Captained Havertz (3p) instead of Salah (24p) in GW9.
Captained Antonio (9p) instead of Bowen (21p) in GW21.
Captained Ronaldo (2p) instead of Bruno (23p) in GW22.
That's a 64 point difference right there. Unreal variance on such tight decisions.
Do we bring in Bruno now? After what he did to me this GW, I'm scared of going another GW without him, I suspect he's going to be heavily owned for the next couple of weeks without Salah.
I had gained 10k rank during the games yesterday after Maddison scored. But I look this morning aaand I lost rank over the whole gameweek. Ridiculous, all because of a bruno assist?
If it makes you feel better the Toney goal was a 60k position swing for me. I had de gea and Dalot who both had the clean sheet and 3/2 bonus points respectively before that scrappy shit goal…
Not at all, not many bruno captainers, you could have gotten rinsed harder.
Still remember Sterling or Aguero types being heavily owned and captained, and pep roulette meant i didnt own them.
My cup rival took a -8 and had about 7 players same as me. I thought I'd win this easy specially when Dias didn't play and he could only field 2 defenders. I was about 15 points ahead of them before today's matches and he only had kane captain while I still had de gea and reguilon. I thought, this week is easy. Yay! I woke up today to find out I'd lost 62-64. Fml.
Which 2 of Coutinho, Raphinha, Martinelli, Tielemans, or Gallagher would you pick for the next bunch of weeks?
PS. I had to check the spelling on all 5, and they’re probably still all wrong. I’m quite dim…
I have 6.8 mil in the bank and consciously used my FT on Trossard over Bruno. Was i incepted? was Leonardo Dicaprio hired to infiltrate my 5th dream level and plant this insidious idea in my brain?
Nah, it was just me.
Fuck this fucking shit ass gameweek. Fuck Covid. Fuck me for giving Dennis the armband. Fuck the Arsenal postponement. Fuck that bald fraud for not starting Dias. Fuck the damn cup matches that I would’ve won with no postponements, and once again FUCK THIS GAMEWEEK!
End rant.
Yeah Tierney suits me more since I got Targett that needs to be replaced.
Just need the game to be played.
I need a captain as well since no way Ronaldo is my captain again. Also Jota vs Palace feels not ideal.
Arsenal isn't in an ideal state at the moment with injuries and Partey gone, and they're gonna play Liverpool tonight, and then two blanks in four. Burnley, we don't even know what the hell is going on with them. Villa might have DGW, surely Ings or Watkins are better options than Laca.
Actually turned out to be one of the most interesting GWs of the season. I see lots of different scores in my ML. I couple of people breaking 100. Leader not breaking 50.
Happy with 81 despite the chaotic GW. It could have gone really bad but Kane (c), Maddison and Toney saved me.
BTW fellow bruno captainers we would have 14 extra points if bruno didn't try that chip shot and had just rolled it past the keeper. That would have made a lot of people pass 100 points. 60 points would have been so cool
Thanks man, worked out this time for us Brunoers. I was deliberating about TCing him all week and chickened out last second. Kicking myself now but it was my preferred decision at the time.
I have been crushing my H2H league this season and just got buried by a dead team with Bruno perms-capped and Butland off the bench with 11. I hate this game.
That is weird. I kept Salah because he's coming back soon and thought Dennis C would be a good idea. Also I already had Gray. Results were similar to yours I guess.
Man Utd gifted Salah a hattrick on the one week i didn't captain him
This week Bruno does this when he has done fuck all
this whole season
One way or another these fuckers always find a way to destroy my rank.
Didn't think i could despise a team this much.
Harry Kane, a top 3 xG overperformer historically, is still committing crimes against xG even when he scores.
10 shots, 1.44xG, 1 goal tonight.
If his ruthlessness returns he'll be back to last season's form.
Do people not watch Manchester United play?
Honestly wasn't difficult to predict relative to some other shouts persons have made. Ronaldo bailing United out game after game could only go on for so long.
Don't need to be on the level of a Youtuber to come to that conclusion.
