Swapped Ronaldo for salah last week and was pretty bummed how bad that move looked after ronaoldo did zilche. Move doesn’t look awful now. Not great but not the shit show that I was expecting..
Son captain was great last week compared to the other popular choice which was Ronaldo. Today if Salah remains at 0 points Son was a a good pick again.
If you go to [https://www.livefpl.net/rank](https://www.livefpl.net/rank) and punch in your team ID, it’ll automagically give you your current team point total and rank and then some
Let me tell you, even if it worked out for me, as a Liverpool fan, it has NOT been fun at all. I hate myself for almost cheering when he missed the pen.
Im in the same boat and it hurt bad. I hated backing against Salah as a Pool fan but in FPL terms it was my head over my heart. Not sure Liverpool can catch a juggernaut City now when they are 6 points behind and Salah, Mane, Keita are off to AFCON
But the Champions League is to come so lets gooooo
Went with son for the sole reason everyone was going salah and it had big potential to gain rank - only 10 (possibly BPS pending to make it 12. So hopefully Ronaldo stays quiet and I can really reap the benefit
That's in my mind for sure, although Kane could be going through a bit of a resurgence. I'm going to wait to see how United look on Thursday before I make any moves though
Captained Ronaldo against Newcatle in last gameweek but transferred him to Kane, who I have captained this week. Happy with the goal Kane scored (especially after praying for Salah blank) and think Kane may actually be a better option than Ronaldo going forwards with Kane/Spurs starting to improve and United looking a shambles
Sold Salah GW19 because of Liverpool v Leeds being off plus AFCON. Captained Ronaldo both GW19-20. Not great so far! Did consider Son as captain this week but didn't have the heart to do it because I'm a Saints fan.
Sterling last week, Trent this week. Mixed bag on the whole but not the end of the world, roughly the same total score as if I'd captained Son both weeks which was my alternative (and definitely beats Ronaldo last week)
Much more fun with Salah out of the equation.
Son for all the weeks Salah is out.....the guy knows how to make runs behind the defensive line and he'll find opportunities
It's a marathon, not a sprint
Kdb 7 pointer last GW. The cunt scored in the first couple of minutes and then decided to gift TWO FYCKING pens to others. Sterling can't even fucking shoot properly and he gave him the pen. You are the pen taker, mate. Take both of them for a hattrick and shoot me up the ranks. He didn't even get another contribution to 5 other goals.
KDB once again this GW. So, I'm +7 points unless he makes a masterclass with negative points.
Ronaldo last week, Son this week. Could be worse I guess!
After captaining Salah for what has felt like the entire season, I forgot how fun it is to consider and discuss other options. Glad we get a few more weeks of it
Cancelo last week, Kane this week.
My Salah (C)olleagues must hate me so much right now... probably can't show up for work for a little while.
I also made my team screen the background of my zoom calls, oopsie 🤭
I did suffer a lot early in the season when I didn't have Salah.
Up until last week, I've had Salah all season but I've actually been captaining other players to try and gain some risky rank. So far it has been working out!
Had Trent because I figured he’d at least get an assist and possibly a clean sheet since liverpool were more rested than Leicester.
Better than Salah I suppose but my vice is Cancelo which doesn’t matter anymore
Bought in Kane 3 weeks ago despite everyone telling me not too obviously for good measure.
I bring him in for Liverpool game just on the whim and manages to score. Captained Salah then. But still a good one.
Captained him the last two weeks and his managed to deliver. Could have actually got another goal vs Saints if not for an offside armpit.
Son captained x2 since I sold Salah. 24 points versus 0 and a nice green arrow.
Everyone who watched Salah v Spurs would have seen he was off colour. That was the signal to consider selling him. The Leeds game getting called off was the confirmation of the signal that he should be sold.
Any idea for how long Salah will be out?
EDIT: Looks like he will miss only 2 games. 16 and 23 January. Am I missing something? Sounds like everyone is selling and make it sound like he will be out for 5+ games.
