[trail rose]

[lavish needle]

Work at my local private beach get paid minimum there it’s like $15.5/hour but I’m on my phone or talking to people at the beach for more than half the time.

Second I work at my dads business help him out but not as much

Third I’m on an internship at a hedgefund/firm so that’s nice

[void whale]

[lavish needle]

At my internship rn actually

[storm gyro]

[chrome flint]

Guys can we move this to #offtopic thanks!!

[trail rose]

[trail rose]

[void whale]

[chrome flint]

No problem Chief! Keep up that FPL grind ✊

[trail rose]

[trail rose]

im better at rmt no cap

[novel nacelle]

should i go for steele

[trail rose]

you havent seen my grinds

[void whale]

[trail rose]

@flint crag are you still cooking with richy

[void whale]

why richy lmao

1 goal last season

[trail rose]

got maddo now

[tough vault]

These unemployed children need to get a fucking job

[chrome flint]

You're having nightmare lad, Steele isn't great even if he starts every game, let me help you out. The only keeper options are Onana, Johnstone, Flekken or Sanchez only if kepa leaves

[trail rose]

your job is to lick toilets 😭

[tough vault]

Not true

[trail rose]

[void whale]

whats ur job

[novel nacelle]

is this a copypasta?

[chrome flint]

Proof?

[trail rose]

@jade meteor please confirm

[tough vault]

My toilet is dirty

[novel nacelle]

why not go for steele

all the brighton fans think he starts

[void whale]

maybe u didnt clean it cuz u dont get money to do it

[storm gyro]

brigthon fans are idiots

[chrome flint]

Let me have a look at that my friend

[void whale]

beef and kaki are offended

[void whale]

not here pls

dm

[chrome flint]

Because even if he starts his baseline Bps and saves are worse than flekken/johnstone

[novel nacelle]

didnt he have the 2nd highest bps last season

[trail rose]

im rocking with this

[chrome flint]

Not sure, but bha defence isn't that good

[hardy vault]

Rash to Bruno so I can get away from starting Udogie (->Estu) ?

[chrome flint]

And the attackers steal bps from him

[storm gyro]

9/11

[novel nacelle]

brighton defence will likely be better than brentford and palace

[void whale]

telling u now jackson is overrated

[trail rose]

he isnt

im getting him cause of pre season

[ancient temple]

hes not lol

[void whale]

watch him not cook

[ancient temple]

7m as a chelsea striker

thats great value

[void whale]

he will cook but wont get that much g/a

[ancient temple]

good fixtures

[hardy vault]

Guys, Rash to Bruno so I can start Estu over Udogie?

Fine

[chrome flint]

Not true, palace 4th across the whole season, Brighton were like midtable

[void whale]

when were palace 4th

[chrome flint]

xGA

[rough sundial]

True but usually formation change is difficult as to plan out which player you want next etc and does it affect other players that is coming in I suppose.

[languid burrow]

our teams have ended up pretty similiar if kane goes

[ancient temple]

i need to have a kane draft ready in case he stays

[rough sundial]

No Shaw 😭

[acoustic locust]

thats basically my team but Johnstone is Martinez and Jackson is Shaw

[rough sundial]

Why not Garnarcho instead of Antony?

[jade meteor]

nailed

[rough sundial]

Oh

[jade meteor]

[storm gyro]

antony to richarlison if kane leaves?

[chrome flint]

Pickford

Are you genuinely asking gec to remove a united player

[rough sundial]

I like the Shaw pick
Shaw owners

[hardy vault]

Micky van De Ven enters the fray. Turner updated to Nottingham

[storm gyro]

will we know about kane before deadline tomorrow btw?

[patent moon]

You feel ok about going with a 4 atb?

[jade meteor]

no i hate 4atb

but needs must, budget reasons

[flint crag]

Are you not?

I'm at work so ootl, idk what's going on

Happy to revert onana Richy to Johnstone maddo if it's the meta way to go

[slim beacon]

I'm off Salah again lol

[chrome flint]

Still think maddison is better than rich even if kane leaves

Tbh

Whoever gets pens is better

Cos it's either maddo/son/rich

[static anvil]

Your love blinds you

[void whale]

ur actually going antony?

[hardy vault]

Hes a starter at least

[novel nacelle]

id rather play chuk than antony tbh

[novel nacelle]

i am definitely overthinking rn

[hardy vault]

Yee. I’ve settled

[novel nacelle]

watkins udogie vs jackson dias

tough

[hardy vault]

Is it tho?

