[oak furnace]

guehi, richards, tosin, awb, konsa, dorgu, agbadou

[cedar hull]

Andersen and Richards clear tbh

[oak furnace]

i don't mind agbadou

[novel harbor]

there arent

tbh

like 5 viable ones

[oak furnace]

i need someone for gw2 bb

[novel harbor]

realistically

[oak furnace]

Either 4.0 or 4.5 defender

[cedar hull]

Agbadou is good apart from the fact that he plays for a relegation tier defence

Esteve is right there bro

[oak furnace]

richards, agbadou, tosin, konsa are who im tossing up between

i already have esteve

I'm going 3atb

So i need 2 bench defenders

[acoustic edge]

i hate VDV so much

how do i find 1M for porro

[oak furnace]

vdv useless for gw2 bb

[cedar hull]

Senesi then

[oak furnace]

Whats the appeal of jsl? Is it just that cunha is gone

[cedar hull]

I don't know either tbh

Review likes him, decent fix, apparently on pens

[cedar hull]

Raya down seems the only way

[orchid plank]

don’t see why u spend 5.5 for raya tbh

[oak furnace]

for gw2 bench boost?

[novel harbor]

oh shit we're on very very simialr draft

[oak furnace]

I reckon wolves could score vs Bournemouth

[cedar hull]

Wolves are one of the worst attacks in the league

[novel harbor]

ye that was my solution

if solanke gets good mins tmr i think solanke edges it over mateta

[acoustic edge]

raya vdv vs romero sanchez fairs

[oak furnace]

why everyone got jsl

[acoustic edge]

would love the .5 for porro to move to munoz gw4 but

[novel harbor]

wirtz and marmoush too

but im still not fully decided on this

[acoustic edge]

marmoush mins are 🕊️🕊️

[novel harbor]

why would they be?

can play multiple positions and hes been great for city.

think his position could be rotated but i think his mins will stay at around a solid 70-80 min mark which im somewhat ok with

especially with kovacic and rodri out and savinho potentially leaving. certain formations just wont be viable for city

[acoustic edge]

fair enough

i’d like both but 😭

[copper hinge]

I think I’m gonna risk it with marmoush

[oak furnace]

Richards vs senesi for gw2 bb. Who you picking?

[copper hinge]

Bou play who?

[acoustic edge]

wolves home

[novel harbor]

actually wait bro can literally play everywhere lol wtf didnt realise he could play off the right too

[copper hinge]

I still think Richards tbf

[oak furnace]

Forest vs wolves

[acoustic edge]

u thought abt haaland whatsoever?

[oak furnace]

both at home

[novel harbor]

i have

[acoustic edge]

we r def gonna end up on the same team btw gg

but like haaland marmoush/wirtz sanchez vs salah mateta raya

i wouldn’t mind taking the risk on the former but

[novel harbor]

im just scared of picking haaland

if i wasnt in a few competitive leagues and was planning on just having fun this season then i'd maybe go with him butttt

that office league prize pool is screaming my name

[waxen river]

How much will solio cost

[acoustic edge]

LMAO fairs

[novel harbor]

we're not sure yet but prices are said to be competitive

so expect something reasonable :)

[oak furnace]

what's solio

[novel harbor]

solver/analytics tool

based on the market

quite customisable. ive projected a few of my own projections/values into it

[marsh palm]

Wirtz to Gakpo like me

[acoustic edge]

gakpo is NOT playing 90s

nice team tho

[marsh palm]

maybe if isak comes

otherwise who? rio?

[novel harbor]

i do like this but isak is scaring me a bit which is whats deterring me

i just cant see ekitike not playing

[marsh palm]

considering im alr on eze from gakpo by gw4 ill take the risk

[copper hinge]

Am I cooking or burning the kitchen

[marsh palm]

its like 4 players different from one another lol

[novel harbor]

i think if ur gonna go haaland you probs just gamble on him being the main attacking output and go marmoush to wirtz to cover more liverpool ground (given that they're the best attack)

but other than that looks fine

[marsh palm]

if i didnt have chelsea bias i think it’d be mateta or solanke

or like munoz and romero

[copper hinge]

Im just not high on wirtz at all for some reason, but I deffo agree with the idea

I don’t know why

Gakpo marmoush rogers deffo up for debate

The rest I feel pretty set

[marsh palm]

its just that by gw4 i assume even if he does sign hes not up to par and challenging the 9 with ekitike rather than having it nailed and then ekitike battling gakpo on the left

[acoustic edge]

u gotta keep the template quiet

[novel harbor]

tbf its not quiet rn

been gaining pace for a few days now

just slight variations

[marsh palm]

u hated on my haaland larsen team yesterday… interesting

that team also had palmer gakpo murillo tarkowski guiu esteve and dubravka

[novel harbor]

this has basically been my dilemma for the past week. i think that the right outscores overall. but i think short term, up until gw7, the left just might have a better chance. (mateta/jp/solanke undecided)

[marsh palm]

im taking ur word for porro

[wanton whale]

left looks better

[cedar hull]

Whichever one has mateta

[marsh palm]

honestly ik we dont like content creators but i found salah teams possible when i saw fpl harry’s new vid

it let me explore 4-4-2s and 3-5-2s

[novel harbor]

ye i think partially becuz of ceiling capability with mateta its probably better

short term

[marsh chasm]

will grealish affect ndiaye?

[acoustic edge]

left looks way better

[marsh palm]

mines is porro+lacroix vs romero+munoz

[novel harbor]

it doessss but the right will get more points (by quite alot) by the end of the season

[acoustic edge]

u can transfer romero out gw4 to lavroix asw

[acoustic edge]

transfers bro

[novel harbor]

but its not a set and forget game sooo

[novel harbor]

ye exactly

[acoustic edge]

mateta will get 150, romero 120.
vs porro 135 vvd 150
like a 15 point swing across the season tops and ur chasing fixtures

[surreal ocean]

if spurs sign eze i may go sarr -> anderson

put funds somewhere else

[novel harbor]

ye but that 15 points could be massive

can quite literally be the difference between top 10k and 1k

[broken patio]

The feeling when an assist is more likely than a clean for Bart

[hallow anchor]

Honestly my favourite moment of last season

After holding him for a 7-0 Vs Nottingham forest

[broken patio]

I just remember every time Brighton scored you were in liverant saying
'say Bart ass'

[hallow anchor]

Can you explain how forest scored 7 goals on you in 1 game btw??

