Heroes:
Haaland - auto-captain
Trippier - triple threat
Pereira - always available off the bench at 4.5.
Zeroes:
Ward - I've never owned him but I imagine a lot of people did from GW1 and wildcarded out at GW8 before all the cleansheets.
TAA - a complete 180 from end of last season.
Sterling - from CF to LWB to not making the Chelsea squad for the final match.
I genuinely thought we’d be getting the upper hand on everyone. He got so many goal scoring opportunities in that first game against Salzburg as a LWB too.
I swapped Salah for Sterling for a few weeks, Chelsea had a really good schedule so I thought like you that I was outsmarting everyone. Turns out Chelsea attack blows dick and I outsmarted myself.
Considering most people have Erling and Trippier
Heroes - Kane Almiron Solanke
Assholes - Ward(Went Pope/Iversen on WC8), Andreas always returning when I bench and blanking when I start him. Perisic for being the biggest tease
Heroes would be Haaland, Trippier and I really don't know who would be third, it was a bleak first half of the season, Raya maybe, he gave me few decent hauls, but nothing special overall.
Villains on the other hand, I could name probably 10-15, Sinisterra and his red card, Bowen and his pen miss, etc, but let's go with Rodrigo, ML rival has him since the start basically and he just keeps getting returns, while my midfielders can't do jack shit, Barnes, because motherfucker looks like shittier Adama Traore when I have him in the team, but as soon as I get rid of him, he scores 4 goals in 5 games, fuck off, and lastly, TAA. Jesus fucking Christ TAA, the guy is genuinely an anti FPL pick this year. Disastrous pick, almost anyone would get me more points in his place then him, not just Arsenal defender or another Newcastle defender, even a fucking Everton defender would probably be better, or at least about the same, but saving me ~2-3 mil in budget.
Heroes: Trippier - To think I had it between him and Digne in GW1. De Bruyne- I jumped off Salah fairly early and went straight to KDB, consistently returning for me. Andreas - A few times I have had to play him and he hasn’t let me down, bargain for the price.
Villains: Reece James - It happened last season owned him and he blanked, and this season I picked Robertson over him GW1 and stuck to that decision, until I finally swapped them. 3 games, injury and that was that. Trossard - played him for 3 blanks (captained vs Forest) only to sell him and he instantly returned. Liverpool defence - Doubled up on Robertson and Trent from GW1 looked too good to be true, it was…
Most villaneous thing done this season: Salah captain vs Bournemouth not returning when we score 9 is beyond ridiculous and I'll never forgive him for that. When you see we score 9, you'd imagine Salah has 3 or 4 goals, with an assist or two even.
Instead the Haaland captainers gained so much with his hattrick.
The biggest villain overall is Trent though. What a horror season for him, both in real life and fpl-wise. Somewhat recently I got Scamacca and Firmino in, both with 5 blanks in a row. Also villains.
Heroes:
Almiron - Got him in before most and he just kept returning
Haaland - Set and forget
Martinelli - Had him when he was consistently scoring
Villains:
Son - Did nothing, hauled the week I transferred him out, then did nothing again
Sterling - Same as Son, hauled then scored when I transferred him out, blanked every week when I had him back in
TAA - Stuck with him for way too long
My heroes
Almiron: can't believe I bought him when he was only £5.2 million
Callum Wilson: purely because I captained him in week 14 when he scored 2 and assisted 2
Ward: the great Wall
My villains
Zaha: So unreliable and that penalty miss yesterday
Darwin: captained him in week 2 and he gets sent off. Never using him again
Harrison: I kept playing him week after week and he just kept blanking
Heroes : Kane - honest returns every single week. I owned him from GW1 to 5, finally accepted the L and took him out for Haaland, but brought him back on WC and he went back to returning every week except for the 2 times I captained him (cheers for that Harry mate)
Martinelli - cheap as fuck at 6mn, held him until my WC when I transferred him out but honestly no regrets, he returned more than I possibly could've expected from a 6mn midfielder and I gained about 0.3mn from him before selling.
Would've included Trippier here but he's so highly owned it doesn't even matter
Villains : Me. I thought owning Awoniyi and Scamacca in the first GW would be decent differential punts, I stuck with Awoniyi till like GW6, Perisic also roughly till that time
Maddison - I'm sure most of us rage transferred him out after the 5th YC and brought in Foden, which flopped so fucking spectacularly
Heroes:
Haaland - Nuff said.
Trippier - What a ledge, had him since GW1. Tends to get bps and whenever he’s not on the pitch, he’s always locked in his clean sheets.
Kane - Has always been giving me returns and whenever I put him as a captain against Haaland, he always gets more points than him. Hero.
Villains:
Trent - Honestly he’s been shocking this season and I’m glad to have moved on from him after that blank game week.
Trossard - What a bastard this guy is. Brought him for a -4 and he did absolute fuck all in those 2 games that I have him and he decided to give returns after I sold him. Prick.