[novel nacelle]

watkins looked so good under emery

and if i get watkins i can downgrade to jackson

[hardy vault]

It’s decided then

We can be Udogie bros together

🤜🤛

[trail rose]

[trail rose]

dont need him

[trail rose]

yeah

[rough sundial]

Can you look at my rmt

[trail rose]

[trail rose]

nah thats mad

[void whale]

alr bye

goodnight lads

[modest zenith]

i slept from 7am-4pm

gn

[jade meteor]

why not wtf

[hardy vault]

Lets hope Haaland doesn’t score tommorow so all the people triple capping dies

[novel nacelle]

i rly cannot decide between watkins and jackson

[chrome flint]

Send team and what you thinking

[novel nacelle]

either this, or watkins to jackson then mbeumo> maddison or udogie>dias

also not sure on mbeumo but its a 6.5 price point so doesnt rly matter

[chrome flint]

I mean

If Ortega starts would you get him

[novel nacelle]

yes

[chrome flint]

Cos Ortega and Fernandes gets you maddison over mbeumo

[novel nacelle]

i dont want to drop rash though

[chrome flint]

You gotta make a sacrifice somewhere

[novel nacelle]

i would do johnstone and udogie to ortega and gabriel

[chrome flint]

I think sticking with Watkins is a better play ig

[novel nacelle]

rly

the problem is jackson could just bang

[chrome flint]

Idky you wouldn't get Fernandes and 5.0 for udogie tho imo but you're set on rash

Yeah and you can just get him

Can't do that that other way around

[novel nacelle]

bcz i think rashford is gonna do a lot better than fernandes

if he hits 20 goals, fernandes isnt gonna come close

and i also have no clue which 6.5 is better

[chrome flint]

Mbeumo/diaby for me

[novel nacelle]

feels not great playing mbeumo and udogie, but brentford have a great first 4

https://fantasytipsters.com/fpl-the-watkins-dilemma/

dunno how reliable this is but its interesting

[hardy vault]

So you’re telling me I need Watkins now smh

[marble sun]

what did i just read

[patent moon]

Don’t think you have to worry about people that TC on gw1.

[hardy vault]

[novel nacelle]

I can't stop thinking I will for sure want Jackson for gw 3-6

[languid burrow]

my whole preseason thought process has essentially revolves around spurs/chelsea GW3

starting with mart pedro instead of a 6.5 jackson is a fun differential - but it means no spurs attack

[novel nacelle]

I've switched to this rn but I'm rly undecided

[upbeat mountain]

Thats funny, because thats two teams i havent even thought about at all 😄

Both unreliable

[modest zenith]

I have jp but 1.5itb for jackson gw3

[languid burrow]

which is why rich being an option is so huge

[novel nacelle]

Like

Watkins is safe and a talisman

[modest zenith]

Start with richy or go mbeumo to richy gw3 hmm

[languid burrow]

do u have a 6.5 mid? bc imo mart outscores every single 6.5 mid by 4 GW1+2

[novel nacelle]

But if you just look at the chelsea fixtures

How can u not want jackson

[modest zenith]

Yes #1139064010805870662

1.5 not 1.0now

[novel nacelle]

Triocta whats ur current draft

Assuming no ortega starting

The guy who put out the ortega tweet says he has a 25% chance of starting

[modest zenith]

Is that a risk i could take to hog a 3rd city slot ehhh

nah

If i had 1 city id get him over turner/areola and start him just incase

[patent moon]

Cause he’s a not proven striker for Chelsea.

[novel nacelle]

he plays luton, forest and bournemouth in a row

[patent moon]

I can see the potential but don’t get how everyone is going for him. Have we forgotten Chelsea’s lousy attack last season and Chelsea’s history with strikers?

[novel nacelle]

well last season they had no strikers

[patent moon]

Remember Werner, remember Lukaku, auba…

[chrome flint]

New ownership, sold whole squad, brand new squad, brand new manager

Literally a whole different team

[novel nacelle]

auba didnt play last season

[languid burrow]

sadge

probably a 3-4-3 ibr i’ll look at it more towards deadline tmrw

wanna know whether kane leaves or stays

[novel nacelle]

watkins or jackson

[untold crater]

watkins

easier to transfer him to whoever looks good after a few weeks

[novel nacelle]

well unless chelsea look shocking

ur gonna want jackson from gw3

[languid burrow]

i’m going jackson most likely

[eternal wharf]

5.2k messages wtf

[novel nacelle]

dias not an option now

so i cant go watkins/dias

could go watkins/stones

but gvardiol might start now

[quaint trout]

Gvardiol over stones ?

[untold crater]

surely gvardiol and stones both start

i cba with the headache im going without both

[hardy vault]

Rumours that Richarlison is injured

[novel nacelle]

if gvardiol is leaked to start ill go with him instead of estu

[hardy vault]

If Kane leaves and Richy is injured Maddison looks YUCK

[chrome flint]

why dias not an option? what have i missed

[novel nacelle]

not travelling with the squad appparently

[chrome flint]

can i get the link?

[novel nacelle]

FPL Raptor (Ross) (@FPL__Raptor)

According to the same source as last season:

❌ Ruben Dias will NOT be travelling with the Man City squad to Burnley for GW1.

✅ Gvardiol will be travelling with the squad.

As promised, my Man City source has also made his own FPL account - @FPLMaineRoad! Drop him a follow…

this is funny LOL, i was kinda settling on maddison

but if spurs have no striker idk

luis diaz?

[hardy vault]

Hes a safer bet than Jota

[chrome flint]

thanks

man idek

might go gvardiol over gabriel

[hardy vault]

Maddison kinda dead weak 1 now, no?

