Funny how you guys underrated my information before the deadline. I sold Halaand because I was too confident in my choice. The wisest move I ever made was to go get Kane. There is no need to risk him against a team that should easily win without him given that his condition makes it likely that he won't be available for the next game either. The World Cup will soon arrive, man!

How do you feel now about that wisest move? Have to make fun of you now while my team still looks good. Have a feeling I will be down after Liverpool match as well.

Have Salah as captain and if he delivers, this could be very good for my rank after Wilson monster haul. But I already know I am set up for disappointment.

If Almiron hadn't delivered for me, I'd very livid right now because, I just sold Pascal Gross and Rodrigo today, and took a 4 point hit, It's already paid off with Almiron making up for the 4 point deficit, because I was going to be rid of Aubameyang regardless and couldn't have brought in a midfielder for him, but that still didn't feel justified that It was Kane I opted for tbh, Kane and he wasn't involved in any but still picked up a booking.

Rodrigo have also gotten a perfect gift from Liverpool's defense, I definitely would have left him If I felt he'd be fit enough, but still no regret than the -4 points, I just should have settle for Almiron and Rashford and held onto to Aubameyang, since he ended with as many points as Kane in the end.

I really just need a blank from Salah too...

EDIT: Salah just scored  and it's still a very long way to go!

lol I deserve this banter after what appeared to be a perfect week for me turned out to be one of the worst decisions I've ever made, but it could have been a lot worse if I had left Halaand on my team, my biggest regret was captaining Kane and ignoring Salah, well both players are just inconsistent, they are not captain material at this point. Choosing VDJ over Trippier continues to hurt my ass. Now I need Jesus, Martinelli, and Martinez to score at least 20 points tomorrow or I'm ruined.

Kane is the most consistent player this whole season. Writing from top of my head so maybe not 100% accurate but very close for sure - GW 14 now and he got a return in 12 game weeks and blanked in just 2. Problem is he never got more then one return. So he is very consistent but not very explosive. Cancelo just the opposite he mostly gets 1 and 2 pointers and then he hauls 15+.

My biggest regret is bringing Foden in GW13. He was top of my wish list and got just 1 pointers from that moment onward. Don't know what happened there, he started first 11 game weeks and played great. Then gets benched in all games after resting in GW12 anyway. Really don't see how he isn't starting the games anymore.

Wilson is the top transfer right now... I guess Toney owners found their replacement for the next GW.

Heh, Toney doing his non-believers (like me) a solid by forcing his owners to spend a FT 

Choosing VDJ over Trippier continues to hurt my ass.

VVD has been a disaster all season, people fell for two fluke league wins (9-0 vs the cherries and 1-0 vs Man City) and thought he was back to being world-class when in reality he hasn't done anything to justify having him on the squad at this stage of the season. Liverpool defenders are pricey but also crap, just poor value imo

EDIT: Salah just scored  and it's still a very long way to go!

Now watch him go blank for the next 2 or 3 games. Same old, same old

If only Jesus had the same decency to pick up that 5th yellow as well

I am thinking Nelson will replace Wilson on top after his heroics today, there are always those that look only at points and his price + haul today look mighty fine. There are some tweets out there and it seems 2 managers had Nelson as captain this week. I guess with large enough player base and maybe multiple accounts we get all kinds of strange stats.

I knew there was going to be an increase in Wilson value, so even before Newcastle match ended, I brought him in already after seeing Toney had picked up another yellow card, I was already looking to bring him in ahead the just concluded game week, but I wasn't willing to captain him, If Haaland had been fit, I definitely would have to bring in another forward in for Aubameyang, so he would have been my first choice.

If I recall correctly, I had him for three GW, I got him earlier and he was worth it, but since I sold him and got Halaand, I have never regretted my decision, Kane is no longer just that guy, the team is no longer built around him because his future is uncertain. Cancelo was hitting 15+ before I got him, now nothing, and Jesus has been the shittest guy on my team since I got him. I'm simply unlucky.

I'm getting him off with -4

Sorry bro but, I might have to agree with Trofo on this one. Kane remains one of the most consistent striker in the EPL this season and have always made a goal out of every 2 games he plays if not everyone. Of course he didn't manage it to score yesterday against Bournemouth but he damned tried. Although, I still don't favour him when it comes to captaining my team, he might get a goal but not so a hat trick or comes by many assists. He remains impressive still except for yesterday.

Eeling Haaland did hit most of us hard this time. Not like we forgot but most had hopes he would feature in the game despite his chance ratings on FPL but, Pep decided and we had his spot counting in the zeros. Tram Jimmy & the rascals seems to have been the one that made a good call and it paid off.

I so damn tried to get Almiron and Trossard on my team but, it was offsetting a lot and so I let loose. So much impact from the. For a GW that is almost sour.