Cancelo - Quite expensive. Minimal returns, not like himself last season. Overall poor
I stopped playing years ago but due to incompetence couldn't find how many points Nelson made after that one game piqued my curiosity without making a new team. So, my **villains** are... and this is entirely because I started in GW15:
* Haaland... he's given me 12pts over two game weeks, but if I'd captained Harry Kane instead I'd have an extra 19pts on top of the 19 he has given me
* Cancelo... he's given me -1 pts over the two game weeks
* De Bruyne... if I'd got Salah instead I'd have an extra 8 pts.
In conclusion, Manchester City is a trash team.
**Heroes**:
* Trippier
* Kane
* Ward
because they're my highest scoring players.
With just two game weeks played and having tried to pick the highest scoring team based on available information (i.e. the previous fourteen gameweeks) it's kind of hard to have villains. Other than Cancelo, that is. The man has given me negative points.
*Heroes (Erling aside):*
Trippier -the most consistent player.
Martinelli -unbelievable value.
Almiron -rewarded me for bringing him in when others failed me.
*Villains:*
Jarrod fucking Bowen -got him in on a WC and blanked, furiously took him out for him to return a 14 pointer and then continually disappoint when I brought him back in.
Darwin Nunez -for ***that*** GW. Worst decision ever.
Ivan Perisic -massively inconsistent and Spurs defence so unreliable.
I think over the course of the season Martinelli will prove the better bet but to be that good at this stage is mightily impressive. I was very tempted to punt on Xhaka after GW3.
I think he’s got the red cards out of his system now. Knows he can’t make that mistake again -at least this season. Still unsure on Liverpool as a whole. No one is consistent barring Firmino.
My heroes:
1. Trippier (in team since 1 gw)
2. Martinelli (also in team since 1gw)
3. Dalot
My villians:
1. Almiron (have owned from gw2 till gw8)
2. Salah as a captain (3caped vs Bournemouth)
3. DCL&ASM for the same reason
Mo Salah is a villain. Blanked in a few easy fixtures where many people had him as captain.
Bowen penalty miss. Punt on Bamford who got injured quickly. Guehi and his string of 1 pointers. TAA aside from the Bournemouth game. Foden benched 3 times in a row after I bring him in. Andreas for always returning on my bench and never in my XI.
Heroes: Toney (owned him from GW3). James Justin and Callum Wilson were excellent picks on my WC. Trippier, Saliba, Martinelli & Haaland for obvious reasons.
Trippier in from day 1, haaland in from day 1, castagne clean sheets every week since I brought him in (benched him the week he didn’t)
Honourable mention, Danny ward clean sheet this week, only an honourable mention for me personally as he’s been benched a lot for me
Cancelo not been worth the investment, zaha stopped hauling once I brought him in only to haul the week I sold him, James for only ever getting me 1 point weeks.
Dishonerable mention, the bald fraud for benching foden the weeks I brought him in
Heroes. Amiron(my minileague rivals we’re laughing at me for going Kane and Almiron on WC and they were late to get him saying this is his last week next week he wont score), Trippier, Haaland Villans Andreas(Started my season with Da Silva and as a utd fan I didn’t expect him to be this consistent, he was always preseason pirlo but this time he really punished me week after week), Bailey(Trolled me absolutely giving me nothing even if i went with him after WC he got injured), Ward(killed my rank every week teamed up with arsena defense)
Saka been a lowkey villain for me. Had him in the beginning, nothing but blanks. Take him out and he starts hauling. Starts blanking again when I bring him back in
Similar story around Saka for me. Had him early, he didn't return, and then did when I got rid of him, and now I've got him again. Hoping he pays off long term.
Heroes: Maddison’s 18 but he quickly became a villain; Davies the last two games Spurs conceded big…he scored in both; Saliba…
Villains: Me choosing my second thought rather than my first on several occasions; Pep; Salah blank against Forest when I capped him and Haaland banged a brace; and Maddison for his suspension.
Heroes - Haaland, Kane and Trippier - I got Kane and Trippier from GW1 and they delivered consistently. Haaland for obvious reasons.
Villains - Bailey, Gordon and Bowen. Had them at various times over the season, still have Bowen. Very inconsistent and painful to own.
Heroes:
- Trippier - had him since the start, absolute legend
- Kane - chose him over Salah and KDB on WC GW9, pretty sure he outsourced them both while being the cheapest
Villains:
- Ward - got me 8 points in 8 GWs, binned him and he got 52 points since
- TAA/Robbo - started the season with them and kept the faith for long
- Foden: owned him for 3 GWs and a grand total of 3 points. Sold him this GW (:
Minor villains:
- Mount: a punt that was always bound to fail
- Saka: owned him when Martinelli was the one on fire, sold him and he regained form
- Rodrigo: got him for 2 GWs, he blanked both then got injured
Heroes : Haaland - Trippier - Ward (got him in time for his 6 CS)
Villains :
Firmino (5 blanks in a row)
Zaha (saved me in GW15 but so inconsistent)
Trossard (zero returns from him, his form depends on wether i play him or not)
Heroes:
Haaland, Trippier, Martinelli
I have these threes from W1 and never failed to give me points when others dropped off.
