^ 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...

Kudos bro! It was literally well deserved 

Not captaining Haaland was the biggest flop of the GW especially because almost everyone else did, that's me throwing away 18 points and I could only imagine if I had kept Trossard in too, but just never can tell before hand , c'est la vie!

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

I strongly doubt that any would have that combination in their team,

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

I also said this before the beginning of the game week with the idea for having Ward in instead of Sa, that's just another inaction to regret, lol.

I was preaching about Maddison troughout whole last week and I am super happy it paid of for once. My first proper green arrow this season.

Now it is time to find a way to bring Zaha to my team without using extra transfers. Will be though to pull that one.

Just finished making some changes to my team and finally i can say "Goodbye, Fornals. Don't let the door hit you on the way out"

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

not sure about the rules, but, you still have Salah? balls of steel, eh  every week i see him among the Top Transfers out list, i thought we all got rid of him weeks ago

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

I had triple Liverpool players at the start of the season but i dropped all of them in the span of 1-2 GW. First Salah, then Robertson because of injuries and finally TAA. VVD is having a disaster season as well... It's like everyone in Liverpool decided to shit the bed at the same, so unlucky

Vice captain only kicks in if your captain did not play a single minute. Basically same as subs. You probably made just that change and forgot to hit save/confirm or whatever that button says.

Also started with 3 players from LFC, first one out was Robertson but I got Diaz in same transfers, then later on I got rid of Salah and Arnold on wildcard. Diaz is still in my team and he is the only LFC player maybe worth his price tag. And I very much want to have 1 or 2 LFC players from GW12 onward. Unfortunately I will probably have to sell him this week to fit Zaha in.

and I am Everton fan, been questioning myself about loyalty regarding Salah (but he was not part of my team till this round, basically changed Son for him, so it was not that bad, Son was worse) - initially started season with both of them

but you are right, it is about having same team as everyone else, there is just to little data from stats that counts towards scoring points, for any player that is not scoring or assist to be in for a team (this screw me up, I use to play Sorare, and that is completely different, see below what is included in Haaland performance in Sorare, and what counts towards the score)

interesting fact, he was fouled only once on whole match

I'm getting outdone by injuries and suspensions, I was fine with Emerson Royal playing out his suspension on the bench of my team, but I'm already phased with another Fofana injury, just when Chelsea seems to getting their shits together, how typical and I really cant just make a reasonable transfer by taking either of them out because of their fee are relatively cheap and others in the price bracket are either awful or not worth the transfer... decision, decision, decision 🤔

That Fofana injury is a bitch, don't have him but it finally seemed Chelsea will play with 5 at the back with James at his favorite right wing back position. He immediately scored a goal and assisted another one. Now we can see him utilized as RB in 4 at the back or even worse as center back if they keep 5 at back.
Fofana should be out for almost a month I think so that is it for him before WC and free transfers.

If I was Chelsea manager I would do anything to keep James at RWB. They are just so much more dangerous in attack with him there.

I managed to get Zaha in my team, so hopefully this one will pay off as Maddison did last week. Zaha is not that explosive but I expect small and steady returns from him all the way to WC. He is set and forget with great fixtures for CP, hopefully he will stay fit.

Chalobah, Apzi, and Koulibaly are all fit, so I don't expect many changes at the back, but 3 at the back is another option, and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts Cucurela ahead of the other CB options.

Today's game week is the only one I'm not sure about. Leicester appears to be the only team with a less intense game this weekend, I had to replace Mitrovic with Daka and give up 4 points to get Maddison in my midfield. I have three Arsenal players in my squad, so if anything goes wrong, I'm in big trouble.

I tried not to provoke lady luck this week again, so I left my squad untouched and I would make better use of them next week, I don't want take any points hit for a defender if I'm not guaranted a clean sheet, and I don't have any defender I'm convinced would give me one.

I settled for Neco Williams at the back and then I settled for Ward in place of Jose Sa, the latter being a move that have most points every time I go for it, and whenever I return back to default as well.

If there was any player I'd rather have right now, it's going to be in midfield and that's Marcus Rashford.

[Igebotz]

James is on the bench, along with more than seven first-team players. What is Potter up to? Wolves are one of the league's most dangerous teams, so I'm not too confident in this game. Pulisic is in the starting IX Lol. If we get a draw in this game, it will be a fair result for us. Wolves is getting at least two goals in this game.

FFS!  Potter couldn't handle the pressure and he didn't have any other choice but to put Pulishit in the starting XI. Sterling on the bench too. Over 40% of fpl coaches in the mud   #PotterOut  

and i was about to make some memes about hitting 100 pts in the GW, fml 

edit*  forget about James. Cancelo believers, where we at? (:

Bro, the #Potterout campaign is too early; he's done nothing and, for the time being, I'm not going to criticize him until FT; at the very least, Pulisic fans will be able to see how washed he's become over the years. With those open goal chances, he would have had an HT hattrick if he was even close to being a good finisher.


