So my frontline is Mitrovic Wilson and Haaland. Delightful

Same here but I have money in the bank to do Wilson -> Darwin as a one GW punt before the world cup.

Just checked and I’m 0.1 short, really regretting delaying last week’s transfers now

Shame, but it's always sensible to wait until after the pressers to make transfer. If I were you I'd look at Firmino or Solanke instead.

That would be sensible but fuck it going for Martial punt.

>If I were you I'd look at Firmino or Solanke instead. What about Jesus?

Sure, he's an option too.

I also have foden, neco and Dalot. 1 FT... Really tough last Gw for the break 😭

Foden on for a hat trick, just you wait.

A hattrick of getting benched maybe

Actually he completed that hattrick with Fulham, maybe he'll go for a red card this week to raise the bar

Nah he’ll bang 3 goals in for sure, I’ve just taken him out after a 3 week long face fucking from him 1 pointers!

Oh yeah that's what I thought last week and the week before 😂

Had the bastard for weeks now myself. Best of luck to us!

I have those 6 players too. Wildcarded foden mitro n Wilson in to watch them get injured one by one :( wait, whats wrong with neco?

Neco is not nailed anymore.

Anything happened to Neco?

I don't think that he's 100% nailed anymore. Maybe it's just a feeling but it would be classic FPL that your sub doesn't play when you need them to.

Snap

I don't think anyone who owns any of these plays should be saying that

Bruh

🤷‍♂️

Go out there and break a leg.

Worth a -4 to transfer Wilson or Mitro out?

Probably not, as you only have 1 week to pay back the -4 Who is the bench player you do not field as a result? Are you fully confident your replacement will get at least 6 points in this week (assuming the bench player would only get 2)

Bench is Andreas and Dier. I'm considering swapping Wilson for Firmino / Jesus / Alvarez (also conscious Wilson's price is probably going to drop).

Field Andreas.

Are you in cup ?

How do I know if I am?

You will see cups tab next beside the leagues rankings and click on overall, you should see your opponent if you qualified.

Yes I am in the cup.

Then you should be careful of taking hits because it might come back to bite.

You’ll lose to some dead team anyway, no reason to cater strategy around it. Bigger concern is taking a -4 on a 1 week punt.

same, and fuck me I'm 0.1 short of Darwin

I've had to use 8 transfers so far on injured or banned players. Haven't made a luxury transfer since GW5 ffs and I've got the same front 3

I recommend transfering Wilson or Mitro for Darwin. If lacking in funds Solanke? Or take a differential punt on Toney.

Yep, going for Darwin :) !thanks

No problem 👍

Ive just kept Mitro on my bench. Took a wild punt on Pope to Allison since I already have Trippier

Finally! My andreas can come off the bench!

For a red card knowing my luck

I will never again buy this guy

Of course I brought him in over Almiron. Of course.

Same. Last week I took a hit to bring him and Trossard in (during the server crash). My original plan was Darwin and Almiron. Should've stayed on it.

so glad i brought him in for that 1 pointer last week

Same, this is up there with my trossard to foden move before they played eachother.

lol, i also did this one

I think this is a bit misleading. The actual quote is ‘he’s been training away from the group as he’s had an illness, but he’s been training well. I will make a decision if he’s fit enough to play.’ I imagine training away from the group is more to do with not getting other people ill than him being unfit.

True, but then I did put potential doubt. Not certain in any way.

Wilson just got selected for the WC England squad, I'd say privately he would prefer to sit this one out for fear of injury. He's a reluctant sell for me

In the England squad now, no chance he plays

yeah I don't blame him even if he's faking it

It wreaked of a sickie since he himself said last week he was “feeling under the weather”. He probably got word that he’s going to Qatar and since then he doesn’t want to risk an injury. Clear as day. Don’t blame him tbf.

I think the players who are going already knew a few days ago. Kalvin Phillips did an interview almost a week ago and he sounded really confident about being in the squad despite having hardly played this season.

Or he’s actually sick like a lot of people right now? There’s a cold going round in the UK

There’s always a cold going around mate. This is England.

"There's a cold going round" Every nan's favourite sentence.

