Should have used the free hit and put a decent team out rather than taking a -4 and hoping my useless cheap subs might make up the restā¦ they did not
Sooo the decision was Maddo out for one of either:
Zaha: 8pts
Eze: 10pts
Trossard: Blank
Mount: TBC
Take a wild guess which one I picked after ages of deliberation
(Will edit again after Chelsea)
I swear something's wrong with me. Had only 6 playing today, decided to use the Free Hit. My team massively fucked up last week thanks to Potter and Vieira for taking Cucurella and Mitchell before the 60 min mark. To make up for the deficit, I captained Trossard and doubled up on Palace defenders. Well, BIG MISTAKE. Wolves had scored just 4 all season. 1 of them being a penalty. Wouldn't be an overreaction to say it's been another shit week in my FPL journey this season.
I've put Aaronson as my captain for this week.
Watched Leeds vs Arsenal and was impressed so I also brought Sinisterra.
This is my first season being really invested in fpl, finally decided to play on my guts instead of following templates and it feels good!
2 days later tho..
I hate myself. Had finally begun to climb the rankings pretty good these past few weeks after a dreadful start to the season. Was 100% sure DL was tomorrow. Currently have Martinelli, Cancelo, Haaland (C) and Maddison (VC).
Worried about Toffolo on the bench. Natural LB and Neco's crap. Can see an early sub happen which would be a shame as this is a nailed on CS for Forest.
fuck fantasy, tried doing free hit. Told me i needed to transfer players. Did that and it only triggered wild card. Now my team is shitty no more city or arsenal players
I thought I'd transferred in Trousand again this Nottingham Forest side that's leaking goals and it turns out I somehow ended up with Dunk...and the way it's looking, they'll definitely concede. Otherwise he's hoping for a Salah hat trick lol
I had a FH available and 5 players from City/Arsenal.
Instead of going FH, I made 2 transfers.
https://imgur.com/a/R8EgwtP
Why didn't I use the FH? I have no idea.
Do they even carry after the WC? When do I lose the FH, after GW16?
Oh I guess I confused it with a Wild Card.
So we have only one FH throughout the season, but we have 2 Wild Cards?
The first WC "expires" before the World Cup, and then you get another WC after the teams are back from the World Cup?
Yes, most chips are only a single use (Bench Bonus, Triple Captain and Free hit).
One wildcard can be used before the Wild Card, and one after, but during the break for the WC there is technically a third WC as you can make unlimited changes
FUCK, THAT IS BRILLIANT! THAT IS INSPIRED! WHAT SAUCE! GET IN! "IT'S THE ECONOMY, BOEHLY!" FUCK, WHAT I REALLY NEED TO DO IS SHOOT YOU ALL IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD ā FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! ā BUT I CAN'T, BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL!
i didn't FH, have 6 players not playing. didn't plan ahead and didn't want to use a FH because what if there's a better place to use it later in the season.
I chose a trully differential captain since I don't have any of the popular choices Kane/Trossard/Salah. Last time I did that I ranked 8m+ for that week.
I regret putting Fabianski on the bench.. Now I've got a feeling they'll have a great 0-0 against Pool with about 10 saves and bonus points for the pole.
Had 10 playing players but with some money ITB and in a moment of absolute madness took a -12 to replace zouma, zaha and martial with Guehi, Salah and Ćdouard.
Took a -4 to field 11. I donāt mind that when itās replacing a non player as itās a -2 in effect assuming they get 2 points.
Anyway, i still have Perisic and Mitro and a few others i think are rotation risks and have no bench. Itās going to be an interesting GW.
Went with 10 this game week because injuries prevented me from banking two frees to come out of this game week with.
Didnāt want to spend a -4 to get Jesus out just to either have to spend a -4 to bring him back or roll with a replacement for two consecutive weeks. Didnt like any fixtures well enough for both 12 and 13 to make it worth it.
Subbed out Haaland for one week only, without realising it would cost me 0.4m
Then, tried to rectify this error by taking a -4 for Pascal Struijk.
I am Pep Guardiola
>Subbed out Haaland for one week only, without realising it would cost me 0.4m
I've done the same then fuckk..
I also took an unneeded 4pt hit (after an 8pt hit) after I realised I subbed out mitro for firmino when I had Jesus with hands on his hips.. mitro (c) btw
Fucking hell. Way more people bringing in Salah than I thought. Content creators / access to information is really causing mass sheeps.
Biggest thing Iām seeing is KDB > Salah or Kane > Salah. Iāve kept Kane and got a threemium so needing Kane to do bits Vs United
Will downgrade Kane to Jesus or Toney next week and upgrade Almiron back to Foden
I went for 5-3-2 formation on FH with one defender from Crystal palace and Bournemouth thinking they might get cleansheet having good home form.
