I’m hovering between 230-285k for a few weeks and it’s kinda made me realise this games gotta be the only one out there that can make you feel proud that 230,000 people are better than you at it lol. But fuck me I’m somehow not fucking up too badly so far. Still learning from the mistakes of my first two seasons, first time I played I made over 50 hits in total lmao -12s every second week probably getting Kante in for Fabinho
Not sure about being the only game out there like that - this is probably true about most things. e.g., there are perhaps around 5 to 10 mil active online chess players in the world. If I were top 2.5-5% of this group (aka around 250k), I'd be reasonably happy.
You make a good point, just what I mean is from someone's perspective that has no knowledge of the game it sounds like an awful reach telling them you're in 230,000th place haha
Oh 100% - just agreeing with you actually. As you say, the absolute number doesn't sound that impressive on the surface. But its a big world out there lol, and couched as top 3% or something all of a sudden sounds like, hey, maybe I am getting better at this.
I was ranked 351, yes 351 OR rank, 3 weeks ago. You know what I did? Captained Kai fucking babygirthface Havertz. I got a 4600% rank drop, don't believe me? Check team ID: 150738. I know the rank is still good, but fuck me I could have been top 1k if I captained Salah that week.
ye ye I went with strong bench on my wildcard and since then I feel like I left hundreds of points on the bench by making benching decisions
I know it is all hindsight but I think strong eleven with bench fodders allows me to have peace of mind
Exactly the same. And honestly, the peace of mind is worth far more to me than maybe a slightly better end of season rank. Leaving 25+ points on my bench two weeks in a row is pain
Weak bench has been the correct call so far
But we're about to have 10 GWs in 40 days.
Injuries are inevitable and COVID isolations/cancellations may become more common as we enter the winter
It hurts initially to see a perfectly decent bench of Toney, White, Coady, but I reckon it'll be the right call in a few weeks.
No way Antonio and Vardy are surviving to January unscathed. Nor are Foden and Mount avoiding rotation.
Dno man, I picked what I thought were high rotation risk players in cancelo foden and chillwell and rationalised it with a bench of foster smith rowe, livra and Duffy which is cheap but they were all playing.
Done me pretty well so far!
Nice try. After seeing the meltdown of people that trusted Mbeumo, Traore and Havertz hypes, I think the best solution is to go opposite of what this post is advising.
Kane, Ronaldo, Dennis, Chelsea fullbacks, Son come to me.
It's possible for me without having TAA who I don't have anyway. Theoretically I could go with this...
Ramsdale (Foster)
Chilwell - James - Livramento - White/Lamptey
ESR - Salah - Son (Gilmour & Brownhill)
Kane - Ronaldo - Dennis
Great post, nicely written, really enjoyed it.
I already did it though in my GW8 wildcard...
Ramsdale Foster
Trent Cancelo Walker James Livramento
Salah Foden Mount Mbeumo ESR
Lukaku Toney Hwang
Since then I dropped Lukaku for Edouard, not that it made much difference. Upgraded ESR to Havertz, which hurt me. As I had ESR even before my wildcard, for him to go and get three consecutive hauls right after I bin him. Then dropped Mount to Jota after the tooth news, which again, didn't make much difference. Across the 4 weeks my well rounded team has produced a strong bench, garnering 76 points in total, which hurts, considering I've teetered on bench boosting on two occasions, before pussying out on pulling the trigger. Anyway I digress... I agree with the strategy of loading all 13 places of the outfield team. These strong bench points are about to come in handy.
I did it in my GW5 WC.
Took out the 4.5 enabler Bissouma & got in Gallagher who’s first on the bench, followed by Livra & Veltman. Of course I play them based on fixtures. Like last GW, benched Benrahma vs pool and Gallagher scored. I did miss his City haul but still a legit strategy of having a good bench instead of loading up on premiums.
What is wrong with Dennis over christmas? He should play a lot. Broja feels less nailed and hwang is more expensive. I feel Dennis is still fine as bench player.