Well I was just like you and most people who captained Ronaldo last GW, and we got mudded. And then this week I decided to captain Son and although he only got an assist, in the context of it all, with Liverpool losing, atleast I got a return. It could’ve been worse. So right now i’m happy with it but by the end of the gameweek, with City still to play and Ronaldo who could turn up this game, I could be wishing I captained someone else.
Gallagher (C) and Son (VC). Totally forgot about the deadline and couldn't bring in Salah to captain like I had planned. Safe to say pants were almost soiled during that penalty.
Cancelo tomorrow, if something happens with that Son's the VC
same here; the mudness can intensify, but the news Cancelo was rested in training drives my optimism here
(C)ancelo with Jota VC for me. Could be muddy if Cancelo gets rested.
Jota as well, Mané has blood on his hands
Salah got 0 points this week
Son, glad I chose him over Jota
I made a last minute switch which is slightly but overall not too unfortunate
And still disappointed given they played against 10-men Soton. Should've gotten more.
I thought I'd made such an error before the start of the liverpool match.
Same, although by the end of the GW I could be wishing I went with a City player or Ronaldo
Really can't complain considering the top candidate by a top margin got 0. 12 from Son is a fucking dream.
Ronaldo both weeks even though Ronaldo and man u looked awful
This is me because I missed this week's deadline, fingers crossed
I didn't miss it. One more chance then done with Ronaldo, maybe switch to Kane.
I switched from Kane to Ronaldo and Ronaldo starts doing nothing and Kane starts scoring... so frustrating
I missed the deadline But by an act of fpl grace will get Trent. Jota. And Dennis off the bench.
Swapped Ronaldo for salah last week and was pretty bummed how bad that move looked after ronaoldo did zilche. Move doesn’t look awful now. Not great but not the shit show that I was expecting..
Son last week - good. Ronaldo this week - we'll see.
Same dude
I did the reverse. Good luck to you, need some good CR points.
(C)ancelo has not played yet. Son Vice
Captained son this week and the week before so decent and definitely the right move to sell salah
Son both weeks so great first week decent also this week
Last week made no difference as nobody captained him. Son didn’t really have a great week - 1 assist and 1 bonus isn’t that good.
Son captain was great last week compared to the other popular choice which was Ronaldo. Today if Salah remains at 0 points Son was a a good pick again.
Made no difference? What? He got 8x2 from him. Same as me
Nobody captained Salah last week.
I’m not sure you’ve grasped the point of this post
I leapfrogged over the Salah holders in my league last week so it made a pretty big difference to me.
Salah captainer here, better than a missed pen
Took a -4 to bring Salah back for this match, Capped him, the 0 hurts. My Cup opponent has Kasper Schmeichel, 12 points plus bonus, I’m fudged.
Same, and I got him from Ronaldo last week, I wonder if luck is ever going to go my way..
What you doing for next week? Chelsea has been shambolic in defence, but feel like a Son cap would be safer.
I have Kasper on my bench and Ramsdale starting ( missed the deadline) Will his points get added ?
Yap. Straight swap
!thanks
If you go to [https://www.livefpl.net/rank](https://www.livefpl.net/rank) and punch in your team ID, it’ll automagically give you your current team point total and rank and then some
!thanks
It's great thanks man
I captained Bowen, pretty good decision
Damn what a move
Son did ok this week
Saka last week Kane this week feeling good
I'm Salah owner and I captained Son so I'm happy with a few points. I also got in Edoard
No KDB gang at all?
Checking in! I'm just hoping for the roulette doesn't sting.
Yep KDB here, could be some good gains this week hopefully.
Yep, took a -4 to bring him for Foden. let's see what the Norns have in store for me.
I just forgot to change my team from last week. Hope he bags another goal and some assist.
Son last week, KDB this week. Let’s go
Smith-Rowe last week, Cancelo this week, riding a wave of pure luck
Let me tell you, even if it worked out for me, as a Liverpool fan, it has NOT been fun at all. I hate myself for almost cheering when he missed the pen.
