sake -4 or son basically

[oak furnace]

Imagine without a needless hit

[cerulean cape]

we're counting all fts as --4s

[cerulean cape]

this guy was crying earlier wtf

[oak furnace]

I'm crying about my useless hit

[prime plinth]

At least I didn't do mykolenko to Gvardiol

Kdb though I was keen on him but just never stuck with it

[lavish parcel]

anyway

gonna afk the next game, I have no stake in it

[oak furnace]

I got overexcited by the chance to make a move

[lavish parcel]

haven't checked rank yet

[oak furnace]

Didn't consider the fact that owning Murphy itself was a move

[lavish parcel]

but I imagine it's pretty good

[oak furnace]

Murphy gonna haul now

[prime plinth]

No City cover was always playing with fire. Hopefully I can make it back from 3-6.
If Palmer flops I'm in massive trouble

[cerulean cape]

do yiu want to know

[oak furnace]

[cerulean cape]

i'll tell you your lemur rank

[thin jasper]

am i out of the bottom 3 in lemur yet

🙏

[cerulean cape]

above me

[prime plinth]

Fine margins again though. Couple things go differently and Bruno has 20 points in 2 gws

[cerulean cape]

wtf you cooked

[lavish parcel]

chouda

[cerulean cape]

chouda and gaem only 2 no haaland

andreas forgot cap

[thin jasper]

think i get faes off the bench for quansah too

insane luck

(in before quansah 1 point cameo)

[cerulean cape]

you do too lol

nice

[oak furnace]

Nah quansah injured

[prime plinth]

To punish my team build Haaland needed to score a hattrick basically. Guess he did

[oak furnace]

I need to just live with my decisions

[prime plinth]

At least Tottenham smashed Everton

[cerulean cape]

newcastle need to play like spain

and it can be saved

[thin jasper]

need a hall cs and idrc what isak does

[prime plinth]

I need the rest of my players to do a lot

Haaland doing well is whatever. Everything else has just been the frustrating part. Just went too early on Palmer with the likes of Son and Kdb as short term options.

Little bit unlucky with Son ig moving to striker

[cerulean cape]

i';m 2m now, would be 450k with tc so everything is close anyway

palmer not played yet

he can haul

[prime plinth]

Yeah Palmer is the deciding factor for if I can claw this back

Well Salah captain also important ofc

[oak furnace]

I actually got so overzealous this week

[frank mulch]

What we doing with porro (I have no bench)

[oak furnace]

Trading to Villa defender

[prime plinth]

Bruno and Solanke really just messed up everything for me

Quansah ofc was supposed to get me to gw4 but that didn't work out

[cerulean cape]

[prime plinth]

I didn't know

Margins are so close and when lowly owned players like Muniz and Bruno fail it really sets you back

At least I can be somewhat content with the decisions for the picks

[zenith jolt]

Decent gameweek so far

[cerulean cape]

porro, robinson, pedro and haaland tc

[zenith jolt]

yes sir

[frank mulch]

Does wood get 1 last week @latent depot

[latent depot]

Why wouldn't he? Nketiah deal isn't done yet

[cerulean cape]

75 mins minutes today

even after ycx

subbed after the goal

seems nailed tbh to start

eddie hasn't played football for a whole year anyway

[latent depot]

Eze and Bruno consecutive blanks helps me cope with Newcastle attack GW1 and Hendo double blank. Wood YC just annoys me tho

[fleet oracle]

Henderson has been a total scam. Could be worse though, could be a Pickford owner

[cerulean cape]

hendo is mass owned so it's fine

although bad choice if wc4

[fleet oracle]

Not on wc4 thankfully

[cerulean cape]

and andersen leaving too

reckon this means guehi stays tho

[latent depot]

TBF Brentford away and West Ham with entirely new squad are trickier than they looked on paper

[cerulean cape]

b2b defeats

[latent depot]

Guehi was captain today

[cerulean cape]

ye

[latent depot]

Can't believe the most predictable hat trick ever actually happened

[fleet oracle]

How did they look? I missed the gw1 palace game, and only saw about 20 mins of the game today

[frank mulch]

at least flekken gets saves

[latent depot]

Palace are a mess with new arrivals and lots of sales

Hendo got a save point GW1, which was a nice honest differential point over their defenders

[fleet oracle]

I’m glad the only palace I went with was Henderson. Eze tricked me last season, not happening again. And defensive double up on them was never an option

[frank mulch]

the temptation to do isak to watkins

gw3

[latent depot]

Yeah much happier that my palace dud is a 4.5 GK and not the 7.0 mid

Can always dunk on Pickford owners anyway

[fleet oracle]

Disappointed porro didn’t get an attacking contribution, but 2 returns in 2 games is why he was in my gw1 team

[lavish parcel]

if flekken makea a decent amount of saves tomorrow and cleans gw3

I'd be pretty happy

[fleet oracle]

Now I just need some good returns from my Double Newc, double chelsea, and triple pool

[lavish parcel]

but then he's probably the best keeper on most wcs regardless

[fleet oracle]

I had flekken in my team from the first draft to almost the last, then took him out for Henderson 2 days before deadline

[lavish parcel]

yeah idk what other keeper I'd get

mayyyybe areola

[prime plinth]

Not having Son for a 16 pointer feels so bad. Usually always have him for hauls

Nld is a guaranteed goal

[lavish parcel]

areola to christmas is good

then there's a nasty run

[prime plinth]

If Palmer fires all will be forgotten

[latent depot]

People sold Son after GW1 now they get baited by CF Son, only for him to return to LW

[lavish parcel]

eh

depends if solanke's still out

[prime plinth]

Yeah I'd only have wanted Son to start the season

Solanke to Muniz was a great move🥶

Stacking up the xgi

[lavish parcel]

yeah sod it areola on wc4

[prime plinth]

Confirmed Leicester is a guaranteed blank for strikers

[lavish parcel]

all depends whether newcastle start to look like prime barca or prime stoke

because there's no middle ground, right???

