[thin jasper]

im on 35 😭

[kind egret]

yeah but you still have Son

[thin jasper]

i regret captaining son

i forgot he played on monday which is stupid because i definitely knew that too

[lavish parcel]

if son doesn’t get anything

I might retire

[thin jasper]

now the salah fomo is gonna be so bad til then

[kind egret]

im fine with captaining Salah all tw

but its going to be a while

[thin jasper]

anyway next week is haaland time

[kind egret]

I am not looking forward to that

[thin jasper]

i think i can catch up tmr and monday

got doku, son captain, udogie

and haaland ofc

and henderson but everyone owns him

[kind egret]

got Son, Solanke and Udogie on Monday

[thin jasper]

effectively six players but every day that passes i have more faith in leicester

[kind egret]

how did this happen

[lavish parcel]

oh I can definitely catch up

[thin jasper]

maybe i spread too much leicester slander

[zenith jolt]

36 with 5

[lavish parcel]

it’s just pain for now

[kind egret]

tbf against RC Lens you were woeful

[zenith jolt]

could defo be worse but pretty stinky

[thin jasper]

nah what am i saying we are getting thrashed

son captain is to just heal the small pain

[kind egret]

Will Still helped my FPL team

fyi

[lavish parcel]

if jota didn’t score

…

[thin jasper]

thank god jota scored

[kind egret]

Trent would have gotten more points

[thin jasper]

beat all those bruno owners

[lavish parcel]

I think I’d have deleted team

[kind egret]

if Jota and Diaz were more clinical

[thin jasper]

jota couldve had another too

[kind egret]

are these Bruno owners in with us in the room right now?

[thin jasper]

i hope bruno owners are coping well with their high xg

[zenith jolt]

We’ll see in the coming weeks buddy

[lavish parcel]

I swear if my spurs don’t perform

[kind egret]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

Bruno owners realising he's propped up by pens

[thin jasper]

i am praying bruno blanks for the next few weeks

i will repost this image so many times

[lavish parcel]

excited to have haaland

[thin jasper]

he better get a goal and some bonus i sacrificed trent and another 10.0 midfielder probably to get him

[kind egret]

glad i got Hall over Konsa

[thin jasper]

had a really really good game after the red card

[kind egret]

ngl Trent is extremely xLively

[thin jasper]

before the red card he got exposed a bit and got a yellow but whatever

[kind egret]

id be shitting bricks if i dont have him

[thin jasper]

if southampton had better players newcastle wouldve for sure conceded

they created a ton of chances

[thin jasper]

concerning but i will cope without him for now

quansah getting hooked was brutal

[lavish parcel]

that’s what happens when you triple up on a team

[kind egret]

I thought he was too good to be true

[zenith jolt]

quansah killed my team

[lavish parcel]

the moment schar was sent off

I knew it was done

[kind egret]

now you're stuck with a 4.5 paperweight with Quansah

[zenith jolt]

have to play konsa ARS bc of quansah

[kind egret]

plus you have to spend a transfer

I can just accumulate an FT which is a massive dub

https://tenor.com/view/celebrations-goals-soccer-football-dive-in-gif-24373278

[lavish parcel]

hope my team can survive to gw4

3 fts over the break

[thin jasper]

I will probably do Quansah and Son to Trent and the most in form midfielder in GW3

depends how good son is though

[kind egret]

[lavish parcel]

I heard ollie didn’t have a good game

[kind egret]

tbf that Bailey decision at 22' was absolutely shocking

[thin jasper]

I watched til Onana scored then I stopped watching because I forgot I dont know why I stopped watching

Oh I watched that too

[kind egret]

he should have squared that to Watkins

[thin jasper]

Think I turned it off after that

But I wouldn't be like terribly concerned if I owned Watkins

[lavish parcel]

gonna watch chelsea city at a bar tonighr

need some haaland magic

[kind egret]

I can switch to Havertz if its really a big problem

[thin jasper]

Maybe Smith Rowe or another city midfielder or a chelsea midfielder 😭

slim pickings

id really want martinelli but im not sure hed start

[kind egret]

literally between a baugette and toast at a bakery

[thin jasper]

actually villa have super nice fixtures from GW3

Bailey 👀

[lavish parcel]

I mean it’s ollie or bust isn’t it

[lavish parcel]

worried about ucl rotation?

[thin jasper]

I mean the way things are going for me Im going to need to get rid of Quansah

[kind egret]

really convincing stuff

[thin jasper]

and Ill probably get rid of Son GW3

so GW3 Son and QUansah to Trent and a midfielder makes a lot of sense

but one CS wipe in GW2 and Trent having a quiet game will derail that probably

[lavish parcel]

yeah I like that

wouldn’t mind a 0-0 in the early game today

[kind egret]

Salah, Jota stocks

[thin jasper]

GW3 Chelsea, Villa, Fulham, and City ish have nice fixtures (and southampton but if i have to support bbd in a game again ill probably end it all)

[lavish parcel]

who’s falling?

[thin jasper]

I imagine Watkins

Murphy

[kind egret]

Sancho

Rodri

Yoro

Shaw

[lavish parcel]

lol casuals

[kind egret]

relax a wee bit until the GW is over

[lavish parcel]

god I hope not

[thin jasper]

cant believe rogers and quansah didnt provide value 2.0 above their price

they are supposed to give premium value at fodder price this isnt fair

[kind egret]

4.5s dont produce the output of a 6.0 defender?

Austerity defences sobbing

people who started with 4.0 in their 11

[prime plinth]

50 with 5 left isn't bad ig

[kind egret]

Barco was a nice bait

[thin jasper]

Im starting Faes next week 😭

Do I gamble on Quansah starting

[kind egret]

you're finished

[thin jasper]

or is he just done for

[lavish parcel]

put him in

he either starts or doesn’t play imo

[kind egret]

I min maxed my 4.0s to not put myself in a shit position

[lavish parcel]

and it’s not like your other guys are any better fix

[kind egret]

Got Sangare, Greaves and Bednarek

[thin jasper]

im screwed if I actually need to rely on this bench

[thin jasper]

Hopefully he starts, and learns from today

[kind egret]

I think Quansah is doing defending drills as we speak

[lavish parcel]

the art of defending.mp4

planning on getting mitoma in for Murphy if I choose to downgrade Bruno? Good or bad for gw4*?

