[broken patio]

Ah it ends 9am Monday morning uk time

I'll be asleep

So just the weekend

Well I'll have a few hours both sat and sun

[prime plinth]

Guys I think i owe bruno apology. .3 less ppm than paka

[valid river]

im on bb2 so might need someone nailed

[cerulean cape]

Rogers was so nailed for me

[prime plinth]

Paka only had 6 goals in 20 appearances with pens. Yikes

[broken patio]

Still only met up with 1 person in the server :(

[cerulean cape]

Dumb injury, either be injured or not injured

[broken patio]

Was on the same train platform as aff though if that counts

[prime plinth]

Sorry saka. You might just be a assist merchant now

Tbf 11 assists is also pretty solid... still only .3 ppm over king bruno

I'm sold

[twin ice]

[zealous forum]

I was on the same platform as the Brighton Gogglebox guys

[prime plinth]

Tried what ... good player. Is he the guy for fpl?

[latent depot]

Might punt on Brennan Johnson if Rogers is out

[valid river]

oml

[prime plinth]

Johnson again ole ole

[latent depot]

[prime plinth]

Richy time

[novel harbor]

this was my plan but someone said he might share mins with odobert or something

[prime plinth]

[valid river]

there is no good 5.5 other than anderson :(

[prime plinth]

He will

[zealous forum]

Wilson, Arias etc. There will be plenty.

[prime plinth]

Adingra

90 minute attacker with good fixtures. Believe

[valid river]

sunderland

[prime plinth]

I made the 90 minute part up

[latent depot]

Well Johnson played 64mins vs Bayern, if he does again vs PSG, I might go there. If Rogers is in consecutive training sessions before GW1 obv picking him

[prime plinth]

Guiu at 4.5 is going to carry bb anyway

[latent depot]

Carry the drinks to the bench?

[valid river]

liar

[twin ice]

what's the view on Wirtz vs Ekitike if Isak doesn't sign?

[prime plinth]

Wirtz

[valid river]

what if I get Arias and JSL

im a genius

[latent depot]

Forward is a dead position, always pick the mid

[humble bane]

Wirtz >>

[prime plinth]

Better player. Better history of consistent returns

[twin ice]

I'm not looking for easy recommendations because of a shinier name

[prime plinth]

No just who I think is more ready to impact pl lvl

Wirtz has done it at cl lvl

Ekitike got shut down by vdv

[hollow ermine]

Writz really

[prime plinth]

Yikes

Ig if he can get cbit all the time. Not really yikes

[valid river]

yeah bud just SDIYBT

[prime plinth]

9m though

[hollow ermine]

Bruno dm Ridiculous waste

[valid river]

Yes

just play boom rwb

[twin ice]

was always shit to get at the start of the season before he played in the double pivot, nothing changes

[valid river]

Isnt Spurs Sarr a good pick since hes playing CAM?

[prime plinth]

Tbf i don't think bruno will be deep every singe game. Still more reason for it with cunha mbeumo and Sesko. Way more avenues to go through

[prime plinth]

No. Absolutely not

[novel harbor]

ngmi

[prime plinth]

We will sign a 10

[valid river]

oh lol

[slim bane]

We know how that turned out

[prime plinth]

Frank just got shown why you can't play bentancur and sarr together with another defensive mid if you want to have enough going fwd

[slim bane]

Bruno?

[prime plinth]

I mean solanke and Johnson ppm was solid

Around 4

[slim bane]

Doubly stupid when I accidentally sent with ! And not ?

And then I saw the next line

[prime plinth]

Porro 3.9 i think

[slim bane]

No

[prime plinth]

Fixtures aren't good enough for me to accept cbit pts vs arsenal Chelsea and city from a 9m player

[slim bane]

Anderson was gonna be my pick but he was genuinely a template consideration so I said Bruno

[prime plinth]

I will avoid bruno

Fair enough if you to him. He's not terrible if he can fluke a pen or 2

[hollow ermine]

More talking footballing aspect rather than fpl

[prime plinth]

Will get cbit and tick along with assists

[novel harbor]

coming back to this msg in a few weeks

that confident

[prime plinth]

His hauls are just inconsistent

[hollow ermine]

I mean as a dm, 4 points virtually every game is huge

He’s still on pens

He’s still on set pieces

[prime plinth]

4 pts for a 9m player and it won't be every game

[hollow ermine]

He’ll pop up with the occasional assist which is already nearing double digit hails

[prime plinth]

Cbit gets him to like 190pts last season right?

He needs 12 cbitbr a game

[hollow ermine]

Would I pay 9mil for it personally when I can have Bowen and/or watkins no

[prime plinth]

He averaged 12.5

[cerulean cape]

@latent depot allison over pickford if I'm not locked for pool?

[hollow ermine]

His xCBIT per game as a dm was 12 I believe

[prime plinth]

He'll tick along but lets not overrate 1/2 dc pts and .36 xgi

[novel harbor]

200

think 198 or something

[valid river]

is baleba still a good pick

or nah

[cedar hull]

10.68 cbit 90 last season for bruno 9.29 career

[hollow ermine]

That’s good g

[valid river]

for bench boost i may add

[cerulean cape]

Pins

[prime plinth]

Yeah still 3 short if this includes br

[cedar hull]

and 193 points last season

[prime plinth]

So he's looking at maybe 20-30 pts

[cedar hull]

he got +19

[prime plinth]

9m good pick maybe at some point but I just don't see any upside with that fixture set

[novel harbor]

+22

[cerulean cape]

I like the fixtures

For bruno

Especially with fh4

[novel harbor]

they're good

[valid river]

draft league?