[chrome flint]

not really

surely that means son CF

[languid burrow]

i’ve gone rich estu if kane leaves and diaz udogie if he doesn’t

[chrome flint]

and perisic/solomon wing

[languid burrow]

richarlison

[novel nacelle]

i dont think we are gonna get kane news

[chrome flint]

hes injured thats what we on about

apparently anyway

[novel nacelle]

peak FPL

[languid burrow]

huh

[chrome flint]

ifs son 9 then maddison is fine

[languid burrow]

classic fpl tbf

ffs

[hardy vault]

Rumour tho. Not confirmed

[novel nacelle]

I like diaz's minutes

[languid burrow]

he doesn’t need surgery

at least

[chrome flint]

yeah might not be much

Son 9 actually helps maddo if hes as clinical as usual

[novel nacelle]

lol

[languid burrow]

may as well go diaz for a punt if ur going maddo

[chrome flint]

still prefer maddo

[novel nacelle]

i think jotas gonna be the striker

not the winger

[languid burrow]

what is going on lmfao

[novel nacelle]

i mean

i think kane plays this week anyway most likely

[hardy vault]

The attack depth at pool is annoyingggg

[languid burrow]

diaz train onwards

[novel nacelle]

is it a dumb pick

[languid burrow]

udogie is gonna cook guys

[novel nacelle]

what post is this

i wanna reply to him and ask him if hes injured

[hardy vault]

He didn’t exactly deny an injury

[languid burrow]

insta

[novel nacelle]

idt kane is going to bayern anyway

[languid burrow]

no idea what post

[novel nacelle]

@spursprogram

i guess the problem with diaz is

gw2 vs bournemouth could be nunez and jota

[hardy vault]

Might just downgrade Chilwell and go Martinelli

[novel nacelle]

tbh son up front might be better than rich anyway

https://twitter.com/FPLMaineRoad/status/1689740214883823616

FPL MCFC (@FPLMaineRoad)

👍🏼 Concussion protocol I believe, nothing serious. Unless they risk it, I believe the new rules are you can’t play for a few days. #FPL

Twitter · Aug 10, 2023, 8:47 PM

[hardy vault]

Thx

[novel nacelle]

this is dias

[languid burrow]

born ready

if we get leaks alvarez starts

easy money

[storm gyro]

Fuck FPL, my whole team will need fixing

[novel nacelle]

what are the left 3

[storm gyro]

Stones,madders,Jackson probably

[languid burrow]

oh lmao it was something like maddison udogie jackson

i was just playing around

[storm gyro]

2/3 not bad

[languid burrow]

diaz alvarez to jackson richarlison GW3

[hardy vault]

This spurs saga is giving me a headache

[novel nacelle]

if i go for jackson ill probably still get maddison

ok kane is going now apparently

idk what to do with madders

[chrome flint]

son/rich still play the 9

still fine imo

chance he gets pens

[languid burrow]

rich easy

.5 less

[novel nacelle]

injured apparently

[languid burrow]

we will see

lets start an alvarez starting prayer circle fr

city leaks (w/ alvarez starting)

[novel nacelle]

what if he is benched gw2

[hardy vault]

Wissa

⚠️ "Starting Odds" are based on my perception, nothing else; percentages simply offer a means to represent my judgement with more nuance than a straight-up prediction ⚠️

Twitter · Aug 10, 2023, 9:42 PM

[hardy vault]

I don’t like those Foden odds

[acoustic locust]

Wait Dias is injured tf?

[novel nacelle]

yes

concussion

[acoustic locust]

I must had missed that

[novel nacelle]

im worried spurs attack will be bad without kane

[ancient temple]

i might get akanji

is akanji dias gvardiol the city back line

[novel nacelle]

probably that + walker

but ake can play instead of gvardiol maybe

[languid burrow]

it’ll be fine

go with a 2 week punt if u want to scope it out

[novel nacelle]

id go diaz but he might be benched against bournemouth

[languid burrow]

i’m seeing alvarez 85%

[novel nacelle]

gw1 but

[languid burrow]

i’m gonna say unlikely

[novel nacelle]

i dont think gw2

[languid burrow]

but who knows

[novel nacelle]

why not jota and darwin

[languid burrow]

bro i’m not a pool fan

but diaz has played most of preseason

i’m probably gonna go for him

may as well

[novel nacelle]

i am tempted by diaz

[hardy vault]

Trossard is prob suicide if I’m also punting Diaz

[novel nacelle]

jackson

then its basically my team

i have estu and johnstone over gabriel and flekken rn

ill go gvardiol if theres a leak hes starting

[hardy vault]

@chrome flint Tempted my flekken

Apparently he had the most saves in Bundes

[next temple]

AHHH

WHAT do I do

With 2 mil itb

[hardy vault]

Looks good. Get Diaz for pool coverage

Play watkins haaland?

Ah u cant afford diaz..

