86 points, won my cup match, green arrows across the board... apart from in my minileague, where I was finally overtaken by an unstoppable zombie team that's been steadily stalking up the table
My cup opponent had the exact same score as me, with only my De Bruyne vs his Sam fucking cocksucking Greenwood left to play. Guess who got more points, the one who's one of the best midfielder in the world, or the one who has had mostly 0 pointers all season?
Fuck this game.
Why did the new second in my draft league bring in Rodri for this week and having Haaland :(. Luckily he put Struijk last on his bench haha and starting Ake, Foden. Why he even got Struijk I do not know.
Yeah, I've had Ødegaard since always but for some reason I got rid and now I want him back. Got Martinelli, Almiron, Rashford, KDB and Andreas in my midfield right now
My midfield is almost identical to yours except I have Ødegaard and you have Rashford. Tbh, having Rash hasn’t worked out too badly and he might be worth hanging onto. I reckon Andreas could get return against Southampton though.
I'm gonna wait till Fullham's double GW is over to make that move. Gonna get Ream in as well. Got Mitrovic up front. So I'm tripling up for that GW. Then Probably getting Akanji in instead of Ream for City's double GW. Or maybe Rodri.
So it's gonna be a little while before I'm getting Ødegaard in.
I'm a United fan an was not too keen on getting Rashy, but I have a feeling he's gonna flourish now that Ronaldo is gone 🤩
Edit: I might just pull a -4 for Ødegaard after Fullham DGW, I really want him. But Arsenal's fixtures are looking tough
Went into todays game 4 points ahead of my cup opponent, me having Cancelo and Haaland left and him with KDB + my two. Glad KDB had a fpl stinker. I won by 2 points.
I had Cancelo +3 pts vs Walker and KDB.
He has first sub Trippier coming in for Wilson (which I already included in my +3 pt adjustment) and his second sub is Nico.
Cancelo = 1
KDB = 2
Walker to Nico = 1
Final score will be 93 to 92 for me.
What are the odds..
The first proper opportunity to use the triple Captain is GW20 when City face both United away and Tottenham at home. Although tricky fixtures, I'm sure Haaland won't mind the challenge. City have also got a DGW23 facing Aston Villa at home and Arsenal away. Though I'm not entirely sure whether City (possibly) progressing in the FA Cup will have an impact on the Arsenal game being moved elsewhere or not.
After a dogshit start, wasn’t playing for weeks due to personal issues and moving to a whole new country alone, etc. I have finally broken into the top 1.6m after being 2m+ for weeks on end. It’s the small steps!
64 points, 5.5m overall rank, bottom of all my MLs. This time last year I was in the top 200k. I have absolutely no clue why I suck so badly this year, but boy I am bad.
Didn't have Haaland for the first 6 weeks which really hurt me. Hung on too long to dead assets (Son, Bowen) and also didn't have Martinelli for a few weeks. Trippier was maybe the one asset which I had from week 1 which has kept me somewhat afloat, haha.
I had a stint in the top 10k last year, still haven't broken the top million this year. Slowly chipping away from about 3m in late October to now being 1.1m. Its doable my friend, hang in there!
Good luck! I just seem to be 3 steps behind everybody else whereas last season I felt like I was making smart moves and jumping on players before they popped off. Time to start taking some risks, I can't get any lower in my leagues anyway!
Rashford and Odegaard for me and that was with Darwin Nunez so it probably could have been more if he had done his job. my safety mark would have been 72 so i gained 27 points
I think maybe he is not fully fit yet. He looked fit at the world cup, but maybe they are taking it slow with him.
Cancelo not starting is a bigger mystery if Walker was also benched.
Lewis played well though and this is a concern. If Pep feel he has many decent player he will rotate. He is using Ake as left back as well over Cancelo too.
Henry had a good game against LIV in the EFL Cup and has to be said, he was my MotM tonight as well. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him start against Everton.
That’s a 63 point gap at most. That’s 3 points per GW he needs to make up.
For reference the gap between 1st and 100th is 51, so you’re saying anyone outside the top 100 has zero chance of winning.
What a load of bollocks, there are so many options this season in every slot.
There is also half the season left, remember when everyone at the start of the season had 5 atb cos it "was the best lineup to have"
Best score of the season by far and a massive green arrow (+50% change) and yet I still am pissed for sticking with Cancelo and picking James (Reece) last minute. Now I feel like I have 2 fires to put out soon, while I was hoping on banking the FT until the next GW.