[novel harbor]

for him

[cerulean cape]

Missed city away

[prime plinth]

Arsenal city and Chelsea first 5. No thanks

[cerulean cape]

Updated points

[prime plinth]

First 7 sure

[cerulean cape]

Also draft, I will sort that later

[prime plinth]

Who's wc 8 though

[hollow ermine]

Assured cbit though

[novel harbor]

he scored and got defcon against chelsea

[prime plinth]

Most are wc6 or 7 so Bruno's fixtures just don't seem nice at all. Maybe if you are more patient with wc

[cedar hull]

+19 from points change

+22 dc

[prime plinth]

Still not a good fixture. History never is the same game to game

[novel harbor]

oh ye my bad

[cerulean cape]

Arsenal and chelsea at home

Its fine

[prime plinth]

Arsenal is the best team itl away defensively

Chelsea. Not so much. Better at home right?

Burnley is good. Fulham away is probably good

Also man utd trying to fit 3 new attackers in the space of a couple weeks

[broken patio]

Bruno will tick along nicely and with a few big hauls but I can't bring myself to go there

I back the ability of other picks to be able to outscore him, especially if you're aggressive with transfers, attacking form players with good fix runs

[latent depot]

Depends on when you want to WC? Don't hate it, but would want the option to triple elsewhere

I haven't been on Pickford for a while

[prime plinth]

Bournemouth and Newcastle is pretty rough for Liverpool defensively no?

[novel harbor]

huh if bruno can score + get DC points against chelsea then what even counts as a "bad" fixture anymore for him?

[broken patio]

If Baleba goes to man utd then ayari is actually the best 5.0 btw

And it's not close

[novel harbor]

bruno is fixture proof

[prime plinth]

Feel like Bournemouth proved to be a cs killer

[novel harbor]

this has always been the case

idk why all of a sudden its being forgotten

its not cope its a fact

[supple steeple]

only consider Pickford if Branthwaite is back, Keane will make sure we concede at least two every game

[latent depot]

Yeah, he could return a YC vs any opponent

[cedar hull]

most of brunos yc are from complaining too lol

[latent depot]

Branthwaite prob not match fit until GW4

[broken patio]

With your pov where do you stand on tarkowski Vs porro for the first 6 weeks?

I guess it matters if branthwaite is back or not

[supple steeple]

yeah

not touching Everton def until Branth is back

[broken patio]

Okay cool

[prime plinth]

Why'd i have to check the away leg

[supple steeple]

MAYBE if we sign a rb so O'Brien can play CB instead of Keane

[broken patio]

If branthwaite is back I go tark, if not I go porro

I can live with that

[prime plinth]

Salah set and forget ig

[latent depot]

Bournemouth should have scored in both games, finishing was atrocious

[novel harbor]

except my gw6 haaland + gibbs white transfer

[prime plinth]

Anyway Bournemouth are due vs Liverpool. W logic from me. Don't pick alisson. 33 shots in 2 games

[prime plinth]

Semenyoooo

[cedar hull]

bournemouths finishing was woeful last season

[broken patio]

Looked at stats for semenyo Vs evanilson and Evan clears

[prime plinth]

Still a cs killer in most cases no? Or am I tripping

[broken patio]

Semenyo is just xShooteverytimeihavetheball

[prime plinth]

Pretty sure semenyo was selling vs Liverpool

[cedar hull]

hard to say if its variance or just players

[prime plinth]

58 goals last season

[broken patio]

I'm gonna say it's variance as it suits my evanilson agenda

[prime plinth]

Bournemouth might concede more and have a worse team balance. Still expect goals

[hollow ermine]

You read my mind

I think if we’re talking those price ranges, watkins,writz,gakpo higher ceiling more likely than not with better fix in better teams with some change left

Like the pick

I’d be too pussey to go there though

[prime plinth]

Forgot Everton finished 13th

Where's my team

[hollow ermine]

Bournemouth attack love xg tbh

[prime plinth]

Utd 44 goals

[hollow ermine]

As much as everyone calls them fourth best attack

Which tbf they are great

Their conversion is balls

[prime plinth]

Brentford 66 goals

[broken patio]

Maybe this year they convert that xg

Hope for Kluivert ded and Evan on pens too

[prime plinth]

Bournemouth away are legit cs killers

[latent depot]

I like how Beef saved the version where I was pointing out Wolves as relegation candidates

[prime plinth]

Near 2 xg a game away from home

Wolves are cooked

They got bailed by the new manager and relegated teams. Couldn't be Tottenham

[latent depot]

Very dependent on their press, especially from the 2 pivots. Both first choice pivots are currently injured/recovering

[prime plinth]

Hmm and the defense ripped apart

[latent depot]

TC Salah

[prime plinth]

Well this is why salah is must have

[slim bane]

The trust we have in Frank to overturn their defence

[prime plinth]

Also makes wirtz more appealing

[slim bane]

And ofc coming back from injuries

[prime plinth]

Nobody does?

[slim bane]

Ffs

[prime plinth]

Unless they forget frank is not a defensive coach

Never has been

[slim bane]

I have either vdv or porro

yall looked rly good against us

[prime plinth]

Yes but that is a select game in which we aren't the favourite

[slim bane]

Time to tinker away

diouf welcome to my team

Orrrrr

Triple forest def

[hollow ermine]

3rd worst np(g-xg)

[prime plinth]

Vs lesser teams. Frank will likely be more man defense

[slim bane]

Wait nah I’d be cooked on gw4

[hollow ermine]

Chelsea fourth

It’s actually insane how good that pool side was

First in every attacking metric

Second in every defensive metric

[prime plinth]

Tbf frank has a great cb pairing to work with. Both are aggressive front foot playing defenders though

[orchid plank]

I wouldn’t advise going in fplchat if your thinking about him

[prime plinth]

Liverpool attack so clear

[slim bane]

I’m joking (partially)

just seen many ppl advocate for him

[hollow ermine]

No flukes at all cause they perform within +/- 0.8 of xg over/underperformance

[slim bane]

Loud minority

[hollow ermine]

They were the best team in the league by a mile

It’s actually insane

City winning the league anyway

[prime plinth]

So basically we should have thiago and welbeck strikers

[slim bane]

In a year where city plagued by injuries we couldn’t capitalise

Sad

[cedar hull]

slot is a ruthless pep/klopp hybrid

[hollow ermine]

Skill issue

[broken patio]

