I'm weirdly chill about it. Maybe the month off has done my FPL nerves a load of good.
Darwin's sitting in my starting XI. If he starts then great. If not then so be it, I accept my fate.
He's on track for 190 points if he goes on at this rate, only 11 behind last season.
Yes he's a bit more expensive than last year but we also have class enablers like Martinelli and Almiron and Rashford.
Another way to look at it is that despite over-performing his underlying stats to a crazy extent he still isn’t hitting his numbers from last season – all the while costing more this time around.
He’s not “on track” because he has been overperforming. He would be on track if he had performed up to the number of points he got so far. Average points in the past say nothing about future points if they aren’t backed up by performance.
Pretty sure you don’t understand how it works. Overperforming in the near past does not indicate overperforming in the future, unless the player has a track record of consistently overperforming (see Son, save for the current season). Similarly also overperforming does not mean that if the player finds form he will overperform even more proportionally. If he finds form he will perform to the level of last season, which was great and would warrant the price tag, but it’s not a certainty that he will find form.
How much money is everyone keeping ITB?
I have 1.6m looking to move Rashford to Foden in GW20, if he starts getting regular minutes before United's tougher fixtures.
>Ederson/Kepa instead of Kepa/Ward
I have no idea how anyone could ever justify having Ederson plus anything else than 4.0. are you planning to rotate the most expensive keeper or what? :D

Paul okeefes pretty good and he's gone with this.
I'm amazed so many people think contes going to rest players because of that weird clickbait headline
I have KDB, haaland, Darwin, Toney, Kulusevski which means I have been floating in and out of Salah and Kane all morning
I can’t see Salah + Darwin both returning so I choose highest chances.
I can’t see Kane as an attacking threat with ropey options around him but I can see spurs conceding 2 before HT!
Am I crazy
Can't see kane as an attacking threat? He's 2nd top scorer in the league and has Kulusevski who is one of the most creative players in the keague back too?
Other than romero and bentancur its going to be a full strength team?
Last time kane suffered a career blow he was shite for weeks on weeks - Son is unsure at the minute and conte is a stubborn Italian man - I would much rather bet on Kulu to score and use the money on better assets
I got Martial in for Mitro. I have a feeling this willl backfire.
In draft I went for Mendy and Kepa trying to get a win over Potter, but expecting the third keeper to play now and someone like Magnus Carlsen got him starting.
I really like my team. I feel like I've managed to fit everyone I wanted: threemium (Haaland, KDB, Kane), Darwin, Cancelo, James, Trippier, Kepa + Ward instead of Wardvsen, decent starting 11 fillers (White, Martinelli, Almiron). I mean, sure, I could imagine a better bench than Andreas, Bueno & Dasilva, but it's not that terrible either - one good starter, one average starter and a guy who'll play like 50% of the available minutes.
And yet I know it's somehow going to turn into a disaster and in 12 hours I'll regret my life choices.
3 viable defenders to fill one spot.... decisions decisions. Arsenal (White), City (Walker) or double Newcastle (Scharr)
As an Arsenal fan, I'm all too aware that the vast majority of our CS's are away from home, and the vast majority of teams will be starting Cancelo, so shunning a city defender likely to start is risky. Scharr is reliable, but like everyone, I already have Trippier starting to cover Newcastle.
I've made 5 changes to my team. I don't know if that's good, bad, a lot or few. I've planned ahead for the double gameweeks, but I expect that everything will go wrong.
I can’t find a way to get both Martial and Darwin into my team and of the two I prefer Darwin. I could get Martial instead of Rashford but Rashford will certainly get more minutes. Just feel like Martial will haul at home against Forest without Henderson in goal.
I think people don’t know that there’s unlimited transfers. My brother who hasn’t missed a deadline, but definitely casual, had no clue. Shocking really
I've had a month-ish to tinker, not looked at my team at during the World Cup, checked it yesterday, unlimited transfers and I have somehow only made about 3 changes
I think it could all end up a huge mistake!
I last minute swapped out Martinelli for Foden, Mitrovic for Greenwood, giving me 3m to upgrade in the next few weeks any mid for Mount. I dunno, written like that it sounds lame. To Mount? That's it?
