Well? How did you guys do today? Almost 50 pts for me with half of those points coming from two Newcastle players, not too shabby

That goal from Almiron, omg, what a beauty,  i'm sure he couldn't believe what he did, the degree of difficulty on that one was off the charts.

How did i do today? Well, Bowen has saved my rank with his first goal of the season, assist, and three bonus points at such a low effective ownership, it's more than i hoped for.  I actually had plans to move him off my team for Zaha but i was short of 0.2 mil after my Isak to Toney transfer, so i had to leave him, can't complain obviosuly...

Does anyone know the extent of the Mitro injury, and if it is the same leg that he injured against Norway? The hell with those injuries...

Who had and got rid of Trossard on their wildcard, Harkorede was that you?

Not good. I tried to use my big 'brain' once in a while and decided to captain Pope knowing full well that Newcastle is most likely going to keep a clean sheet. Everything is good up to 80+ minutes and Newcastle scored 4 goals then my hope was shattered. Well good thing that trippier was subbed out before the goal so he gets extra points from clean sheet

I was actually very livid with my decision because I've kept him since match day 1, but that's the effect of budget limitation, honestly I'm a big fan of Trossard but keep Salah is what made settle for an unsure Rodrigo for 6.3 (my budget left) and Trossard was 6.6, If I had decided to through out Salah, I defintely would have stick Trossard at least instead of Gross as well, because he cost significantly less. Damn! 20 freaking points man! Nice one you did with Jared Bowen  , I guess the price tag chase me away from him and he hasn't been very effective until today too.

my only regret in this GW was using the Free Transfer on Luis Diaz. Masterclass from Klopp to bench Diaz even though the team is in shambles and they need the best of the best in the starting XI, but no, let's put the inexperienced kid Carvalho as a starter    

Toney and Mitro blanked, love to see it. Next blank will be Haaland. De Bruyne will be the MOTM tomorrow 🙏

I think your Diaz decision was a sound one, he is only player in this Livrpool squad maybe worth his money. I guess he was benched cause of long distance travel for national selection. Congrats on the points, Almiron was really inspired choice for this GW. I have green arrows in all the leagues except this one and that is cause you jumped over me.

No, no, De Bruyne getting out in minute 33 while Haaland scores hat trick.

smh

whatever, i'm Team Haaland now

hat trick and double assists. Single handedly saved everyone's GW

We are all team Haaland, anything else is just too risky. Unless it is last day of the season and you are second in your mini league - than you throw the dice and hope for the best

I was without Haaland first few GW but learned my lesson since then. 23 points sound quite ok, what is even better there is quite a few of people in front of me that did not give him a captain band so finally gaining some momentum.

That makes two of us! Team Haaland! come rain, come shine... Since everyone would be on the same page, there is nothing to lose with that.

My week wouldn't have been worse, if not for the Trossard blunder and Salah believe lol, I've got so much to do now, I'm just glad I didn't leave Emerson Royal on the line up, and he'll remain on there bench, I'd rather take the drop in price than waste the transfer to get another defender in.

[Trofo]

Just read a great post on twitter regarding Haaland, this was from the guy who tried to be fancy and gave the captain band to somebody else. Paraphrased quote goes like "That is it, I give up, from now on Haaland permacaptain, even in GW12 when City doesn't have the game. He will find a way for hat trick anyway  "

I was happy with my 80 points so far, but then almost everybody got high points in that range this GW anyway.

The fact that almost all of the other players in the pool have similar attacking players is boring. My only mistake this week was switching Kane for deadwood Mitrovic, who gave me 0 points. I still have the Leicester goalkeeper in my team for tomorrow's game, and I'm hoping to get at least 4 points from him to reach 80+ at the very least.

Is it possible to make a team secret until the game starts? possibly the same pattern in superbru

No, it works a bit different in FPL. Everybody can see your previous GW team, but nobody can see your current GW team before game updates, usually around half time of the first game in GW. Meaning we know what players you had but don't know what transfers you made or if you used any chips. Same goes for captains, nobody knows who is your captain in normal seasons. This season we know it is Haaland or if it isn't, that person is already so far behind that it doesn't really matter

Exactly, no one can see your current team until after the week deadline, it's just like superbru but there is no option of locking your to see every other persons one.