[kind egret]

i always thought Quansah would make a good name for a Buckwheat or Oatmeal product

Brighton's fixtures arent the best

[prime plinth]

He needed to last 15 more minutes. Never again will I own this guy

[thin jasper]

I mean GW4 and GW5 look great but Brighton dont have a consistent green fixture schedule for a while

[prime plinth]

To make things worse Ipswich should've scored

[kind egret]

but do you want to wait until every fixture is played first my man?

[lavish parcel]

Home games tax

is mitoma even nailed

[prime plinth]

Brentford and Utd to both score

Mud that cs for Liverpool

[lavish parcel]

he should be

[thin jasper]

no we must kneejerk to the every slight bit of information we get

[thin jasper]

cant imagine hes not

hes their best player (right?)

[prime plinth]

He is

[lavish parcel]

maybe in 4 I get him

I don’t want to go without brighton for that mini run

[prime plinth]

I will go without. Zoom out

[thin jasper]

I own Mitoma in draft

[lavish parcel]

(assuming wc6)

[thin jasper]

My draft team has more points than my real team

[lavish parcel]

no obvious issues in my team but my points are terrible

[thin jasper]

I mean if you wildcard GW6 then for GW4 and GW5 you gotta at least double up brighton right

[kind egret]

Man Utd celebrate a 1-0 victory against Leicester

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/538763095472996353/1155367139277017198/856595553021984779.gif

[lavish parcel]

depends when I use earlier fts

[prime plinth]

Gordon and Murphy owners a bit unlucky. Concerned by Newcastle performance before the red tbh

[thin jasper]

monday is going to be devastating when we lose 1-0 with zero attacking prospect, and spurs just dominate the ball the whole game, and son and udogie both blank

[kind egret]

this is a mitigating circumstance that does not really affect the judgement of both Gordon and Murphy

[thin jasper]

I thought Gordon was pretty good

Before and after the red

but Newcastle were definitely concerning before the red

[lavish parcel]

not making any assessments on newcastle until next week

[prime plinth]

My striker

[prime plinth]

Under 40% possession before the red

[lavish parcel]

eh

[prime plinth]

Might see them be a good defence again with Tonali coming back

[lavish parcel]

russell martin’s always been a ball hogger

[kind egret]

28th of August

[thin jasper]

using possession as a matter for anything meaningful is stupid

[zenith jolt]

Villa mid will be template

[kind egret]

xG isnt goals scored

[prime plinth]

Yeah Southampton maybe underestimated

B. Diaz and Armstrong could be downgrade targets

[zenith jolt]

Don’t laugh at me but on a budget McGinn at 5.5 looks good value

[lavish parcel]

need to see more

[lavish parcel]

is he on pens?

[prime plinth]

Delap in gw3. Cold

[zenith jolt]

Potentially

[kind egret]

https://tenor.com/view/bake-making-cooking-real-life-gif-23915373

[thin jasper]

surely tielemans is on pens right?

[zenith jolt]

I think tielemans ahead of him if he plays though

[prime plinth]

Ramsey better

[lavish parcel]

I don’t think I want ollie anymore

unless solanke turns out to be a dud

[prime plinth]

Idk if I want him for 9m but he's a good option

[zenith jolt]

Please explain

[kind egret]

Ollie giga haul against Leicester

[thin jasper]

he is cooking and spills everything

[prime plinth]

Probably no reason to get a rid of Solanke first 5 unless he completely flops

[lavish parcel]

villa guys are so hard to read

[zenith jolt]

Idk how id get watkins

[kind egret]

We dont know if he's on Pens, GW isnt even done yet, I think the 5.5 bracket is just a massive value trap

[zenith jolt]

Isak to havertz gw6 looks obvious

[lavish parcel]

the only really exciting one is bailey

[thin jasper]

really hate how both villa scorers today were dead goals

[kind egret]

thats just me

[lavish parcel]

and he’s a minute risk

[thin jasper]

bailey had a really good chance that he shouldve scored or at least squared

[zenith jolt]

I already own rogers so if he keeps his place thats nice

[lavish parcel]

when europe comes around

[kind egret]

Watkins will play every game hes basically available

[prime plinth]

For sure

[lavish parcel]

of course

[prime plinth]

Which is a good thing and bad thing

[lavish parcel]

but he’s not a 90 minute guy anymore

[prime plinth]

He will be

[zenith jolt]

I really dont like how watkins isnt on pens too

[lavish parcel]

cl though

[prime plinth]

Close to 90 minimum

Villa can't afford to bench the best player

[lavish parcel]

I can see more early subs

[prime plinth]

Villa and Newcastle stealing wins is annoying for Tottenham

[zenith jolt]

Facts

[lavish parcel]

65 minutes they’re 3 up on everton and have real madrid on wednesday

he’s coming off

[prime plinth]

He'll have a brace by that point

[lavish parcel]

but he’d probably have done the damage

[kind egret]

When does the CLdraw

btw

and we have this League system for 2024/2025

[lavish parcel]

honestly I don’t hate the league system

[zenith jolt]

Its good

[lavish parcel]

just hate that there are more games

[kind egret]

its more games

[zenith jolt]

Just more games is ehh

yeah

[lavish parcel]

this channel is chill

muted #fpl_chat

[zenith jolt]

Filtering out people that dont know how to use threads

[kind egret]

[zenith jolt]

Effective idiot filter

I have the second most cloned team in the game

All because of Andy

[lavish parcel]

I have no clones in the top million because my team isn't good enough for the top million

[kind egret]

im in the top mil

[lavish parcel]

(yet)

[kind egret]

just barely

[lavish parcel]

(until spurs play)

[zenith jolt]

Think they base it off top 1m IDs

for gw1

like how they base top 10k EOs on livefpl on top 10k ids for gw1

[lavish parcel]

we're 8k now

messages

10k by the end of the gw is doable

Ayy will be creaming if Haaland scores a Hattie, bro took out Salah and Saka to get him

More active too

if haaland gets more than one return I'll be over the moon

mainly because that'll be the last time haaland points actually mean something

[thin jasper]

imo delete this rmt

[zenith jolt]

How many messages did smooth rmt have

Was it 80k

[thin jasper]

i think 80k??

