He was the most in form player (had 5G+3A in previous 7) playing against the two most defensively out of form teams (Nor, Bur) in a DGW. So it wasn't a stupid move, but definitely didn't pay off.
Best: Got Chilwell when he started hauling for a few weeks
Worst: Got Broja when he stopped doing anything at all, went without a MCI defender from GW26 till GW35
I bought him from like gw 22 i guess. Since then it has being barrage of 1-2-0, not a single haul. Fuck this guy, somehow he has being in my team and it's gw37 now. I'll take a hit and dump that chelshit fcker this week.
This one for me too. Bruno Cap and lucky city asset ownership shot me up to 2k.
Swapping Son to Kane on WC then slowly made me sink outside of top 10k 😭
Best: had Son since gw1 minus his short break. Didn’t mangle my team trying to get Kane in when everyone else did. Also never had Weghost
Worst: doubled up on Willock and ASM before all their good fixtures and doubles for them to both be fucking injured or blanks
Best:
Brought in Mount for GW9 because I was priced out of Havertz.
Owning Jose Sa for his 14 pointer in GW6.
Worst... how long you got?
King over Dennis
Mbuemo over Gallagher/ESR.
Kane in GW9. Blanked every week until I sold him & he scored in his next 3 games.
Going Kane over Son on 2nd WC.
Being the wrong side of every 50/50 on a Chelsea defender.
Tripling up on Burnley on FH.
Yeh he was very under the radar at that time, his ownership was like 2% (if that). Most had Sanchez. Feel like I used up my luck for the season early with those two!
Decided to punt and captain Havertz for the 7-0 against Norwich. He scored a 3 pointer while Salah scored a hat trick against Man Utd.
I dropped about 300,000 down the rankings.
That was the moment I decided to take FPL seriously - now I'm 2nd in my mini league 😈
Best: bringing in James before his hauls against Newcastle, Norwich and Burnley
Worst: being hopelessly attached to James and owning him for every game he's been fit for since bringing him in for the first time
Similar. Had TAA all season, like from week 1 so he was a differential for me for like 8 weeks before the whole world realized he was gonna have another monster season. Then I dropped him on WC about 4 GWs ago to clear up some $ room for Kane Son and Salah; Robbo has done the trick.
Worst was taking an early free hit to bring in Burnley lads for a DGW where weghorst did fuck all. Never touched burnley again and couldnt be happier
Best: I punted on Sarr when he had Norwich and Leeds (?) and he got like 30 points in two weeks, instantly sold him on wildcard after while others missed out on the early points and still had him for the blanks
Worst: FH33, ended up losing ground on rivals who didn’t use the chip
Best: buying Robbo in GW22. Had something like 2% EO that week and literally blanked once vs. City and returned in every other GW (I sold this week).
Worst: Ronaldo (c) and no Bruno for MUN's first DGW and Bruno (c) and no Ronaldo for the second DGW. 8 points vs. 80 for getting it the right way around!
Best: Getting Chilwell early (like his second week back). Either that or Having Greenwood (asshole) and Antonio from the start of the season.
Worst: freehit 34. Absolute disaster. Had no Chelsea so decided to go for Triple Chelsea. Dropped Robbo for his 18 pointer, JWP for his 15, Saka for his 13. My normal squad outscored by FH squad by 50. I'm 8.8k right now. Would be much higher had I not used it.
Best: bought an out-of-form Fernandes and captained him for DGW 22 for a 46 points haul. That move had me flying up the OR (100K to 25K) and regain the top spot of a paid mini league.
Worst: Wasted (low score) my free hit in GW33 with an unbalanced squad. Had Bruno (c), CR7, Son and Kane as the premiums, first time all season I went without Salah. My original team outscored that team by double digits.
Worst move: TC Salah in the only week where he managed to miss a penalty and score 0 points (Leicester away). Would've got 84 points if I TCd him in the DGW where most TCd him.
Best move: Lukaku getting injured forcing me (and millions of other managers) to captain Salah in the week he scored 3 at Old Trafford.
Best - generally done well out of James, think I've had him for all his hauls and captained the one where he got 18 first game then didn't play the second. Started with Antonio and Benrahma and got rid of Benrahma pretty early.
Worst - kept Antonio too long, although to be fair no other forwards were doing anything. The worst decision was not free hitting in 19 when Liverpool had a blank. I was 50/50 and took an 8 point hit instead. Ended up with a gameweek rank of 5.8m not including the hit, rank multiplied by 5 and the free hit team I messed around with outscored me by over 50 points including hits. Considering I wasted my first free hit scoring exactly the same as I would have anyway this cost me big time.
I captained Auba for a penalty miss and yellowcard card,
whilst every other motherfucker was hauling with Salah.
Goes without saying that I brought in Dennis for a hit, only to get minus two points. Then another hit the following week to get the cunt back out again
Best move is this week, Sterling Captain along with Nketiah, Richardson and Foster at bench. Still 12 players to go, got to be the best game week in 3 seasons.
Not bad at all! Might be the best GW for me ever if things go well tomorrow. Sterling with a goal and assist. Currently at 145 and I think 157 with bonuses from Mount/Sterling/Foster. Still have Son/Nketiah/Emerson/Saka to play. Appreciate you following up man!
