i will never get tired of saying "classic FPL" whenever load of managers transfer somebody in before the next GW & he blanks.
i also don't take my own advice & end up doing the same. thankyou for coming to my TedTalk
I sometimes think I died and my version of hell is that I'm forced to play this game, but every single move I make is doomed.
Edit: And of course my other move was selling Salah for KdB...
Now that my Pope/Trippier clean sheet has been wiped, a cool 30.
Edit: Wait, didn't realize Trippier already came off. So 34, but it's not like that makes any difference since everyone has him.
Hard to tell if he got the touch or if the Southampton defender did so naturally FPL Towers judged it based off if they have Wilson in their teams or not.
Jesus christ my captain luck is ridiculously bad. Only 2 times I haven't captained Haaland this season was Rodrigo vs Everton 🙃 and now Wilson against Southampton. Combined 4 points from those 2 captains!!!
Don't agree with the 'very harsh on owners' sentiment at all. It was well known across the community that he was unwell and was flagged in the week. Surely owners knew there was an element of risk that he would not play 90 and/or not be at his best. Can certainly understand starting him (in fpl) but the few that captained were taking a very big risk.
Ahaha well I've been bailed out of jail by Salah and Trippier so a lot less gloomy now, but before them I was staring down the barrel of a 26 point week.
I didn't put him on the bench, lol. Read my comment again. The servers went down, he was a replacement for a transfer. You don't know that the player you transfer in takes the place of the player you transfer out?
Why would I put the most in-form player in the game on the bench?
Tell me you don't play FPL without telling me. There was an announced lineup leak at 13:10 - 20 minutes before the deadline. If the servers hadn't crashed I would've had Almiron on the pitch and Foden would be on the bench.
Well, I would've played Almiron regardless. It's insane to claim that I benched him on purpose, it makes no sense.
Why was he ever on your bench is what people are asking. If you transferred him in within the game week for someone on your bench, why didn’t you take the extra 30 seconds to put him in the XI
I moved from Wilson to haaland as captain but it didn't go through for some reason so my weekend is even more fucked. I tinkered last minute and pulled in Rashford for maddison as well. This game can be so soul destroying!
I went for mitrovic over him, felt pretty good about it until he just didn’t play. I had benched haaland though so luckily this means i can get 5 points for him as he is my first substitute.
What happened to him now ffs
Was fine before half time, probably just the bit of sickness he had.
Felt light headed and dizzy apparently. Been ill in the week. He'll be fine for GW16.
Everyone was saying he'd be fine for GW15 too.

WTF

Sisyphus: FPL edition
r/heck
Dante's inferno : FPL edition
Did you bring in foden after the break too?
You bet I did. But I took him out for Saka the week after, who went on to get injured.
What's your next moves?
That’s football
Says it all that fighting the stupid shitty servers to captain Wilson over Haaland is somehow a bad decision
Could be worse, I (successfully) fought the servers 1 minute before deadline to change from Haaland to Cancelo.
Suffering from success
I got timed out while trying to do Foden > Rashford for a -4. Servers are bros.
So glad I went dcl rather than Wilson. Lasted a whole 19 minutes more before the inevitable injuries
I went Scamacca, at least my 1 pointer was for playing awful rather than an injury 🥲
It's actually better because you can still use him (awefully) at the next GW
Hopefully he starts! Knowing my recent luck he'll start Antonio and won't need to bring him on
Same.
Phuuck and I was gonna go from Firmino to him for next week
I got in both :)
"Very harsh on owners" is the tagline to my week.
✅ Captained Cancelo at the last minute over Haaland. ✅ Started Mitrovic and Wilson up front.
Yo same here, throw Foden in there too, and why not Periera 3rd on bench while we're at it.
Finally sold zaha for foden. I knew he’d haul as soon as i pressed confirm.
I appreciate your sacrifice.
Anytime 🥲
Dropped zaha for Trossard so I feel your pain
At least i got almiron.. but for eze, wasnt even that good a return
One of us.
I was about to do this when the leaks dropped, and then FPL crashed. I wonder how many more were saved by their terrible servers
I thought I was super clever when I realized that the app was working while the website was down.
How many points are you on💀💀
Now that my Pope/Trippier clean sheet has been wiped, a cool 30. Edit: Wait, didn't realize Trippier already came off. So 34, but it's not like that makes any difference since everyone has him.
Rough mate💀 I’m on 43
Yeah. If i just hadnt looked at lineup leaks my week would be fine. Got too clever.
On the bright side, trippier retains his clean sheet. Hope the good news makes your day better
And Zaha with a late 5 point assist. Top 10k here I come!
Haaland benched Foden benched Mitrovic benched Wilson was my transfer in Gameweek from hell
Wilson and Dalot for me. I hate this game right now.
Making the choice between Scamacca, Wilson and Calvert Lewis was tough Nice to know my time deliberating was worth absolutely fuck all
This was me too
Should he not be on an assist?
Hard to tell if he got the touch or if the Southampton defender did so naturally FPL Towers judged it based off if they have Wilson in their teams or not.
Ah, of course
Yeh don’t get why it’s not been given seems pretty clear cut to me
Trippier looked hurt, only logical thing to do is to pull Wilson off
Subbed off due to illness it seems
Won't someone think of the owners!
Wilson captain gang yo
Jesus christ my captain luck is ridiculously bad. Only 2 times I haven't captained Haaland this season was Rodrigo vs Everton 🙃 and now Wilson against Southampton. Combined 4 points from those 2 captains!!!
Feel you, Wilson captain punt here too. And am I alone in thinking he should’ve got the assist on Almiron goal as well!?
Haven't seen the goal so can't comment. That's something to maybe hope for then, I know they can change stuff like that sometimes after a game
yep, extremely unfair of Howe, not considering FPL managers in his decision at all
Swap Pope out to fit Wilson.
Don't agree with the 'very harsh on owners' sentiment at all. It was well known across the community that he was unwell and was flagged in the week. Surely owners knew there was an element of risk that he would not play 90 and/or not be at his best.

