[cerulean cape]

45 + porro

[prime plinth]

I should just wc all these useless pricks out of my team

[cerulean cape]

So 60 all out

[prime plinth]

[cerulean cape]

19 from non haaland players

So same as you

[prime plinth]

19 with Saka and Isak left

I wanted Watkins so bad but a hit didn't make sense. Muniz didn't even start ffs

[oak furnace]

I'm on 41 + porro and isak

[prime plinth]

Every player I own becomes benched. I will only pick 100% guaranteed starters from now on

What happened with mykolenko

[oak furnace]

What's annoying is originally I was gonna go with greaves and Johnson as my bench because I thought one of them should play but I decided to risk barco

[cedar hull]

All this for a few points from a bench player

[cerulean cape]

Ill

Leicester has fucked up so many cs somehow

Spurs, Fulham, villa, Palace all popular teams that most had 1 def from

[prime plinth]

Vardy party into my team

[latent depot]

Worth, I'm on 39 from 10

[cerulean cape]

I am green atm but won't be if saka or isak do anything

Might be ok if both 2 pointers

Or porro gets lucky goal

[latent depot]

Oh right your last is Porro

[cerulean cape]

Isak for you?

[latent depot]

Yes

[cerulean cape]

What a normie

[latent depot]

Isak going to drop before his brace

[cerulean cape]

Fucking cringe

At least I get to sell 4 of my wc players in gw6

Maybe 5

Wissa is being assessed

[latent depot]

Wissassessed

Wissessed

[cerulean cape]

Actually saved his from rising

Him*

[latent depot]

Yeah I thought that earlier

6.2 would have been annoying af

[cerulean cape]

Saka dropping

[latent depot]

Saka dropping along with Isak makes it tolerable

[cerulean cape]

Would you buy dcl or wood on wc6

If he is out

[cedar hull]

DCL for me

[cerulean cape]

Good idea, moyes would get dcl firing

[latent depot]

Yeah DCL and hope for the best

1 goal is often worth 3 bonus in Dycheball

[cerulean cape]

Nunoball same tbf

[latent depot]

75mins not cutting it

I think it depends on if the 0.2 saving is enough to get you a 0.5 upgrade elsewhere with e.g. 0.3 otherwise ITB

[cerulean cape]

Fixtures are close

But forest 4 out of 6 at home

And Leicester away

[latent depot]

Yeah, Wood is just better and has better suppliers

[cerulean cape]

Would awoniyi ever start a game is the question

[latent depot]

Nagging doubt of if Awoniyi ever gets up to speed

[cerulean cape]

What if moses likes beto

They need moses

Meant moyes

[latent depot]

Prob DCL for me cos he's definitely on pens

[cerulean cape]

I'll know more when I look more into gw8/9 moves as well

Wood not pkayable gw12 and gw14 but dcl is

[latent depot]

Actually, I intend on Semenyo/McNeil rotation, so Everton double up is prob overkill

Hopefully Wissa is fine

Semenyo/McNeil/Porro rotation for 2 spots is actually really nice

[cerulean cape]

Be surprised if it was bad enough to come off early

Although konsa did the same but that later on and for England

[kind egret]

eh week

[oak furnace]

Should I go isak to Watkins to avoid drop or just save free transfers for post wildcard now

I wish I could search in this thread cos I actually considered dcl

[oak furnace]

[zenith jolt]

triple 4.0

what could possibly go wrong

[cedar hull]

[oak furnace]

Didn't do isak to Watkins

Lost another 0.1

Can't afford that wildcard now

Wait I can cos Robinson rise and saka fall

Fuck it isak better repay

[slim bane]

So annoyed rogers and jp stopped rising right before

Shit gw4 performance doomed them

[kind egret]

Saka back at 10.0

[little delta]

calm robinson +0.1

i need a good gw5 then wc6

[lavish parcel]

saka drop is huge

45 with porro and raya

so I’d be lucky to get 50

should’ve stuck to my guns with van hecke

[kind egret]

Palmer and Mitoma to Mbeumo and Saka on the horizon

[oak furnace]

Henderson fucking shit pick

[slim bane]

Yea but at least you didn’t pay .5 more for Pickford

That’s the true scam

[oak furnace]

Literally every goalie was a better pick tho

[slim bane]

.

[oak furnace]

Didn't realise palace was so bad

Bro Pickford was a dead pick but you transferred out of him so you can't complain

I still have Henderson

And he's got United next week

[silent jasper]

My friend sold Hendo for Sanchez this week
I told him Chelsea might not keep CS and...boom

[oak furnace]

That's crazy

Goalie transfer that works

[earnest torrent]

WC6 can't come soon enough

[oak furnace]

I'm so keen

Fuck international breaks

Should be no international breaks in August/September

[cerulean cape]

Can't wait for wc6

[oak furnace]

Yeh it's gonna save me

This season has fallen apart already

[cerulean cape]

https://x.com/lateriser12/status/1835189014766268511?t=pLBRdFLufCNX7jSDV-x_Gw&s=19 what a move

Lateriser12 (@lateriser12) on X

“He had a small issue and I didn’t think we should take a risk. Of course, you might play him against Ipswich, but then we would risk and injury for two, three, four weeks.

“We cannot take this risk with anybody and I am happy with how all of the other players performed.

[prime plinth]

What is fpl?