Welbz would be such a good pick if there wasn't hurzeler baldness

[humble bane]

average of goals and xG 🤔

[cedar hull]

man we are so bored, just give us rogers news

[hollow ermine]

A lot of pools tactics just came down to just constantly rummaging the defenses hole

They were just constantly attacking

Didn’t care about the perfect goal

[cedar hull]

mostly down to using salah as an outlet in transition tbh

[hollow ermine]

Just get in there

[prime plinth]

Fr

[hollow ermine]

Diaz was also a good source

[prime plinth]

I'm waiting for my ps games to release.... sports games

[hollow ermine]

Bradley as well

[prime plinth]

That'll give me something to do in the down time after work

Fm a whole cycle without a game

[hollow ermine]

A lot of teams crumbled vs them just due to the fact they just kept coming up with reproducible attacks over and over

[prime plinth]

They also have the guy who had the best pl season ever

Maybe that is recency bias ig. Individually it has to be in the conversation

[hollow ermine]

I still think slot is still just super aggressive even without Salah

[prime plinth]

Absolutely ridiculous what he did. Some of the assists he had as well. Unreal player

[prime plinth]

Ofc. They wouldn't be so dominant if it wasn't for salah though

He is a game changer without a doubt. Nobody like him atm

Maybe Barca fans will say raphinha is doing that ig but he's not Salah. Psg doesn't really have a guy at Salah's level

[waxen river]

Review in disguise

[prime plinth]

[humble bane]

using AI 🤮

[prime plinth]

Would not be me. Even though I keep up with how they think about the game

[humble bane]

only AI i'll be using is Alexander Isak

[prime plinth]

Idm the use of ai as a tool. I find it interesting and great for planning

I'd rather use free tools that give me a gw plan

[cedar pine]

[novel harbor]

wait enzo fernandez is injured too? why tf do WE own sanchez

[cerulean cape]

No Enzo means lavia which is arguably better for sanchez

[novel harbor]

lavia is good for cbit from what i remember 👀

[orchid plank]

he’s injured?

[latent depot]

Forest vs Brentford looking like a 0-0 tbh Kelleher

[novel harbor]

murillo screamer incoming

[latent depot]

I own Murrilo tho

[cerulean cape]

3-0 wood hat trick

[novel harbor]

ik

[latent depot]

Bro doesn't play Brighton for ages

[novel harbor]

all goalkeepers suck i should just go with my usual raya pick

[latent depot]

Wood had 68 shots all season

[orchid plank]

@novel harbor where did u see that he’s injured

[cerulean cape]

All i hear is 34 goals in 55 games under nuno blah blah blah

I made that up, but its close

[novel harbor]

fotmob

was seeing who was playing today

[broken patio]

Felling better and better about kelleher by the day

[novel harbor]

and clicked on chelsea’s injury list

[cedar hull]

main reason i dont like kelleher is his ownership lol

[humble bane]

hes saving plenty of pens this season in my book

[twin ice]

every season 4.5 set and forget GK clears and every season people go 'nah I'll spend some more on them'

[cerulean cape]

I made a pact to full season pickford no matter what

[latent depot]

Pactford

[cerulean cape]

Took me gw19 to get my 2nd gk last year

2nd gk cs

[latent depot]

Might get Pickford on 2nd WC

[cerulean cape]

Had the verbruggen/flekken rotation crap

[prime plinth]

I also just think a Brentford gk is trash

Conceded 57 last season

No reason it improves

[latent depot]

All GKs are trash with early fix. Kelleher is a punt for that random 10 pointer

[prime plinth]

Probably looking at 3.4-3.50 ppm. Sels and Sanchez closer to 4

Definitely some relevance still

[orchid plank]

don’t think he is

[prime plinth]

Sanchez probably the one I pick

Have to check again how many good home fixtures

[novel harbor]

oh

ok

[cedar hull]

yet flekken was one of the highest scoring keepers

[latent depot]

Chelsea fix are all midtable, nothing easy

Their clean sheets in the run in were against relegation attacks including dead United, dead Spurs, knackered Forest

[zenith jolt]

4.5 tosin in colwill's place could come in handy

[cerulean cape]

They only have hato, disasi, fofana, chalobah, bade who play cb

And probably buy a new cb

Veiga

[prime plinth]

Yeah maybe I got teams mixed up idk

[twin ice]

I remember it being all the rage only for Henderson set and forget to cook that

[cedar hull]

keeper rotation proven wrong once again

[latent depot]

Keeper rotation relies on 2 good defences. Just rotating 2 GKs who happen to have compatible fix is disastrous

[prime plinth]

1m itb if we go beto draft

Promoted team feast with kudus and beto

[latent depot]

Imagine picking Beto just to fit Kudus

Not paying 10M this season for anyone not guaranteed pens

[zenith jolt]

more like saka

[prime plinth]

Saka out gw3

Beto probably as well

Saka captain gw2 is a nice pod. Not sure it is worth

No saka .5 itb

[prime plinth]

Beto hauls or rodon does. Win win

[broken patio]

On a 451 I don't think you can go with a fwd who's a mins risk

Because if he doesn't play, a Def can't sub in for him

Autosub guiu every time

[supple steeple]

when does europe start for forest

their depth is shockingly bad imo

[prime plinth]

Yeah it would be a 2 gw punt of saka and beto into transfers. Was not as serious a draft

[broken patio]

It's so bad

They were fortunate that they had almost no injuries last season

Played the same xi basically all season

[supple steeple]

I expect fewer clean sheets, more injuries and more goals conceded

[broken patio]

Europa is going to kill them

[prime plinth]

This one more serious for a non saka draft. Not sure on Munoz vs gab vs cheaper vs this or that

[prime plinth]

I will have for first 6 and dip

[broken patio]

What is this raging hard on for saka

[cedar hull]

Neco early sub due to Europe?

Should be fine til gw6 though

[prime plinth]

Legit just showed draft that isn't saka...

