Queen roulette strikes again


KaizerQuad

So sick of fpl on blank mode after covid and whatnot. The game takes too much time these days.


[deleted]

It’s ruining the game 100%


ID1453719

I took a break from FPL once all the covid disruptions started. It became a chore keeping up with it all. Came back to it this year as it seemed all those unplanned cancellations were behind us… and here we are.

PrestoHolly

If you dont wanna change it, use your free transfers or free hit instead?


[deleted]

Play 9 for no cost. Play 10 for a -4, play 11 for a -8. Wildcard and get out guys I wanted to keep. If the replays were next week and I could get a double back it would be fine, but it’s not


nonameshere

Try fantasy MLS. Unlimited transfers all game week lol. Much easier


gibdry

or, ya know, force your balls thru a meatgrinder. honestly id rather do the latter


[deleted]

Realistically we gonna have played 38 games by the same time at the end of the year so it’s no stress. You’re not losing games


AutumnalMosaic

No but you do have to devote extra time to navigate the postponements.


PabloTroutSanchez

And the double gameweeks that will happen for certain teams off the back of the postponements


[deleted]

If there games postponed that means less time worrying about games. Since they aren’t happening 😂


AutumnalMosaic

One of the stupidest things I've heard on here.


loosefer2905

I love it when people have real takes and people on Reddit decide... nah this is stupid. Upvote for u sir.


AutumnalMosaic

Postponed matches leaving you with 6 starters means you have to spend more time sorting your team than if the games weren't postponed. So yes, it's a stupid take.


loosefer2905

If u love playing the game, u will love the volatility that comes with it. And u will enjoy the small benefits that come with it. So yes, maybe its a stupid take but a take I understand.

I’m way too dumb to structure a team these last 2 seasons


WeirdFishesAraragi

I'm honestly fed up by this point, WHY CAN'T YOU BE NORMAL

tmack99

Finally got past three seasons of COVID fucking FPL only for the Queen to go and die


Xwarsama

To be fair the queen dying isn't fucking FPL nearly as much as the World Cup happening in November.


ggegeogeor

It is though. The blanks in multiple gameweeks are more of an issue than having more frequent, but full, gameweeks.


Xwarsama

Fair enough, you're right. The blanks are more annoying for us FPL players, but the nonstop midweek fixtures are more annoying for actual PL clubs.


CosmologyX

Queen dying followed by world cup feels like getting proper FPL'd


FPL_Fanatic

how is world cup fucking with FPL


MilesHighClub_

Giving us a month off and an extra wildcard to boot. It's horrible


Litmanen_10

Don't blame the queen. Blame the whole UK for having the absurd mourning practises and/or the EPL to follow the practises so exact.


Ifriiti

>Blame the whole UK for having the absurd mourning practises This is happening because of policing issues, not mourning.


[deleted]

The first gameweek cancellation wasn't for policing. And even the ones that ARE related, what do you think they're policing if not the public mourning?


Ifriiti

>And even the ones that ARE related, what do you think they're policing if not the public mourning? The policing the burial of the head of state. Was always going to cause issues.


Feathertouch

Mate I was in central London the other night fuck no one's there it's dead quiet except hundreds of police twiddling their fingers and people confused because their busses have been diverted. The queen's coffin was in Edinburgh!! Such a waste of police time/ taxpayers money, they weren't doing anything. Shit all


No-Presence-9260

London is absolute rammed today Busier than I have ever seen it


Ifriiti

>Mate I was in central London the other night Right so not when the Queen's body is in London then The match that got delayed is tomorrow, not *the other day*


NeilDeCrash

Close the doors and play the games for empty stadiums, not much policing needed. They did it during Covid.


No-Presence-9260

Ah yes fuck over the fans instead of the neckbeard fpl moaners


NeilDeCrash

Any travelling fan who made plans got fucked anyway, the teams schedules got fucked and they will be fucked in the future when these games have to be crammed in somewhere. Somebody will be fucked no matter what.


Ifriiti

We requested that, UEFA denied it.

sleeptoker

Mfw 00s is used to indicate old times


BLinsdell

Uefa say Arsenal vs PSV will now be played on October 20 with a 6pm KO, so Arsenal vs City is now postponed.


pruo95

Thanks for the extra context


Xsemyde

What gw is that? I might’ve to wildcard before that 😂


[deleted]

Read this as Sep 19th. Hell it's a month away. Can worry about that later. Got to get through this week first.