[prime plinth]

My whole team is a shit pick

[cerulean cape]

Bruno did well

[oak furnace]

Nice

[silent jasper]

Some people sold Bruno for Salah so its not that bad for your case

[silent jasper]

Insane luck man

[prime plinth]

Robbo instead of a Brighton defender was such an L

[slim bane]

23k isn’t falling apart smh

[oak furnace]

It's the beginning

[cerulean cape]

He would be #1 if you did all his should haves

[cerulean cape]

Speak for yourself

[violet temple]

What's ur rank then smh

[cerulean cape]

trash

doesn;t mean others can't have high expectations init

[violet temple]

true tbf

[cerulean cape]

and let's be honest

we are here for that niko meltdown

🍿 ready

[violet temple]

[lone glade]

[violet temple]

If I was wc 6 I was gonna do isak and saka to jp and salah lmfao

Hindsight is crazyyyy

[slim bane]

its gw4

anything can happen

[oak furnace]

You guys are the reason I send messages in here

I've set myself the goal of top 10k minimum this year
Hoping for higher if possible

Need to back myself more with potential moves

My gw1 team was almost perfect

[cerulean cape]

there's 2 reasons to be in this thread

[oak furnace]

My mate who started the same team with 3 changes is top 2k

[cerulean cape]

one to laugh at ayy

[kind egret]

we're 11% into the season and we talking seasons gone?

[cerulean cape]

two to watch other people have meltdowns

[latent depot]

To Ayy's credit, he takes his on the chin and keeps on making similarly bad decisions

[lavish parcel]

my goal is to be good

[latent depot]

That's all our goals, but we're never going to be Dinnery level

[oak furnace]

Muric outscored Hendersons points for the whole season in one game

So did Sanchez

Henderson was such a shit choice of keeper

[latent depot]

Hendo was fine, I don't understand this ramble at all. We had Glasner 13 game sample, which was admittedly some solid stat padding, but it was enough to take him. Clear 4th best defence in that period

Palace had ok fix, nobody had clear fix, Forest and Brighton had uncertainty

[lavish parcel]

surely a team with plum home fixtures doesn't flop 2 gws in a row

[latent depot]

Sanchez was both uncertain and Maresca is shite

[cerulean cape]

cos results based

also palace lost andersen after gw1

[oak furnace]

I'm a results based player

People call it hindsight

I call it realistic

[latent depot]

It's irrational

[oak furnace]

You can make poor decisions without knowing they were poor

[lavish parcel]

eh

[latent depot]

You can only make decisions based on information known at the time

[oak furnace]

Palace had been linked to trading both guehi and andersen

[latent depot]

Nothing is certain

[lavish parcel]

if you had over a month to set your team

then you probably have some belief that it's the best it can be

[oak furnace]

I low-key didn't look at fpl until the week before

I almost started muric as my keeper

[cerulean cape]

you should have

[oak furnace]

But he had Liverpool and city first 2

[cerulean cape]

he has more points

despite missing gw1

in fact, sanchez better pick

cos more points

[oak furnace]

I wanted to go forest keeper but I didn't know who was nailed

[lavish parcel]

you should have captained sanchez

[latent depot]

Should have picked Madueke and sold for GW3

[oak furnace]

Forest keeper was the clear pick for first 5 gws

Only bad fixture was Liverpool

[latent depot]

Was never ever clear, this is ridiculous

[oak furnace]

Somehow that's the one they kept a cs

Nah I only didn't pick sels cos I was unsure on Carlos Miguel

[cerulean cape]

not sure why

[oak furnace]

Forest had very low xGC

[cerulean cape]

sels started every relevant pre season game

[oak furnace]

They signed a new keeper

I thought he might play

Didn't look enough into it

[latent depot]

Which was a legit reason and they have the worst set piece defence for 2 seasons, and xGA wasn't even great under Nuno

[oak furnace]

It's fine it's only cost me 12 points

Murphy and Solanke to Eze and Muniz (-4)
Was such a failure of a move

[latent depot]

No they didn't. xGA basically falls off a cliff after the top 3 defences, then everyone after is different degrees of shite. Forest were towards the top quartile of shite

[oak furnace]

There was some reason when I looked into it I thought he would be a good pick

[kind egret]

@lavish parcel we are so back with the WC

[lavish parcel]

what did you do fish

[oak furnace]

If I can find my earlier drafts they all had the first gk

[lavish parcel]

who let you cook

[latent depot]

Every asset has some pros, and some cons. Sels definitely had his fair share of cons, enough that he wasn't close to being my pick

[kind egret]

Haaland and Mazaroui

literally saved my goose

and Joao Pedro in absentia

Greaves comes on for him

[lavish parcel]

wissa 2 bonus might be huge

[cerulean cape]

wtf 1st bench wtf

:()

[lavish parcel]

greaves was my third, behind guehi

[kind egret]

I had Uj-io first bench

[latent depot]

Muric regret is beyond ridiculous tho. Bro had 0 clean sheets in 10 games and farmed a pen save and bonus points for his 4.7ppm. we get the bps announcement and Muric was never ever an option

[kind egret]

guess where he is now

[lavish parcel]

greece

[oak furnace]

Johnson over Greaves

[lavish parcel]

to be fair, muric being a save god was kinda realistic

[cerulean cape]

muric lost all bonus he got last year with rule changes lol

[lavish parcel]

bottom 3-5 keepers often are

[cerulean cape]

kaminski was like bottom of gk last year despite all the saves

[oak furnace]

Here I have a pic from another discord

[lavish parcel]

but never enough cleans to be competitive

[cerulean cape]

still needs cs

[cerulean cape]

you need to back your decisions ore

more

[latent depot]

I don't care lol seriously considering Muric given the facts is a skill issue and I'll die on that hill

[cerulean cape]

isak to watkins

what gw5 move are you moving

back it

[oak furnace]

No move gw5

[cerulean cape]

ok

none of this pedro to whoever top scores gw5 then

[kind egret]

we saving fts for Mbeumo and Saka switch up

[oak furnace]

Nah there's no complaints next week

[cerulean cape]

salah/saka/pedro/welbeck to saka/mbuemo/havertz/wissa or dcl or wood

[lavish parcel]

some wissa news will be appreciated

[oak furnace]

This is the wildcard I'm currently looking at
Obviously triple 4.0 is risky but I'm a risky guy

Do we think Archer loses pens?