[broken patio]

As long as he makes 60

[prime plinth]

Only plus of saka is gw 2 captain

Pod

[broken patio]

Salah Vs Newcastle looks great

More than good enough to not need to get saka

[cedar hull]

No cbit then

[prime plinth]

What if they sign isak and he is too wide though

[supple steeple]

for who though

they dont have a LB

lol

[prime plinth]

I remember starting salah last season over haaland and got laughed at. Then I got laughed at for keeping haaland post gw12

[supple steeple]

well theres Omar Richards I guess...

they need 3-4 new signings imo

at least

[latent depot]

Have Newcastle signed anyone since Elanga

[prime plinth]

Who needs neco when you can go sels

[prime plinth]

Rejected fc

[supple steeple]

no

[latent depot]

There are 5 outfield Forest players that I'd pick ahead of Sels

[prime plinth]

They wanted sesko

[supple steeple]

well

they loaned Ramsdale

[prime plinth]

Sels is being compared to keepers though and the first 6 are just as safe as it gets

[cedar hull]

Morato lb or smth fuck knows

[supple steeple]

ye maybe

[cedar hull]

But you're entirely right, their depth is shit for a pl team, let alone a Europa league team

[cedar hull]

Ndoye is a great signing imo, but they need quantity

[broken patio]

Yeah we've seen it so many times where a team qualifies for Europe and falls off massively in the next season due to a thin squad and injuries

Forest have this case more extreme than any we've seen lately

[supple steeple]

Palace are even worse

[broken patio]

Think they had the fewest injuries last season of any team

[cedar hull]

I think they just become a defensively solid mid table team

[supple steeple]

they have like 18 players

[broken patio]

True

Few injuries and these teams are fucked

[sterile tree]

good thing they're playing conference

[cedar hull]

Nah palace are bad but better off than forest, conference league is easier than europa

[broken patio]

We don't have to think about that rn though for wc7

[cedar hull]

Is wc7 fh13 the play then

[supple steeple]

Nketiah out for a while etoo

[broken patio]

If forest and palace fall off later that's totally fine

Just need 6 weeks out of them

[broken patio]

Wc7 just makes everything so simple and easy

[supple steeple]

I still want to build for wc4 🤷‍♂️

old habits

[cedar hull]

I wanna get ahead of the crowd on palace assets that's all, still might start with 2

[twin ice]

which is fine, just need them from 1-7 not 1-38

[supple steeple]

hard to change something you've done for the last 7 years

[waxen river]

What would a wc7 team look like

[cedar hull]

Just ask mcgrr

[broken patio]

We don't really need to think about that

Mcgrr has it all sorted though

[quick dawn]

how are people going beto

[cedar hull]

Probably has like 3 drafts

[supple steeple]

Kroupi STONKS

[cedar hull]

Kroupi and thiago locked

Oh yeah forest linked to mads bistrup btw

At least that's something

And mcatee

So they are active

[latent depot]

Idgi what Kroupi news?

[cedar hull]

Dango = kroupi xmins

Nothing major

[latent depot]

Oh

Does Bruno get attacking returns from CM in Amorim's system?

Serious question

Presume the double 10s are just better at £8.0M

[obtuse shoal]

So I was thinking, if a BB2 means you have 2-3 assets in the BUR-SUN fixture, could you not just as well hold your BB to whenever you feel like it? Meaning, could it not be just as good to BB with a more decent asset on your bench alongside a shitty one, then two shitty ones with 'good' fixtures? (does that make sense?)

[humble bane]

Game successfully broken?

[obtuse shoal]

starting each game with VDV? nah, not for me.

[humble bane]

wont need to

i have 3 rotation options on bench

4 players rotating for 1 spot is more than good

[trail forum]

this may be the new (thread) template format

need wissa to newcastle to spice things up

[latent depot]

Esteve covers GW2 and GW5, which is fine

[obtuse shoal]

until Burnley start leaking goals... and suddenly Esteve is at best a 2pts player...

[latent depot]

Na, Esteve's modal return is prob 3

[hollow ermine]

God

[obtuse shoal]

well yeah 2 or 3, same same to me

[latent depot]

Mode/median/mean will all be 3 for Esteve

Yeah realistic range is 2-4

[humble bane]

Kroupi nailed?

[latent depot]

But Forest might just be 0-0 GW5 you never know

[broken patio]

Nah

But

He should be getting regular sub minutes at the least

[humble bane]

fairs

[latent depot]

Kroupi 🤝 Guiu 1 point merchants

[broken patio]

Think he can play LW too, and dango leaving only helps him

[supple steeple]

no you dont

[humble bane]

problem with this team is 3 transfers needed to get to Isak (without killing off Salah)

ig i could kill wirtz but no way im dropping wirtz if we have isak

[broken patio]

2 moves

Can sell any of your premium mids and upgrade Bowen

[humble bane]

I dont wanna do Gakpo -> 5.0 starter 💀

DRIBBLING STONKS

[broken patio]

Skibidibling

[obtuse shoal]

What I also wonder is, if some FBs are gonna start collecting assists (let's say this season's Robinson) is everyone gonna be sticking to their DefCon players? Imagine a full back collecting 3 assists and 1 time defcon in first say 6 games. While a CB get's 3 defcons in 6...

[broken patio]

Rn I've got 1 CB and 3fbs in my back 4 lol

Murillo Neco Munoz porro

[obtuse shoal]

I got Neco and Munoz also already. Considering a third as well.

I just mean, doesn't even sound that far fetched to see players like RAN and Kerkez shine. And probably some cheaper options as well...

[humble bane]

Frimpong >> all other 6ms rn in my book

based on eye test

[obtuse shoal]

you're a pool fan, surely you must know he's far from nailed?

[cedar hull]

Aina got 33 less points than murillo

[humble bane]

he is nailed for short term imo

[cedar hull]

2 goals 1 ass

[obtuse shoal]

is Bradley out or something?

[humble bane]

once ucl starts then yea bradley might rotate, but rn bradley is injured anyway

frimpong is first choice over bradley though it seems

[cedar hull]

Fullbacks are still viable, but harder to quantify

[obtuse shoal]

yeah, just saying, I get the reasoning in going for cb's, but their gain is in the long run. So I'm curious how it's gonna go if a fb hauls in the short run.

