[cedar hull]

should have had a pen too

[elder cargo]

Serious goon power between the two of them up top

[cedar hull]

chelsea buying the league smh

[modern vector]

mateta should've had a red too

[cedar hull]

biggest schlongs in the league tbf

[wanton whale]

dont act like they look promising

[elder cargo]

Villa, Sunderland bring me the money Thiago

[cedar hull]

yeah but we ignore that duh

first one wasnt a yellow anyway

[elder cargo]

One game + see previous reasoning 👍

Not sure what you expect

[wanton whale]

anyways thoughts on a -4 to take bowen and awb out?

[wanton whale]

brace every week minimum

[cedar hull]

people actually got whu assets

[keen wren]

Damsgaard returning and Dango coming soon will boost their attack a lot

[cedar hull]

i cant wait to buy dango

[elder cargo]

You should bring in another differential of yours. Someone niche like Haaland

[keen wren]

Carvalho and klp on the wings last game

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/enriquecamposc-gif-23156265

[elder cargo]

Damsgoat

[modern vector]

It surely won't leave Thiago on the bench

[hallow anchor]

I went Rogers over Reijnders because I sold Bruno and had some extra cash to play with

MUG

[cedar hull]

dango only played striker because bournemouths best player is in his spot tbf

hes a natural winger

[wanton whale]

my point was i was high on reijndeers before he became popular

[modern vector]

Dango won't be the one at striker

[keen wren]

Yes dango the winger will play striker when brentford have no rw

[cedar hull]

who will then

mf schade

[modern vector]

Schade or Wissa who was just told he's not leaving

[keen wren]

schade thiago dango easy

[copper hinge]

My mate said he can sell reijndeers for 5.6? Is he bugging

[elder cargo]

Clearly not following the developments today, Wissa isn’t starting for at least a few games lol

And why would Schade start there when their record signing who is a striker exists?

What a weird angle to take

[cedar hull]

record signing is now dango

my goat

[wanton whale]

its a glitch

[modern vector]

The developments today are that he deleted his social media involving brentford out of desperation because they told him he's staying and doubled his price tag

[elder cargo]

Thiago is 0.5 EO we can do without you trying to develop an agenda to pray on his downfall

[copper hinge]

Ah okay

[modern vector]

Not praying on his downfall 😭

[keen wren]

Mfs will do anything to discredit players they don't own

[wanton whale]

if only raptor went thiago

[modern vector]

If anything I hope he starts after being injured for so long

[elder cargo]

This is better

Thanks

[orchid plank]

Or Mayenda

[cedar hull]

vrawn are you real

[elder cargo]

He will continue to start. If Wissa comes back to the fold fair enough but he’s not about to start when he’s in Isak mode right now.

[wanton whale]

either way thiago could play lw no?

[orchid plank]

He deserved more but unlucky he was subbed off

[cedar hull]

gotta be the only job where you can refuse to do it and still get paid

[elder cargo]

when are regular joes getting this method

Need that

[keen wren]

yes Mayenda was unlucky to not go 90 when they have 3 strikers

[orchid plank]

should’ve had a brace by the first half but games the game

move onto burnley in gw2

[wanton whale]

and then sell?

[orchid plank]

yes with Saka

[wanton whale]

Saka is worrying me icl did not look himself

[cedar hull]

people went arsenal attack

[orchid plank]

the whole team was awful

[wanton whale]

i shouldve gone calafiori man

[wanton whale]

ode was decent

but yeah we were pretty dog

[keen wren]

We always play like this at Old Trafford idk why ppl are surprised

[cedar hull]

could have just ended the sentence at this

[wanton whale]

ez shithouse corner fc haram ball

[cedar hull]

been about 3 years since i enjoyed watching an arsenal game ngl

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/declan-rice-rice-arsenal-tiro-libre-free-kick-gif-12185376802480793648

[cedar hull]

in the league i meant

that game was a banger tho

[wanton whale]

yeah you arent wrong

same with city tbf

[cedar hull]

like full respect its not an agenda, just dont like how you play

22/23 was good

city havent been that enjoyable since treble either

[modern vector]

Reijnders tearing up wolves was pretty fun ngl

[elder cargo]

Saka captaincy for a demolition job against Leeds

[wanton whale]

when we were scoring 5 in one half against burnley and sheffield that was fun

[cedar hull]

its just such a stale attack rn

and its not the players

[modern vector]

saka and palmer gonna end these stats about not scoring open play goals since january/november or whatever this weekend

[cedar hull]

hopefully yeah

think this season will be good though

[wanton whale]

actually sick of palmer if he blanks next week

[cedar hull]

city will definitely be more exciting

hopefully maresca returns to palmer fc tactics

arsenal might improve aesthetically idk

arteta seems to have become to focused on control

[keen wren]

no idea why Maresca keeps playing Palmer on the left in the league

horrible for fpl anyway

[cedar hull]

yeah it makes no sense to me

[zealous forum]

He's not playing on the left

[twin ice]

Maresca seems like he enjoys sniffing his own farts and thinks he's the one responsible for Chelsea being good and not Palmer

[keen wren]

not on the left wing

but he's clearly not playing the same position as a couple of seasons ago

[zealous forum]

If he played slightly left at times yesterday it was to try and capitalise on Munoz being advanced - it's obviously a sensible tactic given Mitchell is a much better defender on the right

[twin ice]

overthinking it, play your best player from his best position

[keen wren]

Well we also saw this throughout the end of last season

[modern vector]

I think Palmer is best on the right so that he actually has space when he drifts into the middle

like against psg

[wanton whale]

Swear palmer was central?

Either way the space psg gave him he will rarely get in the the league

[rugged meteor]

Was convinced he was a trap for weeks, then fell head over heels given fixtures

[modern vector]

you think that because he cut in to take his shots with his left foot

That's the advantage of playing on the right and not being man marked in the centre all game

[rugged meteor]

my analysis too, in the middle he gets clusterfucked, cant be as mazy and less opportunity for him to use his best ability which is his finishing

[wanton whale]

PSG game him way too much space anyways

[modern vector]

definitely

[wanton whale]

No prem team allows that

[modern vector]

can't play psg every week unfortunately for him

[wanton whale]

Sounds stupid but yeah

[lavish parcel]

I am really confident on the Everton cs tonight

Pls Tark get those DC points

[novel harbor]

i wonder who grealish comes on for

[lone thorn]

i'ma say Ndiaye

[modern vector]

everton fans think alcaraz

[supple steeple]

yeah prob

not a fan of him at all

idk what Moyes sees in him over McNeil

[lavish parcel]

Beto ahead of Barry, Leeds cs locked ngl

[cedar hull]

I mean it's first game

[obtuse shoal]

Barry gonna score as a sub.