[lavish parcel]

foden

[cerulean cape]

yes

[latent depot]

Can we have a sweepstake for Nico's GW5 regret, where can we discuss

[oak furnace]

Foden and Archer could be Watkins rogers

[cerulean cape]

wc6

[silent jasper]

my irl friend literally sold Hendo for Sanchez this week, is he a genius or lucky af

[cerulean cape]

leave it for next week, we have proof for now

[lavish parcel]

pen saves are often luck

[oak furnace]

I'm literally not making any transfers or even considering any transfers for gw5

[latent depot]

Might lose his start

[cerulean cape]

he gets 4 points if he concedes the pen

and he'd be a donkey still

[kind egret]

yes basically

[oak furnace]

Isn't wissa injured now

[silent jasper]

I get the idea for Sels pick, but Sanchez was not really because Chelsea has not been keeping CS until just this week only

[oak furnace]

I never mentioned Sanchez

[silent jasper]

not you

[oak furnace]

I only said that muric and Sanchez scored more points this week than henderson in the whole session

Season

[oak furnace]

I don't get the Eze pick
Bowen is right there

I don't mind this

[lavish parcel]

I wouldn't have bart on wc6

flekken only

[oak furnace]

Muric on gw6 wildcard

Isn't he down to 4.4?

[silent jasper]

Double Arsenal att or double Arsenal def?

[lavish parcel]

too early to call

[oak furnace]

I'm leaning towards attack

[lavish parcel]

depends on your team too

[oak furnace]

There's just been so many goals this year

[lavish parcel]

not really

compared to last season at least

[silent jasper]

not gonna lie I thought most would have gone for Raya on WC6 instead of Flekken

[oak furnace]

Is the Lewis pick dead now?

[cerulean cape]

double arse def lets you get wood and dcl 👀

[silent jasper]

no Wissa? Even if he is fit by GW6?

[oak furnace]

Wissa must have if he's fit

[latent depot]

Wissa availability obv changes everything

[oak furnace]

Just gonna wait for gw6 I guess

[latent depot]

I haven't really bothered playing with WC6 until we get some clarity on Wissa

[oak furnace]

Hoping wissa drops

[silent jasper]

doubt he would drop in price, we saw what have already happened to Solanke

[oak furnace]

I said this to you guys yesterday
I'm either using my extra free transfer gw4 or waiting until wildcard

Decided to wait

Just turned out everything went wrong this week

Still on 42+porro and isak

[silent jasper]

just unlucky man, it's not just you that is making the move

[oak furnace]

So should hold at around 10-20k rank

I'm talking about the isak to Watkins move I contemplated

The Muniz to Pedro one was just a shit

Never should've got muniz

Had double Fulham it made no sense to triple up

[silent jasper]

it was a popular move, just bad luck that Pedro got injured without us knowing

[oak furnace]

That's why I'm thinking about diversifying on my wildcard

[silent jasper]

and Watkins wasn't really performing well because of many miss chances too

[oak furnace]

The mistake was trying to get smart with a double price rise

[silent jasper]

well you could yeah but team news is important

[oak furnace]

It's fine

There's nothing I can do now

Just have to cry

I lost top spot in my mini league I care about

That's why I'm annoyed

He did isak to Watkins

[silent jasper]

on a bright side, you still have your WC right? I saw some of my friends using WC and got slightly better or worse than me

[oak furnace]

Need porro isak to outscore Saliba by 5 points

[silent jasper]

could happen, especially with Isak

[lavish parcel]

niko's higher ranked than me

[silent jasper]

I think he is the highest in this thread

[oak furnace]

It's funny cos it still feels like you are all better than me

[silent jasper]

I am worse than Ayy's rank and I am still optimistic about it

[oak furnace]

Surely we get a road to 10k messages mini league going

[lavish parcel]

nah I'm pretty garbage

[silent jasper]

Expectation: 🔥
Reality:

This is pretty much me lol

[oak furnace]

I still back my whole starting team in gw1
Just went in a very weird direction with the Solanke injury

Need to realise that the whole team was picked with minimal information and I've only made 3 transfers from this original team

Y'all can choose to ignore as many or as little of my messages when I'm in this mood

[latent depot]

If Ayy never took a hit, would he be ahead of you? 🍿

[oak furnace]

Timber on gw6 wildcard?

[oak furnace]

@slim bane
Is calafiori likely to play lb long term?

[lavish parcel]

yes he is

[vital pumice]

Why did I captain Salah

[lavish parcel]

gonna watch liverpool highlights

need to see waht went wrong

[latent depot]

images before disaster

[cerulean cape]

Porro goal when??

[lavish parcel]

why can't we have half time cleans in fpl

[slim bane]

thank fuck i sold saliba and not gabriel then

[silent jasper]

ffs I owned Saliba instead of Gabriel

[latent depot]

Gabriel over Saliba was always clear

I've never once suggested Saliba

[lavish parcel]

phew

now add that 6th save opta

[slim bane]

we're up to 36 points + isak thrown away

[silent jasper]

I got a -10 too 🤝

[slim bane]

hope the newcastle game is a shit one

[lavish parcel]

so this is where the gw breaks

cmon wolves

defend for your lives

(yes, I know they conceded 6 last time they were here, I'm delusional)

[latent depot]

Saliba comment was addendum to suggesting Gabriel over Saliba

[fleet oracle]

I almost started porro over Gabriel. Wow.

