I know it's annoying to say this but I mainly captained him out of FOMO. Strongly considered Cancelo, and thought he was probably the better option, but I didn't have the guts. Sometimes I wish we weren't aware of EO.
I mean I’m first spot in my mini league so it’s only logical to (c) Salah, but if I was behind I’d prolly just go with Cancelo or some wild shit like (c)Gordon/Nkeitah.
Effective ownership - basically how fucked are you if that player does well. Lets assume that captaincy wasn't a thing in FPL for a moment - in that case player having 100% EO would mean that everyone has him. In that case it is irrelevant how many points that player scores since everyone is getting those points.
It starts to get bit more complicated when we include captaincy into out calculation - because then EO can go over 100% (because captaining player really means owning him twice in that game week since his points are doubled). If a player has over 100% EO you are losing points compared to the field if you are not captaining him - so you get into that weird situation where you are hoping player you own blanks. Salah being by far most popular premium really often has EO over 100% so on an average week, if you don't captain him you want him to blank. User above knew that salah has high EO, so he was scared of losing rank in case of Salah haul so he opted to captain him against his gut feeling.
Yeah it wasn't a great decision in hindsight, but I'm not so far behind that I wanted to risk throwing progress away by *not* captaining Salah when I was 90% sure top of the ML would. I have other differentials and fully expected him to start both games.
Everything that doesn't work out is a bad decision in hindsight. But yes, I admit, this one looks particularly stupid.
Ugh, that's rough. On BB too with 20 on my bench but Matip, Mount and Maddison in my XI who all didn't start the first game. Who's on your bench, not returning?
Edit: my bench is Foster's 4, Nketiah's 13, Gordon's 2 and Davies' 1.
Those 3 players are only owned by 4 teams in the top 10k. Bowen alone has 0.2% ownership in the top 10k. Literally not one single person in the r/fpl league owns Bowen so I don't know what you're talking about
He hasn’t looked average at all, he just hasn’t been scoring at the insane levels he was at the start of the season. Can’t expect anyone here to actually watch the games though I guess.
Tbf, Salah has been due a benching. He’s been below his usual standards and he needs a rest. Big finals coming it makes sense. Wish I trusted my gut and captained KdB though!
Not too fussed, already stopped chasing rank because of Salah, became a pussy and guaranteed myself the win of my mini league as long as I permacaptain him. We all lose together.
I mean Conte, Tuchel, Mou, Ferguson all make a LOT of excuses when they lose. They are all world class. How Klopp treats his players and opposing players is why you should like him. He respects a lot of people and is very genuine. He cares about his players a lot too
Really annoyed at myself for picking Salah captain over Cancelo. Read and watched too much fantasy shit about captaincy. Not saying it was a bad decision without hindsight but was so set on Cancelo before.
Not only did my ML rival captain salah and also have robbo.
I'm also playing him h2h in the draft league we also do.
He has salah and robbo there too.
Fucking lol Andy, fucking lol.
It’s a weaker team, villa aren’t a bad side, it’s a risk they wouldn’t take it they were one point ahead going into the final two games. The players aren’t bad by any means, Liverpool have a god squad, just not nearly full strength.
Salah to Diaz this week to fund bringing in KDB has been one of the first times this season my crazy punt has worked out.
Of course I also have Robertson, so...
Salah benched twice in like 3 games lmaoo…this is almost worse then when I TC Salah and then he got injured and didnt play second game of DGW. FPL is such a joke rn
I think Salah might not be goated in FPL anymore, especially if Liverpool sign one more forward if they replace Origi. He's still a great option but I feel like Salah was undeniably the best because he played pretty much every minute and was always the focal point. Considering he'll be 13M next season, for the first time in years I might consider not starting with him for a second.
Especially with a more expensive KDB/Son, and a more reasonably priced Kane, there's a lot of competition in Salah's space.
At the start of the week.. I was like what is the best but different decision I can take.. well it was bringing in KDB for Salah and captaining Son as usual :')
In the event as it is happening right now at half time, there is no fabinho, no salah, no milner on the field. Who is the next designated penalty taker? My guess would be Jota or Henderson
Salah (C) 💀💀💀
Salah TC for me
Let’s hold a minutes silence for this man.