[lavish parcel]

No he's not ( my Tark cs)

Wait nvm

He plays for Everton

I got it confused

He can score

Leeds cannot score tonight

I thought I had rodon

[modern vector]

better not see a pickford cs

he was in the team that AI suggested was the best for the first 6 gw's and the rest of the players in it did pretty well already

[humble bane]

"dan james" yhh leeds are going down

[novel harbor]

nah they’re defo staying up

[hollow ermine]

Insane bait

(I own none)

[fleet oracle]

Tark on 6 Dcon already?

[supple steeple]

probably

all everton players are prob 5+

this is awful

[stone perch]

Why did I opt for an Everton pen taker when penalties are super scarce for that club

Especially when Kudus exists

[hollow ermine]

Tark on 9

Big at the back never died man

I’ve fucked it royally

[lone thorn]

Tark owners, i apologise

[quick dawn]

i knew this game would be 0-0

[cedar hull]

see you next season

[lone thorn]

for absolutely nothing

[quick dawn]

ok lol

[cedar hull]

3 clean sheets wiped from pens this gw

[tardy cradle]

[cedar hull]

dont know how thats a pen tbh

[elder cargo]

Everton wipe is colddddd

[cedar hull]

come on man i let you have thiago can you not let me have this

[marsh palm]

63 points excluding 12 points wiped off of questionable pen calls

We take those

Should’ve been 75 tho

[cedar hull]

42 points warra gw

fpl is back 😍

[broken patio]

Ha, suck shit, I beat you, what a shit amount of points 42 is, imagine being that bad
I got 43

[cerulean cape]

Rodon yesss

[keen wren]

If only someone told us Ndiaye was shit

Rodon massive points

[modern vector]

Nmecha only got one off the bench

sad

[cerulean cape]

Rodon outscoring my 3 forest defs

[modern vector]

Gudmundsson owners cooked

[cerulean cape]

Take 7 from rodon

[lavish parcel]

Rip my Tark cs

Almost had it

Nothing we can do about pens

[cedar hull]

beat me by a mateta yellow card

[valid river]

Same here goat

[cerulean cape]

I played him

Did you

[valid river]

So unlucky for no CS

[lavish parcel]

59 is still solid

[valid river]

No I didn't

[keen wren]

79 all out Rodon 🐐

[lavish parcel]

Fair play

[cerulean cape]

Tark owners should be happy

Got dc

[valid river]

Only 2 of my players returned :)

Haaland and rutter

[modern vector]

tbf Tark is supposed to get defcons most weeks

[valid river]

I'm on 50

I'm cooked

[modern vector]

actually kinda makes me want tark

[cerulean cape]

?

What changed from before season lol

[modern vector]

no I mean later

[cerulean cape]

Tark was always getting dc before

[modern vector]

Because right now other teams have good chances of multiple clean sheets

[waxen river]

Tarkowski my saviour

1 point above last in my mini league

[cerulean cape]

Rodon cs made me above team anal

[hallow anchor]

Tark getting weekly 4 pointers with the occasional 10 is kinda fire ngl

[modern vector]

probably scores against Brighton too

[cedar hull]

yeah he gets dc against brighton

[slim bane]

What’s worse than paying 5M for sels and getting cs wiped by a shite pen?

paying 5.5M for Pickford

[cedar hull]

2 defcons in 2gws = one blank and one cs

[lone thorn]

Stach 5m could be nice lowkey

[cedar hull]

yeah he had good cbit in bundesliga iirc

him and wieffer best 5.0 imo

[lone thorn]

yh, my german friend who binges bundesliga rates him highly and has him in team

[elder cargo]

Sorry king

[marsh palm]

fpl is truly back

12 points wiped from cs and bruno missed out on potentially 7 points from dc and the missed pen call

would’ve been at 82 😔

[stone perch]

Warra Kudus vs Ndiaye pick

Luckily, Spurs have City next therefore getting him now is knee jerky

[hallow anchor]

Would have most likely got 3 bonus

Unless Raya saves for an absolute gigahaul

[marsh palm]

so would’ve been at 85 😭😭😭

[slim bane]

What a shite week

[wanton whale]

Sanchez 1 bonus ez

Benched my Leeds defender tho

Can’t complain at a Everton wipe tbh

[hallow anchor]

The FPL site is made with AI now so they are giving the AI team goalie a random extra point for no reason

[wanton whale]

Sanchez was the best 5m

[lone thorn]

was that a late bps added?

[lavish parcel]

How did your gw1 go guys?

[wanton whale]

Ye

[lone thorn]

i hate this late bps var shit

[wanton whale]

Just own the players the cc have

[valid river]

Is 50 good

:)

[modern vector]

no

but it's also not bad

[lone thorn]

is 77 good

sorry

[cedar hull]

[cerulean cape]

Ahead of anal

[hollow ermine]

Do we genuinely think writz is bags in the first 5 6 weeks

[humble bane]

if we're scoring 4 goals a game it's only a matter of time before wirtz starts farming g/a

cant say the same about certain teams who cant score much 😦

wirtz = best player in 7-11m range sadly

[modern vector]

he's not even the best liverpool player in that rage 💀

[hollow ermine]

Bruh

[oak furnace]

i ended up with 50

such a shit week

rodon on my bench outscored half my team

[hollow acorn]

gotta set up my team for next gw as im on a cruise. vdv or awb? start rogers adingra or reindeers?

[trail forum]

kinda bad results wise

but not a disaster in terms of choices

[lone thorn]

VDV + Rogers

[olive flame]

So that's u on top of this league

I'm no.2 btw just saying 👍

[hollow acorn]

Yea. This is what im going to go with. Konsa being suspended 1GW isnt the end of the world

[hollow acorn]

Nice. Definitely my best start to a season ever

[olive flame]

What rank u at

[hollow acorn]

I definitely wont be able to keep it up. I will falter, trust me lol

6176 OR

[olive flame]

Crazy

I'm royally fucked for gw2 tho

[hollow acorn]

Whys that?