[next temple]

Yea ik

Not good

[novel nacelle]

@languid burrow

ok i think im sold

[languid burrow]

BET

[novel nacelle]

as long as he starts the first 2

ill be happy

[languid burrow]

double liverpool attacker is where it’s at

[hardy vault]

I’m doing it

[languid burrow]

yeah you’d have to sell GW3 anyway tbh

salah diaz gang

okay now it’s just jackson udogie vs estu alvarez

[hardy vault]

Fuck it doing the same bezzo

[languid burrow]

how have our teams ended up so SIMILIAR

haha

[novel nacelle]

lol

great minds think alike

hopefully

[languid burrow]

u know it

this rmt thread has been great tbf

i’ve essentially been coping on all my picks for like a week

[novel nacelle]

if gvardiol isnt leaked to start, i might just go estu bcz i might want gvardiol long term and i can move to him easily

if ortega is leaked then ill upgrade a defender

probably udogie

[hardy vault]

I was kinda considering Mount (I know…). At least you know he will play lol

But jackson seems more exciting

[languid burrow]

yeah as an ortega mart vs johnstone diaz

[novel nacelle]

i think theres gonna be a lot of goals this season

and not many clean sheets

city maybe

im going chilwell for the attacking potential

[hardy vault]

Chilwell + Shaw would be so nuce

But Salah gang

So chilly it is

[languid burrow]

yeah i’m nailed on all but 4? picks

keeper, 3rd def, 4th mid, 2nd striker

keeper depending on ortega

[hardy vault]

Guys

Why are we not Garnachoing instead of JP?

[languid burrow]

bc sancho exists

hojlund coming back soon

[hardy vault]

Theres no way he starts over Nacho

Vs wolves

[languid burrow]

low-key go ahead if u want - but seems short sighted imo

[upbeat mountain]

Garnacho is a mid, Pedro is a striker. Big difference. Mid spots are very competetive

[languid burrow]

3-4-3

[upbeat mountain]

?

[languid burrow]

i have 4 mids

[upbeat mountain]

So?

[languid burrow]

so theoretically i could get garnacho

[upbeat mountain]

But who would be your 3rd striker then?

[languid burrow]

jackson JP

[upbeat mountain]

Haha

But then you have Pedro

Which is my exact point

He asked why we didnt go Garnacho over Pedro

[languid burrow]

lmfao i didn’t get it mb

[hardy vault]

Why wasnt sancho shit preseason

[chrome flint]

What have I missed

I got pinged

[hardy vault]

That we lowkey went with Diaz instead of madders

Sowwie

[chrome flint]

Tf

[languid burrow]

there are 70 people in this thread

holy shit

[chrome flint]

So this is now udogie + Diaz gang

I'm missing out

[hardy vault]

I have a feeling chelsea pool will be a bloodbath

[chrome flint]

Still so undecided on city def

With Dias out makes them a little more nailed

Are pool fix > spurs fix?

[hardy vault]

Nah

[chrome flint]

Pool fix kinda bad early on tho

I want part of that spurs attack that had 32 shots per game

[hardy vault]

Would you Kulusevski > Jackson?

[quaint trout]

Turner over areola ?

[hardy vault]

Happy @chrome flint ?

[chrome flint]

I'm never happy I play fpl

[hardy vault]

https://tenor.com/view/fair-baron-zemo-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-fair-enough-seems-fair-gif-22912772

[chrome flint]

I like it

Flekken Johnstone is a coin toss

[novel nacelle]

i usually tryhard preseason

then do mid

i was focusing on uni last season

[chrome flint]

Kane actually gone now

Idek what to do

[novel nacelle]

diaz!

[ancient temple]

jota*

[novel nacelle]

no money

[hardy vault]

Diaz gang

[ancient temple]

jota*

[quaint trout]

I heard about Kane moove

I did this

[quaint trout]

I’m finalizing my draft

And this Kane moove fucked me

[hardy vault]

Betting on defense when we will play 110 min games

Not the move imo

[quaint trout]

Is it better

[hardy vault]

Yes

[quaint trout]

Ty

[novel nacelle]

estu or gabriel if gvardiol isn't starting?

[rough sundial]

False
My Pool friends and I watch the games in Singapore can say that Diaz isnt 100% nailed
Nunez is 80 to 100% benched based on the performance..
Jota should be on LW and Gakpo CF while Salah on RW. Diaz and Jota compete on the left. But Jota favors the system right now.

[novel nacelle]

gakpo is in midfield rn

[rough sundial]

As CAM? If they line up 4231 probably. But not sure if Klopp will do it against Chelsea

To me Jota passed the eye test

[novel nacelle]

u have not enough midfielders

[hardy vault]

Didnt you play 4231 twice the last two?

I’m punting Diaz, fk it

Mart / Jota / Havertz / Trossard / Richy all questionmarks as well. And I don’t want to go a 6.5

[quaint trout]

i’d go mart from those but

jota is a good pick too imo over diaz

both more expensive though

[rough sundial]

Think Jota is 0.5 more than Diaz

[quaint trout]

read up

but yes he is

[hardy vault]

If Richy is 100% fit i’ll go jota

[rough sundial]

At least my reason for getting Jota is to have at least one Pool coverage

[thorn vine]

Damn this has 5.5k+ messages

[quaint trout]

attacking coverage is a myth

[novel nacelle]

what do we do if foden is leaked to start

[quaint trout]

nothing

[novel nacelle]

diaz would still be better?

[hardy vault]

Considering Mitoma Jota over Madders Diaz

Think diaz gets minutes even if hes not starting?

[novel nacelle]

yes

[quaint trout]

i would do that personally

[novel nacelle]

I'm pretty sure he starts gw1

everyone on the liverpool forums predicts diaz

[hardy vault]

Damn

I like him long term over jota anyway

Fk it we move

[novel nacelle]

ok 1 guy predicts no diaz

[hardy vault]

[novel nacelle]

most have diaz over jota though

or both

[hardy vault]

Madre mia

[languid burrow]

need an alvarez leak

otherwise no diaz

[novel nacelle]

why not my structure

dont want udogie?