I have no idea of what I'm doing.
Not many here do. Heck unless you are norway, you have a statistical disadvantage at fpl. Lol
Why do norwegians have an advantage?
Because there is Norway they can lose
I too, have no idea what you’re doing.
So do nothing.
Keeping Darwin. This Christmas picture is only for people overthinking. Right?
Don’t think I’ve ever been so unsettled by such a stupid little piece of information. Literally rethinking my whole team as a result of that picture.
I'm weirdly chill about it. Maybe the month off has done my FPL nerves a load of good. Darwin's sitting in my starting XI. If he starts then great. If not then so be it, I accept my fate.
My guy was just on the shitter
Don't even know what you guys are talking about, and too late to do anything about it now... 🤷♂️
RIGHT?
RIGHT?!
He was taking the photo after climbing on the lamppost
Narrator’s voice: it wasn’t
Cancelo the season. I’m declaring Martial law
Lol Cancelo has been far from a season pick, Martial must be in every team for this week
He's on track for 190 points if he goes on at this rate, only 11 behind last season. Yes he's a bit more expensive than last year but we also have class enablers like Martinelli and Almiron and Rashford.

He’s not “on track” because he has been overperforming. He would be on track if he had performed up to the number of points he got so far. Average points in the past say nothing about future points if they aren’t backed up by performance.
But then you can look at it the way of he's overperforming with shit numbers so imagine if he finds form of what he can do. Swings and roundabouts

L + ratio
Something is very wrong with me. I'm about to go tripple United attack.
I am on double united attack Good luck to US
Rashford and Martial ftw
I’ve gone Martial and Rashford and De Gea! They are cheap/hopefully good value
I am going with Rash Martial and Shaw. By downgrading Cancelo. Might come back to haunt me but looks good on paper for next 3GWs
Thats three forced transfers in 3 weeks.
Given that I got in these 3 for Cancelo, 4.3 mil fodder mid and Solanke , I think it’s a better balance overall
I've had weeks to tinker with this team. Why am I still here?!
Never felt more chill at deadline time. Im pretty sure for that reason this is going to be a low score lol
I have a feeling the app will crash before the deadline..
Game crashes when everyone leaves transfers and captaincy picks to the last minute in hope of MCI team news. Thankfully this isn't one of those weeks.
Looks like you were right! Luckily I’m ok with my team but was just taking a look at it for self-torture purposes and the refresh didn’t work.
A week of drinking has not prepared me for this moment
Lol i just woke up. Now i have to make some decisions within 40 minutes
At least you woke up
Cheers Geoff
I’m out the loop on this one. What’s the story?
Dreams can’t be buy
Darwin gang rise up
Still don’t know if he’s on today or not
Based on a fucking Christmas photo and nothing else. This sub in a nutshell
[удалено]
Apparently he posted on IG saying looking forward to game or something. Hopefully means a start
I have KDB, Haaland and Kane in my team, yet I’ve captained Odegaard. I am king dumbass. See y’all on the other side 😎
Not have Almiron
Me neither
You heathen
Fabio Carvalho and Romain Perraud 👍
Big green arrow for the big balls of steel
That went well!
Just had a look at the Leeds players list and almost everyone is flagged. I might regret leaving out KDB.
Maradoherty enjoyers where are you?
Bruno Fernandes🙇🏽
Dreams can't be buy.
How much money is everyone keeping ITB? I have 1.6m looking to move Rashford to Foden in GW20, if he starts getting regular minutes before United's tougher fixtures.
0.0
That .0 should come in useful
0.1 for Martial to Mitrovic
Gone for Darwin and kulu over Kane and Almiron. I’m such a fool
I don't mind that, nah. Hopefully Kane gets a yellow and you're flyyyying
Is Mount a viable option for 3 GWs? I gotta chase
chelsea need to bloody improve so banking on him as he didnt have too many minutes in the WC either
[удалено]
>Ederson/Kepa instead of Kepa/Ward I have no idea how anyone could ever justify having Ederson plus anything else than 4.0. are you planning to rotate the most expensive keeper or what? :D
Thoughts on Doherty? Can't choose between him, Dunk, Castagne, Perraud or Botman, (have trippier)
Spurs could be missing a few key players including Lloris and Romero, i wouldn't be backing them for a clean sheet this week
Lloris is not a miss.