[broken patio]

We went on a tear after that

[hallow anchor]

The don't look like scoring 7 goals all season

[broken patio]

Long story short we had 0 midfielders, we were playing Pedro and Rutter in midfield, also tactics were just all over the place
Hurzeler literally burnt up his tactical plan Infront of the players after that game

Just got it totally wrong

[hallow anchor]

Fair enough

[broken patio]

Then we went like 7 games unbeaten after

Including beating Chelsea twice in one week

[hallow anchor]

Dunno if I can go there again

[broken patio]

Genuinely it was good for us

[hallow anchor]

Paying 5m for a keeper though just feels dirty

[broken patio]

Mhm

Sa and Sanchez are there but idk how I feel about double forest Def

They could fall off haaaard

They've only played prem level opponents once in preseason and lost 3-1

[hallow anchor]

I think they will be fine until Europe when everyone will just wildcard them out

They play bad teams

[broken patio]

Yeah the fix are really good

[hallow anchor]

Should keep a couple of cleans

[broken patio]

I'm in a similar conundrum rn,
Considering
sarr+4.5 keeper
Vs
Rutter + sels

[hallow anchor]

Take the shitty keeper every time

[broken patio]

Yeah

Hold on to the fact that that difference in points between price points is at its lowest with keepers

[sterile tree]

would like rutter+4.5 keeper

[marsh palm]

rutter is the best brighton play i think

[acoustic edge]

yes but matetas points are tilted towards fixtures

[marsh palm]

can play the 9 or 10

[broken patio]

Yeah

[novel harbor]

ye ik

[acoustic edge]

okay i’ve just seen lets talk fpl draft

cool

we will all have the same team

literally 8/11 with the 3 different picks porro sanchez neco vs VDV raya murillo

so haram

[copper hinge]

I think ur mistaking me with someone else then

Im getting framed on discord

[broken patio]

Becoming more and more set on this by the day

[wanton whale]

[broken patio]

As a neutral that's funny as fuck

[wanton whale]

fr

[broken patio]

Felt nailed on that he goes to arsenal and might end up at their biggest rivals

[wanton whale]

we dont need him tbf

[sterile tree]

he wouldn't want to play backup

[broken patio]

[wanton whale]

im not mad but why tf did we go straight for madueke

[humble bane]

Spurs r cooking

[broken patio]

Joking btw

I think you're right

Bit I couldn't not copium reacc that

[humble bane]

you need him if u want a title challenge

[wanton whale]

idk if Eze leaving is better or worse for Mateta

[broken patio]

Guarantees pens

But obvs hurts the attack

[wanton whale]

yeah just will be way worse going forward

[broken patio]

Palace need some #10s/wingers

It's just, just sarr

[wanton whale]

i might just go sarr and use the 1m to do Gakpo to Wirtz/Bruno

[broken patio]

I think I'm nailed on mateta either way, it's just whether I was sarr as well or not

[waxen river]

Why would u want to play champions league football for spurs

[broken patio]

Thing is rn they both look like the best assets at their price

[wanton whale]

yeah exactly

i just cant shake Jp rn feel he does so well

[broken patio]

My bias is trying to get me to get Rutter over sarr though

[surreal ocean]

still think ndiaye is close to sarr

[wanton whale]

Rutter is the only brighton i like tbf

[broken patio]

No chance

Lemme pull up stats

[surreal ocean]

stats shmats

it were talking about a 7 gw punt i think ndiaye could edge it for me

on pens, inside forward

far better fixtures than palace

[wanton whale]

this works tbf

[broken patio]

Wait

Lemme do /90 to be fair

[surreal ocean]

fudging the numbers

[wanton whale]

lmao Vini linked to man city

[keen wren]

who's on nomium

[broken patio]

Doing /90 literally helps ndiaye as he played less 90s

[wanton whale]

people looking to start at 5m OR

[keen wren]

didn't know u were on it then

[wanton whale]

im not if you scroll up a lil 😎

[keen wren]

wirtz and jp 😭

[wanton whale]

how are you sobbing Wirtz

[keen wren]

you'll see

[wanton whale]

[trail forum]

baki chatting a lot for an #wc_fantasy merchant 😭

i would too if i couldnt hack it in the big leagues either

fantasy games

you aint in the club little bro

with your kiddie transfers

but the answer is like 500/600 quid

[keen wren]

easy bait

[novel harbor]

ok this is just made me change my team

[copper hinge]

We flexing fantasy earnings now

[novel harbor]

thats actually pissed me off

[trail forum]

fpl is nearly back

[trail forum]

no matter how much people will hide it

everyone is afriad of the clanker picks

sooo

especially andy, hes basically a review merchant

[novel harbor]

his team is actually slightly closer to solio than review rn.. wonder if hes made a sneaky swap to try and beat the allegations

[trail forum]

yeah by review i just mean algos in general reall

i havnt even seen the team but id guess

[acoustic edge]

so fucking annoying

come haaland w me

[trail forum]

sanchez dubravka
murillo neco porro esteeve ?andersen
salah palmer bruno wirtz ?sarr
watkins/pedro ?shitter

[novel harbor]

nah im just going bsck to my 4-5-1

[novel harbor]

nope

[trail forum]

does algo have cheap mid

[novel harbor]

always ye

[trail forum]

yikes

[acoustic edge]

anderson op

[novel harbor]

anderson/tielemans

[trail forum]

lmaoo

[novel harbor]

which is just correct anyway

[trail forum]

no way andy going tiele

[trail forum]

shut up clanker

[novel harbor]

no anderson

if u dont have a cheap mid i fear for ur team structure ngl

[trail forum]

this is like a throwback to last season

algos ruined fpl

everyone thinks it solved 😭

[novel harbor]

no they dont

this has nothing to do with algos

[trail forum]