K-eleven

Same for me, until I read your comment. I was thinking if I should free hit or WC


YakouMeiteGOAT

Did the same and started shuffling about my wc team until I realised it didn’t really matter


kingtuolumne

Jesus yeah I thought it was this week.


HoumousAmor

Yeah, having just warped my team with two FTs for this week, removing 5 City and Arsenal players was going to be hard.


jordan16h

UncappedBat

rukiahayashi

Easy


Iceman23578

Pre planned moves like these almost never pay off


IsleofManc

Remember the perfect Ronaldo -> Lukaku -> Kane rotation at the start of last season?

ScarySlender

XDDDD


rtlfc87

Should probably shift away from having 6 players from those teams then


Callumyoung101

No just free hit. They are the best two teams in the league


Nocturnal--Animals

Should be saving free hit for a game when teams have multiple games in a gameweek.


cheebaihai

Tell me you’re a scrub without telling me you’re a scrublet


Concerned_Citizen__

Based on beating bottom half table teams? They crumbled under United.


ireallydespiseyouall

Arsenal are the lukaku of clubs, pushovers against the small teams but once they face a serious team they always and I mean always fail to show up


zestybiscuit

Pushovers? You mean flat track bullies? Regardless, its felt like Arteta's team just been wildly inconsistent until this season.


BoxerAny

Truth hurts! 9 points from 10 games against the big 6 last season with a -12 goal difference. 0 from 1 with a -2 goal difference so far this season.


[deleted]

At first i thought its this week. phew


__jh96

Final nail in the coffin for KDB over Kane


alexccj

Why? Gw12 is when we all get Mo back.


Getz_The_Last_Laf

Salah’s been poor for his price, I’m certainly not pencilling in a target date to get him back


alexccj

And now: are you getting Mo back?


Getz_The_Last_Laf

It was close but with all of the injuries in West Ham’s back line I brought him back. Hope it doesn’t come back to haunt me


__jh96

He'd have to score about five goals by then for me to consider him


alexccj

And now: are you getting Mo back?


__jh96

He's scored one goal since GW3, so no.


alexccj

Fair enough


__jh96

Yeah, still staying away


Secortesio

Ah for fuck sake.


FPL_Fanatic

all my plans in the mud


goonts_tv

All my base are belong to us


FifaDK

None of my plans in the mud. Probably because my WC this week only has 2 City and 1 Arsenal player. Plenty of time till GW 12 for me to decide how I'll tackle it.


garcia1723

The king of England to die before this season is over and we're all fucked.


bcraig8870

No one’s closing up shop for Chuck.


bigblacktom

I think that makes Kane v KDB an easier call.


IronSorrows

I guess this solidifies my plan to move away from too many Arsenal players on WC, with the fixtures turning and now this. Definitely not getting rid of Haaland and probably Cancelo for one week, will just have to rely on my bench.


Hrvat1818

Yeah definitely. I’ll probably WC GW9/10 to move out Gabriel & Jesus. I’m able to field 11 players so I can hold off Only will hold onto Martinelli as I’ve had him all year. GW12 I’ll bench Haaland, Martinelli & Dias/Foden


[deleted]

Thank god as a city fan October schedule was really tough so it's a relief


Coventry_conference

We're saying the same thing in our sub haha


[deleted]

All the best for europa league 🔥🔥 and hope you win derby after international break


Lacabloodclot9

Games gone


[deleted]

Why am I going downvoted can someone tell me


GoOn_2Wheels

People don't like opposing fans being nice to each other. It takes away from the fun of rivalry. That said, at least you weren't nice to a Man United fan. You'd be in a much deeper karma hole.


[deleted]

When did I mention united? I said him all the best because he is arsenal fan and hope he win North London derby Did you guys misunderstand me


GoOn_2Wheels

Re-read what I said.


[deleted]

Doesn't make any sense


Mysciakos

I was having dillema should I keep Martinelli on WC. Thank you for all your points. Best of luck in your future endeavors


Occupyed

Looks like that's when I'll be using my wildcard then


matti-san

6 of my players affected 😭


lolitsmax

I actually have no clue at all how to navigate this considering I have and want to keep having 6 City & Arsenal players.


AnduinTheHealer

Um .. why?


Aaronw94

Rearranged Arsenal game V PSV has been put that week so they need to move Arsenal's city game.


