[oak furnace]

I don't even want isak anymore

[cedar hull]

national league north to prem win in 7 seasons

[lavish parcel]

I wish marmoush didn't join city in winter

Would've loved him at Liverpool

[oak furnace]

idk why we dont go for rodrygo

[valid river]

Captain Palmer or haaland?

I'm very 50/50

Frank being so good against haaland

[silent jasper]

Defo Haaland imo
Looks very explosive

[lone thorn]

Palmer's not moving me with this shaky form

[lavish parcel]

Screw it, I am going Saka captain

90 mins man

Gyokeres gets subbed
Arsenal win 5 pens
He scores all 5

30+ points

@slim bane who you leaning on cap?

You have Saka right?

[slim bane]

Saka

It’s the mins for me

[lavish parcel]

It's Salah and Saka for me but I know I am gonna captain the wrong one

I need to find one stat that makes Saka more viable for C

[proud gale]

hes playing leeds; that would be good enough for me to risk it

[lavish parcel]

Fuck sake

Salah vs Newcastle 16 games, 10G 8A

💀

W13 D4

[slim bane]

Salah GW1 only 1 time didn’t have a double digit haul

And he replicated that this season

[lavish parcel]

He's only had 4 blanks in 16 games tho

And gravenberch is back, so a little bit of shape and stability as well

[oak furnace]

Salah last 3 years against Newcastle

[lavish parcel]

Salah it is

😭

[oak furnace]

Salah has a goal in 3 of his last 4 against Arsenal too btw

horrendous record vs Burnley tho

blanks in his last 6 lol

[lavish parcel]

[twin ice]

Bro everyone is a Man United fan in England so ofc they eill sweep failures under the rug

And the foreign fans follow suit and lap it up

[cedar pine]

How shit were newcastle for a large majority of those games

There's value in not rolling over for players not willing to honor their contract because it sets the stage for the future.

[broken patio]

I respect Newcastle a lot for standing their ground and not succumbing to player power, even if it's potentially not in their best interest

[jolly solstice]

Remember newcastle was shit before 22/23

[hollow ermine]

I do too

But atp you’re losing more than you gain

Granted when they sign a new striker, it’ll be cleared

[broken patio]

Remember Steve Bruce playing absolute terrorism football with a 541 super low block, and their only exciting attacking player was ASM

[hollow ermine]

Forest looking at cash

Doubt it materialises though

[elder cargo]

How much cash?

[latent depot]

It's weird to me that players delete their club related insta posts

[hollow ermine]

Fofanas case is different

But yeah it’s meant to be a statement

Then you have players like RKM who nobody wants

[novel harbor]

gyokeres in

[zealous forum]

Damn Arsenal's season is over before it even began this year

[modern vector]

What is Fofana trying to say?

The other players who did the same want transfers

[hollow ermine]

He gets a lot of abuse from Chelsea fans

[modern vector]

well yeah that's why you don't join chelsea

unless you have the tendencies of an enzo fernandez

[oak furnace]

Havertz injured already is crazy

[modern vector]

Jackson to Arsenal will be announced soon

[oak furnace]

fark

i was gonna get gyok

[rugged meteor]

Surprised Newcastle aren't interested in him

[modern vector]

They were reportedly

[hollow ermine]

They are

But evaluating

[rugged meteor]

-40m wissa, -50m jackson, + 120m isak, job done

[modern vector]

Brentford want 60 and Chelsea want 80 reportedly 💀

[humble dust]

they accepted 30 now changed it to 60

[modern vector]

Yeah they doubled it and told him he was staying then he deleted all his brentford posts

[lavish parcel]

So trossard out, havertz out, Jesus out

Saka might not be 90 mins man if Arteta wants to be cautious

[oak furnace]

Gyok free on wildcard

[cedar hull]

Nah they rejected 35 asked for 50

Think Newcastle were gonna bid 40 or something before the whole thing blew up

[tired gull]

doubt it

[cedar hull]

It's hard to call

First choice midfield 3 is mgw, Anderson and luiz over sangare

[tired gull]

when nuno has a favourite their mins barely drop

[cedar hull]

But they tried a 442 in every preseason game, now have kalimuendo and Igor jesus

[tired gull]

he will play them as much as possible

[cedar hull]

Which means it leaves 3 out in the 4231

Yes but with Defcon, you need those 90 minutes

If he's getting subbed at 75/80 most games then it's a massive hit to his points due to the threshold

[modern vector]

I'm interested to see how many minutes Kalimuendo, Awoniyi and Igor get assuming Wood avoids injury

[cedar hull]

Yeah that's what I mean

They have good depth now tho

But it looked like they wanted a two striker setup in preseason

[tired gull]

it's an option, same article from percy says this

[cedar hull]

Yeah I'm playing devil's advocate here, he's for sure first choice

Just gotta remember that early subs kill Defcon across the season

[hollow ermine]

Was 2/6 though

And to no avail

But yeah xmins reduce simply due to numericals

Luiz himself is not direct threat

[novel harbor]

ive decided that im winning fpl

[cerulean cape]

Boring, my next fpl decision is on the 13th

[cedar hull]

Yeah this week is dead icl

Give me some unexpected transfers or isak clarity or smth

[quick dawn]

Maybe but luiz isnt a dm

[slim bane]

Gyok xmins

Until you realise there’s a backup CF waiting in the wings merinoooooooo

[wanton whale]

expected minutes

well Havertz is competing with Gyokeres for our 9 spot, and hes now injured

Havertz

[clever hollow]