`ok stop thats cope

[novel harbor]

no it isnt

get off ur high horse

😭

u sound so cringe rn

[little delta]

by who

[trail forum]

do you think its a coincidence that the algo team is the exact same as what all the ccs are picking

like fr

[novel harbor]

noone said this

whatsoever

[wanton whale]

Indy

[little delta]

so bad

mostly wrong

[latent depot]

Going to Spurs to experience one season of UCL group stage and never again is wild

[acoustic edge]

it’s not algos in ISOLATION it’s the consequence of fpl content creators needing to make money by doing well at fpl resulting in them playing analytically (which has the highest average position when playing that way) which itself relies on algos lmfao

blame capitalism not algorithms bro

[wanton whale]

agreed, makes no sense

[novel harbor]

i like u

ur funny

and lowkey based

[trail forum]

its always capitalism

[blazing gazelle]

JSL on pens while Wolves dont get pens. Make it make sense

[acoustic edge]

not wrong there!

[waxen river]

New thread meta is communism?

[keen wren]

is he really on pens

[blazing gazelle]

Lol I have no idea

I dont get why A.I loves him so much

[latent depot]

Imagine if an AI team actually won FPL

[keen wren]

Jonas already did

[wanton whale]

i doubt JSL will even be on pens, should be arias

[blazing gazelle]

Jonas went AI + a couple of differentials

[acoustic edge]

AI gets u to the point where it’s just game theory

[novel harbor]

aka the natural trajectory of upwards of 70% of the player base

given how easily influenced humans are

lmao

[blazing gazelle]

FPL Review was pretty terrible last year.

[acoustic edge]

okay

[trail forum]

does fplreview have like an actual team

with a rank kinda thing

[blazing gazelle]

It was rank 2.5m and they gave up lol

[limber pine]

Stop the acting.

[trail forum]

?

[blazing gazelle]

It thought Palmer would do better

Than he did

[keen wren]

Facts

[latent depot]

So did most people tbh

[blazing gazelle]

Thing is, Ai does not give a fuck about captaincy. It swaps it around. And it bit review in the ass

[elder cargo]

Review sheeple shall get mudded again

[limber pine]

My bad, thought u was one of those

I was almost gonna give you the Oscar

[trail forum]

a what

lmao

[limber pine]

Bro acting again 😭😭

Oscar

Never heard about that?

[trail forum]

im acc lost

but sure

[limber pine]

I think 95% of people alive knows what that is.

[trail forum]

knows what review is ?

[limber pine]

The Oscar…

OSCAR

you can’t be that braindead man

[trail forum]

i am 😔

[wanton whale]

Poor from you Rallen

[limber pine]

I’m not falling into you’re stupid ragebait

[keen wren]

🤝

[trail forum]

[latent depot]

I'm 6/12 including 1st bench 👀

[cedar hull]

Someone send Andy's draft

Scrolled through a whole convo on it and still haven't seen it

[novel harbor]

r u still on watkins 4-5-1

or r u back on the potts bench draft

[latent depot]

Watkins 541

Neco is Anderson with higher ceiling, so 541

not on triple Everton tho

Sanchez allows KDH 1st bench

[novel harbor]

he most likely will pivot to the watkins version but still pmo

[supple steeple]

oooh

so thats why everyones taking Porro

its funny

[novel harbor]

no

well myb

[cedar hull]

If I put in a guess before I saw this I think I would have gone 15 for 15

[novel harbor]

outside of here

[novel harbor]

doubt

[supple steeple]

I see Harry just posted a vid, Rutter is in it

and now fpl chat is asking about Rutter

all of a sudden

@broken patio so ahead of the pack

[cedar hull]

Yeah you're right I wouldn't have got richards

[novel harbor]

[latent depot]

Brighton fix tho

[novel harbor]

its so sad ive been on a variant of it for 6 days and now that review/solio are coming round to a similar build its taking over

[latent depot]

every GW1 is the same

people converge to the same ideas

yes, there's some copying there, but plenty of people come to the same conclusions once they've put time into it

[cedar hull]

The first draft or the second

[novel harbor]

first

[latent depot]

my 5ATB has total EO of 30%

[novel harbor]

ik it annoys me still tho

all that effort and thought for it to just end up being template

[acoustic edge]

might just run haaland

ev bleed is obviously there but get lucky with variance and ur fine

[latent depot]

Shearer named Watkins to replace Isak, shut your whore mouth

[copper hinge]

@marsh palm

[cedar hull]

5.5 defenders are so low owned rn

[cedar hull]

New strat, just get lucky

I should try that

[acoustic edge]

gotta be these models somehow

[cedar hull]

Don't blame you

[little delta]

anderson or reijnders?

[acoustic edge]

should see my fploptimised graph from last szn

[cedar hull]

Variance baiting

[cedar hull]

Mine too

[lone thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/kiernan-dewsbury-hall-cfc-chelsea-fc-chelsea-football-club-gif-14448048379609878537

[cedar hull]

This is why I'm sticking with picks I've been shilling since the start + cbit defenders

Might as well die on the hill I created , prefer it to review sympathising

[slim bane]

Fplcord United as it stands

[cedar hull]

Like 4 picks off my team just end my life

[slim bane]

that bodes well for you

[twin ice]

Crystal Palace glazing, glad I quit

[lone thorn]

ffs, wanted them to pick KDH so we could get Milenk + Murill/VDV -> 5m

[slim bane]

Pool were just bad then?