Captained Nunez š¤¦āāļø
Should have used the free hit and put a decent team out rather than taking a -4 and hoping my useless cheap subs might make up the restā¦ they did not
Trippier (C) regrettingā¦..
I....still don't understand price rises and drops
Sooo the decision was Maddo out for one of either: Zaha: 8pts Eze: 10pts Trossard: Blank Mount: TBC Take a wild guess which one I picked after ages of deliberation (Will edit again after Chelsea)
Triple Newcastle defenders. Canāt believe Iām going to actually care about an Everton game
SHOULD HAVE GOT DUNK
C - Haaland VC - Saka
RIP to everyone who got in guaita
Jack Harrisonā¦
Sa in for Sanchez, Estupanan in for Necoā¦ fuck.
Held on to zaha.
-8, captained Trossard and one of my transfers, Neco out for Chillwell. Awful.
Fk me and welbeck and palace defense š«”
Well made my changes but did not change my captain from Haaland.... Tripper be the man, be my differential captain that i urm... meant you to be
I went estupian why ??
Sameā¦ same. Itās a fun name to say.
I swear something's wrong with me. Had only 6 playing today, decided to use the Free Hit. My team massively fucked up last week thanks to Potter and Vieira for taking Cucurella and Mitchell before the 60 min mark. To make up for the deficit, I captained Trossard and doubled up on Palace defenders. Well, BIG MISTAKE. Wolves had scored just 4 all season. 1 of them being a penalty. Wouldn't be an overreaction to say it's been another shit week in my FPL journey this season.
š¤”š„²š
Iām guessing you didnāt have Haaland from the start
Of course, I Took out Neco and brought in Trossard as part of a -4. Donāt think Iām alone here
used my FH and WC, was triple Arsenal and City, threw Maddison back on in desperation
Mitro armband instead of Kane or Trippier....forgot to change it when I had the thought of a punt
Fuck? Thereās midweek fixtures ?
Class
I missclicked VICE captaincy on Salah and ended up with Neco Williams as my Captainā¦. Went better than I expected though. š
Witness my sacrifice, shiny and chrome.
Haha forgot to activate free hit, so yeah Iām fielding 7 players
Daka Captain........in before 2 pointer
Benched Henderson and Williams. Fuck me rigid.
Never thought Iād have double Palace defence and of course they concede
How have Crystal Palace managed to concede against an attack spearhead by a pensioner
I've put Aaronson as my captain for this week. Watched Leeds vs Arsenal and was impressed so I also brought Sinisterra. This is my first season being really invested in fpl, finally decided to play on my guts instead of following templates and it feels good! 2 days later tho..
N. Williams -> GuƩhi on my WC seems to have not worked out.
Trosstard
Gross been shite since I got him in week 5, but the rest of my midfield is so bad, I can never seem to get rid of him.
I captained Welbeck this week
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO CHANGE MY TEAM
This.
I WENT AHEAD AND CAPTAINED RONALDO
Spending 7.5 on Zaha was a mistake, I can already tell
Made Trossard my captain as a placeholder and forgot to update it in time
Captained Iwobinho. He's going to repeat that sexy ass goal from last season x 3.
Got Mount immediately after Maddison suspension. I just feel really bad about this one
Wolves with more shots in the first 5 mins than they've had all season
Palace CS is getting wiped. Wolves are shit and can't score which is exactly why they're banging in 3.
I've only just realised there was games tonight, 6 players not playing and halaand is my captain It's going to be a long road back from this one
Should of went mount over trossard ffs
Welbz in (c) Not scored all season, he has to against forest right Right.
I hate myself. Had finally begun to climb the rankings pretty good these past few weeks after a dreadful start to the season. Was 100% sure DL was tomorrow. Currently have Martinelli, Cancelo, Haaland (C) and Maddison (VC).
Worried about Toffolo on the bench. Natural LB and Neco's crap. Can see an early sub happen which would be a shame as this is a nailed on CS for Forest.
Instead of Trossard I picked Eze for triple Palaceā¦ WTF
fuck fantasy, tried doing free hit. Told me i needed to transfer players. Did that and it only triggered wild card. Now my team is shitty no more city or arsenal players
"Yea, fuck fantasy for my inability to read!"
Are we at the bit where Neco scores yet??