I actually think I would’ve quit had I done that

[oak furnace]

This is a disaster week Arsenal clean sheet

Most people have 1 Arsenal defence yeh?

[slim bane]

I thought my -4 resulted in -10 was really bad
Feel sry for ya

[violet temple]

[cerulean cape]

Oof

[lone glade]

cold

[cedar hull]

Only non blank was haaland

[cerulean cape]

I had 1 more return and I was on wc

[violet temple]

RIP

[cerulean cape]

My draft team benched gabriel and has like 55 point's

[lone glade]

hurry up gw6

[cerulean cape]

Thank fuck isak and Gordon not killing me

[lone glade]

🙏

[cerulean cape]

What is the isak injury

At least it forces another ft for people but they probably buy watkins

[violet temple]

If isak is injured I might just do isak to havertz one week early

Even though he's got citeh

[cerulean cape]

7.3m Gordon and 8.3m isak sending off gift?

[lavish parcel]

omg I’m free

[lavish parcel]

is sofa telling me the truth, did 6 players actually get injured?

[lone glade]

cooked gw

41 points

[cerulean cape]

Not worried, my players have the same fixtures

And will get 100 next gw

At least I own saliba over gabriel and benched

And didn't bench 15

But yea considering I have 9 blanks that was a good gw

[lone glade]

i had 10 blanks

cold

[cerulean cape]

Could have been way worse with isak/saka

[lone glade]

not checking my rank but

[cerulean cape]

Or bruno/palmer etc...

[lone glade]

bring gw5 asap 🙏

[cerulean cape]

Someone got 33 in lemur

[lone glade]

was it me

@slim bane FM for 33 hours what the fuck

[cerulean cape]

Are you selling isak and muniz if they're out lol

Gaem

[slim bane]

left my laptop on lol

[cerulean cape]

Wilson wc'ed nto 40 points

[lone glade]

yh

[latent depot]

Gabriel + Greaves on the bench

[lavish parcel]

only 8 blanks

still ranked 2m :pogsiuexit:

[lavish parcel]

the real gains will come next week 🙏

[latent depot]

maybe the real gains are all the friends that we made along the way

how did you do

WHAT

I guess I've finally overtaken the AI team, that's a positive

[latent depot]

AI team without Haaland? Time to retire it

[lavish parcel]

autosubs always take forever in fpl 😬

[empty glen]

L gw

Really need to wc gw 6

[zenith jolt]

who

[cerulean cape]

fpl general

[latent depot]

demote him to fpl private

[cerulean cape]

gw5 looks mudded for ppl at least

big reds mean big greens later

[latent depot]

I can on that

meanwhile Andy gets away with getting Salah a GW later than he wanted

[cerulean cape]

Early move to dcl if pedro is out

[oak furnace]

12 points lost by not doing Isak to Watkins this week alone

[cedar hull]

Dont beat yourself up niko

Shit happens

[oak furnace]

Did Isak get injured?

Someone said he did

[latent depot]

Got hit in the face, apparently messed with his vision

Sound innocuous

[zenith jolt]

isak > vardy saka > salah before wc6 would be nice

but sounds like he will be fine

[oak furnace]

Right

Guess I hold

I already tanked a price drop

This wc6 is falling apart

[zenith jolt]

wc6 looks good

template is strong at least

[oak furnace]

Nah I'm talking about making it to wc6

My team is falling apart

If Arsenal return next week as well then it was a horrible play

Should've just backed Arsenal

this was just a horrible week

[vital pumice]

Yeah I did crap an I'm still 28k

[slim bane]

Can Ayylmao avoid a hit this week?

Stay tuned to find out

Lewis to Porro here we go(?)

[oak furnace]

yeh sounds good

what rank r u now ayy

[slim bane]

it’s in my name bruv

1.05M technically but

1M is nicer

[oak furnace]

lol i didnt see

im down to like 40k

64k

id be 10k rank if i did isak to watkins

[slim bane]

There you go again with the what-ifs lol

unhealthy obsession

[oak furnace]

nah bro i looked back at why i didnt do it

there was one of my mates i was talking to

and he basically shat on watkins so i decided not to do it

huge point swing of 12 in one week

given its a 2 week punt thats enough to make it a huge L

anyway biggest mistake and learning for next year is just to back in big players

haaland salah saka arsenal defence all on top

[slim bane]

[oak furnace]

Need to trust myself

[slim bane]

@zenith jolt why are solvers recommending wc8 now?

[fleet oracle]

If it’s a 2 week punt, then if Isak outscores Watkins this week, your almost breaking even. (Assuming it was Isak>watkins for a hit)

[oak furnace]

nope was a free transfer

which is why im even more annoyed

[fleet oracle]

Could be worse. Could’ve capped Taa

Liverpool blanking seems to have ruined most peoples gws

Can’t believe I allowed myself to be bullied into owning Isak

Ffs Isak fell last night

[oak furnace]

I should've gone 352

Forwards other than haaland stuck

Suck

[slim bane]

Still ahead of me

[lavish parcel]

wc did better than no wc by less than a point

#1144327938498629742

[cerulean cape]

We won

Lfg

Saying that, we could still make it up gw5, a lot of teams look shit

[little delta]

Esr rise 😍

[cerulean cape]

As long as arsenal don't get another lucky cs

As I'm benching saliba again

[violet temple]

Yeah my gw went good but next one looks like shit

Looking like this for now

[cedar pine]

Watkins and Mbeumo in. Bruno and Isak out.