[hollow acorn]

Lol yea i saw that.

[olive flame]

Gotta take a hit in gw2 ffs

Tosin better be fit on Friday

[slim bane]

Am I bottom of this threads league

[valid river]

Bench boost 2 gang 🔥😼

[slim bane]

Wouldn’t be surprised

[valid river]

How many points

[slim bane]

48

oof

[valid river]

I'm 50

But triple Burnley defense for this week

[slim bane]

🔥

I have double Burnley double forest

Or single Burnley triple forest

I do have mateta tho

Surelyyyyyyy if I lose the cs this week MATETA makes up for it

Else ima go and WC3 cos else I’ll be tanking TV

[oak furnace]

mateta better score this week

[valid river]

Triple Burnley, triple forest

🔥🔥

All def

[oak furnace]

The guy top of our league got 97

insane

[lone thorn]

bb

[hollow acorn]

Yea i BB gw1

I even posted it in here.. glad i went for roef instead of dubravka

[silent jasper]

I am 2nd from the bottom bro, can't be as bad me

9M rank to start the season

[sterile tree]

didn't know this thread has a league

[oak furnace]

Nice

[jolly solstice]

Every ai site saying start dubravka and esteve ahead of porro and sanchez

I'm not falling for that

[oak furnace]

inb4 they outscore them

[valid river]

I'm top 6m guys

If only we didn't concede

[oak furnace]

yeh double forest defence hurt so much

i couldn't imagine triple

[oak furnace]

apparently jsl linked to Newcastle

[broken patio]

It's whatever, we're not going to get a clean every week, the fix are good and we picked them for a reason, keep the faith

[cedar pine]

milenkovic only gang

[oak furnace]

yeh I'm not getting rid yet

[wanton whale]

So there’s almost 5000 people who just copy fpl Harry’s exact team

[violet temple]

Or harry has copied the same team 4999 others have copied 👀

[novel harbor]

[cedar hull]

I doubt many teams would have paqueta tbf

[obtuse shoal]

This just means people don't believe in you. At least for me 9 people decided to copy me, cause I'm clearly good at it. 👀

[novel harbor]

they dont know ball obviously

[novel harbor]

[twin ice]

Forest and Everton CS wipes are feeding generations

[wanton whale]

wtf gudmundsson got 3 bps on my bench

[elder cargo]

Copying a CC team is the lowest form of playing the game

[wanton whale]

its not even playing the game, they go on his deadline streams and copy his exact moves throughout the season

[tardy cradle]

thats why I copy fplcord

[obtuse shoal]

imagine doing that... @acoustic edge

[wanton whale]

im tempted to start vdv and hope for dc

6 against burnley isnt terrible

[cedar pine]

Kind of surprised, i consider my team pretty template

[wanton whale]

ive got 3 clones damn

[cedar pine]

my least owned players are mateta (10%) and Milenkovic (16%)

7 of my starting 11 is at 50% or higher

[jolly solstice]

Wtf I have 31 clones

Oh it's just starting xi + cap

[violet temple]

0 clones probably cuz I have kilman

And thiago marmoush

[wanton whale]

marmoush

[cedar hull]

Wish the clones did only your starting 11 or smth, different 4.0 is considered a different team

Also bear in mind it's top 1 million, so if youre outside that OR then you won't have any clones

[wanton whale]

think most are below 1m tbf

so many bb in play

[lone glade]

Finished on 55 points

Not bad

[obtuse shoal]

Could be better

[wanton whale]

considering this week it isnt no

[limber pine]

I’m 500k without BB 😈

[lone glade]

I’d get 100 points and it could be better

[wanton whale]

cold

[violet temple]

I'm 5m without a bb levelssss

[lone glade]

I’m cooking in la liga

[violet temple]

No ur not

[lone glade]

affen 6 points my g

[wanton whale]

im making my comeback bro

[lone glade]

Look at my team value

[violet temple]

It's low ik

[lone glade]

6th place ain’t bad in a 13 people league

[marsh palm]

inb4 final or 6m

[lone glade]

and it’s gw1

also how much money am I gonna get

👀

[violet temple]

There can only be one first place at the end of the day and that is mine unfortunate

[violet temple]

4.7m

[lone glade]

cold

[limber pine]

Wdym

[violet temple]

let's not flood this thread with La Liga fantasy tho...

[limber pine]

You never sent ur gw1 team

Send it

[lone glade]

go find it

[marsh palm]

what i wrote speaks for itself

inb4 your final ranking is 6m

meanwhile top 2m here

[limber pine]

That I’m gonna end 6 million?

[limber pine]

Reijnders cold

[marsh palm]

jokes ruined

[violet temple]

sigve they don't know ur prime

[limber pine]

My bad

[limber pine]

😭😭 nothing is like smooth prime man

[cerulean cape]

Who's the Leeds cb named Joe?

[marsh palm]

you’re haaland 4-5-1 too right

[elder cargo]

Mama?

[cerulean cape]

Rodon deez nuts 7 pointer baby

[wanton whale]

gudmundsson clear

[elder cargo]

Even an additional 7 points would not have made my week good

[wanton whale]

but i didnt even want his points

[elder cargo]

We like room to improve 🔥

[limber pine]

Just the first gw

Now we have JSL in play

[wanton whale]

theres nothing better than a 4m green arrow in gw2

[marsh palm]

haaland 4-5-1

[elder cargo]

I think GW4 last season I was 4.5M so not deeping too much until WC1

[limber pine]

WC13 gang?

[elder cargo]

7 or 8 for me

[wanton whale]

im going big at the back on wc

[elder cargo]

Pause

[cedar hull]

Gw15 is when ranks normalise fwiw

[wanton whale]

Mbeumo locked 😈

[marsh palm]

*cunha

[cedar hull]

Bench is still social distancing like it's 2020 bro

[wanton whale]

no im making a joke

[marsh palm]

waiting for the 17 to release

otherwise i cba to get a new phone

[wanton whale]

yeah why is it so compact lol

[marsh palm]

idk ipad layout is weird

not on my pc

[cedar hull]

Can you make it portrait?