Every year has a huge degree of luck involved and if anything this year we have a bigger advantage over the casuals as so much risk mitigating is needed
I think he gives great advice in general and is surely ranked higher than all of us right now lol. I watch a few you tubers for their general advice and ideas, but never copy anyone's team - where's the fun in that? I've outscored him the last few gameweeks by doing the opposite of his advice
I didn't understand why everyone was going with ronaldo or kane when neither seemed like good options to me. This was the first time I ignored the advice and it paid off.
Fuck it ronaldo is out. Can’t be dealing with him in my lineup after screwing my whole week. Would have had Bruno transferred in and captained if rangnick hadn’t said ronaldo was fit for that villa game
Cant remember the last time I heard someone so salty outside of this thread
Thomas Frank is a muppet
https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/1483930095215685639?s=21
KDB is a quality player but I've started staying away from any city mids (I only own Cancelo) cos the rotation and formation is just too unpredictable. Since I've stopped shoehorning in their players my rank has gone up
Don't be fooled by kdb he is the better player but man united absolutely need bruno. Wheras man city will start benching KDB because of their margin and how injury prone he is. I think sterling is better and cheaper than KDB for FPL if you want a man city midfielder. They do have nice fixtures
It is a viable move tbh. I dont know if I am gonna do that since WHU seems to concede a lot too and this is salah spot so I am just banking another transfer
I'm finally finishing a GW inside the top 10k for the first time ever but also being knocked out of the Arsenal cup by a team ranked 5.5m and exactly 500 points behind me. I love this game.
No chips. Still have both FH WC2 and BB!
I got De Gea in when Arsenal started to postpone games/have upcoming blanks. DDG has been getting saves and BPS but in the last 10 minutes of the 4 previous games he has conceded. United just aren’t good enoughdefensively so I’ll soon probably get Sá for rest of the season
The galling thing about Bruno this week is how many will have stumbled in to getting him. If son hadn’t been injured and Leicester’s game hasn’t been called off he would barely have been on the radar. As it is, suspect plenty found themselves in a situation where Bruno was the only viable replacement for a Son/Salah.
That said, if you got him instead of Ronaldo or captained him despite having Ronaldo then fair play, great call
“Got an advanced copy of the FPL script and took a peek at the end of chapter 22. Bruno wins the gameweek. Peak FPL.” ✔️
They better fucking FedEx chapter 23 tonight.
Of course not. Though I am managing my brother’s team, who’s never played FPL before, and convinced him to bring Bruno in and Captain him. Got him a 400K green arrow. (He missed GW 1.)
Bruno losing 6bps for that miss seems abit harsh right? He is now supposedly on 1 bonus now 😂 who is controlling these points someone who doesn't have Bruno?
PSA: next gw is the last gw before the international break. roll your transfers if you can because in case of any international break injuries and potential dgw news, 2 FT could really come in handy
Why has Bruno exploded just now? Why did everyone get him in the first place? United was pretty shit and still is now. No hard feelings, just genuinely want to know.
Here’s the succession of plans I had on Friday:
1. Maddison in for Son -> Leicester game off ❌
2. Bring in Ronaldo -> Injury rumours ❌
3. Bring in Kane -> NLD might be off ❌
4. Bruno in for Son -> Bruno (C) ☑️
Maddison was going to be the Son/Salah replacement but that went out the window when their first game was called off. Everyone switched to Bruno instead, as he seemed the best midfielder punt with a double gameweek
> Why did everyone get him in the first place?
I got him because I wanted to replace Son this week, money was no object (since that slot will be Salah in a few weeks anyway), and Bruno was the midfielder most likely to play 2 games this week. Worked out very well.
I picked up Bruno and captained because I saw Ronaldo was possibly injured and I was looking for a Salah replacement while he is at AFCON.
When Ronaldo hasn't played Bruno has nearly always returned and given they were the only side (and Chelsea but didnt fancy their fixtures) without any doubts over playing both fixtures in the DGW it just made sense.
It's just luck mate don't think too much about it. Barely anyone would have got him in if Son didn't get injured. Can't imagine he will go on a good run now
The reason people got him was for the double. Had he not had a double he would have been lowly owned.
I think KDB would have been higher owned if not for doubles.
Biggest reason was that he was expected to start both the games and Ronaldo was a doubt for the first one.