[cedar hull]

Well you could argue a fullbacks gain is in the long run since you can't predict assists

It's just variance

[hollow ermine]

Got 2 fullbacks rn, albeit none particularly attacking like Munoz

[cedar hull]

Like if milenkovic gets a goal on neco over first 6 or smth

[hollow ermine]

Full backs aren’t giving you anything if their not giving you GI so how long are you gonna hold them for

[quick dawn]

i can already see milenkovic hauling

[cedar hull]

Tbh I'm fully expecting people going neco over milenkovic get shafted by like 2 goals in first 3

[quick dawn]

yeah

[hollow ermine]

Cb’s can give a consistent 4 points every game

Murillo vs milenkovic is still a big flip a coin

[quick dawn]

tbh 1 goal is worth like 4*2 cbit points

but its just rng

he might play 10 games and not score

[cedar hull]

Wdym 4*2 cbit points

[quick dawn]

6 pointsand 2 bps is the same as hitting defcon on 4 times

sry im tired

[obtuse shoal]

but at best a player gets dc points half of the times. So you'd need 8 games to reach that.

[cedar hull]

Tark got it in 30/38 or smth

[hollow ermine]

8 games 16 points extra and Trent hauls once and matches

[violet temple]

Guessand surely makes malen not viable yeah?

[cedar hull]

Id say so, at best it's a future transfer out

[hollow ermine]

Definitely reduced his xmins which were already shady to begin with yeah

Arias pog and goon

[obtuse shoal]

I think I had Anderson's numbers in my head

[hollow ermine]

I’m hearing Anderson is one of the best assets in the game

[hollow ermine]

Just super depressing to own him over a 5.5 attacker

[cedar hull]

33 starts idk

[hollow ermine]

Damn

[quick dawn]

i do think guessand wont start right away

but i dunno

its hard to say

malen could be good but im just not confident

[hollow ermine]

Probably but why you planning a ft for gw3 now

[quick dawn]

yeah thats why i dont have malen

[hollow ermine]

He started 33 games

Cause he played 33 games

[cedar hull]

[hollow ermine]

Anyway

[hollow ermine]

You on a 451?

[quick dawn]

smth like this bench can change

i feel like its too close to a bot team though lol

[hollow ermine]

Brother you’re in this thread on a normal

Ship has sailed

[quick dawn]

i havent used any of the tools but my midfield is close to the bot midfield with ndiaye

[hollow ermine]

Both marmoush and Bruno?

Oh ok

Anderson isn’t playing most weeks anyway

[quick dawn]

yeah i could get gakpo or mateta and drop anderson

[obtuse shoal]

This is Tark, right?

[violet temple]

Is that the last seasons defcon?

[cedar hull]

for tark yeah

[violet temple]

that's acc insane

It's mostly 3-4+s

might have to be a lock for me

[obtuse shoal]

Somehow I'm still not convinced by Tark

[orchid plank]

6.5 for guessand lmao

[violet temple]

Wtf fpl price out alr?

[orchid plank]

yea

[obtuse shoal]

Not like Guessand is an option straight away, anyway.

[cedar hull]

0.51 xgi last season

good price

[novel harbor]

this is scarily similar to my team.. start jsl btw

[quick dawn]

over who

i mean i might bench boost with darlow and rodon

[novel harbor]

evanilson

pool keeping cs gw1 🥱

first game of season right? ye gotta be boring

[insert prem is so finished tweets]

[quick dawn]

idk i rate bournemouths attack

[novel harbor]

right after first game

[silent jasper]

I doubt Pool will keep cs but will have to see how well they do against Palace during Community shield this weekend

[hollow ermine]

More so Everton defence than tark in of itself

But I mean they were shipping 4 and he was still hitting defcon

(Obviously it then cancels out)

[novel harbor]

they have past 3 h2h, why not make it 4

[silent jasper]

VVD as an asset

[novel harbor]

its basically the only reason im on vvd

[hollow ermine]

Is Tark worth the 0.5 over lacroix

[novel harbor]

yes

[hollow ermine]

Idk

Over Nico Williams

[novel harbor]

ya

[hollow ermine]

Absolutely

[silent jasper]

yes

[hollow ermine]

5.5 to 5.0 drop off isn’t huge

Albeit playing any 5.0 at all is shady

[quick dawn]

im murillo neco porro tark

[supple steeple]

if Branthwaite isnt back, no

[novel harbor]

spreading arias propaganda

[supple steeple]

we will concede 2-3 goals a game until Branth is back

because we have the worst CB in the league playing

[silent jasper]

Keane

[hollow ermine]

Obrien is playing rb

[novel harbor]

its fine u guys with sign a fullback

[latent depot]

Wait, aren't you buying a RB? So O'Brien can play CB

[hollow ermine]

Ez arias goon

[humble bane]

Joao Pedro eye test today

[supple steeple]

yeah, if we sign a rb we should be slightly better at least

[latent depot]

Announce James Justin

[supple steeple]

however if that rb is james justin idk...

lol

[hollow ermine]

Announce disasi

[quick dawn]

justin used to be an fpl cheat code

[novel harbor]

fullkrug

i like it actually

[latent depot]

Google says you're about to spend £15M on Justin

[novel harbor]

basically nailed

[hollow ermine]

Rotating with arias supposedly

[novel harbor]

ye i would start andersen over arias gw1 but fulham wont keep cs and i can see people knee jerking arias in after he scores a hatty against city

[hollow ermine]

Solio has 2 Leeds top 5 5.0

Yeah no

Rest are fodder too

Lerma fml

Xhaka though

[novel harbor]

ive been looking at xP for each wildcard week for each one of my drafts on solio. this is for my no arias 4-5-1 draft

[hollow ermine]

Ibr

I can’t read that shit

[orchid plank]

A brace today and a benching in gw2 will be perfect

[humble bane]

wtf

[novel harbor]

basically without bb and fh considered it seems to think my best wc week is wc4

[cedar hull]

allat for a 10 point range in xpts

[novel harbor]