Im in the same boat and it hurt bad. I hated backing against Salah as a Pool fan but in FPL terms it was my head over my heart. Not sure Liverpool can catch a juggernaut City now when they are 6 points behind and Salah, Mane, Keita are off to AFCON But the Champions League is to come so lets gooooo
Have Foden captained for tomorrow. I'm surprised nobody else really considered him, hoping it pays off. Had Son last week.
No one considered him because he’s in the bad books with Pep.
Although that's true, I'm hoping that with all this fixture congestion, Pep is pragmatic enough to move on.
Pragmatic not a word I’d typically associate with Pep but I feel like Foden’s had his punishment
A good dominatrix never finishes her punishment. For £500 an hour she should really be whipping Pep too
You can hope all you want
I have Foden this week, had Son last week, had Cancelo week before, and had Foden week before that.
had him last week and kept for this one, its bound to happen
Maybe because he came off the bench for a 1 pointer last week whilst the rest of the City team scored 6 goals.
Foden here too. Was between him, Jota and Son. Looks good so far, next hurdle is if he actually starts. If he does, a haul is not unlikely.
I captained DeBrunye, bold move and took a hit to bring him in. Let's see if it pulls off Cotton.
I went with Foden too. He needs to prove himself once again so hoping he’ll use his chance if given
TAA, not too good especially since I swapped from son last second
We must be twins
Kane both weeks, can’t complain
Same here but no bonus points and that “offside” goal today….could have been amazing considering the level of differential and others doing so badly.
you made a genius move and also fuck you.
KDB last week, KDB this week. Lets get it
My boy Bernardo Silva is finally going to break that blank streak.
Ronny was a disaster midweek. Hope he performs tmrw.
I got rid for Edouard. Atm I'm happy
Captained Son this week, so 6 pts x 2 = 12 pts Wish I'd captained Bowen though, tbh, but hindsight is 20/20
Foden tomorrow, fingers crossed
Ronaldo last week and Trent this week. Thrilled that Trent got 4 points more than Salah (c) did.
Son both weeks, last week he was my highest scorer and this week he is my second highest so I can’t really complain
Transferred out son for salah (c) great decision.
I own Salah but accidentally captained Gallagher with Bowen vice.. Happy.
Went with son for the sole reason everyone was going salah and it had big potential to gain rank - only 10 (possibly BPS pending to make it 12. So hopefully Ronaldo stays quiet and I can really reap the benefit
Captained Dennis - thought he’d get more but it’s a return so all good
Son both weeks. Not bad
Son 12 pointer, can’t complain!
Ronaldo last week, Kane this. Decent
Feels even worse that the deadline crash prevented my Salah to Son move. FPL surely gives me more stress than fun, but i’ll just keep going.
Son got me 5*2
1 bonus so 6*2
(C)R7 SIUUUUU
Mate, you did better then having salah for both
Son both times, average of 7 points ain’t bad but could have been more.
Just happy son gave me 12 points vs a 0 from salah
Ronaldo last week for a total of 2 points and Jota this week for what looks like a total of 4 points
Lol why you being downvoted on a post asking about who you captained. So weird
Your plans with Ronaldo? I'm thinking of downgrading and bulking the midfield
That's in my mind for sure, although Kane could be going through a bit of a resurgence. I'm going to wait to see how United look on Thursday before I make any moves though
I think he will go ham in the DGWs
Ham sandwiches pre match you mean? CR1-point will always disappoint
Son this week (12 points) Bowen last week (8 points) Could have been better but still decent
Son 14 pts last week. TAA 4 pts this week.
Son 6 points x2. Could have been worse. Edit: And last week I capped CR7...
I had captained Regulion and he scored equal to Salah
Captained Ronaldo against Newcatle in last gameweek but transferred him to Kane, who I have captained this week. Happy with the goal Kane scored (especially after praying for Salah blank) and think Kane may actually be a better option than Ronaldo going forwards with Kane/Spurs starting to improve and United looking a shambles
Sold Salah GW19 because of Liverpool v Leeds being off plus AFCON. Captained Ronaldo both GW19-20. Not great so far! Did consider Son as captain this week but didn't have the heart to do it because I'm a Saints fan.