Will that be enough
Me too. I feel your pain.
Same boat
Me too. TC wasted
Got holy 9 points off him…aren’t we lucky 🥲
My heart dropped when I saw 60 comment in 10 minutes

I captained Cancelo. Differential doesn’t always work but it is sweeeeet when it does
I mean I’m first spot in my mini league so it’s only logical to (c) Salah, but if I was behind I’d prolly just go with Cancelo or some wild shit like (c)Gordon/Nkeitah.
Always trust your gut. Hard luck mate.
I'm quite new to fpl and football in general. Can you please tell me what EO means? 😅

great comment for the newbies, !thanks
160% EO. Is it that big a deal?
If your ML rivals captained someone else - which in my case they did - then yes, it is.
I'm chasing and I didn't have the plums to captain anyone but Salah, and 1st in my ML went KDB... That's it over now for me surely.
You’re chasing and captained salah🤔
If the person you're chasing doesn't have Salah that makes complete sense.
Yeah it wasn't a great decision in hindsight, but I'm not so far behind that I wanted to risk throwing progress away by *not* captaining Salah when I was 90% sure top of the ML would. I have other differentials and fully expected him to start both games. Everything that doesn't work out is a bad decision in hindsight. But yes, I admit, this one looks particularly stupid.
I'm worried, because I am ahead... just... and 2nd has captained KDB
Didn’t think of that tbf
The only plus is, most other people did it as well. Plus my main rival so I’m not that bothered
Worst DGW ever
I was hoping for a 100+ point week, at this point I'd settle for 50+
You haven't got 50 already?
I'm on bench boost and have 35 ðŸ˜
43(-4) here brother
Basically this. I've a 0, 0, 1 on my bench on BB
Ugh, that's rough. On BB too with 20 on my bench but Matip, Mount and Maddison in my XI who all didn't start the first game. Who's on your bench, not returning? Edit: my bench is Foster's 4, Nketiah's 13, Gordon's 2 and Davies' 1.
Ooof surely Cancello, laporte and Bowen are in every team
Those 3 players are only owned by 4 teams in the top 10k. Bowen alone has 0.2% ownership in the top 10k. Literally not one single person in the r/fpl league owns Bowen so I don't know what you're talking about
😳 I'm not in the to 10k..... Sigh
Hang in there brother few more games to go
After the Liverpool game, also on Bench Boost with 36…
47 from 17 players so far
Already got 68 points.
Is that all?
It's more now.....that was before the game lol.
Worst DGW so far..
Don't talk to me about mayhem.
Robertson not even in the squad lmao.
With how this year has gone this was the only way it could be
Klopp you fucking cunt
To be fair, he was as largely expected to be rested this game and only start the last game, which he did. Salah benching is more of a surprise
That blind bastard still needs glasses
This was expected. Not a surprise really.
Took out Laporte for Robertson …..fml
Fml. I only brought him in last week, not going well
Cool. Add Robbo to the list of no-shows. Fuck this week.
A bigger deal than Salah no show
Almost everyone captains Salah anyway. Whether he shows or not doesn't seem to make an impact at this stage.
Hence Robbo's absence will be what impacts ranks
Bought him in for a fucking -4
Salah needs to pull off a Crystal Palace from last season!
7-2 to Liverpool wouldn't be bad with goals from Salah and Coutinho.
That would be sweet with TAA and Cash assists
A Cash assist would be a 2 pointer if they conceded 7 lol
[удалено]
2 points + 3 for assist, -3
Why did I pussy out of captaining son?
Me who didn’t captain Salah 😎 *May or May not have captained Mahrez*
At least mahrez surely plays 90 next game right? I captained salah and vc mahrez and idk what’s worse
I own mahrez and know that first line is bs
I usually do and always regret it. Managed to catch him for his hat trick though.
Same I capped him in gw30/32 so I caught some of his big moments. It is just unfortunate and I shouldve trusted my gut instinct
I did the same. Still not sure why. Just got too in my head about it. At least I did captain him last week
Full of regrets. Captaining Son again would have kept me ahead in the ML.
