RMT - 11.3 ITB, 1FT

[vague hearth]

L captaincy pick

was a pretty obvious pick

didnt payoff in the end tho did it

[silk torrent]

66 pts

back to back reds

[vague hearth]

nah but got moreno

[silk torrent]

feels baf

bad

We move tho

[vague hearth]

you’ll be back

[silk torrent]

of course foden had to be the one to get all 3

[vague hearth]

hard to say that when haaland is there and we’ve been looking for cap options for ages

[silk torrent]

hindsight merchant detected

want jota but i'm partially wondering if he starts both of the dgw

matches

[vague hearth]

yeah i’m in on jota as long as salah isn’t back

i’ll get either or this week

[silk torrent]

i can get him for a hit this week, which isn't awful he's got a good prospect to make that worth it

need to downgrade probably porro first

[vague hearth]

i’d have to sell richy to get jota

gordon may make my decision easy

but can do it in one move

also for 2 transfers so

[topaz escarp]

Well set up for 26?

[vague hearth]

kind of

mainly because i don’t have palmer

which isn’t a flex lol

[topaz escarp]

So who are you on then?

From Spurs, Chelsea and Pool

[vague hearth]

richy porro taa

[topaz escarp]

Oh that’s fine

Personally, most probably doing Porro->TAA this week

[vague hearth]

yeah i’m not really sure atm

need to wait on fitness

[silk torrent]

i think getting jota will sacrifice getting toney

much pondering required

[vague hearth]

what do you guys think is sufficient for the double?

3 city 2 pool? and another

is eze a hold

if he’s fit yeah

[silk torrent]

the more the merrier as long as you're not shooting yourself in the foot after 25 is done i would say

[vague hearth]

that’s my worry

[silk torrent]

i'm only getting them in if i can cover them for 26

[vague hearth]

reluctant to sell saka

even for kdb despite his double

[silk torrent]

probably a bad time to sell saka

that shot me in the face

saka and foden haul did wonders for my rank (not)

[vague hearth]

my only way of getting to kdb/salah

[topaz escarp]

I’m not really looking at any Brentford assets for 25. Would only be Flekken as he also plays in 29, but I have bigger transfers to do

[silk torrent]

valid

[vague hearth]

toney?

[vague hearth]

how many points did u get

[topaz escarp]

Double in 25, plays in 26 and 29

[silk torrent]

66

idk what it is on bonus

just 66 actually

[topaz escarp]

I’m happy with Nunez, Haaland and Watkins. Then shipping Nunez in 26 for Solanke

[silk torrent]

back 2 back reds smh

[vague hearth]

i got more than u no way

[silk torrent]

yur

i don't have foden

[vague hearth]

i genuinley thought i was mudded

[silk torrent]

so that cooked me

[topaz escarp]

Fourth consecutive green after 2 reds in a row🤏🏻

[vague hearth]

i was on 39 before the city game

[silk torrent]

i'm having my two reds

this inspires hope

[vague hearth]

another 5% green

[topaz escarp]

Let’s pray there’s a thing

[silk torrent]

the well had to run dry

[vague hearth]

if i didnt do watkins to haaland i wouldve had 83 points which would be a bigger green

no sympathy for people who sold watkins at all

[topaz escarp]

I’ve had 6 reds this season. They have all come in pair: red in 6 and 7, red in 14 and 15, red in 18 and 19

[silk torrent]

i had watkins and rich and if i captained either of them

i would've been fine i'd say

[vague hearth]

hindsight

[silk torrent]

but no sane man doesn't captain haaland

[topaz escarp]

👋

[vague hearth]

unless you considered it don’t be annoyed

[silk torrent]

and i never hesitated to captain haaland so yeah

tis what it is

[topaz escarp]

Not 100% about his mins, Watkins playing against the worst team? I’ll take that

[vague hearth]

been kinda inconsistent (gw 23 hasnt updated yet)

[topaz escarp]

Yeah.. no reason to overreact

[vague hearth]

jonas you capped watkins?

[topaz escarp]

Indeed

[vague hearth]

well played holy shit

you couldve capped watkins foden or richarlison and got a mega pointer

[topaz escarp]

My team this week

[silk torrent]

that top right is crazy lol

[vague hearth]

87?

[silk torrent]

87 for 87

[vague hearth]

that captain saved you

[topaz escarp]

Haha yes

[vague hearth]

your 87th?

what

[silk torrent]

this guy

[vague hearth]

the hell

[topaz escarp]

Really did

[vague hearth]

how do you even get that high

[silk torrent]

on paper it's hilarious foden gets a hattrick when i pick up kdb and haaland

[topaz escarp]

I was torn between Haaland and Watkins, but in the end it was a 70/30 in favor of Watkins for me

[topaz escarp]

Just by playing consistent really, and a bit of luck, of course. Not doing stupid shit honestly

[vague hearth]

jonas when did you wildcard?