Kai Lukas Havertz

arsenal fan and isnt up to date on his team

makes you think

[wanton whale]

unsure right now

[novel harbor]

based

"i agree"

[clever hollow]

your statement was understood and you covered all bases - “based”

[novel harbor]

think of it as the new "respect"

[clever hollow]

no

[clever hollow]

pretty bad

[cedar pine]

This is a #fpl_chat question

Cause if you have to ask that, you havent graduated from your own RMT

I'm mostly trying here to tell you that you should spend 2 seconds thinking about it before asking

Sure pal

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers

That shows what you know

I got 58, which is a pretty decent score for the week. That's why Jan was being just as sarcastic as I was towards you

Hilarious bud

[cerulean cape]

Gyokeres can have 90 mins but he's still a Portuguese farmer

Blank vs mighty leeds

Good

[cedar pine]

Bookies somehow believe arsenal has 75% plus chance of getting 2+ goals

[cerulean cape]

He farms bad teams

[cerulean cape]

75% chance goal comes from a corner also

[cedar pine]

A goal is a goal

[cerulean cape]

Yes

[cedar pine]

The ideal outcome everyone gets gyokeres in, doesn't get a return then they are stuck with him for terrible fix

[cerulean cape]

Not easy to find a harder team than Liverpool away

My point is the title winners from last year is a hard team.

[limber pine]

This week we gonna coooook

[twin ice]

to win against, not to score against

[cerulean cape]

What

We may need a new thread boys, rip 100k

[cerulean cape]

Nice bb

[cedar hull]

[earnest torrent]

need to relocate the thread no one expects it to be

[marsh palm]

Sneaky bench boost

But what do we say about getting fancy

Most people who have him are

Those who aren’t are being fancy

I have him and im still contemplating not captaining him

It’s honestly surprising to me his projections are the highest for the gameweek

Especially without any cs odds

What markets believe is likely to happen

Estimating expected goals expected assists clean sheet odds etc

It’s not the end all be all but its probably more accurate then the assumptions we make

I can guarantee you markets are more accurate then watching all of the games

Yes, but its more then just the eye test

If you think you can understand what will happen better then sportsbooks because you’ve watched all the games you should try and see what happens if you sports bet with that belief

[twin ice]

I'm picking Saka cap over Salah

[marsh palm]

I dont think its the end all be all, hence why there’s still a debate for me between Haaland vs Palmer and Esteve, but im leaning Haaland and Esteve primarily because its the safer option based off of market predictions

Now it could change just because of personal biases

I could think Palmer has a higher chance of producing because of how we set up and how West Ham are bad on the wide areas of the pitch or I could think Porro has a higher chance of producing because he’ll be one of the furthest up the pitch in a back 3/5 and can atleast give G/A if neither will give CS

[cerulean cape]

I value fas' opinion and eye test more than betting matkets doing research

[modern vector]

tbf Frank won't necessarily play a back 5

But either way Porro put the ball in the box 14 times against burney and is on set pieces

[cerulean cape]

You know ball

[elder cargo]

It is

[silent jasper]

for real

[carmine arch]

i think we beat liverpool

we just match up well

[lone glade]

means u know ball

[wanton whale]

Our attack is just worse is the issue

[elder cargo]

Yeah you looked mint against United so probably

[carmine arch]

big 6 record innit

[carmine arch]

gabriel header calma

1-0 i reckon

[cedar pine]

Why did you think i told him to ask in fpl_chat

[wanton whale]

how have so many people found this thread

fair enough

[zealous forum]

Also it's often top of 'Recently active' threads, and Ayylmao has a shiny gold name which stands out.

[slim bane]

Ffs

[slim bane]

It’s automatically sorted by new tho smh

[zealous forum]

Yeah most won't check by that

But like it's easy to find lol

[slim bane]

Need to rename the thread KEEP OUT at this point

[hollow ermine]

lol they gatekeeping thread

[silent jasper]

I could create one since I don't have the shiny name

[lavish parcel]

We could follow LMS to get people in

If you get kicked out of LMS, you can get in the thread since Ayy has same points as them

If you score more, you can't join the thread

[cedar hull]

use one of the voice channels chat

[lavish parcel]

[valid ocean]

It’s so annoying that you can’t search for photos in threads or whatever this is

[lavish parcel]

Wdym

[valid ocean]

Just make a channel and make it invite only

[lavish parcel]

Wow

Should've thought earlier

[valid ocean]

Then wtf is this mate

[lone thorn]

yh

can't search for msgs properly either

[lavish parcel]

It was an idea 😭

Works only if it's Ayy's thread tho

I mean 110 members aren't that bad since 75+ are always offline

Wait nvm it's closer to 150 than to 110

[broken patio]

Dear god what is this bench

[valid ocean]

You can turn that off so it doesn’t show when you’re online though

[cedar hull]

forbidden bench boost

[lavish parcel]

I did not know that

[broken patio]

If that's a bench boost then it's fine

[lavish parcel]

I can spy?

[broken patio]

@cedar hull Capping Salah yeah?