[marsh palm]

still just as compact fwiw

[limber pine]

Bro praying for a Tarkowski clean sheet against Rutter.

Rest

[marsh palm]

?

its happening

not gonna have a 12 point swing like we did gw1

to be fair it’s more like a 22 point swing

bruno should’ve had 12

fpl and var gave me 5 with sanchez tho 🙏

[limber pine]

Bro did not watch yesterdays game

[cedar hull]

If I wanna cope I should have had 3 cleans and 2 pens this gw

[elder cargo]

Rutter is dropping major points next GW

[marsh palm]

i actually didn’t how bad did they look

[violet temple]

indeed

[marsh palm]

apparently tark was good but gave up the pen

[violet temple]

Him and thiago the 6m gems

[limber pine]

0 attempts in first half, and 0 touches in Leeds box in first half

That’s how bad they looked

Leeds was actually all over them

[marsh palm]

ouch

didn’t know that affected tark all of a sudden

[cedar hull]

Leeds and Sunderland to stay up, wolves and west ham to go down

[limber pine]

This backline doesn’t help

Rock solid 🔥🔥🔥

[marsh palm]

branth injury hurts but i wanted a heavy midfield

[cedar hull]

Garner was lb no?

[limber pine]

Yh

But still

[marsh palm]

tark is still the focal point of the team let alone the defence so

could go munoz for him but will probably roll fts for now

[limber pine]

And Myko

[cedar hull]

Tark is still a good pick, 2 4 pointers is the same as one blank and a clean sheet

He will tick over for sure

[marsh palm]

tbf i think they were good enough off with branth and no myko

[marsh palm]

yea but i already have that type of floor in bruno

dont really have ceiling plays barring porro and i guess gakpo

[cedar hull]

High floor > high ceiling

Unless it's captaincy

[marsh palm]

but it’s boring

[limber pine]

Slot have said they definitely gonna sign an attacker or two, would be a concern long term for me

[marsh palm]

gakpo is nailed

for now

[cedar hull]

Chiesa is staying

[limber pine]

For now Yh

[cedar hull]

So probably not a lw now

[marsh palm]

like i wasn’t worried before the season started im not worried now

[cedar hull]

So it's isak or nothing

[marsh palm]

i wont be worried until isak is official

[limber pine]

What if they sign Isak and another one?

[marsh palm]

they wont

chiesa just said he intends to stay

[limber pine]

He said they lost Darwin, Luis Diaz and Jota

So it’s like normal that they need 1-2 attackers

[marsh palm]

yea that was said with the assumption chiesa wasn’t staying

it really is isak or nothing

[cedar hull]

Guehi and isak probably final business

[marsh palm]

yea and until then ill have gakpo come along for the ride

[cedar hull]

They can't afford to get another attacker on top of that

[marsh palm]

by far the best value on this liverpool attack

[cedar hull]

But gakpo will average 70 or smth which is nothing new

[limber pine]

Unfortunately not many clubs in the world is as well ran as Liverpool, so we never know

[marsh palm]

especially when like 85% of their attacks came from the left

also why im not scared about wirtz

[limber pine]

Id assume that was to target smith tho 😭😭

[marsh palm]

probably more scared of rogers (just from what ive heard) and even more so palmer

[cedar hull]

If they get another attacker it would be like a young prospect rather than first choice

[limber pine]

What’s going on with Rogers

[cerulean cape]

villa score 5 to make up for newcastle anyway

[marsh palm]

we’ll see what they do next week

[marsh palm]

have no idea

[cedar hull]

It was the whole team tbf

[marsh palm]

rogers and palmer free up 17.5m so these r make it or break it weeks for me imo

2 very favourable fixtures for both

i expect returns

[limber pine]

I just had an awful feeling on Villa, so didn’t pick anyone from there

[marsh palm]

whereas i didn’t last week

[cedar hull]

Yeah I didn't like villa much either, chose not to go Watkins in the end, but went rogers

[marsh palm]

did u watch the villa game

how bad was villa as a whole

eddie howe seems to have emerys number

[limber pine]

Newcastle was pretty good. It just Villa never accepted their chances when they had the opportunity to break through, they always played back and played with safety.

They should have used Watkins way more and put him 1v1 with Burn

[cerulean cape]

villa were on top before red card

[marsh palm]

ill have to watch the game tomorrow

[cerulean cape]

they were doingb better

[marsh palm]

most worried about him and palmer honestly

i like to hope maresca only implemented that strategy v palace and isn’t template

because idk why palmer still plays on the left

[limber pine]

Enzo better on the right

[marsh palm]

enzo was a complete no show yesterday

eze pocketed him whenever acheampong chalobah or caicedo tried to build up

why are we trying to maximize enzo over palmer when santos could work alongside caicedo lol

give palmer estevao and gusto overlapping and he’d be way more efficient against that type of low block

hard to assume west ham doesn’t play similar to palace

i still think and expect palmer to return since west hams midfield is trash but idk long term if maresca still employs palmer on the left its scary nights incoming

we should’ve either moved cucu closer to caicedo in the match or have played delap from the beginning

[limber pine]

Bro why you so reactionary? Palmer and Rogers had one shit game and ur fuming. Give them time

[marsh palm]

i mean its analysis

[cedar pine]

its copy pasta is what it is

[marsh palm]

idk anything about how rogers played but i watched palmer lol

[cedar pine]

you wrote an entire essay in a discord chat

[blazing gazelle]

I ended on 47pts. Not great, not terrible.

[marsh palm]

im not thinking about transferring palmer or anything but just something to mention

[lone glade]

55 points not too bad

sanchez 8 was nice

[cedar pine]

37 weeks to go, id be a bit unhappy with 47 but not terrible

at least im above smooth. World is in balance

[marsh palm]

its maybe 4 sentences lol

[blazing gazelle]

Yeah, but I dont have Haalah. 🙈

[marsh palm]

we take 64 points

[blazing gazelle]

Saka needs to destroy Leeds, but I have my doubts.