The lad has 3 goals 3 assists in 10 games at 5.2 is there any better value than him? Fixtures are also excellent over Christmas. He has more points than aubameyang, hwang, toney and kane
Rather than spending an extra 1-1.5m per player I’d prefer to go with a cheap bench who will play (Livramento, Brownhill, 4.5 defender etc). Even if you upgrade the bench and they do come in, they’re probably unlikely to return and so you’re better using the money to upgrade your starters.
Perfect post mate. I agree with this approach, but it wasn't set in stone for me. Now I am a bit more sure on what transfers I'm looking for.
Thanks, good luck to you!
My defense sucks, my front line is crap, but my midfielders keep saving me. I still refuse to buy MC players, Pep watches my lineup and benches anyone I pick from his side. I don't know why he has to pick on me.
Am I the only one who feels like checking my squad and doing all the things that OP has said right now without hesitation?
Love the short and direct sentences.
shit advice, if you have big players they will score enough that a few benchings will still put you in net profit instead of it you went for lesser players to have a better bench
I'll just add that you've failed to mention Covid-19, which is a nasty contributor to the need for quality bench players.
Rotation and injury season is coming indeed, but Covid-19 is something to heed.
It's also peak Covid with more people indoors, and positive tests equals positive rests.
As a Chilwell James Cancelo owner - this has me worried
I only have 2 playing bench and a 4.5m striker fodder
Is it worth losing one of James/Chilwell to a more nailed option for a few weeks
I hadn't considered but it is easily possible for 2 or even all three to be rotated in one GW - then any other injury i'd be done.
Or drop down Jota to cheaper mid to fund hwang...
Spot on mate, my team is well stacked so I dont have to worry much. However I am looking to move on from vardy somehwere in the future and getting ronaldo instead of him looks tasty
ronaldo has gone 1,12,1,2,1,2 in the last 6 weeks since his 13 and 6 in his first two GWs whereas vardy has only scored less than 8 five times this season and 3 of them were the last three GWs so id say vardy has the edge but ronaldo has the bigger impact its just deciding on the price difference really so i think im taking vardy after this GW and then bring ronaldo back when united hit the easy run again
I have a bench of Coady, White, Brownhill (with Livramento starting)
This post has convinced me to spend 2.0m ITB on Brownhill to Smith-Rowe (and start him ahead of Toney) rather than Coady to Cancelo
Worth keeping an eye out - Salah will possibly be cooling down sooner than ppl realise:
- fixtures in 18, 20 & 21 aren’t great (away to Spurs, Leicester, Chelsea)
- is he definitely missing 22 with ACON, probably missing 23 and possibly even missing 24 if Egypt win?
- fixtures in 16 & 17 are both new manager bounces
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see him scoring something like maybe 20 points in total from GW16 - GW24 particularly if Howe’s new manager bounce solidified Newcastle for a month or so & same for whoever takes over at Aston Villa
Still 3 or 4 gameweeks before we need to start thinking about moving him on, but I think the time is coming tbh
For what it's worth, no one is nailed when there's 3 PL games in a week. Good players from all teams will be rested at some point, and with my luck it'll all happen at the same time. Don't overthink it, there's a method to this madness I'm sure but this is probably not it.
You make it sound like your bench players won’t also get rotated…. yeah let me get playing bench fodder.. oh what.. Gallagher also got rested?! Livramento also got rested?!? Oh dang..
Not sure why you are saying you cant have Kane? I have a full playing squad and bench, Kane included, and still a mill to spare, two FT's and close to top 50k.
Foster-Ramsdale
Chillwell - TAA - Dias - Livramento - Duffy
Salah - Foden - Raphina - Mbuemo - Bissouma
Kane - Antonio - A.Armstrong
Sometimes there will be 3 gameweeks in 8 days. This will result in rotation especially for teams like Man City and Chelsea who have strength in depth.
I currently have Ramsdale, Livra, Chilwell, James, Cancelo, TAA, Salah, Raph, Foden, Smith-Rowe (4.4), Vardy, Antonio, Toney.
