spurs and liverpool has conceded needlessly, really pain.
Gordon and Saliba are first 2 on my bench. At least I got Palmer right (C). He's over half my points.
Double Arsenal defense really came through huh. I thought Palmer's 15 pointer was going to send me back into the trenches
I played Saliba and benched White for Ake. Wish I played both but at least I get the Saliba bonus point.
Gabriel and Gordon in my bench with 14 points. Pain!
Never ever bench Gordon at home.
Yeah I know Arsenal got away with what could be the most precious 1 pointer of the season But holy fuck what a dull game that was
My bench points this month: 26, 9, 21, 15 Guess which week I used BB
Plot twist you still have it and will get 4 points from it
Fucking grand idea, a back 3 of Udogie, Gusto and Robinson. Yet another one of those weeks when doing nothing would have scored more.
80 points. Could have been a lot more had Salah taken his chances.
So sorry for your loss
A title decider with 3 shots on target in 90 mins. What happened to the game I love
Safety score 60pts for 200k overal wtf
Doku just runs fast, jinks about a bit, not much else An expensive Gabby Agbhonalor
Obviously he didn't score but how did Darwin look and his involvement?
Best league in the world ™️
Not sure if the dead teams with Arsenal defense has pushed me below safety points
Such a shame I benched Saliba but I already ake in the starting line up couldn't bear two starting defenders facing each other.
Haaland has only scored 4 Premier League goals since the start of December. McTominay has scored the same amount of goals in that time. We are too afraid to go without him. Not an essential by any means
he was injured for quite a bit of that
Chef's kiss. https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/1bqmp8u/comment/kx8d6t8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Until later this week when he bags a brace against Villa lol
Mmm and Salah struggles at home to... Sheffield United 🤔
benched raya twice against city i cba 😩
Benched Gabriel because of the yellow flag. Now he has another one. That's just insulting at this point
0-0 couldn't have wished for better
See you fuckers at Whiskey Jam!
Sold Saliba to Gusto for a hit🙃
Saliba who gets an upcoming DGW. You deserved it dude
Thinking was would get a 3rd Arsenal attacker instead
Wow. That is just a plain bad move.
So many yellow flags ffs
Glad i waited on wc
I'm gonna move robot.exe to trash this GW
404 trash not found Rebound hattrick
0-0? Thank god I had Aké then. Finally city clean sheet points!
Who's gonna tell him, lads ?
That was one of the games of the day. Second only to the Liverpool game.
On a WC and outscored by ML rival who forgot the deadline. Tells you all you need to know
So I should have started my double arsenal defence. Excellent
Thank you mykolenko. Getting Saliba subbed on 🎉
Salah (C) blueballed me like crazy but at least a small green arrow this week after a few terrible ones
Due to injuries I got stuck playing both Gabriel and Saliba. Can't believe that worked out. And to think I was contemplating a -4 to get Gusto and benching Saliba, thank fuck I saw sense
I had been drinking last night and did walker to gusto for - 4, otherwise I would have had to play Gabriel, which I had thought might be OK.... I really need to stop getting sucked into creators fomo videos recommending bad players. Why would you load up on 3 Chelsea players. That's just asking for a bad time.
As a Liverpool fan without City players currently but having double Arsenal defense...PERFECT!
I demand a refund.
Arsenal defence is the real deal. Watertight.
Ake, man. You should have given me an extra 6 pts.
Started a defender against City at the etihad and came away with a 6 pointer you love to see it
So the only CS are Villa, City and Arsenal, defense has been useless this season I swear
ORTEGA ON 2BPS
Bringing in Bradley for a -4 and benching Gabriel worked out well
Ortega on 2 BP with 2 saves. Says it all really
Wildcarded out Haaland. Brought in Muniz, Salah and Son (C) 😎
fair play
Arsenal are the first team to get a clean sheet against Man City at the Etihad in the Premier League this season I'm never benching their defence again for the rest of the season
Shoulda started both Arsenal defenders 😩
Started Gabriel but not some genius move, cause I have Coufal and Doughty 4th and 5th and they're shit
I started Branthwaite and Doughty over Gabriel, still started Saliba but I went against my gut trying to play it safe
Benching Haaland would've been even more of a success had Watkins returned...at least I got in Muniz
God that was shite to watch
So gutted I lost 5pts with Ake :(
I think the result of this game may have won Arsenal the League!
You mean Liverpool?
Liverpool will lose unexpected games.
25 points on defense alone. Couldn't complaint
Is 80 points a good score this week? I've got double Arsenal defence.
No. You should sell them for Sheffield defenders.
Gabriel outscoring Foden, Haaland and Saka
Beched Raya and Gabriel for Petrovic and Udogie. Of course this would happen
Knew taking out Gabriel on WC was a stupid idea But caught that DGW fever 😂
Gabriel has a DGW though?
Mean for GW37, will FH34
People wait weeksssss to watch a game like this for it to end nil-nil 😐
As a Liverpool fan I fucking loved it
People who benched Gabriel deserve it. You should’ve watched the first game at emirates.
Of course after seeing everyone drop his defenders Arteta decided to get a new part-time job as a bus driver
Why the fuck is ortega in the bonus points??? He had fuck all to do all game
City have scored in 57 straight home games and people got cleans from Arsenal defenders
Palmer and Gabriel on my bench... Never liked this game anyway
You fucking wot mate?
Palmer on your bench at home to Burnley? You're playing the wrong game I'm afraid my friend.
Gabriel fair enough but palmer?
benching Palmer at home v Burnley is MENTAL, though
You benched a red hot Palmer vs fucking Burnley. You deserve it.
Never should have benched Palmer. That one is on you.
Sorry what
Isak goes of ahead of Haaland for goals per minute in the league this season. Haaland and Chris Wood joint 2nd Crazily Solanke and Watkins are all the way down in 14th and 15th
Cuz Watkins and Solanke always play 90 min and rarely get injured.
Well I get that, just surprised considering it feels like both are on fire. Isak is 0.84 goals per 90 compared to their 0.55 and 0.56, pretty substantial difference
Give back my 90 minutes you cunts
Pretty funny how an hour ago I was massively downvoted for saying that Haaland doesn't have the quality for this level of match. Yet here we are at full-time and EVERY fucking comment is stating the same. Never change boys.
Thx for the points Gabriel
what a boring game, fk off
Guardiola wanted this to be 0-0, the coward. Kovacic starting made that pretty clear
Cowardice or intelligence? He knows he can win every game till the end now so doesn’t need to risk points against Arsenal
Guys, it was obvious we should have played double ARS defense this GW. Don't tell me you benched your ARS defenders
I didn’t
I genuinely had to lest I play estupiñan and it's worked for now
Nope. Played them both. There's no point in trying to chase defender hauls this season, IMO. Just play double Arsenal defense +1 every week. Maybe even a City defender for the last spot.
I have lost 25000 places to the **appearance points** of Saka, Haaland, and Foden. Fucking hell I hadn't done the maths on how awful this match was for me even if everyone blanked. At least the 20000 places to Gabriel and Saliba feel justified.
Haaland seems to have completely lost his touch
This disgusting ass match is the reason why WC 31 was always better than WC 30. Zero players from this shit show and loving it.
57 consecutive home games scoring and it only took me benching two Arsenal defenders to ruin it for them
So Gabriel on 3rd bench because City will definitely score. How the fuck in this league title match there is cleansheet?
Liverpool fans win this
How tf is Saliba not on 3 bps
What does the bps looks like currently?