[frank mulch]

couldve started with him gg

[slim bane]

Ffs

[frank mulch]

now i could spend a ft on him rip

[prime plinth]

Savio in soon?

[lavish parcel]

oh god nedel came on

[prime plinth]

Gw7 could be a play for Savio. Ig Bernardo could play rw though

[frank mulch]

@slim bane youre on newcastle triple up still right?

[slim bane]

No I sold Gordon for Foden

[latent depot]

Had no idea you were contemplating such big brain moves in GW2

Just assumed everyone without Quansah/Solankle was rolling their FT

[slim bane]

I wasn’t either

Until 10 mins before deadline

The idea of city mid against Ipswich

Hard to resist

[latent depot]

Moving forward Trent's transfer out to avoid Liverpool's GW2-5 is truly

[slim bane]

[latent depot]

I haven't been online for either deadline, maybe consider that

[slim bane]

Fr

[latent depot]

Rare Ayy W with double Arsenal defence

[cerulean cape]

https://x.com/NeoTHFC/status/1827387476031238214?t=Y32BLEnUZWinC0-oynHSrw&s=19 need this

Newcastle 7-0 Spurs

Isak 1’, 2’, 3’,9’
Murphy 37’
Botman 80’
Jimmy 90+3

Twitter · Aug 24, 2024, 4:48 PM

[latent depot]

ah fuck

[cerulean cape]

If he gets 1 goal gw3, then 6 ppg is decent

Especially other cheap forwards are flopping

[latent depot]

yeah, but would have been so nice

[cerulean cape]

I needed it ye

[latent depot]

can't complain, didn't want to feel Eze owner's pain

[cerulean cape]

You have 6 left right?

Triple triple

[latent depot]

yes

need so many goals tomorrow

[cerulean cape]

I'm on 50 with 5 left

[latent depot]

that's nice

[cerulean cape]

Lucky saliba cs

Reckon he gains bonus after re calls too

Have murphy/jota vs nkunku against team anal

[latent depot]

[cerulean cape]

I'm 1 point behind

Raya getting 5 more points than saliba is yikes tho

[latent depot]

Raya was such a dead pick, now getting bonus and save points every game wtf

[cerulean cape]

Ye and he's kinda slightly owned yoo

Too

[latent depot]

might need to get rid of any Newcastle mid who blanks

[cerulean cape]

One more week

Spurs good fixtures

[latent depot]

both now at -55%

[cerulean cape]

Although another Gordon blanks means 7.4m

Another wood goal today was free 0.1m

[latent depot]

need Gordon/Murphy to assist each other

fucking Schar

Wood could have got G+A today

[cerulean cape]

Team anal on 122 now

Taa/isak/nkunku left

[latent depot]

are you tied

[cerulean cape]

123

Gordon, jota, Murphy vs nkunku

Hopefully like 24 vs 1 lmao

Avg players left is around 4.2 as well

[frank mulch]

Gordon needs to do something

[cerulean cape]

Just score at least 2 goals Newcastle

At least have something to cheer

[frank mulch]

Gordon to Mbeumo gw6 is perfect

On paper

[cerulean cape]

mbuemo will be 100% eo in gw6

basically like isak is now

[cerulean cape]

can go gordon to mbeumo for 1 gw punt for me 😮

[latent depot]

warra pick Wood is, 2.5M discount on Bruno

[empty glen]

Fr fr

Bruno isn't a good FPL pick imo

[frank mulch]

Unai Emery says Ezri Konsa "is comfortable" playing at centre-back and now prefers playing either Matty Cash or Kosta Nedeljkovic "playing in their position" due to changes in the build-up structure this season.

#AVFC

Twitter · Aug 24, 2024, 7:42 PM

4.0 easy

[thin jasper]

Quansah to Nedeljkovic what could go wrong

[oak furnace]

Can't believe Raya has 2 Hauls to start the season

[oak furnace]

This actually sucks
My original plan was to go
Porro Solanke to nedeljkovic Watkins

Except I got trigger happy on the transfers and changed my plan

[broken patio]

Already in my team from gw1

[frank mulch]

ahead of the game

[oak furnace]

Nah I actually cooked it guys

[broken patio]

Went for barco and nedel with the hopes that one of them will pay off

[oak furnace]

I went for barco Johnson
With the thoughts I was going to transfer in a 4.0 for porro in gw3

The 4.0 would've been nedeljkovic but now I changed my plans

[lavish parcel]

nedel on wc4

is cash like, dead dead

he did his hammy again

I imagine he'd be out for a lot of time

[slim bane]

Pickford to Flekken here we go

@cedar pine meh run for new tho

this is flekken

If I held off Foden could’ve gotten .1 more TV cos he’s dropping smfh

[oak furnace]

its so annoying cos my original plans wouldve seen me get him
now I have no real way to get him

[lavish parcel]

I wish I had kept son, would be at 69 points

Szobo, murphy and Isak to go with 55

Not the end of the world

Need to do something about double palace wbs tho

Palace are so shit compared to last year

[oak furnace]

if i did no transfers id be on 76(tc haaland) with trent jota salah isak

I thought palace looked good last week

[lavish parcel]

They are dogshit bro

[oak furnace]

why tf did i get eze then

[lavish parcel]

Raya carrying my team so hard

Bro gave me 17 points in 2 games

Legend

[oak furnace]

yeh raya somehow insane pick

[thin jasper]

got double liverpool attack, then either a 1 pointer from quansah or faes 7 pointer, and isak + hall so i could be on for a decent gw

[oak furnace]

i need to not lose the plot now that I made one shit decision

[oak furnace]

quansah was said to be injured

[thin jasper]

on tuesday

[lavish parcel]

Really need Liverpool to concede tomorrow

[thin jasper]

and could maybe train on either thursday or friday i forgot

[lavish parcel]

Still gutted from taking Son out knowing Everton don't have a good backline

[thin jasper]

you transferred out son after gw1?

[lavish parcel]

Yes lmao

[thin jasper]

???

