I checked the T&C and it looks like they're going to reward everyone with the correct answers right? No limit, no fastest finger. Or am I missing something? I have more than $5 on my BC account. I have no idea about this teams so I'm gonna follow the bookies odds on this one. 

Arsenal team will always find a way to concede in the second half - what a useless team.

Lol… I care very little on Arsenal having to concede, I've got no Raya or any Arsenal defender in my ranks but, they did good for those who had them last GW. Gabriel was just making the rounds and points. It was a hard to believe GW for me, falling below average but this GW seems to start on a good course. Someone I was really looking up to for a goal was Saka and he managed it. So many other attempts from him came with a deflection off target else, some good points would have come off having to captain him.

Still didn’t manage to buy E. Haaland, sure we would be seeing him in this GW? I’ll be watching but, his sure to have his return on my team in the weeks to come, I think.

I didn't get Haaland back yet either at least not for the current game week, I'll probably stick to that plan even after this game to be sure he's very fit and Guardiola would not be having him on heavy minutes rotation, it probably takes less than 30 minutes on a good day for Haaland to make his significant mark, so coming off or going to the bench early might not really matter, I just want to be sure he's pretty much okay now and wouldn't be returning to the sidelines after just a game or two.

Salah should be back in England soon right ? and could be up for the game against Arsenal on Sunday right ?

I am more worried about KDB than Haaland right now tbh.

Speaking of which, everyone in his league seems to be doing battle with Haaland vs KDB vs Foden captaincy.

He is injured right now so probably not until GW24/5 at the earliest.

Most of us will take a City player as a captain, yeah.
I went with Alvarez, I expect him to play close to 90 minutes even if Haaland gets his cameo appearance.

KDB almost certainly won't go full 90 minutes and unfortunately I don't have Foden who feels like the best pick for this game.

Yesterday was mediocre for me, it's important just to survive before I wildcard. The next few GW's will be extremely important.

I wasn't expecting De Bruyne to be in the starting eleven this week. I still gave him a place in my squad by taking a risk. I assume that he would be able to last for 60 minutes today. I see Haaland among the substitutes as well. It is nearly time to transfer him for the double gameweek too.

By the way it doesn't look right to me that Haaland's price has become 14.0 million again. I think the game admins are absolutely interfering in the prices directly.

I can't say for sure but I'm certain that at least 50% of everyone that sold Haaland have gotten him back after he was seen in training and was seen during their FA cup clash with Tottenham even if he didn't feature. For KDB, he was the only the transfer I made this week. Brought him in and looks like luck is on my side such that he is on the starting line up.

For GW25, I'll use my free hit chip as I won't garner enough free transfers before that week to make the necessary changes that I'd like to make. Good luck btw.

Why would anyone bring Haaland back before this GW? It was clearly communicated that he will not start and will only get some minutes. He also looked a bit rusty which is understandable but I still plan to bring him in for Alvarez/Watkins.

I want triple City but don't think Alvarez will have the minutes now that both KDB and Haaland are back.

Some managers are risk takers. Risks with luck gets it done sometimes. I have no plans to get Haaland now until gw25 because I'm sure that he would feature on both games that will be played. And yes, I watched Haaland today when he came on for KDB and his teammates kept giving him opportunities but he blew it all. Contrary to what you think about Alvarez, I do think that he would still get some considerate game time in the team. The person that might get reduced playing time is Foden Tbh.

The English Refs and VAR are trying so hard to hand over the EPL trophy to LiVarpool to celebrate Klopp farewell. This was by far the worse officiating this season. It was so obvious they didn't try to hide it. Lol

That's what you get for stealing Lavia just kidding, but seriously, why is everyone still sleeping on Diogo and Toney? Their ownership in this ML hardly went up at all, and they're putting in equal or better shifts than KDB.

This Connor Bradley guy is also a gigachad for 4.0m.

And the Lavia has been sleeping in the hospital since we got him; LiVarpool can have him if it means we have a fair officiated game.

Re:Toney and Jota- It's difficult to get any of them in right now, unless those with WC and for the Connor Bradley Guy don't worry. Chilwell and Badiashile made him look prime Dani Alves I promise you he isn't that special. There was an evident foul on Chilwell on that goal, but VAR turned off the camera. if you want to see how VAR works, watch AFCON.

I'm activating WC next GW I've had enough.

I feel so undone by my choice of captain this week, I had three Man City players Foden, Alvarez, and De Bruyne, but I couldn't make the right captaincy choice and went for KDB, my hunch was on Alvarez this whole time, but I felt he could be the scapegoat for Haaland apparent return and get a smaller playing time even though I was sure he'd start.

Decisions might get back to being a tough one, so many players are getting back Maddison already is, and in a couple of game weeks we'll be getting player on international duty, One of the biggest problem would involve solving which midfield combinations to use.

This week was a perfect example why FPL should always be looked at from few weeks perspective and not single games. Saka, Watkins and Alvarez all blanked in the past and everyone started talking how they should be sold and then they all delivered this GW.

On the other hand all 5 of my defenders had returns last week and this week all 5 of them together got me 3 points. Still the same players and no reason to sell.

@igebotz, our resident Chelsea expert, what's the deal with colwill injury?

It is nuts, because that was exactly the same situation I had with my defenders too.

I'm thinking Haaland and Walker definitely start next GW though, so when today's games end, then will be the best time to buy him before his price (stupidly) goes up to 14.1 because of the dark arts that is the price change algorithm intricacies. Already I'm a bit annoyed that he's 14.0 right now

[Igebotz]

@igebotz, our resident Chelsea expert, what's the deal with colwill injury?

Ignored the football hest last night like it never happened. Well, typical LiVarpool fan.

Well, Colwill has began his rehabilitation program and should be available next game, he should be available and starting ahead of Badiashile against Wolves.

Got 4 different goal scorers and none had the captain band on. Lol.

I'm sometimes having difficulties in understanding the game admins' moves. Alvarez scored 2 goals yesterday but after that his price went down. As long as he is healthy I think he will be in the starting eleven in the Brentford match on the 5th of February. I started to think about whether to continue with Trent Alexander-Arnold. I wonder whether he will manage to get the shirt from Bradley against Arsenal away.

So that means people take him out hence his price dropped? Could it be because Haaland has already played and with KDB back on the team as well, chances are higher that KDB and Haaland could be starting together?

Anyway, I changed my captain from Alvarez to KDB. I could have another 13 points from Alvarez if I didnt change it but extra 7 points from KDB will do for now but still it sucks when you thought you made a good decision but in the end it wasnt

It isn't about what player does. It is only about transfers in and out, seems like players are selling him for Haaland like I will do probably as well. Only problem they are doing it early, what if we get news Haaland felt his foot and will miss another month news? Not gonna happen probably but why risk it? Never gonna understand urge to do transfers early, if all waited for last day nobody would have a problems with price rises/falls.

Also want Toney so who knows what move I will end up doing.