[zenith jolt]

yeah

[thin jasper]

smth like that

[lavish parcel]

I wonder what would benefit my team, Haaland hauling or not hauling

[thin jasper]

deleting this thread at 9999 messages

[lavish parcel]

People who have both Salah and Haaland will be over the moon

[thin jasper]

i will be there

[zenith jolt]

Did rmts from last season get deleted

[thin jasper]

dont think rmts ever get deleted just archived/closed

[zenith jolt]

If smooths didnt get deleted i reckon it could be on 300k

[lavish parcel]

why would it have been deleted

[zenith jolt]

was more active than fpl chat for a bit

[thin jasper]

because they were breaking rules in it and not using it for rmt purposes

kinda like this one

[zenith jolt]

people pissing about, basically just an offtopic thread

[kind egret]

wasnt smooth rmt thread just glazing

[thin jasper]

no it was just gatekept fpl chat

[lavish parcel]

jazzy has our back... right?
-# right????

[zenith jolt]

[thin jasper]

@cerulean cape delete the rmt it will be funny

[thin jasper]

hey sometimes its nice

but also this should just be fpl chat

[kind egret]

Yes, its just business for me here

lets keep it that way

[lavish parcel]

More helpful tho

[oak furnace]

What's wrong with Watkins?

I saw sometime say he was bad

[cerulean cape]

I'm here to spy and report back

[violet temple]

Rollllllll

[cerulean cape]

Wheres the chase 0.1m from mazraoui

He was very popular in chat yest

[latent depot]

yeah, Quansah to Mazraoui is peak

[lavish parcel]

happy to do nothing this week

unless...

something bad were to happen

still got over half my team

[cerulean cape]

Spurs lose 1-0

Peak

[prime plinth]

Just give me a 2-1 win. Brace Solanke. Son and Porro blank

[earnest torrent]

Who's the pen taker btw is it still Son or now Solanke?

[kind egret]

we dont know

My best guess it's Son's to lose

[prime plinth]

Same thought

Which is why I was tempted to have him over Palmer. Just see more upside for Palmer long term

[lavish parcel]

my guess is that son decides if he wants to give them up

[violet temple]

Yo

Any reason why micky vdv isn't in the sims @lavish parcel

[earnest torrent]

What the fuck happened in this sim

[cerulean cape]

Skipp over £20m wtf

[lavish parcel]

own goal picking up his form from the euro

[latent depot]

Oliver "future Spurs captain" Skipp

[lavish parcel]

Do we need Haaland to score or not to score

Need no Haaland teams to be punished frfr

less than 100% EO so yea

we want him to bang

[kind egret]

I want to him blank

[lavish parcel]

No Haaland?

Imagine not having Haaland

[kind egret]

Yes

[violet temple]

To punish the salah ppl without haaland as well

[kind egret]

got 4 players left

[lavish parcel]

got 6 lol

[kind egret]

doing alright

[lavish parcel]

this gw is still in the balance

Got 4 with 47

[kind egret]

got 59 pts

from 7

[lavish parcel]

Need Haaland and Son to bang and palace to keep cs

I can tolerat ethat

Mitchell Goal from Munoz assist will make me so happy ngl

FPL gods, make it happen please

Weird to see Mateta start

[kind egret]

doing requests like a shopper buying products in CostCo

[violet temple]

47 with 5 left for me

[latent depot]

I want 8-13 points

[lavish parcel]

From Haaland or remaining assets?

[latent depot]

from Haaland

[lavish parcel]

So we need him to bang got it

[latent depot]

I have Salah/Haaland so I want both to bang to punish onenium teams, but I don't want Haaland to outscore Salah

[violet temple]

Too bad he's getting 14

[latent depot]

14 is ok

[cerulean cape]

I'm not sad if he gets 1 so 8-9 points

17+ ideal

Idm people can take -8 to get him in next gw

[lavish parcel]

Wish I captained Haaland

[violet temple]

[lavish parcel]

Never captaining non premiums

[latent depot]

wouldn't mind if he matched Salah, 14 is just a weird total and hard to get as a forward. 13 is 2G + 3bonus

[lavish parcel]

A cheeky assist?

We need Haaland vs Wolves performance

[latent depot]

I guess the most likely route to 14 is 2G 1A 3bonus, 1 missed pen

[lavish parcel]

Imagine he gets a 21 pointer

4 goals

3 bps

2 for playing

That would make up for Isak's captaincy disaster

[little delta]

the things i would do for a palace cs or munoz return

[lavish parcel]

I am ready to gamble my house for that cs

All of my grandpa's pension money too

Double it and give it to him

@latent depot Toney not on the bench, mbuemo looks sexy for wc6 teams

[prime plinth]

We are cooking

[violet temple]

Yea we got a good deal for him

[latent depot]

Quansah -18.1, Barco -1.6, Pickford -10.0 @slim bane

[slim bane]

At least I only have Pickford

And also didn’t triple Everton def

[latent depot]

Harwood-Bellis +2.3 benefitting from other 4.0s shitting the bed

[cedar hull]

Is this EV?

[slim bane]

fplstatistics

Price changes

[cedar hull]

Oh yeah course

[lavish parcel]

I am going homeless

[latent depot]

I can stop following now, will check back later and hope Hendo got 3 saves

25% bookies odds for a clean sheet what did people expect. would be annoying if Brentford keep a clean sheet, but can't afford Eze to get a return

[cerulean cape]

legit didn't care when hendo conceded lkol

in fact cos i have mbeumo on draft

[latent depot]

most engaged managers had palace defence, many with Eze so -4 is fine vs their -5

[cerulean cape]

yes

would trade hendo cs for eze blank

[lavish parcel]

I am gonna headbutt someone

[kind egret]

double CP defence

[latent depot]

I got him mixed up with someone else, yeah RIP bro's team

[prime plinth]

Double palace cs wipe

At least it was a sick Mbeumo goal

Brentford one of my favourite teams when they get going

Munoz is in good positions. Mitchell a little bit better positions

[latent depot]

looks like Schade/Carvalho competition at LW tho, RIP 5.0 starter

[prime plinth]