[lavish parcel]

Foden looked like a differential

[thin jasper]

surely if you had son gw1 you at least would hold for one more week

[lavish parcel]

Thought he was a waste of 10m

Didn't expect Solanke to not play

Made the move before the pressers

FML

[thin jasper]

he wasnt even going to drop...

[thin jasper]

also surely if you were to go for a city midfielder it would be kdb or doku

[lavish parcel]

Even mcgrr said kdb is better

No one knew he was ill

Until the leaks after the utd game

To make matters worse, I have mbuemo for Bruno now

[thin jasper]

think foden wouldve literally been the last midfielder i wouldve gone for

[thin jasper]

out of the city ones

[lavish parcel]

He played 45 so I thought he would start

Mf got ill

Already used the transfer to get mbuemo in even tho all the games aren't played at

So reactionary oml

[thin jasper]

either way selling son after everton shipped 3 goals to brighton is kinda weird

surely you brought son in for at least two gws

[oak furnace]

I should've watched palace game from gw1 before getting Eze
I saw that he scored that free kick that was ruled out from bullshit

[lavish parcel]

Yes

He was supposed to be for 2 Gws

But then Foden played

[thin jasper]

anyway idk what to do with son now

[lavish parcel]

45

[thin jasper]

like my plan was to ship him so i should stick to my plan but its hard to

he looked really uninvolved from an fpl standpoint when solanke was up top though

[lavish parcel]

How long is Solanke out for btw?

[lavish parcel]

Yeah that's why I sold him

[thin jasper]

i assume if hes not back for newcastle he will be back after intl break

[lavish parcel]

But I got fucked

Son is just so unpredictable with his returns

Remember his brace vs Arsenal at the Emirates

[thin jasper]

thing is if i dont sell son now, then i wont sell son after newcastle and then i wont sell son after arsenal either because hes got good fixtures after that

[lavish parcel]

I would roll the ft if I were you

Use that move for other position

[thin jasper]

realistically i should sell him for this stretch though

but if i were to sell him id get saka and im not sure the upside is high enough for that

or id get trent for quansah

could do something like this

except mitoma vs arsenal isnt great

[thin jasper]

also savio got slightly hurt which is why foden was brought on

[lavish parcel]

wonder if I'll keep sonny next week

[thin jasper]

its hard to sell him but i think if you dont sell him this week youll keep him til you wildcard

[little delta]

is 52 with 4 to go a good score this gw

[thin jasper]

so its pretty much how much do you believe in son

[lavish parcel]

I expect saka to outscore him against brighton

next week specifically

[thin jasper]

idk if its a green arrow its probably fine

[lavish parcel]

but that would pretty much mean committing to wc4

[thin jasper]

I mean we havent seen Newcastle play

[lavish parcel]

exactly

that will decide it

[thin jasper]

we see newcastle ship 2-3 goals against bournemouth and im for sure keeping son (definitely going to blank vs newcastle)

[lone glade]

On 51 with 5

[thin jasper]

i hope quansah doesnt come on tmr 🙏 🙏

[lone glade]

That’s a red for me

[thin jasper]

lmao no salah

[lavish parcel]

59 with 5

technically 6 but zero expectations for flekken

[thin jasper]

61 with 5 but i think quansah wont play so then itll be 68 with 4

hopefully

[lavish parcel]

faes?

[thin jasper]

ye

tbh in the unlikely scenario quansah starts im also happy with it i just dont want him to get a cameo thatll be really annoying

[lavish parcel]

if flekken saves a salah pen, I'd win massievly

but again not expecting that

[thin jasper]

think flekken is more likely to get a 0 or less score

henderson with a massive 4 goals conceded and 3 points in 2 games

istg im so bad at picking goalkeepers

[lone glade]

Chances nkunku doesn’t play and I get faes off the bench

[thin jasper]

very unlikely

[lavish parcel]

in the 20/21 season it took me until gw12 to get my first clean sheet from a keeper

yes I remember

it was that frustrating

Need Liverpool game to end 1-1 ngl

[thin jasper]

it mightve been last season where i started with areola and ward who didnt keep cleans then i moved to like dubravka who didnt clean, it was a nightmare

no two seasons ago

we werent in the league last season 😭

idk i think im merging seasons together

anyways im horrendous at picking goalkeepers

[lavish parcel]

why do I interact with TAT

[twin ice]

the fuck are you on about

[cerulean cape]

Turns out i don't need to use wc4 but if accept gordon/saka vs rogers/salah

[lavish parcel]

the main thing I like about wc4 over 6 is you can slowly step off liverpool

and honestly as a no-salah owner I might want to have him in 4 and 5

[cerulean cape]

Yes

My thoughts

Odegaard over havertz in this cos I get to keep pedro

Pedro/Rogers rotation for 7th slot

Rogers is too good to not own

• I can go havertz if I change my mind

[lavish parcel]

you'd still choose hendo?

or did you just forget to change it

[cerulean cape]

keep

https://gyazo.com/2b224fdd25ccc06519aa456dcc309c3b

i would choose brighton gk if knew who

[latent depot]

Hendo 10 pointer vs Chelsea

[lavish parcel]

if flekken ends on positive points I'll take it

[cerulean cape]

need jota to match

then i'm happy

[kind egret]

this is a Salah hattrick moment

[prime plinth]

That Arsenal cs is annoying

Watkins sold

[zenith jolt]

Didnt go arsenal defence in hope theyd clean 2/first 5

Already 2

[slim bane]

They’re one of the few teams you could’ve counted to hit 2/5

Unfortunately I don’t know enough attacking ball and viruses to pick a good attack

[zenith jolt]

Just thought one team would score gw1 or gw2 tbh

wolves defo could have

villa too ofc

look a bit leaky

the bad run is 4,5 anyway

[slim bane]

Tru

[latent depot]

Murphy to assist Isak and Gordon

Quansah -> Lewis/Hall owners are cursed

Trent -> Lewis owner tho

[latent depot]

bit leaky = 2 save points, 3 bonus points for Raya, warra casual pick

[lavish parcel]

nkunku benching made my day

[cerulean cape]