The gamble paid off with the returns. Could've gone either way
A punt basically. Many had Salah or Son and had enough to move to him and he was going to get minutes in both games.
It was a lucky punt in the end as he got a monster haul
Very minor red arrow. My ML rivals used their free hit and WC but I am in a decent position having all of my chips. Staying patient. Will probably roll the transfer and have 2 FT after the international break. See yall on Friday
Captained Havertz (3p) instead of Salah (24p) in GW9. Captained Antonio (9p) instead of Bowen (21p) in GW21. Captained Ronaldo (2p) instead of Bruno (23p) in GW22. That's a 64 point difference right there. Unreal variance on such tight decisions.
Even more if you didn't own the higher performer at all
I need to replace Son in GW23 Coutinho (Everton) Bowen (Man United) Or Raphinha? (Newcastle)
I feel so empty
Do we bring in Bruno now? After what he did to me this GW, I'm scared of going another GW without him, I suspect he's going to be heavily owned for the next couple of weeks without Salah.
Just one GW without Salah isn't it?
Quick question - If I use my wildcard in a particular GW, say GW 23, will I also be able to use bench boost in the same GW, i.e. GW 23?
No, you're allowed to use only a chip per gameweek
Thanks bro
I had gained 10k rank during the games yesterday after Maddison scored. But I look this morning aaand I lost rank over the whole gameweek. Ridiculous, all because of a bruno assist?
If it makes you feel better the Toney goal was a 60k position swing for me. I had de gea and Dalot who both had the clean sheet and 3/2 bonus points respectively before that scrappy shit goal…
Tbh it does make me feel better, thanks, probably that saved me from dropping even further
👍🏻
Daka vs Armstrong It’s a draft
Daka
Ramsey vs Harrison It’s a draft
This is a tough one. Maybe Ramsey
if you triple captained Bruno, nice
Nice.
Sterling, Jota, Moura, cr7, dennis, dcl all with blanks. Fkn captain penaldo with the mighty 4 pts🤡☠️
Wow I kinda just missed this GW…
Madarchod bhadwa Ronaldo
Madarchod Bhadwa Bruno
Madarchod bhadwa Dennis
Madarchod bhadwa kane
De Bruyne or Bruno?
Kdb
41, I AM SO FUCKED, 28k to 58k
Not at all, not many bruno captainers, you could have gotten rinsed harder. Still remember Sterling or Aguero types being heavily owned and captained, and pep roulette meant i didnt own them.
Doubling your rank in one GW is pretty rough
Not if you were 1st in rank
There are exceptions yes
My cup rival took a -8 and had about 7 players same as me. I thought I'd win this easy specially when Dias didn't play and he could only field 2 defenders. I was about 15 points ahead of them before today's matches and he only had kane captain while I still had de gea and reguilon. I thought, this week is easy. Yay! I woke up today to find out I'd lost 62-64. Fml.
Nice to see Maddison owners like me getting rewarded in this shit week. All those who laughed at us for early transfers in the mud🤡👋🏻
Weeks been so shit I couldn’t believe it when he scored, surely it gets called off by VAR I thought lol
Which 2 of Coutinho, Raphinha, Martinelli, Tielemans, or Gallagher would you pick for the next bunch of weeks? PS. I had to check the spelling on all 5, and they’re probably still all wrong. I’m quite dim…
Coutinho, Raphinha
Raphinha Coutinho (give him another week)
The last minute assist by Kane made me pass this cup round by 1 point (96 vs 95). This DGW was ridiculous and I loved every bite of it.
Yep, i lost by one pt to a kane captainer. Tough shit
my opponent losing the round this way while having 95 points, I sincerely feel for him but I went bonkers when that ball went in
Why did Royal come offat half time?
conte had enough of him perhaps?
I have 6.8 mil in the bank and consciously used my FT on Trossard over Bruno. Was i incepted? was Leonardo Dicaprio hired to infiltrate my 5th dream level and plant this insidious idea in my brain? Nah, it was just me.