[cedar hull]

obv

boring but until i see some consistency palmers not an option

[broken patio]

Yeah Palmer did not look like a captaincy option gw1

Salah barely did either but he's Salah

Still looked better than palmer though

[lavish parcel]

It's that left attacking mid role that doesn't help his cause

Or Central idk how to explain that

[broken patio]

If villa looked decent Vs newcastle I would've at least considered Watkins but they looked pretty shit

Even though I expect villa to comfortably beat that woeful Brentford side

[lavish parcel]

If Villa are bad at home, it's GGs in away games

Wish I had Semenyo

[limber pine]

I just bench whoever I think will score the least points

[lavish parcel]

It's recency bias but he might've been a good captain pick

[broken patio]

Shows how little faith we have in Salah

[novel harbor]

interestingggg

im leaning palmer atm

[cedar hull]

i wont be surprised at all if palmer does well

[novel harbor]

i think palmer can be so explosive randomly and i feel like west ham away could be one of those games he just absolutely blows up in

[cedar hull]

but its basically reliant on how maresca decides to set up

[novel harbor]

solio and review are rivalling on the captaincy option rn review is on salah and solio is on palmer. will be interesting to see what content creators do (my guess is salah)

[cedar hull]

well we can figure out who uses review and who uses solio at least lol

[broken patio]

Totally valid

Equally though Salah can randomly be explosive

Away at st James' park is not a good fixture though

Newcastle looked better gw1 than I think most of us expected them to, too

[novel harbor]

club tension could make it a lively game 👀

tho the players dont rly share the tension

[broken patio]

I don't really put any weight into narratives like that ngl

Same thing as when people say 'its a derby anything could happen'

[novel harbor]

i think palace forest has a potential to carry the narrative ngl

but ye valid

[broken patio]

I remember people saying that when man utd Vs Liverpool was a fix, and Liverpool were the best attack in the league and man utd the worst defence in the league, but people didn't want to cap Salah because it's a derby and anything could happen

And then Liverpool beat them 7-0

[broken patio]

Wdym?

[cedar hull]

yeah agree on the narratives part

[novel harbor]

i think what happened could actually spark a new rivalry-adjacent dynamic

i think this is a rare instance where crystal palace players would actually feel motivated to dominate forest

i think its less fan based than other rivalries

[broken patio]

Oh right I get you

[novel harbor]

i take it eze wont play?

[cedar hull]

depends

theres no bad faith

eze leaves as soon as they get el khannous

dont forget they play tomorrow though

[novel harbor]

idk players are human ofc. i cant imagine its easy to stay completely professional over something like that

historical moment for palace

i personally think something will go down 👀

but i guess we'll see

[broken patio]

Gilmour started the season playing every game for us right up until he left, even though it was all but confirmed that he was going to napoli

Ever since then I haven't been surprised when players keep playing even though we know they're leaving

[cedar hull]

dont think its that deep

palace won the cs as well which has minimised the damage if you get me

[novel harbor]

ye good point

[broken patio]

Obviously they'd rather be in the Europa league but conference is probably better for their thin squad

More realistic chance of winning it too

[cedar hull]

feel like it was more of a problem for the owners than the players

europa to conference isnt as big a jump as like CL to europa

[modern vector]

tbf I didn't think about that, game could be worth watching

[hallow anchor]

Scoutcast is on in my gym

[novel harbor]

o

[hallow anchor]

Only ever wanted arsenal

[hollow ermine]

Won’t matter if Arsenal lose the bidding war innit

[latent depot]

Played Levy like a fiddle

[carmine arch]

do it

just ban all the randos from the thread then make it private if possible

[lone thorn]

i'll speak with @cerulean cape first

[carmine arch]

cant lose the message count

[lone thorn]

u can't ban from threads

[carmine arch]

u can remove

[lone thorn]

that doesn't do anything

[carmine arch]

thats cooked

[lone thorn]

yh, threads r shit

[carmine arch]

yes

ofc

[trail forum]

That’s iconic, even got the colour scheme

[lavish parcel]

@broken patio you have Saka?

If so, you capping him?

[trail forum]

No he doesn’t

[lavish parcel]

Lmao

I think it's just me and ayy who went with Saka

[trail forum]

Surely the whole point was to cap

[broken patio]

No

[lavish parcel]

Don't jinx it lil bro

[broken patio]

Arsenal could score 4 goals without him being involved

[lavish parcel]

He is definitely blanking now

[slim bane]

Havertz injury forced his hand

[modern vector]

is anyone getting quadruple arsenal while they have the chance?

[supple steeple]

Wrong.

?

[earnest torrent]

We seriously have these kind of people in the thread lol

[valid ocean]

Explain this then

[olive flame]

Absolutely false

[cedar pine]

you can have more than 3 players from one team

[earnest torrent]

Yeah i seriously think now it be a good time to reset

[modern vector]

guess I should be banned then

[earnest torrent]

Hacking

[hallow anchor]

Hax

[earnest torrent]

Bro paid the Towers to do that

[hallow anchor]

Paid the towers to have quad Burnley defence

[earnest torrent]

Advantage anti FPL

[broken patio]

How have you done this lmao

[earnest torrent]

Tbf its the app

Yes you need to download an online version of it

[broken patio]

I bet buying players before they move club but how do you have 4 arsenal there lol

Wait that team is not affordable

Yeah that team is not real

You can get 4+ of a team though

[olive flame]

[broken patio]

You buy players before they move club

Quintuple Burnley was possible this season

[valid ocean]

It’s a feature bro

[broken patio]

Well, whenever you make any transfers it won't let you confirm them unless you have 3 or less of any club, so you basically can't make any transfers if you wanna keep it

[earnest torrent]

Bro discovers an FPL life hack he never knew before

[broken patio]

But if you wanna do a set and forget then you could do 4+ Liverpool this season for instance

With isak/guehi

[earnest torrent]

[limber pine]

Why you have that geek pfp

[lone thorn]

[limber pine]

[placid flame]

you should take a look at f1 chat

[lone thorn]

there was an incident where he proved himself to be an alt, we just didn't ban him yet

[limber pine]

Oh

Didn’t know

@broken patio thoughts on enciso?

