I'm feeling myself this desperate for the first time this season. Semenyo and Bradley who I got for this week got injured and this ruined all of my plans. I assume that I'm going to make 3 transfers in return for -8 points. What do you think about the Haaland topic? Do you think that I should continue to keep him in my squad? Or should I continue on my way without Haaland just as cryptofrka?

City has double in GW37, if they aren't champions by then. We will all want Haaland for sure. This week he is also injury concern but they don't actually play before Thursday. Problem with GW34 is that most of the players you want this week are useless after it passes. Fine line to thread, still deciding what to do myself.

Semenyo is fit according to latest press info. bradley is out for whole month so he has to go.

Trent is back anyway, so Bradley ain't playing. Haaland isn't worth it IMO, but he can kill you in 1 game if you go without him.

Unlike Arsenal where you can anticipate and predict the starting the lineup for each game, being out of the UCL might probably not make any difference in what to anticipate from Guardiola, to be honest, maybe except Ederson in goal, I don't know who from the Man City squad is guaranteed a premium playing time.

You know that Foden will be getting most of the minutes for sure.

Why, what am I missing?

CP is the team to go for if you want good differentiators, I wanted Eze but didn't have any transfers left so I'm stuck with Hee Chan.

I have just learned about the news related to Semenyo. This would change things in a positive way for me. I think that Manchester City are going to become the champions. However as this race is going to continue until the final week I assume that keeping Haaland in my squad is a much better idea as you said as well.

Today we duel. I see that you and Igebotz both have Salah captained, but I have gone for the cutting edge and got single GW Bruno Fernandes against Sheffield United.

He will definitely play all 90 minutes of that even though there is an FA cup semifinal, but in case he gets injured, it reverts to a boring Salah (VC).

Not like any of that is going to matter as Liverpool and Arsenal have been putting stinkers lately.

Expect Everton ie Pickford to get obliterated again as well (by Forest, not Liverpool).

In short term? Next week both Chelsea and Spurs have 2 games so we will want many players from these 2. This week Chelsea is against Arsenal and Spurs have no game. I am sure many managers decided to ditch their assets and will then be buying them again.

I believe I played that right with having my bench full of them this week. Foden transfer is the one that will cost me a lot. First I bring him and he did not play last GW, now i sold him to fund -8 moves to DGW players and then i will want him back. Need some points from those that I brought in, so far, it didn't work.

Longer term? Liverpool players. Everyone wants 3 this week I don't think I want anybody except maybe Salah after it passes. Arsenal maybe the same.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Fuck i was traveling and forget to change my team, what an idiot.

It was a super chance to put some players with double round, but well at least im not fighting for anything at all, so no real damage. I also forget to put a few picks on superbru, i dont know why really.

Maybe i was thinking of playing the Bench Boost but well, is gonna be used in other round. Like Trofo say next round with Spurs and Chelsea players maybe.

Spurs have Arsenal and Chelsea in their DGW, Chelsea's got Villa and Spurs. I'll be happy to skip them all, I went for this week's doubles (Liverpool and Arsenal).
Long-term Spurs have a horrible schedule, LFC does not. IMO you need Chelsea players in GW36, and City and Newcastle players as soon as possible.

[Rruchi man]

IMO you need Chelsea players in GW36,

Among all the choices to pick from in Chelsea, there are a few reliable options, and Nicholas Jackson is not one of them IMO.

Who saw Manchester City against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals? Jackson missed too many chances to score and help Chelsea get to the finals, at least giving them a chance to win something this season. He wasted everything and did not look remorseful; he is a very unreliable player.

My non-expert opinion leans here for Spurs and Chelsea -- I didn't throw out any players I already did have -- oh wait, no Spurs players, so it's just Palmer on my team, so not sure I'd do anything different.

Liverpool and Arsenal I already packed up anyway but I actually did the dumb switcheroo and also packed Everton players but, left 2 on the bench (Pickford + Branthwaite). They're already 12 points together, and will probably score 0 in the Merseyside derby, so I'm happy anyway and if Liverpool somehow fail, I get some consolation points.

My Raya already has a nice 10 points so I don't mind if Chelsea win narrow.

[Harkorede]

Liverpool with the best set of fixtures for the double game week, but with Salah, Nunez, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister all being on the bench, Please, explain fuckery \fʌckery\ in a more subtle and simpler term, I'll wait.

[Igebotz]

I was surprised you dropped one of your double Arsenal defences; I was confident they'd keep a clean sheet against Wolves, but not sure about Chelsea. Today is the day I reclaim my right position from you. I banked he entire DGW on Mateta, our differential hero.

Coventry forcing Manchester United into extra time after trailing 0-3 is excellent news for non-Bruno captains. Going to play a big role in his upcoming game fitness.