[languid burrow]

rather take richarlison tbh

rich estu is probably better than diaz udogie

[novel nacelle]

might be injured

[languid burrow]

much rather have alvarez diaz estu at the end of the day but jackson starts alvarez doesn’t

[novel nacelle]

dont think ill go alvarez even if hes leaked

he can just get benched gw2 3 4

[languid burrow]

it’s either:

1. alvarez diaz estu(if alvarez starts)
2. jackson diaz udogie(no alvarez)
3. jackson rich estu (no alvarez)

essentially the parameters

[novel nacelle]

u arent worried rich is injured?

[languid burrow]

let me reply so i can come back to this

[languid burrow]

not enough to make me concerned

[novel nacelle]

enough for him to comment on the post

[hardy vault]

If he really is injured shouldnt something official be said 2mrw?

[languid burrow]

there will be pressers

[novel nacelle]

are there

ok

guess u can find out

[languid burrow]

but i’ve narrowed it down to 3 options for 3 players

happy enough with that

[novel nacelle]

but

diaz>rich gw3

[languid burrow]

it’s been a long preseason

[novel nacelle]

after fixture swing

and u get diaz for bournemouth

[languid burrow]

yeah diaz alvarez -> rich jackson was the plan

need alvarez to start ofc but that would COOK

[novel nacelle]

i think ill still go jackson

[languid burrow]

estu to udogie (-4) if price rises are not feasible

[novel nacelle]

he might rise in price

[hardy vault]

Im betting on our little doggie

[languid burrow]

^^^

it’s a -4 not the end of the world - worth it to attach fixture swings

fplstatistics fr

[hardy vault]

Jota gets dead legs after 60 mins right?

Or nah

[languid burrow]

huh

he’s a pro footballer so nah

[hardy vault]

Was a hopium lol

[novel nacelle]

funny we might end up with the exact same gw1 team

[languid burrow]

after all this tinkering

was v. similiar to classic for a while, and smooth for a bit

[novel nacelle]

i only switched off watkins today

do u have gabriel over estu rn

[rough sundial]

where is the forum posted for lineup predictions?

[novel nacelle]

just searched liverpool forum

caicedo = 1 less spot for diaz?

[languid burrow]

no

[novel nacelle]

i think so

gakpo wont play midfield

[languid burrow]

bro ciacodeo was a DM

caicedo competition is bajcetic/jones

[novel nacelle]

yeah but they dont have any rn

[languid burrow]

^^^

[novel nacelle]

it was gonna be gakpo in mideifld probably

[languid burrow]

not competing for the same spot

[novel nacelle]

did you see their last lineup

[languid burrow]

yes

and they’re not competing for the same spot

[novel nacelle]

about half the fans were predicting gakpo in midfield

[hardy vault]

Feel like it’s a 60/40 split vs Jota and Diaz

From what I find

[rough sundial]

Caicedo will just play as DM and it wont affect Diaz
More like Curtis Jones or TAA wont play in that spot anymore

[novel nacelle]

it means there is space for 3 attackers not 4

like the previous friendly

[rough sundial]

I think there might be a chance Szobolai could move to CAM or some midfield spot and Gakpo play as CF

[novel nacelle]

i just care about diaz

[static anvil]

Jones is not a DM, he is a cam/winger

[static anvil]

Yeah, I was one of them. Now I really don't fancy gakpo that much anymore

[static anvil]

Another draft. Fuck this kane+caicedo shit has me up the left

[winged mortar]

U think jota will start regularly "?

[torn fable]

are yall busy

pickford
porro gabriel stones
saka bruno salah foden tross
pedro haaland
@trail rose

going porro over estu for now cuz their midfield cover from caicedo is gone

and estu no attacking threat

pickford or johnstone?

[trail rose]

Porro omg

tross and foden tf

[trail rose]

Have Johnstone

[void whale]

dont want spurs attacker gw 1

[trail rose]

I’m on Mbeumo now

[void whale]

estu has no midfield cover now, if they play gross in midfield they have veltman rb and will get cooked, vice versa

[trail rose]

Richy got ditched

[void whale]

could go foden to march but eh

if foden leaked to start ill keep

[amber raptor]

Any leaks for kdb or foden

[next temple]

I have 2 mil itb what do I do

[marble sun]

give me a loan

[hardy vault]

Im considering the Jota or Díaz differential..

[amber raptor]

In the same boat

Feels puntier than a son

[hardy vault]

I’ve been scouring Liverpool threads and it seems the fans are torn 60/40 on Jota and Diaz

I don’t like those odds

[jade meteor]

who is cooking something crazy today !

[hardy vault]

Shipping this midfield. Estu + Rash or Bruno + Chilwell?

[autumn wave]

When’s postecoglus press

[slim beacon]

4 4 facking 2 to get Salah in?

[hardy vault]

I absolutely rate that 👍🏻

[slim beacon]

Yeah me too mate

Ticks all the boxes for me

[chrome flint]

You have all the best Def options tho, problem comes when you have to move them

[slim beacon]

I have question marks over Rich and Trossard, there is talk of a Rich injury? And as good as Trossard is he won't start vs Forest and if he does start, he will be in the midfield 8 role with Ode and Rice behind them

[slim beacon]

I don't mind moving Estu down to Udogie for GW4 and banking. 5m

I think I would also be down for a double City defence for a few weeks

[chrome flint]

Yeah it's not bad

But somewhat resteictive

[quaint trout]

One or 2?