^

well not really

need newcastle haul

and tbh, did I need justification nkunku was a bad pick? not sure lol

nkunku being high on models is a wild mystery to me

pedro/bruno/eze yea cool

[slim bane]

nkunku and Bruno analcord kings

[cerulean cape]

bruno is fine

you can understand it

[latent depot]

models not adjusting for bundeslige tax and long term injury tax

[cerulean cape]

did the model not adjust for chelsea being a club in choas

chaos

and a club that signs a new player every 4 days

jota needs to haul today to punish

[latent depot]

Ayy, can you go troll analcord with this please

[cerulean cape]

@zenith jolt @slim bane @cedar hull can you send some screenshots of anal meltdown please

[latent depot]

Szobo goal today for +0.2 from Nkunku gang

[cerulean cape]

eze, bruno, nkunku

[lavish parcel]

"wahalli" 😭

[cerulean cape]

-0.1m from all

could be down -0.5m tbh

nkunku should drop twice tbh

[zenith jolt]

Isnt much anal meltdown tbh

A lot on tc

Oh you mean nkunku

lol

[slim bane]

Is going Foden to kdb for a -4 crazy

[violet temple]

Yes.

Unless he's out for a while

[prime plinth]

My season comes down to ice cold Palmer

[latent depot]

picking an asset that you don't want

[violet temple]

Review merchants cba

[slim bane]

He’s not

But -4 for .2TV

[latent depot]

Foden at 9.4 on WC6 helps out with Arsenal attacker price rises

[zenith jolt]

yep

[prime plinth]

No Haaland triple city and triple Arsenal is the way

[zenith jolt]

a saka fall would be nice although unlikely

[prime plinth]

No shot

[zenith jolt]

combination of people aggro selling in gw4 for wc6 then b2b blanks in 4,5 but wont happen

[latent depot]

not owning the player who's going to average a goal per game, with bps changes where that first goal is worth 1+ bonus is wild

[prime plinth]

Tbf we been saying this would never happen with the transfers

[zenith jolt]

Did sort of aim to go into wc6 with 3ft but now looking like 1

[prime plinth]

Tbf I was Son over Palmer and Bruno converting xgi away from not needing Haaland despite a hattrick

[cerulean cape]

wc4 with 4fts into gw6 is likely for me

[prime plinth]

Yes Haaland will do well but over 3-6 if he can have a couple poor games. Hopefully that's where I make ground

[prime plinth]

I've just had some tilting variance so far

Arsenal escape with another cs

[cerulean cape]

wow they don't even care much

they just have a 6.5m mid on their benches

[prime plinth]

Bruno and Muniz can't convert anything

Solanke getting injured before Everton

[lone glade]

just join it even im in it

lmao

[cerulean cape]

i would be a troll

[prime plinth]

Nkunku will score off the bench idk why people are stressing

[lone glade]

the thing is

i'll take his 7 pointer

from faes

[zenith jolt]

#1 analytics hater.. id give you 3 days

[prime plinth]

I mean Nkunku is guaranteed to come on let's be real

[lone glade]

unless they cruising

imo

[zenith jolt]

ill probably hold nkunku

depending on the midweek

[latent depot]

nkunku banging the bench when Wolves score

[prime plinth]

I was off Nkunku for so long but the amount shots he was getting in good areas tempted me enough

Clearly should've stuck with the initial thoughts

[cerulean cape]

i shouldn't be one tbh, i majored in maths and stats

[zenith jolt]

only real regret so far is going nkunku henderson over esr raya

[cerulean cape]

do i go to the pub to watch this

[latent depot]

it's not about maths, it's about the principle of deferring to a blackbox algo for a decision making game

[cerulean cape]

true ye

i'm not against the model

[latent depot]

people know that I don't even watch football (and I play up to this a bit) and I'm all about the numbers, but my decisions are not close to theirs

[latent depot]

you haven't done it yet, have you?

[quick dawn]

no

[fleet oracle]

My jackson punt looking well

[prime plinth]

Never in doubt

wc3 anyone???

[cerulean cape]

murphy

newcastle united football club

discuss

[cerulean cape]

one more game

wc4

[cedar hull]

Murphy to Rogers ig

[lavish parcel]

I like that

murphy is currently at -65

a drop is plausible

[slim bane]

already taking a -4 for foden to kdb

not looking good bruv

[lavish parcel]

wc3 doesn't really stand to gain anything because the fixtures next week are just so bad

unless you go all-in villa

assuming most people have 0 villa

[cerulean cape]

gonna play murphy vs spurs tbh

as long as he starts

[latent depot]

might be ditching both Newcastle mids

fuck Schar

[lavish parcel]

the home/away delta for newcastle really is showing

Can’t believe I swapped madueke for nkunku

[lavish parcel]

my son pick doesn't look as hot now

you could say it's cold

[fleet oracle]

Is son 10 or 10.5?

[slim bane]

10

OKAY

now we're talking

this is NOT GOOD

fuck off

it was inevitable

well, Murphy to Rogers before price drop I guess

but but he doesn't return in away games

oh thanks for reminding me

[cerulean cape]

gonna keep murphy,, eze/watkins will drop so i'll be fine

I need to code the best/worst transfer

-24 is poss

no comments

[cerulean cape]

3 bonus is huge if he keeps

he's keeping 2 easily actually

the rest are no where

Greaves points for Nkunku loading let's go

Can't believe he actually has 0 minutes

[slim bane]

big sad

[prime plinth]

Should've had a bench attacker fr

[little delta]

Is everyone selling nkunku

[prime plinth]

They told me bench doesn't matter and I listened

[slim bane]

if youre in this thread with nkunku gtfo lmaoo

[prime plinth]

Yeah he's gone

[slim bane]

rip

[cerulean cape]

well this thread has 1 more week only cos murphy had flopped hard too

[latent depot]

[prime plinth]

Nkunku was an ok pick but there was obvious risks. Just looked sharp in preseason so I ended up with him after telling everyone not to get him for a month

[cerulean cape]

barnes actually playing well too

[latent depot]

no he wasn't, Nkunku was a shite pick

[cerulean cape]

scared murphy bench now

[prime plinth]

Nkunku was a fine pick. He played a lot of preseason minutes and was getting in good positions for shots at 6.5m

[cerulean cape]

might buy matias jensen for 1gw punt for murphy lmao

[lavish parcel]

lmao

I can't afford mbeumo, would if I could

[prime plinth]

Nkunku can be moved. Not many did well around that price

Eze even despite good numbers

[lavish parcel]

savinho for one week?

west ham away isn't really a fixture you target though

szobo?