Schade has been great

Carvalho will need time anyway but he's only just joined

Palace been poor. Eze and Mateta make pressing less effective

[slim bane]

rip

[prime plinth]

Guehi sucks

Not actually but he isn't a 60m+ player

[cerulean cape]

had mbeumo 1st draft

and in actual draft

[latent depot]

Mbeumo a lock in WC6

[prime plinth]

Bro I had him and Kamada rotating in one draft but didn't seem value

Gw3 or 6 could get him or Wissa

[cedar hull]

English tax ofc

[prime plinth]

Yeah ig. Vdv for the price seems more and more like a steal if he can stay injury free

Already regretting taking Pinnock out of my defender rotation

Feel like Brentford could still some cleans at home across the first 12-14

[cedar hull]

Newcastle dont want a vdv type tho

They need a schar replacement

Botman will be first choice obv

[latent depot]

1 more hendo save please. save point is significant vs palace defenders

[cedar hull]

Idk if its jsut for homegrown quota, but newcastle seem to love an english talent

Gordon, livra, tripps, guehi

Can even add burn/targett

[cedar hull]

[lavish parcel]

will gladly take a munoz ass

definitely lucky

own goal assists aren't rael

[cedar hull]

Why tf is smooth muted

[lavish parcel]

Just need a Mitchell goal tbf

[latent depot]

Hendo save point, I'm satisfied

Might be Wissa/Mbeumo double up on WC6

[acoustic edge]

who knows tbh

[acoustic edge]

flekken/vald cockblocking

[latent depot]

Flekken 4.5 rotation might be the play

80% pass completion today and save bps, so he's going to farm bonus when Brentford keep a clean

He averaged 2 bonus per clean sheet last season, obv will be lower with the changes

[cedar hull]

I love Brentford defence, always been good for keepers but flekken was so poor last season it just deterred me

[lavish parcel]

Denied by Flekken???

[prime plinth]

Reverse psychology for my Munoz assist

Eze was scary but we move

[little delta]

eze robbed so hard

[prime plinth]

Palmer is really the key for me against Haaland

[prime plinth]

Always a foul

[little delta]

im on 48 with nkunku, haaland, and porro left

not bad?

[prime plinth]

Eze had Munoz open if he could've learned to pass man

[lavish parcel]

haaland and 3 spurs left

🙏

save me, fpl gods

[prime plinth]

Seems fine

[lavish parcel]

fpl gods, save me

[lavish parcel]

cucu wow

[prime plinth]

This game is pissing me off so much

Jackson literally had one job for me to have Palmer assist and not be mudded by Haaland

Also can this ref just call one of them a pen regardless of if it is or not

[lavish parcel]

would love one more haaland return

[earnest torrent]

do we think haaland gets enough kneejerkers for a price rise?

[lavish parcel]

wonder if any will be put off by how hard it is to get him

[earnest torrent]

can't wait for your bot to notify someone took a -8 next week

[latent depot]

Looking like a shit NBA team at the moment, which maxed out on 2 stars and can't afford solid role players

[slim bane]

hahahaahah analcord mudded with nkunku

ass pick from the get go

[latent depot]

So deserved

[lavish parcel]

midfielders below 10m all suck

[cerulean cape]

Non hindsight hated the nkunku pick

[latent depot]

Nkunku was in zero of my GW1 drafts

[lavish parcel]

may have been in one or two

out of like

dozens

[cerulean cape]

I had mgw above nkunku

[lavish parcel]

says it all really

[latent depot]

The closest I've been to picking Nkunku was having Johnson as a GW1-2 punt and placeholder for Nkunku/Bailey

[lavish parcel]

yeah same

but that was extinguished as soon as solanke signed and kulu started looking good in preseason

[slim bane]

only nkunku I have in my gallery (24/25 season) is of when I took a picture of analcord template

[lavish parcel]

when I said one more haaland return that is not what I meant

[latent depot]

On course for 8 points, which is what he needs for VAPM threshold

VAPM non-captaincy threshold i.e. great value even without captaining him

[cedar hull]

Really wanted the xgi merchant of johnson but the pick became dead anyway

[lavish parcel]

some spurs fans think he won't start tomorrow

[cedar hull]

Yeah wouldnt be surprised

Kulu, solanke, son ig

Damn kova might steal gvardiol bonus

[kind egret]

need Kovavic to steal Haaland bonus

yes

inject

[cedar hull]

Has sot bps been added tho

Kovačić (36)
Haaland (32)
Gvardiol (29)

[slim bane]

Fucking unlucky

[cedar hull]

Gvardiol cs 🔒

Wait ederson overtook him?

Ffs

[prime plinth]

Palmer should be fine. If Jackson stays onside he matches Haaland basically

Liverpool, City, and Arsenal keeping cleans is unfortunate. fine margins again with Bruno, Quansah, and Palmer

[cerulean cape]

Fuck why

[prime plinth]

I just got him for the long term. Has goal threat but the role sucked for this match. I thought he would've been central

[cerulean cape]

Imo there's no long term for him

Feliz

Felix

[prime plinth]

It won't matter as much against weaker opposition hopefully

[cerulean cape]

Osimhen

The club is fucked

[prime plinth]

We'll have to see if anything actually happens. Don't see why they'd take him out

[cerulean cape]

Yea

72 all out, no spurs

My worst 2 players blanked Henderson/Murphy + Gordon

8 players returned so not bad tbh

[cedar hull]

Need bps recalc

[prime plinth]

I just got cooked by Quansah coming off. Everything else was ok. Nkunku pick could become a complete flop but I was struggling at that price point

Should've just went Sonny or upgraded defence but oh well

[cerulean cape]

Nkunku to son?

[cedar hull]

[cerulean cape]

Team anal on 52+porro

[prime plinth]

I should've stuck with Bernardo

He was the only City mid I was looking at but I was like... Nkunku has more goal threat

[cerulean cape]

Which out of your 20 drafts had bernando

[prime plinth]

All 19 of 20

Just not the last one obviously

I also had Mitoma and Welbeck

Pep and Maresca don't even want the teams to play football

Seriously though Son's haul is going to be pain

[latent depot]

[cerulean cape]

How much all out?