[chrome flint]

Both have Ferguson and start turner so neither

Can't even see the bench

Get your own thread

[quaint trout]

Ferguson is gonna start

they play luton he'll score 2 goals

[chrome flint]

[slim beacon]

Welbeck starts with JP behind him surely

[chrome flint]

Ferguson had like 45 minutes this preseason

[slim beacon]

Shouldn't be discouraging people from bad picks actually, improves my OR

So yes definitely pick Ferguson

[storm gyro]

Whats the TLDR on recent news? Are we team richarlison now?

[hardy vault]

I actually wen’t back to 3-4-3

Can’t trust Klopp

[lime lava]

fml i am proper getting those last minute tinkering nerves

[rough sundial]

take it easy dude

[lime lava]

lmao nah this is what fpl is about

[clever trout]

They better reach 7k messages by deadline

[rough sundial]

Ayy's RMT is gonna break the world record for so many messages in one RMT

[lime lava]

unless i crack and decide to start again this is probably what i end up with

[languid burrow]

i know but klopp was playing him in that role as there were no other

[storm gyro]

Fellow Richarlison enjoyer, thats all the confirmation i needed

[languid burrow]

just need last min alvarez starting news and i’m set

[storm gyro]

This has to be pre kane news?

[languid burrow]

most likely yeah

2.4% is low

[void whale]

jota more owned than foden?

what is going on

[lime lava]

rich is 3.2% rn

[clever trout]

This isn't the kips I know

[lime lava]

its weird not to be doing something different

[storm gyro]

Btw, this is the «experts» ownership in FPL Focal vids. Surely this is pre Kane news

[languid burrow]

yeah probably

don’t trust those experts 100% btw

some are going w/o haaland - and i guarantee u a lot of people here probably have better ranks

[river ore]

Is joao Pedro good?

[hardy vault]

The guys going without Haaland are bench boosting I think

[lime lava]

cheap enabler, and has had a good pre season

brightons first 3 games are very good, after that its eh

[river ore]

Ye

[languid burrow]

JP to morris GW4 is always a possibility

[hardy vault]

Oh, didn’t think bout that

[languid burrow]

wissa/4.5 striker that emerges too

[rough sundial]

Jota GANG

[languid burrow]

rich fit to play

[void whale]

[rough sundial]

at least I am not getting Mac10 who is highly owned at 12.7%

[void whale]

too many casuals in this game lmao

fair enough

[storm gyro]

Confirmed?

[void whale]

if jota starts he would be a good asset tbh

[void whale]

so no salah?

[rough sundial]

yea, I am using Jota as my Pool coverage

if he is benched so be it, this is the risk I need to take tbh

[river ore]

Yo can anyone help

[void whale]

u got trent or sumn?

where are u spending the cash lmao

[rough sundial]

wait tagged you in my rmt

[languid burrow]

yes

check fpl chat

[languid burrow]

???

make ur own rmt

[chrome flint]

Mutiny has been restored

[storm gyro]

You on Rich? @chrome flint

[chrome flint]

Madders

[flint crag]

Rip

[chrome flint]

@flint crag you on rich or madders

[flint crag]

Richy

[chrome flint]

If Ange gets asked about pens imma just take whoever is on them

[storm gyro]

Inb4 Son is on pens

[languid burrow]

maddi on FKs finally

[quaint trout]

Thoughts

[hardy vault]

I’m actually off Salah

😦

It fks so much shit up

[quaint trout]

You can build a good team still work him in it

[patent moon]

Not sure I'd like to start with Turner.

[quaint trout]

He's starting and he saves me 0.5 im not that assed

[patent moon]

he could easily get 3-4 goals against. Just do Stones to Gabriel and solved if you ask me.

[quaint trout]

I domt get the hype around Gabriel

[patent moon]

Easy fixtures in a good squad and has the best attacking thread of the defenders there. I don't get the hype on Stones, could just as well be benched out of nowhere.

[novel nacelle]

Do we know if rich is fit

[chrome flint]

Yeah he's fit

[quaint trout]

Stones is gonna be used further up the pitch most likely

[patent moon]

you never know with Pep. He started as a cb in the shield, and you now have Gvardiol and Ake to compete there as well.

[novel nacelle]

Confirmed?

Where

[fading spire]

He replied on insta

[hardy vault]

What we thinking

[storm gyro]

I think you post screenshots of your team a bit too much

[hardy vault]

Lol

[storm gyro]

Also Diaby

[hardy vault]

6.5 striker in midfield tho

[void whale]

ss

[flint crag]

Just did my draft for draft mode

Can tell already it's going to outscore my proper fpl team a lot

[void whale]

can u explain what draft mode is

if u dont mind

[lime lava]

you got that in draft?

[flint crag]

Yeah lol

[languid burrow]

how

[lime lava]

madness

[flint crag]

6 man draft so not a massive pool

[storm gyro]

How many players in the draft league lol?