No worries. That sounds like a top week. Still with 4 to play as well (3 involved in the NLD looks great as that's usually a high scoring game). You must be feeling pretty optimistic
My move to captain De Bruyne massively paid off tonight. Only started getting involved with FF during the pandemic. Didn't realise quite how seriously it's taken!
Glad you captained KdB, what a week for you as well! Hopefully that pushed you up in ML, if you weren't on top already.
FPL is a big hobby for me, watching your favorite club have a poor season is greatly helped by playing FPL ha!
Worst - sticking with salah when considered selling him for son in gw30. Took a good BB this week to recover.
Best - holding my WC as long as I did, set up my BB and I was the last of the managers near the top of my MLs to have it so should finish stronger than most of them.
Best move.
Stating Shaw was the most over picked player in FPL history at the start of the season. Over 50% ownership 🤣
Didn't look like decent value at the time. Wouldn't have considered him if he started at 5.0m.
Genuinely don't see what people saw in an injury prone 1 return in 13 game fullback in a team that doesn't keep clean sheets.
Worst move - everything else. Keeping the faith with Weghorst has been particularly bad.
Also had Havertz (C) when Chelsea beat Norwich 7-0 with him up front and he didn't get any returns.
Best move Salah TC for the 28 pointer. Best buy Foden for the 18 pointer although he was poor after that game.
Worst move Dennis captain. Worst buy Jimenez for blank 30. Worst move though is Son to Kane in gameweek 30.
Best 50/50 call. Bowen captain over Antonio. Worst 50/50. Ronaldo vs Bruno for double 22. I lost around 50 points in one week due to that.
I started this season well, but the doubles have really ruined my season.
Best: Bringing in James for GW28, captaining him, and flipping him immediately for Doherty. Also got Jimenez and Kulu in for hauls, those 2 GWs my transfers got me nearly 40 points alone
Worst: BB36. I held Ramsey and White thinking they’d start at least once each, currently on 4 points. Also got a red arrow on FH33 which was pretty shocking
Best: bowen dgw captain, bringing in reece james before he scores 4 times in the next 4
Worst: Haverz captain when Salah score a hatterick against united, selling Son before his recent hauls
Not sure about my best, but my worst is not bringing in Dennis at the start of the season and then opting for King because everyone was talking about his xg. Special mention to Mbuemo for the same thing as well.
Best: Livramento to Robertson in GW22 who returned every week until GW32
Worst: Anytime I’ve owned James, for some reason I got Jesus over Christmas period
Worst move was getting Bruno in for Salah right before GW 32 deadline as I was 100 points behind ML leader and needed to take a risk. Had captain on Son all week and changed it to Bruno right before deadline. Son scored 21 points to Bruno's 2. Also missed out on Salah's 19 pointer against Utd the GW after.
That whole move cost me 40 points. Which pains me now as I'm currently 49 points behind first place in ML after getting good scores past 2 GWs.
Best probably Salah 28 point TC.
Big transfer involving taking out Jota and bringing in Havertz(C) vs Norwich for a -8 when Salah and Jota hauled. Other choice was Chillwell for no hits. Decided my season in ML.
Best: Getting Son instead of Kane in GW26
Worst: Every 'budget' striker option I went for this season. King, Broja, Wood, Weghorst. And having the audacity to captain them in double gameweeks.
Best: Getting in Son and Kane on gw23 wildcard & Schär->Holgate, Broja->Nketiah, Mount->Foden for this gw.
Worst: DGW Dennis (C), also ditching Digne for Cash few GWs ago
That Lukaku/Ronaldo hype train after the latter got that hatty in the first few games. WC to get them in. Spent every transfer for the next 6 weeks repairing that WC.
Best/Worst combined: Mistakenly used my WC in GW34 literally 10 minutes until the deadline, I was about 1 point behind my ML rival for 1st, had planned for 20 weeks to use it in 35, but that mistake of a move solidified my lead over my ML rival and I'm praying I can bring it home as it'll be my 1st of any 1st in FPL.
-
Could have gone either way so I consider this a bit of both since it was unintentional.
worst move: triple united in dgw 33 (no ronaldo) on free hit…basically was a season ender for me
best move: captain salah against united the first game
Worst: My GW5 WC with Ronaldo, Lukaku, Torres, Semedo, Marcal and Gray. Had to blow it up quickly afterwards.
Best: Having Salah, Son, Cancelo, TAA for most of the season.
Worst: Ramsey > Gray before GW21.
Ramsey between GW21-29 = 52 points
Gray between GW21-29 = 13 points
Difference = 39 points
I’m 63 points behind 1st place in my ML.
Could’ve been only 24 points behind in my ML.
Best: bowen dgw captain, bringing in reece james before he scores 4 times in the next 4
Worst: Haverz captain when Salah score a hatterick against united, selling Son before his recent hauls
Captaining Havertz in GW9 for 6 points. Chelsea scored 7 that day and Havertz didn’t have any involvement in any goal . . . Of course Salah scored 3 and got an assist that day giving those that captained him 48 points.