[latent depot]

78

[cerulean cape]

[prime plinth]

Poch made me believe they could still offer attacking threat

I forgot Maresca thinks football is chess

[latent depot]

Barco clean sheet as expected and no Schar red card and no failures on this list

[cerulean cape]

Bb team from content creator

[latent depot]

got lucky with shit strategy and still outscored by some Salah(C) builds

[cerulean cape]

Quad spurs though

[latent depot]

lol didn't even notice

[cerulean cape]

3.5 really if you factor in minutes

[earnest torrent]

Still i think its worth it

Leicester Spurs is always a high scoring game

[cerulean cape]

Yes

[earnest torrent]

Except this time Leicester does not have a proper forward

[thin jasper]

Only one team will be scoring

[oak furnace]

64+porro and Solanke for me
Pretty happy
Schar making Murphy get subbed was the biggest letdown of the week I reckon

[earnest torrent]

Still 0-4 is considered high scoring right?

[thin jasper]

Not a great start for me I’m on 45 with Son captain and Udogie left

[oak furnace]

If Watkins continues looking shit I might even be able to have 4 free transfers going into gw6 wildcard

[cerulean cape]

Leicester win 1-0 please

[thin jasper]

🙏

[earnest torrent]

That would be so funny

The meltdown levels

[latent depot]

Leicester look already relegated, if Spurs don't trounce them, they're frauds

[oak furnace]

Right now I'm looking at
Porro to 4.5 villa defender gw3
Murphy to mitoma gw4

[cerulean cape]

As long as porro doesn't so shit

Solanke bench

Then we good

[oak furnace]

Don't need any other transfers

[cerulean cape]

Gw3 moves are dead

[oak furnace]

Why

[thin jasper]

Bro we are going to get Oliver Skipp instead of a striker I might end it all

[earnest torrent]

IB

[oak furnace]

We need to make a road to 10k messages league

[thin jasper]

Delete the rmt at 9999 messages

[prime plinth]

I was in a good spot the day of deadline. Just cooked my team by taking money out of defence. At least gw1 would suggest so

[oak furnace]

Obviously I'm not going to do the transfer at the start of the break

[latent depot]

can't fucking believe that all 3 premium GKs got 8 points

[oak furnace]

Gw1 had some great defensive fixtures
Arsenal vs wolves
City vs Chelsea
Liverpool vs Ipswich
Newcastle vs Southampton

[latent depot]

oh wait, Allison got 7

fraud

[oak furnace]

Pope got 9

[latent depot]

all 5.5 GKs on bonus is wild tho

[prime plinth]

Yeah hopefully long term I make it back

[cerulean cape]

Taa, saliba and gvardiol 20 points for 19m soso

[oak furnace]

Taa not getting any points for the first goal feels bad

[earnest torrent]

I rather bank the FTs in case something happens in the IB

[oak furnace]

Fpl needs to add in pre assist

Give Trent 2 points for it

[latent depot]

FPL Gameweek glitching on bonus points, it can't cope with FPL's late recalcs for SoTs

MAFFS

[cerulean cape]

They added a 2nd bonus

To everyone yea

[oak furnace]

My Salah only got 14 I was robbed

[latent depot]

common LiveFPL W

[oak furnace]

Yeh I will bank transfers but at the end of the break if nothing else has happened I will go porro to a 4.5 villa defender most likely unless another 4.0 shows up

[cerulean cape]

Rather have 3fts after IB

Then 2

[oak furnace]

Rather have a villa defender for the Leicester game

And enough cash to get mitoma for gw4 instead of having to settle for minteh who seems like a sub risk atm

[cerulean cape]

Fuck I misread cos fplgameweek.com

Team anal on 48+porro

Wtf

[oak furnace]

Lol

What's fplgameweek.com?

I only know livefpl

I've been using ffhub in this last week because of their money back mini league deal

I either win my mini league and win like $200 or lose it and get my ffhub subscription back

[cerulean cape]

Shows leagues

Make sure to log in ffhub every week

[latent depot]

fplgameweek is better than livefpl, don't @ me

[cerulean cape]

There's a dodgy t and cs

Where they try not to give money back

[oak furnace]

Yeh I'm taking screenshots

I have one from before gw1

[cerulean cape]

Agreed but live was og and has benefits

[oak furnace]

And one during gw1

[cerulean cape]

Use both

[oak furnace]

I'll have a look at fplgameweek

[latent depot]

also Live isn't currently glitched to fuck on bonus points

[cerulean cape]

Theres a default content creator league

[lavish parcel]

is this planet james?

[cerulean cape]

James ye

[lavish parcel]

thought so

[cerulean cape]

I counted 81+ quad spurs

[lavish parcel]

on one of the pods he mentioned buying solanke before the move

anyway

big day tomorroiw

I believe in miracles

cmon sonny

[cerulean cape]

Sonny can score

Just need porro flop and solanke bench

[oak furnace]

The guy top of my cash league benched gvardiol for nkunku even tho I told him to field gvardiol

[oak furnace]

Lmao you fully bet against spurs
Just looked at your team
70 all out

[latent depot]

70 is decent tho?

[oak furnace]

Yeh but more that he's fully against spurs

I'm hoping for 10+ points between Solanke and porro

[latent depot]

we all root against the assets that we don't own

[oak furnace]

Yeh saka cost me the most this week

[lavish parcel]

I mean

[cerulean cape]

72

[lavish parcel]

arsenal and liverpool are better teams

with spurs it's really just playing the fixtures

[oak furnace]

Oh right I forgot bonus

70 is good anyway

[cerulean cape]

Had 1 def and 1 attacker from arsenal, city, liverpool

[oak furnace]

I need 9 from porro and Solanke to surpass you

[cerulean cape]

I am tempted by Gordon to Diaz actually

Diaz 90 mins looks good

[oak furnace]

Diaz was our worst attacker

[lavish parcel]

when would you make that move

[cerulean cape]

This week

[oak furnace]

If anything I'd go to szoboszlai

[lavish parcel]

yeah I really want szobo

[cerulean cape]

But murphy and wood are 100% sells in gw4

[lavish parcel]

more than diaz

[cerulean cape]

So I won't

I like Diaz tbh

Really good positions

[lavish parcel]

think we need a bit more info on how minutes will be shared

[cerulean cape]

Darwin 0 minutes is yikes

[oak furnace]

If I can find 1 mil I'm going Murphy to mitoma if not I'll go to minteh

[cerulean cape]

Give him some pity minutes

[lavish parcel]

rolling 3 fts into gw4 does sound extremely juicy

hopefully nothing goes wrong

[earnest torrent]

Which GW does CL begins?