[languid burrow]

start jackson over ferguson imo

[storm gyro]

Currently cooking in the draft league myself 😂

[next temple]

Harry Kane gone

How you have 4 spurs players

[storm gyro]

Draft was 5 days ago

[static anvil]

I'm stressed all over again

Does turner saving .5 over johnston make him that much better, or is it better to have a gk that is more likely to keep cs

[novel nacelle]

get johnstone

[static anvil]

i have 1 mil itb with this, but idk if i like it, i might prefer my old team

Turners first 6 games

[quaint trout]

Extra 8 mil .., for which midfielder ?

[static anvil]

all of a sudden i dont like him as much

[hardy vault]

Turner aint a starter thats for sure

Johnstone or Flekken imo

[novel nacelle]

diaz vs rich

tuff

[fading spire]

Save points

[novel nacelle]

think diaz for 2 gws is higher upside

you know if ortega starts

we could affort mart

[hardy vault]

You think we will get a lineup leak from City?

[novel nacelle]

yes

[hardy vault]

A starting Gvardiol would be pog

[novel nacelle]

theres an insider guy

https://twitter.com/FPLMaineRoad

I’ll go for gvardiol if he starts but i will be worried about no arsenal or brighton defence

[hardy vault]

I would go with gvard gab and estu

And just use mitoma

Think I would Bruno -> Mart and then Udogie -> Gvardiol

[novel nacelle]

dont even own bruno

[hardy vault]

Omfg lol. Caicedo has said he doesnt want to go to Liverpool

«Only Chelsea»

[chrome flint]

Not true

He prefers Chelsea because they've had personal terms agreed since may

[hardy vault]

Its on the news here in Norway

[chrome flint]

Still open to pool

[hardy vault]

Ah

[chrome flint]

If Chelsea match pools bid he goes chelsea

[hardy vault]

I see

Prob higher wage

[chrome flint]

Last decision for me is Watkins Mbeumo or Jackson Maddison

[languid burrow]

you’re going to want double chelsea at one point

[trail rose]

Maybe

Idk

[languid burrow]

good enough for me

[chrome flint]

Yeah but I can do Watkins to jackson

So on the fence

[lucid swift]

That’s gw3

Not 1

[languid burrow]

watkins has dog first 2

[languid burrow]

i’m aware

[chrome flint]

Pool and Whu aren't bad fix tho

[languid burrow]

pool home and WH away aren’t bad attacking fixtures by any means

[lucid swift]

For chelsea they are

We shall see at least

[chrome flint]

Not for attackers

[tepid salmon]

can u send message link pls

[languid burrow]

nope

[chrome flint]

Pool have a shit def

[languid burrow]

sorry for what? mb

[chrome flint]

I expect Chelsea to lose but to score too

[tepid salmon]

ur team 😂thanks

[hardy vault]

What ur team look like?

[languid burrow]

oh wtf i really changed it

[tepid salmon]

similar ish to mine tbh

Thanks

[languid burrow]

yeah was on some weird stuff before yesterday

[marble sun]

close

[languid burrow]

managed to correct it but last min city news probably changes atuff

[tepid salmon]

r u the one who makes 700 drafts

I heard someone say

[languid burrow]

uhhhh

i’m not THAT bad

[tepid salmon]

no it’s good

[hardy vault]

Looks decent tho

With a sleeper Udogie

[marble sun]

udogie for estu in 4 and 5

dont like city defense tbh

too much rotation and dont score enough

[tepid salmon]

Oh wow maybe I do need a chelsea asset

[novel nacelle]

think ill go for diaz

[tepid salmon]

Ahhhhhh idk what to do

😭

[novel nacelle]

unless ortega starts

[tepid salmon]

I don’t even have a solid plan rn

[languid burrow]

maybe 2

[languid burrow]

ok post team

[novel nacelle]

if gvardiol starts, estu to gvardiol, if ortega starts, maybe diaz to martinelli

[storm gyro]

flekken/chilwell/madders only differece from my team

[unique patrol]

Wtff 5821 messages in this

[languid burrow]

yeah last thing to figure out is alvarez diaz or jackson rich

[novel nacelle]

jackson diaz

then diaz > spurs gw3

[languid burrow]

don’t get estu to gvardiol

easily benched GW2 + 3 and no attacking threat

[novel nacelle]

he might start a lot of games

[languid burrow]

don’t have that kinda money

[novel nacelle]

no udogie gang?

[languid burrow]

yes but estu is better

[hardy vault]

I’m on Udogie but feel bad starting him

[languid burrow]

why

[marble sun]

dont u have the triforce

estu chilwell gabriel

[languid burrow]

if u feel bad starting him may as well get a diff

[novel nacelle]

why im on jackson over alvarez is

idt pool is a bad attacking fixture

they might play with 4 forwards

and gw2 is also a good fix

so alvarez is basically a 1 week punt

when jackson can do well anyway

also with my structure, in gw3 i can get either madders or rich

[storm gyro]

I also see alvarez as a 1 week punt, way too high of a minutes risk to be picked over Jackson imo

[novel nacelle]

ig triocta doesnt want udogie

[languid burrow]

2 week punt

i posted my 3 variations earlier

[static anvil]

When do city play the CWC

[languid burrow]

^^^

[static anvil]

As in luiz diaz?