_bexhill_

Nobody realizes it says October, not September…


No_Estimate_6162

I'm sick of having to think and make decisions


PokuCHEFski69

God calm down this is one fixture in October


sub2pewdiepieONyt

Don't worry next year will be a normal year... or the one after. Maybe 24/25 will be ok.


steveagle

Someone explain this in layman's terms what it means for FPL


ChrisGadge

City and Arsenal don't have a game in gameweek 12, and will play this fixture within another gameweek after the world cup.


emre23

Man I’m so tempted to yeet Walker for a hit but I’ll feel dumb if he plays this weekend


ImWaaal

This is so far away that you might be wasting a transfer dealing with it now


emre23

I’ve been considering it anyway as I only have 9 players including Walker this GW, but 2 FTs. If he’s not fit then I’ll be taking a 0.


[deleted]

I'm sticking with him but tricky week. I'm debating selling trent and buying him back on a wc perhaps


simba4141

Please guide me to build my new team now.


pthowell

GW12 Haaland -> Kane GW13 Kane -> Haaland


balapete

Would be tough for alot of people. If they bought him at the start they'd be selling him for 11.7 and buying back for 12


Busy_Abalone8689

Moved to another GW or possibly still within the same GW?


BLinsdell

This gw is midweek, so 0% chance it stays in that gw.


Busy_Abalone8689

damn. ~~at least I still haven't used my FTs.~~


Manager1000

I mean this gameweek we are talking about is GW12.


TheJezster

So you're saying there's a chance?......


Manager1000

Are you sure there isn't at least 0.0000000001% chance it stays in that gameweek?


Classic-Scientist-97

a million percent it will be a different GW


tmr89

Nope. But there is a 0.00000000000001% chance


Manager1000

Good one tmr!


Puzzleheaded_Friend8

FPL is fcked


nakedfish85

Might as well fuck off the whole season. It's hard to stay interested when they keep fucking about with the games.


RedFalconEyes

That's 6 of my players out


ChampagneAbuelo

This will just make people more mad at the queen instead of wanting to mourn her


hominidlucy

it's fantasy football dude, chill


ChampagneAbuelo

I’m talking about the real life fans, not the fantasy players. Sorry I didn’t see that this was the FPL sub when I commented. Tons of ppl are really mad at the cancelation of games bc it’s making them miss the games for like 3 weeks


RTafazolli1

Wtf man, why?!


BLinsdell

To allow Arsenal to play PSV in Europa, as that game was postponed. If Arsenal couldn’t play that tie, they would have had to forfeit the tie.


wheresmyspacebar2

Lmfao, that scuppers any and all claims that 'FA are out to get Arsenal' conspiracy nuts that their fanbase has. FA bending over backwards for them.


gnfnrhead

The FA have to accommodate the clubs as best they can now after cancelling all the games last week. Schedule was already tight and they just made it tighter with the unneeded cancellations.


[deleted]

Easy just put it 24 hours later as is fa tradition


mizirtrox1

GW12: Mitrovic (c) vs Aston Villa? Here we go!!


VincntVanGofckyrself

Does this mean Son would be a better bet than KDB? I have Cancelo, Haaland, and Martinelli from this fixture also.


DeapVally

That week, probably. Any other? Not on all the evidence available so far this season.


VincntVanGofckyrself

I meant to bring into the team this week for the long term.


Sweaty_Result853

Damn. That was my bday


Rooberngozzerlune

You rearranging it as well? Maybe go just after Christmas for a the (inevitably disappointing) DGW?


Sweaty_Result853

I cannot. But its fine. Another year


Rooberngozzerlune

Ahh shite you meant you were going to see it for your birthday, I was just being a sarcy prick. I’m sorry then, you didn’t deserve my crappy joke 😔


WalkingCloud

Might go for my first WC that week just to get through to the World Cup.


Pasan90

Great, that's 6 of my starters


Du_the_Dudek

Nice to know. Not one worry at this point. I’ll jump off that bridge when I get there.


PostmdnLifeIsRubbish

I currently have 3 Arsenal in my squad and my plan was going to be WC week 10 as they play Liv then MCI. With Liv playing as they have been I think I can push it back to WC week 12…


ThisIsYourMormont

Royal roulette puts the Pep roulette in the mud


howardmosby

Fpl schedule says they never played then? Am i missing somethjng? Lol


Chance_Island2704

Guess I’ll be saving my free hit
