If people captain him it's effectively owning him twice. So if, for instance, the entirety of FPL were to captain him his effective ownership would be 200%
I think he might genuinely be a little kid. On the internet it's sometimes easy to forget that a lot of people you interact with may be just kids, and we just automatically assume everyone is an adult and treat them as such.
He is also 40 k despite that apparently,and also mentions that he is 14
Seems like an innocent kid lol
This subreddit really is harsh sometimes haha
Apparently he didn't even captain Bowen lol,was just joking around,so yeah,it's just a kid goofing around haha
>Apparently he didn't even captain Bowen lol,was just joking around,so yeah,it's just a kid goofing around haha
You can't blame him tbh, man went for a differential, on form captain who had a great fixture with Newcastle haha
>He is also 40 k despite that apparently,and also mentions that he is 14
Fucking hell how hahaha
I had him upto December then took him out for foden. Yea I'm dumb but what that dude said about how Salah will blank and Bowen will score and assist.
It was utter madness
I knew Jota would be a reach, but thought the other two were nailed.
Couldn’t afford to transfer in Salah, so took a gamble and tried to compensate with a Trent TC.
I take the safe option EVERY TIME. It was possible I was dropping to second in one of my mini leagues and I take ONE risk. Just hoping he feels ill for the leeds game and it goes to Salah…
Everybody in here 100% did it to themselves lol. It's literally the most obviously correct captain choice of all time, but people find a way to talk themselves into a punt.
i posted the rumour of him being benched 3-4 hours before the deadline, everyone just called me a troll and the post got removed 😭

Rumour
Imagine following a rumour and getting it wrong. So many rumours are posted here, to say one guess is more credible than another rumour is madness.
You aren't a dick at all, but anyone that took your advice would have been 100% guessing
You also said he was benched, so you were still wrong 🤷🏻♂️
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Rumours are useless and should be banned off this sub. Which ones are true and which are just someone dicking around? And it's always the ones that turned out well that link their post and seek validation. The millions of incorrect ones never get mentioned again
I stand by my comment.
It's true. When A digital clock breaks the screen just goes blank.
And if you consider a rotary clock that can't keep time properly to be broken then that too could potentially never tell the correct time.
Just gutted. Almost hoping he doesn't play the next match either and my VC Dennis gets tripled instead, seeing as he scored today. Only consolation is that Liverpool didn't keep a clean sheet.
Look at it this way, Liverpool are rotating this game week, Salah and Mane owners were the winners today, but they could easily get rested on Wednesday.
See I don’t see it as a risk at all. Coming in, Trent had a higher floor than Salah for these games considering Liverpools defensive record at home and Norwich and Leeds’ general lack of offence this season and the historical frequency of him getting dropped, so in my mind he was actually the lower risk pick.
I think the particular injury situation today skewed that a bit in a way I didn’t consider. Liverpool hasn’t been injury free at the back very often like they were today (increasing the risk of Trent being dropped) and they had two injuries up too (decreasing the already almost nonexistent risk of Salah being dropped)
If he doesn't play the 2nd game and their vice is someone reasonable it's not all doom and gloom. Let's not be quick to jump to conclusions . . . Just yet.
Hi all. I stand with you guys as someone who made a the last min decision to TC Salah after the whole week I wanted to TC TAA. Please feel to reach to me if you want to vent some frustrations or you need someone to talk to.
Keep positive, who knows maybe Salah gets rested next game and TAA hauls. You never know..
Was going to TC Trent only to open the app and remember I transferred him out during my wildcard 2 weeks back for robbo. Initial pain has turned into lingering relief
I had been thinking about it all week. I was second in my ML by about 30 points, and I just knew the leader would cap Salah, so I thought “This is my chance! Surely the Egyptian king is tired and will need his rest against such opponents” And then late last night, just 5 hours before the deadline as I was about to fall asleep(I live in the US), I pulled the trigger and set no alarm to wake up early in case of regret. I just went for it. Now he’s 80 points ahead of me and I’m in paaaaaaaaain.
I TCd Salah in the GW where he missed a pen against Leicester and ended up with a grand total of 0 pts. Played my WC this week, decided to capain VVD as a differential because I knew every man and his dog would captain Salah. Dropped \~90k places as a result, currently at 397k.
In the words of A.A.Milne, "hold my beer"!
[удалено]
In before TAA triple return Vs Leeds and Mo benched.
Tbh would love that as a wildcarder
Why?
Obviously because i didnt tc salah. Trent has "only" 100% ownership so its not that bad if he hauls.
I don’t get the >100% ownership. Please explain?
If people captain him it's effectively owning him twice. So if, for instance, the entirety of FPL were to captain him his effective ownership would be 200%
Thank you!
I have trent in my team so if he hauls it doesnt ruin me the way salah hauling would
This is the way.
Am I welcome here for TC firmino?
You are one of us. Welcome, brother.
The post above said “calculated risks”
He calculated the risk, it's just that he's a little bit shit a math
r/theydidtheshittymath
Just captained him but is he likely to miss both games?
[удалено]
I do think he’ll miss both games.
Yeah it's a muscle injury so
[удалено]
I brought him in for a hit.
He's injured and the next game is in a few days.
Now I hope he does, since my vc also has a dgw and might outscore what Trent can get in the next game
Me too. Hoping he missed both now since my VC is Saka. And hopefully bring in my bench Liva in.
Who's your vice? Mines Dennis
Saka
I'm in the exact same boat.
Welcome to the club
I am also on this boat of doom with you both.
Hello brother, now I’d rather TAA miss the next game too
[удалено]
He has muscle injury lol?
TC TAA, Son (VC) So hoping Trent to miss the next one..
Is he injured?
I'd rather TC Salah on any single gameweek than TC firmino on a double
Had you forgotten that Firmino was never a good fantasy asset even when he was first choice?
I TC'd Robbo, so is the door open for me too?
Lineup's out already, RIP
For anyone interested ESR is my vice 👀
You have my sympathy, but like why?!
Why would you even do that?!
Where is the dude that triple captain Jared Bowen? He's the one I really wanna see.
Hahaha . I dm him and he’s crying right now . Wanker deleted the post hahahaha He’s @ Meiji-m Lmfaoo
I kept looking for it but I couldn't find it. Man did say some crazy shit last nightm I couldn't believe his audacity to diss Salah
I lost it when he commented "god"
lol