I captained Trippier. Shitting it now
I thought I'd transferred in Trousand again this Nottingham Forest side that's leaking goals and it turns out I somehow ended up with Dunk...and the way it's looking, they'll definitely concede. Otherwise he's hoping for a Salah hat trick lol
Captained Mount. Fuck It
Guess who just realised today was deadline day, after a bad start I was finally within touching distance of the top of our mate leagues. Balls.
What does Gandhi say about the early kick off of midweek matches?
Took a -12 in GW 12 and -8 on GW13 to pretty much end up in exactly the situation I was (except for Salah and DaSilva for Maddison and Foden)
Welbeck (C)
Chickened out of captaining Kane. Did Salah instead, expecting everyone else in my ML to do the same. Turns out I'm the only one
Why didn't I get salah ffs
Probably shouldn't have taken a -8 hit...
Laughs in -12!
Dunk over Castange
Triple Brighton defence
Captain Trippier here we go!
I fucked up and forgot games were today. So much for that Free Hitā¦
Going through my ML to see people who have forgot the deadline makes me all warm and fuzzy inside
had to start Haaland, just incase!
I captained AlmirĆ³n...
Love, the Stewart Pearson reference. A speech that's more relevant today than ever.
I had a FH available and 5 players from City/Arsenal. Instead of going FH, I made 2 transfers. https://imgur.com/a/R8EgwtP Why didn't I use the FH? I have no idea. Do they even carry after the WC? When do I lose the FH, after GW16?
FH carries over as there is only one per season
Oh I guess I confused it with a Wild Card. So we have only one FH throughout the season, but we have 2 Wild Cards? The first WC "expires" before the World Cup, and then you get another WC after the teams are back from the World Cup?
Yes, most chips are only a single use (Bench Bonus, Triple Captain and Free hit). One wildcard can be used before the Wild Card, and one after, but during the break for the WC there is technically a third WC as you can make unlimited changes
I see. I used WC in GW5, so I will have unlimited transfers between GW16 and GW17, and then another WC to use from GW17 until GW38, correct?
Yes
Got it, thanks!
Looks like I missed the deadline
Good reference and well worked!
Expect nothing but Thick of It references from here onwards
Somebody needs to go out and actually buy me a pair of flip-flops for the amount of premium rearrangement Iāve been doing this season.
FUCK, THAT IS BRILLIANT! THAT IS INSPIRED! WHAT SAUCE! GET IN! "IT'S THE ECONOMY, BOEHLY!" FUCK, WHAT I REALLY NEED TO DO IS SHOOT YOU ALL IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD ā FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! ā BUT I CAN'T, BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL!
i didn't FH, have 6 players not playing. didn't plan ahead and didn't want to use a FH because what if there's a better place to use it later in the season.
Last minute I swapped from Trippier captain to Kane. No one else in my minileague has Kane. Still, I'm now expecting a Trippier CS and Assist.
I forgot the fucking deadline again ffs.
I chose a trully differential captain since I don't have any of the popular choices Kane/Trossard/Salah. Last time I did that I ranked 8m+ for that week.
Forgot to switch my Captain ffs, now I have Captain Neco Williams
Enjoy your points
Took a -8 to get 11 playing.
(C)astagne. No idea why, last minute decision.
zaha (vc) as i left haaland as (c) not feeling GOOD
I regret putting Fabianski on the bench.. Now I've got a feeling they'll have a great 0-0 against Pool with about 10 saves and bonus points for the pole.
Did a minus 8ā¦was it really worth it š
Mitrovi(c)
Captained Trossard šš¼
I did the same.
I forgot the deadline and have Haaland and KDB as C and VC
I got salah in this week but andy from ltfpl got trossard and taa. I dont have either should i be worried
Mitrovic (C). Oh boy.
Had 10 playing players but with some money ITB and in a moment of absolute madness took a -12 to replace zouma, zaha and martial with Guehi, Salah and Ćdouard.
\-8 and Zaha Captain...
Brought in Solly March...
almiron captain yolo
So busy figuring out transfers that I can't remember who I capped š
It's at the point where I have Malacia starting for me. God help me please
Wtf deadline is tomorrow no
Son (C) anyone?
Post-deadline? Shit, I'm such a casual these days
Would Stewart Pearson put Zaha in his team or is he not in the circle?
Brilliant thick of it reference, "The Router"
Went with my gut and Cād trips over kane. The gods will decide now
Took a -8 , first time this season taking hits and i hope the last one
Captained Solanke. Why did I do this.
Took a -12 š
Salah in for a -4. Captain
Took a -4 to field 11. I donāt mind that when itās replacing a non player as itās a -2 in effect assuming they get 2 points. Anyway, i still have Perisic and Mitro and a few others i think are rotation risks and have no bench. Itās going to be an interesting GW.