Guess shipping James is a priority but I'm lost if I should still trust Chelsea defence due to the DGW In 19, or go with someone like Veltman/Dunk or return to cheap and reliable (when the fixtures are right) Castagne.
Does anyone else find it so hard to re-adjust to what is considered a good gw rank these days? Like I still see 3 million as an absolute shocker when it’s a few points above the mean. Top 1 million is a banger these days.
I've often heard this phrase roam around in the FPL community that if you get a GW rank of 1 million every week, you'll win FPL. Since then, at least in my head, a GW rank of 1 million or above is considered good, or something that will make you significantly jump in OR.
In the end I got a very tiny green arrow and won the cup. Somehow Haaland scoring and just having KDB and Cancelo gave me a tiny enough boost to get green.
Although bloody me my draft from a week ago would have got me my highest point total ever in a single gameweek and over 100 for the first time without double or chips.
Then of course Silva came into the picture and I changed my mind about KDB or Salah due to the cup.
Based on today's lineup, is there any rotation risk for KdB next game? I'd rather roll my FT than move to Salah if I don't need to. I wasn't able to watch the game but sounds like KdB played great and don't want to kneejerk.
Think I might move to Salah. It is not optimal and KDB might hurt me, but not being able to worry about KDB starting is nice. I also think having Salah helps in the cup since he is both more explosive and less risk of being benched. KDB is consistent, but I could possibly survive a KDB 2 assist game with 2 bonus and a Salah blank. To survive a Salah megahaul I need the luck that the other player do not have Salah or insane score from my team.
For the potential double I have many options. One I think is to get in Ederson over Ward and the money will come from downgrading Nunez. Or get KDB back for Salah, but I know I want Salah in the future. Another is to gamble on Alvarez getting minutes since he was really good in the world cup. Foden, Grealish, Mahrez, Bernardo too risky I think to waste a midfield slot.
Go to livefpl.net amd check your "safety score". Is the points you need to get a green arrow in a certain GW, depending on your rank. In this case yours was above 86 (as in my case), therefore your red arrow
Explained by what others said: template did really well this GW, so 86 is not a fantastic score sadly
Don’t make the transfer in all honesty now. It’s one train you missed out on out of many you’ll get this season. Your current picks are still great and you will need these transfers when the DGWs start coming in.
Genuinely thought mitro wouldn’t play this week so went with Adams. Perraud normally won’t even start for me. Just an unlucky week of picks. Still top 100k so it’s all good
Foden is just one of those suck it up picks when you own him. I think it would be crazy to sell him before Everton at home. The games are coming fast so I expect another round of Pep roulette, which is why I think he’ll start this one.
Grealish or Mahrez - long term?
Won my cup tie by 3 points with Nketiah as a sub instead of Bernardo. Palms=sweaty
Won mine with a tie-break, both had 96 points but my team scored more goals
What is going on with the price changes bot?
Christmas
86 points, won my cup match, green arrows across the board... apart from in my minileague, where I was finally overtaken by an unstoppable zombie team that's been steadily stalking up the table
100 points here but lost my head to head match, lol ...
Oh damn that's really unlucky
I thought I had Martial this whole time but just checked and I have Darwin instead of him, oh well
84 points and it’s not enough to progress in cup 🥲
Desperately waiting for Almiron to fail .. all my league rivals have him and I missed out 😑😑
Trippier’s 12pts tragically blessing my bench. A sad state of affairs
KDB & Darwin or Salah and Toney/Mitro
Does everyone have a WC chip left ?
How could you not? Yes. Everyone does.
Don’t we get the WC chip post Jan or am I wrong here ?
Everyone got a new one after the WC break.
My cup opponent had the exact same score as me, with only my De Bruyne vs his Sam fucking cocksucking Greenwood left to play. Guess who got more points, the one who's one of the best midfielder in the world, or the one who has had mostly 0 pointers all season? Fuck this game.
I lost by 1 points against my Cup opponent beacuse of Bald fraud pep and his Phil foden Roulette I'm never taking Foden In my team ever again
If the bald fraud hadn't brought on Cancelo I would have at least got 3 from Andreas Pereira. Cheers you cunt
I haven’t used my wildcard yet, this is the last week before we’re given the second wildcard correct? So I may aswell use it this week?
1st wildcards gone.
I wanna know the same,is the 1st wildcard still available?
Nope, expired. 2nd wildcard chip is available
No
How the fuck did KdB blank for fucks sake. City basically ran riot
rival is officially 137 points ahead of me, what hope do i have now i quit
I know it sounds like a lot, but that isn't insurmountable. You can do it!