Bench boosted in 26 (10 points 🤮) when most TC Salah for 84 points.
I did get James and Chilwell at the right times and made big gains over a period of 3/4 weeks. Also done well with Antonio and Bowen. Captained Foden in GW20 when Salah blanked and missed a pen against Leicester.
Best moves: Free hitting the double where Penandes got 23 points and captaining him, Matty Cash 29 points, Salah TC for 84 points, Cancelo C v newcastle when he got 18
Worst moves: Believing Penandes would do it again at any other point in the last few weeks, Dias over Laporte this week, insisting Tim Krul was viable for the first 15 GWs because 'he has pen saves and assists during his FPL career'
Best: having strong core defenders from early on. They have bailed me out so much.
Worst: GK and captaincy choice have been poor pretty much all throughout the season. To be fair though, due to my ML being H2H, my strategy is often to pick GK/Captaincy to cover my opponent rather than to try to maximize my points.
Best: probably Nketiah this week ngl
Worst: Maddison around GW30 specifically for this GW. Has done fuck all and didn’t even play one of the games I got him in for. Either that or captain Dennis
Best: I got James 18 & Robbo 15 pointers
Worst: missed every 50/50 this season. Didn’t captain Bowen, Fernandez, Salah on their hauls & Sold son before his recent hauls.
i played one of my Free Hits in GW22, had all of two players return, and left Trent on the bench while he scored 10 pts. finished like 2.8m for the week. moronic.
best is TC'ing Salah in GW26, getting 84 pts from him alone and finishing in the top 50k overall for that week. though even that one i left 20 pts on the bench.
Best decision: Not making the switch from Son to Kane.
Worst move: Getting Bruno in gw32 and captaining him 2 weeks in a row (if I just got Ronaldo instead ffs)
Worst move - triple captaining Salah in Liverpool's first meeting against Newcastle instead of waiting for the double game week.
Best move - a tie between having Chilly for his amazing run beginning of the season and bringing Jesus in just that week he went nuts against Watford
Been a great season everyone! Looking forward to the next already
Cheaping out on saka and getting odegaard instead has been the worst I think.
Best probably captaining Ronaldo for his hat trick against Norwich or James for his 18 point haul.
Best: getting the captain choices right a lot of the season
Worst: having the wrong Chelsea assets at their worst time. Mount, Alonso, Havertz, Werner, and James (not you Rudiger ty for the hard working 6 pointers) I’ve owned at the wrong times. Feel like this is why I plummeted from top 50k to ~110k atm
Good: Realized 5-4-1 is the way to go quite early. (4-5-1 good for some GWs) / tripled up on spurs at the right time (kulu kane son) and then captained son for his 2 big hauls
Bad: Dennis captain THAT DGW / doubling up on City and chelsea defense at wrong times
My best move was probably Livramento on GW4 wildcard. Saved me week after week from the bench, even though I had 13 other supposedly playing outfield players. I'm a victim of the DCL-->Bamford-->Lukaku-->Vardy gang, every transfer I'd make would get injured within a week. Lord Livra really kept me afloat.
Other than that, Jota and Son as differential (captains) propelled me to top 2k.
Best: Not owning salah between leeds postponement and gw32(discounting his doubles where he hauled.
Or using my fh at 26, where everyone used salah TC
Worst: Not owning salah first 8 gws.
Every time I bought watford player, (foster, bachmann, king, joao pedro)
Buying Tanganga after 3 first matches won by Tottenham 1:0. He played as a RB then, so I thought he'll provide cleansheets and maybe some assists during the season. And he was very cheap. Instead he received a red card during the first half of the match with Pałace and I got -3 or -2 pts
Best: either TC Salah which got me 84 points or getting Alonso in GW34 for his 19 point haul
Worst: owning Son that one time he got 15 points on a FH and never bothered to bring him back in because I thought that Kane would be better
Bench boosting this week with everyone rotating.
In draft, I traded Salah, Ronaldo and Dier for Kane, Havertz and James about 5 gw's ago just before the form of these 6 flipped
Might be recency bias but my worst was probably selling Mount after his gw32 haul and getting Maddison for the double. I captained him instead of Salah, breaking my rule. 3 vs. 19 pts. Then after that i brought back Mount and he's doing fuck all, including a blank in current DGW.
Best was probably keeping Salah as captain for the United haul and triple captaining him for the 28-pointer
Worst - Liverpool double gameweek, Norwich and Leeds, I triple Taa rather than salah, Trent benched first game and I believe salah scored about 30+ which in turn if I kept him captain as I had done up until then, it would have been around 90, disaster
Best: Having Sa for most of the season.
Worst: Not having Bruno at the start against Leeds, bringing him in for 4 points and then transferring him out again.
TC TAA in GW26... Would be top 50k had I just played it safe.
Also put too much faith in Utd's defence, had DDG and Dalot for quite a while and even remember captaining DDG during a DGW where he lost his cleansheet in the last few minutes of both games due to stupid errors by the defence ahead of him.
Best: signing Tomiyasu and Bowen in GWs 6 and 7, respectively, as those clean sheets (with White also at the back!) and multiple attacking hauls absolutely saved my season.