That's actually funny ngl, but it's the truth  

What I got is the current week's average, 59 points, I feel so undone with Salah terrible form, but you never just know when he'd bounce back, Liverpool have scored 18 goals so far and just a mere two from Salah, very surreal!

I really just wish I followed my gut, I had Aubameyang initially at least that'd have given me 5 points than what Salah accrued.

LOL, I probably would have done the same as this guy from now on. Imagine changing your captain band expecting that Haaland probably would not get that many points this GW then somehow this guy got 23 points lol. Im going to perma captain Haaland as well from now on unless if he is somehow injured or there is an indication that he wont be playing full time

Heck yeah, I just realized that I would have gotten way higher points this week even if I left my entire draft without touching it. This is what I get for trying to be a smart ass

That is one of the thoughest things to do in fantasy, just leave your team intact if underlying stats are good. We all have the need to chase the points but those points are gonne.

Not gonna be the case with Haaland obviously, but now heaps of people will buy Trossard or Bowen and it is quite unlikely that they will repeat this GW perfomance soon.

[buwaytress]

Yup, all I need to do is NOT do anything and I can actually climb one spot up. I really have to haul ass but keep putting it off and before you know it, game week happens.

I'm same as Trofo. Give up. Haaland captain until he breaks, if ever.

Can't believe I even took Firmino out to sacrifice for more midfielders...

We joined Team Haaland waaay too late, but hey, there's still 29 GW to go so, let's hope we didn't jinx the guy and he continues breaking premier league records

And yeah i'm also gonna keep Emerson on the sidelines for a few weeks. I need to find a window to get rid of a couple of players, probably Emerson and definitely Fornals, the latter is literally useless, waste of money

The fact that almost all of the other players in the pool have similar attacking players is boring.

What's the most popular/boring template right now? Haaland-Toney-Mitro, then KDB-Maddison-Saka + 1 more, and finally a backline with Trippier-Cancelo-James with Pope/Sá as GK?? feels like if you don't have at least half of that template in your team already then you can write off this season

had him, but released him after first hat-trick, expected that it is not going to happen anytime soon, and he has three now
permacap from now on - he will chase all records this season with this start

also had Tarkowski (had to have one from my favorite team), and Everton is best defense in league (7 goals conceived), but only two clean-sheets so far
thought that will lose more because of Haaland, but still within top5 in our league

have to do some reconstruction in following weeks

what about C and V - pretty sure that I captained Salah, but results says that it is Kane (and he was V, with better score this round), is there any rule regarding this

[arallmuus]

and finally a backline with Trippier-Cancelo-James with Pope/Sá as GK?? feels like if you don't have at least half of that template in your team already then you can write off this season 

I might get Cancelo this week and complete my Trippier-Cancelo-Pope template ( although I might use Ramsdale in between ). Im deciding that its finally about time for me to drop VVD out of my draft. I has had him since the league start and so far he gets 1-2 points each week except for that one week that Liverpool won spectacularly against Bournemouth

[icopress]

Madison's double smoothed out my disappointment that I didn't take Haaland as captain. 

[morvillz7z]

^ Maddison absolutely crushed it tonight! I expected him to get a return or two, dude was literally all over the place and just one goal away of topping Haaland's 23 points.

Extremely good round for me as i was able to reach 100 points (103 to be exact), in a non DGW with no chips used that's pretty decent, only 15 points of Top 10k...

I wonder how likely is someone to have had them all this week, i mean Haaland, Trossard, Bowen, Foden and Maddison? Unlikely, right?

...Ward with a clean sheet and a save point, lol that's a first.

[Smartvirus]

Amusing 

You know when I first saw this, I wondered whats the big idea and even up to this moment, I still don't get it! Like, how many points can Pope really produce even in the event of a clean sheet? Compared to what some users have now in Erling Haaland!

Erling Haaland is such a cheat in the FPL and I wish I had him on my team far before I did and even got to captain him. Like, he earned 46 points in just one game if you have him as your captain, that's as much as Gabriel Jesus has earned in his entire game week. Just a difference of 1 point, that's sick!