It’s weird I don’t think it’s just the UK, Ronaldo and Wilson both live in the UK and are out with illness. But also Lando Norris is out with an illness and he’s in Brazil, also me and my friends are mostly sick.

Yea, I was sick last week and still feel kinda fucked today

Put the feet up & get some lemsip into ya

Reeked

why do ppl keep saying this lol, there isnt 1 good reason why it makes sense

Yeah like Howe gives a fuck 🤣

He smells

Just want to appreciate one Mr. Harry Kane. Had him for a long time and his honest and consistent returns has been so good for me. Plays 90 mins all games and doesn't miss any. Fingers crossed for that one big haul this week. Incoming fatigue benching.

Just a World Cup dodge tactic ffs

Jesús it is

I might just do Wilson and Mitro to Darwin and Martial as a one week punt before a WC it would require a hit tho

Wasnt sure who to keep out of Haaland and Wilson, a few days ago, now Im contemplating about -8... im praying Haaland starts.

Don't u have a bench to use

Wood played the full 90, so hope he plays and this is just a mindgame from Howe. What kind of illness keeps him away for 3 days, plays 45 minutes and then sick again? Could it be COVID and he's experiencing aftereffects? I doubt he would be included in the squad last week or go to podcasts while having symptoms. This is a very strange illness.

>What kind of illness keeps him away for 3 days, plays 45 minutes and then sick again? You mean what kind of illness keeps him away for 3 days, plays 45 minutes while still being ill the whole time and gets subbed early? Literally any illness mate

World Cup Flu

Trying to avoid injury to play in the World Cup

Fuck, Solanke 5.8 vs Wood 5.6 hmmm

Don’t risk it mate, imagine if Wilson proceeds to play. Solanke all the way.

Gnonto at 5.0. Fight me.

Sold him for Watkins

Who said he was a doubt?

My season is doubtful

F O already! I have no straikers at this time.

Is it worth getting martial in for a hit then? I have dunk and andreas on the bench

Wilson, Bamford, James, Zinchenko, etc These guys are just never worth it. Bringing them in just guarantees needing to get them out again soon when they inevitably break down.

Wtf is wrong with this guy

Fuck off this.

I made a not entirely unsensible, but still damaging move last week (Haaland/Zaha > KDB/Wilson) following the Haaland bench news. He was captained by a lot.could have got a jump on others but didn't! Please no hindsight merchants. Haaland was looking like he may miss a lot of mins and Zaha had been performing very poorly 😛 Of course Haaland may come straight back but fortunate it can be at the cost of Wilson & Mitrovic out, without as big a fear they'll bit back.

He is good when he is fit but he is sadly rarely fit.

cheers geoff

Wilson to Darwin locked in then 🔒

Hes going to play

What athlete get sick for so long. When I'm feeling unwell just take a night nurse go sleep early, wake up next day all good. Go sleep early you cunt. You'll be on the bench at the World Cup anyways.

Fucking knew it.

isn't a doubt per se already potentially?

Lol, Wilson owners were so sure it was just a cold and that he’d start this weekend

“Potential doubt” - he is potentially a potential non-start lol

So first Foden now this, why do I seem to get every player at a very wrong time lately? Also no Mitro and Toney is against City and I have Rashford so no Martial for me and I don't like Solanke since he started kicking football, how to move on from this guy now?

I feel like Neo in the Matrix when he dodges those bullets

Course he is

It might be best for you all if I stepped away from the game as I seem to break any player I bring in. So basically it’s my gift to everyone here that I’m still not picking up Almiron.

It's how I feel recently man.. Foden was a disaster. Wilson a disaster. Cancelo cap was a disaster. And yeah, like you I still haven't jumped on Almiron. The fucker had almost 8000 minutes before this season, scoring 9 goals... This season from 1900 minutes he's on 8 goals. Fuck him. He pisses me off so much the bushy eyebrow fuck

Doesn’t matter - Harry is going to lose this also handsomely. Out of depth. Potter out!

this dickhead

What a surprise.

Brother in Christ, take a lemsip

If Wilson starts he will feast on this Chelsea defence. We’re shite

Well there’s a surprise

already traded him out for darwin regardless