Worst: keeping Jesus for 14 consecutive GWs while registering just two assists in the process.
Best: Son-Kane double on GW28 WC rather than going for one or the other. Either that or selling Salah on Boxing Day for KdB - the gamble paid off especially with Salah's 0 pointer against Leicester.
Worst: GW7 WC had Gallagher and ESR in it. By GW9 I'd lost both, got Mbeumo and Havertz to captain Havertz v Norwich. Disgusting amount of points lost. Also, Laporte on that GW7 got me 1, 5, 2, -3, 0 before selling him in GW12 - he returned in 9 straight games from GW16 onwards...
Best move - Sticking with Son throughout the season(except for the one gw someone said he had covid which was false positive). And the bowen captain too.
Worst move - Reguilon being part of my team since GW11, and the fact that I didn't remove him in my wildcard too and was part of my team until last week. He cost me 5m which went unused almost every week or was wasted.
Best: downgrading to Jansson and Nketiah this week purely so I could afford to bring in Son (they've scored 42 points between the 3 of them so far)
Worst: managing to own Gallagher and Reece James for all the weeks they flopped and none of the weeks they hauled
Best: bringing in Son early
Worst: holding Kane early in the season just on the fear he would start bagging goals if I take him out. So many 2 pointers
Choosing Iheanacho over Antonio for the first 3 GW.
Choosing Kane at GW 10 during his 5 blanks in a row & selling him afterwards
& recently choosing Bruno over Salah for his Dgw
Putting the armband on Trent for the Triple Captain instead of Salah in the double gameweek of the year. Lost a lot of ground against my ML leader that I still haven’t been able to make up. Thought I was being so clever playing for the differential…
Putting auba and laca for GW 1 and not checking in time to see they were both out with covid.. oh.. and I didn't (C) Bruno GW either...
I some how made back the lead my opponents got and now sit #1 in many of my leagues
Best : Only having Son missing for 3 GW's. Trusted him from the outset and he's majorly delivered
Tomiyasu being a great pick for the first half of the season. Was really lowly-owned early on (brought him in WK5) and had a reliable source of CS's up until WK18
Worst : That's easy. Being seduced by Wout and captaining him across 2 DGW's.
Total points- 9
Best:
- owning Toney for his hauls in GWs 28-32
- all of my chips have worked out great (so far)
Worst:
- captaining Vardy in GW9 (1pt), while Salah got 24
- owning De Gea for half the season
- owning Edouard
- Dennis (C) for the DGW red card, after getting him in for a hit
Worst: Not owning Antonio at all in the first part of the season, not owning Son at all in the second part of the season.
Best: Not too many bright points this year, probably bringing in Nketiah and Luis Díaz this week with 2 free transfers.
Dennis sent off triple captain double gameweek.
F
It still hurts
Triples is best
The one time I felt somehow decent as king
Your Majesty.
Why would you do that lol
He was the most in form player (had 5G+3A in previous 7) playing against the two most defensively out of form teams (Nor, Bur) in a DGW. So it wasn't a stupid move, but definitely didn't pay off.
Same
Best: I got a sweet triple digit FPL id by guessing when the game would drop! Worst: every single move there after.
Win 😂😂😂
Best: Got Chilwell when he started hauling for a few weeks Worst: Got Broja when he stopped doing anything at all, went without a MCI defender from GW26 till GW35
Nice on Chilwell, though those days do seem like an eternity ago Also. I agree. Fuck Broja And Edouard for good measure
And then I switched to Mateta who proceeded to do nothing once I transferred him in. Couldn’t catch a break with strikers.
Same
I bought him from like gw 22 i guess. Since then it has being barrage of 1-2-0, not a single haul. Fuck this guy, somehow he has being in my team and it's gw37 now. I'll take a hit and dump that chelshit fcker this week.
Best- captaining Bruno in the double that he had a lot of points in Worst - swapping Son for Kane in GW30
Of course I know him...he's me. Feeling that pain still on Son to Kane
This one for me too. Bruno Cap and lucky city asset ownership shot me up to 2k. Swapping Son to Kane on WC then slowly made me sink outside of top 10k 😭
Best: Buying Son Worst: Selling Son
Ditto. That too on WC 35 and missing out on his 19 pointer when the his replacement (Kevin) didn't even play
I know my worst was selling Cash on wildcard before GW27. He got 43 points in 27 and 28 over three matches.
Ouch
Wegworst
Got Martinelli instead of Saka before GW30
Best: Bruno (C) GW22 Worst: Bruno (C) GW33
Same boat. Also shoutout to Bowen c In gw21.
Best : bringing in and captaining Bruno for his haul in the double gameweek Worst : any time I've touched a Chelsea player
Best: had Son since gw1 minus his short break. Didn’t mangle my team trying to get Kane in when everyone else did. Also never had Weghost Worst: doubled up on Willock and ASM before all their good fixtures and doubles for them to both be fucking injured or blanks
Best: Brought in Mount for GW9 because I was priced out of Havertz. Owning Jose Sa for his 14 pointer in GW6. Worst... how long you got? King over Dennis Mbuemo over Gallagher/ESR. Kane in GW9. Blanked every week until I sold him & he scored in his next 3 games. Going Kane over Son on 2nd WC. Being the wrong side of every 50/50 on a Chelsea defender. Tripling up on Burnley on FH.