Wonder if I'll go against Haaland this week

[violet temple]

Who else do u have that's captainable

[cedar pine]

Watkins, diaz, jota, trent

If I had salah he'd obv be my captain

[violet temple]

Jota and diaz aren't really reliable captains , they have champions League and will probably get hooked around 60 like last game

Watkins is a shout tho

But even he's got cl might affect minutes

[oak furnace]

salah will be my captain

salah 1 and 5
haaland 2-4

[cerulean cape]

Might cap haaland

Say he gets another hat trick CL

How can not cap the guy with 12 goals in 5 games

[oak furnace]

cos hes playing the best defence in the league

[violet temple]

I'm likely gonna cap haaland

[oak furnace]

the reason i own salah is for this week

[violet temple]

His form cannot go undenied even though it's the best defence imo

[oak furnace]

the way i see it you pick and choose when to go against haaland

im likely to go saka in gw6 and potentially even gw7

ended up with this new draft

interested to see who city play in ucl and then gw5

looking at my wildcard potential teams i think i shouldve used that extra transfer last week

cos they likely wont need many transfers until maybe gw8

[oak furnace]

im never gonna get over not doing isak to watkins
such an annoying thing has cost me so much

[earnest torrent]

Btw why is Wissa flagged?

[violet temple]

Because he's injured

He got taken out by somebody

[earnest torrent]

Was it bad though?

[violet temple]

tbh yeah.

[oak furnace]

Watkins has a higher xG/90 than Haaland now

cant believe i didnt get him

such an error

now i cant afford the transfer

and have to watch him haul vs wolves

while isak plays with one eye

[lavish parcel]

we're not sure yet

probably today or tomorrow we hear something

they're playing in the efl cup

[proud gale]

DCL or Wood?

• DCL should be on pens from wjat ive heard
• Wood probably isnt on pens, MGW took the last one (altho wood wasnt on the pitch)

[proud gale]

yes kovacic looked like he went right thru his ankle

possible sprain or smthn

[oak furnace]

Honestly both seem good but I think I'm going haaland havertz wissa

If wissa is injured then it's more difficult

[proud gale]

ya thats why im asking

the injury looks serious

ish

[oak furnace]

I think you can't go wrong with either

[proud gale]

if hes chilling my wc is perfect ive been planning on haaland havertz wissa for like 2 weeks

👍

[oak furnace]

I'd favour form and go dc\

[proud gale]

DCL fixtures better long run

too

[oak furnace]

Ye

I wish I traded him in over Pedro

[proud gale]

really?

[oak furnace]

Honestly I wish I did a lot different

[proud gale]

oh well

with the injury obv

[oak furnace]

Yeh well Pedro didn't play

[proud gale]

in GW12 ill be getting brghton in

[oak furnace]

Big error

I'm letting FPL dictate my mood too much

[proud gale]

Mitoma and JP are defo on my radar

JP is near locked for gw12 ill probably transfer havertz dcl out for him and wissa

then i can use that money on another arsenal def and to upgrade midfield for a palmer due to chelseas fixtures turning rly good gw12

[oak furnace]

Yeh I haven't looked that far ahead

I'll easily have 5 FTS by then

[proud gale]

how many have u used

[oak furnace]

I have 2 FTS at the moment

I copped a donut last week tho cos I didn't know Pedro was out until after the deadline

[proud gale]

ive got all 4 rn

[oak furnace]

Need Pedro and isak to be fit

[proud gale]

kind of dumb

[oak furnace]

I've lost so much team value

[proud gale]

i should use at least one

[oak furnace]

Isak and eze

[proud gale]

rip

i lost .2 on them too

[oak furnace]

I traded in Eze for a -4 in gw2

[lavish parcel]

have a feeling eze will drop

[oak furnace]

When

Hopefully after the deadline

[oak furnace]

isak better play

He's caused me so many headaches

[zenith jolt]

Always been an option really close to the same evaluation as wc6, but wc6 is still the majority favourite

It means buying united so its a no for me!

[fleet oracle]

By capping TAA instead of Haaland, I’ve almost completely lost the advantage I made on you by taking 0 hits

Watkins

Haaland

Isak

Havertz

Wissa

Jackson

Wow watkins has already dropped. him being 8.9m instead of 9m means i can now move to him from isak after his drop if i want to

[cerulean cape]

You could be this person

[violet temple]

Who is that lmao

[lavish parcel]

howwww

listening to planet james he is coping so hard

[cerulean cape]

Above average Adam

Wc4 btw

Into 23 points

[violet temple]

wtf

[cerulean cape]

James has nothing to cope

Doesn't own haaland or salah

Not sure what he expected

[lavish parcel]

the podcasters are in the mud this year

[cerulean cape]

If anything he got lucky with salah blank

I'm 29th out of 70 in content creators league

I'm 1.3m lol

Wissa injury confined

Confirmed

Thomas Frank on Wissa's injury

"Wissa is not good news. It looks like an injury that will be a couple of months. It’s very frustrating. It will leave a hole but I will find a solution and other players will step up"

We're all with you, Wissa 🙏

Twitter · Sep 16, 2024, 2:02 PM

2 months perfectly misses all his good fixtures

[violet temple]

Did u guys have him on ur wc

Yeah right?

[cerulean cape]

Not me

Most did

But he got 7 so pays for the hit if they played him or got him subbed

[lavish parcel]

it's joever

[violet temple]

Unfortunate

[lavish parcel]

-4 in 6 potential

[cerulean cape]

Gonna reevaluate hit taking again after gw8

[slim bane]

Wtffffff Wissa

dcl it is

[cerulean cape]

Maybe being too Conservative saving fts

In my case

Dcl vs wood

Muniz even

[lavish parcel]

-4 in 6 but at least I'll have 3 arsenal

wissa to kai

will be able to afford that with like 0.5 to spare

(for now)

this suckssssss

[slim bane]

The forwards are so shit ong

[lavish parcel]

really need gw5 to work out

[slim bane]

352?