[slim bane]

no need to code worst transfer

just do search ID:51

[latent depot]

save me Szobo

[kind egret]

save me szobozolai save me

[little delta]

55 pts im ending it all

[lavish parcel]

he'll only save you if you spell it correclty

[kind egret]

I'm sorry I'm illiterate

[lavish parcel]

wait you wrote bozo so it's fine

[latent depot]

at least Murphy matched Nkunku

[cerulean cape]

^

this is true actually

[lavish parcel]

don't say it yet

[latent depot]

Murphy matching Nkunku, Gordon ahead of Eze/Bruno

[lavish parcel]

it's all on jotter now

[cerulean cape]

quietly confident

considering how shit newcastle were, 11 between murphy and gordon ain't bad

everyone owns isak so irrel

[lavish parcel]

fairs

[slim bane]

nightmares

[cerulean cape]

might start sangare over murphy next gw lol

[slim bane]

shouldve slept through deadline

[earnest torrent]

okay time to ship out solanke and nkunku

[latent depot]

"Verstappen and Perez have 7 wins between them this season" vibes

[cerulean cape]

perez is almiron tier

don't even compare him to murphy

[latent depot]

Murphy is Bottas tier, truths

[lavish parcel]

the -bps for goals concede is BRUTAL

[latent depot]

Mosquera YC is what I like to see

Salah EO is 138% near me, which makes sense after GW1 scores

[cerulean cape]

we differ with saka over salah

i'm on 63

[lavish parcel]

72 with 2 players and flekken to go

that gordon goal was so crucial

[slim bane]

feel sick

[latent depot]

sabotaging yourself GW2 is wild, I dunno what to say

[prime plinth]

Salah🙏

[thin jasper]

I’ve just woken up to the craziest score lines I’ve seen in a bit and now I need help

[slim bane]

we go again next season

[prime plinth]

I'd say should've capt Palmer but Salah will match him

[latent depot]

this season is 🔥 tho with all premiums hauling and no attractive way to own more than 2

[prime plinth]

I should've sent full premo and did Bruno to Son for a -4 lol

[lavish parcel]

you had palmer and are still only on 38?

yikes

[latent depot]

"Nkunku will cover Palmer" best preseason take

[lone glade]

55 with 2 left gg

jota gigahaul and im alright

[prime plinth]

Do you see the unlucky picks I have. Defence clearly a mistake but Muniz and Bruno was just that

[thin jasper]

Jota and Salah hauls 🙏

Quansah don’t come on 🙏 🙏

My team is ruined I have Hall and Quansah

[prime plinth]

Crazy talk

[thin jasper]

And other players I gotta move

[cerulean cape]

you're back to everton levels in lemur again

wtf

faes and salah save you tho

[thin jasper]

Next gameweek the comeback starts

Bro how have I fallen back into the bottom 4 😭

Get me out

[cerulean cape]

i wasn;t joking how lol

[lone glade]

am i in bottom 4

[cerulean cape]

you're like forest level

[thin jasper]

This season I won’t be in the relegation zone

[lone glade]

13th

[prime plinth]

I'll catch up

[cerulean cape]

random should be ahead of you after

[thin jasper]

Quansah could definitely come on

[lone glade]

random lmao

[prime plinth]

Palmer and Salah for gw 3-7

[cerulean cape]

agreed ye

[prime plinth]

Bruno better start turning up

He's the reason my defence sucks

[lavish parcel]

I am exactly in the middle

[cerulean cape]

fpl raptor on 26 points

[slim bane]

couldve done fuckall and be on 160 points total but instead i fucked around and now only 133

[prime plinth]

Tbf he did significantly better gw1 and has Salah captain

[lavish parcel]

did you find out yet?

[prime plinth]

Important to note that non Haaland drafts just want to be as close as possible

[thin jasper]

I might be starting two 4.0 defenders next week 😭

[prime plinth]

If Salah scores it is fine

[cerulean cape]

wait

you shit the bed and still on 133?

did you tc

[slim bane]

170*

[slim bane]

yea

[cerulean cape]

oh so 116

rip

[prime plinth]

Tc was a gutsy call

Fair play

[slim bane]

ok realise i cant count it like this anymore, wouldnt have had haaland to tc

[prime plinth]

Fully expect Brentford to score but I thought Villa would as well

[thin jasper]

Next weeks backline is looking good

😭

Hoping Nedel is an option

[lavish parcel]

:Sob: s

[quick dawn]

ok second kneejerk option

[thin jasper]

Help pls

[quick dawn]

dont get digne

[prime plinth]

Robinson Munoz and mykolenko/Greaves cold

[thin jasper]

Who do I get from Villa defense

[quick dawn]

cbs or nedel

[thin jasper]

Nedel it is then

Because cheaping out has never gone wrong

[quick dawn]

he is a bit of a risk but seems like a decent risk

[cerulean cape]

Just get pau

Mings not back yet

[thin jasper]

Then id have to sell Udogie to get in Palmer

And he’s one of three starting defenders in my backline

[quick dawn]

this move looks decent

[cerulean cape]

Udogie won't reach 6 points in next 3 games combined

[quick dawn]

cunha has forest then newcastle with 20 defenders injured

[thin jasper]

I have two other defenders that don’t even start

[cerulean cape]

That defence is fucking tragic

[thin jasper]

Do I just wildcard GW4 and go for it

[cerulean cape]

Wc 4 yes

And save ft

[thin jasper]

Save FT?