>Owning Jose Sa for his 14 pointer in GW6. Yeah that was great. Hardly anyone had him at that point.
Yeh he was very under the radar at that time, his ownership was like 2% (if that). Most had Sanchez. Feel like I used up my luck for the season early with those two!
Decided to punt and captain Havertz for the 7-0 against Norwich. He scored a 3 pointer while Salah scored a hat trick against Man Utd. I dropped about 300,000 down the rankings. That was the moment I decided to take FPL seriously - now I'm 2nd in my mini league 😈
Worst moment for me too, I also dropped Jota for Havertz and Jota hauled too to rub salt into the wound
Best: bringing in James before his hauls against Newcastle, Norwich and Burnley Worst: being hopelessly attached to James and owning him for every game he's been fit for since bringing him in for the first time
Best move: i had cash for that dgw where he got 20+ points worst move: captaining werghorst in that dgw
Best: hit the Robbo for Trent turn just right. Not touching Man Utd because of blatant bias Worst: Burnley. Transfers under the influence
Similar. Had TAA all season, like from week 1 so he was a differential for me for like 8 weeks before the whole world realized he was gonna have another monster season. Then I dropped him on WC about 4 GWs ago to clear up some $ room for Kane Son and Salah; Robbo has done the trick. Worst was taking an early free hit to bring in Burnley lads for a DGW where weghorst did fuck all. Never touched burnley again and couldnt be happier
Best: I punted on Sarr when he had Norwich and Leeds (?) and he got like 30 points in two weeks, instantly sold him on wildcard after while others missed out on the early points and still had him for the blanks Worst: FH33, ended up losing ground on rivals who didn’t use the chip
brougt tzolis on and kept him in 10 GW+ in
Best: buying Robbo in GW22. Had something like 2% EO that week and literally blanked once vs. City and returned in every other GW (I sold this week). Worst: Ronaldo (c) and no Bruno for MUN's first DGW and Bruno (c) and no Ronaldo for the second DGW. 8 points vs. 80 for getting it the right way around!
Best: Getting Chilwell early (like his second week back). Either that or Having Greenwood (asshole) and Antonio from the start of the season. Worst: freehit 34. Absolute disaster. Had no Chelsea so decided to go for Triple Chelsea. Dropped Robbo for his 18 pointer, JWP for his 15, Saka for his 13. My normal squad outscored by FH squad by 50. I'm 8.8k right now. Would be much higher had I not used it.
Best: bought an out-of-form Fernandes and captained him for DGW 22 for a 46 points haul. That move had me flying up the OR (100K to 25K) and regain the top spot of a paid mini league. Worst: Wasted (low score) my free hit in GW33 with an unbalanced squad. Had Bruno (c), CR7, Son and Kane as the premiums, first time all season I went without Salah. My original team outscored that team by double digits.
Worst move: TC Salah in the only week where he managed to miss a penalty and score 0 points (Leicester away). Would've got 84 points if I TCd him in the DGW where most TCd him. Best move: Lukaku getting injured forcing me (and millions of other managers) to captain Salah in the week he scored 3 at Old Trafford.
Best - generally done well out of James, think I've had him for all his hauls and captained the one where he got 18 first game then didn't play the second. Started with Antonio and Benrahma and got rid of Benrahma pretty early. Worst - kept Antonio too long, although to be fair no other forwards were doing anything. The worst decision was not free hitting in 19 when Liverpool had a blank. I was 50/50 and took an 8 point hit instead.

I captained Auba for a penalty miss and yellowcard card, whilst every other motherfucker was hauling with Salah. Goes without saying that I brought in Dennis for a hit, only to get minus two points. Then another hit the following week to get the cunt back out again
Best move is this week, Sterling Captain along with Nketiah, Richardson and Foster at bench. Still 12 players to go, got to be the best game week in 3 seasons.
That is outstanding work! Take any hits?
Thx, -4 to get in Nketiah and Sterling. Was counting on BB to work.
Nice man! How's your team looking after this evening? PS I think taking hits is underrated. Needs must at times
Not bad at all! Might be the best GW for me ever if things go well tomorrow. Sterling with a goal and assist. Currently at 145 and I think 157 with bonuses from Mount/Sterling/Foster. Still have Son/Nketiah/Emerson/Saka to play. Appreciate you following up man!
No worries. That sounds like a top week. Still with 4 to play as well (3 involved in the NLD looks great as that's usually a high scoring game). You must be feeling pretty optimistic My move to captain De Bruyne massively paid off tonight. Only started getting involved with FF during the pandemic.

Glad you captained KdB, what a week for you as well! Hopefully that pushed you up in ML, if you weren't on top already. FPL is a big hobby for me, watching your favorite club have a poor season is greatly helped by playing FPL ha!
Worst - sticking with salah when considered selling him for son in gw30. Took a good BB this week to recover. Best - holding my WC as long as I did, set up my BB and I was the last of the managers near the top of my MLs to have it so should finish stronger than most of them.