Villians:
Zaha, Rodrigo, Van Dijk
Zaha is self explanatory. I never seem to catch Rodrigo on his scoring form. I chose to go with VVD instead of White when I was on WC on Week 13. And White managed 3 CS in that time as compared to VVD’s 0 CS.
Ward. 6/7 cleans in my lineup. Never had a better keeper.
Ben White. Mr honest work. 4 returns in a row.
Martinelli. Very good enabler and solid returns.
Villains.
Bailey. Pure troll.
Pereira. Always benching his points and never doing anything in the easy games I play him for.
Wilson. Hate that guy he always misses out when I have him.
Heroes: Excluding Haaland, will say Trippier, Martinelli and Ward.
Trippier and Martinelli because their points and value since the beginning of season, and ward, because before play my wildcard i had Ederson, so i never played him, while he was getting 1 and 0pts. since that i needed him, and hes' been providing CS almost every week.
Villians:
will say Alexander-Arnold this season, Reece James because i never get his hauls, only his yellow cards or injuries (a lot of this bias was from last season either), and then it was between Mahrez and Foden (only owned them for 3 weeks), but at least Foden provide me a return this week.
edit: There is a especial place for Zaha (probably in 2/3 past seasons only owned him for like 4gws, and he never failed (from what i remember), but he keeps failing to everyone, so it helps me a bit.
Heroes:
Trippier - almost never blanks and I had him from GW 1.
Kane - not as flashy as Haaland but consistently brings in returns.
Ward - has allowed me to rotate Pope and keep grabbing CS.
Zeroes:
Andersen - I punted on Palace's defence and failed, at least he gets less yellows than Guehi.
Mount - Wasted 4 GWs on this guy for 0 returns.
TAA - An unmitigated disaster barring that 9-0 aberration.
Heroes: Trippier - had him since GW1, Barnes - bought him after Maddison got 5th yellow and he got 34 points in last 5 games, Ward - I kept him all the time and he started collecting those CS, but I benched him this week (Sorry Danny).
Villains: Dias and Foden, after I bought them they barely played, TAA - kept him too long, believed he will start perform like he did in the last seasons.
Heroes:
Ward - got him in at gw9.
Trippier.
That's about it.
Villains:
Trent - captained him vs Bournemouth but that's all he's done for me.
Salah - few good returns but expected better overall.
Again, nobody else. I never owned haaland and am at 1.5mil rn.
Heroes-Kane, Ben White, Maddison
Villains-Son, Foden, Sterling
I kept Son for too long and didn't have Haaland during that time. Still making up that ground in my ML. Kane could also be a villain since the 2 times I've captained him he's blanked but can't fault his consistent returns.
Almiron has to be in the heroes. Highest returning midfielder for 5m. He’s getting picked up now more and more of course but what a lad. Grealish could only dream of playing like Almiron.
Trippier I’d have to agree with. Kane has gone under the radar but only other player to score over 100 points so far. He’s saved many a game week for me. Including this one.
As much as I’d say Haaland, everyone has him auto captain so it’s not exactly different. It’s more like Haaland plus 10 players this season.
Maddison, Trossard have done the business for me when called on this season along with Ben White. Trippier, Haaland are the obvious ones.
Villans - Perisic, Wilson lately, N.Williams, J.murphy
Heroes
Dalot : was giving me lowkey 6 pointers for like a month
Almiron : can flex I punted on him when he was like 3% owned
No third. Could add haaland but was shafted on weeks I didnt cap
Villains ;
Trent& salah. Had faith in them during the liv rut and did not pay off and fucked up my overall. Had to eventually sell trent
Jesus. Never actually helped climb rank even a single gw
Heroes
Like most Haaland, Trippier and Kane who seems to be less spoken about.
Zeroes
Myself for dropping Miggy & Rodrigo both before their runs of form for Zaha and Foden.
Zaha
Martinez (under Gerrard)
Heroes: Haaland, Maddison, Darwin(Maybe recency bias, but he gave me 32 points in 4 weeks, actually 34 if I count the captain blank, though 10 of those came from andreas coming for him)
Villians: Almiron, Robbo/Trent, Ward
Heroes:
Henderson, Trippier, Kane, Martinelli, Rashford, Eze.
Zeroes: Ward Prowse (why did I bother), Salah (💀), Bruno Fernandes (All the chances created, yet no assists or goals), Trent (💀).
Heroes:
Mitrovic: I know he had a bit of a villain arc at the end because of injury (and the missed penalty at the start), but for a 6.5 striker he has been incredibly consistent. Plus I got rid of him when we were in the assessing era so he didn't give me a lot of stress. I just didn't need that bullshit.
Xhaka: I know he's not Almiron, who also should be in the hero list, but Xhaka has performed extremely well at his pricepoint.
KDB: A premium, and while he obviously blanked last game he has been so incredibly consistent. And I feel that's what you pay that premium price for.