Wait he's going to Strasbourg then Chelsea? FFS Chelsea stop 😭 😭

[latent depot]

damn, how long were Spurs courting Eze

[cedar hull]

levy was too busy trying to shave off a few mil in addons

[oak furnace]

Levy sucks

Arsenal so clutch

eze gyok saka front 3 is now top 3 in the league

with fartinsmelli it was barely top 5

[zealous forum]

If Arteta doesn't win something after spending over 1 billion and with that sort of squad

It's joever

[cedar hull]

https://tenor.com/view/jovertime-jover-nicholas-jover-arsenal-prasshant-gif-3498092602672893393

[elder cargo]

Great so Mateta just got worse and Eze won’t even be a good pick for FPL

The latter was meant to be the silver lining if he went to spurs

[cedar hull]

mateta is still okay due to pen share

but yeah

not ideal

[wanton whale]

Palace will struggle

surely they sign someone tho

[limber pine]

Åååååå

Det er Bodø/Glimtttt

Shalalallaalaaaaa

[obtuse shoal]

Brugge turned palace bid down ,34mil for tzolis

[cedar hull]

yeah theyre getting el khannouss

linked to tzolis too

[hollow ermine]

Spurs bidding war soon

[obtuse shoal]

Tzolis not leaving. He renewed this summer. Made clear he’s staying.

[cedar hull]

damn he did, they were linked to him after that tho, weird

[cedar hull]

could be tbf

[modern vector]

beundia

[cedar hull]

i wanna know who their guehi replacement would be

[hollow ermine]

Disasi hopefully

Jokes aside a reality exists where chaloboah leaves

But it’s a harsh one

[cedar hull]

i didnt wanna mention it but disasi got linked to bournemouth today

might kms

[hallow anchor]

Kiwior

[cedar hull]

decent shout tbf

[hollow ermine]

In reality the answer is diomande

[hallow anchor]

Would be a disasister

[hollow ermine]

That deal has stalled for almost a full month now

The whole uefa thing sidetracked palace

Don’t know how aggressive they can be these last weeks

[cedar hull]

oh yeah, doubt he joins for conference tbf

but would be a great signing

[oak furnace]

I reckon calafiori might be a pick with eze left wing

[lavish parcel]

When Eze joins, who loses more minutes?

[prime plinth]

Cook

[lavish parcel]

Should've bench boosted

[subtle cove]

shoulda triple capped bowen while hes at it

[marsh palm]

@novel harbor paqueta drop 😭

[twin ice]

4 Arsenal players you say?

[little delta]

do we think eze is gonna be playing against forest

[cedar hull]

@broken patio you seen this

[violet temple]

nah

Off the bench perhaps

[cedar pine]

agree

[cedar hull]

Arsenal assets are a wait and see til gw7 anyway

[broken patio]

Lmao what

[hollow ermine]

Fab wasn’t actually wrong, just started ad-libbing stuff foolishly

City and gala were working on an agreement

Which is true

Personal terms were never a thing

[oak furnace]

eze has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

[cedar pine]

imagine if he gets injured in that game

[cedar hull]

That game is today in conference

[elder cargo]

Me owning Saka already 🥺

[cedar hull]

Couldn't lace thiago boots

[elder cargo]

My penalty merchant is clear

Thiago against villa is going to be a movie

[oak furnace]

that's what I'm saying

[cerulean cape]

Guess how many times Reijnders managed to get 1g and 1a in the same game in 179 starts?

[cedar pine]

180 times

[cerulean cape]

Close

[novel harbor]

lateriser on palmer

pras on salah

bets on ben's captain?

[cedar pine]

its too early to think about what lateriser is doing

[oak furnace]

he's done it every game I've owned him in fpl

[marsh palm]

Also on Esteve over Porro

I think its closer then expected but for me it’s the potential of CBIT vs the potential of G/A

[slim bane]

I’m going gyok cap

since his xmins increased

And also on pens

Reportedly

[marsh palm]

Why not go Salah if ure using analytics

[slim bane]

Since when have I been using analytics lol

I’m just in that discord

[marsh palm]

U just talked about xmins…

[slim bane]

which is a thing??

Havertz is injured gyok will play more

[novel harbor]

im on esteve over porro

[marsh palm]

Isnt that considered analytical

[slim bane]

got subbed at 59 last week

Won’t happen this week

that’s like the bare minimum of analytics lmao

[novel harbor]

i was going to do porro -> tark but i decided against it

[slim bane]

I also don’t blindly follow the data

Which can be a detriment most times

But play for fun bro

[marsh palm]

Hey analytics is analytics

[marsh palm]

Me who has all 3

[slim bane]

don’t mean I gotta follow the ev captaincy tho

[marsh palm]

Obviously not

I’d personally go Salah because I believe his floor and ceiling is higher then Gyokeres’

Doesn’t matter cause I have Haaland who’s the best option this week analytics or not

[slim bane]

Dk why I didn’t push harder to make a salah haaland draft lmao

Failed at tinkering

[cedar pine]

we arent building a house, there's no floor and ceilings only goals

[slim bane]

For someone who ran 3x 4.0M defs before this is embarrassing

[cedar pine]

because Palmer looked to be the #1 name in our drafts

pre GW1

[slim bane]

I don’t have palmer

[cedar pine]

weirdo

[silent jasper]

would it be surprising to you guys if Spurs can keep cs against City?