I need Salah to come on and finish the game with two goals and 1 assist. Klopp come on!!!

Mission impossible - 

[darbitmobilerecovery]

What a difficult decision to make and also to follow when we have this rounds where some teams play for the Premier League and other plays for FA and some players play two games for the gameweek who counts for Fantasy and others dont, and more if you want to spend some of the special tricks like bench boost or triple captain.

I forgot to change my goalkeeper and pickford collect a clean sheet.

[NotATether]

I need Salah to come on and finish the game with two goals and 1 assist. Klopp come on!!!

Not happening with his current form, or against Everton of all teams.

My plan was to do Wood => Mateta but then I realized that I have no good midfielder to captain. I would not take a risk with Saka or Salah - as you guys will soon find out - so I brought in someone who's actually on form to make my captain.

It also means no taking hits like CLS63. Now all I need is a goal or two against Sheffield United, with the worst defense in the league right now (except for West Ham  ) and I can easily overtake you back to the #1 spot.

BTW - 10 Rags is not going to drop Bruno even if he loses his legs. I mean look at Rashford right now. He's playing like dogshit this season and he still starts every game.

I had no idea what I saw in Salah; he's been nothing but a headache since I got him; he's my captain, and he just dropped a stinker; I can only hope he returns with a brace against Everton's awful defence.

Udogie is out for the remainder of the season—one FT waisted.

Jota looks like an idea Salah replacement for me, but we are in a phase where strategy should be kept hidden  Choosing not to take a hit was an excellent decision.

Nobody is taking about Buwaytress he's been low-key building from the back and now in second position from 4th position.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Yes Salah performance for Fantasy is falling apart like Liverpool prformance in this last weeks, is very hard to throw him because you never know when he is gonna wake up and score a lot of goals or bring assits. And if you clean him for your team is gonna dificult to buy him again from the market, is gonna be a lose of money and points.

I think he's on 3 goals in the last 13 appearances, something like that. I track it occasionally because of my bet with icopress, one I'm surely losing now.
The issue is that Liverpool's offensive play is simply not on a good level right now - we scored most of our recent goals from set pieces and have huge issues with converting our chances.

Liverpool doesn't have a difficult schedule and I do expect Salah to play all the minutes until the end of the season, but Klopp isn't happy with his recent contribution and it's clear to see. Based on current form (both Salah's and Liverpool's), there are many better options for captain right now.

It's just taking a while for Salah to understand his role with whichever striker is partnered up there, and he's not getting enough minutes or consistency I think. He is playing all right, just he and Nunez are my vice and captains and didn't get enough minutes... Salah's low cross to Nunez should have been a goal usually Nunez just throws himself at it but this time he weirdly lost pace.

And shush, no one needs to know about my mini-renaissance, hoping the Everton game makes up for the 3 Liverpool piddling returns. My captaincy on Nunez is killing me but... I will persevere for now.

How am I hearing these names only on the forum haha. Rashie is like that little nonce at school the teacher refuses to punish just because he did one cute project that got him a medal.

Buwaytress is waiting for the day to be the champion and mock all of us. I was waiting for much better returns from my Liverpool players this week however I couldn't become successful about this.

In the main league GATTACA is threatening me for my 5th position seriously. By the way it is a brave triple captain usage by spack17. I got surprised that you kept this chip until this time mate.

Salah continues to ruin my every chance of getting ahead by some points. Don’t think it would have made much difference as most of y’all have him the band too but, his not been meeting up with the standard we’ve know him to play for and if not for the DG, I don’t see why he would have persisted on my team. Like you, I’ll like to see him perform against Liverpool but for Nunez, I don’t have him on my team though, he wouldn’t have been a bad asset but, the DG isn’t one that comes with much promises with Nunez as, his widely known to perform just above average in a game and can’t even average others.

Seems you all had all your teams packed with DG team players, it was surprising. I wonder what chip was made available that I’m not using. Still got a my two chips left and might just put that to good use in the coming GW.

You're complaining about Salah ? after hitting a gem with Jean-Phillip Mateta ? I guess you'd have had more too to say if you've had Cunha only for it to blow back on your face. I had thought about Mateta too and Solanke for double, but going in too early cost me dearly one that.

Salah still have again to make amends and you can be sure that he'd get the nod there no doubt right ? I can't speak the same of Darwin (whom I've got), I knew it was just a matter of time before Jota finds his way back to the starting XI.

And the so much precious chip (bench boot) that I've been planning on its usage for the past 5-6 game weeks is now only going to be nothing short of significant adverse effect of my round, especially with Haaland out, Areola not playing and Doughty on negative points  Typical FPL-chip curse.