[topaz escarp]

Gw8

Blessed with the wc

[vague hearth]

yeah i was doing really well

fucked my wildcard up badly

went in gw20

[topaz escarp]

My wc

[vague hearth]

should’ve gone when my team needed it after third international break

johnstone

had that guy from week1

[topaz escarp]

They had good fix iirc

[vague hearth]

yeah he did wonders for me

[silk torrent]

best defender to have outside of estu/porro/saliba/taa for sub 5.3?

[vague hearth]

gvardiol/ake/doughty

[silk torrent]

looking at a defender replacement that lets me afford jota

bowen to jota is easy in itself

[topaz escarp]

Fancy just having a Fulham defender just chilling until 29?🤣

[vague hearth]

i would do that 100%

[topaz escarp]

Or even Brentford, even though their defense sucks

[silk torrent]

do fulham play both blanks?

[vague hearth]

doughty will have 2 doubles and has sheff u this week

[topaz escarp]

I’m not big on Jota at all

[vague hearth]

what about a wolves defender?

[silk torrent]

i can understand that but

burnley then a DGW

[vague hearth]

ait nouri

[silk torrent]

now he might not start both

in the dgw

[topaz escarp]

Also Luton have a big chance of playing in 29

[vague hearth]

@silk torrent if you can navigate 26 i’d go doughty 100%

[silk torrent]

doughty it is i think

[vague hearth]

forest could beat united tbf

[silk torrent]

i'm dropping porro for him for budget reasons, not sure if that could sting me bad

but

[vague hearth]

i might be selling porro

[silk torrent]

i think porro is overpriced with maddison back

taking more set piece duties

[vague hearth]

tempted myself to go porro to gvardiol/doughty

[silk torrent]

i could drop estu but he has great fixtures ahead and plays 26

and i'm not giving up on him yet

[vague hearth]

neither

[silk torrent]

is nfo luton replay confirmed?

for their dgw

not forrest

sorry

bournemouth

bournemouth luton

[vague hearth]

not yet

28 is likely

[silk torrent]

does kabore get back into the team now that he's back?

he was injured then had afcon

[vague hearth]

i’d imagine so

[silk torrent]

he's my 5th def

do we think a city def has a lot of upside for their dgw?

chelsea and brentford dont scream CS

at all

[vague hearth]

it says 1 to me

not a lot of upside but it’s more the amount of options in attack

[silk torrent]

one cs and one 90 mins would be 8 pts or so wouldnt it

tempting

i have 26 coverage so i can go for one

if i want

[vague hearth]

i mean i like the look of gvardiol

quite attacking atm

[silk torrent]

i could go foden as my 3rd city instead of getting jota

idk

i want something from liverpool attack

[topaz escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/nunez-darwin-darvin-darwin-nunez-liverpool-gif-26482994

[vague hearth]

i’d try and have both but prefer jota

[silk torrent]

with haaland back it's back to worrying about budget and therefore not leaving to deadline smh

[silk torrent]

i could do this but it means one of gordon/bowen will start for me next GW

need to look into gordon inj

i like darwizzy for burnley and then dgw

[vague hearth]

we can’t plan atm

i’d just wait for news

[silk torrent]

solanke > darwizzler till 26 then i reverse it

[vague hearth]

is that really worth 2 transfers?

just go toney instead

[silk torrent]

i think darwin could return in all 3 between now and then. same goes for toney tho i suppose

[topaz escarp]

Optimal👋🤌🥵

[silk torrent]

i got a picture with darwins jersey at the tour

it seems destiny

to get him

my team is called darwizzy wanderers

and i haven't got him once this season

[topaz escarp]

I look forward to that one Darwin game where all his shots go his way and he bags 6

[silk torrent]

it might be destiny

[silk torrent]

it's coming

[topaz escarp]

Bought this in Lisbon. Mine on the right

[silk torrent]

dope

adel taarabt

what a baller

[topaz escarp]

Also got his #27 shirt at pool

I felt like I had to

[silk torrent]

yeah i was gonna pick one up at the stadium but the weekend of drinking had me skint lol

[topaz escarp]

But I left it at my parents house, so I won’t see it in well over a month now

[silk torrent]

will pick it up down the line tho

need a darwizzy jersey asap

[topaz escarp]

Conor Bradley🥶

Isn’t he like #82 or some fucked shit

[vague hearth]

i can’t bring myself to get nunez personally

[silk torrent]