[broken patio]

No

Unexpected yes but I would'nt be overly surprised

If city had a better fixture then I'd actually at least think about Salah/Palmer to Haaland for a hit

[lone glade]

Did we get Frimpong news

[broken patio]

But it's not a given that Haaland hauls this week imo

[silent jasper]

[limber pine]

He’s dead

[limber pine]

Slot press conference is at 2:30

[marsh chasm]

start verbruggen or dubravka and porro or esteve

[hallow anchor]

Who are the AI / content creator copycat teams going to cap out of Palmer and Salah?

Also who to start out of Sels/dub and porro/Steve is giving me a headache

Logic says esteve but I'm a beta so will likely go dub, Murillo, porro so to spread the stocks

[broken patio]

Dub Murillo porro sounds reasonable

[hallow anchor]

Haaland cap + porro feels bad though

Tbh all options feel bad

Also have Frimpong stinking up the joint

[broken patio]

Eh, that's fine

[hallow anchor]

Idk if anyone has done any proper analysis on defcons

My working theory is they will be highest in games with bad teams Vs bad teams

Since they lose possession more so there will be more total possessions

[wanton whale]

salah ofc

@lone glade you might be cooked

[novel harbor]

lol frimpong out

[wanton whale]

Frimpong owners been absolutely fisted

[novel harbor]

they get to pivot to gabriel tho :(

[wanton whale]

59 min sub into hamstring injury 😭

[novel harbor]

they're lowkey lucky

[wanton whale]

Nah they aren’t

Gab only gets a 6 pointer anyway

[novel harbor]

bullet header + cs incoming

[limber pine]

🚨 Jeremie Frimpong ruled out with a hamstring injury and will miss Liverpool games until after the September international break

[hallow anchor]

Christ

[silent jasper]

Pool defence

[hallow anchor]

RIP me getting rijnders

Who's the defensive play?

[wanton whale]

Gab/Cucu

[hallow anchor]

Can't face triple chelsea

Is Saliba not better for defcons?

Also arsenal fix kinda suck

[silent jasper]

not sure if Munoz is good but the fixture not too ideal

[hallow anchor]

There's a shout

I have no arsenal players so should probably fix that

My last minute move from Tark to Frimpong because I had an extra 0.5 is paying off handsomely

Who do the AI bots think is the best defender?

[supple steeple]

lmao if anything their defense will be better now

[silent jasper]

I think Arsenal defence is very solid still

[silent jasper]

it could be Gomez RB or Szob (worse case scenario)
What makes you say so

[hallow anchor]

We sucked Vs united, only kept a clean because of raya

Expect Leeds to score ngl

3-1 ars

[silent jasper]

Leeds attacking looks but no end product unfortunately
We shall see yeah

[hallow anchor]

Leeds were really solid

Weve got last year's promoted teams in mind

[cedar hull]

Frimpong out? That's cap locked then

[wanton whale]

he was locked anyway

[cedar hull]

He was 99% for me, frimpong out only makes him better

[wanton whale]

you think?

[cedar hull]

Yeah tactically

To maximise Salah you need him high and wide with a lot of space to be direct

Frimpong overlapping that high up the pitch means he has less space centrally

[barren geyser]

still on haaland atm, praying for a goal

[wanton whale]

Haaland is the best cap this week

[silent jasper]

looks like he is back to robot form

[cedar hull]

Yeah if I had haaland id cap him probably

[lavish parcel]

Saka can stay until IB now

Definitely playing him vs pool

[cedar hull]

Frimpong out makes them better defensively

[lavish parcel]

[blazing gazelle]

Who would y’all replace Pingpong with?

Virgil? Or Munoz or smth

[lavish parcel]

I'd do Lacroix or Tark

[zenith jolt]

id go Munoz

or Gabriel

[silent jasper]

got a feeling VVD might not have as many DC as he had for GW1 because Gravenberch is back and Frimpong is out
Could be wrong

[oak furnace]

pingpong out after 59 minutes rip

[silent jasper]

do you have him?

[oak furnace]

yeh in epl sc

[cedar hull]

Munoz for me

[oak furnace]

Just aussie tings

[cerulean cape]

RAN

[novel harbor]

icl any answers other than gabriel/saliba make no sense to me

myb RAN too actually

but im getting him out soon to make space for haaland

[slim bane]

just watch fpltips video

[broken patio]

Team picks itself this week

[cedar hull]

Pool city and Newcastle away in the next 5?

[slim bane]

bus parked

and ready to go

[novel harbor]

i think those are all fine fixtures for arsenal defenders im ngl

not amazing ofc

but i sort of back them to cs

[hallow anchor]

Pool and city definitely score

[novel harbor]

over other teams with better fixtures

[hallow anchor]

Newcastle are washed up

Might clean there

[novel harbor]

idk i disagree, i think theres a decent chance they do, but not definite

[slim bane]

pool without isak

[hallow anchor]

I mean they both score every game so it's not much of a reach

[slim bane]

and then newc without isak

ez

[hallow anchor]

We got a free hit to use in a random week anyways

So it's calm

[obtuse shoal]

I feel like I'm going to be the only one benching Esteve. Gonna root for Sunderland to score so hard.