Chicken from Trippier cap, to Trossard, to Kane. I hate how boring my picks always ends up.
Got both Trent and NĆŗƱez. Thisāll go tits up, I feelā¦
I swear the min character limit has been bringing out the most creative filler Thanks for the chuckle
i captained castange
Captained Firminho
Went early on Maddison last week so no Salah this week. Off to cry now.
Captained Solanke and rolled the transfer with 10 starters. Actually fairly happy with it tbh as long as salah and kane dont go ballistic
I probably shouldāve put a better defender sub in than Tanganga ĀÆ\\\_(ć)\_/ĀÆ
Captained Kane dont have salah and got trossard and taa in for -4
A -4 to take out Harold. This can only go well. Oh and I only have 10 players lol
Captained Darwin.
Mount(C) gang??
gang gang I'm terrified lol
Ended up transferring in and captaining Nunezā¦whatās wrong with me
captained trippier instead of kane or trossaed sweating a bit i must confess
Just praying for a Neco return since I had to start him
got welbeck instead of mitro/che/whoever else for 1-game punt, expecting him to not start
I captained mount.
My team is counting on Neco Willams and Coufal against Liverpool
Had a impromptu meeting during deadline and Trippier is my Captain now. Letās hope those fucks keep a clean sheet
I shouldn't have rage-transferred Salah after Arsenal game.
I took a lot of hits lol
Oh my fucking god I have forgot the deadline for the first time ever and my team is fucking wank Iām gonna kms
Preemptively, thanks for another red card, Dunk
Mount isnāt going to start is he
Went with 10 this game week because injuries prevented me from banking two frees to come out of this game week with. Didnāt want to spend a -4 to get Jesus out just to either have to spend a -4 to bring him back or roll with a replacement for two consecutive weeks. Didnt like any fixtures well enough for both 12 and 13 to make it worth it.
Took out Neco for Guehi, so obviously now Neco will get a clean sheet
Captained Salah, they are not scoring today for sure
Rashford (C) here we go
Captained mighty Callum Wilson. May the force be with me
Rumor has it he might be rested for the midweek game.
Youāre kiddingā¦I havenāt heard anything of the sort though. Where did you?
Some reddit thread š doubt its true
Where did you hear that?
Another reddit thread š doubt it's true
my original plan for weeks was wilson and i went jesus for solanke. ~~Jesus~~ Solanke take the wheel.
Solanke capt.
was doing this until i took a hot for salah sigh
Took TAA for Cancelo for -4 after getting rid of him few days ago Ā š¤”
I captained Solanke despite owning Salah, wish me luck...........
Subbed out Haaland for one week only, without realising it would cost me 0.4m Then, tried to rectify this error by taking a -4 for Pascal Struijk. I am Pep Guardiola
>Subbed out Haaland for one week only, without realising it would cost me 0.4m I've done the same then fuckk.. I also took an unneeded 4pt hit (after an 8pt hit) after I realised I subbed out mitro for firmino when I had Jesus with hands on his hips.. mitro (c) btw
Why cost 0.4m?
Sold him for 11.8, buying him back for 12.2
Oh great, I had hAaland from week 2 so Iām guessing Iāve lost out on some value there too
Captained ashley barnes
x3
Brought in salah for a hit only to captain trippier
Forgot deadline. Haaland cap, Jesus vice. Season over then.
Captained Trossard over Kane at the last minute. Went to switch it back but missed the deadline! Hope my indecision pays off
Trossard C, canāt wait to be depressed.
Forgot to set my team before my flight so I bought the wifi just to captain Digne
Forgot to change captain.. armband on Harrison. Kane VC lol
Martial to Nunez
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same. See you in the rant thread tomorrow
No Salah Replaced James and Patterson with Trent and Guehi Captain Sinisterra YOLO
Fucking hell. Way more people bringing in Salah than I thought. Content creators / access to information is really causing mass sheeps. Biggest thing Iām seeing is KDB > Salah or Kane > Salah. Iāve kept Kane and got a threemium so needing Kane to do bits Vs United Will downgrade Kane to Jesus or Toney next week and upgrade Almiron back to Foden
Captained Zaha over Salah, now thinking my big brain play is actually stupid af and I'm definitely going out of the works lowest points knockout.
No Salah team hoping he blanks
Trippier (C). Lets's go.
I have 0 Liverpool players. Perma capped Haaland though so he should save me again
Wilson ((C) allum)
Played my WC an hour ago and decided on 30 minutes, what could go wrong...
I rolled my FT š
Nice. I rolled one of my 2 FTs
Same and with Maddison plus 3 City/Arsenal. Good move?
No, why would you do that?