[lavish parcel]

I would like to remind the chat that despite ayy taking like 7 or 8 hits this season, he is still ranked significantly above me

[cerulean cape]

He used tc tho

[slim bane]

chat am I cooking

[cerulean cape]

Fake rank init

[slim bane]

A good tc tho

I’ll take a 17 point tc anyday

[cerulean cape]

17 is like his avg score

30 or gtfo in dgw

[slim bane]

But it certainly isn’t a bad tc score

Above 15 is jumping with joy

[slim bane]

I don’t don’t like this

[cerulean cape]

How did you also take 8 hits for it to look this shit

[slim bane]

But gonna have to pray vdb keeps the spot

[slim bane]

tf

[zenith jolt]

why not just wildcard ayy

[slim bane]

It’s not shit

[cerulean cape]

Brentford play 4atb in easy games

[slim bane]

That team is just a -4 away bruh

[cerulean cape]

Have fun with vdb benched

[slim bane]

Wissa injured surely threw a spanner in the works

[cerulean cape]

Why tho

It's just dcl or wood no

Fixtures almost as good

In slightly worse team

[zenith jolt]

my wc6 pretty locked rn

[slim bane]

Dcl

[cerulean cape]

I'm leaning wood so dcl slander is fine

[zenith jolt]

just dcl/wood undecided and mcneil/mgw

[cerulean cape]

If pedro is out tho, I buy dcl gw5

Wait

With what fucking money

😢

[slim bane]

.1 off

[cerulean cape]

Ig ore

[zenith jolt]

where spend money

[cerulean cape]

I can afford gw6

Not gw5

My team but I have eze and guehi

Over mgw and konsa

[zenith jolt]

4.4 myko is nice

if hes fine and branth is back

[slim bane]

help me I’m .1 off

Honestly so fucking sad

Jp didn’t get a double rise

[slim bane]

That midfield looks tragic

[cerulean cape]

Lmao

Mgw is awful tho yes

[lavish parcel]

gonna watch liverpool highlights rn

I said I will yesterday but whatev

let's see how bad things really were

[slim bane]

Shit defending caught out by a well placed shot outside the box

[cerulean cape]

Bradley to blame

Allison also imo

Cho shoots there 99%

[slim bane]

Shit subs by slot

[lavish parcel]

oh god just seen sels spill it

[slim bane]

Wanted to win the game by pushing TAA up

Ends up fucking the backline

[lavish parcel]

my comms blaming the sun lmao

[latent depot]

Wissa dead

[lavish parcel]

yup there we go

got to it

it is all bradley

[slim bane]

warra sub by slot

@kind egret @lavish parcel you can use the emote you like so much

[lavish parcel]

that is a team

it is certianly a team

[slim bane]

Any keepers or defenders dropping to 3.9 anytime soon

plssss ill spray ketchup on nearly everything i promise

[latent depot]

Can't believe I'm looking at double Everton attack on WC6

Semenyo/McNeil rotation and Rogers/Porro rotation are both really good. Allows for deeeeep bench

[zenith jolt]

im going for one

can't bring myself to two

i'll only go mcneil if i go wood

[latent depot]

Tbh McNeil only starts GW8-10

[zenith jolt]

yeah with semenyo mcneil rogers

[slim bane]

How tf you affording porro rogers rotation

[cerulean cape]

No kdb

[latent depot]

Not playing Pep Roulette

[slim bane]

Whose been ass since I got him in

best to not make moves this season I end up jinxing whoever I get in

So I should not bring Saka in

[slim bane]

Makes sense on a wc to have a deeper bench

but since I’m not on a wc I’m hoping the premium players step up

[latent depot]

Yes, WC6 needs to carry me to GW33

[cerulean cape]

Leif Davis more points than gvardiol

[latent depot]

There might be a 3.9 in the game by WC6

[slim bane]

As long as it’s not Virginia Johnson or THB

[cerulean cape]

thb was the guy

but stephens got a red

[slim bane]

thots

[earnest torrent]

ayy stop

hits are an addiction

[slim bane]

Just another -8

[slim bane]

Kdb v dcl + bench

[violet temple]

Dcl + bowen maybe over kdb +4.5

If that works

[cerulean cape]

Foden good pick

[slim bane]

That’s 8 attackers brah

[violet temple]

Yeahhh

[slim bane]

Why would I get 8 attackers

[violet temple]

Rogers shouldn't be counted atp

[slim bane]

He’ll come good

[cerulean cape]

Why not get moreno

Forest

Over myko

[latent depot]

If Foden looks good UCL+GW5, I might get him, prob downgrade Robbo

[fleet oracle]

I’m not fussed on robbo tbh. Think if you’re going into the Liverpool def and don’t want taa, you go for Allison to save 1.5m, or Konate to save 1.9m

[latent depot]

back to this

[acoustic edge]

if it’s wc6 surely raya taa wood to flekken porro havertz clears

[latent depot]

Wood 6-11 is pretty nice, Pedro GW12

[cerulean cape]

Playing Rogers over wood gw7

Im leaning wood I think

[zenith jolt]

factos

[cerulean cape]

bro has triple arse

raya grab saka

arguably long term with havertz spot being sold

[zenith jolt]

u speaking to urself?

[cerulean cape]

mcgrrr

wait wtf

you deleted a message

knai]

lmao

[zenith jolt]

[latent depot]

I did?