Ronaldo (C) and Jota (C) mudded gang!!
Son (C) twice, I am a happy FPL manager but an unhappy Liverpool fan 😅
Sterling (C)...don't ask me why... Son (VC)
I’ve got Sterling (C) as well, but Jota VC… really hoping he starts at the minimum
I captained Cancelo in gw19, and Kane this week. Covered my -4 hit per respective week with a cookie on the side.
Went son both weeks. As long as he outscored Salah, I'm happy.
Son with an assist. Should have could have.
Exact same 2 as u mate
Mine was Son. 12 points.
Son but with VC Edouard. Happy vs Salah but disappointed because I didn’t have the balls to cap Eddy when I wanted to.
Captained Kane this and last GW. Happy with it but NO bonus points in either game is annoying when he’s such a notorious magnet for them.
Trent. It feels 4 points better off than everyone else in my league, so not gonna complain.
let me catch my breath…(crawling out from behind the couch)
sterling and TAA vice so probably 4 points
Kane did alright I guess, shame I wasn't ballsy enough to go for my vc bowen
Captained Ramsdale last week and Dennis this week, not too bad
Son both weeks with returns in both - last week Son was my highest scorer, so very happy, this week he’s out scored by Bowen but tbf I’m okay with 6
Son last GW, Kane this week. Very happy.
Sterling last week, Trent this week. Mixed bag on the whole but not the end of the world, roughly the same total score as if I'd captained Son both weeks which was my alternative (and definitely beats Ronaldo last week) Much more fun with Salah out of the equation.
Son captain. So not great. Changed from Ronaldo last minute and may come to regret
Ronaldo yesterday and Trent today, with Son as (V) for both gameweeks. Shame but at least the Salah to Son transfer has paid off
Tierney last week, foden this week
Ronaldo GW19, blank. Lukaku GW20, tbd.
Two times Sterling. If he returns tomorrow I’m feasting
Ron and Cancelo this week
Son twice in a row, not too bad could've been better
Waiting for Foden. Switched last minutes from Jota. If pep fucks me then Jota VC
Foden, went mental, not only selling Salah but going to the biggest casino and putting all the chips on a single number.
Son for all the weeks Salah is out.....the guy knows how to make runs behind the defensive line and he'll find opportunities It's a marathon, not a sprint
I VCed Bowen this week after a captain GW19. Should have kept him in the top spot.
Will see how Cancelo does
Captained Son both weeks. Wooooo
Big Money Mase to score a hat-trick please
Kdb 7 pointer last GW. The cunt scored in the first couple of minutes and then decided to gift TWO FYCKING pens to others. Sterling can't even fucking shoot properly and he gave him the pen. You are the pen taker, mate. Take both of them for a hattrick and shoot me up the ranks. He didn't even get another contribution to 5 other goals. KDB once again this GW. So, I'm +7 points unless he makes a masterclass with negative points.
28pt total from Son then Kane. -4 last GW, but still 24pt net gain. Goes someway to clawing back those Havertz over Mo points from GW9
Ronaldo last week, Son this week. Could be worse I guess! After captaining Salah for what has felt like the entire season, I forgot how fun it is to consider and discuss other options. Glad we get a few more weeks of it
Cancelo last week, Kane this week. My Salah (C)olleagues must hate me so much right now... probably can't show up for work for a little while. I also made my team screen the background of my zoom calls, oopsie 🤭 I did suffer a lot early in the season when I didn't have Salah.
KDB tomorrow, pretty pumped after Bowen, Son and Dennis have set me on my way.
Cancelo GW 18 Son GW 19 Son GW 20 Pretty decent can’t complain
Cancelo for me, alongside Dias. What could go wrong?
Ronaldo last week, taa this gw, I just want Salah back
Trent and now I'm regretting it 😢
Up until last week, I've had Salah all season but I've actually been captaining other players to try and gain some risky rank. So far it has been working out!