Kinda wanna move Son

And defense is in shambles

[cerulean cape]

No point saving ft and wc but saka could outscore son by 4 or more

Using ft

[thin jasper]

Was thinking Son to Saka yeah

[cerulean cape]

Brighton no mugs sadly

It's OK tho

[quick dawn]

ok i kneejerked in palmer and cunha

[thin jasper]

Will Rico Lewis start GW3?

Definitely don’t mind punting him in for one GW

[quick dawn]

dunno jeff

[thin jasper]

Already? 💀

[quick dawn]

well palmer is probably gonna rise isnt he

[thin jasper]

At some point I guess but at least wait til games are over 😭

[slim bane]

ive been saved

[cerulean cape]

not bad

[latent depot]

Ayy legit cooking with his 3x 7.5 MIDs

[slim bane]

"3"

now i can afford the -4 for foden to kdb

to save .2

[fleet oracle]

Wissa dropping really deep

Not really looking like a good asset. Hard to know if it’s just bc it’s against Liverpool or if it’s this new 442 Brentford style

[zenith jolt]

Need nkunku to not drop before servette game

If he plays over 45 there he is gone

[acoustic edge]

how is he not gone for u alr

[zenith jolt]

because he could start palace at home

depending on who does and doesnt play vs servette

[acoustic edge]

i think it’ll be neto LW palmer CAM madueke RW and rotating ST to start the season

wouldn’t go for nkunku tbh

seems like such a sell

[zenith jolt]

yes but

if neto starts servette

nkunku could go lw

dumb to sell now

[acoustic edge]

mudryk

[zenith jolt]

neto rw mudryk lw vs servette

im not saying its not unlikely

[frank mulch]

Gordon bros wya

[zenith jolt]

its all jota in here lad

although i think some have

[cerulean cape]

have both

[zenith jolt]

7.5 7.5 over bruno nkunku

i envy you

[violet temple]

I have jota

No gordon

Gordon away form👀

[latent depot]

My differentials are getting cooked this week

[slim bane]

could've been a 100 pointer smh

[latent depot]

Last 3 AVG

Sabotaged a 100 pointer

[frank mulch]

Isak underwhelming

Bro sold Gordon

[slim bane]

sold the wrong mf

shouldve sold isak

and im dead again

[latent depot]

At least Szobo winning xMins

[kind egret]

@thin jasper im probs going to win my pick1

[thin jasper]

szobo gets a yc and you still get through actual luckmonger

[latent depot]

79 + 75, not bad. Most annoying moments 1. Wood YC 2. Murphy subbed before 60 3. Szobo YC

-3 on my differentials is so painful

[lavish parcel]

well then

87 points gg

[thin jasper]

faes came off the bench 🎉

[thin jasper]

omg me too

[lavish parcel]

right in the middle of lemur

[latent depot]

What's your total?

High scoring season

[thin jasper]

im out of the relegation fight for now

[lavish parcel]

I'm 1.5m rank idk score

somewhere around 130

[latent depot]

Oh, horror GW1

[lavish parcel]

wait actually no 145

I can't math

gw1 was pretty rotten though

[kind egret]

I'm on 139

72 pts without Haaland

which is quite good

[cerulean cape]

148 for me, 4 point red this gw but chill

[lavish parcel]

we move

[cerulean cape]

Have a ft over most players

And no nkunku or solanke to deal with

Murphy can survive one more week

[thin jasper]

think im doing this and then wildcarding

[kind egret]

I have Son to deal with

[lavish parcel]

there are a lot of things I could do next week

[latent depot]

All of my key differentials failed, so I feel like I got away with a reasonable GW

[lavish parcel]

but I don't know what they will be

[kind egret]

Because of Palmer

[thin jasper]

depends on how sure i am lewis will start though

[lavish parcel]

I could totally get palmer

but chelsea aren't scoring more than 2 goals in a game again cmon

[thin jasper]

were wolves bad or chelsea just really good

[kind egret]

Son > Palmer or KDB

Crystal Palace is quite bad

would keep kicking that horse

[thin jasper]

id want palmer but then id have to make an early transfer and have some really really shit defenders starting

[frank mulch]

Anyone moving early for rogers

[kind egret]

[thin jasper]

alr got him

[cerulean cape]

Less xG than wolves

[kind egret]

I don't like hits this early

[latent depot]

Murphy to Rogers depending on FPL statistics

[thin jasper]

so just a palmer and madueke masterclass

[cerulean cape]

Yes

[thin jasper]

palmer is pretty damn good but madueke scoring a hattrick is never happening again

[frank mulch]

Nkunku is going to drop

Tonight

So gotta sell early

[lavish parcel]

lool

[thin jasper]

lewis rising

saka and lewis rising if i want to bring them in ill have to do it before pressers / expected lineups which is really bad

lewis against west ham away isnt ideal anyway

[kind egret]

can we talk how much of a menace Mosquera is

[thin jasper]

madueke already rebounding back to 6.5 thats insane

he just dropped

[prime plinth]

Not bad considering the poor variance in some cases

Was always expecting a tough gw

Especially with Quansah Nkunku and Solanke all at the same time

[kind egret]

that's a frozen team that has yet to thaw

[prime plinth]

Just have to keep faith in Bruno ig

[cerulean cape]

My plan was to get to GW4 without using any transfers

The new plan is to get to GW4 without deleting my team

Twitter · Aug 25, 2024, 1:15 PM

[prime plinth]

Nkunku has to go

[frank mulch]

Best 4.0

[cerulean cape]

Team anal is on 131 btw

[prime plinth]

Gw3 I need Brighton to wipe the cs fr

[lavish parcel]

good to know

[frank mulch]

I’m planning transfers and I’m .5 off 🥲

[lavish parcel]

where would they be in lemur

[prime plinth]

Is 131 with tc?

[thin jasper]

think pretty low

like relegation

[cerulean cape]

2nd last

Smooth is 2nd last with 133 atm

[thin jasper]

second bottom yea

[prime plinth]

I'm on 120 or something

[thin jasper]

good to know fake stats dont mean anything

[prime plinth]

Wait I think I forgot to join the league for this chat

Is it still possible to join?