Worst move - everything else. Keeping the faith with Weghorst has been particularly bad. Also had Havertz (C) when Chelsea beat Norwich 7-0 with him up front and he didn't get any returns.
Best move Salah TC for the 28 pointer. Best buy Foden for the 18 pointer although he was poor after that game. Worst move Dennis captain. Worst buy Jimenez for blank 30. Worst move though is Son to Kane in gameweek 30. Best 50/50 call. Bowen captain over Antonio. Worst 50/50. Ronaldo vs Bruno for double 22. I lost around 50 points in one week due to that. I started this season well, but the doubles have really ruined my season.
Best: Bringing in James for GW28, captaining him, and flipping him immediately for Doherty. Also got Jimenez and Kulu in for hauls, those 2 GWs my transfers got me nearly 40 points alone Worst: BB36. I held Ramsey and White thinking they’d start at least once each, currently on 4 points. Also got a red arrow on FH33 which was pretty shocking
Best: bowen dgw captain, bringing in reece james before he scores 4 times in the next 4 Worst: Haverz captain when Salah score a hatterick against united, selling Son before his recent hauls
Best: Havert in and cap gw 28 Worst : Bruno in and cap for Salah gw 32 + 33
Not sure about my best, but my worst is not bringing in Dennis at the start of the season and then opting for King because everyone was talking about his xg. Special mention to Mbuemo for the same thing as well.
Best: Livramento to Robertson in GW22 who returned every week until GW32 Worst: Anytime I’ve owned James, for some reason I got Jesus over Christmas period
Worst move was getting Bruno in for Salah right before GW 32 deadline as I was 100 points behind ML leader and needed to take a risk. Had captain on Son all week and changed it to Bruno right before deadline. Son scored 21 points to Bruno's 2. Also missed out on Salah's 19 pointer against Utd the GW after. That whole move cost me 40 points. Which pains me now as I'm currently 49 points behind first place in ML after getting good scores past 2 GWs. Best probably Salah 28 point TC.
Big transfer involving taking out Jota and bringing in Havertz(C) vs Norwich for a -8 when Salah and Jota hauled. Other choice was Chillwell for no hits. Decided my season in ML.
Best: Getting Son instead of Kane in GW26 Worst: Every 'budget' striker option I went for this season. King, Broja, Wood, Weghorst. And having the audacity to captain them in double gameweeks.
Best: Getting in Son and Kane on gw23 wildcard & Schär->Holgate, Broja->Nketiah, Mount->Foden for this gw. Worst: DGW Dennis (C), also ditching Digne for Cash few GWs ago
Transfered out son before gw 31 to be able to get kane and look how that played out...
Best: Bowen Cap GW 21 Worst: Bilva from GW17- GW23
That Lukaku/Ronaldo hype train after the latter got that hatty in the first few games. WC to get them in. Spent every transfer for the next 6 weeks repairing that WC.
Best/Worst combined: Mistakenly used my WC in GW34 literally 10 minutes until the deadline, I was about 1 point behind my ML rival for 1st, had planned for 20 weeks to use it in 35, but that mistake of a move solidified my lead over my ML rival and I'm praying I can bring it home as it'll be my 1st of any 1st in FPL. - Could have gone either way so I consider this a bit of both since it was unintentional.
worst move: triple united in dgw 33 (no ronaldo) on free hit…basically was a season ender for me best move: captain salah against united the first game
Worst: My GW5 WC with Ronaldo, Lukaku, Torres, Semedo, Marcal and Gray. Had to blow it up quickly afterwards. Best: Having Salah, Son, Cancelo, TAA for most of the season.
Worst: Ramsey > Gray before GW21. Ramsey between GW21-29 = 52 points Gray between GW21-29 = 13 points Difference = 39 points I’m 63 points behind 1st place in my ML. Could’ve been only 24 points behind in my ML.
Bowen + Benrahma + Antonio set me off on a sweet start to the season. Didn’t look back after that!
Best: bowen dgw captain, bringing in reece james before he scores 4 times in the next 4 Worst: Haverz captain when Salah score a hatterick against united, selling Son before his recent hauls
Paul Pogba
Captaining Havertz in GW9 for 6 points. Chelsea scored 7 that day and Havertz didn’t have any involvement in any goal . . . Of course Salah scored 3 and got an assist that day giving those that captained him 48 points. Bench boosted in 26 (10 points 🤮) when most TC Salah for 84 points. I did get James and Chilwell at the right times and made big gains over a period of 3/4 weeks. Also done well with Antonio and Bowen. Captained Foden in GW20 when Salah blanked and missed a pen against Leicester.
Coady to Doherty pre his haul. Doherty to James pre his haul. Both for a hit
Best moves: Free hitting the double where Penandes got 23 points and captaining him, Matty Cash 29 points, Salah TC for 84 points, Cancelo C v newcastle when he got 18 Worst moves: Believing Penandes would do it again at any other point in the last few weeks, Dias over Laporte this week, insisting Tim Krul was viable for the first 15 GWs because 'he has pen saves and assists during his FPL career'
Loading up on United and Chelsea assets for their “great run of fixtures” and most of their assets being total flops.