[cedar hull]

[slim bane]

There’s still opening for changes

[twin ice]

whether they were or not isn't my issue, it's wasting the 6.5 mid spot on an utter purple patch merchant

[slim bane]

who else would you get at that price point tho

[waxen river]

He’s gonna say mitoma

[cedar hull]

Avoid the price point ig

Rogers is worth the 0.5, waiting for pressers

[little delta]

I completely forgot abt rogers

[lone thorn]

Anderson -> KDH
Sarr -> Rogers/Semnyo

[wanton whale]

rogers or evan/semenyo yh

[cedar hull]

Tat is confirmed mitoma lover?

[slim bane]

Mitoma is also a purple patch merchant

[cedar hull]

Lmao

[twin ice]

at least it happens at the start of the season

beside there's Rutter

[wanton whale]

brighton fixtures kinda mid

[cedar hull]

Brighton kinda mid

[sterile tree]

palace first 3 are mid too

[twin ice]

I don't see people loading up on Fulham defenders

[cedar hull]

I've seen loads of people saying brighton could get top5/6 this season, I really don't see it personally

[wanton whale]

they play fulham every week do they?

[lone thorn]

we should've got Munoz instead of Sarr actually

[cedar pine]

Wirtz Andersen Sarr Van de ven and Tarkowski are the only players not in my current draft

[wanton whale]

its possible depeding on how other teams around there do

[cedar hull]

I just don't see it, average attack and defence, Bournemouth/palace clear on both fronts

[twin ice]

Everton next...oh they played them in the first 2 gameweeks last season as well...let's see the data

[cedar pine]

problem with brighton as always is hitting the player who scores goals

[twin ice]

I'll be on Mitoma + Rutter, two most likely

[cedar pine]

thats a lot of investment

its fine picks, but watch welbeck get brightons first 3 goals

[wanton whale]

2 brighton attackers is mental

[cedar pine]

i dont think its mental

[cedar hull]

3 different goalscorers for Brighton

[wanton whale]

Rutter makes sense as hes cheap

whats the need for 2

[cedar pine]

i dont particularily think owning 1 impacts owning another

its mostly a mental thing where its gonna fucking suck owning Rutter + Mitoma if welbeck scores the goals

but if you owned Kudus + Rutter and welbeck scores goals and kudus doesnt, there's no difference in your team

[limber pine]

Welbeck not gonna play.

[wanton whale]

it is when its a team with no real talisman, goals could come from anyone

[cedar pine]

Yeah? He injured?

you would think this makes it better to own more than 1

[limber pine]

He started in the B-team last pre season game

[cedar pine]

I personally wouldnt feel comfortable making that conclusion

Brighton just has a A team thats a bigger size than 11 players

[twin ice]

fair enough chief, though let's check out Sarr

[latent depot]

in Jan under Moyes

[cedar hull]

Tat try not to overreact challenge impossible

[limber pine]

At least he won’t play first game. That’s pretty obvious. Welbeck is also injury prone as fuck, so he probably get injured anyway.

[cedar pine]

whether he does or not, not really the point

I could just as well have said Minteh

or whoever they are sticking in their attack

[twin ice]

why would a January match matter more than a match at the start of the season where the game is starting from? you lot do this all the time with Everton it's hilarious

[cedar pine]

because its different managers?

huhh

are you saying time of year is more important than who's managing?

[wanton whale]

Tat dug himself a hole here

[latent depot]

to be honest, neither result is particularly relevant to GW2, I just wanted to call out the absurdity of that suggestion

[cedar pine]

i dont even particularily think the "last years matchup" argument has any value anyway

its 1 game

[limber pine]

Another horrible take from TAT

[wanton whale]

just because a result played out last year does not mean it will happen again

[cedar pine]

like i dont particularily dislike the idea that you think Brighton will crush Everton

[cedar hull]

(I'm not a Liverpool fan)

[cedar pine]

moyes has said everton isnt ready for the season

[cedar hull]

Mentally sane reaction from tat there

[cedar pine]

so thats reason enough to say you think brighton will do well vs them

everton also missing branthwaite right?

[latent depot]

except Man City 5-0 Burnley

[cedar hull]

He's back, played in their last friendly

[twin ice]

just clocked, don't give a fuck about anyone's opinion who isn't an Arsenal fan

[cedar pine]

pog

[latent depot]

think City won 5-0 in 4 consecutive home games vs Burnley

[wanton whale]

pog

[little delta]

he back now which is v good

[twin ice]

and Beef if he's here

[cedar pine]

I dont know anyone who dislikes beef

[copper hinge]

You’re so tuff

[cedar pine]

understandable, its way better than chicken

[limber pine]

Fairs, semi-final champions league medal fans is insane

[wanton whale]

depends tbf

[cedar hull]

Just make sure you know I don't support a team next time 👍

[cedar pine]

that wasnt a question

[wanton whale]

chicken curry > beef curry

[twin ice]

doesn't make it wrong, you're just focused on bullshit to deflect

[cedar hull]

Steph curry >

[cedar hull]

I love how mentally sane you are man

[copper hinge]

I miss when this thread was informative and sane

[twin ice]

only Arsenal suck if first team players aren't available, grrrrrr8 take

[cedar hull]

I mean missing the entire point but okay

[limber pine]

Curry naan better 🫡

[cedar hull]

Zone 14 and horseshoe all I gotta say

Players or not

[cedar hull]

Arsenal fans smh

[latent depot]

thought you meant Brighton Everton

[wanton whale]

hey dont forget me

[lone thorn]

fh6🔒

[little delta]

anyone thought of getting haaland gw6 and wc7

[cedar hull]

You love mateta more than your own club your safe

[latent depot]

isn't there UCL between GW6 and 7? that fix is a trap for rotation

[wanton whale]

probably the only player im happy with in my team

[novel harbor]

is there anyone here who'll go with solanke if he gets 70+ tmr

[lone thorn]

ffs, true

[cedar hull]

Id consider it heavily yeah

[novel harbor]

why am i getting laughed at

[cedar hull]

And then realise he's getting injured gw2

Mateta clears

[novel harbor]

i agree for now

but i rly want solanke

[limber pine]