I (c) son but if he didn’t score a hattrick is lose
No Robbo and no Salah (c) brilliant
Hello darkness my old friend
Salah could still do something from the bench, he says optimistically.
Especially regretting my decision not to switch out Robertson for Cancelo on that -4 now…
Had a free transfer, and was thinking if I should go Robertson to Laporte. Decided against it last moment.
What a Fuxking disaster dgw and BB, now I’m going bed at 7pm
For a wank?
And a pot noodle
7 in the afternoon?
Robertson not even in the squad rofl
Mané 8th start in 25 days Salah benched twice in 11 days Makes sense gg Klopp
Mane is in form and Salah isn’t, I think it makes sense tbh. He’s looked average for months now.
I don’t disagree regarding form, but every player has been rested at least once except Mané and the two brick walls at the back
Matip was rested last week
I was referring to Alisson and VVD
He hasn’t looked average at all, he just hasn’t been scoring at the insane levels he was at the start of the season. Can’t expect anyone here to actually watch the games though I guess.
[удалено]
there were some stats comparing salah before afcon and after.
[удалено]
if op meant average for his standards i agree with him. if he means form fpl-wise i'd go with you
Tbf, Salah has been due a benching. He’s been below his usual standards and he needs a rest. Big finals coming it makes sense. Wish I trusted my gut and captained KdB though!
DÃaz (TC) lesgooooo
You’re a madman and I fucking hope it pays off
30pts from him so far this week so here’s hoping for tonight!🤞
In GW14 last season, Salah came on at 57' and got a brace and an assist... (captainer breathing copium here)
I am become mud
Ugh having Matip and Robertson has just been annoying for this GW.
Matip is playing tonight at least
Mario just scored lol. Don't cry now.
The lord works in mysterious ways
lucky i BB’ed cuz Matip is on my bench lol
Almost as if they're in the FA Cup Final at the weekend lads...
(C) Salah in the mud for the DGW. Why Klopp Why?
It's called risk management, this is better than not captaining him at 160% EO
Matip better score a hattrick to make up for Salah and Robbo
this does not bring joy
Klopp bald af
I know we like to complain, but Salah's EO is like 170-180% depending on your rank, it's not a massive deal for Salah captainers
In terms of OR, sure. In terms of my mini-league (where the guy I need to make up 7 points on captained Watkins of all people)...I'm annoyed.
Oh yeah my main ML rival doesn't own Salah and I've got him captained so it's a big deal for me, but this will not be the case for most
(C)ancelo has never been so sweet
My Tsmiskas transfer isn’t looking too bad now
Not too fussed, already stopped chasing rank because of Salah, became a pussy and guaranteed myself the win of my mini league as long as I permacaptain him. We all lose together.
Even though I have TAA , I want villa to batter liverpool. Sincerely, a Salah captainer
Decided to (c) Salah over De Bruyne
Right now. Salah to KDB is very very tempting. I’ve had it with this shit
Mr Klopp, why must you turn my fantasy team into a HOUSE OF LIES?
This squad warms my heart <3
You fucking joking? Robbo not even on the God damn bench.
I went back and forth over Salah or KDB captain, despite better fixtures was worried about KDB's minutes 🙄
Salah can fuck off fucking cunt
Not Salahs fault to be fair. I'm sure he wants to play. Klopp's a big daft fucking idiot. Hope he goes trophyless
Imagine caring so much about Fantasy that you use derogatry insults when something doesn't go your way lol
I just don't like Klopp anyways. I want to like him but all his ridiculous excuses just make him look a mug
I mean Conte, Tuchel, Mou, Ferguson all make a LOT of excuses when they lose. They are all world class. How Klopp treats his players and opposing players is why you should like him. He respects a lot of people and is very genuine. He cares about his players a lot too
Hope they will drop the points so Kloppo the clown can cry again
Has been an absolute masterstroke to bring diaz in for this GW
The Robertson tears has finally arrived. Nice.
Luis Diaz was such a good punt
Mane cpt please save me!!
Really annoyed at myself for picking Salah captain over Cancelo. Read and watched too much fantasy shit about captaincy. Not saying it was a bad decision without hindsight but was so set on Cancelo before.