4?

[lavish parcel]

between 4 and 5

[oak furnace]

I just love how good the fixture swings are

[latent depot]

can't wait for Barco to start GW2

[lavish parcel]

oh he probably will

[oak furnace]

Barco haul GW2 vs United

I'm benching him for Robinson

[lavish parcel]

it seems that rotating the entire team every week is on tony bloom's list of essential manager skills

potter did it, rdz did it

[cerulean cape]

Someone made a good point

Barco is 5'7

Against Everton wasn't it

[lavish parcel]

it was mcgrr lol

[oak furnace]

Oh lol

[cerulean cape]

Didn't see it here but fair

[oak furnace]

He's getting benched vs Ipswich too then

[cerulean cape]

Did we see the reddit post

Fffest

[oak furnace]

Ipswich main threat is headers

[lavish parcel]

there was a fantasy fest this year?

[latent depot]

Hinshelwood had 11cm on Barco 170 vs 181

[oak furnace]

I wish I got greaves over Johnson but that burns guy looked like he did a hammy so Johnson likely comes in for him

FPL Mate got roasted on that

[oak furnace]

Lmao

Why does everyone hate fpl mate

[latent depot]

extremely smarmy and I hate his parasocial shit

[oak furnace]

Right

[latent depot]

wasn't aware of his other stuff cos I don't watch a lot of his vids

[oak furnace]

I didn't follow fpl closely last year

I think it's a good thing cos I came into this year with a clear mind

[lavish parcel]

didn't he have a bit of a spat with shag?

[oak furnace]

It's what made me Captain Salah over isak this week

[latent depot]

Slot might be the real deal, you can let go of Klopp

might be the first successful succession of a big name manager in the PL

[oak furnace]

When Klopp announced his retirement it pretty much made me depressed because a lot has changed in my life recently
But slot seems like a great manager

United got the wrong Dutch manager

[lavish parcel]

hope things are going alright

[oak furnace]

We good now

[lavish parcel]

least liverpool got one of their top choices

[oak furnace]

This was last year when Klopp announced it

[lavish parcel]

maybe alonso was the top but whatever

[oak furnace]

So I pretty much didn't watch any prem all of last year

[lavish parcel]

ninth choice nuno

[latent depot]

Challenge GW2 is unlocked https://fplchallenge.premierleague.com/manage/2

[earnest torrent]

Whats the challenge?

[latent depot]

something to do cos I presume we're all just rolling the FT

team already set, including subs

[oak furnace]

This was mine for last week

Haaland over havertz was a let down

[lavish parcel]

easy

[latent depot]

you outscored template. template has Isak over Saka

[earnest torrent]

Wtf is it just 5 aside all season long?

[lavish parcel]

wait

there's a budget

NOT easy

nvm

[latent depot]

oh shit, yeah, actually not easy

Haaland/Muniz/Wood and you're left with 8.0 for GK and 4th forward

[oak furnace]

This challenge is dumb cos you can't afford haaland

[earnest torrent]

Its Haaland or bust

[lavish parcel]

4.5 haaland muniz AA cannon

[earnest torrent]

Who's a starting 4m gk?

[earnest torrent]

Okay im assuming we have none

[latent depot]

surely Haaland (C) is worth

[cedar hull]

It's literally in his name

[earnest torrent]

If we start Jackson midweek might guve Guiu a try

[oak furnace]

Who is cannon

[earnest torrent]

A leicester forward

[latent depot]

15/5.5/5.5/5 and just take the on a 4.0 GK?

[earnest torrent]

But i think he's injured

[latent depot]

didn't someone sign Archer?

15/5.5/5/5/4.5 I guess

[earnest torrent]

Southampton

[lavish parcel]

they made it the perfect price to make haaland impossible

[oak furnace]

Guiu could easily score off the bench

[lavish parcel]

guiu

yeah

[latent depot]

Soton have Forest at home, so Archer

[oak furnace]

Fulham have Leicester at home

[earnest torrent]

Do we think Brighton has a chance against United?

[oak furnace]

All in on Southampton?

[latent depot]

fuck, Haaland is impossible, everyone else is shit

[earnest torrent]

Is fplchallenge 5 aside all season long?

[oak furnace]

I still think this outscores haaland

[lavish parcel]

they did this

[oak furnace]

It'll change every week

[lavish parcel]

on purpose

[latent depot]

yeah you're right, just had to look at the permutations first

4 away fix tho

[oak furnace]

If haaland gets 20*2 tho

Yeh I think we just risk it on haaland

[latent depot]

I'm going no Haaland as a hedge cos I have Haaland in normal FPL

[earnest torrent]

I mean we can fuck around here in challenge

[oak furnace]

Big brain is going this
Sels vs Armstrong and Archer
Because either Southampton score and they're involved or forest clean sheet

[latent depot]

I like it tbh

[oak furnace]

I need to go back to bed it's 5am here I'm just taking the piss these days

[latent depot]

well, not Sels, you're limiting your ceiling

[oak furnace]

Idk why I'm awake

[oak furnace]

Yeh but you're helping the floor

Owning haaland is the ceiling

[earnest torrent]

I still think this can cover Haaland x2

[cedar hull]

The whole point of FPL challenge is to maximise the ceiling no?