[slim bane]

wouldnt be surprised if they did

they did put 3 past west ham

[cedar hull]

Maybe but to say all other answers than arsenal defence makes no sense just isn't right imo

[cedar hull]

I'm banking on a 4 pointer esteve Vs porro 2 pointer

[obtuse shoal]

Well Porro would be benched as well, as it currently stands 👀

MDC, Senesi, Murillo seem the most logical to me for now

[cedar hull]

Don't disagree with that

Who's your keeper

[obtuse shoal]

Sanchez

Dub on the bench

Think there's a big chance one of my benched defenders will outscore at least one of the starting ones, but that's how it goes

[cedar hull]

Yeah fairs

Run it back

[wanton whale]

i had salah cap and nunez 😭

most nerve racking game ever

[obtuse shoal]

I instantly remember Isak scoring that lovely goal against Pool last season. While everyone sold him to Jackson, cause he was supposedly injured.

[latent depot]

why are CCs making FH2 videos

if you're doing that, then surely you're making a FH video for every GW YT grind is real

[keen wren]

No Anfield factor this time

[silent jasper]

that was me 😭
And he got price rise to 0.2 after the game

[obtuse shoal]

ngl I was super close to doing it myself, it was a midweek game, so I figured if he's out for at least 2 games it's worth it. Somehow I just decided not to act on it.

[silent jasper]

good for you

[novel harbor]

eze apparently not playing tn 👀

[wanton whale]

forest cs

[untold mica]

do teams get rated in this thread

[tired gull]

we are fucked ahaha

personal terms agreed and apparently only £5m apart in valuation 💀

[latent depot]

what's happening with Wissa then

[cedar hull]

It's not looking good brev

[cedar hull]

Newcastle always needed 2 strikers

[lavish parcel]

Wissa to Liverpool then?

[cedar hull]

Esteve only got 7 cbit in both Sunderland matches last season, might go porro

But they have an entirely new squad now so who knows

[untold mica]

Im starting Esteve, easy choice

[broken patio]

One was a 1-0 Sunderland win
Other was 0-0 but Trafford saved 2 pens

[lone glade]

boys

do i sell frimpong to gabriel

or just bank ft and ply vdv

[untold mica]

why selling

[lone glade]

injured

[lavish parcel]

Porro scored in a 4-0 win same game last year

[untold mica]

really?

fuck my life

[novel harbor]

wolves are so fucked if jsl goes lol

[untold mica]

lets hope bradley is fit enough to start

could be a rough game at SJP

[lavish parcel]

it was Angeball ngl but I would do unspoken things if haaland blanks again

[untold mica]

can't see it happen

captaining Mo 🤞

[lavish parcel]

I said if*

[untold mica]

if he blanks i will be very happy 😂

[cedar hull]

Munoz is right there bro

[cedar hull]

Maybe bench neco

[untold mica]

start Neco or Munoz

[cedar hull]

Munoz

[latent depot]

Some predicted XIs with Devenny starting CAM for Palace

[modern vector]

he's starting today

[latent depot]

Shit is wild if we end up with 2x 4.5 starting CAMs in addition to 🦌

[cedar hull]

I mean palace are definitely signing someone

[untold mica]

ok, thank you

[wanton whale]

ez salaand drafts

[broken patio]

They're in for el khannous right?

[novel harbor]

who do we think spurs sign this window (if anyone)

[broken patio]

Savinho probs

[cedar hull]

Yes but so are spurs now, both as eze replacement

[prime plinth]

Villa want Jackson? Watkins and rogers looking good as long term picks

Would've went wood if this was the case

[limber pine]

You gave up FPL?

[prime plinth]

Not yet

[limber pine]

Or still going fella

[prime plinth]

Can't believe i got destroyed by 5.5s

Lucky gam3

Game

[limber pine]

No

[prime plinth]

Salah last-minute bs

Pure luck

[limber pine]

You just went with a horrible draft structure

Let’s be real

[prime plinth]

No i didn't

[limber pine]

No logic behind this

[limber pine]

U did

[prime plinth]

I have good captain every gw till haaland gw6

Fh4 salah

[limber pine]

Where is even the money at in your team?

[wanton whale]

no salah or haaland is just asking to do badly

[wanton whale]

https://tenor.com/view/nyet967100-jean-philippe-mateta-phatearl-crystal-palace-gif-7260117091681771051

[oak furnace]

wtf mateta scored in conference league

save it for the prem dawg

at least he's in form now

[lone thorn]

they played full strength, wonder if that will have an effect, game in 2days😬

[cedar hull]

they dont have any subs bro

they had 9 subs when the max they could have is 12

[lone thorn]

wtf, they're cooked man

Mateta gw4 still🔒

[cedar hull]

mateta defies logic dw

they better get el khannouss tho

cooked if not

such a great pickup

[obtuse shoal]

And they will have to show up for the return game as well.

[cedar hull]

they had 25 shots and 5 big chances

[obtuse shoal]

Too bad it wasn’t away first

[waxen river]

Bb2 we will be there

😭

[lone thorn]

what gw will that be do u know?

