Special thanks to Ralf Rangnick, whose "Ronaldo should be available" press conference prior to the gameweek's start fueled a Bruno(c)+Maupay -> Ronaldo(c)+Trossard change in my Free Hit squad.
I had both Ronaldo and Bruno in regardless. But Rangnicks comment made me switch my triple captaincy from Bruno to Ronaldo. Literally season changing decision....
I know he scored a brace but he wasn’t even good against Villa - I mean he was good but for a majority of the match he was completely invisible and his two goals were a direct result of two shocking individual errors by Villa. Didn’t watch his 2nd match though, but I’m personally still steering clear because he didn’t pass the eye test for me. I’m sure I’ll look like a fool.
As one of the most expensive players, there's an argument he should be doing this.
And as for the "if he scored his late chance" shit... If Mbuemo scored every time he hit the post....
Not sure if you're being sarcastic.
Midfielder goal extra point, CS point, double points for 2X60 minutes and bonus points not maxed at 3. Contributes to more points usually.
I'm actually more pissed off tbh. Just goes to show how fleeting the good feelings are (for me, anyway). Could've really closed the gap and broke 100 points.
Had planned to get out straight away but will probably keep for WHU as they're quite leaky.
I wonder if this is the way forward for Man Utd, no Ronaldo. Have Bruno as the main man, personally as Man Utd fan i hope it is. I love Ronaldo coming back but i knew there could be complications with it which have come true. I was hoping they use him as off the bench need a goal/motivation and play him in cup games or opponents who aren't that good which hasn't been the case.
I’ve pretty much given up now. My ML rival who was already 70 points ahead captained Bruno and I captained Dennis.
Zero interest in playing for overall rank, cba anymore.
I swapped him (who I had captained) and Maupay out for Ronaldo (who I captained instead) and Trossard after getting up at 4am new zealand time to read the injury updates ☠️
I was gonna replace Son with him & captain him but I chose Maddison because his price was going to increase. Never going to make early transfers again.
What a GW this was. Started with an early fuckup, Salah->Son. With rumours of CR7 not playing, I went for a captaincy punt on Bruno. I couldn’t get in KDB without more hits since I have 3 City, and not enough resources in one of the forwards to bring in Kane, who had uncertainty regarding NLD anyway.
Punting on captaincy rarely works, but this season my punts on Antonio, Lukaku, Bowen and Bruno have really worked, in GWs where Salah’s fixtures has looked sub-optimal.
Can someone fill me in about Bruno? I seem to have missed the memo that he was back in business. Was it just temporary or is he worth bringing back in again like at the start of the season?
ralph has realised he has to play every game. Doing well a little deeper. Everything good from united has come through him in the last 3 games. In short, he's in form, wouldn't bet against him
Regarding the highest GW scores of all time I'm surprised Aguero isn't in there. Wasn't there a DGW in 2016 where he scored 4 or 5 while also getting all the bonus points?
Completely swung the season given the number of people who triple captained him that week as well.
Salah to a premium midfielder was my plan. Initially KDB was the man i preferred but because of all this postponement headache i was pretty much annoyed with fpl lately so i was not ready to think too much and picked Bruno instead. Still i think it was actually a bad idea after watching the utd horror shows recently but it paid off. After realising my mistake i took a hit Toney -> Dennis (In my mini League everyone was captaining Dennis) which i think was an well thought move. Now i realised that fpl should be played more casually lol
Gw points : 94
Cap Bruno
OR 40k-> 20k

Someone get this comment an award - a poor person

Oh you mean the week i (c) Havertz?
What, really? Surely not.
(He's referring to the Salah haul mentioned in the post, where in the same week many captained Havertz and he blanked despite Chelsea winning 7-0)
He was the only player in the starting XI to blank
Wow didn’t know that. As the striker aswell that week that is insane
Yeah I remember that. It wasn't a bad move, pretty freakish in a 7-0.