84

[topaz escarp]

Right

[topaz escarp]

I was hesitant when I bought him ages ago. Imagine I went Solanke instead😭

[silk torrent]

Cold ahh jersey

[topaz escarp]

Top 10, no doubt

[silk torrent]

For Bradley

[topaz escarp]

No name, no picture haha

[silk torrent]

His name wasn’t even up he’s that recent in the starters haha

[vague hearth]

yeah i actually rate him quite highly but fucking hell he misses a lot of chances

[silk torrent]

Cool to see two Irish in the dressing room

There was loads of kids getting pics with Darwin’s jersey lol

He’s influenced a generation

[topaz escarp]

I’ll drop you this cold Shankly quote

[silk torrent]

I’d have to take a bit to get Darwin or jota for next GW too but they can pay that off easily really

[topaz escarp]

Man I really want that Dublin trip. Watch some LOI and then go Belfast and watch a game there

[silk torrent]

If I just got foden instead of Kdb lol

[silk torrent]

Make sure your wallet is thick coming to Dublin lol

[topaz escarp]

That would be country 9 and 10 where I’ve watched football

[silk torrent]

Belfast is cheap enough though

[topaz escarp]

I’m from the most posh part of Norway, which also is a fucking expensive ass country. I think I’ll be fine🤣🤣

[silk torrent]

True

Norway is up there

[topaz escarp]

Cheaper beer in Ireland

That’s what matters

[silk torrent]

I hear Scandinavia is an expensive place in general, hard to get much more expensive than Dublin right now though

[topaz escarp]

Like 9 quid for an 0.4 of the worst beer here

[silk torrent]

God

[topaz escarp]

At a pub that is

[silk torrent]

9 is dirt

Most places these days here it’s about 6-7.50 depending on what you get

[topaz escarp]

Could probably get 2x double Jack n coke in Dublin for that or?🤣

[silk torrent]

More like 30 quid for that hahaha

[topaz escarp]

Need to know where to go init

If I’ll go Dublin, it will be with my father. So he will pay for the most part. If I decide to go out, I’ll have to pay myself

[topaz escarp]

A double Jack and Coke was like 6 quid in Liverpool. Steal

[silk torrent]

Liverpool so cheap drink wise

It was amazing

[topaz escarp]

Did you go out any of the days?

[silk torrent]

Jagerbombs and double vodkas flying around

[topaz escarp]

That answers it haha

Where did you go?

[silk torrent]

I went out every night

Dropped a bomb in money but we move

Lol

[topaz escarp]

Shit happens

[silk torrent]

I was in McCooleys for a lot of it

[topaz escarp]

MY MAN

Concert square, right?

[silk torrent]

Great atmosphere for the six nations win

Oh god yeah hahaha

We were there loads

[topaz escarp]

I fucking loved McCooleys

I went there 3/4 four nights

Me and my mate

[silk torrent]

Hahaha same

[topaz escarp]

What a great spot

[silk torrent]

Everyone in the city recommends it when you’re there as well

[topaz escarp]

No place to put your jacket which stinked

[silk torrent]

We went there for the ireland-france game it was a cracker, loads of Irish around it was a class atmosphere

[topaz escarp]

Nah in the hotel lobby, we asked for a place to watch some footy and grab a beer. Guess what the guy said💀💀

[silk torrent]

Then we ended up there at least once for all the other days

[silk torrent]

Must’ve been Wetherspoons there was about 20 of them

[topaz escarp]

You could honestly just stay at concert square, loads of places to go. When we got tired we just went to the club on the other side

[topaz escarp]

Hooters😭😭😭😭😭😭

Mint. Went there early to watch some darts as well

[silk torrent]

I didn’t even know they had that

[topaz escarp]

Me neither

We obviously didn’t go and ended at McCooleys

[silk torrent]

That’s gas hahah

[topaz escarp]

Quite easy to pull there as well if I’m being honest

[silk torrent]

Sitting just across from where you took that

[topaz escarp]

What a legend

I feel like this is our special moment with our love for McCooleys

Will defo go back

[silk torrent]

Yeah it was swimming with girls to be fair, best ratio I’ve seen in ages

I’m all Liverpool’d out for now but

After the anfield tour

I’m getting tickets for a match asap

So I’ll be back in McCooleys in no time lol

[topaz escarp]

We met some birds from Leicester. When they said they were from Leicester, my Tory ass looking Norwegian face went “oh you’re a Tory then, fuck off”. And still ended up pulling😭😭

[silk torrent]

Fact lol

[topaz escarp]