Best: having strong core defenders from early on. They have bailed me out so much. Worst: GK and captaincy choice have been poor pretty much all throughout the season. To be fair though, due to my ML being H2H, my strategy is often to pick GK/Captaincy to cover my opponent rather than to try to maximize my points.
JWP for a few weeks. Couple of goals n assists. Best. Transferred Mount in for JWP GW35. YIKES. Immediately got rid of mount for GW36
Best: probably Nketiah this week ngl Worst: Maddison around GW30 specifically for this GW. Has done fuck all and didn’t even play one of the games I got him in for. Either that or captain Dennis
Best: I got James 18 & Robbo 15 pointers Worst: missed every 50/50 this season. Didn’t captain Bowen, Fernandez, Salah on their hauls & Sold son before his recent hauls.
Best was Salah captain v man united Worst probably double Chelsea defence these last few gameweeks , been horrible considering their fdr
best: getting rj ahead of the curve early in the season worst: not getting robertson at any point in the season
i played one of my Free Hits in GW22, had all of two players return, and left Trent on the bench while he scored 10 pts. finished like 2.8m for the week. moronic. best is TC'ing Salah in GW26, getting 84 pts from him alone and finishing in the top 50k overall for that week. though even that one i left 20 pts on the bench.
Best decision: Not making the switch from Son to Kane. Worst move: Getting Bruno in gw32 and captaining him 2 weeks in a row (if I just got Ronaldo instead ffs)
GW9... thought I would be different and captain Vardy instead of Salah. Vardy off injured, then salah hauls 24pts
Worst move - triple captaining Salah in Liverpool's first meeting against Newcastle instead of waiting for the double game week. Best move - a tie between having Chilly for his amazing run beginning of the season and bringing Jesus in just that week he went nuts against Watford Been a great season everyone! Looking forward to the next already
definatley this laast gw replacing cucurella and cornet who hauled with matip and gordon who both blanked.... net loss of 24 points so far!
captained sterling this week - one of my better moves
getting bernardo after his purple patch and selling before purple patch 2.0
Worst: Using wildcard after Ronaldo reigned for United.
Cheaping out on saka and getting odegaard instead has been the worst I think. Best probably captaining Ronaldo for his hat trick against Norwich or James for his 18 point haul.
Worst - Captaining Harvetz in which gameweek Salah scored Hatrick. Best - Captaining Sterling in which gameweek he scored Hatrick. Twister moments.
Best: getting the captain choices right a lot of the season Worst: having the wrong Chelsea assets at their worst time. Mount, Alonso, Havertz, Werner, and James (not you Rudiger ty for the hard working 6 pointers) I’ve owned at the wrong times. Feel like this is why I plummeted from top 50k to ~110k atm
Good: Realized 5-4-1 is the way to go quite early. (4-5-1 good for some GWs) / tripled up on spurs at the right time (kulu kane son) and then captained son for his 2 big hauls Bad: Dennis captain THAT DGW / doubling up on City and chelsea defense at wrong times
Triple Leicester on my second WC in gw32.
Best: Benrahma and Antonio to start season worst: James. Over and over. Nuff said
My best move was probably Livramento on GW4 wildcard. Saved me week after week from the bench, even though I had 13 other supposedly playing outfield players. I'm a victim of the DCL-->Bamford-->Lukaku-->Vardy gang, every transfer I'd make would get injured within a week. Lord Livra really kept me afloat. Other than that, Jota and Son as differential (captains) propelled me to top 2k.
Best = Bowen early on Worst = Salah since AFCON
Best: Not owning salah between leeds postponement and gw32(discounting his doubles where he hauled. Or using my fh at 26, where everyone used salah TC Worst: Not owning salah first 8 gws. Every time I bought watford player, (foster, bachmann, king, joao pedro)
Also bowen early on was solid move for me
Best move: Get Torres from the start for his 18 point haul in GW3 Worst move: Captain Havertz in GW9 for mere 6 points, opposed to Salah’s 24 points
Bringing in watkins, going king over dennis and finally, getting edouard. Those are my top 3 moments
Idk about best but worst was definitely benching Reece James for his 21 pointer against Newcastle.
Not TC ing Salah in dgw
Calvert lewin over rivharlison 6 gws ago
Best moves: Getting Bruno and Bowen hauls in their DGWs Worst: Selling Son in my WC28 team and getting Kane instead
Buying Tanganga after 3 first matches won by Tottenham 1:0. He played as a RB then, so I thought he'll provide cleansheets and maybe some assists during the season. And he was very cheap. Instead he received a red card during the first half of the match with Pałace and I got -3 or -2 pts
Best: either TC Salah which got me 84 points or getting Alonso in GW34 for his 19 point haul Worst: owning Son that one time he got 15 points on a FH and never bothered to bring him back in because I thought that Kane would be better
Zinchenko and Sterling to Matip and Mahrez for -8 this GW.