[cerulean cape]

Lemur is the mod and helper league

There is no league for this thread I think

I can see a lot of wc4 tbh

[prime plinth]

I meant for the discord if one exists

[cerulean cape]

Yes but too late now

[prime plinth]

Makes sense

119pts without Haaland isn't the worst right?

Missing the defenders has been killer

[cerulean cape]

Some high performing salah teams with 3miums

And esr/robinson

Why didn't this thread push for esr rather than murphy

We'd all be feasting then

[prime plinth]

I was pushing for Esr before the friendly and got kekw'd in the regular fpl chat.

I didn't end up with him anyway so that's a bad call from me. Just stuck with Muniz now

[thin jasper]

think i read somewhere that esr wasnt totally fit and was building up to it, and he hasnt hit 90 this season yet

for me i preferred rogers over the 5.5s

gw1 murphy was really unlucky but seems hes just a bad pick now

[prime plinth]

How many points jazzy?

[slim bane]

Cos it looked nicer

[prime plinth]

Yeah makes sense if you have like a Son and Saka

[slim bane]

@lavish parcel please have an asterisk when my team goes up for worst transfers that I still scored 88

can’t stand the kekws

[prime plinth]

Bruno has been a real killer for his price

[slim bane]

-18 is nightmare fuel lol when will I ever get a decision right

[thin jasper]

88 with tc right?

[slim bane]

Yea

[cerulean cape]

148

[thin jasper]

i got 87 without tc what a waste

(thats how tc works)

[prime plinth]

Bruno down and Quansah up would land me in a really strong position. Bruno over Trent what was I thinking lol

[slim bane]

yea Haaland tc properly bailed me out of retirement

[thin jasper]

what were your moves

[prime plinth]

Happy with the Palmer pick. Dissapointed I went to Nkunku late. That was just a bad call.
The others I can accept as unlucky variance

[slim bane]

TAA Gordon to Lewis Foden

If only it was kdb I got in

[prime plinth]

Nice. Did you tc the robot?

[slim bane]

Why didn’t kdb come to mind

Smh

[cerulean cape]

No tc

[slim bane]

At least would’ve covered up the hole by 10 points

Do I chase TV this week

[prime plinth]

My decision to go lite in defence in preference of Bruno has lost me like 20 points damn

[slim bane]

Foden to kdb

For a -4

[cerulean cape]

Tight margins in fpl, I have 9 good picks (if you include isak as a good pick)

[slim bane]

(Alr did Pickford to flekken fuck Pickford)

[prime plinth]

Yeah for me it is just the Solanke and Bruno picks destroying my defender quality when Quansah was subbed

[slim bane]

Proper casual move but idrc lmao seasons fucked

[lavish parcel]

there was actually somebody worse than you ayy

[slim bane]

No way

[prime plinth]

Outside of that huge swing I've been decent

[lavish parcel]

helps that they took a -16

[slim bane]

Oh

[thin jasper]

I know someone in this rmt did Son to Foden

[slim bane]

Yea

Oof

[thin jasper]

Oops wrong reply

[cerulean cape]

People sold Diaz for Bernardo in main chat

[slim bane]

Oof

[zenith jolt]

Did you tell him to

[cerulean cape]

@lavish parcel son to foden

[prime plinth]

The hope would be that Bruno does well next 2 and we start to see the premium defenders struggle

[zenith jolt]

selling son EVE

cant say it wasnt a bad move

[prime plinth]

I just didn't expect Arsenal or Liverpool to keep a clean tbh

[thin jasper]

Wish I did but I think I told everyone to keep Son if they owned him

[cerulean cape]

5 out of 6 cs for top 3 atm

[prime plinth]

That's wild

[cerulean cape]

Ipswich wrecked the only cs

Jokes

[thin jasper]

Big at the back was actually good 🤯

[cerulean cape]

They had 1 shot

[prime plinth]

Of all teams lol

[zenith jolt]

Porro b2b returns, dont forget him

[thin jasper]

Should’ve had a pen tbf

[cerulean cape]

True

[prime plinth]

Big at the back wrecked it for me

[cerulean cape]

Picked the wrong gk for wc4 but I wasn't sure then

[prime plinth]

Bruno was a good pick though from a possibility of points over an Arsenal defender

[lavish parcel]

lol bot fired palace-west ham updates

[prime plinth]

Just how it went down was not in my favour

[lavish parcel]

I think I know why

[cerulean cape]

Why

[prime plinth]

I mean Solanke and Muniz to both not score on top of Isak is a bit crazy

Forced to hold Bruno now anyway so if that can come back around that would be nice

[cerulean cape]

Fwds back to being shit again

[prime plinth]

Not that surprised tbf

I was struggling to pick 2

With no Haaland draft

I said the day before deadline if I was overthinking or if isak was actually the essential pick. Ig not so far

[cerulean cape]

He was essential

Even after blanking

[prime plinth]

Yeah that was the conclusion

Just hasn't come to be

[cerulean cape]

Tbh 2 goals vs spurs and he's done ok

[prime plinth]

He can have 2 as long as we get 3

[lavish parcel]

someone from m&h is getting shamed on #1144327938498629742

any guesses?

[prime plinth]

So I've figured it out 4-5-1 is the way

[thin jasper]

smooth or Andreas

Andreas captained Isak because missed DL

[latent depot]

Murphy could drop tonight, I've got Rogers

[oak furnace]

Murphy subbed early means I don't mind too much that I took the hit to get rid of him

[lavish parcel]

I just need to figure out which item in the json updates when bonus points are confirmed

[oak furnace]

But I still lost 3 points from my hit this week

And now I can't get Watkins

[prime plinth]

Bruno to Jota and Quansah to Porro is a 20+ point swing in Itself. Brutal

[oak furnace]

Could've had an 100 point week without the hit

Also if I legit just went to Nico Jackson from Solanke

I actually considered him too

[slim bane]

Rogers look good?