It's possible

I didn't, so who did?

[zenith jolt]

[oak furnace]

Schade is the replacement for wissa surely?

[cerulean cape]

Likely

Hes a mid tho

I just saw the gabriel goal now, they disallowed the Newcastle goal last year for less than what gabriel did to romero lol

Romero falls over and thats a foul from var

[oak furnace]

Yeh so lucky

Fuck Arsenal

[slim bane]

Yea after the goal went in i was looking at the ref for any call back

but it’s really minor and the players were at each other the whole game

And Romero didn’t complain either

[slim bane]

Raya wood dcl v flekken rogers Havertz the key differences in our teams

[slim bane]

Idts tho

Raya TAA is a pretty decent combo and if wood remains as talisman no reason he can’t match Havertz

[kind egret]

[slim bane]

Finally found an ok team that doesn’t have that

[kind egret]

I'm planning Mbeumo and Saka next GW

tbf

[slim bane]

The Semenyo/rogers spot will be used to chase bandwagons

In particular Semenyo could be esr mcneil schade

[kind egret]

Mbeumo will shift to the 9 position I feel

he's done it before in the past

[thin jasper]

schade is the man

minteh to schade locked gw6

[kind egret]

[slim bane]

surely he’s nailed

[kind egret]

as nailed as Logan Sargeant

[slim bane]

In the Williams team or to the wall?

[latent depot]

Basically, I have a double Arsenal defence draft, a Raya/Havertz draft, and a Gabriel/Havertz draft

So should everyone really

[slim bane]

Yea but I committed to the Gabriel Havertz one alr

[oak furnace]

We playing UCL fantasy?

[lavish parcel]

I am

[oak furnace]

What's the team looking king

This is what I have

[lavish parcel]

ok I just realized something pretty bad

going wissa to havertz in 6 would put me in a tricky situation

since I'd still have to play one of pedro or rogers every week and at that point wouldn't have enough money to replace them

would need an exit route elsewhere

10 and 11 will be scary

perhaps trent out?

[latent depot]

Yeah Trent is prob leaving my team GW9 for Porro

That facilitates Semenyo to Eze

[lavish parcel]

might go all the way to a 4.5, already got porro

someone like a dunk/van hecke or

I'll admit I was wrong about him

milenkovic?

set piece threat but need to see how he rotates with the other guys

actually maybe man utd too, they come into a good run

could be looking like this by gw8, with one more FT to do something

[oak furnace]

Trent to a city defender

[oak furnace]

Is this a cook?

I think double Arsenal defence is a must because everyone will have 1 so you need 2 to get ahead

[latent depot]

Same as mine except I have Gvardiol/4.0 over Porro/Moreno

Gabriel out GW9, Havertz in GW12

I have Trent to Porro, Semenyo to Eze GW8

Eze is a nice placeholder for Gordon/Liverpool mid in GW15

[latent depot]

Virginia at -93.4 👀

[zenith jolt]

Is he second choice?

Or begovic

I made a wc6 which verges a bit off of the template but i kinda like it

[lavish parcel]

as long as you have 3 arsenal, mbeumo, and haaland

you're good

[earnest torrent]

Is it crazy to punt on Vardy for WC6 on this run? (Exclude Arsenal obviously)

[lavish parcel]

nope not crazy at all

could even get him in this week

[slim bane]

4.3?

[latent depot]

Need Rogers and Pedro returns to bank +0.2

[lavish parcel]

the one season we had all 3 in fpl... it was special

[zenith jolt]

think i didnt have haaland until gw14

[prime plinth]

Idk if I've lost price already but imma wc

Idk if I can trust palace to get me through another couple gws

[cerulean cape]

wc6

wc5 is pretty bad

[latent depot]

Schade over DCL enables the remaining squad that I want

[lone glade]

muniz started for fulham

[prime plinth]

Yeah but palace are a mess and I have to deal with Muniz Bruno and mykolenko Quansah

Delaying wc is becoming kinda pointless

[latent depot]

that Palace triple up is so cursed

[prime plinth]

Yeah I initially had double and added Eze. I'll accept double palace was not the move for the defense

Munoz been ok though for what I wanted

Either way. Looking at a wc strategy now

[prime plinth]

Cunha is a player I'm interested in

[zenith jolt]

not worth .5 over dcl or wood

[latent depot]

have you activated your WC already? cos WC5 is so suboptimal that you;re just compounding your mistakes

your squad has reasonable GW5 fixtures, just take the temporary and WC6

[zenith jolt]

city arsenal big swings playing eachother in your wildcard week

[latent depot]

Virginia drop would be so nice for WC6

[latent depot]

I need to make 0.4 budget. Rogers/Pedro rise would be 0.2. Pinnock/Virginia falls would be another 0.2. If Gvardiol survives until deadline, I can sell and buy back at 5.9. There's potential there for +0.5

[cerulean cape]

It ain't happening

Only rise we need is welbeck

[oak furnace]

Do we have info on isak

[cerulean cape]

Nose injury, caused blurred vision

But no

[oak furnace]

Yeh I know but no update?

[oak furnace]

Where do I use this cash?

Or do I just hold and use in gw8

Feel like I sometimes worry about using my bank too much

[zenith jolt]

get solanke

if you want

can downgrade robbo to porro idk if u can afford after that

[oak furnace]

Wanna see Solanke score first

But not a bad call

[zenith jolt]

solanke is a popular gw5 transfer for wc6 deadend

in analytics anyway

[oak furnace]

This is actually nice

[zenith jolt]

ye

question is will you be able to affordi t

[oak furnace]

I can?