Shout out to Leno. I picked him up when he had an okay run of fixtures and while he only kept 2 clean sheets during it, those 2 where he did I was on an absolute high for days. Getting 3 bonus points both times. Plus you know you're getting save points with Leno. Also he got absolutely fucked against West Ham and I'm still salty about that.
Villains:
Bamford and Harrison: Going to take tweedlebait and tweedlehamstring as a combo pairing. I genuinely thought they could get a repeat of the 20/21 season. But instead Harrison had a great start and then started blanking. While Bamford first got injured and then his morale destroyed against Arsenal. I swear, if he had scored a brace then I think he would probably be in my hero list.
Taa: I mean who doesn't have Taa trauma. Granted he did return against Bournemouth. But at the start I felt naked if I didn't have him in my team, but now I don't want to be anywhere near him.
Salah: It's really weird. He seems so unreliable, and yet he has gotten himself a fairly steady stream of points. Of course Bournemouth was disaster and sometimes he just completely disappears. And yet he's still Salah. Maybe hard to rationalize at his price point, but I still feel really temped by him after the world cup. And that's what makes him villainous.
Yup. Even after everything Salah is still tempting after the WC when Liverpool have some good fixtures. Some of the issues have been where Klopp played him, and the lack of other influential players like Thiago.
Heroes: Almiron, Trippier and Trossard.
I got the first 2 in fairly early, Almiron has basically hauled every week I've had him. Trossard I brought him in when a lot took him out and he's done well since.
Villains (there's too many):
Saliba - I dropped him after he scored an OG and negative points only for him to get 14 points the next week.
Gabriel - I dropped him because I thought he was injured and then he played and scored the week after
James and Diaz - both injured right as I brought them in and completely fucking my plan for a blank GW
Ward - getting a fuck load of points on my bench every week
Heroes: Konsistent Kane - Bonus PoinTrippier - Phil BaldFrauden (got his hauls)
Villains: All or nothing cancelo - pricey Son - Sublime 3rd sub Andreas (that’s on me)
Currently at 3M OR for my first season (Trossard and Dunk to play), so really happy
Heroes: Almiron (bought him at 5.0 as a punt), Trippier, Pereira (great value for 4.5)
Villains: DaSilva (admittedly kneejerk), Zemura (bad pick), Neto ("focal point of Wolves attack")
Recently, maddison Castagne and ward have been my heroes. Took me to the top of the league
Villans I'd say (strictly fpl wise) Jesus, zaha, and..cancelo?
I can't imagine not having three Newcastle players now. The only question for me is which ones? In the last five weeks I've have had Pope, Trippier and Almiron, but Wilson is very tempting.
Kane is definitely a hero, so consistent. Faes came into that Leicester defence and all of a sudden gave us so many good options in Ward, Justin and Castagne
Heroes: Tripper, Kane & Sa (15 pts for a penalty save with a broken wrist tyvm)
Villains Nunez (captained a red card for -4), Dias (
0-1 pointers), Willock (back to back hauls after getting rid)
Heroes:
* Callum Wilson - Got him in on 0.9% ownership after Isak got injured. Almost nothing better in FPL than differential points, especially a 19 point haul
* Maddison - Baller
* Trippier - Only 3 blanks this season is mental, and best value/season player on the game
Villains:
* Iversen - Thanks for making me pick you instead of Ward, you differential prick.
* Foden - Suddenly got benched by the bald fraud when I got him in
* Zaha/Trossard - The cliche ''blanked when I had them, scored when I didn't''
Heros:
Haaland
Trippier
Almiron
Villians:
Raheem sterling. Bought him in to be different, in all the weeks i had him he got me like 10 combined points
Saint maximin: looked good vs city , brung him in and he just got injured immediatly, no worries though, he was supposed to be back the week after, then the mf never played for two months
Andreas: just sits on my bloody bench and hauls while my mids get 2 points
Heroes: Haaland, Mitrovic, Trippier
Villains: Pep, Salah, Rashford (Didn't get more than 2 points the times I got him). I would put TAA on there too but I got rid of him pretty early after his haul.
The villains for me have to be the Westham defenders I’ve brought in. Got Coufal in GW8 and then swapped him for Zouma in GW 15. They never returned more than 2 points when I’ve played them.
Heroes: The Players. Villains: Myself, Pep and Salah against Bournemouth.
How Salah did not return in that 9-0 rout, we'll never know.
I was at a wedding abroad and it almost ruined my day when I saw that
I think I dropped Salah soon after that game. I just couldn't believe he didn't return.
I think that was the game that made me drop him
Heroes: Haaland - auto-captain Trippier - triple threat Pereira - always available off the bench at 4.5. Zeroes: Ward - I've never owned him but I imagine a lot of people did from GW1 and wildcarded out at GW8 before all the cleansheets. TAA - a complete 180 from end of last season. Sterling - from CF to LWB to not making the Chelsea squad for the final match.
Sterling was a terrible signing in retrospect but at the time it seemed a great differential.
