Another source of pain in FPL is when you have two starting goalkeepers but keep getting it wrong and who you don't play always outscore the other even when they have the best fixture on paper, Verbruggen scored 5 points last game week, that's 10 points less than Sanchez, now it's going to be the same story all over again, Verbruggen wouldn't be in action until tomorrow but Sanchez already with 8 points and 2 extra bonus points coming too. Smh.

Jasckson and Sanchez, picking up where they left off at the end of last season...

Well technically it was Petrovic in goal last year but you get the idea.

[Rruchi man]

Wild Card is on everyone's lips next couple of rounds, yeah?

Some people already used that option, but next week, there will be more people wildcarding. I almost used mine this week, but I just made one change and  waiting to see how it goes for me this GW.

I doubt Verbruggen will be able to keep a clean sheet as Sanchez did; Nottingham Forest tend to score even in games that they don't win.

Sanchez + Your Nicholas Jackson points would have put you in top for the GW already.

Not sure anyone captained Jackson; that would have been some luck!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!! I decided for myself that Salah will be the captain  

Why are the odds so low?  
Is this a conscious choice? The problem is that the "body" of the bet is burned (since it is a free bet) at a big loss. It's hard for me to check the message history now, but I calculated that for a free bet the most favorable odds are in the range of 6.0 - 10.0.
6 points for Salah is not a very good round. But it will be interesting to see if Haaland can break the curse.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Ahhh i just have Luis Diaz as a captain until this round, but this round with the addition of the android Haaland, i give him the captain band.

Very good round overall for me.

Tomorrow the big match of the round, Manchester City against Arsenal, lets see if Manchester city starts to drop some point.

Damn right, I don't even think Verbruggen will be able to match that how of points even if Brighton were to keep a clean sheet today, but the only positivity I can draw from my defensive end is that both Arnold and Robertson gave some returns, and still better for my Liverpool triple up compared to having Jota in the mix.

Rogers finally paying some dividends too, I guess it was just a matter of time with him.

[cryptofrka]

Sanchez with 9 points again, that's 24 in 2 GW's if I counted correctly.

Finally something from Morgan Rogers, but not the best of weeks for me yet again. Jota benched, nothing from Garnacho and a last second goal to deny Harwood-Bellis a clean sheet.

Fine margins in Fantasy, Trent with a CS and could have easily been an own goal. Nothing going my way so far in my duel with icopress, still early though. Did not expect him to be at the top to be honest.

Firstly, congratulations on your win.
Secondly, I decided to make a return bet. It's not a free bet, but the money is won from a free bet, so I don't take it seriously.
On the one hand I expect the game to end 0-0 (the teams are well prepared for this in the European Cups haha), but I think Haaland's drought in big games should end at some point.

[Rruchi man]

When is he going to score? I like him and how effective a player he is, but I think he is not someone who scores a lot; he will rather create an assist than score.

Verbruggen just conceded a penalty; it cannot be the only goal he will concede. Wood is really looking good for this game with how Forest have started the game. I predict Wood will find the goal more the one goal he has already from the penalty spot.

I believe his goals will come in due time, he might not be the one to score 2-3 goals every fortnight but I do believe he’ll get a decent number by the end of this season and going by his price, he’s a must have.

It was a really naive and clumsy challenge from Baleba, while the decision seem to have been quite a soft one and VAR wouldn’t overturn due it being a rather debatable one for either decision.

Forest are very fast on the break and looking threatening with their counter attack, asides that they game seem really even so far.

He doesn't look like a natural scorer to me. He always looks a bit rushed with the final touch. He gets into good chances and then snatches at them which results with poor shots.

But he is very cheap, plays all the minutes for good team and has good fixtures. Though to remove him from my squad even on WC. Goals will come, just don't expect same level of finishing like from the best in the business.

Pep just kicked the seat in anger.

It's very funny how many twists have happened just in the first half alone, from Man City being really close to have 2-3 goal lead, to Rodri getting injured and the momentum instantly shifted in Arsenal favor, now it's back to Man City's with Arsenal down to 10 men and would play the final 45 minutes as such.

I'm sure a couple of drama would still unfold here.

[icopress]

Btw, I already sold J'Pedro and Eze.

I got an Arsenal attack and another player who will be playing for 2 weeks in a row in the main squad of my team, despite the fact that I only own 1% (rotation with Vardy in GW6, and with ESR GW7).

I've seen many games where the game was fiery but then after one of the teams was sent off they closed down and there were no more goals scored, I hope this is exactly the kind of game  
I think Simeone/Mourinho would have easily hold the score in such a situation. Let's see what tactics Arteta chooses, he was lucky that it happened right before the break and he can completely rebuild the game in normal mode, and not try to shout his ideas from the edge of the field.

P.S. My easiest bet on Haaland paid off  

[Trofo]

Btw, I already sold J'Pedro and Eze.

I also got rid of J. Pedro and Jota. Wouldn't have enough money for Mbuemo if it was Eze. Still thinking weather to WC this week or not. So far on -4 with high probability of pulling the trigger and renewing my squad.


This week GW winner is Hhampuz with probably* 89 points. Barnes and Jackson coming in clutch for him. Those 2 aren't in many teams.

*This season FPL has a habit of tinkering with bonus points late into the evening and all GW winners are official day after the games finish. When situation is clear like here when hhampuz should have 9 points gap I will proclaim them immediately and when it is very close I will wait for official results.

[NotATether]

Don't you guys think it's a bit too early to sell JP? I mean, unless he's going to be benched from now on, he can't be that bad.

Another frustrating gameweek for many I suppose, differentials we're finally scoring but most of us are still in the same league positions as last week.

Sancho?
Was considering him but told myself - no Chelsea assets other than Palmer when I can afford him.

Sitting on 3 transfers and already having decent options for a mini Wildcard. Don't like how my team currently looks like, but am hurt by that -0.4 mil I lost on Quansah.

To be honest, seems like such a heavy penalty. Only 10% people or so had him, he lost -0.1 in value the first week and remained at ~3% selection. He's now selected by 1.7% of people and lost -0.3 in value in short period of time.

Looks totally unrealistic but it is what it is I guess.

[Rruchi man]

Proud of Arsenal and how compact we remained under pressure. It was just a bit disappointing at the end that we could not get the outcome we wanted, but it could have been worse.

The officials ruined the game with that red card; it may have been justified, but the inconsistency is what is annoying because Doku kicked the ball away too in the first half and never got a card for it.

Arsenal sent a clear message today that we are still in the race to win the Premier League this season, our third attempt!

[Trofo]

Hey guys, we have a final number of players now - 28, which gives us 56 mBTC. Add to that generous sponsorship from Rollbit - 100 mBTC and we have a total of 156 mBTC for rewards.
If someone checks the OP, we screwed the math there a bit. Those percentages end up on 102% so I shaved a bit from most rewards in a way to get round numbers.

Final rewards for season 2024-2025 will be as follows:

Code:

🥇 1st place - 58 mBTC
🥈 2rd place - 19 mBTC

🏅 6th place - 11 mBTC 
🏅 7th place - 8 m BTC