[oak furnace]

I reckon it depends on how highly owned haaland is

[latent depot]

will change cap to solanke if it emerges that he has pens

[cedar hull]

1 point

[latent depot]

nice, you beat template

[earnest torrent]

Its all or nothing for me tomorrow

What can possibly go wrong

[cedar hull]

Pickford

[latent depot]

unlimited budget and you go all in on Spurs

with PICKFORD

[earnest torrent]

Its just vibes

[latent depot]

at least go Vicario wtf

since you need clean sheet on Porro anyway, why not double up

[earnest torrent]

I'm usually uncomfortable with a double up in def anyways

But yeah i have no idea why i ended up on pickford

[latent depot]

oh wait, goals are worth double points, so Haaland is necessary. 1 goal with captain is 16 points

[cedar hull]

I only see 3 players

I like it tho

[latent depot]

Jebbison got a cameo GW1

[cedar hull]

Tempted by jp over muniz tbh

Its united

[cedar hull]

Evanilson will be registered by then tho

[latent depot]

let's be honest, it's banking on 53 points from Haaland (hat trick + 2 + 3 bonus)

[cedar hull]

Ofc

Hes worth it

Its just the other players around him

No keeper is probably the play considering you cant predict cs

[lavish parcel]

How many points are you guys at?

I feel I am gonna be the one with least points

All my picks got unlucky,

Mitchell could have had a goal if Eze could have just passed it
Schar decided to be a moron and get a red, Murphy and Isak suffered
Bruno kept wasting his chances

[cedar hull]

Im sure you had equal amounts of positive variance tho

[lavish parcel]

GW2 looks more promising

[latent depot]

78

[lavish parcel]

Szobo and Munoz with a cheeky assists

[cedar hull]

You are overperforming rn

Inherently lucky statistically

[lavish parcel]

Havertz proved nice tbh

Just need to work on captaincy

[lavish parcel]

I need to be open minded to captain away games players

[cedar hull]

@lavish parcel this is your score compared to the average

[lavish parcel]

59 with Son left

[cedar hull]

Youll be fine

[lavish parcel]

Livefpl says I am about avg

[cedar hull]

Yes thats in terms of points

[lavish parcel]

2.3m rank

[cedar hull]

This is in terms of expected data

[cedar hull]

Thats literally fine, you gotta remember theres probably 5 points between 1 and 2m

[lavish parcel]

Wait actually?

6 points for 1m and 11 for 500k wtf

[acoustic edge]

what software is this on

[cedar hull]

Fploptimized

[lavish parcel]

Hoping son to match saka's points in first 2*

Everton don't have a RB

[cedar hull]

?

[lavish parcel]

Young got red

And Patterson and Coleman are on sidelines

Son plays them GW2

[cedar hull]

Both injured?

[acoustic edge]

ty 🙏

[cedar hull]

Not always a good thing, could go more defensive with a cb at rb or smth

[cerulean cape]

keane rb

😢

[cedar hull]

Will probably be something random like garner

[cerulean cape]

he's also injured

be holgate

The Reddit post got to him

[lavish parcel]

Wonder if they opt for 5 atb

[cerulean cape]

maybe don't be a cunt

[latent depot]

the guy who posted that also posted this

solid 🍝

[lavish parcel]

What did I miss

[latent depot]

dumb drama

[cedar hull]

[lavish parcel]

Did FPL mate do that?

[latent depot]

2 accounts corroborating it tho

[cerulean cape]

that bit isn't new

the hate was warranted

[lavish parcel]

Gimme the tea guys

[cerulean cape]

🍿

[latent depot]

what even happens now, is he going to make a public apology or some shit? would be surreal, but he has a public profile and how does he continue his day job without addressing this? dumb as hell

[lavish parcel]

Who was the content creator that made that comment?

FPL mate?

[latent depot]

yes, FPL Mate is taking s left, right, and centre in that post

[lavish parcel]

That's crazy

[cerulean cape]

mental health

he will continue

fan boys are strong

• they will never meet him

[oak furnace]

Yeh pope over Raya
Wait doesn't my haaland beat U with bonus

[zenith jolt]

[latent depot]

FPL Mate drama has multiple threads now, saw one deleted as well

The attacks on his appearance were weird/too far

[zenith jolt]

meanwhile the other end of the spectrum

[civic heath]

‘After he saw the guy had posted recently about his dad dying’ is such a weird reach

[carmine tree]

Guys a cunt

had to add my experience with him

[civic heath]

When did you meet him and what happened?

[carmine tree]

didnt meet him, just from what he was like on discord

[civic heath]

Oh

[carmine tree]

Kaki met him

[civic heath]

I know and said very positive things about him

[carmine tree]

heh

[civic heath]

Nah that is wild bitterness and exaggeration

[carmine tree]

oh lol you have the screen 😄

[cerulean cape]

lmao

[civic heath]

I was intrigued by what he could’ve said to upset you as it didn’t sound like the sort of thing he’d do

But yeah.. saying no to a dm request from a stranger - wild

[carmine tree]

did you read the context before?

he's actually still in the server wtf

[lavish parcel]

Lmao ban him

He's a disgrace

[civic heath]

Can’t see anything that justifies your, at best, exaggeration. What are you referring to?

[civic heath]

How so?

[lavish parcel]

Did you not know what's he upto?

[civic heath]

Enlighten me

[lavish parcel]

He literally was bullying in his stream to some guy whose dad died, and said nothing will bring him back to get a cheap ass laugh

[civic heath]

Do you have any evidence of that very serious accusation?

[lavish parcel]

Literally go watch the stream

[civic heath]

Which stream was it?

[lavish parcel]

If he hasn't taken it down yet

[civic heath]

Because I’m fairly certain this never happened

Given, you know, that it sounds like something that would never happen

[lavish parcel]

It wasn't a stream my bad

[civic heath]

Ah, convenient

Where was he bullying this guy about his dad passing away then?

Seems like another nonsense rumour, like people calling him racist despite him being mixed race

[cedar hull]

You cant be racist because youre mixed race?

[carmine tree]

I have black friends

[lavish parcel]

Just look at his twitter by searching FPL mate bullying

[civic heath]

No, him also not being racist certainly helps though

[carmine tree]

is that a massive coincidence btw?

[civic heath]

Could you be more specific?

I’m guessing it isn’t though

[zenith jolt]

jordon with an o vs a

[cedar hull]

[civic heath]

This was the same day he turned down your request for him to dm you lol

[carmine tree]

and?

[civic heath]

Just funny that you’ve held a 3 year grudge because he didn’t want to dm you, a stranger, on his birthday

[carmine tree]

I've not said anything about him until today, i just brought up my one interaction with him

[civic heath]

You didn’t just bring it up though

You joined a dogpile with a lie / exaggeration because you wanted clout

[carmine tree]

clout from what?