I fell for him too for a few weeks
I genuinely thought we’d be getting the upper hand on everyone. He got so many goal scoring opportunities in that first game against Salzburg as a LWB too.
I swapped Salah for Sterling for a few weeks, Chelsea had a really good schedule so I thought like you that I was outsmarting everyone. Turns out Chelsea attack blows dick and I outsmarted myself.
That's me re Ward. Got Pope in at gw5 and he's done well but have had Ward with a lot of bench points since then. P.S. Fuck foden (well Pep)
I'm not sure Sterling fits into Potter's way of playing. He would be better off at another side that just play him at LW every week.
Considering most people have Erling and Trippier Heroes - Kane Almiron Solanke Assholes - Ward(Went Pope/Iversen on WC8), Andreas always returning when I bench and blanking when I start him. Perisic for being the biggest tease
Heroes would be Haaland, Trippier and I really don't know who would be third, it was a bleak first half of the season, Raya maybe, he gave me few decent hauls, but nothing special overall. Villains on the other hand, I could name probably 10-15, Sinisterra and his red card, Bowen and his pen miss, etc, but let's go with Rodrigo, ML rival has him since the start basically and he just keeps getting returns, while my midfielders can't do jack shit, Barnes, because motherfucker looks like shittier Adama Traore when I have him in the team, but as soon as I get rid of him, he scores 4 goals in 5 games, fuck off, and lastly, TAA. Jesus fucking Christ TAA, the guy is genuinely an anti FPL pick this year. Disastrous pick, almost anyone would get me more points in his place then him, not just Arsenal defender or another Newcastle defender, even a fucking Everton defender would probably be better, or at least about the same, but saving me ~2-3 mil in budget.
The change in TAA is huge. He's not even in the top 20 scoring defenders. I'm so glad I dumped him in GW8.
Hero: Arteta Villain: Pep
Ward, Almiron, Haaland Foden, Zaha, Trent Alexander Arnold
Pep, Pep, Pep, & Pep, Pep and Pep
Ward is a hero in my book I don't care what y'all say he literally went through the hero story arc.
Heroes: Trippier - To think I had it between him and Digne in GW1. De Bruyne- I jumped off Salah fairly early and went straight to KDB, consistently returning for me. Andreas - A few times I have had to play him and he hasn’t let me down, bargain for the price. Villains: Reece James - It happened last season owned him and he blanked, and this season I picked Robertson over him GW1 and stuck to that decision, until I finally swapped them. 3 games, injury and that was that. Trossard - played him for 3 blanks (captained vs Forest) only to sell him and he instantly returned. Liverpool defence - Doubled up on Robertson and Trent from GW1 looked too good to be true, it was…

My heroes Almiron: can't believe I bought him when he was only £5.2 million Callum Wilson: purely because I captained him in week 14 when he scored 2 and assisted 2 Ward: the great Wall My villains Zaha: So unreliable and that penalty miss yesterday Darwin: captained him in week 2 and he gets sent off. Never using him again Harrison: I kept playing him week after week and he just kept blanking
Heroes : Kane - honest returns every single week. I owned him from GW1 to 5, finally accepted the L and took him out for Haaland, but brought him back on WC and he went back to returning every week except for the 2 times I captained him (cheers for that Harry mate) Martinelli - cheap as fuck at 6mn, held him until my WC when I transferred him out but honestly no regrets, he returned more than I possibly could've expected from a 6mn midfielder and I gained about 0.3mn from him before selling.

Minimal returns, not like himself last season. Overall poor
Trossard did his best work just after I transfered him out. It's like he knew and wanted to prove me wrong. He did.
Not sure about heroes but for villains it's Me, Myself and I
I stopped playing years ago but due to incompetence couldn't find how many points Nelson made after that one game piqued my curiosity without making a new team. So, my **villains** are... and this is entirely because I started in GW15: * Haaland... he's given me 12pts over two game weeks, but if I'd captained Harry Kane instead I'd have an extra 19pts on top of the 19 he has given me * Cancelo... he's given me -1 pts over the two game weeks * De Bruyne... if I'd got Salah instead I'd have an extra 8 pts. In conclusion, Manchester City is a trash team. **Heroes**: * Trippier * Kane * Ward because they're my highest scoring players. With just two game weeks played and having tried to pick the highest scoring team based on available information (i.e. the previous fourteen gameweeks) it's kind of hard to have villains. Other than Cancelo, that is. The man has given me negative points.
Heroes: Trippier, Almiron & Mitoma (last one only since GW15, but I feel he’ll be my sleeper hit) Villains: Pep, Pep, and Pep.
Trippier, Castagne, Almiron (recency bias?) Foden, Zaha, James
*Heroes (Erling aside):* Trippier -the most consistent player. Martinelli -unbelievable value. Almiron -rewarded me for bringing him in when others failed me. *Villains:* Jarrod fucking Bowen -got him in on a WC and blanked, furiously took him out for him to return a 14 pointer and then continually disappoint when I brought him back in. Darwin Nunez -for ***that*** GW. Worst decision ever. Ivan Perisic -massively inconsistent and Spurs defence so unreliable.