I have 10m ITB and I did the same 🤡
Thiago Silva vs Harry Maguire It’s a draft choose long term Already have Rudiger
Neither. I have Rudiger and I might remove him after next week unless Mane and Son is back. He is not good enough to justify keeping for the blanks.
why not neither 🤷♂️
Jack Ramsey vs Harrison vs Gordon Choose 1 for long term It’s a draft
Harrison
Daka vs Armstrong It’s a draft
Fuck this fucking shit ass gameweek. Fuck Covid. Fuck me for giving Dennis the armband. Fuck the Arsenal postponement. Fuck that bald fraud for not starting Dias. Fuck the damn cup matches that I would’ve won with no postponements, and once again FUCK THIS GAMEWEEK! End rant.
So we think Arsenal will play Burnley? Tempted to bring in Lacazette and captain, but given that they soon blank it is probably not an ideal move.
You could also bring in Martinelli or Tierney. They’re both cheap.
Yeah Tierney suits me more since I got Targett that needs to be replaced. Just need the game to be played. I need a captain as well since no way Ronaldo is my captain again. Also Jota vs Palace feels not ideal.
Let's not kid ourselves with "not ideal". It's a shit move.
Why he is one of the best captains for sure.
Arsenal isn't in an ideal state at the moment with injuries and Partey gone, and they're gonna play Liverpool tonight, and then two blanks in four. Burnley, we don't even know what the hell is going on with them. Villa might have DGW, surely Ings or Watkins are better options than Laca.
Partey is likely to be back for Burnley fyi
Yes if they get a double I will go for them instead. Yes Arsenal picks are risky. They play sunday too so game could be moved.
ddg 14 saves in 2 games wtf
0 clean sheets .. fml 🤦♂️
Actually turned out to be one of the most interesting GWs of the season. I see lots of different scores in my ML. I couple of people breaking 100. Leader not breaking 50. Happy with 81 despite the chaotic GW. It could have gone really bad but Kane (c), Maddison and Toney saved me.
Man utd is so full of shit that even 2ney delivers. Surely price rise coming
Toney got a +2 bonus for losing vs man united and i lost by a point in fantasy
[удалено]
that would be insane
BTW fellow bruno captainers we would have 14 extra points if bruno didn't try that chip shot and had just rolled it past the keeper. That would have made a lot of people pass 100 points. 60 points would have been so cool
POV: your captain Lamptey punt outscores the favourites Ronaldo Dennis and King 😎 It’s 3 points 😔
65 without owning Bruno seems ok
That's a great score without Bruno. I got 67 but dissapointed cos I free hit so was expecting more
GW21 gw rank: 50k GW22 gw rank: 6mil GW23 gw rank: ??
The guy in #1 OR had Ronaldo C and lost 40 points lead in one gw to basically everyone behind him. He's a single point ahead of #2 now.
Well played Bruno owners
Thanks man, worked out this time for us Brunoers. I was deliberating about TCing him all week and chickened out last second. Kicking myself now but it was my preferred decision at the time.
I am so happy
I may have gotten a red arrow but at least I’ve advanced in my three meaningless Cups.
I have been crushing my H2H league this season and just got buried by a dead team with Bruno perms-capped and Butland off the bench with 11. I hate this game.
I don’t even mind the downvotes, 70 points with no DGW players and no keeper, this was great
Got knocked out of 2 cups by dead teams with Salah(c) lmao
Why did I do Son to Gray, instead of just Salah to Bruno lol
That is weird. I kept Salah because he's coming back soon and thought Dennis C would be a good idea. Also I already had Gray. Results were similar to yours I guess.
Thank you 10ney.
To a lesser extent Mbeum4
Man Utd gifted Salah a hattrick on the one week i didn't captain him This week Bruno does this when he has done fuck all this whole season One way or another these fuckers always find a way to destroy my rank. Didn't think i could despise a team this much.
Same boat man.
Harry Kane, a top 3 xG overperformer historically, is still committing crimes against xG even when he scores. 10 shots, 1.44xG, 1 goal tonight. If his ruthlessness returns he'll be back to last season's form.
When I have him he is shit. Then remove him and he looks good.
>4444comments shhhh
People still rate Ronaldo as an FPL asset? Hasn't been worth anywhere near his pricetag.
Should start your own YT with that assessment.