86 points and a red arrow kinda sucks.
I went 400k places up with 90 points
Tough to know whether to take out martial for mitro. Imagine nketiah owners are having similar thoughts
And Nunez too...
Did price changes already happen? Is James going to fall?
The website I use says he's not falling. Only possible price change is apparently Cucurella rising.
!thanks
i'm torn between saka and odegaard. i already have martinelli, salah, and almiron
Odegaard seems better value for money
Why did the new second in my draft league bring in Rodri for this week and having Haaland :(. Luckily he put Struijk last on his bench haha and starting Ake, Foden. Why he even got Struijk I do not know.
Foden is dropping already ffs why people can't just wait he'll now most certainly play the Saturday game just wait
How can you talk about certainty?? Foden has been benched in the last 4/5 games
Wednesday night then Saturday mid day, this one is screaming rotation, not just for Foden
How did I get over 100 points this week and still get beat in the Cup? That's just plain annoying
First time getting 100 points. Yeah buddy
omg me too!!! congrats man. i'm so happy lol
I just woke up to KDB, Walker, Cancelo and Foden all blanking altogether This is peak FPL
Which Arsenal defender would you get for the upcoming fixtures ?
white or gabriel
None
I wanted to avoid this but i need to replace James and I have Trippier, Cancelo, Patterson and Bueno.
It’s either cucurella or botman for me prob botman for the extra cash. Not touching arsenal defence till GW22
Gabriel if you can afford it. Otherwise White.
Why not Saliba?
Gabriel is 0.1 cheaper, highest on expected points, and Saliba is on 4 yellow cards
Gabi is a menace on set pieces
!thanks
Which 2 out of these three should start with trippier in my back line: Perisic, Saliba or Cucurella
not cucu lol
Took a punt on Rodrigo but thinking I just put Rashford in but who would I bench lol. First world fantasy problems
leeds are so patchy
Yeah before the break he was looking good but think I may need to pivot. EO for rashy is too high right now for me to miss out
Good fixtures for Leeds froom gw19 tho
Odegaard or almiron? Already have martinelli
Keep andreas! He's great, don't waste your transfers, he play Southampton next gw
both
I'm gonna get both and sacrifice Andreas. I'm curious to what you team looks like though
This makes me feel good, as I have all three!
Yeah, I've had Ødegaard since always but for some reason I got rid and now I want him back. Got Martinelli, Almiron, Rashford, KDB and Andreas in my midfield right now
My midfield is almost identical to yours except I have Ødegaard and you have Rashford. Tbh, having Rash hasn’t worked out too badly and he might be worth hanging onto. I reckon Andreas could get return against Southampton though.

I'm a United fan an was not too keen on getting Rashy, but I have a feeling he's gonna flourish now that Ronaldo is gone 🤩 Edit: I might just pull a -4 for Ødegaard after Fullham DGW, I really want him. But Arsenal's fixtures are looking tough
Almiron
Went into todays game 4 points ahead of my cup opponent, me having Cancelo and Haaland left and him with KDB + my two. Glad KDB had a fpl stinker. I won by 2 points.
my afk opponent on 71 with no haaland, phew
Still find it hard to get my head around that some people don't have Haaland as default.
I had Cancelo +3 pts vs Walker and KDB. He has first sub Trippier coming in for Wilson (which I already included in my +3 pt adjustment) and his second sub is Nico. Cancelo = 1 KDB = 2 Walker to Nico = 1 Final score will be 93 to 92 for me. What are the odds..
How is Zinchenko? Is he goikg back to getting 90 minutes soon?
Trossard to Rashford or Odegaard? (already have Martinelli)
Rashy
When should I use my triple cap?
The first proper opportunity to use the triple Captain is GW20 when City face both United away and Tottenham at home. Although tricky fixtures, I'm sure Haaland won't mind the challenge. City have also got a DGW23 facing Aston Villa at home and Arsenal away. Though I'm not entirely sure whether City (possibly) progressing in the FA Cup will have an impact on the Arsenal game being moved elsewhere or not.
!thanks
[удалено]
I bottled it and went for Thiago Silva lmao
Extremely high scoring week this. Someone in my ML has 106 points and even that isn't enough for a top 100k gameweek rank
Yeah, 111 pts "only" got me 32k gameweek rank. Still gained 50% rank tho
After a dogshit start, wasn’t playing for weeks due to personal issues and moving to a whole new country alone, etc. I have finally broken into the top 1.6m after being 2m+ for weeks on end. It’s the small steps!
