To be fair more then half of players on most transferred list is from those clubs so either I am crazy, everybody plans on free hitting/wildcarding GW12 or people just don't look even one week in front when planning teams.

Most of those are simply kneejerk transfers, players who did well in the previous week, except for maybe Trossard who's having two decent fixtures in a row.

If tomahawk9 did indeed transfer in Saka this GW, looking at his squad, he's about to have 6 MCI/ARS players for BGW12 and no bench.   Godspeed!  

I would strongly advise against using the FH chip in BGW12, you can get more out of it in the second half of the season, with big blank GWs and some juicy DGWs coming.

Well, did you guys see the news? Liverpool's Luis Diaz injured until December, Matip and TAA ruled out for 3 three weeks. Diaz owners, what are you gonna do now?

There goes my free transfer for the week I guess. I had 4 other midfielders that I could use but Im totally planning on utilizing 3-5-2 for few weeks ahead and he will be ruled out till December with the possibility of probably not going to be fit afterward as well so there is really no reason to keep him for now I guess. Real question is, who do I replace him with thouh

There is Foden, Trossard or probably Maddison. I would love to have Saka but I already have 3 Arsenal's players

I took a quick look at your team and in your place my choice for that midfield spot would be Zaha, he is nailed in Crystal Palace attack and he has good fixtures all the way to world cup and free transfers. He is my set and forget player, maybe not as explosive as those that you mentioned but should be far more consistent. Time for Maddison has probably passed while Foden is the best pick but what will you do in GW12 with all those players from City/Arsenal. Those clubs do not have a game in match day after this one.

Trossard is very interesting choice since he has the best possible fixture in GW12. Would love to have him then, would probably even captain him.

[tomahawk9]

Please share your plans for navigating GW12

Either free hit or i'll just take a some -4

I'm not too concerned about it tbh. One shitty gameweek won't make the difference in the long run  (:  It's a gw where everyone is gonna take a hit, i expect the average points to be super low. GW12 will be all about getting lucky with the armband, just like that one lucky mofo who triple captained Firmino and he went and  scored 2 goals + three assists in the 9-0 against Bournemouth

I already have that planned out already I have just two Man City players and I'm not selling either of them, I'll only drop them to the bench, because I really don't see an easy fixture that's what it's worth taking them out for just to bring them in the next game week while losing some team value, Kane that I could have opted for is up agaisnt Man Utd, so I don't find it worth it, I'll just settle for two players from bench and I'll be fine with, and I'll just be able to bring in a couple of Arsenal players after the GW12, Free Hit would be absolute waste imo, except you have 6 players combined form City and Arsenal, but you can be rest assured that there is still weeks with even more blank games to be ahead that the free hit will feel more justified towards.

If you have 6 six players from Arsenal and City and you have two transfer, you can also make two transfers out for the players you feel you can go without for the next two weeks and then bring in your bench players, if you've got players like Andreas and Neco Williams on the bench you can sure some valuable points from them too, so you'll only lose points from just one player.

What will be my supposed picks for sure, Zaha or Trossard although, I'm no big fan of Zaha due to his style of play. His a good player no doubt, have got the stamina and some foot work but often holds the ball too long to make some real impact along with some misplaced passes. Although, of I were to have a Crystal Palace player on my team and the funds is right, it would be Zaha. He's plat time is assured and remains the best Crystal Palace have got to offer.

Can we say R. Firmino has actually stepped up, his been impressive in his performance across leagues lately and I hope to see more of that in the EPL and consequently, FPL.

Lately Klopp started playing sort of 4-4-2 instead of usual 4-3-3 we all envision when we think about Liverpool. That change immediately lowers the value of Salah/Dias and gives more value to Firminho/Jota/Nunez. I still think I am more likely to go for Nunez than Firminho but I will think about that transfer from GW12 so still one match against City between that to asses the situation.

James injury is a big problem for me and probably most of you. He will miss next 2 games for sure which means I can't field 11 players in GW12. I decided to pull the trigger immediately and kicked him out of my team for -4. Not really a lot of premium defenders delivering at the moment so I went with cheap option and saved some money for GW12. Best options for me are defenders from Palace/Brighton/Wolves, all are cheap, all have good fixtures but none of them has potential to haul big as James/Cancelo/Trent...

[tomahawk9]

Rumous say James could miss the WC due to injury.

I've already found his replacement (Kilman - Wolverhampton). He's been the Wolves player with the highest return (30 pts) after Podence and the upcoming fixture looks promising as they will avoid teams from the top 10 for at least 4 gameweeks

But, back to Chelsea,, first, it's Kante confirmed to miss the WC, now it could be James, not a good day for Chelsea fans.

I also got rid of Reece for Kilman, can't afford another 0.1 drop in team value. In the last week and a half, Mitrovic's price dropped twice, yikes!

Speaking of the devil, at least we know he's alive and may or may not play this week lol, he's just getting ready for the World Cup and couldn't care less about anything else is all, i don't want to hear about any injuries...

