Definition of success in football career is different for every player, some players, see winning trophies and medals with their team as definition of success in their career, while there are those that consider success as being well and properly paid and recognized for their talent even though they have not won a title or a trophy. Duran may be chasing personal success.

Nobody pursues success in the Saudi league unless they are chasing money, which is understandable for older players who haven't earned enough, but not for someone under the age of 22 with more potential in Europe is crazy.

So heartbreaking man, let's not forget that almost every team in Europe right now wants a quality number 9. I know Arsenal have been wanting one for some time, but also Chelsea, West Ham, Spurs, even United (or not) and probably a bunch of clubs in other countries. It is not easy to find a 9 like him.

Villa are at least lucky they still have Ollie Watkins, but I saw him miss a penalty in that Celtic game so maybe he's a no-go.

We turned him down last summer but the reason he turned down multiple offers In Europe and also abandoned the CL is money motivated..

Well, he has made his choice and will have to live with it. Saudi favored some players; they were able to settle in well, while others struggled. He sure also got a difficult club in Saudi Arabia to move to as a young striker with Ronaldo still on a record hunt in the team. One thing is sure: attention reduces when you move to Saudi Arabia. I rarely hear of Ivan Tooney these days.

That’s what is come down to for most of them players now, it’s more like having to settle for money, it’s what they need to make off their careers in the end right… sadly, you lose focus and the audience that brought you to light. Even a pro league player could do badly in a league where you’ve not got the support of the team and it’s not challenging. It’s how they get to fail and fall out of focus. Many joined up because they hope to play with Ronaldo, they tend to forget, Ronaldo only joined the Saudi league for a retirement benefit that is paying off.

Tottenham are linked to Wissa.

Let's just hope for my own sanity that Wissa doesn't go anywhere this window. I can't replace him right now.

I just bought Wissa, didn't know about this but I am not sure him leaving for Spurs would be such a deal breaker. They need striker immediately while Solanke is injured and they are playing attacking football. If it happens I just hope he will start playing immediately. Also Brentford manager said he and Mbuemo are not for sale, but i know those things change very fast when right offer comes.

Assistant manager chip active. Have a feeling this will not end well for me but had to tray something with DGW25 announcement. 5 games for manager chip should count for something.

I activated mine already earlier in the week before the announcement of the potential second double game week, but my fear is that those with the triple captain chip could even be better off as they can still benefit from the second DGW, and if Salah does get a haul this game week, it could be a blow for the assistant manager chip.

Oh man you activated the chip too? I was hoping to be the only one to use it this week after I triggered it early.

What happened to not selling players or loaning players to fellow EPL clubs ??

And are these guys trying to send Brentford into relegation with whats to happen ??

Because that combination of Mbeumo and Wissa is what gets the teams goals , and breaking this partnership mid-season could destabilize the team Chemistry and gameplay will change should he go!

I was disappointed as well, I didn't say anything because I wanted to use it secretly. Little did I realise that others were thinking the same thing. I couldn't afford Slot, so I went with Moyes, the underdog who could beat Leicester and Liverpool.

Why? You still have captain on Salah probably and if you have taken Slot, every Liverpool goal is also bringing you points. I have Moyes so hoping for some surprises, let's say Everton wins against Liverpool 4:3 and Gakpo is involved in all the goals, preferably with Trent combo.

We all thought it was Mbuemo/Toney combination and then Toney leaves and Wissa just steps into his shoes. I believe Brentford management does their scouting very well and they are prepared for next combo when it becomes necessary.

We have 10 AM managers chips in play. Then we have 4 TC chips in play and couple of free hits/ bench boosts and even WC. This is a week for chips in our pool. Only 10 players not using any chips. Including 2 in the top 10.

Been having really terrible reception for the past two days. I have been struggling to fix my team; I missed the deadline, and yes, no chip active, no transfers made. Same old team from last week.

I'm not seeing any Tottenham to Wissa/Mbuemo link News only Tel and Tomori News- I don't understand why Tomori would move from a Champions League AC Milan and return back home to a mid-table team. An insane downgrade

A do or break week for everyone for without a chip.

It's not looking good for non-Wood owners right now...

[buwaytress]

^ Well. My first gamble for DGW already bit me in the ass as I swapped Wood out and he's bound to get 17 points from today's outing. Level on goals with Isak now too, damn. So much for hoping that Brighton would actually show up -- Wood's goals were just so... preventable. That's the top 3 on a Wood hattrick. A reminder I need to actually play FPL properly and not take these dumb gambles.

Also... damn but I didn't know about GW25 double as well, that would 100% have made me use AM chip, so lucky for those who waited and heard. I only found out logging in now and looking at NotForest game. Was this decision just made today or?

That's because I did Slot, I couldn't do Gakpo but there is no point crying over spilled milk now for me I guess, I can only hope for big fat blank from Gakpo while Liverpool keep clean 3 sheets and winning their respective matches.

I think the decision was announced on Thursday or thereabout, I was also very close to taking out Wood for Watkins for a -4 points hit, fortunately the budget budget wasn't enough, so I did Mateta to Watkins instead, epic disaster averted!

Looking at how this round is going and the unveiling of the new managerial chip, is it possible that this could be that round we get an all time high of the season (100+ pts)  
I know for a fact many of us have Liverpool assets in a double game week week for them and possibly Salah as captain who has delivered too

Newcastle doing the damn thing, losing at home

Btw was that a Pickford assist , damn

Immediately I saw that on Flashscore I knew it was a good week for those that brought in Pickford, regardless of what happens in the game vs Liverpool, he's already paid enough dividends to cover a DGW.

-------------

An assist for Gakpo today, but no extra points so it's not so bad having Slot then, I don't think Liverpool would fail to beat Everton in the next game, it sure should get better with a Gakpo blank

[cryptofrka]

Aston Villa will be the end of me. They are a very good team but they are simply not bringing the points.
If Liverpool wins the Cup tie against Spurs they have DGW as well, that's the last time I'm touching them.

Didn't use the triple captain, my target is next week. Of course Salah scored twice today, in a game that's the most difficult one on paper.

I could write a book from all the choices that went against me this season. I still feel most of my calls are right but it's probably just frustration speaking.

Well, hopefully Liverpool wins against Spurs so my Salah triple captain can blank against Wolves and Villa.

It should be a sure thing, many teams are already over 80 points with 8 or 9 players left (counting DGW players here of course) plus captain. This should go closer to 150 I think. Monster GW incoming for sure. And joca is already on 93, with BB chip and 3 NFO players on the bench, 31 points on the bench so far. Well played.

I executed my first managers chip rather poorly in this round. Didn’t give too much attention to the game of today but rather, too a peep into what to expect in the coming weeks ahead but before then, Bournemouth ensured I had to regret that decision by getting loosing their game, didn’t get any goals and my manager did zero out.
Pickford and his boys delivers for Moyes, 3 goals and a clean sheet. That’s 12 points on the way with bonus and it covers good for those that missed out on the Nottingham Forest spree.