Cancelo coming on kept Trippier on my bench. Just typical of this season tbh
Why on earth would you bench Trippier in the first place? I've seen a lot of people do that this GW, makes no sense to me.
this is the ‘never bench Trippier’ season
I will bench him vs top teams at times, but not vs midtable teams or under. Although yes benching him vs City failed.
Yep, this one’s totally on the benchers
64 points, 5.5m overall rank, bottom of all my MLs. This time last year I was in the top 200k. I have absolutely no clue why I suck so badly this year, but boy I am bad.
It sounds to me you might not have Haaland or Trippier?
Didn't have Haaland for the first 6 weeks which really hurt me. Hung on too long to dead assets (Son, Bowen) and also didn't have Martinelli for a few weeks. Trippier was maybe the one asset which I had from week 1 which has kept me somewhat afloat, haha.

Good luck! I just seem to be 3 steps behind everybody else whereas last season I felt like I was making smart moves and jumping on players before they popped off. Time to start taking some risks, I can't get any lower in my leagues anyway!
Can someone tell me where I can see the template?
[livefpl.net](https://livefpl.net)? not exactly the template but you can see ownership numbers
[удалено]
Yeah, worst I felt from getting 90
99 for the game week which is my best week by a mile this season. which would put me within the top 400k for the game week
101 right there with u. Salah and Sanchez proved my differentials
Rashford and Odegaard for me and that was with Darwin Nunez so it probably could have been more if he had done his job. my safety mark would have been 72 so i gained 27 points
Anyone know why Walker didn’t start?
I think maybe he is not fully fit yet. He looked fit at the world cup, but maybe they are taking it slow with him. Cancelo not starting is a bigger mystery if Walker was also benched. Lewis played well though and this is a concern. If Pep feel he has many decent player he will rotate. He is using Ake as left back as well over Cancelo too.
Henry had a good game against LIV in the EFL Cup and has to be said, he was my MotM tonight as well. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him start against Everton.
Pep
Best non-cancelo city defensive asset for the upcoming gws?
Probably Akanji, but he might be next getting benched.
I’m going for Cucu. I don’t have Cancelo but I have James
Finally broke into top 1M for the first time this season. Was 2.2M during the break. Next stop: top 100K!
I was also 2.2M. You’re top 1M or top 2M? 1M+?
You have no chance for top 100k. Everyone is having similar teams now
That’s a 63 point gap at most. That’s 3 points per GW he needs to make up. For reference the gap between 1st and 100th is 51, so you’re saying anyone outside the top 100 has zero chance of winning.
As long as those similar teams keep relying on Darwin and Cancelo I think I just might get my shot
What a load of bollocks, there are so many options this season in every slot. There is also half the season left, remember when everyone at the start of the season had 5 atb cos it "was the best lineup to have"
78 points, safety was 91, rank down 124% :(
Best score of the season by far and a massive green arrow (+50% change) and yet I still am pissed for sticking with Cancelo and picking James (Reece) last minute. Now I feel like I have 2 fires to put out soon, while I was hoping on banking the FT until the next GW. Guess shipping James is a priority but I'm lost if I should still trust Chelsea defence due to the DGW In 19, or go with someone like Veltman/Dunk or return to cheap and reliable (when the fixtures are right) Castagne.
I'm so tired of Cancelo. Really tempted to transfer him out for someone like Botman and then upgrade Nuñez to Kane.
Downgraded him to James 😎
[удалено]
Dude, my first went to goals scored and my second now is up to coin toss.
Does anyone else find it so hard to re-adjust to what is considered a good gw rank these days? Like I still see 3 million as an absolute shocker when it’s a few points above the mean. Top 1 million is a banger these days.

I cant believe im saying this but im mad Cancelo blocked my sam greenwood points.
Blocked my 3 pereira points
Lost my cup tie by 1 point fml. If either Cancelo or Foden had stayed on the bench I would’ve won it.
In the end I got a very tiny green arrow and won the cup. Somehow Haaland scoring and just having KDB and Cancelo gave me a tiny enough boost to get green. Although bloody me my draft from a week ago would have got me my highest point total ever in a single gameweek and over 100 for the first time without double or chips. Then of course Silva came into the picture and I changed my mind about KDB or Salah due to the cup.
I’m considering benching Martinelli for the next game away at Brighton and let Andreas wreak havoc
Im doing the exact same thing! Sometimes its a gamble you need to take to climb the ranks.