[zenith jolt]

in 2 weeks time

[oak furnace]

Can afford easily

I actually like this team so much

[slim bane]

[oak furnace]

Lol

[slim bane]

Raya porro Bowen Solanke vs flek robbo kdb Havertz

[oak furnace]

Mine is actually better this time

[slim bane]

because?

what has soblanke even shown

[oak furnace]

Wait for this week

I can easily swap Raya to flekken, porro to Robbo and Solanke to havertz

[lavish parcel]

can totally see a jota benching this week

wasn't good last night

[oak furnace]

Yeh same

Would get subbed on tho

Not wasting a transfer

Gonna have to cop whatever comes my way

I'm actually cooked tho gw4 wildcard probably would've been best for me

[slim bane]

Wc teams all sucked ass

[lavish parcel]

gw5 will decide

arsenal clean and newcastle blank were massive for me though

[slim bane]

fr

only dropped 300k after the -8 in the end

[oak furnace]

I only dropped 50k
From 10k to 60k

Can't wait to many this thread

[cerulean cape]

Wc6 will all look the same between 2 variants

Raya vs havertz

[violet temple]

Yeah

[acoustic edge]

anyone considering forest def in for gw6?

opens up a potential bowen path for me

[oak furnace]

Yeh I am

Alex Moreno

Need info on isak

[silent jasper]

Saka and Gabriel locked in?

[zenith jolt]

No semenyo but

Dcl mcneil could be vardy semenyo

obviously that double up isnt ideal

[acoustic edge]

my non wc6 team fwiw @zenith jolt

bruno to semenyo, joao (and forest def to taa) up in an ideal world

i like dcl more than vardy

but i think there are better options that mcneil at every price point

[violet temple]

Using all 4 fts

Why

[acoustic edge]

wc12 rejig

i can either attack gw6 or not and i’d like to attack it

[violet temple]

What moves are u doin

[acoustic edge]

roll gw5

taa isak eze esr to nfo def havertz mbeumo bowen

probably

[zenith jolt]

Cool g

Guy on more points has better team

[violet temple]

I'll be taking those moves thanks

I might do isak and jota to havertz and mbuemo

I've got 3 ft rn 4 to spend on gw 6

Use 2 roll 2

[oak furnace]

Why trade Trent

Yes finally starting to cook

Got an assist in ucl

[prime plinth]

Jack Clarke in

[prime plinth]

Ederson is the clear pick

[oak furnace]

Anti fpl goat

Anti fpl goat is actually pickford

Unlucky ayy

[prime plinth]

Henderson and Muniz

[oak furnace]

Yeh fuck Muniz

[fleet oracle]

Am i spreading my funds too much going with something like this?

Could go wood+Diaz > 4.5 + Son. but idk what think of that

[oak furnace]

I wouldn't have Diaz on WC6

Idk what's gonna happen with our attack

Diaz may be prem left wing

[latent depot]

Why do you have VDB? Bro isn't going to play when Brentford go to a back 4 (vs non top 6)

Virginia is very close to dropping to 3.9 btw

Robinson on WC is just a weird pick

[prime plinth]

Conclusion is no wc this gw for me. Punt on a Delap or Something

Duran punt... Surely

[oak furnace]

Who do you think best 4.0 is?

[latent depot]

It's between Greaves and Mosquera

Having both on the bench is ok as their fixtures are somewhat complementary for a long time. You can rotate them at 1st or 2nd bench if you have an 8th attacker

[prime plinth]

Greaves was my 2nd best scorer last gw

[latent depot]

They can rotate on the bench until GW17

[prime plinth]

Seems to be those two though for sure. No reason for Southampton right? Maybe Leicester can steal a cs on occasion

I mean there's not much in it regardless. Greaves just has a bit more set piece threat to the rest I'd expect

[latent depot]

Think I'm set for WC6. I have a DCL draft and a Schade draft. Obv depends on budget which I go for

[fleet oracle]

I have Robinson bc I had him from the start, so I have money invested in him. Same with Diaz, but I think Diaz will get a lot of returns this year.
VDB is only 4.0m, so I only chose him as fodder, but also could be a great option if one of the Brentford CBs get injured.
And yeah, hoping Virgina drops before wc6

[prime plinth]

Robinson value has probably already peaked probably. Fixtures aren't the best

[fleet oracle]

If he looks set to drop while wc6 is active, he could be out

Hmmm. Could put mazraoui in instead of Robinson if utd def improves

[oak furnace]

I like O'Shea over him

Seems like he gets bonus points

[latent depot]

They're not going to keep enough clean sheets for bps to be the difference maker in this decision. You go for the 100% nailed guy with the highest probability of 6 points for a goal

[oak furnace]

O'Shea new signing

Who is closer to a price rise

[latent depot]

Ok I did some digging, you're on the money. O'Shea has better GI ratio and better YC ratio across his career

[oak furnace]

I know a pick when I see it

Bonus in first first game for the club

I'm just annoyed I picked the worst 4.0 defender

Johnson only got a return against city

What a pick

Sangare Johnson and Barco

[latent depot]

Need Gvardiol to survive drop before deadline, then fall to 5.9 after. Need Virginia 3.9 and Pinnock 4.4, and Rogers to rise. Then I can afford DCL draft. Small chance of making 0.1 on WC

If only half of that happens, I go with Schade draft

[oak furnace]

What's the two drafts you've got now?

I reckon my biggest pod will be Bowen over a pool mid

[latent depot]

Raya/Saka/Havertz + Gvardiol/Foden/Haaland + Mbeumo/Pinnock + Trent/Semenyo

Then the difference is DCL/Mosquera vs Schade/Mykolenko

Pinnock/O'Shea rotation for GW6-10

Iroegbunam/Stewart perma bench