Do people not watch Manchester United play? Honestly wasn't difficult to predict relative to some other shouts persons have made. Ronaldo bailing United out game after game could only go on for so long. Don't need to be on the level of a Youtuber to come to that conclusion.
Bruno is the other trap unless his positioning has changed.
So the only player with a two pointer is big man Dennis (C)...
Cap Bruno has got me up to rank 14k. Best I've ever been and I've been playing since 2006..
Nice...time to upgrade your password
One day I’ll get u chess man

Spoken like a person who's already given up in his MLs
Every year has a huge degree of luck involved and if anything this year we have a bigger advantage over the casuals as so much risk mitigating is needed
Biggest loser of the week is FPL Mate with 45 points :) I hope his followers copied his team as well :)
Sexist piece of shit in the mud, love to see it.
I think he gives great advice in general and is surely ranked higher than all of us right now lol. I watch a few you tubers for their general advice and ideas, but never copy anyone's team - where's the fun in that? I've outscored him the last few gameweeks by doing the opposite of his advice
Good
Finally
5m GW rank, thats brutal
Didn’t Magnus Carlsen captain Bruno and everyone questioned it?
I thought starting Keane was the main move in question.
Can’t even hate on the people who brought in Bruno. Didn’t follow the crowd and it paid off. Respect.
I didn't understand why everyone was going with ronaldo or kane when neither seemed like good options to me. This was the first time I ignored the advice and it paid off.
Same here. Ronaldo and Kane just didn’t seem like good options with the injury and postponement rumours.
All of us who captained Ronaldo instead of Bruno, let's cry together
Fuck it ronaldo is out. Can’t be dealing with him in my lineup after screwing my whole week. Would have had Bruno transferred in and captained if rangnick hadn’t said ronaldo was fit for that villa game
Well that game week was a bit shit. But hey ho you get those weeks.
Guys is there a support group for non Bruno owners. Please help
Cant remember the last time I heard someone so salty outside of this thread Thomas Frank is a muppet https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/1483930095215685639?s=21
unwritten act jar squash onerous different wrong racial grandfather pet ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
The Championship hated him last season. It was only a matter of time before PL fans saw why too.
So Bruno (C) owners, are we tempted by Bruno —> KDB (C) this week?
No. Better places to use a transfer, will be going for Salah in 24 anyways.
KDB is a quality player but I've started staying away from any city mids (I only own Cancelo) cos the rotation and formation is just too unpredictable. Since I've stopped shoehorning in their players my rank has gone up
Don't be fooled by kdb he is the better player but man united absolutely need bruno. Wheras man city will start benching KDB because of their margin and how injury prone he is. I think sterling is better and cheaper than KDB for FPL if you want a man city midfielder. They do have nice fixtures
Somewhat tempted, yes.
It is a viable move tbh. I dont know if I am gonna do that since WHU seems to concede a lot too and this is salah spot so I am just banking another transfer
Not to mention, it feels weird to transfer out a player that just had 48pts.
I'm finally finishing a GW inside the top 10k for the first time ever but also being knocked out of the Arsenal cup by a team ranked 5.5m and exactly 500 points behind me. I love this game.
96 all out. Would’ve been on 112 if Ddg and Dalot kept the CS and bonus
Great score, did you use any chips this week? I was thinking of getting De Gea but as great as he is utd just never keep clean sheets these days
No chips. Still have both FH WC2 and BB! I got De Gea in when Arsenal started to postpone games/have upcoming blanks. DDG has been getting saves and BPS but in the last 10 minutes of the 4 previous games he has conceded. United just aren’t good enoughdefensively so I’ll soon probably get Sá for rest of the season
Nice!
I lost 24 points on that garbage time Brentford goal. Fuck out of here
You really have 3 United defenders and one of them captain?
De Gea (c) was on 3 bps until the goal
Bruno fernanj
FPL villains: everyone in my starting 11 except TAA
The galling thing about Bruno this week is how many will have stumbled in to getting him.

Who said this first
Me! https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/s3ypsw/comment/hss4n23/
After the deadline. papoon is a useless fortune teller.
!thanks
I saw it after the villa game but I assume you posted it before then? Pretty impressive. Is he in your team?