(for that draft)

[humble bane]

this is not a normal way to play FPL 😭 👎

[novel harbor]

theres like 8 of these whole tree's

[humble bane]

making a whole flowchart im dead

[novel harbor]

its just for fun i wont even use this, just interesting to see what markets think

[humble bane]

😌

[hollow ermine]

“Fun”

I see how vrawn feels now

I’ve been too harsh on the fucker

[novel harbor]

its more fun when you see all of them and the different paths. this is just 1/8 🙄

[elder cargo]

You will need to finish minimum top 10k or there will be immense slander and abuse

[hollow ermine]

It looks interesting though

[novel harbor]

im not using it so i dont need to

[marsh chasm]

Anything I can improve for bb2

[elder cargo]

what is that chart

[hollow ermine]

I personally don’t know how to use those interfaces that way

[novel harbor]

its just solio

[hollow ermine]

Jade

What is your job

[novel harbor]

been playing around with it since launch

[hollow ermine]

Or like area of expertise

[novel harbor]

econ

[hollow ermine]

Of course

It is

[novel harbor]

but not like finance, im more into labour econ and heterodox econ broadly

[latent depot]

Who will take pens for Wolves?

[hollow ermine]

Short answer we don’t know

Hwang only one with evidence

[latent depot]

[novel harbor]

arias

[cedar hull]

arias or jsl

[hollow ermine]

Ggs

[latent depot]

Hwang's been out of the team right

[hollow ermine]

You guys here are successful people

Truly hellfire club

[latent depot]

I did econ at uni

Play with spreadsheets and PowerPoint these days

[novel harbor]

i read pdfs and books these days

[wanton whale]

i watch tiktoks

[novel harbor]

oh i do that too actually

[quick dawn]

econ gang

[obtuse shoal]

I hated econ at uni anything that had any maths involved really

[quick dawn]

bro is on the austrian server

chicago is better

[novel harbor]

post-keynesian>

[novel harbor]

only to argue/debate with them and annoy them

[quick dawn]

heteredox mostly sucks

[novel harbor]

nah you will come to learn that neoclassical econ is all bs

[quick dawn]

do you know scott sumner

[novel harbor]

i do

[quick dawn]

i like him

[novel harbor]

defo one of the more tolerable chicago types

but all monetarists suck

[quick dawn]

i mean he is an advocate of basically interventionist monetary policy

[cedar hull]

what no rogers does to a man

[novel harbor]

ye ngdp targeting is more activist than friedman rule stuff. he has somewhat decent critiques of fiscal suterity

[quick dawn]

eh

[novel harbor]

his hearts in the right place

[quick dawn]

he basically thinks you can offet austerity with monetary policy

which i agree with

[novel harbor]

ye hes wrong. but this probs isnt the channel to get into why haha

[quick dawn]

are u on any good econ servers

[novel harbor]

i dont think there any good econ servers

[quick dawn]

sad

[novel harbor]

if im being honest

[broken patio]

Just took Marmoush out of my team and put Bruno in

[novel harbor]

lfg

[broken patio]

Fplwire convincing me again

[quick dawn]

why not both

[novel harbor]

his team structure

[violet temple]

cold

[quick dawn]

he has the pool mids?

[violet temple]

keep the marmoush lowkey 🔥

[quick dawn]

tbh most of the good picks are low ownership

[quick dawn]

my only high ownership picks are kelleher salah and palmer i think

[novel harbor]

league of his own

[quick dawn]

guessand 6.5 mil

bit too much imo

[cedar hull]

this is just caveman but in graph form

[novel harbor]

true lol

idk if i have latest caveman projections

has it been updated since the 4th

[cedar hull]

latest/last is in pinned

[broken patio]

Basically puts him at a floor of like 4 points

Plus the haul potential he has already

Plus 3 better attackers to win pens and get his assists

[orchid plank]

Nine City players left out of #mcfc squad for Palermo. Gvardiol, Rodri, Foden and Echeverri classed as not fully fit

[cedar hull]

it doesnt take into account regression from cam to dm though

[novel harbor]

perfect

[wanton whale]

Marmoush

could be on the cards

[cedar hull]

bruno is fine just not for those fix imo

[hollow ermine]

After reading through chat

I have come to a conclusion

[cedar hull]

wissa to nufc

happening

[hollow ermine]

I’m going back to fpl chat to talk unintelligent conversation

[cedar hull]

this is a safe space

[violet temple]

cold

Wissa and thiago both viable options now

[slim bane]

wtf bou. Infinite to get raided

[violet temple]

who'll be on pens for newcastle?

[slim bane]

Rodri

[cedar hull]

wissa probs

[slim bane]

Time to sell city assets

[silent jasper]

Haaland and Marmoush

[violet temple]

why?

cuz no rodri?

[silent jasper]

@violet temple

[silent jasper]

yes

[slim bane]

Yea

City are cheeks without rodri

Night and day

[violet temple]

I don't think that means they're like out out yeah?

Could still be back for the first gws

[novel harbor]

we cut it off before it got too nerdy lol back to fpl discourse

[novel harbor]

i dont see why haaland stonks go up

[silent jasper]

idk some people like him as their only or 2nd premium?

[slim bane]

That’s not stonks

Stonks is

[broken patio]

Wissa at Newcastle could be brilliant

[novel harbor]

oh lol

[broken patio]

Who would've thought that dango to Brentford is the domino that triggers isak to Newcastle

[cedar hull]

yeah but not for gw1

[humble bane]

Bournemouth last season fed me so many good hatewatches vs City, Arsenal and Uni7ed... and now they're about to give me Isak 😭

I am now a Bournemouth fan too

[broken patio]

Go one step further and get evanilson

Idk how to make this look aesthetic but I kinda love it

[cedar hull]

united 18th for attacking fixtures 12 gw horizon btw

[broken patio]

By no means is he a lock

Just putting him in and seeing how it feels

[cedar hull]

feels like shit just want kdb back

[broken patio]

Mhm

[quick dawn]

yeah good team similar to mine

[latent depot]

DC points go brrrrrrr

[lavish parcel]

Wissa to NEW when

Just announce it already

[quick dawn]

i think bruno is fine in bad fix

[lavish parcel]

Just be prepared for that YC for crying to ref

[quick dawn]

villa are offering ramsey a new contract

[lavish parcel]

Oh?