[tomahawk9]

Haaland still with the 75% injury flag, same with Saka... Not good, not good at all. Maybe i'll get Foden or Rashford to replace Saka

I'm getting him off with -4

inb4 goal and clean sheet 🤣 in all seriousness, it's about time you got rid of him

I so damn tried to get Almiron and Trossard on my team but, it was offsetting a lot and so I let loose. So much impact from the. For a GW that is almost sour.

They've been so good lately that I think they've joined the list of must-have midfielders (next two could be KDB and Maddison/Martinelli/Saka), at least in the last few GW.

75% huh, sounds like 100% at this point because Klopp probably wont play him unless he is totally fit. Im thinking of getting Rashford as well, dude has been starting regularly and scoring pretty often nowadays as he is put up front most of the times. Ten Hag seems to rely on him more than Ronaldo for sure and he is not expensive at all

There has been some encouraging news about Haaland and he is not limping anymore at least. Pep said that he will not play in CL since City already secured 1st spot. It sounded more like giving him a bit extra time then him not being able to play, but you never know. Good thing it is another early kick off so we can wait for news before pulling the trigger.

I actually like Rashford for last two games and I will get either him or Almiron for Pereira. Maybe I will even pull the trigger early to pick up the price rise. Especially if I opt for Almiron since he doesn't have a game in Europe so no risk of injury.

How come you think Rashford scores quite often? Before his goal in last game he did not score or assisted in 8 consecutive United games spanning more than month and a half That being said he looked dangerous and those attacking returns were coming.

I like and chose to opt for Rashford basically because of the amount of playing time he gets, and I'm sure If Man Utd are getting good number of goals, he is very much likely to be involved in a number of them, I would have preffered stick to Rodrigo, but he's not fitting and had to limp off against Liverpool, after already being a doubt for the game, I wanted to revert to Martinelli, but Rashford fixture's looks much better, imo. But the midfielder I'm likely not to settle for before the break is Phil Foden, because you just really never know with Guardiola, I have no idea as why he's given Foden a less amount of playing time over the last few matches even tough he was perfectly fine, and there wasn't a tough fixture lurking around.

[tomahawk9]

Oh no, Haaland's price is falling https://twitter.com/FPLStatus/status/1587618251495948288

Current price £12.1M, that's a -0.1 since last week. Well, lads, it's time to sell him... lol 😂

I wonder if he'll play on the weekend. I didn't do too bad in the last GW with haaland on my starting XI getting 0 points, but having a blank two weeks in a row feels bad, ngl

We got a dose of hopium yesterday, Haaland recorded at training so I am thinking we have a lot to hope for. Would really mean much for my team if both Haaland and Foden start, one of the best fixtures in the season and this one could make or break our ranks.

If Haaland gets rested and Foden benched again I just know I can't possibly make up the points from De Bruyne.

In other good news, Saka played last 20 minutes yesterday so he is 100% fine.

Yep. I was saving a free transfer for him but he looked sharp yesterday.

But I'm still wondering if I should have 3 Arsenal players for the London Derby 🤔

Anyhow, anyone here part of the 930k managers who transferred in Callum Wilson for the next GW? You're not gonna like this: "The Newcastle star is feeling “a little run-down” ahead the Southampton game.”

I have Wilson but I did not transfer hin in this week, do I count? I got him as soon as he returned from injury since he is one of my favourite strikers, too bad he is so injury prone. But at least I got the haul last game and did not spent a transfer.

Have a feeling we will need to have strong benches this week.

I think I missed this topic but whats with the price point reduction though? Im assuming that it has to do with total value of our entire team + remaining money left unused ? However most of the time that the price decreased by 0.1-0.3 so it shouldnt be affecting me in a bigger scope if I dont really pay attention to this isnt it? I havent been paying any attention at all to this lol

Selling him now would be a terrible idea, because even if he doesn't play this week there is quite a huge possibility of him being fit for next gameweek or let say you sell him and he's brought on for a couple of minutes, there will be a massive buy for the next game week, meaning you'll have to buy him for more value.

I've not made any decision about my team for the game week yet, but Haaland stays, I might not captain him, I might settle for more risky captaincy choice, but that's to be decided later at night.

I would say it is moderately important, but price rises are even more important than price falls. It is always nice to get early on player and acquire him while he is cheap. That raises your overall team value and leaves you with more choices in the future. For instance my current team value is 103.8M which is much nicer than starting 100M.

That being said you don't need to pay particular attention to it, just having good performers will do it for you automatically. Only time when I look for it is when making the transfers, for instance I made my transfers yesterday before Trossard went up in price to save myself 0.1M.

Gotcha, well in my case I have £98.4m squad value and £3.5m In the bank which is decent I supposed because everyone start at exactly £100m. I think this gets tricky once the total money that you have dropped below £100m and if it stays higher than £100m then it should be fine.

Anyway, Fantasy indicating that Haaland has 75% chance of playing. Im actually tempted to put him on the squad considering that Norway is not on world cup so there is no reason to really keep Haaland until he is 100% fit because he wont be playing in WC either way