[broken patio]

0 0 0 12

[valid ocean]

Between 2 and 3

[lone thorn]

ty

[stone perch]

Fun fact: Tottenham has 0 world class player in their squad

[cedar hull]

steve parish says he knows palace squad is thin and will make signings fwiw

[hollow ermine]

Most were academy as well

[marsh palm]

@hollow ermine reckon this when we have the ball vs west ham

would be a 3-1-5-1

enzo false 10

this in defence/pressing

could be a 4-1-4-1

[oak furnace]

lmao cuc from left back to left 10

Douglas Luiz to forest

is this bad for Anderson

[limber pine]

Obviously not

[oak furnace]

bro he literally just joined

why would you say he didn't

[oak furnace]

need palace goal but also need forest CS

idk why i got mateta

if palace score needs to be mateta otherwise forest cs

only way it works

[slim bane]

Either way I win surely

[lavish parcel]

A goal from Mitchell assisted by Hughes will hit hard no?

[silent jasper]

Maybe I should bench one if Forest def and start Andersen from Fulham def

[oak furnace]

then they will get CS and you will cry

[twin ice]

Today is a good day as I've impulsively wildcarded

[lavish parcel]

Surely you get ekitike ahead of Watkins

No Liverpool attack is just

[oak furnace]

lmao

surely just get dubravka if you wildcard

then u can bench boost whenever

[lavish parcel]

Idk what the thought process was other than having 4 arsenal players

Casual AF

[oak furnace]

hes an arsenal fan

[marsh palm]

Might have to bench boost man

The scenes if Dubravka CS Porro return and Kroupi+Guiu play

On top of Sanchez CS + Esteve CS

[prime plinth]

This is ignoring salah has been and continues to be out of form

Gw1 is the "scary week" as no salah

[waxen river]

this is what im thinking

[marsh palm]

Show ur team

[silent jasper]

I still have another one so I lose one instead of 2 cs

[waxen river]

Have like the exact same bench as u

[marsh palm]

I would start Esteve over Porro fwiw

Im still contemplating a BB but I dont think I will, I'd be relying on a Dubravka CS since Kroupi and Guiu will likely get 1 point at most and Porro could get as low as 1 point assuming City do score a lot against them

@novel harbor do u see solio has dubravka over sanchez

i think im gonna still play sanchez since i have esteve over porro tho

also salah is now favoured more then palmer

[oak furnace]

everyone has 1 forest
you need 2 to have the advantange

[obtuse shoal]

Lol u want to bb with two forwards that don’t start and two Burnley defense who can very easily concede?

[marsh palm]

I dont think I will

I'd be relying on a Dubravka CS

[oak furnace]

sunderland scored 3 in gw1

[marsh palm]

Also they have higher CS odds then Chelsea, I dont think its true whatsoever hence why 1. Im going Sanchez and 2. Im not BBing but the markets think they're 2nd most likely to keep one

[oak furnace]

and everyone wants to field them gw2

[obtuse shoal]

Well i dont even see how you’d consider that to begin with.

[oak furnace]

cook out

sunderland will score

[marsh palm]

Because Burnley projections have only gone up since GW1 ended and Chelsea's have only gone down

I believe Sunderland scores so Im not going with Dubravka

[oak furnace]

id be betting on sunderland goal if i were a betting man

but im not

[obtuse shoal]

I’m counting on it.

[marsh palm]

Even if I believed they were gonna keep a clean sheet I have low risk tolerance to start the season so I'm going Esteve+Sanchez

[obtuse shoal]

Im benching both Esteve and dub

[silent jasper]

Not really
Some people in my ML dont even have a NFO def let alone having double up lol

[marsh palm]

Over who?

If you have Porro why even take the risk on if he hits G/A

[obtuse shoal]

Porro benched as well

[oak furnace]

sorry didnt realise your ml was the goal

[silent jasper]

No worries man!
Having nice overall would be cool as well
Are you banking your FT by the way? I think I am

[novel harbor]

ye i mean it was everyones plan from the beginning even without solvers

dubravka esteve gw2

[marsh palm]

"Everyones"

Chelsea bias or not I cant go Dubravka over Sanchez when I just saw Sunderland score 3, Burnley concede 3 and Chelsea concede 0

Esteve over Porro sure tho cause he'll probably get CBIT

[novel harbor]

oh my bad i thought u said vicario

sanchez > dubravka gw2 probs tbh

[oak furnace]

yeh i amatm

[rugged meteor]

I wouldn't have thought this. It would be teams with low possession who play a counter-attacking game i.e. NFO or the big guns vs teams who have setup to park the bus

[novel harbor]

^

[silent jasper]

Nice

[oak furnace]

i really wanna get rid of kelleher but its not gonna get me enough points to be worth it

i wish i started kelleher dubravka tbh

then i would field dubravks

[rugged meteor]

interesting. Surprised me slightly.

[hallow anchor]

Both teams in a game have the same number of possessions

So same number of recoveries

Other factors I suppose a shitty team may get more

[cerulean cape]

Fpl is boring already, no wonder mcgrrr tunes out after gw1

[sterile tree]

Andersen 💀

[oak furnace]

Fuck idk who to c

mo, cole, ollie

[broken patio]

Salah

[proud gale]

do we still like munoz with eze gone lads

[oak furnace]

Yeh Munoz probs involved more

[cerulean cape]

@latent depot dub or sels

[cedar hull]

Id go dub if you have Murillo personally

[cerulean cape]

I have double forest def

And esteve pmaying

Playing

Tbh the answer is sels

Ezeless palace is toothless

And played thurs too

[lone glade]

i did frimpong to gab

i didnt wanna use the ft

[cedar hull]

Ah yeah it's different with esteve playing

[cerulean cape]

Youre cooking

[oak furnace]

I'm fielding Kelleher 🔥

mateta and Kelleher gotta be my worst 2 picks

if i get 1 return from either of them and 0 price drops before i wildcard I'll be happy

[cedar hull]

Don't see why mateta is an awful pick

[oak furnace]

eze sold

playing90 mins midweek

evanilson right there

then 5.0 keeper

[cedar hull]

It's really not that bad

[lone glade]

idk

i like my team tho

[cedar hull]

He's guaranteed pens , and they aren't gonna completely capitulate due to eze

[cerulean cape]

It could be like when zaha was there

Had relegation form when he was out

[cedar hull]

Doubt that, they are a lot better team now

I know they played a bad team yesterday, but 25 shots and 5 big chances without eze is fine

[oak furnace]

Didn't Eze play yesterday?