Im open to take a -8 with isak involved lol

[latent depot]

yes, I've only heard good things

[slim bane]

Or a -12 as it stands

Fucks sake might as well wc

[cerulean cape]

Don't mind the isak price drop, he's hauling vs spurs

[latent depot]

WC after a -4 tho, I know sunk cost etc.

[slim bane]

Need to keep my knees stable and probably take the L on some drops

[lavish parcel]

gonna mull over it for a day or two

[latent depot]

Isak isn't close to a drop

[slim bane]

After a -18 too

[cerulean cape]

Give it one week

[lavish parcel]

lots of things I could do next week

[cerulean cape]

At least no fwds are scoring

[slim bane]

Foden price drop would sting but every chance he hauls next week

[cerulean cape]

Might keep isak save

[slim bane]

I have up to 6.5 to replace Murphy

[cerulean cape]

Isak money does fund palmer for some tho

[lavish parcel]

I am concerned about murphy's spot in the team though

[slim bane]

Is it too early for minteh

[cerulean cape]

I see bench

Barnes did well

[slim bane]

Oh fuck he’s against us

Nvm lmao

[cerulean cape]

But does howe want 2 rws on the bench

[latent depot]

Isak has a good chance to survive until deadline. Havertz/Solanke/Watkins blanking saving Isak at the moment

[slim bane]

althoughhhh our left hand side is ass

[lavish parcel]

gordon and barnes playing together is not something they were able to try in pre-season

[slim bane]

Minteh might get something

[lavish parcel]

is it cala time yet?

he's gotta come in eventually

[slim bane]

Soon I think

[cerulean cape]

Gw6

[slim bane]

Perhaps after IB

[cerulean cape]

No chance for spurs and city

Gw6

CL too

[slim bane]

Fucks sake

Getting Foden in over kdb has cost me 10 points and .2

Really struggling to think about what to do lol

Anw might just get esr for Murphy and call it a day

also also

Rumours that we want to sign Gordon

[lavish parcel]

no shot

[cerulean cape]

Fuck why did we pick murphy

Ruins everything

Rather have nkunku

[slim bane]

player is open to the deal but it’d be a difficult one to pull off

[latent depot]

fuck Schar IMO, GW1 was the freebie

[slim bane]

We knew from the start that 5.5 spot is a punt

[latent depot]

Newcastle would have grown into that game and won 3-1

[cerulean cape]

I'm only inting not sure I get 5.5m mid if it wasn't murphy

[latent depot]

it's a fine decision, you'll be suckered into worse punts for sure, maybe even by me

[cerulean cape]

There's a world I go schär without murphy

[oak furnace]

Am I stupid for considering another hit?

[cerulean cape]

Yea I'm not actually annoyed

The other 9 picks have been good

Gk was the mistake but its whatever

Was right about Hall not nailed

[latent depot]

who knew that Newcastle were fraudulent

[cerulean cape]

Right about nkunku

Right about wood

[oak furnace]

Isak to Watkins
Porro to nedeljkovic
Gives me 1.0 for next week to go sangare to Minteh potentially

[lavish parcel]

still think I'd pick everyone in my team again

[prime plinth]

Nkunku to Eze thoughts?

[oak furnace]

Did anyone here actually consider Nico Jackson?

[cerulean cape]

I made 0 changes and was locked by Monday so same

[slim bane]

no

[cerulean cape]

Actually I even sold barco

[latent depot]

spot Ayy's pick

[oak furnace]

Palace look fraudulent atm
I'm annoyed I got eze

[cerulean cape]

Jackson is another nkunku when osimhen signs

Palace played well both games

Not even joking

[oak furnace]

Is osimhen actually signing

[cerulean cape]

Def suss but attack was good

[cerulean cape]

Is Felix actually signing

[prime plinth]

Super unlucky tbf. Has been a bit selfish in the first game ig

[cerulean cape]

Doubts are there

Can't touch

[lavish parcel]

sangare over murphy was the play two weeks in a row

[cerulean cape]

I might play sangare this gw

Over murphy ye

[lavish parcel]

so happy with the flekken choice

[prime plinth]

Man I had Aina and move him out before deadline ffs. Got 9 points

[cerulean cape]

But we won't get leaks

[latent depot]

harwood bellis over Murphy

[lavish parcel]

they all beat murphy

[oak furnace]

Is this dumb?

[prime plinth]

Nkunku to Rogers or Eze lads

[cerulean cape]

Even the ball boy at Palace game has more points than murphy ffs

[latent depot]

Johnson getting an assist before Davis is pretty funny

[oak furnace]

Gives me 1.0 for minteh

[cerulean cape]

Rogers

[prime plinth]

I'm not sure yet. Both seem good. Either Rogers to allow upgrades in gw4. Or Eze with 1.5m itb remaining

[oak furnace]

How injured is cash?

[prime plinth]

Do I start Greaves or mykolenko

[cerulean cape]

Greaves

[prime plinth]

[cerulean cape]

Keane played again

[lavish parcel]

honeslty you could make a case to start johnson

[cerulean cape]

Everton are losing every match he plays

[prime plinth]

Greaves headed goal would go pretty crazy

[cerulean cape]

Wc4 draft still strong

Rather have minteh over Rogers I think but no money

[prime plinth]

That Brentford fixture is tough to call. Feel like they have a good aerial defence but I can't see them doing a good job of containing the wingers

[oak furnace]

Just get a cheaper defender over gvardiol

[cerulean cape]

Cheap defs bad init

[oak furnace]

All defenders are bad

[prime plinth]

Yeah I'd know lol

Man I'd be chilling if I had Aina right now

[oak furnace]

Get cheaper defender then when you downgrade Mo to Saka in gw6 you can upgrade the defence

[prime plinth]

Why would you get rid of Salah

He has wolves

[cerulean cape]

Robinson got an extra bonus

Fuck off

[prime plinth]

My problems have been solved let's go

[cerulean cape]

So did Gabrielle

Gabriel

[oak furnace]

I'm gw6 and 7 saka plays 2 promoted teams

[cerulean cape]
