Yeah, I knew he wasn't going to start, which is why I didn't captain him, but he'll be useful in the next GW and beyond.

throwed a coin, and captained Alvarez over KDB
and backfired, DeBruyne is too good to play few minutes and score/assist, while Alvarez didn't do anything

nevertheless, Gordon scored as well, so it is not too bad after all
onwards to Sunday matches, hope for a good round nevertheless

Only problem, KDB is damn good player and he outscored Alvarez by 10 points today. He needed 20 minutes for 12 points, pure class. And he could have gotten even more if Alvarez scored on his assist.

And I still don't want him until he builds his match fitness which could end up being problematic for me since everyone will buy him after today.

The moment he came on and assisted a goal against Huddersfield, I figured it was the best time to sign him before his price spiked and it worked out.

He's still the only game changer type of player in the EPL, and he makes every minute count. I'm beginning to wonder why I didn't captain him. Lol

Alvarez is a piece of shit and Badiashile didn't play a single minute against Fulham that's a cleansheet point down the drain.

Watching KDB come on today and changing the game with that Goal and assist to help city wrap up another 3 points on the road was more than enough reason for me to get him. I'm sure a lot of people are. His price is about to add +0.1 in the coming week as managers flock in to sign him.

Now that the Double Game week for City has been announced (at gw 25), Getting KDB now might be a risk worth taking if he ends up delivering points in those two fixtures.

He'd be a 1-week punt for me in that case.

Why are we still tied on points? It is quite strange what is going on this week.

I'm one of the managers that would be getting him, DeBruyne have just reminded us that he doesn't need 90 minutes to have is finger and footprints all over an entire game. Looks like there is no need to overthink what could happen to Sallah in the next few game weeks whether or not his team gets eliminated in the group stage, there is no reason no to have KDB now, I'd agree too. However, if game week 25 is the only why anyone else wants to get, he would cost just one transfer too, so why sweat over that rn ?

[cryptofrka]

KDB is one of the best players in the world and personally, the best player in the PL.
Barely ready to play or in full form, he's still the first player on my team.

12 points is a lucky haul considering that he did not start the game, but I plan to play him the whole time that he's getting back in top form and I do think he'll bring the points.
Everything in City's team revolves around him when he's on the pitch. When Haaland returns, they will be deadly together.

At least wait until the next GW is closer before buying him, who knows who will get injured and will be required to sell.

You may know already who to buy, but if you don't know who to sell then it's like playing FPL blind-folded.

easy to decide while Salah is away, but will be a bit harder when he is back, still, will stick with KDB at the moment
Everton and Villa shared points in longest playing top flight derby, and while I have three defenders from these two teams, happy to have scoreless game, although wished three pointer for Everton
wasn't realistic

[buwaytress]

Whoops, forgot to clear me squad out as I initially thought Toffees-Villains would blank (so far so true) but City sitters all scored poorly so I'm happy I got Raya in for Ederson. Palmer no brainer, glad I bought into that hype. Just a tad higher than the average on a squad I wasn't sure in, but plenty left to play for. Don't even need to look at United-Spurs game as I've got no one from either team. United fans celebrating maybe... Regret or smart move? A whole week left to find out, huh?

Palmer is no hype, I'd say he's probably the best bargain buy right for what he provides in relation to how much he cost, If Chelsea were to be a very goal offensively efficient team, he'd sure be top in the FPL points for MD position, he creates way too many chances that get squandered upfront, and the weakness he's got imo is just that he's not very good shooter too, in terms of power and precision especially outside the box.

You can't expect a player that young to have everything. He will only get better with time and his main job should always be creating for strikers. Only problem Chelsea strikers don't know how to finish a chance so now he has to score as well.

So far he has surpassed every expectation I had about him. I thought that transfer was poor for all the parties (Chelsea, City, Palmer) but in the end it was poor just for City. No shame in admitting I was wrong.


