What a "Cole"!!! from Palmer, that's some beautiful style of football from Chelsea, I've always said, give Palmer an open space or free role and he'd work some magic!, I hope Poch is seing why clogging the midfield with Enzo, Caceido and Gallagher is not going to bring out the best from his attacking play makers, all he needs is just two of the three, but regardless the selection Caceido should sure be in the mix, and Enzo is nothing too expensive to have on of start from the bench, if its for the greater purpose of the team.

forgot to make some changes to my team before deadline
festive season at it best

not sure what I would do, so it could be a good thing after all, since Haaland doesn't play from start and wouldn't onboard others from City, will be interesting, and 2 transfers next week

Haaland is ruled out until January 13th according to the FPL site injury status, it's going to be very interesting to see how people will select their captain without Haaland, Salah, Son, even the currently red hot Kudus and Chelsea's Jackson too are going to be on the leave for international duties.

These are times that will really differentiate between good FPL managers from the nothing but just trend-bandwagons.

Not really, there isn't a single manager out there that can predict things perfectly for one GW. Really good managers make good decisions whole season and towards the end it tells, since majority of their decisions work out ok. FPL is just a game of numbers and it all sort of comes back to the mean sooner or later.

In any single GW variance is just too high and nobody can predict that other then bet on easier fixtures and top players.

I am very glad I captured Palmer's monster haul, and there's a haul in progress for my captain Watkins too. I almost gave the armband to Alvarez but I thought he would have some bad luck against Sheffield United after he had just returned last gameweek.

At any rate, I still need some more GAs from my team in order to clear the 20-point gap you Solanke owners created in GW18. Still haven't recovered from it, it seems.

Maybe it's time for Watkins to bring on the big guns and deliver whilst star players go on international duties. Watkins is now the best forward in terms of returns in the FPL this season. I know this is due to Haaland's injury but Watkins has something. Who is going to miss Jackson?  I know he got an assist today but his returns are considerably low compared to the number of chances and services and do receive.

That Palmer's second half was lit. I thought he'd miss it after that defender tracked him back but he was "cole" and calm till the finishing. But Chelsea was lucky to get out with a win today.

Yeah, I understand and the point trying make is that those fews that these top players with be out for will determine quite a number of things, just take look at how yourself and Morvillz7z manage your teams, you know that either of you might not win a single game round as the top point scorer, but you'll fancy you chances over a 38 games period for no other reason than the fact the logic will eventually pay off in a long term approach over just luck, no illogical manager will be lucky for 38 games, while no logical manager will be unlucky for 38 games as well, so If we put the former and latter manager together, in my opinion the logical manager will always have the edge in a very good ratio, compared to the other.

Another captaincy wromg decision from me, and it will destroy my rank. I have Parmer, Salah, Watkins, Alvarez, and Nkunku, and I fuckingly gave Nkunku the hand band in an attempt to play a dangerous mind game, and it backfired, the school teacher Poch decided to be stupid and left him on the bench, he's fully recovered, and I don't understand why he's being managed like some academy kids.

And if that wasn't enough, Badiashile was benched after playing 90 mins against Crystal Palace. Poch, you're so funny.

I left Hae chan on the bench after he took a knock in the last match, not knowing he was going to start.

I have the perfect team, but I am unable to manage these players.

Why doesn't Watkins take the pens for villa?

I just got rid of Haaland and got Alvarez in, as for the captain I put it in Alvarez this week. Probably gonna shift around Alvarez or Son depending on how it goes but probably Solanke might be my option as well. Aside from striker, I personally think that putting the captain band on goalkeeper might be a decent idea as well provided that the goalkeeper could keep a clean sheet then that would be around 6-8 points so double from that would be pretty decent if there isnt anyone good enough to put that captain band on

[buwaytress]

Eh, kept Ake on bench and he goes and gets 6 points heh. On the plus side my new boy D Luiz scored a late winner to get some good points on the table for me, even if I did have Ollie on me team already (but indeed, as Hhampuz asks, why?).

6 players left to play, I'm feeling good here.

That sounds suspiciously like Chelsea's mantra...

[NotATether]

Because Watkins misses his pens half the time, you literally do not want him to take pens for this reason because you will actually lose points from that. Whereas Douglas Luiz has a near perfect conversion rate.

HOLD DAT!!!!!Hahah fuck Watkins he's on everyone's team and beside Douglas Luiz is the first choice PK taker for Aston villa, this is not his first this season.

Douglas Luiz late goal is blessing in disguise at last and Ghehi 5 points Auto sub for Badiashile at the back. I'm eating good finally.

Take Chelsea out of your mouth

As I thought that Manchester City would win by a much bigger difference I transferred Alvarez and made him the captain. Even though the score wasn't like I expected I can say that I'm a little relieved by Alvarez's scoring a goal. The players who keep Palmer in their squad this week have caught a really big advantage.

[Woodie]

Haaland staying out of action for the time being seems to have freed up resources for my team who should be back after the international break there about, and my alternative striker being Alvarez seems to be paying off at the moment and can't really complain and am impressed with this lads point retention , wish I knew about him earlier  #GG_Alvarez

Villa team of the moment

Otherwise with the assists and goals to his name, isn't this enough to give Watkins the confidence to take the penalties like any other good striker out there I bet those misses have left him traumatised not to try them anytime soon

Palmer is a must have right now, he's the best assest from Chelsea right, one of the best in form FPL midfielders and he's for a price bargain, the cheapeast in terms of points per game in relation to player's value.

Nkunku would be another another gem to behold, especially with Jackson inminent departure from the club for AFCON.


-----------------------

Mamchester Losenited at it again, this time it's against Nottingham, how a lot of people are still very convinced that Ten Hag would finish this season as Man United manager is something I don't understand, tbh.

[cryptofrka]

Palmer with a perfect game, but everybody in the top of our table's got him - so nobody profits.
We're entering an interesting period with AFCON and Asian Cup, hopefully my strategy will help me move up the table.

I was dumb enough to think that Haaland would return after the CL games, so that's 14 million I'm benching in this round again. Stupid mistakes that will cost me some $.

This is his first bad season, so I don't see why you're already asking for his head; after two bad seasons, some of you were clamouring for Arteta's sacking; if the Arsenal board had listened to the mobs, where do you think the club would be now? What United lacks is quality; I doubt anyone will survive with the present squad.

If you think he'll be fired before the end of the season, I'd like to place a side bet with you.

Any coach could have bad a season, and their current run of form isn't why I think he will get sacked before the end of the season, but his tactics is my main point of concern, and when a team isn't playing really well and the coach look short of ideas every second on the sideline you don't expect club owners to stick around with them for too long, and he would soon fall out with another fan favorite player and blame him for their poor form, Maguire was at some point a scape goat(yeah Maguire was indeed awful, but has gotten better), Ronaldo, Sancho, and I really think there some dressing room trouble, Rashford and Bruno have lost their mojo, perhaps, every player does at some point, having played incredibly year in year out under different managers. However, the lack of hunger or sense of urgency from the team best players for only God knows why, and again, regardless of their performance no proffesioner player likes their coach getting used to finding scape goats amongst the team when the going gets tough.

Yeah that is a problem when somebody is such an obvious choice, you can't even be happy with hauls like that. Effective ownership is a bitch, especially when you go against most popular captain pick.

So strategy is made but you are not sharing it? Top secret one I see.
I was planning on selling both but now that I see how much money I would loose if I do that, I am not so sure. Cool 0.5M for each, so 1M less in the bank to have after I bought them back and I know I will want to do that.