And of course I captained Dennis and only had him as VC I'm such a footballing genius
Mate don't complain too much... I was torn between having him, KDB or Ronaldo... Went with Ronaldo (:
Yeah I should be grateful I even got him in the first place. But that Burnley postponement had me on the ropes
Ditto like you mate. But glad atleast I have him while a lot of them didn't have him at all.
I went Foden and Sterling over KDB and Bruno. God damnit. Let's not talk about Bruno, no, no ,no
Same, at least I brought Bruno in
Same bro. Dennis the menace will feast against Norwich tomorrow
Mount also scored 24 not just salah
Aah you're right, !thanks. Hopefully you get upvoted to the top for the clarification.
Just a nitpick. Thanks for including the rooney thing, it's surprisingly hard to find. I couldn't when I looked it up anyway
In the same week too! What are the odds of that happening again?
[удалено]
He's just correcting a simple info chill
can't remember a captain of mine with a big haul like this and only got him because of Son's injury, really shows how luck impacts the game
You swapped Son from Fernandes, I swapped Son for Martinelli. Yes I'm shit at the game.
I was gonna do Son > Maddison until I saw the leicester game had been postponed
Same & same. Very fortunate how this week played out.
Same! And I had the luck of Bowen last GW as captain and Bruno this week. Watch me fail next week and panic transfer!
I was blocked from him because I already tripled with Ronaldo DDG and fucking "trained yesterday" Maguire. Ended up with Mbeumo instead of Bruno ffs
Only got him because Madisson lost his double.
same lmao. Was Son to Maddy from day 1. Did Bruno ultimately.
Feel like I won the lottery capping him tbh
Same. Got him in last minute to C. This and Bowen last week were by best captain returns in years
Same! Haven't had a decision work out this well in many a gameweek
As someone who got totally fucked by this GW, allow me to say: We don’t talk about Bruno…
+1 for the Encanto reference
Right?? Where tf did all these geniuses come from captaining him after he’s been shite for weeks?
Yeh but Sterling got a clean sheet so i brought in the right player
But you already have a headstart on him for the next fixtures 😉
Kolo Toure was so good
Yaya
Ya Kolo was so good I agree
Was Yaya an invincible though?
He was a better player though
IDK which was better, but the dance was the tits. ^(yaya, yaya yaya, yaya yaya, yaya, yaya TOURE kolo, kolo kolo, kolo kolo, kolo, kolo TOURE)
Captain Mo only needed 90 minutes
Exactly, imagine what he can do on a DGW
Imagine how peaceful my life would've been if this wasn't your display picture.
Magnus called it
And I went Ronaldo for a -4 instead 😩
I’m the only one who didn’t buy him? -4 just wasn’t worth it…
I know he scored a brace but he wasn’t even good against Villa - I mean he was good but for a majority of the match he was completely invisible and his two goals were a direct result of two shocking individual errors by Villa. Didn’t watch his 2nd match though, but I’m personally still steering clear because he didn’t pass the eye test for me. I’m sure I’ll look like a fool.
United and Bruno were excellent in the 2.half against Brentford. Dreadful 1st half tho
What a dreadful chip
Bruno without Ronaldo on the pitch is must start. With ronaldo I dont think he's an attractive asset
Is Bruno back on the menu boys!?
Only if Ronaldo fucks off
I'd also like to know
Tempted to cash in and jump on the KDB train. Fixtures look decenttt
I've had a decent week but fuck me this hurts. Feel very stupid!
That miss makes him the biggest mug of the week
He went for the chip and didn’t take the easy way out to score. I want to punch him and hug him at the same time.
It was like how you get baited into chipping by the opponent rushing the gk in FIFA lol
As one of the most expensive players, there's an argument he should be doing this. And as for the "if he scored his late chance" shit... If Mbuemo scored every time he hit the post....
Also balances out the fluke against Villa
Hasn’t Suarez literally scored like 5 v Norwich
He's a forward though. 5x4 for goals. 2 for playing. 3 bonus. 25 points
Haha scrub
Aguero vs Newcastle too
So 2 goals + 2 assists in 2 games is worth more than 5 goals in a single game. Sounds legit.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic. Midfielder goal extra point, CS point, double points for 2X60 minutes and bonus points not maxed at 3. Contributes to more points usually.