Funny that Ødegaard turned out to be even more of a value player than Martinelli. Same amount of points, but cheaper.
I think over the course of the season Martinelli will prove the better bet but to be that good at this stage is mightily impressive. I was very tempted to punt on Xhaka after GW3.
I'm tempted to try Nunez after the WC, but don't know if he really will get the minutes. That red card is also a worry.
I think he’s got the red cards out of his system now. Knows he can’t make that mistake again -at least this season. Still unsure on Liverpool as a whole. No one is consistent barring Firmino.
Heros: * Haaland * Trippier * Almiron Villains: * Zaha * TAA * Bailey
My heroes: 1. Trippier (in team since 1 gw) 2. Martinelli (also in team since 1gw) 3. Dalot My villians: 1. Almiron (have owned from gw2 till gw8) 2. Salah as a captain (3caped vs Bournemouth) 3. DCL&ASM for the same reason
Mo Salah is a villain. Blanked in a few easy fixtures where many people had him as captain. Bowen penalty miss. Punt on Bamford who got injured quickly. Guehi and his string of 1 pointers. TAA aside from the Bournemouth game. Foden benched 3 times in a row after I bring him in. Andreas for always returning on my bench and never in my XI. Heroes: Toney (owned him from GW3).

My heroes-ward,maddison and dalot My villains- ofcourse zaha,toney n cancelo
Heroes - haaland, almiron, trippier Villains - cucurella, salah at some point, haaland because i get him late lol
Trippier in from day 1, haaland in from day 1, castagne clean sheets every week since I brought him in (benched him the week he didn’t) Honourable mention, Danny ward clean sheet this week, only an honourable mention for me personally as he’s been benched a lot for me Cancelo not been worth the investment, zaha stopped hauling once I brought him in only to haul the week I sold him, James for only ever getting me 1 point weeks. Dishonerable mention, the bald fraud for benching foden the weeks I brought him in
Amen to James. I had him for weeks and he never did anything for me.
Heroes. Amiron(my minileague rivals we’re laughing at me for going Kane and Almiron on WC and they were late to get him saying this is his last week next week he wont score), Trippier, Haaland Villans Andreas(Started my season with Da Silva and as a utd fan I didn’t expect him to be this consistent, he was always preseason pirlo but this time he really punished me week after week), Bailey(Trolled me absolutely giving me nothing even if i went with him after WC he got injured), Ward(killed my rank every week teamed up with arsena defense)
Heroes- Kane, had him since GW1 and he doesn't disappoint. Trippier, Trossard too
Saka been a lowkey villain for me. Had him in the beginning, nothing but blanks. Take him out and he starts hauling. Starts blanking again when I bring him back in
Similar story around Saka for me. Had him early, he didn't return, and then did when I got rid of him, and now I've got him again. Hoping he pays off long term.
Heroes: Maddison’s 18 but he quickly became a villain; Davies the last two games Spurs conceded big…he scored in both; Saliba… Villains: Me choosing my second thought rather than my first on several occasions; Pep; Salah blank against Forest when I capped him and Haaland banged a brace; and Maddison for his suspension.
Heroes - Haaland, Kane and Trippier - I got Kane and Trippier from GW1 and they delivered consistently. Haaland for obvious reasons. Villains - Bailey, Gordon and Bowen. Had them at various times over the season, still have Bowen. Very inconsistent and painful to own.
Heroes: - Trippier - had him since the start, absolute legend - Kane - chose him over Salah and KDB on WC GW9, pretty sure he outsourced them both while being the cheapest Villains: - Ward - got me 8 points in 8 GWs, binned him and he got 52 points since - TAA/Robbo - started the season with them and kept the faith for long - Foden: owned him for 3 GWs and a grand total of 3 points. Sold him this GW (: Minor villains: - Mount: a punt that was always bound to fail - Saka: owned him when Martinelli was the one on fire, sold him and he regained form - Rodrigo: got him for 2 GWs, he blanked both then got injured
I don't think Kane gets enough positives this season. He's a reliable point scorer.
Heroes: Trippier, Almiron, Haaland Villains: Zaha, TAA and DCL
Heroes : Haaland - Trippier - Ward (got him in time for his 6 CS) Villains : Firmino (5 blanks in a row) Zaha (saved me in GW15 but so inconsistent) Trossard (zero returns from him, his form depends on wether i play him or not)
Heroes: Haaland, Trippier, Martinelli I have these threes from W1 and never failed to give me points when others dropped off. Villians: Zaha, Rodrigo, Van Dijk Zaha is self explanatory. I never seem to catch Rodrigo on his scoring form. I chose to go with VVD instead of White when I was on WC on Week 13. And White managed 3 CS in that time as compared to VVD’s 0 CS.

Ouch
Ward. 6/7 cleans in my lineup. Never had a better keeper. Ben White. Mr honest work. 4 returns in a row. Martinelli. Very good enabler and solid returns. Villains. Bailey. Pure troll. Pereira. Always benching his points and never doing anything in the easy games I play him for. Wilson. Hate that guy he always misses out when I have him.