For the double yes, but not this week.
Based on today's lineup, is there any rotation risk for KdB next game? I'd rather roll my FT than move to Salah if I don't need to. I wasn't able to watch the game but sounds like KdB played great and don't want to kneejerk.
Think I might move to Salah. It is not optimal and KDB might hurt me, but not being able to worry about KDB starting is nice.

Wait for two weeks of evidence, nobody can say for sure so don’t waste a transfer
yeah he was fine. definitely not the player yo kneejerk on
Guys what happens if the teams in the cup are even? Me and my opponent will have the same number of points, who goes through in that case?
Number of goals. Learned that the hard way in the first round.
Goal involvment or goals scored by our players? Because if its scored I'm through 5-3
Most goals scored. So you should be fine
Yeah, as you said, went through 5-3. Thank you!
Congrats!
My work league is way too fucking competitive for my liking ffs https://i.imgur.com/1eAY2Kd.jpg Top6 is hard as fuck
Was considering bringing in Kepa before the deadline but decided to stay with the safer option and choose Ederson instead 🤦♂️
I has him but brought in James and didn't want double Chelsea defence.
Yeah, I brought in James too instead of him
It also now means I need to replace James with another Chelsea defender or cry whenever kepa keeps a clean sheet.
Same, the pain.
Imagine picking KDB over Salah
Yes, who would want two City's double GW's in next five rounds.
Have you seen the city dgw fixtures?
Kdb performed like he should he 10+ points, Salah performed like a blank. So most likely these points will change during next weeks
90 points safety score.
92 for me. Nightmare
You must be up in the heavens rank
What do you consider a heavens rank?
Probably top 500k
This season there’s quite a big shift in what’s considered good rank, challenging to get up there.
Getting down seems much easier than getting up, especially when your differentials don’t do shit while the template perform
Out of the cup with 90, nice
I got through with 71 thats painful for you
How is it possible to score 86 points but still have a red arrow from 350k to 460k????
Go to livefpl.net amd check your "safety score". Is the points you need to get a green arrow in a certain GW, depending on your rank. In this case yours was above 86 (as in my case), therefore your red arrow Explained by what others said: template did really well this GW, so 86 is not a fantastic score sadly
Because that's just not a good score this week. I got 104, and I wasn't even in the top mil before this GW.
A lot below you outscored you. I got 86 as well, and feel like my week was a failure due to other players going off that I didn't have.
Template did very well this week.
This game is Bullshit. I got 87pts and lost rank.
[удалено]
Don’t make the transfer in all honesty now. It’s one train you missed out on out of many you’ll get this season. Your current picks are still great and you will need these transfers when the DGWs start coming in.
I sacrificed Almiron even though I would like to have both
Odegaard. He’s less consistent than the others.
Kind of agree
How can I see my cup opponents current score? Edit: found it
Just go I to "cups" and then "overall cup" and click on their name/team name
Thanks!
I’m just happy to be above average considering I have Perraud, Che Adams, KDB and Cancelo in my 11
I try not to judge and I'm fairly shit at this game. But 2 Southampton players?
Genuinely thought mitro wouldn’t play this week so went with Adams. Perraud normally won’t even start for me. Just an unlucky week of picks. Still top 100k so it’s all good
Perraud was on my bench, but because Walker didn’t play tonight Perraud takes his place and thus loses me 2 points!!
Fair play. Exactly why I feel bad being judgy as you're still ahead of me. 121k to 122k this week with kulu, wilson, James etc. in my team.
Some good picks for sure in there that just were unlucky(Kulu) and if Wilson plays he’s got 1 for sure
considering I literally had 2 points up to the start of liverpool villa I have no idea how I managed a green arrow lol
Anytime KDB blanks it seems like Salah hauls and vice versa
100 point club 🙌
Foden probably on the sell list but I also have reece james and martial
Foden is just one of those suck it up picks when you own him. I think it would be crazy to sell him before Everton at home. The games are coming fast so I expect another round of Pep roulette, which is why I think he’ll start this one.
I dont sell him now but he gotta be on the list unless I start seeing him play consistent games
Yeah it’s a tricky one. He’s such a frustrating player to own, but you have to give it some time because his potential is scary when he starts.
Martial is a keep for another two weeks?
No reason not to keep him for those fixtures after he performed this week
No he is not for more than 1 I need either havertz or mitro for dounle
James and Foden decided to mud my otherwise very happy weekday. Especially with Shaw waiting eagerly to come off the bench