Werner right in Spurs squad. Did not expect him this soon but injuries forced manager hand. Richarlison goal will come handy since nobody at the top of our pool has it except for me. Again with strong bench so now I don't mind if some of my players miss the game (Gordon 7, Porro 6, Walker 6) Was a tactic for this week since there is 7 days before some teams like Arsenal play their game. Higher than usual chance of injuries after deadline.

[Spack17]

I thought more people would use wildcard at top this week however I was wrong. I guess that I need to preserve my free transfer rights to prepare myself. Because I thought KDB's price would rise after the Newcastle match I transferred him right after the match. Also Manchester City have a double-match week on gw25.

[darxiaomi]

I ended up playing with one less player this round, thanks to Pau Torres, in other things, what happen again with Nkunku? Man he was my As in the sleeve, but his in cronic injury seems like.

[buwaytress]

Werner did okay, didn't he though? I watched most of the game, had money on Spurs so shame they didn't win but I thought it was going to be
 show once they equalised so early in 2nd half but like Trofo, I was really, really surprised they started him. Nice call on Richarlison, actually really hope he shows up more often. Defence like United you need to take advantage off in numbers.

Glad I didn't take Konsa off as I wanted as he returned a standard 6.

That was the whole thinking behind my KdB buy. The double game week, should be peak KdB before he gets injured again heh heh.

I know it's pointless for me at this point, but I keep thinking I really have to up my game with this FPL stuff, every season I keep thinking I can commit but I miss a few simple things here and there, so really just trying to put up some small wins to keep my flagging motivation up.

[arallmuus]

myself. Because I thought KDB's price would rise after the Newcastle match

Actually it was 10.3 and its 10.4. Well I guess most people have removed Salah and Son so the 0.1 increase wont really make any differences to most of us so yeah its an easy transfer for sure. On the game between Manchester City and Newcastle, KDB shows his class so its only about time that he will make it to the first squad playing full 90 minutes thus racking more points

And that is my problem with KDB. Players after returning from long injury are much more suspect to get injured again. Just as it happened with Nkunku. KDB is world class but he looked winded even in 30 minutes he played this week. I don't think he is nowhere near fitness levels to play every 90 mins every game in PL. Question is how much he can do with maybe half of the minutes available? Probably enough

[cryptofrka]

My Haaland story is fascinating. I was without him for 15 GW's, then took him too early in GW19 (Everton), which made me have a 14 mil player for 3 GW's without him playing 1 minute.
Now I took him off the team again and replaced him with Alvarez, so expect him to make a miraculous recovery and score a hattrick against Burnley.

Whatever I do, I just hope I'll remain near the top 5 until Salah and Son return - I need to wildcard as soon as possible.

You make the transfer with intent to screw yourself when you do it this early. I mean this current GW is still running for a week and there is 15 days to next deadline. City squad is training in Dubai, why wouldn't you wait to hear the news?

My plan is Alvarez to Haaland for this week if he is back. So exact opposite of your transfer.

I always feel like the price will drop by 0,5 mil if he's not ready to play. Then again, his price has barely moved throughout the season - which shows how wrong I still am with such things.
Most this year's mistakes I did for 2 reasons - thinking price moves way faster and forgetting that I can make more than 1 transfer (by using -4 points penalties).

Next year I'm gonna win this shit.

[Igebotz]

Next year I'm gonna win this shit.

There is no need for a lot of experience because FPL is 80% luck and 20% strategy. I said the same thing last season after coming #5; I felt I had learned enough to challenge for the title this season, but now I'm stuck somewhere in the middle. Ali (FPL Gunz), who won the FPL last season and wrote a book on how to win a few weeks ago, is nothing close to Top #10k this season. You may be adept at making transfers and saving money on fees, but if Newcastle United fails to win a game in the last seven, you cannot be blamed. 

Watkins blanking in 5 GWs.

Arsenal moving from 1st to 4th.

Newcastle moving from 4th to 10th.

You have to be very lucky to survive all this.