[marsh palm]

haaland 26 saved me

[clever hollow]

you dont need it g you just need ekitike

[marsh palm]

ill be captaining him > palmer and playing esteve > porro

solio finally says sanchez > dubravka even tho its been clear before gw1

markets r swinging after sunderland 3-0 and burnley 0-3

[keen wren]

Should’ve started him

[pale tiger]

[blazing gazelle]

I got Frimpong, he felt his hamstring. Almost tempted to sell

[cedar hull]

If you went gudmundsson/rodon over esteve you should have started them gw1 imo

[lone glade]

ffs

same

[cedar hull]

Baited by a lucky goal in community shield

[wanton whale]

Was never going too

[wanton whale]

I have both 😭

[cedar hull]

one of my options was to get lacroix and bench him for gudmundsson gw1, i would have been shitting myself watching the leeds game

[wanton whale]

I knew Everton weren’t good going forward but wow

Atleast I didn’t take kdh or Ndiaye

[jolly solstice]

Isn't that what it is

That's what livefpl said

[cedar hull]

i think its 15/15 rather than 11/11

[cedar hull]

oh fairs

[lone glade]

through in pick1

[silent jasper]

started my double NFO def

[novel harbor]

whos ur next pick

[hallow anchor]

It's because you aren't in the top 1m

(i.e. you suck)

Many duplicates of the team you copied between 6m and 7m

[novel harbor]

ok we'll see next gw when i am

will still be 0

[hallow anchor]

yes because you will still be outside the top 1m

[novel harbor]

[oak furnace]

my team is 1 in a million too

[quick dawn]

i have 4 clones

4 smart fellas

[cerulean cape]

At least non salah/haaland teams flopped

Team anal flopped

Tbh we were 1 reijnders blank or forest cs away from decent gw

[lone thorn]

yo i picked Øde in pick1, w?

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/martin-odegaard-ødegaard-arsenal-gif-4355529039894504201

[cedar pine]

im through to week 2 in pick1

[wanton whale]

same ez

[lone thorn]

[modern vector]

surely you all picked ballard gw 1

[lone thorn]

yh that was a good shout

[cedar pine]

Gakpo was the obvious pick last week

[wanton whale]

fr

for both pick1 and our teams

[cedar pine]

i wish I got gakpo instead of Rogers

but I wanted two 5.5m defenders and couldnt find the .5m

[wanton whale]

i wish i put more money in my defense

[cerulean cape]

Wish I could play triple Leeds and Sunderland def

[lone glade]

chat am i selling frimpong

[cerulean cape]

For RAN

[wanton whale]

wait for presser

[lone glade]

yh

[cedar hull]

Eze to spurs almost done

[wanton whale]

if hes ready by gw4 ill be there

[modern vector]

not a spurs player?

[cedar hull]

Yeah at 7.5, small chance he's on pens too

[modern vector]

Eze probably ready straight away

Glasner did say he'd play for Palace again but that was just cope

[elder cargo]

Palmer to Eze if he blanks against West Ham 😼

[wanton whale]

either that or cunha

why are we skulling? 😭

[oak furnace]

palmer to anderson, mateta to haaland need to free up more cash to go that tho

so fucking annoying

[twin ice]

how did Leeds play?

more attacking or defensive?

[humble bane]

very attacking. however their attack is dogshit and could only score from a pen

they dominated the game though tbf they got good pressing

just zero quality

defo getting relegated along with burnley sadly

[twin ice]

thank you for the analysis

Saka (C) will do nicely

[oak furnace]

no Arsenal gonna hurt

should've just started double Arsenal defence

they always start the season strong defensively

and get worse as the session processes

[cedar hull]

It's 1 gw, not bothered

[twin ice]

injuries

[twin ice]

can't relate

if Gyokeres doesn't farm against Leeds...

[elder cargo]

Tempted to go there with Saka as well

Need Arsenal to thrash them really

[twin ice]

I'm in the fucking mud if they don't

I dodged all the popular flops like Palmer, Bruno, Wirtz, Rogers but no point if Leeds aren't put in a spliff

[violet temple]

palmer to saka is tempting indeed but not sure if doing it before whu is the smartest of plays

[wanton whale]

it isnt

[keen wren]

We already have saka dw

[twin ice]

I doubt Chelsea replicate the beating that Sunderland gave them

[wanton whale]

if you wanted saka for gw2 you shouldve started with him

[cedar hull]

saka not even on pens, id rather punt on gyok tbh

[violet temple]

smart boy

[violet temple]

watkins to gyok sounds worse than palmer to saka for some reason

[twin ice]

Saka's more proven

[keen wren]

Acting like we will get pens

[twin ice]

that's because it's typical for Watkins to start slow and get better gradually

Palmer should be hitting the ground running for his price

but he's been a bum asset for time

no pre season PSG game changes that

[cedar hull]

not really tbh

[wanton whale]

Saka looked off against united tbf

[cerulean cape]

who did palmer/watkins to reijnders/haaland

[violet temple]

I think villa will get better ima hold watkins

[violet temple]

u caught me

[cerulean cape]

lmao

[wanton whale]

you cant not hold watkins with the fixtures he has

[cerulean cape]

scores twice next gw and people will sell haaland for him

[wanton whale]

reijnders at almost 800k transfers in 😭

[violet temple]

watkins to haaland back to watkins

[twin ice]

why'd you cut off GW1? because it makes my point? no goals in the first 3 which included trash Leicester

and West Ham as well

anyway have to wait till after intl break for Watkins, that's starting slow

[elder cargo]

Well I already have Saka, I definitely wouldn’t do that as a FT.

That’s a bad idea

[silent jasper]

but Arteta learning from his master Pep to pull a fraud on subbing Gyok at 59th minute though, not sure if he is a 90 minute player tbh
I prefer Saka even though he looks kinda bad

[wanton whale]

what about Saka to Palmer?

[violet temple]

Yeah was just tinkering a bit

Team for gw2

[elder cargo]

Did you have Thiago in GW1?

[cedar hull]

arsenal is gw1?