The Malen dream is officially ded

[quick dawn]

i mean they dont rly play the same position

but yeah its like 5 players for 3 spots

[broken patio]

Malen dream was dead when guessand signed

Rutter and minteh just .5 more than malen btw

[quick dawn]

strand larsen only 1 mil more

[lavish parcel]

I like minteh, he's on my watchlist

[trail forum]

how are they options but not welbz, whos welb competing with these days

[lavish parcel]

I think Rutter

[trail forum]

so then how is rutter an option 🤨

he looked class last season tbf

but thought he was off the right

[hollow ermine]

Fpl discourse and nerdy are not mutually exclusive here

[lavish parcel]

Idk if Brighton even has a proper front 3

[broken patio]

First choice can play 10 or 9

9 when welbz isn't there

[lavish parcel]

All I know from Brighton is that Mitoma is left locked. ( L ball knowledge tbh)

[broken patio]

Front 4 of Mitoma LW, minteh RW, Rutter 10, welbz 9

But when welbz is being rested it will be Rutter 9

And then gruda/O'Riley 10

[trail forum]

is enciso in the conversation

[broken patio]

Gruda can also play rw

Doubt it really

We have basically no cover for Mitoma at lw so if he's happy to play LW then he could be kept in the squad to fill that role

[novel harbor]

someone convince me that left gets more points than right

[lavish parcel]

Rutter being the most nailed asset for Brighton after Mitoma then?

[broken patio]

Probably the best for xmins as well as Mitoma too yeah

But you never know when hurzeler will just start welbz and gruda for instance

[novel harbor]

@trail forum not helping

[broken patio]

But Rutter should be pretty damn safe

And very central and involved whether he's 10 or 9, I really like him ngl

[cedar hull]

idky people want brighton assets tbh

just avoid them

[broken patio]

Yeah it's easier to just do a wait and see

Because any of those 4 could end up as the best one

[lavish parcel]

I would like one for wc13

Until then it's wait and watch

[broken patio]

We should know more about mins and form by then

So should be safer

[lavish parcel]

Classiic

👋

I think classiic has been the most helpful FFH to me

We can all forget about Petrovic

[broken patio]

@cedar hull

[cedar hull]

whats up

[quick dawn]

id probably get jsl a 5.5 def and invest elsehwere

[elder cargo]

not much

[cedar hull]

id still go petro over kelleher if wc13

wc7 probs kelleher tho

[wanton whale]

we all going semenyo right?

[cedar hull]

who is we

[novel harbor]

theres no where else to invest for the right side if thats what u mean

its pretty much maxed out

its just preference between anderson/arias/tielemans

atleast i dont think there is

becuz if i go this team im just fh4

i am considering sanchez -> raya tho

[zenith jolt]

Schade is 7 million

🤣

[quick dawn]

you could do some defender rotation with anderson

or upgrade anderson but the 6.5s dont look so good

[novel harbor]

im already somewhat rotating anderson/andersen

i could upgrade andersen to 5.0 but the only one i want is lacroix who i'd be free hitting in anyway

[quick dawn]

i dont like andersen due to the fixtures i think

[novel harbor]

i only really like him for floor

[quick dawn]

i mean i basically have the same team but i have evanilson

yours looks great though

[novel harbor]

i dont wanna go evanilson gw1 becuz bournemouth arent scoring against pool imo

[cedar hull]

cant wait to get nailed dango

[quick dawn]

you could bench him

[novel harbor]

cant bench 1 forward

[quick dawn]

i mean that i have evanilson and larsen

[novel harbor]

oh

ye

im for 4-5-1 heavy rn

i dont like forwards at all

[zenith jolt]

i have a problem

too much money to spend

[acoustic edge]

???

owns rutter btw

[zenith jolt]

i dont own rutter you mug

[quick dawn]

rutter woke nonsense

i never have money to spend ngl

[zenith jolt]

is gakpo worth 1m over a 6.5

[wanton whale]

if you dont own a second pool attacker

[lavish parcel]

If that 6.5m is Sarr, then no
If that 6.5m isn't Sarr, then yes

[thin jasper]

Wissa or Evanilson

wait i thought the deadline was today i was panicking for nothing 😭😭

championship starts today

ahhhh

[slim bane]

Wait pl starts in a week?

wtf I’m not ready

[thin jasper]

yeah!

i like my team

just a decision of which forward to get

[slim bane]

rogers pleaseeeee

[latent depot]

I did an Ayy planned up to AFCON

[cedar hull]

think thats a ben crellin

[novel harbor]

does broja start

[latent depot]

Kinda easy tbh, split into GW1-6 WC7 BB8 FH13 so broken down into segments

[latent depot]

Bro won't be 4.5 tho

[novel harbor]

oh how much is he

5?

[latent depot]

Not in the game

Will be added 5.5 prob

[novel harbor]

[slim bane]

The balls deep draft

[latent depot]

I don't hate it

[slim bane]

I hate starting Bruno against Arsenal

Knowing us we’re gonna give him a pen anw

Fixtures lowkey ass tho

wtf

City in gw4

And then wc7 won’t make sense

they face Sunderland

[thin jasper]

feel good about this

[slim bane]

Chelsea in gw5 asw

[thin jasper]

can move wissa too

[slim bane]

What fucking sickos are going with Bruno

[thin jasper]

Bruno’s the man

[cedar hull]

review made people choose him and now ccs are all over it pushing for him

[latent depot]

If no Rogers, I'm punting on Johnson GW1 & GW3, bench him for Esteve GW2. He gets sold GW4

[thin jasper]

I chose him before Review did!