At McC

[silk torrent]

Tory 😂

Scousers and Irish get along great

[vague hearth]

I’ve got infinite budget

[topaz escarp]

Me and my mate look like the most blatant tories

[silk torrent]

Both disliked by the English

[topaz escarp]

Met many Irish lads tbf

Not many girls

[silk torrent]

Yea it was a load of Irish stags and hens on our flight tbf

[topaz escarp]

See you there👀

[silk torrent]

Causing ruckus

[topaz escarp]

There was one place right across the street as well. Went there only one night after being tired of McCooleys, sick there as well

[silk torrent]

🤝

[topaz escarp]

No idea what the name was

[silk torrent]

I went to this nightclub levels

And then the Irish house was decent as well

[topaz escarp]

FFS

[silk torrent]

Hahaha I seen that

[topaz escarp]

I did too brother😭😭

[silk torrent]

Big spot isn’t it

[topaz escarp]

Huge

3 floors

[vague hearth]

It would be a cool idea if there was a chip where you could undo a transfer and you get like 2 every half a season

[silk torrent]

Thought it was a bit young at times for me lol

[topaz escarp]

Brother you replicated me and my mates trip. 3 nights at McC and one at Level

Im not even taking the piss here

[silk torrent]

Literally there for 4 days and spent it in the same place everyday hahaha

[topaz escarp]

Sorry mate. We’re having a moment just now

[topaz escarp]

🤣🤣🤣

[silk torrent]

He’s interrupting our liverpool bonding lol

[topaz escarp]

I caused mayhem at level

Walking around singing “fuck the tories” and getting like 25 people to join in

[silk torrent]

Man one of the lads lost his phone and all, didn’t find him till he came crawling through our apartment door at 11 am the next day

[topaz escarp]

Was in the middle of the stairs between floor 2 and 3 and the bouncer threatened to throw me out because of it

[silk torrent]

Genuinely a chaotic city for a night out

[topaz escarp]

Hahahahaahahga what the fuck. Sleep at a birds gaff?

As me and my mate only were two, we couldn’t leave each other

[silk torrent]

Yeah we were 7 so it was every man for himself

Big crowd

[silk torrent]

Something like that hahaha

[topaz escarp]

Im sure he could’ve brought home two birds the first night. They were all into him. Not easy being on a trip with a mate who looks like a supermodel

[silk torrent]

He came back a defeated man

[topaz escarp]

Fair enough

[topaz escarp]

Shit happens. That’s the weekly stuff init

Do you happen to have a girl by any chance?

[silk torrent]

No I don’t I was a single man, went over with a sprained ankle so I was out of action more or less

Quite awful

[topaz escarp]

Oh fuck sake

[silk torrent]

Yeah I was on a concoction of painkillers and drink the whole weekend

Feeling it now

[topaz escarp]

Liverpool is an easy city to pull in, but I think they like the common UK look more than my posh ass middle part look

But does the job still

[topaz escarp]

Not a great idea. My mate had a minor knee injury and did the same a weekend. Ended up taking his ACL after all

[silk torrent]

I bit the bullet because I wasn’t missing it but

I’m in a bad way now lol

[topaz escarp]

Like bad bad?

[topaz escarp]

Im baffled. Still laughing and shocked by this

[vague hearth]

Thoughts on eze > Neto

[silk torrent]

Probably missing this week of work to heal the ankle lol I was hobbling out of levels on our last night there

It was a situation where I knew I’d make the ankle worse but I couldn’t miss the experience so I knew what I was getting into

Between the ankle and my head being fried after drinking everyday since Friday I’m in need of rest to say the least

[silk torrent]

Hilarious lol we’re mccooleys merchants

[silk torrent]

Not bad but if Eze is healthy seems a bit redundant

What’s the latest on his injury

[limpid hazel]

ehhh olise gone

[topaz escarp]

Hell yeah

[silk torrent]

Oh yeah 2 months out isn’t it

Hard to say without much information but Olises injury seems like it was very mismanaged by the club

Probably a Reece James situation where it’s going to keep occuring regardless though

[limpid hazel]

Hodgson is dumb

[silk torrent]

I love that both bowen and jota went down and up in price respectively

Last night

Right as I’m planning a move for them

[silk torrent]