I'm not the guy making money from shit betting websites or FFH

[civic heath]

Joining the dogpile on everyone’s favourite community whipping boy

[civic heath]

Lies again 😂

Literally the only creator who has a pledge against accepting betting sponsors

[carmine tree]

does he promote ffh?

[civic heath]

He turns down thousands of pounds every year from betting sponsors

[civic heath]

Yeah absolutely, he’s their main guy

It’s a great tool

[carmine tree]

yes, yes he is

oh its

[civic heath]

It’s part of his job, better to promote good tools than terrible ones / betting sites

[carmine tree]

sorry it was lost in the T&C's

[civic heath]

Idk what that means

[cedar hull]

Hes promoted an nft fpl game before

[civic heath]

I’m guessing you don’t like hub and that’s okay

[cedar hull]

And ffhub isnt great, they had a huge data leak a year or so ago

Loads of peoples fpl accounts got hacked cos of it

[civic heath]

Was 2/3 years ago, but yeah that was bad

[cedar hull]

Which is mostly why they are hated

[civic heath]

That’s fine, but he doesn’t have to hate them?

[carmine tree]

you seem to have a lot of info on mate

[civic heath]

And no one has to use them haha

[cedar hull]

Hes not the only one but the nft game has been promoted a bit

[civic heath]

I agree that only one of us seems to know what they’re talking about

[carmine tree]

yea well you cant be wrong all of the time

[cerulean cape]

i don't watch or know him myself but out of interest. why does the community have such a negative view on him?

[civic heath]

Yeah fair, that’s not ideal for sure. Personally I don’t have a problem with creators promoting betting anyway, just saying it was unfair to accuse him of it

[acoustic edge]

fpl mate is someone making a living unbelievable that something like this constitutes as drama lol

[civic heath]

My assumption is 99% jealousy

Also, it’s that classic thing of people hating things because they’re not the target market.

People see something that isn’t designed for them, and rather than just scrolling past and moving on with their lives they get angry at it

[carmine tree]

what is this nonsense

im not angry or jealous of a no one

[civic heath]

Clearly ^

[carmine tree]

but guess what, when people make stupid comments online people can reply

and have an opinion

[civic heath]

Yeah I agree

His style is not for everyone

But idk what stupid comments you’re referring to

[carmine tree]

he has a history of talking shit. The racist stuff, the calling people cunts for "copying" his team, commenting on some gys dead father

i only brought up my issue because i was trying to be nice and give him a role in discord

[kind egret]

@lavish parcel you accumulating transfers this time round

[lavish parcel]

uhh

assuming nothing happens to my team

[kind egret]

I'll probably accumulate and charge on without City

going to be whole load of arse clench

[civic heath]

There was no ‘racist stuff’, fairly sure he called the copyers virgins which I think was a dumb thing to say but also a very fair comment and I’m not buying this nonsense about him bullying a guy for his dad dying - unless this happened in the last 24 hours it’d be common knowledge

[civic heath]

All that happened was that he said no when you asked him to dm you, there was no context about you giving him a role

[carmine tree]

so calling people virgins as a slur is ok now?

[civic heath]

It’s just not that deep, he shouldn’t have done it though obviously

Because obv will offend incels

[carmine tree]

i notice that nothing seems to be that deep on what he says but everything against him is

[civic heath]

I’ve not called anything deep

[carmine tree]

you just did?

[acoustic edge]

i think if you’re cooking him on that you’d need to cook half the internet

[civic heath]

Exactly

[civic heath]

?

[carmine tree]

we aint talking about half the internet tho

[civic heath]

Exactly, which is why he shouldn’t have said it

But, given it’s the only accusation that seems to have any truth in it, that alone isn’t a valid reason for thousands of people dogpiling on him

[cerulean cape]

you're both not gonna get anywhere with this

it's just back/forth on the same thing

[civic heath]

Haha fair

No reasoning with someone that thinks dogpiling is okay because someone said no to your dm request 3 years ago

[carmine tree]

I made one comment on my exp with him in 3 years

I've had him blocked on X for like 2 years after that virgin copy team bullshit

people dont like him because he's a cunt

thats what it comes down to

[civic heath]

From the look of the Twitter comments, everyone that meets him thinks he’s a lovely guy

And I’d rather trust their view than anyone on reddit

[carmine tree]

[cedar hull]

At least we got the word count up

[carmine tree]

wtf is this thread anyway

[cerulean cape]

useful rmt for ayy

[oak furnace]

the best thread of the rmt server

[carmine tree]

Didn't realise that Jordon was an admin of mates server, explains a lot

another discord server that seems to like emojis in channel names 🤮

can see all the content creators clambering to get more than their 100 online discord when this goes live

[slim bane]

safe to say this was a failure of epic proportions especially as I would’ve capped Salah over isak

wtf since when was this thread invaded

[slim bane]

I may accelerate my moves idk yet

see how price changes dictate the state

[kind egret]

yeah I'm in a ok position as of 10:35 AM

[lavish parcel]

think it'll be better in the long run

[slim bane]

It’s 24 points down

so I could’ve taken -8 to get Haaland in for 2

Smh

Obviously not going to reverse the move now tho that’s past

[lavish parcel]

me reconstructing salah in the aggregate with three liverpool players that all do something differnent

[kind egret]

I chosen no Haaland, now I need to lie in bed with this choice

[slim bane]

[kind egret]

Will reevaluate later

[lavish parcel]

pov: aston villa in summer 2021

[oak furnace]

Fuck that sucks man

It's small moves like that, that define your outlook on the session

[kind egret]

Shame I'll be in bed, whether I will wake up to disappointment or joy

that'll decide my day

[slim bane]

booooooo to the midfielders

[oak furnace]

I'm waking up at 5am for the spurs game fuck it

[slim bane]

Everything else was on point

[oak furnace]

Pickford 1 pointer

[kind egret]

Should have gotten Jota as he was tapped as the 9

[lavish parcel]

hey you're doing better than me

[kind egret]

actually

[slim bane]

I don’t have spurs

I'm stupid