Show

Team

[novel harbor]

becuz burnley are so shit and spurs are so attacking

[lone thorn]

watch him play Traff, Lewis, Akanji, Ake, O'Reil, Nico, Kova, Gundo, Silva, Doku, Moush for burnley

[latent depot]

their CAMs are dead

Spurs Burnley prob 2-1

[wanton whale]

[twin ice]

Spurs 1-0

[latent depot]

OG VDV

[novel harbor]

spurs 5-0 porro assist + goal

solanke hatty

we will be there

[latent depot]

OG VDV from a Quilindschy Hartman cross

[limber pine]

VDV -> Andersen
Richards -> Dorgu

and you’re winning FPL

[novel harbor]

dorgu

[wanton whale]

Dorgu is interesting

[lone thorn]

who invited Dorgu

[twin ice]

what happened to the screenshot bro? if you're gonna be a weirdo stand by it

[wanton whale]

ill never forget vdvs goal vs burnley last season

or was it 2 seasons ago

[novel harbor]

the game where porro scored?

i remember

[wanton whale]

it was 2023 season

[novel harbor]

porro vs burnley = stonks

hasnt he scored against burnley like 3 times now

[cedar pine]

this is why we needed a new thread

[cedar hull]

Kick everyone out and let ayy choose who joins back

[wanton whale]

🤤

[cedar pine]

lmao you didnt even cap Gvardiol???

obvious cap

[wanton whale]

😭 my bad

bro got 2 goals 2 CS

[novel harbor]

nvm its 2 times

romero scored the one i was thinking

[cedar hull]

Fake bench boost was actually correct lol

[lone thorn]

the -4 is huge aura loss

[oak furnace]

Sounds like isak is coming to Liverpool

Gimme gimme gimme a striker from sweden
Pissed off all the Geordies
Now he plays for the Reds
Gimme gimme gimme a striker from sweden
At the point of our attack
His name is Alex Isak

[copper hinge]

Never too late

[oak furnace]

can't wait for my chant to go viral

[novel harbor]

fuck off are city getting donnarumma..

[wanton whale]

i know might edit it out

[oak furnace]

why the fuck do they need him

didn't they just get trafford

[copper hinge]

Anyone on a chip strategy yet?

[novel harbor]

ye a few i think

[copper hinge]

Why the fuck do they need him

Didn't they just get Ekitike

[oak furnace]

ekitike left wing

[copper hinge]

Wanna share?

[orchid plank]

palmer most owned on 57.2% jfc

[copper hinge]

I'm just trolling btw

[oak furnace]

i know

[novel harbor]

wc7 bb8 fh13

aka mcgrr plan

[oak furnace]

I was going along with it

what's so good about fh13

[novel harbor]

we will have arsenal

and chelsea

assets

to get rid of

[copper hinge]

TC 13/14?

[latent depot]

triple up on Arsenal/Chelsea, FH13 for Arsenal vs Chelsea, get City and Pool

[novel harbor]

no clue when i tc yet

imo the least stressful chip so im not bothered

[lone thorn]

sorry bro, this one's tougher🔥:

[oak furnace]

lmao

[copper hinge]

Hahahah

[supple steeple]

I cringed so hard I think my face is permanently altered

send help

[latent depot]

triple Arsenal from WC7, triple Chelsea by GW9, look at both teams' fixtures either side of FH13

[oak furnace]

Jwawo Pedro

that's nice tbh

probably better than fh3 for Liverpool Arsenal

[copper hinge]

Dont mind this, lpool, city, villa, bmouth good fixtures

[oak furnace]

I'm definitely on wc7

[latent depot]

why couldn't Everton just have shite opening fix so that I can ignore them

[oak furnace]

just trying to work out free hit

[cedar hull]

Just get tark and be done with it tbh

[oak furnace]

likely 3 or 13

tark and kdh

[copper hinge]

I swear they're better against good teams, not based on facts just from what I remember seeing

[lone thorn]

everton's midfield will get ran through unfortunately

[copper hinge]

What's the upsides with bb8? @latent depot @novel harbor

[cedar pine]

right after WC

with their plan

[latent depot]

GW8 is the best fixture remaining for Dubravka

[oak furnace]

Burnley play Leeds

steve and dubravka double up

[copper hinge]

Mhh

[latent depot]

low-key if Kinsky is starting by then, other GWs open up

[copper hinge]

bb9 doesnt look too bad either

[oak furnace]

I like bb2

because you have no idea what your team will look like by the wc7

[latent depot]

you do you, I'm set

[novel harbor]

idk, i think u do

[latent depot]

honestly less sure about my GW1 team than my WC7 team at the moment

[novel harbor]

literally

[copper hinge]

😂

[latent depot]

if Rogers is cleared fit at Friday presser, I'm probably making changes

Brentford presser is Saturday tho so RIP Kelleher/Dubravka owners

[oak furnace]

where do I find my team id

When is burnley presser

[latent depot]

day before they play

[oak furnace]

what's your wc7 draft look like

[latent depot]

I don't have it off the shelf, it's not hard tho

Saka/Palmer/no Salah

I just have it on a spreadsheet

[oak furnace]

Right

[wanton whale]

bro everyone nerd emojis me i cant take it 😔

[cedar hull]

Asensio back to villa kills Watkins pens chances

[novel harbor]

hes back at villa?

[wanton whale]

Could be

Fuck that guy tho

[zenith jolt]

Stop leaking the sauce

[novel harbor]

y

[latent depot]

good. I want Watkins winning pens, not taking them

[humble dust]

see what happened vs southampton last year

[cedar hull]

Linked

[novel harbor]

oh ye forgot about that lol

i didnt own him 🙏

[novel harbor]

oh thats good for villa actually

[blazing gazelle]

Any Solanke news?

[novel harbor]

bar the one i shared yday no i dont think so

this one

[lavish parcel]

Just hoping Isak and asensio deals doesn't happen until deadline day

Ruins my Watkins and Ekitike picks

[latent depot]

how does it ruin Watkins?