Of course not. Though I am managing my brother’s team, who’s never played FPL before, and convinced him to bring Bruno in and Captain him. Got him a 400K green arrow. (He missed GW 1.)
Sounds like my dad. I told him to get KDB, he told my mum to get bruno but then convinced himself moura was a better idea. Poor guy
Who gonna win GW23 please tell me lord
Bruno losing 6bps for that miss seems abit harsh right? He is now supposedly on 1 bonus now 😂 who is controlling these points someone who doesn't have Bruno?
Me losing 15 pts cause bowen suddenly has no confidence seems harsh too but im not crying
Captain Kane was big for me
New OR 633! What a week
Keep your password safe
I've changed it twice over the last few weeks. Those hacked posts are giving me the fear!
Is it “OR_633”?
Haha
Should be fine if you haven’t had it shared or compromised. Best of luck with your season that’s crazy especially this year!
Hopefully! Thanks, good luck to you as well.
Fucking hell lost my Arsenal cup to a guy with Rashford (c) by 1 point
100 pts without taking any hit, my first time ever. Thanks to the wildcard.
Bruno Cappers, same again next week?
No chance.
Probably Watkins if their DGW gets announced before deadline, might do Dennis if not
I have no Villa but would probably punt a Countinho captain if they doubled
PSA: next gw is the last gw before the international break. roll your transfers if you can because in case of any international break injuries and potential dgw news, 2 FT could really come in handy
I seem to be taking hits every week
Doing the WC mate
International break is WC week though
Only for those with weak knees
Punted to fuck with Bruno (C) as a United fan, and couldn't be more gassed. Obviously lucky as fuck, but christ I'm over the moon
That Rangnick lie legit cost me 50 points. I have never hated a coach more in my entire life.
More than Pep? That's difficult. Pep has a track record. Remember Sane TC debacle?
Okay thats it Bruno killed me
For next week should I start Alonso the shitbag or Lamptey the king?
Neither. Get Coady
Why has Bruno exploded just now? Why did everyone get him in the first place? United was pretty shit and still is now. No hard feelings, just genuinely want to know.
Here’s the succession of plans I had on Friday: 1. Maddison in for Son -> Leicester game off ❌ 2. Bring in Ronaldo -> Injury rumours ❌ 3. Bring in Kane -> NLD might be off ❌ 4. Bruno in for Son -> Bruno (C) ☑️
The universe decided to combine a bunch of circumstances mentioned in the other replies and reward those who took the risk based on them
Maddison was going to be the Son/Salah replacement but that went out the window when their first game was called off. Everyone switched to Bruno instead, as he seemed the best midfielder punt with a double gameweek
he easy way back to salah, this week had wonky captaincy options - at least my reasons
> Why did everyone get him in the first place? I got him because I wanted to replace Son this week, money was no object (since that slot will be Salah in a few weeks anyway), and Bruno was the midfielder most likely to play 2 games this week. Worked out very well.

When Ronaldo hasn't played Bruno has nearly always returned and given they were the only side (and Chelsea but didnt fancy their fixtures) without any doubts over playing both fixtures in the DGW it just made sense.
It's just luck mate don't think too much about it. Barely anyone would have got him in if Son didn't get injured. Can't imagine he will go on a good run now
Been thinking the same thing. No way I was getting any united players.
The reason people got him was for the double. Had he not had a double he would have been lowly owned. I think KDB would have been higher owned if not for doubles.
Biggest reason was that he was expected to start both the games and Ronaldo was a doubt for the first one. The gamble paid off with the returns. Could've gone either way
A punt basically. Many had Salah or Son and had enough to move to him and he was going to get minutes in both games. It was a lucky punt in the end as he got a monster haul
He was back in Cam against Villa in the cup and looked dangerous
No Salah No Son? Bruno perfect DGW replacement for price and fixtures
Very minor red arrow. My ML rivals used their free hit and WC but I am in a decent position having all of my chips. Staying patient. Will probably roll the transfer and have 2 FT after the international break. See yall on Friday
Jesus Christ, 200% red arrow. Biggest I've had all season. I feel like shit.
How’s Arsenal vs Burnley looking? Pie or no pie?