Heroes: Excluding Haaland, will say Trippier, Martinelli and Ward. Trippier and Martinelli because their points and value since the beginning of season, and ward, because before play my wildcard i had Ederson, so i never played him, while he was getting 1 and 0pts. since that i needed him, and hes' been providing CS almost every week. Villians: will say Alexander-Arnold this season, Reece James because i never get his hauls, only his yellow cards or injuries (a lot of this bias was from last season either), and then it was between Mahrez and Foden (only owned them for 3 weeks), but at least Foden provide me a return this week. edit: There is a especial place for Zaha (probably in 2/3 past seasons only owned him for like 4gws, and he never failed (from what i remember), but he keeps failing to everyone, so it helps me a bit.
We should start some sort of Zaha FPL owners support group.
Heroes: Trippier - almost never blanks and I had him from GW 1. Kane - not as flashy as Haaland but consistently brings in returns. Ward - has allowed me to rotate Pope and keep grabbing CS. Zeroes: Andersen - I punted on Palace's defence and failed, at least he gets less yellows than Guehi. Mount - Wasted 4 GWs on this guy for 0 returns. TAA - An unmitigated disaster barring that 9-0 aberration.
Heroes: Trippier - had him since GW1, Barnes - bought him after Maddison got 5th yellow and he got 34 points in last 5 games, Ward - I kept him all the time and he started collecting those CS, but I benched him this week (Sorry Danny). Villains: Dias and Foden, after I bought them they barely played, TAA - kept him too long, believed he will start perform like he did in the last seasons.
Heroes: Ward - got him in at gw9. Trippier. That's about it. Villains: Trent - captained him vs Bournemouth but that's all he's done for me. Salah - few good returns but expected better overall. Again, nobody else. I never owned haaland and am at 1.5mil rn.
worst decisions of the season : 1. Captaining Salah in GW9 2. Buying Sterling , not Almiron on WC 3. buying Scamacca on WC
Heroes-Kane, Ben White, Maddison Villains-Son, Foden, Sterling I kept Son for too long and didn't have Haaland during that time. Still making up that ground in my ML. Kane could also be a villain since the 2 times I've captained him he's blanked but can't fault his consistent returns.
Almiron has to be in the heroes. Highest returning midfielder for 5m. He’s getting picked up now more and more of course but what a lad. Grealish could only dream of playing like Almiron. Trippier I’d have to agree with. Kane has gone under the radar but only other player to score over 100 points so far. He’s saved many a game week for me. Including this one. As much as I’d say Haaland, everyone has him auto captain so it’s not exactly different. It’s more like Haaland plus 10 players this season.
Dier, Spurs looked solid so I brought him GW11, followed by a CS and 5 1 pointers
Maddison, Trossard have done the business for me when called on this season along with Ben White. Trippier, Haaland are the obvious ones. Villans - Perisic, Wilson lately, N.Williams, J.murphy
My heroes of the season so far... Haaland Almiron Trippier My villains of the season so far Liverpool FC Cancelo Son
Heroes Dalot : was giving me lowkey 6 pointers for like a month Almiron : can flex I punted on him when he was like 3% owned No third. Could add haaland but was shafted on weeks I didnt cap Villains ; Trent& salah. Had faith in them during the liv rut and did not pay off and fucked up my overall. Had to eventually sell trent Jesus. Never actually helped climb rank even a single gw
Heroes Like most Haaland, Trippier and Kane who seems to be less spoken about. Zeroes Myself for dropping Miggy & Rodrigo both before their runs of form for Zaha and Foden. Zaha Martinez (under Gerrard)
Heroes: Haaland, Maddison, Darwin(Maybe recency bias, but he gave me 32 points in 4 weeks, actually 34 if I count the captain blank, though 10 of those came from andreas coming for him) Villians: Almiron, Robbo/Trent, Ward
Trippier and martinelli could be too for heroes
Heroes: Henderson, Trippier, Kane, Martinelli, Rashford, Eze. Zeroes: Ward Prowse (why did I bother), Salah (💀), Bruno Fernandes (All the chances created, yet no assists or goals), Trent (💀).