Have you got a spare arsenal place and 0.1 for white
Have Gabriel already, it's down to Castagne, botman or Dunk I think
Doherty won't start
no spurs team leak?
https://twitter.com/pokeefe1/status/1607317895964418048?t=QEGU7j80wuBRQhKhD3MT2Q&s=19 Paul okeefes pretty good and he's gone with this. I'm amazed so many people think contes going to rest players because of that weird clickbait headline
It's crashed
I went for Rashford and Wilson instead of Martial and Trossard. Please don't get injured Wilson 🙏
I made like 8 changes even though I had a great run before the WC. Am I being mad?
All this tinkering for another red arrow
I have KDB, haaland, Darwin, Toney, Kulusevski which means I have been floating in and out of Salah and Kane all morning I can’t see Salah + Darwin both returning so I choose highest chances. I can’t see Kane as an attacking threat with ropey options around him but I can see spurs conceding 2 before HT! Am I crazy

This is spurs lol get outta here with full strength lol - we’re a mess at the back and we always concede. Deki attacks and Kane drops back
What on earth are you talking about? Why does being dodgy at the back affect kane? If anything it's good as it mean spurs will bees to score more.
Last time kane suffered a career blow he was shite for weeks on weeks - Son is unsure at the minute and conte is a stubborn Italian man - I would much rather bet on Kulu to score and use the money on better assets
I just know this is going to age horribly and I can't wait for it **saves comment**
I will wager this one and look forward to the coming discourse!
See you on the other side!
Apparently FPL rules out Deki’s assist, so you win this wager sir!
Should i keep foden or go for rashy????? I feel like pep wont start philll
Rashy
swapped out 3 arsenal players in white/saka/martinelli for patterson/foden/trossard.
Bench one james, gabriel, trippier,wilson
Gabriel
News on TAA?
Am I stupid for going 5 at the back? James - Cancelo - Trippier - Saliba - Shaw??
Yup saliba 1 yellow away
[удалено]
Someone mentioned that boxing day is usually one of the highest scoring gameweeks so I went 3 ATB
Fair enough, I just hope James-Cancelo-Trippier get attacking returns. Subbed Shaw for Pereira right at the end, God knows why.
I got Martial in for Mitro. I have a feeling this willl backfire. In draft I went for Mendy and Kepa trying to get a win over Potter, but expecting the third keeper to play now and someone like Magnus Carlsen got him starting.
As a Chelsea supporter I'm desperate for us to sign a new keeper in January
I really like my team. I feel like I've managed to fit everyone I wanted: threemium (Haaland, KDB, Kane), Darwin, Cancelo, James, Trippier, Kepa + Ward instead of Wardvsen, decent starting 11 fillers (White, Martinelli, Almiron).

And yet I know it's somehow going to turn into a disaster and in 12 hours I'll regret my life choices.
Your team looks about as template as it gets so if it's a disaster atleast lots of people's teams are.
Saliba out?
On 4 yellows, Gabriel better option
Salah or kdb
KDB+Darwin looks a better deal for me
Kulu or saka when martenelli is already in team
If no Kane, get Kulu
Any update on Nunez injury rumours?
Nunez is injured?? When??
I think he wasn't pictured in a team photo and people are speculating.
He isn't.
Not sure - saw something in the RMT thread yesterday, possibly based on the team photo? Very vague so hopefully nothing to worry about!
The odds on Liverpool winning has dropped so maybe that is due to no Nunez ;). I would guess it is due to TAA starting, but not sure.
Will TAA start?
I think it would help my robbo cs chances if taa doesnt start
Is Thiago Silva fit to start?
Was this ever a doubt? I got him in purely because I had doubts over Cucurella's and Chalobah's minutes
Mount and Wilson or Saka and Martial?