I think this is my moves for this GW

and then the team i get in 25 is pretty good

bowen there to play if gordon can't, then palmer can be played in 25 if gordon can't

and i end up in 26 with 9 fieldable players but 2FTs in the bank

[vague hearth]

hey man

yeah that looks good tbh

not thinking of foden>gvardiol

[silk torrent]

could do that gvardiol is to raise funds by selling porro

so

it's not that i love gvardiol

he's just necessary

without freeing funds i can't make any moves. ngl i got foden over kdb this wouldn't be the headache it is but

hindsight and all

[vague hearth]

not sure if you’ve seen my promoting gvardiol propaganda lol

[silk torrent]

i have

it's him or ake

for me

[vague hearth]

be my faviroute city defender

horror spelling

[silk torrent]

whoever is most nailed to play 90 mins in both games

bar walker

is who i want

my budget is like 5.2

[vague hearth]

if pep keeps playing 4231

[silk torrent]

so its gvar or ake

[vague hearth]

gvardiol and ake are the most nailed

i’m in a similar spot as you

i’m anticipating having to sell gordon

[silk torrent]

indeed

[vague hearth]

but also i’m going toney>nunez

[silk torrent]

i think he'll be gathering dust on my bench for now

toney could save me a headache for 26 bc he plays but

im high on darwin as a pick

[vague hearth]

i get the nunez hype

but he’s not for me

jota and taa will be my pool

[silk torrent]

fair. i weighed it and if i went for jota i couldn't move solanke

for the next two gws which is what i have wanted to do

[vague hearth]

yeah i think selling solanke is best over the next couple

i’m annoyed i can’t get kdb but is what it is

benching estu in 25 will be tough

[silk torrent]

after that brentford game

foden is fine if you cant get kdb lol

it will

if he's looking sharp in spurs and looks set to start

[vague hearth]

yeah i want triple city attack but not willing to part with saka for it

[silk torrent]

i might start him over saliba

but that decision came come down the line

[vague hearth]

yeah in your case i like gvardiol even less because you bench a very good defender

[silk torrent]

im just hoping darwin + gvar pays off a -4

[vague hearth]

i mean i bench moreno against fulham

which isn’t great but

[silk torrent]

well if i dont get rid of porro

im not sure where i can raise budget from

i seen gordon to garnacho raised as a shout

[vague hearth]

what’s your team ID

[silk torrent]

i dont hate that

3034125

[vague hearth]

yeah you have 8 attackers tbf

bit of a waste of a transfer though

[silk torrent]

it would be just budgetary in nature

and he's playable

[vague hearth]

instantly saw a -8 you could do

means you’d have to bench someone really good though

[silk torrent]

i've been going back and forth on these transfers for about an hour now lol about to call it a wraps as i dont think anyone who affects me is changing price

[silk torrent]

you have my interest now

[vague hearth]

i did
porro to doughty
bowen to foden
solanke to darwin

actually that probably fucks you for 26

wouldn’t do that actually

[silk torrent]

it does, i've looked at doughty

his upside is great for 24/25

but he blanks and my other def is kabore who also benches

so no coverage

[vague hearth]

yeah you can’t really go for luton

idm what you’ve got but you can get foden pretty easily

and jota

[silk torrent]

yeah i just need to take a -4 and i can get any of foden/jota/darwin

foden playing 26 is appetising i'll admit

but i want that liverpool attacker

[vague hearth]

yeah i’m trying to get you darwin and one of foden/jota

my base transfer was solanke to darwin

you definitely need a defender for 26

[silk torrent]

for sure, porro, trent and kabore blank so

it's a pickle

[vague hearth]

depends how much you want foden

[silk torrent]

right now porro> def that plays in 26 and frees budget is my first transfer

[vague hearth]

i’d check which gws you’d want to use this defender too

[silk torrent]

then it's either solanke to darwin or bowen to jota/foden

[vague hearth]

i’d defo buy a pool player this week

[silk torrent]

i don't think any major price updates are happening tonight so

imma sit on it for now

[vague hearth]

could go for ait nouri

[silk torrent]

first half of the season definitely easier than the second lol

[vague hearth]

oh yeah

[silk torrent]

yea i seen wolves have a good run

[vague hearth]

hard to justify buying a non dgw player though atm

[vague hearth]

Are you seriously getting Darwin in over Toney?

I may go for Dawson

[silk torrent]

Potentially

[limpid hazel]

There's no way people are actually getting Luton players for the double lol

A double with Liv A in it 😭😭

And then a blank

[silk torrent]

if you have them it's a nice bonus but they've got pretty limited upside. that said they have been scoring a lot of goals recently and playing very good

just not enough upside to warrant using FTs surely

[vague hearth]

Buddy

double luton

[silk torrent]

delightful

solanke haul will be top tier

i'm settled on my darwin plan

only question is do i get gvar or someone else

[vague hearth]

Get Foden

[silk torrent]

Rather have someone from liverpool I feel the attacking upside from Burnley - Brentford - Luton is too big to miss out

Foden better not steal all the glory from Kdb and haaland that said

[vague hearth]

get all of them

[limpid hazel]

This is why I'm planning on doughty in for gw28 lol

Not for the 25 double

[limpid hazel]

I'm taking haaland out in 28 for solanle

I think my wc will be in 31. 30 fixtures are good

[vague hearth]

@silk torrent going triple liverpool

[silk torrent]

I hope you can field a team in 26 lol

Trent, jota, Darwin?