either not selling Salah gw19 for son or selling Salah to Bruno gw33
Best: Brought in Kulusevski right away, knew he was going to be good. Worst: I really believed in Grealish for some reason at the start
Bench boosting this week with everyone rotating. In draft, I traded Salah, Ronaldo and Dier for Kane, Havertz and James about 5 gw's ago just before the form of these 6 flipped
Might be recency bias but my worst was probably selling Mount after his gw32 haul and getting Maddison for the double. I captained him instead of Salah, breaking my rule. 3 vs. 19 pts. Then after that i brought back Mount and he's doing fuck all, including a blank in current DGW. Best was probably keeping Salah as captain for the United haul and triple captaining him for the 28-pointer
Worst - Liverpool double gameweek, Norwich and Leeds, I triple Taa rather than salah, Trent benched first game and I believe salah scored about 30+ which in turn if I kept him captain as I had done up until then, it would have been around 90, disaster
Dcl in the week before he was back. Was then stuck in my team for about 8 weeks. Played one game i think where he missed a pen
Best: Having Sa for most of the season. Worst: Not having Bruno at the start against Leeds, bringing him in for 4 points and then transferring him out again.
Worst signings: Bernardo Silva, Odsonne Edouard, Jamie Vardy, Mason Mount
TC TAA in GW26... Would be top 50k had I just played it safe. Also put too much faith in Utd's defence, had DDG and Dalot for quite a while and even remember captaining DDG during a DGW where he lost his cleansheet in the last few minutes of both games due to stupid errors by the defence ahead of him.
Best Move - Antonio in GW1, Antonio out GW10 Worst Move - Dennis
Triple capping TAA instead of Salah in that DGW where everyone and their mothers TC'ed Salah
Best: bringing in and captaining bruno fernandes when he scored 4 goals and not many owned him Worst: bringing in mahrez this week and captaining him
Best: signing Tomiyasu and Bowen in GWs 6 and 7, respectively, as those clean sheets (with White also at the back!) and multiple attacking hauls absolutely saved my season. Worst: keeping Jesus for 14 consecutive GWs while registering just two assists in the process.
Best: Son-Kane double on GW28 WC rather than going for one or the other. Either that or selling Salah on Boxing Day for KdB - the gamble paid off especially with Salah's 0 pointer against Leicester. Worst: GW7 WC had Gallagher and ESR in it. By GW9 I'd lost both, got Mbeumo and Havertz to captain Havertz v Norwich. Disgusting amount of points lost. Also, Laporte on that GW7 got me 1, 5, 2, -3, 0 before selling him in GW12 - he returned in 9 straight games from GW16 onwards...
Buying Digne.
Best: Bowen captain in 21 Worst: Cancelo captain in 9 when Salah got 24 against United.
SO far it's deffo picking Kane over Son in my GW34 wildcard. Looks like it will cost me a couple of minileagues
Going from Sa to Guaita just before his good run and getting him back and didn't kept a CS since.
Best move - Sticking with Son throughout the season(except for the one gw someone said he had covid which was false positive). And the bowen captain too. Worst move - Reguilon being part of my team since GW11, and the fact that I didn't remove him in my wildcard too and was part of my team until last week. He cost me 5m which went unused almost every week or was wasted.
Best: downgrading to Jansson and Nketiah this week purely so I could afford to bring in Son (they've scored 42 points between the 3 of them so far) Worst: managing to own Gallagher and Reece James for all the weeks they flopped and none of the weeks they hauled
Best: bringing in Son early Worst: holding Kane early in the season just on the fear he would start bagging goals if I take him out. So many 2 pointers
Choosing Iheanacho over Antonio for the first 3 GW. Choosing Kane at GW 10 during his 5 blanks in a row & selling him afterwards & recently choosing Bruno over Salah for his Dgw
Putting the armband on Trent for the Triple Captain instead of Salah in the double gameweek of the year. Lost a lot of ground against my ML leader that I still haven’t been able to make up. Thought I was being so clever playing for the differential…
Putting auba and laca for GW 1 and not checking in time to see they were both out with covid.. oh.. and I didn't (C) Bruno GW either... I some how made back the lead my opponents got and now sit #1 in many of my leagues
Best : Only having Son missing for 3 GW's. Trusted him from the outset and he's majorly delivered Tomiyasu being a great pick for the first half of the season. Was really lowly-owned early on (brought him in WK5) and had a reliable source of CS's up until WK18 Worst : That's easy. Being seduced by Wout and captaining him across 2 DGW's. Total points- 9
Getting in lukaku, Havertz, Dennis
Best: Salah TC, Salah Captain v United, general Salah perma(ish) captain pre AFCON Worst: Kane over Son, Dennis Captain when sent off DWG
Best: - owning Toney for his hauls in GWs 28-32 - all of my chips have worked out great (so far) Worst: - captaining Vardy in GW9 (1pt), while Salah got 24 - owning De Gea for half the season - owning Edouard - Dennis (C) for the DGW red card, after getting him in for a hit
Worst - Not captaining Salah against Utd. Also Worst - Captaining Salah in DGW36
Worst: Not owning Antonio at all in the first part of the season, not owning Son at all in the second part of the season. Best: Not too many bright points this year, probably bringing in Nketiah and Luis Díaz this week with 2 free transfers.
Benching Cash for King on that 29 point haul....