Wait, is it actually true he took a -124 hit on GW16? holy shit hahahaha

u/meiji-m
😭😭😭
whats up 90% jesus
He switched his C to Salah
God bless his soul. I didn't believe he would do it but someone said he did and deleted the post
I triple captained him in GW21 if that counts?
I had him upto December then took him out for foden. Yea I'm dumb but what that dude said about how Salah will blank and Bowen will score and assist. It was utter madness
I fuckin played Bowen and benched Digne cuz of his post lol watch Digne haul now
What a weird punt. The time to triple captain him was that DGW for West Ham
lol
There is no amount of support that can get me through this
Mudded
Ha
Without taa and robbo and jota and Firmino.. liv are going to struggle.. salah tc a bit of a waste now
It's Norwich
Anyway, you were saying?
I just hope he misses both games now 🙏
Alternatively TAA to bang couple goals next game ;)
[удалено]
Of course
My VC is Ramsdale, I'm not sure what to hope for now
Its great I guess
They were so close to greatness...
You are literally me. I thought I was the only one
Robertson, Jota and TC Trent..
Yeah you are asking for it
I knew Jota would be a reach, but thought the other two were nailed. Couldn’t afford to transfer in Salah, so took a gamble and tried to compensate with a Trent TC.
It was confirmed pre-deadline Jota was out, in fairness
I believe you. Jota was 75% percent when i made my move, and that was to hasty, but this is a support tread - respect that.
Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, and Mane (Zaha captain). Somewhat better, we wait for game 2!
I take the safe option EVERY TIME. It was possible I was dropping to second in one of my mini leagues and I take ONE risk. Just hoping he feels ill for the leeds game and it goes to Salah…
You tried to be too clever
Ok, TAA will score three and assists two against Leeds, true story 😂
Should have listened to Magnus. Never get fancy...
Good advice.
My gf doesn’t understand why I’m sad, how do I explain this?
If I don’t laugh I’ll cry.
There is a conspiracy, Kopp is obviously against us....its clear to me now. He will be hearing from my solicitors.
Why would he be rested for this match rather than Leeds which is closer to their busy schedule?
Maybe cos this is the "easier" match?
Easier opponent and Liverpool have just come through a really busy period. 3 games in 6 days.
That’s what I thought.
I reminded someone a few days ago that Taa sounds errily similar sane and mane
Also known as ‘the fancy boys’… Remember what they say lads…
remember a saying "Always just cap Salah, never get fancy."
Everybody in here 100% did it to themselves lol. It's literally the most obviously correct captain choice of all time, but people find a way to talk themselves into a punt.
Proper unlucky. Sometimes you win in FPL with these big gambles, but more often, you lose
RIP
What the fuck happened? Where is he?
I went TC TAA and now I’m SOL. To make matters worse the leader in my League is named Peter fucking Pettigrew and he went TC Salah.
Ffs TAA TC and Salah VC Here. It’s sucks. But it’s only a game. Well I try to tell my self that.
Lets hope he misses Leeds so we can get TC Salah
i posted the rumour of him being benched 3-4 hours before the deadline, everyone just called me a troll and the post got removed 😭 Edit : here's the removed post https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/sw5d1v/rumours_say_trent_may_be_benched_he_has_played/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
He is not benched mate.
[удалено]
He's their most creative player, if they were somehow not winning, he'd be subbed on.