[silk torrent]

Bold but haalands fixtures aren’t that good around then so I see the vision

[topaz escarp]

Charlie Taylor likely back this week. That helps me so much

[vague hearth]

with a -4

[silk torrent]

not bad

darwin + def who plays in 26 for a -4 is probably my move. idk how i feel about taking a -4 when it's solanke and porro i'm moving who could return

but i think darwin can pay the -4 off quickly between burnley and dgw

[silk torrent]

just did a bunch of planning ahead and i could field this team for 29 hypothetically

everyone except gordon and kabore guaranteed to play

i might just build towards this

every week before i still field a comfortable team

and it plays good for 30 before i wildcard

plans are all good until some shit happens but

it's a baseline, and if injuries hit i just use FH

bunch of ways to do it but 29 w/o fh is actually looking feasible

[vague hearth]

any hits in that?

curious because i’m trying to do the same thing

had to take a -4 in 24 26 and 28 but can field 11 in 29 and have 6 doublers (25) and 3 doublers (28) with a full 11 in 26

[silk torrent]

that's with no hits

if i take a hit along the line i can pick up maybe doughty for 28

i only have solanke for 28 right now

[vague hearth]

yeah i get 3 doublers in 28

[silk torrent]

which i find acceptable if im honest, stacking players for 28 without hitting yourself in the face in 29

[vague hearth]

luton probably play 29 btw

[silk torrent]

ah yes they do dont day

they play city

i forgot that

[vague hearth]

i’m getting doughty now kaminski in 28

mainly because i have raya

the only week i look thin is 26

[silk torrent]

i'll post my 26,28 and 29 teams in this plan

26 and 29 are not incredible teams by normal GW standards

but for the long term plan i'm happy with them

[vague hearth]

yeah i got something pretty similar

can post mine if you’d like

[silk torrent]

go for it, it can change in certain ways but the gist is that it's very possible to have solid teams w/o chip usage through this period up to 29

[vague hearth]

just put players in for 26 tbh

i’ll look at it closer to the time

[silk torrent]

they're solid

you just have to be comfortable in those weeks knowing there will be people with stronger teams but

i'm down with it

in this plan i'd probably do tc25/28, wc31, bb 34, fh37

bb and fh liable to be switched around depending on fixtures

late bench boost just doesn't appeal to me because it's so far removed from my wildcard

i'll be pulling this quote out when i get injury stricken in like 27 or something

[vague hearth]

yeah i mean i think 26 is the only week where i guarantee a red

a -4 with mcatee and branthwaite

[silk torrent]

you have some players with big upside in 26 though

outside of mcatee you could get great returns on all your attackers

so you never know

[vague hearth]

i mean yeah idk

still need to weigh up if 3 hits to not fh29 is worth it

[vague hearth]

I’m getting nkunku out untill gw 30

https://tenor.com/view/pep-gif-22015970

[limpid hazel]

Wouldn't bank on it, you're relying on united to win a game

[silk torrent]

Always a scary thing to have to do

Luton playing 29 would be so convenient

You’d get them for 28, 29 and they have forest in 30 I think

[vague hearth]

i’m going off of probability

[silk torrent]

So you can pick them up and carry them right to WC

United on their current form should beat forest, and city will beat Luton unless some insane game happens

Which you never know to be fair

I think by the time I touch a Luton player it’ll be known if they play in 29 anyway

[vague hearth]

still don’t really know what i’m doing this week

cba to sort this 29 think out rn

[silk torrent]

my final gw29 team

[silk torrent]

did we all captain haaland

pls let this be the week i get back to greens

[vague hearth]

47 so far

4 to go

[silk torrent]

i'm on 50 with a -4 so

46

Bowen, Palmer, Watkins, Saliba, Areola left

Saka is inspiring fear in me

[vague hearth]

great score that

5 left too

sensei saved your ass lmao

i’m guessing anyway

[silk torrent]

I made such a hail mary play getting him

he really did

9 pts on 2% eo

[vague hearth]

moreno did that for me last week

it’s so nice

[silk torrent]

18% green, saka is the main threat to me

[vague hearth]

palmer for me

4 above saftey

watkins raya moreno saka for me

needs to be 10+ for me to feel confident of a green

[silk torrent]