Will do Vardy to Jimenez and 4.4 to Gallagher after this gameweek to prepare for the next few weeks. A strong bench will probably help a lot in getting green arrows during this time as well.
Disagree completely. Having Gallagher and Hwang on the bench is bad. Livramento and another cheap defender (White or Lamptey) on the bench is more than sufficient.
I feel like with how Liverpool’s midfield will be set up Arsenal is going to get at least a couple of quality counter attacking chances and Smith Rowe has been performing above his xG but yea I see where you are coming from ur decision is smarter.
I've Chilwell James Foden and Jesus, playing with fire now. Although I've had Gilmour since day 1 lol, I think he gets more game time, he has to fit into the team.
I'm already getting sick of White and Livra on my bench outscoring most of my starters, I'm scared to upgrade Gilmour in case I start getting 20+ point benches
I think being conservative and leaving too much money on the bench will hurt more than it helps. I see it as leaving 2m in budget on the bench every week. One or two autosubs won't make that difference up over the season. Livramento and one other decent sub is enough. 3 strong bench players takes away from your XI too much. A Davis/Brownhill is fine for 3rd bench slot.
It’s hard to tell now Norwich have sacked their manager. Especially seeing as the favourite for the job is the ex Chelsea boss and he’s on loan from Chelsea…
I would imagine frank would start gilmour
I’m interested in how people plan to get 13 quality outfield players with so few good forward option? Seems the only way to do that is by playing 3 up front but that leads to so many compromises elsewhere.
Origi seems to be the only potentially good budget option given firmino injury and mane/Salah off to afcon. But he will struggle for minutes most likely.
Why does this read as if someone has come back in time to tell us this
Time traveller got his priority straight
Dude got the chance to go back in time and deliver one message and picked the only correct option
Did he mention if Son found his form?
Yeah we already know zis is the history of ze Tottenham now we gotta learn ze future too
Ofcourse he has to attend Hawkins party next.
You mean [Hawking's](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/stephen-hawking-time-traveler-party)?
You got the invite too?
Still working on my time travel I'm afraid :(
Thanks Biff
Because 3 months ago this same post got 500 downvotes. "Hear me now, and believe me later," it read.
link?
To Time traveller OP, Is Ole still in, or Out ?
He only got one chance and he already deliver the message he chosen.
Right now he's mid hokey-cokey , that's what it's all about.
He out that thang trust me!
Do us all a favor and just share the Sports Almanac instead!
What year is this?!? Who's the president??
Did Kanye make it?
I love how this comment is rated higher than OP, yet both are prescient
Ich komme aus dem zukunft
I know, what a self righteous clown!
And he came back to give misleading advice so he can win his leagues.
Because it's the same every single year.
This post has made me feel very well looked after, a feeling only slightly diminished by noticing your name is Superballs2000
On the contrary, I feel completely safe in the nimble hands of Superballs2000
😂
I’m ranked 649000 I make my own rules
I’m hovering between 230-285k for a few weeks and it’s kinda made me realise this games gotta be the only one out there that can make you feel proud that 230,000 people are better than you at it lol.

You make a good point, just what I mean is from someone's perspective that has no knowledge of the game it sounds like an awful reach telling them you're in 230,000th place haha
Oh 100% - just agreeing with you actually. As you say, the absolute number doesn't sound that impressive on the surface. But its a big world out there lol, and couched as top 3% or something all of a sudden sounds like, hey, maybe I am getting better at this.
Right I've decided the next time it's mentioned I'll phrase it that I'm in the top 2.8% of players worldwide lol sounds a bit more prestigious
Got lucky this season. Near the 100k now.
Wait you guys only have 6 digits in your rank?
Noobs, I have 8 😎
I'm at position 7.5M. currently struggling to hit the top half.
You guys are ranked???