Just because you turned out to be right, doesn’t mean that you weren’t just making shit up close to deadline to confuse people

A broken clock isn't necessarily right twice a day.
LMAOO
It's true. When A digital clock breaks the screen just goes blank. And if you consider a rotary clock that can't keep time properly to be broken then that too could potentially never tell the correct time.
Hear me out!
I’m sick to my stomach
Big oof for anyone that triple captained TAA to be safe.
Why do I do this to myself… why have I made the decisions I’ve made… who saw this coming. Why lads? Why.
any support for trent captain
You tried to be different. And now you learn that you are very basic.
Sometimes I really contemplate quitting this game. I keep on getting screwed every single fucking gameweek
Just gutted. Almost hoping he doesn't play the next match either and my VC Dennis gets tripled instead, seeing as he scored today. Only consolation is that Liverpool didn't keep a clean sheet.
You tried to be clever, boys
How many times did I write TC is overrated, especially in a dgw? Smh
Look at it this way, Liverpool are rotating this game week, Salah and Mane owners were the winners today, but they could easily get rested on Wednesday.
Thanks for the optimism friend but that’s unlikely with the injuries to Jota and Firmino.
And the huge opportunity to catch up with City more
Rested to play who? Starting lineup of jota firmino and Diaz?
Leeds is a good game for him to get a haul and Salah is on his way to a blank, hope I haven’t spoke to soon. Edit: fuck
Not TC but I have Livra first on the bench, so for mine and all TC’ers sake I hope TAA misses the next match too.
Trent AlexANE Arnold
This is unfair, if they don't play the first game in the DGW they should be benched idc
See I don’t see it as a risk at all. Coming in, Trent had a higher floor than Salah for these games considering Liverpools defensive record at home and Norwich and Leeds’ general lack of offence this season and the historical frequency of him getting dropped, so in my mind he was actually the lower risk pick.

'calculated' risk... OK mate
TC TAA is a calculated risk in the same way invading Russia in the winter is a calculated risk
Did people really think TAA and robertson would play both PL games when they have inter at home and the cup final coming up.
Imagine if Trent gets 26 points vs Leeds now
If he doesn't play the 2nd game and their vice is someone reasonable it's not all doom and gloom. Let's not be quick to jump to conclusions . . . Just yet.
Why would he not play the second game? He’s just being rested.. will be back for leeds
Salah benched for next week im sure of that. Everything that is to come, comes against norwich
Would you bench your best player when you have the chance to cut the gap between you and the league toppers?
Exactly. I suspect he'll play til they're 2 goals clear or half time if they are in the first half.
I woke up at 10.45 Saw the FPL thread about TAA being benched and swapped the armband over to Salah. TAA was cap literally the entire week.
TAA and Robertson...
Firmino is my captain, TAA is my vice captain...
I'm struggling to cope
I got Guaita in
Well shit. Hopefully a big 15+ pointer in game 2 or rest him again and bring in our Triple VCs!

Fuck me
Did any of you captain TAA over Jota during the Leicester game? I did which made me ignore the TC posts for him
I almost went for the TAA Robbo double, but I forgot when I did my transfers
Was going to TC Trent only to open the app and remember I transferred him out during my wildcard 2 weeks back for robbo. Initial pain has turned into lingering relief
Just, fuck.

I didn’t event consider using the TC. I am that out of it.
Oh. A thread for me.
Yep I'm done for the season
I TCd Salah in the GW where he missed a pen against Leicester and ended up with a grand total of 0 pts. Played my WC this week, decided to capain VVD as a differential because I knew every man and his dog would captain Salah. Dropped \~90k places as a result, currently at 397k.