As of now, i've no plans of taking any hits in GW12 or anytime soon. I should have 11 players to field, but getting the captaincy for GW12 right could be critical. We could see some significant rank movements in that week.

I had no plans of taking hits as well and then that James injury happens. But I am not complaining it is what it is and I would probably just waited if there isn't that blank GW12 looming ahead. This way I am actually paying -2 for the transfer since Kilman should be able to get at least 2 points for me and I know I have to remove Jesus in GW 12 to field 11 players.

There is a lot of rumors floating around about James, only certain thing is that he will take his scans during the weekend then we will know for sure. But since there is talk about missing WC I am sure he is missing GW11 and GW12 and that was enough to pull the trigger.

Mitro owners in the mud.

the manager had a press conference today and it was the same bs from last week, he keeps beating around the bush about Mitro's situation saying that they're assessing him, trying to see if he's fit to play on the weekend, literally same script as last week lol tbh, i expect him to miss this GW as well, price drop could reach -0.3M, oof!

Kilman should be able to get at least 2 points for me

oh, so there are several Kilman owners here, eh? Kilman gang, rise up!!

I've literally been very unlucky with transfer, I just got Salah last during week due the knock against Arsenal and replaced him with Trossard and Reece James immediately after the game against Arsenal, and that's a transfer gone down the drain, and I'll be short another team player, except Neco Williams gives him deserving points for the blow

I was really surprised to see so many of us went with Kilman, i guess we are all sick of premium defenders not delivering so we might as well have cheap defenders not delivering


Never thought Brendford had it in them to win 2:0 against Brighton. I was afraid for not owning Trossard and in the end got 10 points from Raya. Kudos to all of you with Toney as well, nice 12 points for him.

~snip

sometimes is better to not know the rules, intended to sell Mitrovic few weeks ago, but did not know that there is a gap between selling price and actual price, based on your purchase price, and when told, decided to keep him - from that point on, he delivered nothing

my team is going down last few weeks, but it does takes to much effort to follow all the news, and basically Sorare is more important for me, so prioritized that over FPL, but pushing on both fronts

joined Kilman team, should be clean sheet this week

And then of course Fulham match starts and Mitrović is on the pitch Not any returns for him in the first half though.

Solanke is on the fire for Bournemouth and I thought he will be a troll and skipped just over him without even seriously considering him.

Maddison killed my hopes with that yellow towards the end of the match. That is his 5th and he is suspended, wouldn't be so bad if it isn't for that problematic GW12. Now I have to go with minus points transfers again if I decide to field 11 players.

[tomahawk9]

Mitro owners, rejoice

lol I saw Maddison trending on twitter and i thought "lucky bastard scores again!!1"... turns out it was a late yellow card and tons of people were losing their minds because they used their chips to put Maddison in their team. What a legend

Y'all geniuses out here. I have really looked into the Wolves defence for any transfer but, Max Kilman is making the numbers in point good for a defender. 2 points is the least you could ask for as a 90minutes play guarantees that but hey, Wolves is one team that is good at cleans sheets due to a strong defence line in the EPL although, they nearly lost it today with pressure mounted on the defence by Nottingham Foeest around the 70-80mins. Good one Jose Sa was able to save a penalty, living a clean sheet points to the defenders and Max Kilman produced 4. A good day for me actually, getting 14points from Sa.

[morvillz7z]

Mitrovic back from the dead!

Early transfers rarely pay off! I burned myself on several occasions last year trying to bring in players early (to catch/avoid price rises/falls and such), despite the fact that there are midweek fixtures and anything can happen.

Maddison killed my hopes with that yellow towards the end of the match. That is his 5th and he is suspended, wouldn't be so bad if it isn't for that problematic GW12. Now I have to go with minus points transfers again if I decide to field 11 players.

Did i say yesterday that i don't plan on taking hits and would have 11 players to field in gw12, yeah well, i would like to retract that statement  ...getting yellow for a dive in the last minute of the game is pure FPL trolling.

I really wished I had waited for Friday or Thursday before making my transfers, I wouldn't have jumped in on the Reece James, I would gone have for Perisic or perhaps Ait-Nori, or the Killman bandwagon, and If Emerson Royal hadn't been stupid for the red card against Arsenal too, that would have been two more clean sheets to my teams, but I'm literally done with the what ifs and buts, so I've got Killman for the next couple of fixtures and might get back to Perisic if Conte is going to give more time too.

Is anyone else thinking of potentially having Andreas into their squad for certain fixtures, if one of their midfield of defenders is bound to have tough game like City or Liverpool for instance.

[tomahawk9]

'Free Transfers' are risky af:

- free transfer Emerson Royal
- returns 1 pt and then gets suspended for 3 games
- free transfer Luis Diaz
- gets injured
- free transfer Trossard
- two blanks in a row
- free transfer Haaland
- becomes average
Looking forward to seeing my new free transfer in GW12, he'll probably score an own goal and then he'll get sent off. FML

how did you guys do today? looks like i got 45 pts