I think Watkins and Saka are safe bets for you

You need palmer to flop and I need saka to lol

[limpid hazel]

Jota

[limpid hazel]

About the same place here lol

44 with moreno Watkins palmer Gabriel left

You cooked ngl

Damn my green is like 4k 😂

Tight one

moreno is still a big rank gainer for me

Palmer and Watkins EO have dropped a bit atleast

Palmer at like 85%

[vague hearth]

12% green

[silk torrent]

Watkins EO is actually as low as it’s been for a while at least he’s lower than palmer I think

Well for me

You’ll also be fearing Saka today that’s good to know

[vague hearth]

Redsix

I’m up rn

We are up rn

Saliba goal

i own raya lmao

[silk torrent]

i went from a 33% green when saliba to scored to like 6% now

but we'll take it

areola on a -1 bludddd

[topaz escarp]

Not much, but it’s honest work rn

[silk torrent]

Saka haul is hurting

Can’t lie

I was on 33% green arrow at some stage now I’m on a 2% red

[vague hearth]

wow

sad

live fpl just glitched

on a green after that game

[silk torrent]

That’s Saka for you

[vague hearth]

saka+raya

[silk torrent]

Ffs

[vague hearth]

wish i had one of the centre halves but hey

[silk torrent]

I have saliba but

Saka brace was not it

That’s the last threat to my rank played anyways

I have palmer and Watkins left

If both of them have a good performance I should get a green

[vague hearth]

still got to survive palmer

moreno is the big one for me

ive gotta survive watkins

why would you sell watkins lmao

i get saka but watkins

for haaland

it was the only move i couldve done

budget reasons

don’t tell me you sold him before sheffield

yes i did lol

bruh

i still got a green last week tho

how

wtf

cuz im like 3 mil in rank

currently on 60 points with palmer left

68 with watkins and moreno

I’m ready for a palmer haul

[vague hearth]

Apparently Trent is out for 2 months

that’s a bs rumour

I wanna get Trent out anyways

Idk to who

[silk torrent]

You must be in a luxurious position to use that transfer

[vague hearth]

Redsix

Hojlund In is the move

toney in this week

if taa is out get regulion

ez

[vague hearth]

Brentford arnt gonna keep a cs at all tho

Even after the double

i’m planning for 29 too

west ham and chelsea are decent fix

and he’s on corners

[silk torrent]

Tell me how I have two defenders pop up for 12 and 8 pts and I have haaland captained and still get a few

Red

I hate saka

[vague hearth]

not having high eo is kill

i’ll have my ass handed to me tomorrow

[silk torrent]

Yeah and the fucker has burnley and Sheffield in his next 3

I need KDB to start a decent number of games ahead and perform to balance out not having Saka

I can get jota/Diaz in for next week if I want

I might weigh up what it’ll cost me in 26

To alter my plan

[vague hearth]

i don’t think buying pool is worth now

2% green

palmer left

[silk torrent]

Yeah I’m being reactionary most likely

[vague hearth]

redsix how many points

[silk torrent]

Bowen has a good streak of fixtures left

66

[vague hearth]

bowen is a dead pick atm tbh

[silk torrent]

With palmer

[vague hearth]

71 all out for me i’m so fucked

[silk torrent]

He’s been on an awful run but he plays in 26,29 and he has good fixtures all around

I think hedging my bets with him might my safest moves

[vague hearth]

60 points after a -4 with palmer left

[silk torrent]

Yeah I’m on 62 actually I have a -4

3% red

[vague hearth]

no paqueta kills him

[silk torrent]

When is that fucker back

“Unknown return date” always good to see

[vague hearth]

2% green redsix get on my levels

[silk torrent]

If I’m being optimistic I’m saying he’s only had kudus back two games and it’s been against United and Arsenal

[silk torrent]

I wish I was ranked 3 million for this

This is a good team for next week

Plus a haaland TC

Could even start palmer

Last Chelsea city game was goals galore

[vague hearth]

how much itb

[topaz escarp]

Keep on going

Let’s win this shit😭

🥳

[silk torrent]

Gah damn he keeps going

[topaz escarp]

My state rn

With Palmer left

A few would own Gusto and a few don’t own Palmer. I reckon 72 is my lowest and 65 peak after this week

[silk torrent]

Norway has got a few good guys hasnt it

5 in the top 70

[vague hearth]

kinda need taa

may go a week early on regulion if he’s out

solanke to toney is pretty much locked for me

[topaz escarp]

We have the second best fpl player of all time as well: Finn Sollie

Quite a few of the all time best players from Norway

[silk torrent]

Norwegians like their fpl, the more you know

[silk torrent]

@topaz escarp keep Bowen or pick up another dgw? Foden probably because he plays 26 too. Though I’m down one player who can play 29 then.