[slim bane]

This fix are not it

[cedar hull]

18th for expected goals for the next 10 fix

and they choose a 9m dm because hes on pens

[thin jasper]

he’s reliable enough anyways, plus you can easily pivot to the hot new toy

by GW4

[slim bane]

Nah fuck that

Bruno experiment out

[cedar hull]

dont get the whole , pick him because you can pick someone else by downgrading him thing

[slim bane]

I have 4 other mids to downgrade

Maybe go back to my 442

Watkins mateta

[obtuse shoal]

Just get all the most expensive players so you can downgrade them if necessary. Easy.

[thin jasper]

exactly!

[slim bane]

I don’t see anyone owning Haaland smh

[wanton whale]

Bruno if United didn’t sign sesko had promise

[cedar hull]

yeah there were chances they play mbeumo cunhs bruno up top

but now its just maybe for last 10-20mins

[wanton whale]

Yeah like against Everton

Ig it’s good for us coz people will still pick him

[cedar hull]

he wont do bad

just wont do good either

[supple steeple]

I think he will have his second best season ever

FPL wise at least

[cedar hull]

tbf theres a chasm between his best and 2nd best

244 1st 176 2nd

[lavish parcel]

If I have double Brentford defence (Kelleher+Collins), should I WC7 or WC13?

I am leaning on WC13 since I have triple pool attack

[acoustic edge]

gw3 cap

[supple steeple]

yep

he'll be closer to first than second

[quick dawn]

i like it

[humble bane]

Eye test failed already

he's finished

50%+ ownership una

[latent depot]

clean sheet point Burnley too defensive to farm enough CBITs

[humble bane]

Nvm I just saw Chels play again in 2 days

eye test back on

[cedar hull]

Esteve averaged 8.4 in the championship, I'd expect that to increase

[latent depot]

Esteve is actually a fixture proof 1st/2nd bench. 2-4 points almost always

[humble bane]

cs and g/a >>> cbits

esteve is 4m tho ofc

[cedar hull]

Well yeah, but we are talking about a 4m defender here lol

[lavish parcel]

Who's the other CB for Burnley? Ekdal or someone else?

[cedar hull]

Think so

[lavish parcel]

I know Hartman is LB

[cedar hull]

Esteve is better + new contract buff

Called him as soon as game launched

[lavish parcel]

I am definitely looking at BB2

Dubravka, Esteve and Ekdal masterclass

Ekdal vs Hartman is the question 😭

[cedar hull]

I want esteve but on rodon rn for lacroix gw1 cover

[lavish parcel]

Cheapest BB, what could go wrong

[lavish parcel]

Spurs game will be good for esteve's cbit points

[acoustic edge]

if ur still on joao pedro why

[lavish parcel]

They have like zero creativity

[acoustic edge]

delap starting tdy

[cedar hull]

Not as good as rodons Cs odds

[lavish parcel]

I mean Leeds defence isn't the best

Their gk has had a history of bad mistakes

Also they are kind of bad at defending set pieces

I definitely see Tark or Keane scoring from set piece/corners

[cedar hull]

Leeds defence was better than burnleys

Statistically

Trafford was just insane

[lavish parcel]

Burnley had least goals conceded no?

Let me go see xga for both teams

[lavish parcel]

They've got dubravka tho

Better than any Leeds gk

Just saying Esteve is more useful than rodon

[cedar hull]

Perri is decent though

[cedar hull]

Leeds had like 10 less xga

Esteve is better ofc, but rodon against Everton is fine

[lavish parcel]

Spurs haven't scored since solanke has been out

[novel harbor]

more than fine its optimal

[lavish parcel]

Just that lucky goal from Sarr

[novel harbor]

everton best team for cb's to go up against for cbit

[broken patio]

Electronic Steve

[novel harbor]

and its leeds best game for getting a cs in the first few gameweeks

[lavish parcel]

I mean Leeds are defo better than arsenal since they only conceded 1 to Villareal compared to 3 from arsenal

[cedar hull]

Need Rogers news so I can send draft

451 beta male if Rogers is fit

[latent depot]

my squad is done

with/without Rogers, I'm ready

Johnson punt until IB1, Esteve covers GW2

will pick Rogers if confirmed fit, but not just on rumour. need him to play 85+ not 70

[zenith jolt]

Broon fernansh

[acoustic edge]

might cap adingra instead

bb2 100 pts

adingra 2 goals first 3, richards covers gw4 and gw2 bb

it’s adingra szn

[supple steeple]

wild

[hollow ermine]

Just get rid of vvd g use that money somewhere

[acoustic edge]

most of that is template

[acoustic edge]

where

[hollow ermine]

Or just play 451

[supple steeple]

how have you convinced yourself to go Igor and JSL

[hollow ermine]

No point

[supple steeple]

what am I missing?

[acoustic edge]

forwards are horror

name 1 good forward

[humble bane]

kelleher where

[acoustic edge]

and both are on pens

[acoustic edge]

ok the bench after gw2

[supple steeple]

(maybe) on pens

pens they never get anyway

Wolves at least

[lavish parcel]

He's not in squad, a little panic for me

[humble bane]

😦

I hope he is fine

otherwise i will just have two 4.0 GKs

[cedar hull]

Crazy how adingra and Bruno could just be gakpo and rogers

[elder cargo]

Arias could easily be on pens doe

JSL hasn’t taken a pen in years

[acoustic edge]

live a little

and bruno’s optimal so

we won’t be the ones crying when bruno scores a hattrick gw3 at 25EO and we’ve got him captained 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

[supple steeple]

and only for Norways U21

[acoustic edge]

he’s the striker he’s getting them

[elder cargo]

3 pens ever 🔥

[acoustic edge]

.6EV / game added imbafraid

[elder cargo]

you’ve got it sorted

[acoustic edge]

100% record vs arias BELOW AVERAGE record

i know which one i’m taking

letting a guy who has scored below statistical mean take the only way you’re getting anything out of a game fairs

[zenith jolt]

where money

[acoustic edge]

wolves losing every game 5-1 jsl scoring that goal ending on 38 goals