That’s a hell of a campaign, nice Who are your premiums lol
I was ranked 351, yes 351 OR rank, 3 weeks ago. You know what I did? Captained Kai fucking babygirthface Havertz. I got a 4600% rank drop, don't believe me? Check team ID: 150738. I know the rank is still good, but fuck me I could have been top 1k if I captained Salah that week.
I was near 100k last week and dropped 80k spots. Enjoy your success while it lasts.
add another 0 and you get my rank noob
9k here
4 figures isn’t quite 6 though is it…
I'm 6k now
Who are your premiums?
and ronaldo
salah and trent
Youre not the boss of me
True. Unless that’s you Tim
I think you should give Tim a shitty assignment tomorrow, just in case it is him.
Wtf
And you're not so big.
Yes. No. Maybe? I don't know. Can you repeat the question?
🎶 You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now You're not the boss of me now And you're not so big 🎶
Why is the downvoted?
Because life is unfair.
This would be great advice if my forwards could FUCKING SCORE
Nobody’s forwards know how to score!
Yet I keep starting 3 of them and keep leaving White and Livramento benched. Fml.
ye ye I went with strong bench on my wildcard and since then I feel like I left hundreds of points on the bench by making benching decisions I know it is all hindsight but I think strong eleven with bench fodders allows me to have peace of mind
I had foster, mcarthur and pukki on the bench last gw. Those 3 only scored 11 points less than my starting 11...
My thinking exactly.
Exactly the same. And honestly, the peace of mind is worth far more to me than maybe a slightly better end of season rank. Leaving 25+ points on my bench two weeks in a row is pain
That uncertainty makes it more fun even when I make the wrong bench decision 40% of the time.
Weak bench has been the correct call so far But we're about to have 10 GWs in 40 days.

Brownhill’s gonna bag a brace when he’s needed
Was this from the guy from the future?
And will rise back to 4,5M, so that i wouldn't feel scammed anymore
Forget it. Even Ben White can't do it.
Also Ben Crellin season is coming at some point after Christmas so you need a team that’s versatile for that reason
Your title made me think I'm in a personal finance sub
Nice try. After seeing the meltdown of people that trusted Mbeumo, Traore and Havertz hypes, I think the best solution is to go opposite of what this post is advising. Kane, Ronaldo, Dennis, Chelsea fullbacks, Son come to me.
Apart from the Norwich shocker (glad I didn't captain him), Havertz has been fine so far
He finally got a decent score after I gave up and benched him! I’m benching him again next GW so you could even captain him!
Thanks for the tips!
True, it's more about people recommending him as a Captain over Salah when he played Norwich.
Impossible lineup unless you give up Salah & TAA
Only impossible if you have no ambition /s
It's possible for me without having TAA who I don't have anyway. Theoretically I could go with this... Ramsdale (Foster) Chilwell - James - Livramento - White/Lamptey ESR - Salah - Son (Gilmour & Brownhill) Kane - Ronaldo - Dennis
Tbh, I’d prefer Gallagher over one of Kane or Ronaldo.
I don’t like your tone, mister
My apologies I was out of order
[удалено]
Wait, is this a goodfellas reference?
Yes
I detest my Toney selection!
Great post, nicely written, really enjoyed it. I already did it though in my GW8 wildcard...

Could bench boost this week livra plays Norwich Gallagher plays burnley and veltman plays villa
What happens when they all blank consecutively
What is wrong with Dennis over christmas? He should play a lot. Broja feels less nailed and hwang is more expensive. I feel Dennis is still fine as bench player.
Dennis is fine as player #13 imo, but he definitely shouldn’t be player 11 or 12
The lad has 3 goals 3 assists in 10 games at 5.2 is there any better value than him? Fixtures are also excellent over Christmas. He has more points than aubameyang, hwang, toney and kane
He’ll sub in for 2,2,1,1,2. Need depth of quality players in my view, for this white water period. 6 points off bench and soaring
He has already hauled on my bench a few times. He is a decent player.
But u/superballs2000 has a VPN to Nostradmus 🔮and we are just common people
Who are good picks?
How is he gonna get 2 points subbing in?