[violet temple]

Yes

[cedar hull]

idk thats as far back as i could go with fotmob

[elder cargo]

Fair enough

[slim bane]

The cbits got to me 😭

[wanton whale]

thiago gone mainstream

[twin ice]

West Ham was last season

[elder cargo]

He hit 1% ownership this week

[twin ice]

Arsenal was GW2 where he missed big chances

[cedar hull]

couldnt go further back so i assumed it was gw1

[elder cargo]

🔥

[cedar hull]

no need to be so aggressive

[violet temple]

Hopefully marmoush bench gw1 means he's off the hook for a few weeks 😭

[twin ice]

all g

[wanton whale]

yeah may as well sell tbf

[twin ice]

who's being aggressive?

[hollow ermine]

451 this game week

[hollow ermine]

Probably making transfers this week

[hollow ermine]

I’m expecting a delap start tbh

[cedar hull]

dont make me pull out the liverpool fan ss

[humble bane]

if watkins and jp cant score in these piss easy fixtures I'm wildcarding gw3

[silent jasper]

Understat shows the same yeah

[wanton whale]

why?

[twin ice]

do what you want bubba

[lone glade]

surely not

[humble bane]

will guiuiuiui play

[keen wren]

Are u not selling him

I saw he was dropping soon

[hollow ermine]

Just a thought really, we already know Pedro has limited minutes and cause of our inability to play down the middle we’re playing a lot more crosses and long balls, we created much more when delap came up to play the old school 9 than with Pedro because of the lack of colwill or Enzo dm

Probably too early

But wouldn’t surprise me

Plus West Ham are terrible in the air

[wanton whale]

Evanilson is tempting

[hollow ermine]

Anyway we’re rolling this week

[quick dawn]

play pedro cam palmer on the right

[hollow ermine]

Serious wirtz fraud watch this week

[quick dawn]

ive solved chelsea's tactics

[hollow ermine]

Far right no

[wanton whale]

but im not making moves now

[hollow ermine]

Palmer does not play winger

[violet temple]

Short term pain for long term gain

[hollow ermine]

And never will under maresca tbh

[cedar hull]

idk how i feel about evanilson with kluivert tbh, swear he ghosted during kluiverts purple patch but could be wrong

[violet temple]

it's just copium on my end but it is what it is

[twin ice]

didn't he cook there under Poch

why can't he

[quick dawn]

wasnt palmer on the right when he scored every week

[twin ice]

because Mascara doesn't think so?

[hollow ermine]

Poch’s wingers and maresca’s wingers aren’t the same

[hollow ermine]

Maresca liked aggressive direct wingers who arrive late and don’t wander around the edge

[silent jasper]

I took KDH
Got tricked haha for the fixtures

[hollow ermine]

Poch played overlapping fullbacks and was ensured palmer could move around whenever he wanted so gusto would overlap

[twin ice]

Ndiaye was the biggest trap waiting to happen, never considered him

[silent jasper]

my friend took Ndiaye and Grealish 😭
At least I am not as screwed as him tbh @wanton whale

[twin ice]

so what's your outlook for Palmer this season

[wanton whale]

jesus

[hollow ermine]

It’s still palmer idk, what’s clear he’s never touching that poch season again. His role now is less ga emphasised

But what I know is palmer is still palmer, when the floodgates open he’ll always be involved and it takes one moment for him to pull something out really

[quick dawn]

ppl are saying gakpo could be benched

[humble bane]

This is called IQ deficiency

[wanton whale]

whos 'ppl'

[quick dawn]

randoms on twitter

[silent jasper]

I doubt so for now

[quick dawn]

i mean id imagine it would szobo

[wanton whale]

wow thanks!

[silent jasper]

If UCL starts maybe, for now its just PL I really don't see a big rotation for Gakpo and co
I might be wrong but I just think they have to field their strongest 11 every week imo

[twin ice]

RIP Palmer, Maresca is not seeing heaven

[twin ice]

when Isak comes it's a different story

[humble bane]

Gakpo would still be nailed to start. But his mins might reduce from 90 to 70

[wanton whale]

i hope Gakpo makes gw4 before i ship him off

[humble bane]

gakpo isak salah will be the front 3

[silent jasper]

I really don't think Ekitike will be dropped immediately
Not sure if he can play at LW though

[humble bane]

Then Isak will be benched

it wont be gakpo

[silent jasper]

If Pool really signs Isak I think by GW4 he should be a starter due to no pre season

[humble bane]

Only reason people are trying to shove Ekitike at LW is because of his price tag. But Gakpo is still miles ahead of him at LW

if Ekitike was 40m this wouldnt even be a conversation

[cedar hull]

people are saying gakpo will be benched to faciliate wirtz lw and szobo cm, but tbh it could easily be the usual 3 in midfield and szobo rb if frimpong out

[humble bane]

more likely gomez RB i think

[silent jasper]

Szobo RB
Not really feeling it

[modern vector]

Newcastle still can't even get a single striker

[cedar hull]

slot himself said ekitike can play lw fwiw

[humble bane]

or even Jones

[cedar hull]

he played there in preseason no?

[humble bane]

Yea ik

[humble bane]

thats why i said that

[silent jasper]

Yeah dont really like him playing there
Was against Milan iirc

[cedar hull]

he was like the best player on the pitch

who plays rb if frimpong isnt match fit

[humble bane]

gomez

jones/szobo are the next choices

[cedar hull]

forgot hes back from injury again

mf always injured

[humble bane]

6 days left until the match so i wouldnt count on it. plenty of time to get injured again

[carmine arch]

5 point bench boost loading

Wml

[modern vector]

I'll just use bb when I have min 8 points

some point after wildcard or right after afcon transfers

[carmine arch]

Might just fh4 and save bb

[twin ice]

instructions unclear, Macallister best Liverpool attacking asset

[cedar hull]

douglas luiz to forest

anderson xmins

[modern vector]

Forest signing everyone

They could feed half the league with their strikers alone

Awoniyi, Wood, Kalimuendo and igor surely get into most teams

[cedar hull]

they had some shite squad depth and now in europa, they still need signings

[elder cargo]

W

[hollow ermine]

Not concerned

Anderson threat is mcatee them lot

[novel harbor]

anderson’s mins will barely change ngl

[cedar hull]

I mean any form of early sub massively hampers Defcon chances

[modern vector]

Anderson is a great player anyway so probably fine

I was gonna say Nuno rarely rotates but he probably has too with the current squad and all the players coming in

[cerulean cape]