[topaz escarp]

I’d keep Bowen, even though west ham look terrible rn

[silk torrent]

Yeah he’s become quite a hard hold

He has good upside in his games to come if they can just start scoring again

[topaz escarp]

Yeah it would be weird to sell him now. Even though they’re completely out of form

[silk torrent]

Anyone not using TC for 25?

[vague hearth]

i dont have it

[silk torrent]

@vague hearth that palmer return must’ve hurt

[vague hearth]

Ended the gw on 70 points after a -4

[silk torrent]

72 for me

0.6% red, I’ll take it after sakas mega haul

I survived the week

[vague hearth]

good green to small red

[topaz escarp]

I’m just keeping on getting greens

Up to 63rd now

[silk torrent]

You’ve joined me

That’s exactly how I went

Just gonna field my team as it is for 25 most likely

Unless any news comes up

[topaz escarp]

A guy I know is now top10😳😳

[silk torrent]

Fair fucks

I’ve had a dark descent from 150k

Getting rid of saka may be the point where my season goes awry when I look back

But fuck it we ball

[topaz escarp]

Nah if you’re 150k you can easily manage a decent rank. You don’t seem like a bad player either

[silk torrent]

i was 150k like 3 GWs ago lol, i'm currently about 270k now

but yeah first full season

it's been a learning experience

i'm optimistic about my plans still

[topaz escarp]

Still a good chance tbf

[silk torrent]

top 100k is my season goal

i like my chances

[topaz escarp]

And top 100k is not a bad rank in any way

[silk torrent]

i feel like next GW could be lacklustre because i only have 4 doublers and potentially 3 if trent doesn't play

but overcompensating on doublers will be a lot of people's downfalls in 26 i think

i'm gonna consider bowen to foden if it doesn't impact my 29 too hard

[topaz escarp]

That’s a shout. Foden is highly owned

Might punish you

[silk torrent]

yeah

it gives me some fire power for 25

i just need to look at the impact it'll have for the blank gws

[topaz escarp]

If Trent is fit I’ll probably stick with this. TC Haaland

[silk torrent]

yeah my set up is similar

well kind of anyways

if i do foden then senesi is a) playing if trent is injured and b) i'll have to field him when he has city next week

i'll have 10 for 26 if i do foden

hmm

[vague hearth]

just waiting for news

nish we can do atm

[silk torrent]

yeah i can afford foden comfortabtly so unless there's price changes involving foden/bowen i'll just chill

[topaz escarp]

Agreed. Play the waiting game

[vague hearth]

Who told you to get saka? Me buddy

Do I play Porro/solanke over plamer?

This is gonna be my team gw 26 but Porro replaced by a Bournemouth defender (prob snesi)

And if I roll I’d have 2 ft I’d prob get colwill out too

you need a lpool attacker

Richy > jota

?

But salah gets back like in 2 days then imma be crying

And bgw 26 is an issue

solanke to nunez?

if you like him

[vague hearth]

wait till friday then we will know

But then I’d need solanke back and I got him at 6.6

your goal is to get points

not build team value

get who you think scores points

If I do solanke to Darwin I’m 0.2 off anyways so id have to take a hit to replace someone like Porro

If I did that I’d prob get reguillon

I could do this and it’d set me up real nicely but idk how long imma want to keep Darwin for anyways

[silk torrent]

I mean not having a liverpool attacker is bad news for you but idk if there is a point getting one now

you'll get darwin for dgw25,gw27 and then you'll want solanke back for dgw28

[vague hearth]

Solanke run untill gw27 tho is ass

Newcastle away then Man City at home

[silk torrent]

show ur team

[vague hearth]

@silk torrent

[silk torrent]

fuck it punt on darwin

he's a king

agod

a god

[silk torrent]

Trent out, had to be done

I’m thinking this is my move

Back to back hits is somewhat controversial but last weeks hit did pay off big

[vague hearth]

Imo I’d sell Bowen over palmer if your free hitting gw 29

[silk torrent]

I’m not so that’s why it’s Palmer out

[vague hearth]

Fair enough

[silk torrent]

I’m gonna give it pondering before I do it but

I’d like the way my team is set up big time for 25 with foden

Though I’d be benching Gordon or Bowen for it

[vague hearth]

Do I start palmer over Garnacho?

[silk torrent]

Probably garnacho

[vague hearth]

Palmer has more xP