[lavish parcel]

Less involvement from him

Compared to him being alone if rogers is out

[novel harbor]

how involved was he when asensio and rogers played last season

[lavish parcel]

Good amount I'd say

Maybe I am taking it wrong

[little delta]

everyone wc7 now??

[lavish parcel]

Maybe it'll help him more

[hollow ermine]

Think he’s still fine tbh

Still had 16 goals despite bad run of form and reduced minutes while having asensio and rasheed leech pens

[lavish parcel]

That's insane

I might actually punt on Saka for gw1-2 over Watkins

[wanton whale]

missed 2 pens in one game

cost me 10k

[hollow ermine]

Even if he flops, he’s easy sell to whoever the next best striker is tbh, i won’t have to take hits or use 2 ft max

[lavish parcel]

Bring him in for gw4-5-6 and then WC

[cedar hull]

We both punted on him right omds

That killed me

[wanton whale]

worst day ever

[cedar hull]

Fuck asensio

[hollow ermine]

[wanton whale]

atleast he got the assist so he ended on 2

telling my kids he blanked 😔

[humble dust]

Fuck asensio

[novel harbor]

palmer at 57% makes me want to go to saka so badly

hes somehow gonna be so underwhelming

[humble bane]

Harry wilson nailed? 😦

[latent depot]

Sess injured, but still has competition from Adama

Hilson will start and get subbed at 75

[humble bane]

oh ok I'll stick with reindeer

[surreal ocean]

If i want .5 itb andersen to rodon? or sanchez to kelleher?

[lavish parcel]

Can't wait PSG to cook Spurs like Bayern did

[novel harbor]

what do u want it for just out of curiosity?

evanilson to 7.5?

[surreal ocean]

evan to 7.5 if one is a stand out or sarr to a 7m

maybe sarr to tielemans

pure review nonsense

[novel harbor]

nah with asensio going back

tielemans is dead

for sure

[latent depot]

can't wait for people to count CBITs

[novel harbor]

also review has preferred anderson for a while now 🙄

[surreal ocean]

i want to get to rogers come gw5

its just who is sacrificed

[novel harbor]

evanilson -> JSL 🔥

[lavish parcel]

I mean no point counting cbit when your asset gets booked and concedes 2 goals

[latent depot]

last time I checked 2 points > 0 points

[lavish parcel]

Warra 2 points

Spence and porro might get cbit but I don't think the CBs will

[surreal ocean]

its a shout

wolves not great at scoring though

[little delta]

is anyone fh6

[blazing gazelle]

442 feels so weird after all these years on 352

[surreal ocean]

ye

[surreal ocean]

terrible shout sorry

the .5 needs to be used on evan if necessary

so gotta take it from somewhere else

[little delta]

when wc?

[surreal ocean]

789 maybe

sanchez to petrovic probably

save farming

[novel harbor]

i thought this too until i realised that it doesnt

becuz of my own personal plan

(i was/am on 451 jsl too)

[surreal ocean]

and what do if a joao pedro just goes nuclear

[cedar pine]

you transfer him in

If you feel the need to take a hit if pedro scores 2 gw1 and evanilson scores 0

start with joao pedro

key part of FPL is knowing what you're gonna do if shit goes wrong

cause you wont get every decision correct

[broken patio]

Can't wait for them to all jump on Ayari next

[surreal ocean]

yeah im trying to find .5 in my draft to give me the freedom to move to rogers / jp if need be

in one move*

[trail forum]

OT but beef thoughts on baleba to united

is it at all possible

or do brighton want 100mil

[broken patio]

We want 100m

It's in brightons plans to sell Baleba of course, but ideally next summer

We're about to embark on a huge season where we should be definitely targeting Europe, the squad is as good as it's ever been, selling Baleba rn would absolutely suck, and it's not like we really have the time left to spend the funds either

Don't think it was ever brightons plan to sell this window, so you can understand us asking for a lot, especially given how much we sold caicedo for, and we view Baleba very similarly

[twin ice]

are you saying I should have Rutter and Ayari? because when it comes to picking another Brighton mid...

[broken patio]

I read that Brighton's stance is not for sale unless similar fee to what we sold caicedo for

(which is obviously way too much), but hey, man utd will probably pay it

[twin ice]

you're just gonna find the next big DM man

[broken patio]

We've already got Yalcouye waiting inline lmao

[twin ice]

Bissouma -> Caicedo -> Baleba, taking the fucking piss

[broken patio]

Gomez would play right now if we sold Baleba but Yalcouye is the future potential wonderkid DM

[broken patio]

Add MacAllister to that if you want too

[twin ice]

wouldn't really consider him a DM

[broken patio]

Valid

[broken patio]

And Yalcouye is next

[twin ice]

United should just buy him if they're smart but they've got the money burn so ig Baleba it is

[trail forum]

idk where this money is coming from but im all here for it

what about 50mil + hojlund

[broken patio]

No

[twin ice]

the greatest trick that football clubs ever did was make people believe their money didn't exist

[broken patio]

Can't buy picks for the future if you're man utd, everyone needs to be amazing right away otherwise fans will bully them out

[trail forum]

i was convinced that if united lost to spurs then they'd have about 20mil to spend

[supple steeple]

they are united ofc

can do as they please

rules do not apply

[twin ice]

TV money, matchday revenue, shirt sales, they will always have money

[pale tiger]

Solanke might be back

[twin ice]

this applies to every big 6 club btw

their owners would just have you think they are poor as an excuse not to spend money

[acoustic edge]

crosspost

[quick dawn]

solanke kneejerked back in yet?

[trail forum]

thats not the point of fplcord united tho

its actually the opposite

to get rid of individual bias

[acoustic edge]

the people want it

[trail forum]

and end up with the best sheep thought team from everyone here

[earnest torrent]

This suggestion message has Moody energy all over it

[prime plinth]

I hate the Bruno pick. Also me...