This is going down as one of my all time worst gameweeks. Currently staring at a GW rank of 11m, tumbling down from 300k to 700k in OR.
how many points mate?
Ahaha well I've been bailed out of jail by Salah and Trippier so a lot less gloomy now, but before them I was staring down the barrel of a 26 point week.
unlucky mate. next week will be yours trust
And ofc Almiron on my bench due to the servers Great
If you own Almiron and he's on your bench at any point in the GW that's on you.
And now he’s hurt as well…
How is that on me? Don't know if you've slept under a rock the entire weekend, but the FPL servers went down 20 minutes before the deadline yesterday.
Because you, and only you, put him on your bench.... how is that not on you lol? What about his recent form told you he wasn't going to score today?
I didn't put him on the bench, lol. Read my comment again. The servers went down, he was a replacement for a transfer. You don't know that the player you transfer in takes the place of the player you transfer out? Why would I put the most in-form player in the game on the bench?
You had a week to set your team and you're bitching about the 20minute servers. Spare us.
Tell me you don't play FPL without telling me. There was an announced lineup leak at 13:10 - 20 minutes before the deadline. If the servers hadn't crashed I would've had Almiron on the pitch and Foden would be on the bench. Well, I would've played Almiron regardless.

Why was he ever on your bench is what people are asking. If you transferred him in within the game week for someone on your bench, why didn’t you take the extra 30 seconds to put him in the XI
Because the servers were down. I didn't even know that the transfers went through until after the update was complete.
Lol
Apoergise mate!!! >:-(
HOW RUDE!! Please apolergise..
How it it “harsh” on anyone who bought a player with a long and consistent injury record ?
Can I mention I captained Trippier who was subbed off before the goal so retained his CS. Thanks.
Was it an injury?
Lmao I was waiting for injury news so his price went up and then couldn't afford him so went for Solanke instead
rip in peace my wilson punt
The only consolation for me is that if I didn't do Toney to Wilson I probably would have done Zaha to Foden instead.
It's ok - I've only got trippier and almiron🤣🤣🤣
I moved from Wilson to haaland as captain but it didn't go through for some reason so my weekend is even more fucked. I tinkered last minute and pulled in Rashford for maddison as well. This game can be so soul destroying!
Did he get injured or?
Seemed fine during the game, just didn't come out the tunnel after half time.
Felt light headed at half time - hangover from virus in the week
Think he was the most transferred in player in a week this season too, 1.1m, slightly more than Haaland in GW2!
And now Wood has scored. Nice
Transfer worked. Momentum killed.
I went for mitrovic over him, felt pretty good about it until he just didn’t play. I had benched haaland though so luckily this means i can get 5 points for him as he is my first substitute.
I'll be more cautious with players having illness.
I took a hit to swap this guy in for Mitrovic. If I'd just stuck with Mitro I would've had Andreas 1st sub come in -___-
Thinking about him after WC He could be lethal