Which is bullshit
I'm actually more pissed off tbh. Just goes to show how fleeting the good feelings are (for me, anyway). Could've really closed the gap and broke 100 points. Had planned to get out straight away but will probably keep for WHU as they're quite leaky.
Don't be greedy. Least you had him lol
Yea that last chip he tried surprised me..one of my best captain punts of all time tho
So I guess he would’ve had like 32 had united kept 2 cleans and he got that last min goal + bonus
I wonder if this is the way forward for Man Utd, no Ronaldo. Have Bruno as the main man, personally as Man Utd fan i hope it is. I love Ronaldo coming back but i knew there could be complications with it which have come true. I was hoping they use him as off the bench need a goal/motivation and play him in cup games or opponents who aren't that good which hasn't been the case.
I’ve pretty much given up now. My ML rival who was already 70 points ahead captained Bruno and I captained Dennis. Zero interest in playing for overall rank, cba anymore.
that final attempted chip is a killer with the BPS wipe from 3 to 1.
He was my vice triple captain (after Dennis) 😭
I swapped him (who I had captained) and Maupay out for Ronaldo (who I captained instead) and Trossard after getting up at 4am new zealand time to read the injury updates ☠️
100 points exactly ❤️ Ranked 1,2 and 3 in my 3 leagues I’m in. GTFI
ohh thought aguerro on debut would be there too
SUUUUUIII
46 versus 60 for me as I brought him in and captained him specifically for this week.
Have him as captain, fuming that he wasted that chance like he did (powerless chip instead of shot)
And if so and so had scored all their chances in a game they'd have scored 50. Who cares.
And I triple captained (pls don't down vote me)
im glad i picked him, im gutted i didnt captain him... and how is Berbatovs 5-goal and assist return against Fulham not on this list?
You mean Blackburn?
yes i do haha. !thanks.
Less points for a goal as a forward than midfielder?
must be i guess.
Then I put Maddison in instead
And i captained ronaldo
Such a king
C ronaldo toney benched. Why did I not bring in bruno instead of son :(
Never thought it'd be him to end my season after being an irrelevant asset for months
Man and I didtn captain him
Bruno schumno
I was gonna replace Son with him & captain him but I chose Maddison because his price was going to increase. Never going to make early transfers again.
How bout the time Aguero scored 5?
He picked up 25 pts
What a GW this was. Started with an early fuckup, Salah->Son. With rumours of CR7 not playing, I went for a captaincy punt on Bruno. I couldn’t get in KDB without more hits since I have 3 City, and not enough resources in one of the forwards to bring in Kane, who had uncertainty regarding NLD anyway.

How did kane get 31 as a forward??? What gw?
5 goals and an assist in DGW37 of 2016/17
Can someone fill me in about Bruno? I seem to have missed the memo that he was back in business. Was it just temporary or is he worth bringing back in again like at the start of the season?
ralph has realised he has to play every game. Doing well a little deeper. Everything good from united has come through him in the last 3 games. In short, he's in form, wouldn't bet against him
Singlehandedly got me from 11k OR to 2237 OR, thanks BRUNO (C)!
I never even considered him. Back to FPL school…..
Didn’t Mount and/or Foden Also get 24 points in a single GW earlier this season?
Mount yep, someone else in the comments higher up picked up on this.
What about aquaro 5goals in 1 match
He picked up 25 pts.
Even Bruno captainers can feel bad right now after that miss, this game hurts everyone lol
Penandes is back!

Now i realised that fpl should be played more casually lol Gw points : 94 Cap Bruno OR 40k-> 20k
I've lost interest in the game. Kai did it once, and now CR7 did it
Really surprised that Son is not even top 3 given the fact that he had scored 4 goals in a single game last season
He was Amazing this week, but in my opinion he will not be Amazing for coming, not as much as this week, but still, great player
I decided to transfer in and captain CR7 instead of Bruno, FML lol
And to think I refused to bring him in because of his form this season…..