[zenith jolt]

i hate every midfielder above 6 million

[cerulean cape]

Didn't you have about 4 arguments with people about bruno being shit

[prime plinth]

I said I hate the fixtures. As fh4. Maybe not so much

Also wirtz is covered by fh4 so he's less valuable to my draft

[latent depot]

ok I think I'm set

[novel harbor]

i keep to my plan? ive never been one to knee jerk a forward in after 3-4 gw's

[zenith jolt]

Do we think the 332 messages in analytics discord in the last week played a role in this decision

[prime plinth]

No

[novel harbor]

literally

[prime plinth]

I've only done that to pass time. Too tired after work to do much else atm lol

[latent depot]

when's Bradley back? I'm on Frimpong now

[novel harbor]

im off him now

apparently bradley's injury isnt serious

and he'll be back within a few gw's

[cedar hull]

few weeks max i think

[cerulean cape]

JP can go nuclear. But I'm happy to back against the player with 12 non pen prem goals in his career

Jackson was ridiculed for scoring 14 in one season

[cedar hull]

jp scored 5 goals from 7 shots for chelsea btw, lets see if he keeps that up ( he will)

[prime plinth]

Maybe Bruno to reijnders is worth it to get salah back

[cedar hull]

need rogers/kluivert news

[latent depot]

Chris Wood could never

[novel harbor]

i cant wait for like gittens to be the breakout and jp to get forgotten

and become a meme next season

[cerulean cape]

Wood has scored more gotm contenders than JP has in goals

[prime plinth]

Joao Pedro is a trap

[cedar hull]

i think jp will do fine

but not exceptional

[prime plinth]

He could do well but his volume and minutes are not it

He has to over perform at 7.5m as a fwd

[cerulean cape]

JP scoring 2/3 from first 3 isn't surprising. But overall he'll barely break 10 goals

That's my hot take of the year

[prime plinth]

Semenyo is 7m and takes 3+ shots a game and is nailed

I think he's a better pick as an example

[latent depot]

Semenyo took 10 shots vs Liverpool last season

[cedar hull]

did he almost get 0.4 xg?

[prime plinth]

What happened to not overreacting to preseason

[novel harbor]

fpl picks based off shots and sot!? is this 2018

[latent depot]

0.8 tbf

[cerulean cape]

I wanna say same joke with 0.1xG

[cedar hull]

do it, it will be funnier since youre a mod and im a lowly helper

[novel harbor]

when solanke gets 90 mins tmr joao pedro will be old news

[cedar hull]

what we on about here

[latent depot]

I was wrong, 0.8 was just one game, 0.47 in the other game

[novel harbor]

im captaining porro gw1

[prime plinth]

Joao pedro

[novel harbor]

[latent depot]

Bournemouth should have scored in both games vs Pool

[novel harbor]

shoulda coulda woulda

[prime plinth]

Vvd was tempting but I'd prefer gab now if any of those

[blazing gazelle]

If captaincy was not a thing I’d be all over this draft

[prime plinth]

More chance arsenal is the far and away best defense with Liverpool new team

[zenith jolt]

palmer cap 1 saka 2 bruno 4

calma

[novel harbor]

saka cap

[prime plinth]

We done with Palah

How many open play goals does salah have in 2025?

[novel harbor]

saka lower ceiling than gakpo btw

[latent depot]

Solio doesn't like Everton's CS %

[zenith jolt]

this gakpo glaze in this thread has to fucking stop

[novel harbor]

just increase it thats what i did ive just been importing my own projections in

[blazing gazelle]

And then free hit 4

[novel harbor]

thats what the tool is intended for

the market can only account for so much

[prime plinth]

I mean as a mid he'd avg over 5 ppm

At least i think

[novel harbor]

otherwise it will start glazing gudmondsson 😭

[novel harbor]

[novel harbor]

he does tho

[prime plinth]

So basically unless salah scores 270 pts again. Palmer clears

[zenith jolt]

why do all of your emotes have to bounce up and down

[latent depot]

Salah out on WC7

[novel harbor]

LMAO

[prime plinth]

Yeah salah is not needed 8-12. Better to bb and rotate palmer saka captain vs promoted teams

One might be vs wolves or something

The reason I'm not sure about salah is just the fact he has 3 good fixtures. And fh4 covers both palace and pool best fixture

[novel harbor]

grealish at 6.5 is interesting..

[prime plinth]

3 in 7 he is probably best captain. I don't see it being worth 14.5m as fh4. Problem is. Salah can/will do well regardless

[blazing gazelle]

You going without him and Haaland?

[latent depot]

FH13 is clear

[prime plinth]

First 7 looks good as fh4 wc8 for bruno

[prime plinth]

What is the postive of that

Probably bring in haaland around then anyway

[latent depot]

WC7 into triple Arsenal, triple Chelsea by GW9, look at the fixtures either side of FH13. FH13 triple up on Liverpool/City

[prime plinth]

Fair. I will never go triple Chelsea with how maresca sets up

[latent depot]

minimum Cucu/Palmer and you're set

[prime plinth]

I'm lying. I'll probably have 2-3. Fh is fair. Fh4 no salah has some benefits as well

Cover palace and pool with other good options

Save 4m in the other 6 gws to try gain pts on salah drafts

[lone glade]

best 7.5mid bar rogers

[latent depot]

Ben Crellin is on Porro/Romero double up wtf

[little delta]

what’s his team

[novel harbor]

eze

oh wait

hes gone now

[novel harbor]

review

[latent depot]

wait, done deal?

[novel harbor]

no

but seems likely

[novel harbor]

also rogers isnt 7.5

[lone glade]

ok

[elder cargo]

Eze at Spurs will definitely be of interest.

[cedar hull]

might even be on pens

[elder cargo]

He has a chance yeah

Not as good of a record as Solanke but might share them still

[slim bane]

with that stutter run up?

[cedar hull]

he was making sure mateta gets pens for me ofc

[blazing gazelle]

I kinda hate Ben Crellins draft, which is worrying since he is better than all of us

[cedar hull]

he never seems to have a good draft tbh, always does well though

imo good players dont have good drafts but just make good decisions

[surreal ocean]

bruno (c) gw3 and i will be 179 itw

[blazing gazelle]

Show draft

[cedar hull]

behind 178 analcord players

[broken patio]

Wait eze to spurs would be bad for porro right?