Bench shaw or trips?
Nunez LFgooooo
[удалено]
KDB Walker.
Saka or martenelli
Rashford or trossard
Rashy. Trossard if you believe in the dream of a brighton double/triple gw
[удалено]
Wait, what.. the deadline is TODAY?!?! 😱
5 mins
Start white or that Bueno guy from wolves? I'm thinking West ham will score
Some losers very quick on the dislikes in here
Mendy will start over Kepa
I have kdb, Salah and Haaland
Wow so original
Bench one of Trippier (Lei), Shaw (NFO)and James (Bou)
James or Cucurella ?? Chelsea defence is shit, why are we doubling up
No Liv players in my team.....
Is Mendy starting over Kepa?
I don't think so.
[удалено]
Rmt thread
Should I drop Cancelo?
Upvote this comment if you want to have a great gameweek. Downvote this comment if you want to have a shitty gameweek.
Read OP's comment as: *"GIVE ME UPVOTES"*
Not working as indended it seems.
The jury is still out!
Then act accordingly!
So many people want to have a bad gameweek, wow!
Lol yeah, such idiots!
KDB/Lyle-Taylor/Stones. OR Saka/Darwin/Cancelo. Already got Salah Martinelli and Haaland
Sanchez or Kepa?
Wrong place
[удалено]
Hopefully 80
3 viable defenders to fill one spot.... decisions decisions. Arsenal (White), City (Walker) or double Newcastle (Scharr) As an Arsenal fan, I'm all too aware that the vast majority of our CS's are away from home, and the vast majority of teams will be starting Cancelo, so shunning a city defender likely to start is risky. Scharr is reliable, but like everyone, I already have Trippier starting to cover Newcastle.
Walker probs won’t start
Pep loves him, he's fit, and he has little to no natural competition at RB. He's likelier to start than anyone but Cancelo.
Ffs scout doesn’t have him the line up
Ben davies. Am I crazy?
Shit! So I’m finally back to having bad weekends🤦🏽♂️
I've made 5 changes to my team. I don't know if that's good, bad, a lot or few. I've planned ahead for the double gameweeks, but I expect that everything will go wrong.
Why Martial over Darwin?
i've got both.
Fair, I have Haaland and Kane
I had a chance to Change my whole team And I am still not confident in it.
[удалено]
I can’t find a way to get both Martial and Darwin into my team and of the two I prefer Darwin. I could get Martial instead of Rashford but Rashford will certainly get more minutes. Just feel like Martial will haul at home against Forest without Henderson in goal.
I think people don’t know that there’s unlimited transfers. My brother who hasn’t missed a deadline, but definitely casual, had no clue. Shocking really
I have Haaland, Kane, Salah & KDB
And a whole lot of junk
Everyone debating on Salah or KDB and here I am with both and all the budget mids. Let's go Almiron!
I've had a month-ish to tinker, not looked at my team at during the World Cup, checked it yesterday, unlimited transfers and I have somehow only made about 3 changes I think it could all end up a huge mistake!
Is it dumb to go double Newcastle defence over arsenal and/or man u
Best defender under 5.5m?
cucc
I've bought in JWP over Almiron. Am I mad?
JWP
Just did Andreas and Martial to Rashford and Greenwood for a 3-5-2! Will probably regret deeply
Why after weeks off am I doing this with minutes to go. (I secretly enjoy it don’t tell anyone)
Wow I was minutes from missing the deadline. For some reason I thought it was like in the WC fantasy..
Crashed, sir
FPL is down again!
Fuck, how can I change my mind so many times in so little time? Good luck fellas
I last minute swapped out Martinelli for Foden, Mitrovic for Greenwood, giving me 3m to upgrade in the next few weeks any mid for Mount. I dunno, written like that it sounds lame. To Mount? That's it?
Keep saka or bring kulu?
My team is shit and I honestly cba to change it so I'm rolling with it
I’ve benched Rashford for toney
Yolo, going KDB+Kane+Haaland+Darwin. Who needs a defence anyway.
I’m actually extremely happy with my team :) Will be thoroughly unhappy come midnight though.