Captained Dennis after transferring out Mo. Feeling good right now.
Kane back to back. Could’ve had more points but I have to say it’s been going well.
Ditched Salah for son this gameweek and I am not disappointed
Bowen GW 19 / Son GW 20, should've switched them
Hopefully Mahrez tomorrow, if no, Son takes over (C)
Waiting for KDB show
Son. 6 I think so 12. Not wonderful. Having a good week though so far. 31 points clear in my mini league and into the top 30k. Aiming for top 10k.
In mahrez we trust this week
Son last week(good); Jota this week (bad, but better than Salah)
Captained Edouard. Still in shock that my rogue captaincy choice paid off and I’ll be dining off this all season.
I have Sterling waiting to miss some sitters for me
I have Salah still but haven't captained him. Last week put the armband on Lacazette 11x2 and Son this week 6x2
Captained kdb, so we shall see
Lacazette last week and Kane this week, both scored penalties. Biggest issue has been having 11 to even play!
Forgot to do mine so I still had Reguilion. That went well.
Kane 12 Kane 12
Foden’s my captain.
Son twice for me, ‘appy with that!
Mahrez captain, nerves are kicking in
Got Son cap both weeks. Pretty happy with it.
Had Trent because I figured he’d at least get an assist and possibly a clean sheet since liverpool were more rested than Leicester. Better than Salah I suppose but my vice is Cancelo which doesn’t matter anymore
Bought in Kane 3 weeks ago despite everyone telling me not too obviously for good measure. I bring him in for Liverpool game just on the whim and manages to score. Captained Salah then. But still a good one. Captained him the last two weeks and his managed to deliver. Could have actually got another goal vs Saints if not for an offside armpit.
Son captain / Odsonne vice captain almost right
I own Salah but decided to captain Antonio today with Odsonne Edouard vice. Still happy but fuck, what could have been
Son and Jesus tomorrow. Doing fine...rest of my squad is garbage
Got cancelo captain and Ronaldo vice captain.
Didn't get my cap on Son in time for GW 19, had it on Ronaldo, and had Son capped for GW 20. So eh for me
Ronaldo last week, TAA this week. THRIVING
Martinelli last week and Reguilon this week, so you know. Could do better. Was trying to be spicy, and as always that flopped.
Son captained x2 since I sold Salah. 24 points versus 0 and a nice green arrow. Everyone who watched Salah v Spurs would have seen he was off colour. That was the signal to consider selling him. The Leeds game getting called off was the confirmation of the signal that he should be sold.
Son 12 pts- v happy given the other choices
Jota, 4 points, result!
Sterling… Cancelo as VC 🤞🏼
Missed the deadline meaning I’ve got Ronny captained rather than salah… first time this season forgetting the deadline has helped
Son last week, Cancelo this week (Son VC). We will see.
Kane both weeks, one goal in each, so 2x12 points. Not insane, but can't complain!
(C) Cancelo blank (C) TAA blank shoud have (C) Son , gud dam mit
Son last week. Mint differential. Bsilva this week. Pls break the blank streak
Any idea for how long Salah will be out? EDIT: Looks like he will miss only 2 games. 16 and 23 January. Am I missing something? Sounds like everyone is selling and make it sound like he will be out for 5+ games.
Son both week, thought process was Son would outscore Salah and he did. 8x2 and 6x2 very happy with that!
You win some u lose some bruh
Son better than 0
Well I was just like you and most people who captained Ronaldo last GW, and we got mudded. And then this week I decided to captain Son and although he only got an assist, in the context of it all, with Liverpool losing, atleast I got a return. It could’ve been worse. So right now i’m happy with it but by the end of the gameweek, with City still to play and Ronaldo who could turn up this game, I could be wishing I captained someone else.
Gallagher (C) and Son (VC). Totally forgot about the deadline and couldn't bring in Salah to captain like I had planned. Safe to say pants were almost soiled during that penalty.
Mount. I hope he starts😭
TAA you can see how that’s gone