Sangare doesn't only ruin homes, he also ruins clean sheets

[cedar hull]

They lacked quality depth so idk if they didn't rotate because of that or just Nuno doesn't rotate much

[cerulean cape]

Dont need to rotate with only prem games

He will need to now

Also he did rotate a bit

Just not the def or wood

[modern vector]

You say not Wood but they have 4 strikers

[cerulean cape]

Cho and elanga were dropped all the time in chanhes of formation

Meant last season

Also he won't be dropped anyway if he carries on scoring

Why didn't kalimuendo rumours be after deadline

[modern vector]

Yeah I thought Kalimuendo might get a look in until Wood put 2 in on the first game of their season

[cerulean cape]

I'd still be on wood

[cedar hull]

Arsenal are finished bro what

Trossard new contract with higher wage, but it's not an extension

[lone glade]

man u were 10x better than arsenal

lucky mfs

[hollow ermine]

Hilarious how they already have a striker apart from him

Yet woods xmins doesn’t look massively reduced

They have 4 fit strikers

Solid one too

[modern vector]

tbf Kalimuendo probably made the right choice

I thought he'd go to brentford then get snapped up by someone else at the end of the season but they look poor

[carmine arch]

So psg where lucky?

[obtuse shoal]

What’s psg gotta do with that game?

[carmine arch]

We played better then psg and created more

And got clowned for saying that we were unlucky

Where is this for united

[modern vector]

they got clowned too

but it shows that they respect arsenal

no one will say united were unlucky if they play the same at the weekend and lose to fulham

[copper hinge]

Is douglaz luiz a threat to Anderson?

[obtuse shoal]

It’s not just him, they bought several mids, question is gonna be does Nuno rotate once Europe starts.

[lone thorn]

definitely

[hollow ermine]

Yes but not directly

They have more midfielders in total now so rotating is on the cards

But Luis is not direct opposition to Anderson I don’t think

[humble bane]

we're just that big

[cedar hull]

[marsh palm]

I dont think so only because of the fact that there's no way West Ham would be able to replicate Palace's low block and I'd assume that Maresca would scheme up ways to give Palmer more space which would directly benefit Joao Pedro more then it would Delap

Also just benching the guy who basically got you the CWC because of a stubborn defensive performance would be weird

[hollow ermine]

I see it

I don’t think he’ll be benched

But wouldn’t surprise me idk

West Ham are horrible in the air

Horrible

[barren geyser]

who we captaining gw2

[cedar hull]

salah

[barren geyser]

on haaland atm but brentford looked wank vs forest

[cedar hull]

haaland is good yeah

not captaining a villa player

[barren geyser]

this is true

just back haaland more tbf

[modern vector]

Watkins should be a better cap than haaland based on the past 2 seasons 💀

[wanton whale]

yes we are

[cedar hull]

not captaining a villa striker who may not be on pens

[wanton whale]

he bags a brace tho icl

[barren geyser]

i always trust haaland at the start of the season

[modern vector]

he's certainly not on pens

and if he is that's just a -2

[cedar hull]

2 goals yellow card and pen miss

[cedar hull]

then who is bruh

villas pen takers are all shit

[modern vector]

tielemanboybinho

[cedar hull]

ah yes tielemans, the guy who took 1 last season, missed, then didnt take any of the next 7

theyre all wank

[modern vector]

I mean you're right

even asensio missed 2

[wanton whale]

cba capping salah for mac 10 and szobo to score

[cedar hull]

dont remind me and cala

[modern vector]

but surely watkins isn't back on pens

[cedar hull]

i think hes on them til he misses

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/war-vietnam-ptsd-shell-shock-moment-gif-3022747568394546158

[modern vector]

so one more then

[cedar hull]

so thats at least one

[barren geyser]

forgot the cheeky gakpo brace

[modern vector]

Just let rogers take

Actually definitely don't

[cedar hull]

thats what im saying

[modern vector]

I don't own him

[cedar hull]

10%eo rogers on pens yes please

[wanton whale]

keep dreaming bud

[modern vector]

maybe it's time for captain mcginn to step up

[barren geyser]

bizot should have a shot

[modern vector]

Cash scored one against Lille 💀

I can't see any reason to point to any of their players in particular

it might acc be watkins

[cedar hull]

would have been konsa but hes suspended smh

[barren geyser]

villa had a 50% pen conversion rate

3 scored 3 missed

[modern vector]

watkins also has the same rate

[barren geyser]

2 misses were in 1 game

[modern vector]

6 scored 6 missed iirc

[modern vector]

stop reminding them

[barren geyser]

but they were tied 2nd for penalties awarded in the prem

[lavish parcel]

Got 4 candidates for captaincy this week and I am pretty sure I will end up picking the wrong one

Salah
Saka
Palmer
Watkins

[marsh palm]

Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy. Always just cap Salah, never get fancy.

[lavish parcel]

It's pretty much 50% salah, 30% Saka, 10% Palmer and 10% Watkins

[cedar hull]

dont like saka cap without pens tbh

[lavish parcel]

I mean Saka plays 90 and Gyokeres get subbed off

The pen goals were late

[marsh palm]

Id rank it Haaland Salah Palmer Saka Watkins everyone else

[lavish parcel]

Nmecha and Thiago

[marsh palm]

If I wasnt a Chelsea fan it'd be a set and forget Haaland but ofc I have to overthink it

[lavish parcel]

I think salah (C) it is, just going to play it safe for first few weeks

No risks required

[obtuse shoal]

He really has a bad track record. Can remember him missing 2 in one game ages ago at Anderlecht.

[cedar hull]

villa should genunely be in the markt for a pen taker

emery hates watkins anyway

[limber pine]

Morgan Rogers is pretty good at penalties, wouldn’t put him off the potential list.

[modern vector]

Watkins got a goal contribution a game the season before last and pretty much did the same last season despite being benched for duran and then rashford at times

would be sad if he gets benched for nico jackson this season

[lone thorn]

he should be on them

[cedar hull]

theres a genuine chance

[obtuse shoal]

If he’s on them he might become a more interesting asset than Watkins.

[lavish parcel]

I mean villa needs another attacker tho

It was hard to watch the way they played even before red card

Especially at home

[limber pine]

I’m now ranked number 8000th best manager of all time in FPL

[obtuse shoal]

Where can you even check that?