As he'd take set pieces

[cedar hull]

yeah ig

[broken patio]

:(((((

[cedar hull]

you should be on neco and andersen anyway beef, its superior

[broken patio]

Maybe

[surreal ocean]

its thread template plus bruno + evanilson

[surreal ocean]

this is so good

anti review review user

[broken patio]

@cedar hull Wait

I can just straight swap porro for Rutter

352 it

[cedar hull]

i thought you would have tried that

i thought about it but dont like 6m/5.5 mids

[broken patio]

I know it's against the trend of this thread but I've been thinking more and more about a 3atb, just in terms of squad balance and price points

[cedar hull]

do it

get your boy in

[broken patio]

Yeah

Need to make this look aesthetic but I kinda like it

[cedar hull]

not even aesthetic

[surreal ocean]

451 is the least aesthetic formation itg. maybe other than 523

[cedar hull]

451 is more aesthetic than 352 due to symmetry

2 strikers fucks up the odd numbered 3 and 5

peak thread discussion

[surreal ocean]

442 clearly the best we can all agree

[latent depot]

I like 1 mid at 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 10, 10.5, and 14.5, and 2 at 7. That's all

[surreal ocean]

genuinely trying to find a reason to move to 442 because its more relaxing to look at

[humble bane]

gone 24 hours without changing my team....

rutter is a lock if o riley goes

[novel harbor]

i like arias and anderson and that’s about it now. i like them for complete opposite reasons tho

[novel harbor]

451 is so sexy wdym

[cedar hull]

yeah theyre fine i just dont like them

[surreal ocean]

wheres o riley going? they signed him a year ago?

[cedar hull]

think there was interest from italy but not sure

[zenith jolt]

If people filtered Anderson's points for only his starts at CM/DM, they'd be whelmed

[novel harbor]

forest one of the only teams other than maybe brighton that actually seem to change their team roles up for certain fixtures

[humble dust]

and brentford last year

[novel harbor]

from what i remember last year a lot of fotmob lineups for forest were notoriously wrong becuz of how much nuno kept switching things up

if ur in the sports betting world u may remember

[humble bane]

haaland draft lowk cooks tbf

and it's an easy switch to Isak

nvm...

back to Salah

[barren geyser]

or have both

why you skull emoji its the best tactic

[humble bane]

I'd have to kill like 6 of my players for that

sadly haadisneyland is not worth sacrificing wirtz or cold palmer

[barren geyser]

sacrificing wirtz doesnt seem that bad to me imo

[humble bane]

not just wirtz you'd have to sacrifice two

so two of:

• wirtz
• palmer
• watkins

or similar price range players like saka/gyok

[barren geyser]

i sacrificed palmer for my draft

[humble bane]

wirtz passed my eye test so far

[barren geyser]

i dont think he'll do great for the first part

[humble bane]

he got 4 g/a in preseason tbf

When Isak joins it's gameover and wirtz becomes essential

[barren geyser]

haaland is also just an enabler for me
if he does bad then i can just remove for another better asset

[humble bane]

haaland + salah blocks the rest of the team

no more 8-10m players

[barren geyser]

got watkins too

[humble bane]

and theres too many good ones

[barren geyser]

ill just show for you

[humble bane]

fairs not too smelly tbf

[barren geyser]

thanks i suppose

[humble bane]

i fear cold palmer and flowirtz so i could never

[barren geyser]

if palmer does good then i can simply downgrade haaland

if haaland also does bad*

or watkins perhaps

[humble bane]

#fpl_polls message :D

[broken patio]

I've grouped the colours now @cedar hull

[cedar hull]

Still wrong smh

Palace have blue and red kits and you haven't used them in the transition between your blue players and red players

[trail forum]

also then watkins in the maroon purple top would be directly below two red and blue mix jerseys

and what do you get when you mix red and blue

purple maroon

[broken patio]

Aight lemme try it

Here you go

Sarr could go ngl

[cedar hull]

This is so beta

[broken patio]

Big at the back in shambles unless you double double on forest and Everton

Double forest+tark 3atb might be a motive

[broken patio]

I might end up with this team FFS

Andersen to 4.0, Anderson to Rutter though

Wyd if Rogers ded though?

I guess you could just get Pedro instead

[cedar hull]

Idk haven't thought that far

[broken patio]

I meant wyd not wtf whoopsie

Didn't meant to insult your draft

Palace don't even have any other cbs if they lose guehi wtf

Same with eze

They already only have like 17 players, they're gonna get fucked

Plus 2 conference league games before gw3

[cedar hull]

watkins to evanilson if kluivert out ig upgrade rogers

[broken patio]

Fplchat actually causes cancer to my braincells

[broken patio]

Watkins to evanilson gives you Rogers to Bruno/Marmoush O_o

[elder cargo]

Indeed

[hollow ermine]

Mudryk🕊️

[hollow ermine]

I can’t convince myself to own assets from there bar lacroix

And I’m considering benching him for ayari anyway

[blazing gazelle]

Haaland Watkins Rutter or Haaland Solanke Gakpo?

[hollow ermine]

1

[blazing gazelle]

aight, then my entire pool coverage is wirtz

Or I just drop Bruno…

[hollow ermine]

Replace Solanke with another 7.5 and I’ll probably say 2

Solanke in isolation is just bad

[latent depot]

oh shit, just had a thought... if I have Guehi on the bench and he goes to Liverpool, I'll have 4x Liverpool. I don't need a transfer until WC7

[cedar hull]

its not like he will start tho

[latent depot]

if he stays at Palace, I still have cover GW4 to bench a Forest defender

[blazing gazelle]

Is this a decent team guys?

[cerulean cape]

may need one draft reserve

in 30 mins

[latent depot]

wtf, Focal also on double Spurs defence, what's going on