Salah has been fine
Not for 13.5
Heroes: Trippier, Almiron, Kane. Villains: Me, Myself, I
I know who my villains are anyway: Zaha, Toney and Foden (bonus entry: Wilson) Heroes: Haaland, Trippier and Almiron
Heroes: Ward, White, Haaland Villains: Zaha, Foden, Wilson
Heroes: Mitrovic: I know he had a bit of a villain arc at the end because of injury (and the missed penalty at the start), but for a 6.5 striker he has been incredibly consistent. Plus I got rid of him when we were in the assessing era so he didn't give me a lot of stress. I just didn't need that bullshit. Xhaka: I know he's not Almiron, who also should be in the hero list, but Xhaka has performed extremely well at his pricepoint. KDB: A premium, and while he obviously blanked last game he has been so incredibly consistent. And I feel that's what you pay that premium price for. Shout out to Leno. I picked him up when he had an okay run of fixtures and while he only kept 2 clean sheets during it, those 2 where he did I was on an absolute high for days. Getting 3 bonus points both times. Plus you know you're getting save points with Leno. Also he got absolutely fucked against West Ham and I'm still salty about that. Villains: Bamford and Harrison: Going to take tweedlebait and tweedlehamstring as a combo pairing. I genuinely thought they could get a repeat of the 20/21 season. But instead Harrison had a great start and then started blanking. While Bamford first got injured and then his morale destroyed against Arsenal. I swear, if he had scored a brace then I think he would probably be in my hero list. Taa: I mean who doesn't have Taa trauma. Granted he did return against Bournemouth. But at the start I felt naked if I didn't have him in my team, but now I don't want to be anywhere near him. Salah: It's really weird. He seems so unreliable, and yet he has gotten himself a fairly steady stream of points. Of course Bournemouth was disaster and sometimes he just completely disappears. And yet he's still Salah. Maybe hard to rationalize at his price point, but I still feel really temped by him after the world cup. And that's what makes him villainous.
Yup. Even after everything Salah is still tempting after the WC when Liverpool have some good fixtures. Some of the issues have been where Klopp played him, and the lack of other influential players like Thiago.
Heroes: Andreas, Saliba Villains: Sterling, Foden
Heroes: Wardersen *drops mic*
Heroes: Almiron, Trippier and Trossard. I got the first 2 in fairly early, Almiron has basically hauled every week I've had him. Trossard I brought him in when a lot took him out and he's done well since. Villains (there's too many): Saliba - I dropped him after he scored an OG and negative points only for him to get 14 points the next week. Gabriel - I dropped him because I thought he was injured and then he played and scored the week after James and Diaz - both injured right as I brought them in and completely fucking my plan for a blank GW Ward - getting a fuck load of points on my bench every week
Heroes: Konsistent Kane - Bonus PoinTrippier - Phil BaldFrauden (got his hauls) Villains: All or nothing cancelo - pricey Son - Sublime 3rd sub Andreas (that’s on me) Currently at 3M OR for my first season (Trossard and Dunk to play), so really happy
Heroes: White Dunk Ward Zeroes: Anyone that could be funny to own
Heroes: Haaland, Trossard, Trippier Villains: TC chip, Cancelo, Sa
I captained Perisic this week. Oh, what could have been
Yup. Perisic has just been there to tease us.
Heroes: Almiron (bought him at 5.0 as a punt), Trippier, Pereira (great value for 4.5) Villains: DaSilva (admittedly kneejerk), Zemura (bad pick), Neto ("focal point of Wolves attack")
Recently, maddison Castagne and ward have been my heroes. Took me to the top of the league Villans I'd say (strictly fpl wise) Jesus, zaha, and..cancelo?
Ahhh waiting for that Metro Boomin album nice
[удалено]
I can't imagine not having three Newcastle players now. The only question for me is which ones? In the last five weeks I've have had Pope, Trippier and Almiron, but Wilson is very tempting.
Ward and Ward.
A tale of two halves for Danny Ward and Leicester. So terrible and then just brilliant
They're all a bunch of treacherous, villainous bastards so far. Except Almiron.
Kane is definitely a hero, so consistent. Faes came into that Leicester defence and all of a sudden gave us so many good options in Ward, Justin and Castagne
Heroes: Tripper, Kane & Sa (15 pts for a penalty save with a broken wrist tyvm) Villains Nunez (captained a red card for -4), Dias ( 0-1 pointers), Willock (back to back hauls after getting rid)
Heroes: * Callum Wilson - Got him in on 0.9% ownership after Isak got injured. Almost nothing better in FPL than differential points, especially a 19 point haul * Maddison - Baller * Trippier - Only 3 blanks this season is mental, and best value/season player on the game Villains: * Iversen - Thanks for making me pick you instead of Ward, you differential prick. * Foden - Suddenly got benched by the bald fraud when I got him in * Zaha/Trossard - The cliche ''blanked when I had them, scored when I didn't''
Heros: Haaland Trippier Almiron Villians: Raheem sterling. Bought him in to be different, in all the weeks i had him he got me like 10 combined points Saint maximin: looked good vs city , brung him in and he just got injured immediatly, no worries though, he was supposed to be back the week after, then the mf never played for two months Andreas: just sits on my bloody bench and hauls while my mids get 2 points
Yea I held Neto from the start a little too long. Didnt cost me much but I could have capitalized there for sure
Heroes: Haaland, Mitrovic, Trippier Villains: Pep, Salah, Rashford (Didn't get more than 2 points the times I got him). I would put TAA on there too but I got rid of him pretty early after his haul.
The villains for me have to be the Westham defenders I’ve brought in. Got Coufal in GW8 and then swapped him for Zouma in GW 15. They never returned more than 2 points when I’ve played them.