[limber pine]

FPL Research

[limber pine]

I’ll check for u

[supple steeple]

Rank: 2 025

thought it'd be higher tbh

[supple steeple]

oh nvm

sheet says 1754

dropped cause I had a shit gw1

[obtuse shoal]

If I look it up it says 28.000th something. Not bad. Since it took me so long to really get into this game.

[limber pine]

That’s not the newest

This is the new

Was updated like 10 mins ago

[obtuse shoal]

With this season included you mean? Well doesn’t really mean anything so far.

[limber pine]

No idea tbh, just found it someone dropped it like rn

No idea how it works

Let’s aim for top 1k manager 😭😭

I have only had 3 proper FPL seasons so far

[obtuse shoal]

Slow but steady.

[supple steeple]

if I finish top10k this season I will be top 1000 I think

[cedar hull]

back onto villa being a shit club with terrible financial decisions, they have the 12th highest wage bill in europe

[limber pine]

My uncle is like a super super fantasy intrested guy, he ended like top 2k and it was crazy 3 seasons ago. Then I started playing properly after that and had a proper season in my second attempt and finished 198th, and now he has something he never gonna achieve😭😭

[obtuse shoal]

I have 7 seasons playing as a casual quitting before Christmas before I started playing ‘serious’. I guess that doesn’t help me. Could’ve just started anew and it would’ve been better.

[limber pine]

🕊️🕊️🕊️ I will never forget

[cedar hull]

most of my seasons result in massive regression by around like march time since i get so busy around then

[obtuse shoal]

Quite a lot of Norwegians in top 100 all time.

[limber pine]

I placed 198th that season, and there was 22 Norwegians ahead of me. Makes you think

[hollow ermine]

One day I will finish top 200k

One day

[supple steeple]

huh

[modern vector]

this is your season

[supple steeple]

what other nations have Viaplay League?

[cedar hull]

weird link between quality of life and playing this god forsaken game

[supple steeple]

1st in Norway but 3rd in Viaplay League

[obtuse shoal]

Didn’t know India had such good quality of life

[limber pine]

Viaplay is Scandinavian

As you know most likely 🤣

[supple steeple]

aha

no, I didnt

[hollow ermine]

Probably get superpowers in fpl from all the gasses they inhale daily

[cedar hull]

nah its just magnus carlsen controls the norwegian hivemind

[lavish parcel]

Idk if this has been sent here before

Bournemouth cs odds are crazy

[lone thorn]

Senesi

[barren geyser]

surely the 2.35 goals city have projected haaland will be one of them

written in the stars

[lavish parcel]

Really hoping TF plays Back 5

Porro+ Romero + danso + Vdv + Udogie

[marsh palm]

its gonna be a back 3

[lavish parcel]

Brighton has more cs odds than Everton holy shit

What the fuck

[cedar hull]

spence over udogie yeah

[supple steeple]

the Keane effect

[marsh palm]

might have to cook a 6 legger

[cedar hull]

attack and defence strength is non linear

[marsh palm]

chelsea+arsenal+villa+united to win and city/spurs + liverpool/newcastle btts

🤔

[lavish parcel]

Kinda wished Salah hadn't score, would've made the decision easier to cap Saka GW2

[lone thorn]

Hugo huge stonks with that Isak bomba

[lavish parcel]

Didn't slot say he's locked to start till gw3

[cedar hull]

wdym

[lone thorn]

everyone was worrying about Hugo bcus of Isak

[lavish parcel]

Not much has changed tho

Ekitike pick was short term anyways

[lone thorn]

how? this makes him a solid longterm pick now, nailed pool's only st

looks good aswell

i wonder if pool will go for another st tho now that Isak's collapsed

[lavish parcel]

But we all expect them to sign a striker

Yeah they might

Imagine Wissa to Pool

[lone thorn]

well let's see if they do, they've been on their knees for Isak this whole time

[lavish parcel]

Newcastle should've accepted the 150m

[lone thorn]

2weeks left until transfer deadline

[lavish parcel]

How long is Isak's contract?

[lone thorn]

3y

[lavish parcel]

Watch them sell Isak for literally less than 150 now

[cedar hull]

i mean its still up in the air

todays news changes nothing imo

[cedar hull]

the bid was 120 addons included

newcastle want 150 ish

[lavish parcel]

Well I never claimed to be a tier 1 agent

[hollow ermine]

Well it does show Newcastle aren’t very smart apparently

Cause what do they gain from not selling atp

[lavish parcel]

Think they were trying lure sesko

[cedar hull]

their best player is under contract

they have every right to not wanna sell

[hollow ermine]

Yes

But what do they gain

[cedar hull]

theyre standing their ground

its not what they gain but what they lose if it happens

[lavish parcel]

But does it matter if that best player isn't best player anymore?

You lose the money and the player

[cedar hull]

but this whole time its literally been that if they sign 1-2 strikers isak may go

they havent done that

hes got 3 years left

his value is essentially the same next year

[hollow ermine]

They’re essentially just standing ground

[lavish parcel]

No but what if Isak just refused to perform?

[cedar hull]

then thats his loss to

[hollow ermine]

They lose more than they gain with all this

[lavish parcel]

I mean surely then no one will buy him

[cedar hull]

exactly

[hollow ermine]

He’s not playing anyway

[lavish parcel]

And it comes to bite Newcastle tho

[hollow ermine]

There’s no point having a toxic element in the dressing room

[cedar hull]

if he doesnt play they can just fine the shit outta him

[lavish parcel]

They lose the money pool were ready to offer

[cedar hull]

i mean it was a lowball

if newcastle value isak at 150+, thats how much its gonna cost, thats how it works

[hollow ermine]

The players and the managers want this sorted asap, no point in having Isak mess up the dressing room

[cedar hull]

yeah ofc, im bored with how long this has gone on

its at the point where its lose lose for everyone

[lavish parcel]

Does Liverpool have any alternative to Isak?

[cedar hull]

probably

it will be some young striker or smth

they need a striker now with chiesa staying

could go for wissa ig

but idk if thats the age profile they are looking for

the only people that have gained from all this is journalists lol

[lavish parcel]

Literally

We see a new piece of information everyday