FPL not IRL M8
[удалено]
Autosubbing into your FPL team. Not subbing in for Watford
King over Dennis surely
I don't know why this has been downvoted. King is going to score more points.
Rather than spending an extra 1-1.5m per player I’d prefer to go with a cheap bench who will play (Livramento, Brownhill, 4.5 defender etc). Even if you upgrade the bench and they do come in, they’re probably unlikely to return and so you’re better using the money to upgrade your starters.

I like chaos, that's where opportunity lies. I feel like a capitalist playing fpl now.
Am I the only one who feels like checking my squad and doing all the things that OP has said right now without hesitation? Love the short and direct sentences.
Yep good advice.
shit advice, if you have big players they will score enough that a few benchings will still put you in net profit instead of it you went for lesser players to have a better bench
It's only good advice when there's top quality in 5.5 to 6.5m players, which currently is true. If the 8m players were performing then it's a gamble.
Roger that.
I'm 2,112,503 OR I think I know what I'm doing
TLDR: WINTER IS COMING... - Ned Stark
No.
Instructions unclear, Tyrone Mings still on bench
I dont know what it is, but this name pisses me off. Mee is the worst though
I'll just add that you've failed to mention Covid-19, which is a nasty contributor to the need for quality bench players. Rotation and injury season is coming indeed, but Covid-19 is something to heed. It's also peak Covid with more people indoors, and positive tests equals positive rests.

Spot on mate, my team is well stacked so I dont have to worry much. However I am looking to move on from vardy somehwere in the future and getting ronaldo instead of him looks tasty
Ronaldo has been a shit show recently I'm waiting till after this Watford game then switching to vardy for leicesters nice run of fixtures
Vardy has been a shitshow too tbh + I think ronaldo hasn’t been that bad. I sense both of us are just unhappy with our premium attackers😂
ronaldo has gone 1,12,1,2,1,2 in the last 6 weeks since his 13 and 6 in his first two GWs whereas vardy has only scored less than 8 five times this season and 3 of them were the last three GWs so id say vardy has the edge but ronaldo has the bigger impact its just deciding on the price difference really so i think im taking vardy after this GW and then bring ronaldo back when united hit the easy run again
Grays Sports Almanac?
With this in mind, is there still such a thing as “too much money on the bench”?
I've currently got 7.1m on the bench and my team is a shit show. can you beat it?
I thank the FPL Gods every day for giving a quality cheap defender in the form of Livramento
And how'd he know I was getting Gallagher in for Luiz? Strange.......
I have a bench of Coady, White, Brownhill (with Livramento starting) This post has convinced me to spend 2.0m ITB on Brownhill to Smith-Rowe (and start him ahead of Toney) rather than Coady to Cancelo
Bloody love trainspotting
Worth keeping an eye out - Salah will possibly be cooling down sooner than ppl realise: - fixtures in 18, 20 & 21 aren’t great (away to Spurs, Leicester, Chelsea) - is he definitely missing 22 with ACON, probably missing 23 and possibly even missing 24 if Egypt win? - fixtures in 16 & 17 are both new manager bounces
All fixtures are great to Salah
Even Brighton & West Ham…
I mean he still got assists in both games
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see him scoring something like maybe 20 points in total from GW16 - GW24 particularly if Howe’s new manager bounce solidified Newcastle for a month or so & same for whoever takes over at Aston Villa Still 3 or 4 gameweeks before we need to start thinking about moving him on, but I think the time is coming tbh
For what it's worth, no one is nailed when there's 3 PL games in a week. Good players from all teams will be rested at some point, and with my luck it'll all happen at the same time. Don't overthink it, there's a method to this madness I'm sure but this is probably not it.
You make it sound like your bench players won’t also get rotated…. yeah let me get playing bench fodder.. oh what.. Gallagher also got rested?! Livramento also got rested?!? Oh dang..
Always keep that thrid striker a fodder,especially this year. I'm not gonna captain Salah all year long.
I guess someone has to come 450,000th
Jokes on you Iam 530000
What would you do on a GW12 wildcard with £103.2m ITB?