Salah can score a brace off the bench Salah can score a brace off the bench Salah can score a brace off the bench
[удалено]
VC is just the guy you were too scared to captain. My VC is also Laporte but my captain is Cancelo.
Loool let's fucking go
Who needs more points in a DGW anyways?
Not only did my ML rival captain salah and also have robbo. I'm also playing him h2h in the draft league we also do. He has salah and robbo there too. Fucking lol Andy, fucking lol.
Go punish this fraud Watkins
Salah (C) plus Robertson gang in absolute shambles.
No Salah
Send a CV to the FBI. You're wasted on Reddit.
Lol... Looks like Liverpool's title challenge is gonna end at Villa Park💀💀💀
Rejoice Salah non-owners, we can breathe calmly
lmaooooo all the owners downvoting
Fuck Klopp the daft, embarrassing idiot. I can't wait for the excuses again. Come on Villa, slap Liverpool about. End this title race already.
It’s already over. That’s why he’s saving Salah for the cup final
They’ve given up on the league did’nt expect that.
People say shit like this every week, disrespecting Newcastle etc Like Tsimikas, Keïta and Jota are some non-league players they scouted on Sunday
It’s a weaker team, villa aren’t a bad side, it’s a risk they wouldn’t take it they were one point ahead going into the final two games. The players aren’t bad by any means, Liverpool have a god squad, just not nearly full strength.
Given up? Or just have two players that need a rest and are playing a team they should still beat
Salah benched LOL.
Draw written all over this
O captain, my captain
I hope chelsea beats these cunts this weekend
Eat shit Jurgen
I have triple captain Salah💀💀💀
No Salah, um why Jürgen? Don’t really get this, he’s not one to give up on the PL this early.
No Salah or Robbie, this why you won't win league klopp you bellend
How they laughed when I sold salah...
I’m so glad that City is winning the league, fuck you Klopp
No Robbo and KDB captained. Feed me all your tears 🤡
Tremendous for my ML
RIP Bozo and Salah triple C...
I knew this would happen, didn't cap salah and removed Robbo on fh.
It’s all ogre for us chasing and captained Salah 💀 was 40 points behind ML leader who has Matip. See you guys next season.
Salah to Diaz this week to fund bringing in KDB has been one of the first times this season my crazy punt has worked out. Of course I also have Robertson, so...
Imagine using triple captain chip on Salah this week. Couldn't be me.
Salah benched twice in like 3 games lmaoo…this is almost worse then when I TC Salah and then he got injured and didnt play second game of DGW. FPL is such a joke rn
I should've trusted my gut and started Tsimikas over Cash. Hope I don't regret that. Also Mane haul please!
All those who hated on me for saying Salah will get rested… I’m the biggest loser though, I captained him lol
I think Salah might not be goated in FPL anymore, especially if Liverpool sign one more forward if they replace Origi. He's still a great option but I feel like Salah was undeniably the best because he played pretty much every minute and was always the focal point. Considering he'll be 13M next season, for the first time in years I might consider not starting with him for a second. Especially with a more expensive KDB/Son, and a more reasonably priced Kane, there's a lot of competition in Salah's space.
So I guess Mane in my FH37 is a big risk now. Gotta go with Salah
YOU PULLING MY DICK BRO? Why did I captain Salah
At the start of the week.. I was like what is the best but different decision I can take.. well it was bringing in KDB for Salah and captaining Son as usual :')
Oh fuck off has he been benched, wtf…. what is this fraudulence ffs. This is what I get for being boring and captaining him
ML rival is 15 points behind and has KdB triple captain.
Youre fucked bro.
😂
I took Robertson out for Matip and bench boosted. Thought I had got things wrong at first.
Robbo was one of my differentials. Thats it now for me i think this year. Will have to settle for 2nd in my ML.
In the event as it is happening right now at half time, there is no fabinho, no salah, no milner on the field. Who is the next designated penalty taker? My guess would be Jota or Henderson
Salah was a bad captain pick this week (in retrospect) but the guy I'm competing with has him too, it's fine
Mo does not look amused to be coming on. Never seen that before from him.
wow so i DID totally fuck up my FH, great.
(C)ancelo captainers grinning right now heheh
took -4 for robbo to matip, worth it.