[marble sun]

cwc ? or do u mean uefa supercup

[storm gyro]

youre basically locking atleast one transfer if u pick alvarez. Id rather have them open if something comes up

[languid burrow]

yeah

[static anvil]

Club world cup

[ancient temple]

1 imo

[languid burrow]

i mean if alvarez diaz start first 2 they score 4 more than jackson rich in that time span imo

[ancient temple]

are you waiting for alvarrz news or are you just gonna risk it

[languid burrow]

and 4 is the cost of a transfer so

[novel nacelle]

@static anvil wdyt about diaz minutes gw1 and 2

[languid burrow]

waiting ofc

[novel nacelle]

what are the chances jota plays LW and diaz is benched

[hardy vault]

Too high for my liking

We already have Salah

Why risk it

[static anvil]

Not a fan of L diaz tbh. Think his mins are gonna be good, think he is first choice LW, and expect him to start both games, but idk how his attacking output will be

[novel nacelle]

ok

thats enough for me

hes basically a 2 gw punt

[hardy vault]

Martinelli stinks a bit too

[novel nacelle]

then ill switch to madders/rich probably

[static anvil]

Purely mins based, I think he gets over 140 across both games

[hardy vault]

Kinda rate Madders higher

[novel nacelle]

yeah thats good for me

[static anvil]

If you hear any, lmk, I'm on the fence with alvaraz too, currently in my team, but by no means solidified

[ancient temple]

@languid burrow are u thinking of jota over diaz

[novel nacelle]

its not even certain he outscores jackson in gw1

i hope pool vs chelsea will be high scoring

if neither of them have a DM

[languid burrow]

not enough money to do it haha

[hardy vault]

Think the last 5 between chelsea pool has been 0-0 and one of them 1-1

[languid burrow]

otherwise i would go mart

[languid burrow]

will do

[novel nacelle]

with kante and fabinho

[hardy vault]

Ye

[novel nacelle]

not jones and santos

[patent moon]

this is my team, except Eze's position maybe Diaby or Mbuemo.

[hardy vault]

Those 4 6.5’s do my head in

Diaby seems pog to me tho

[languid burrow]

may as well go diaby

why not

[hardy vault]

If I keep Udogie I get Rash, Saka, Salah, Bruno and Diaby

Which I quite like

No chelsea feels kinda bad tho

So hard to drop one of Bruno and Rash as Utd fan

[novel nacelle]

i think i am settled, before i see the city leaks

u rly think gvardiol isnt a good pick?

https://twitter.com/4lex_mcfc/status/1689995380790894593

4lex (@4lex_mcfc)

GKs

Ederson (5.5) - If he wasn't a no-go before, he's quite clearly a no-go now (unless you're a masochist)

Ortega (4.0) - If it's leaked he starts today, throw him in ASAP, simple as

Twitter · Aug 11, 2023, 1:41 PM

mfs picking ederson bcz he's the "only nailed way into the city defence" when they see ortega starting

[chrome flint]

If Ortega starts I'll get him

Either bank the 0.5 or get rash for fernandes

Maybe mart for madders too idk

[frosty lava]

Can someone help rate my team?

[novel nacelle]

you dont like ?

[novel nacelle]

make a rmt

[frosty lava]

Already did

[novel nacelle]

i cant see it

[storm gyro]

mind if i @ u in my rmt?

[hardy vault]

Think I like Pinnock instead of Udogie first two games honestly

[chrome flint]

Just this once

[slim beacon]

Back to triple City, triple Utd, triple Arsenal and no Liverpool

[patent moon]

how can you have triple city?

[storm gyro]

probably stones/haaland/alvarez

[quaint trout]

When do we have the leaks ?

[patent moon]

earliest is 1,5 hour before start I think.

[storm gyro]

leaks are useless confirmed

[amber raptor]

So post deadline

[languid burrow]

no there will probably be leaks before DL

[slim beacon]

I'm gonna have a punt on Alvarez and see what happens. Can't be arsed messing with it anymore I am over thinking. Should be as easy as stocking up on players from the 3 best teams in the league.

[acoustic locust]

cmon guys we're just 77 more messages away in this thread until we hit 6k

[languid burrow]

get it before DL

[novel nacelle]

easily hit it by deadline

[static anvil]

Thistbh

[novel nacelle]

btw i think theres a chance rich is benched

[chrome flint]

Just wait for a city leak then we hit 7k through panicking

[novel nacelle]

idt ange spoke highly of him

[languid burrow]

i disagree

[chrome flint]

That's why madders

[languid burrow]

bro scored a hattrick in preseason in like a half

[chrome flint]

Son can play 9 with perisic/Solomon wing

[languid burrow]

no way he gets benched

[chrome flint]

Yeah but he's still recovering from the knock

Fit to start doesn't mean match sharp

[languid burrow]

34yo perisic starting

[novel nacelle]

im just gna watch the first 2 games

[void whale]

siu

[novel nacelle]

then jump on madders or rich when the fixtures turn

[static anvil]

Thats why I have jota first 2 gws

As a placeholder with a good fix

[novel nacelle]

you don’t think diaz will get more minutes?

i guess they can both play maybe

[chrome flint]

Not confident on any that's why salah

And maddison could be a 100 minute man

[novel nacelle]

well it’s not one or the other