So far, Daka over Mitrovic is a good swap. And why does Cancelo have to score today, I'm so pissed, where is Halaand? He's holding my captain's band. Halaand and is so wash good.

Edit: he scored and I'm looking like an idiot

I want to believe Potter is much more having concerned about the Champions League, 2nd leg coming up vs AC Milan because he's started both James and Aubameyang against them during the midweek and I don't want to believe he just suddenly drops them to bench because he wasn't impressed well enough by them.

I guess that's what you get for having a new coach, you just never know with them...


Yet still, my theory on Ward vs Jose Sa proves to be right again, I'd have had a point more sticking with Sa, but Leicester had me fooled with their mid week performance.

[tomahawk9]

scored one goal... meh

First GW with Haaland on my team and...  it was pretty dissapointing    But still, i've got 49 pts today, newcastle and man city players with the highest returns, pretty great. However, Trossard, my free transfer in this GW, has been awful today. It appears i'm a bit unlucky withthe  free transfers, everytime i use them i fail to see any returns lol

SO risky to have players from relegation fodder sides

Lol everyone improved over time and I'm getting worse with each GW after topping the table earlier on, I've been moving from 8-9 the last 5 GWs. My team always has 1-2 injured players. I got Maddison for free after his last week performance, only to have him give me a single point. This is the longest I've ever played FPL. I always give up after two or three games, but it's been fun and I want to keep competing. I'm hoping Jesus and Salah put on good shows tomorrow, scoring at least one goal each.

It gets kinda competitive on smaller pool I guess but it could be pretty boring on larger pool especially when you are at the bottom half of the table since the start of the season or something.

Yikes perisic not starting as a lineup and only gets 10 minutes of playing time. Haaland only scored 1 goal but yeah this is still a good achievement for him as he kept on scoring on most of the games but honestly we are expecting more from Haaland if we play fantasy especially when most players have him as the captain 

I'm hoping Jesus and Salah put on good shows tomorrow, scoring at least one goal each.

Two goals for Jesus or I might be getting points below the average again this GW lol

[morvillz7z]

Not that bad of a round so far, still a couple of players left to play.  Haaland scoring only one feels like a blank, well he was close to a second but hit the post (FH).

I had to take my first hit of the season, navigating bgw12 without hits is/will be almost impossible, so i decided to do it early. Both players who i took out had attacking returns, i just need Zaha to get something tomorrow otherwise i might end on a red arrow, unless of course, Bowen with his low ownership gets another haul. 🙏

[Harkorede]

If I'm assured that Haaland will score just one goal per game until the end of the season, I probably would never have in as my captain, because I can easily pick other options week in, week out, but the problem is when he score 3-4 goals without having to do too much, he could have easily picked up 3-4 goals today, mostly by just tiniest margins of miss-passes or not decisive touches, that's how easy it would be for him all season long in as much as he stays fit, he's got every potential and there's literally no defense in the world right capable for keeping him at bay if the City supply line is functional.

SO risky to have players from relegation fodder sides

Yeah, but I probably would still arrive at the same decision 9/10 times if I'm to choose between Sa playing this Chelsea side and Ward vs Bournemouth that have scored just 6-18 before this game, including 9-0 haul at the hand of "glitch in the matrix" Liverpool I'm sure that sounds familiar 😂

[tomahawk9]

I'm hoping Jesus and Salah put on good shows tomorrow, scoring at least one goal each.

I'm banking on Diaz, Jesus and Martinelli to show up with goals and assists tomorrow,, I'm also going with the BTTS & Over 2.5 combo, goals galore incoming (inb4 goalless draw)

Bowen with his low ownership gets another haul. 🙏

i dropped Fornals last week and knowing my luck he will be MOTM after scoring a perfect hat-trick plus two assists  :⌃)

including 9-0 haul at the hand of "glitch in the matrix" Liverpool I'm sure that sounds familiar 😂

lol
oi, expect more of those glitches very soon, just saying 👀

I am not worried for you, it shows that you know what you are doing and I am starting to get a bit pessimistic about my chances of getting in front of you
GW 12 will be a total bitch to navigate, problem is when I drop all those premiums on the bench I have to count on guys like Pereira and Emerson (cheap one) to get me points

Zaha was the player to get for this GW, that run of fixtures until Wold Cup looks unbelievably good. Also went -4 so I could get him this week. It doesn't really matter what Haaland does as long as everybody has him as a captain. It doesn't move you up or down the ladder.