[cedar hull]

nah

[silent jasper]

It's early to tell still
Don't forget Glasner will try to bring an attacker in since Eze is sold imo
He is pretty good as a manager to me

[cedar hull]

yeah exactly

people overstate how much 1 player impacts a team

like yeah regression expected, but they arent gonna drop off a cliff

[silent jasper]

So when we are doubting him its like saying Palace turns into Wolves or something, it clearly isn't

Or even Brentford

[cedar hull]

plus matetas guaranteed pens now

so it somewhat evens out

[silent jasper]

Hopefully Sarr dont hijack em

[marsh palm]

Olise was a bigger loss and they looked just fine without him

[cedar hull]

nah no chance

was already competing with eze, then scored 2 against pool

[marsh palm]

Mateta is now 100% pen share

Overall attack goes down but probably a + for Munoz

Still think double Palace in GW4 is the plan if im gonna WC7

[cedar hull]

lets hope they get el khannouss

[cerulean cape]

Enciso tbh would have been great

[marsh palm]

Hehe

Satpaev and Enciso in 4 years time

[cerulean cape]

Or buonanotte

[marsh palm]

Next to Estevao Quenda Palmer

[cerulean cape]

Enciso won't play for chelsea

[marsh palm]

Why not if he performs

[cerulean cape]

Cos you have 4 other cams ahead

[marsh palm]

Who says we cant play 5 CAMs

[cerulean cape]

1 good year strasbourg

And sell for 45m

To west ham

Dortmund

[cedar hull]

dont rate enciso tbh

as highly as others anyway

[cerulean cape]

That's why hes only 20m

Brighton would demand 50m if he was good

[supple steeple]

Buonanotte > Ensico

[quick dawn]

we playing esteve over porro?

[hollow ermine]

He’s cash cow anyway

[quick dawn]

i should have gotten reinildo then bench boosted, poor planning

[hollow ermine]

No point in even considering ability

[cerulean cape]

Playing both esteve and porro

3 points

[latent depot]

Think I'm benching Dubravka for Sels. Tired Ezeless Palace. Let's be honest, they're both prob conceding

I like the differential swing of triple Forest defence and no Burnley CS

Too many with double Burnley defence, some on BB, need them mudded

[novel harbor]

W

[prime plinth]

Random ange link to forest and i got triple forest defense

Am I cooked?

[latent depot]

Nonsensical after the job Nuno has done

[cedar hull]

wasnt the point but okay

[hollow ermine]

I’m aware

[prime plinth]

I doubt it is legit but the source is someone I've seen around

No idea why they would unless the friction is goes beyond nuno's interview

[quick dawn]

I would not hire ange lol

[prime plinth]

Could be an easy interaction farm given people can link marinakas to ange through the award and Greek background

[prime plinth]

Someone will. His record in total is ridiculous

[hollow ermine]

Nottingham Forest is considering sacking Nuno Espírito Santo.

Tensions between the ownership and the Portuguese manager also stem from certain signings made during this transfer window.

This is what Nuno told Sky Sports a week ago: “We're very far behind in terms of our squad. The plans we had didn't work out. The squad preparations weren't ideal. We don't know what squad we have. We have players working here who know they're going to go on loan. We have a big problem.”

The English club is already evaluating other managers.

[quick dawn]

Yes but forest shouldnt

Hope they finish bottom half if they sack nuno tbh

[hollow ermine]

T1 Portuguese news but obviously not existent for England itself

So we’ll see

Marinakas is a weird guy

So

[oak furnace]

apparently Postecoglou to forest could be on

would be fucking massive

i miss Ange

[prime plinth]

Ange also has the Greek link to marinakis. Anyway. Hope and expect nuno to be safe for now and presume just noise for clicks

[quick dawn]

Sell forest defence instantly

[oak furnace]

nah

[prime plinth]

My triple defense is shaking

[oak furnace]

ange defence is usually good

spurs issue was injuries to defenders

[prime plinth]

Tbf we were a top 4 team when the main back 4 played in any comp

[oak furnace]

ye

ange usually known for his defence

[prime plinth]

Forest still don't have high line cbs really

So anyway

Realistically my cbs are safe

For fpl

Locked in with sels benched for dubravka. Might sneak porro in late

Palmer 1st game. Gandhi is waiting

[hollow ermine]

Forest can do much better than Nuno rn cause of much he fits the players

[hollow ermine]

Forest don’t have high line defenders and the wingbacks aren’t exactly Porto

[prime plinth]

I mean we can't disrespect nuno

Nuno has done a great job

Only chance nuno leaves is if they have behind the scenes issues beyond normal issues

[cedar hull]

disrespecting nuno tf