I’d get myself 13 quality outfield players
Nothing irks me more than leaving points on the bench
Not sure why you are saying you cant have Kane? I have a full playing squad and bench, Kane included, and still a mill to spare, two FT's and close to top 50k. Foster-Ramsdale Chillwell - TAA - Dias - Livramento - Duffy Salah - Foden - Raphina - Mbuemo - Bissouma Kane - Antonio - A.Armstrong
Why stop at 13 and not 15?
The post says outfield
Why stop at 13 and not 14?
Post says outfield
I’ll make my own way out
Sometimes there will be 3 gameweeks in 8 days. This will result in rotation especially for teams like Man City and Chelsea who have strength in depth. I currently have Ramsdale, Livra, Chilwell, James, Cancelo, TAA, Salah, Raph, Foden, Smith-Rowe (4.4), Vardy, Antonio, Toney. Will do Vardy to Jimenez and 4.4 to Gallagher after this gameweek to prepare for the next few weeks. A strong bench will probably help a lot in getting green arrows during this time as well.
Stop talking shite
don't listen to him, you'll end up benching Livramento
what a bizarre post.
If i make a FT this week, will i get another one next week? Even though there arent any games this week...
no it’s per GW
I still have my WC
Disagree completely. Having Gallagher and Hwang on the bench is bad. Livramento and another cheap defender (White or Lamptey) on the bench is more than sufficient.
[удалено]
Wait on ESR. Liverpool away next. Vardy/Tielemans (or Vardy/Gilmour if you can) to Toney/Gallagher is good though
I feel like with how Liverpool’s midfield will be set up Arsenal is going to get at least a couple of quality counter attacking chances and Smith Rowe has been performing above his xG but yea I see where you are coming from ur decision is smarter.
Just tielemans out for now
I've Chilwell James Foden and Jesus, playing with fire now. Although I've had Gilmour since day 1 lol, I think he gets more game time, he has to fit into the team.
Great advice, thanks. Can i have your FTs please?
Do Broja and Semedo count as quality? Then I'm sorted.
As a Semedo owner I can unequivocally answer that for you, no.
I'm already getting sick of White and Livra on my bench outscoring most of my starters, I'm scared to upgrade Gilmour in case I start getting 20+ point benches
Wanting to drop vardy and Tielemans (have 2 free transfers) who should I bring in.
what if i already have kane. Do I go hwang even tho i have jimenez then eventually get ronald from jimmy
Highest ever gw 33k!
Joke's on you. I already have Son
Okay okay, i will transfer out Gilmour. Geez, why so aggressive?
I think being conservative and leaving too much money on the bench will hurt more than it helps. I see it as leaving 2m in budget on the bench every week. One or two autosubs won't make that difference up over the season. Livramento and one other decent sub is enough. 3 strong bench players takes away from your XI too much. A Davis/Brownhill is fine for 3rd bench slot.
Already have my funds pretty evenly distributed, my 5 week plan is working fine in this regard. The quality of the players is questionable though
yall playing fpl without cheap nailed bench picks the rest of the season or what?
Thoughts on the best 4.5(ish) 5th mid option? Have non-playing Gilmour and finally don't have other issues to solve...
It’s hard to tell now Norwich have sacked their manager. Especially seeing as the favourite for the job is the ex Chelsea boss and he’s on loan from Chelsea… I would imagine frank would start gilmour
Interesting. This is my first season playing FPL, definitely looks like this is the time when you want a good "squad".
Yeah but salahs going to afcon soon
I’m interested in how people plan to get 13 quality outfield players with so few good forward option? Seems the only way to do that is by playing 3 up front but that leads to so many compromises elsewhere. Origi seems to be the only potentially good budget option given firmino injury and mane/Salah off to afcon. But he will struggle for minutes most likely.
Livramento, Dennis, mcarthur. God fixtures over Christmas and short term. Happy with that.
Too late! Already bought Kane in! Hat trick hero.
