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

The bench has been the weakest part of my team. I'd have to make a few changes in my starting lineup in order to have a somewhat acceptable bench. But I'm too lazy to do that lol

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

On the other hand, there's no reason to rush him against a winnable side like Fulham.

I'm keeping Haaland in my starting XI, but if I had a good forward on my bench like Solanke, Mitro or Adams, I would totally rest haaland

I don't really see the need to rest Haaland, he isn't on the world cup and he will get plenty of rest. If he isn't ready I am expecting Pep to not risk him in last 20 minutes since City should dispatch Fulham quite easy.

My first sub on the bench is Zaha and I have no problem letting him cover in case Haaland/Foden/Wilson don't start. I am more concerned with Foden since I sort of expect Pep to give him just 15 minutes at the end. Even if all three don't play I also have Dunk and Andersen on bench to cover for them. They could all do well with a bit of luck but I am really hoping for City to start with both Haaland and Foden in first 11.

I think this will pan out as I expected it to with Haaland, I think Guardiola is going to give a couple of minutes, he was only listed on the bench simply because he's fit enough to play, and that'd mess up those that kept the faith of having as their captain, if doesn't get more just the point for being subbed in, but 15-20 minutes is literally more than enough for Haaland to get a decent return.

But Haaland only getting subbed-in point surely can't be any worse than those who tossed it towards Joao Cancelo.

[tomahawk9]

Haaland is back. Everyone on FPL:



Still, though, bunch of goals everywhere but I only got 17 pts, ffs!

Haaland and Foden in first 11.

Another gameweek, another Foden on the bench lol How long until people start dropping Foden? I could see him in the starting XI against Chelsea in the EFL cup, and then he'll probably get benched against Brentford in the league

[Trofo]

@icopress
I am very sympathetic to your plight, I am also in Cancelo captain boat. Still can't believe he got red carded and penalty whistled for bumping a player with his shoulder? Did not see the situation that well since I was out and just watched on mobile.

Other than that, at least i got my transfers in proper with Solanke and Trossard.

I really don't know what Pep is doing with Foden, gets on my nerves big time. Will need to think about it proper during Wold Cup break.

[casperBGD]

Haaland scoring, and had him as captain was most of my points today, 8 from 11
Mitrovic was out, Foden will be out from my team obviously, not sure what his situation is, but most of the team is playing tomorrow, trio from Liverpool, hopefully they will show some strength finally against Tottenham

a lot of goals today indeed, expected Wolves to win over Brighton, and my Everton to win (but, payback instead, Leicester gave us relegation avoidance points last year, thought that there is no 3/3 play in EPL, but not sure), shitty round

There are only a couple of positives for me this game week, the first would be bringing in Ward for Jose Sa, that'd be the first I'm getting more point for choosing either of the goalkeepers.

Just like I said 15-20 minutes is enough for Haaland to wreck havoc, it would have been two goals if the first one had stood. He even had more points that Kane whom I had last week and played for 90 minutes.

I got the early team news that both Haaland and Foden are not starting against Fulham. I couldn't swallow third straight Foden benching and took the -8, man...fuck Pep.  

Guess i was the only one to give Salah the armband, and that paid off big time! Zaha finally showed up with a double-digit return and Solanke with an attacking return instead of hockey assists. Not a bad week overall, if only Pope could have kept his clean sheet...

Wow, Cancelo is currently the most transferred out player ahead of GW16.  Do people really think he won't play against Brentford? smh

Great guts you've got! and it paid off pretty well, I would have had Salah back on my team but just one player from my midfield wouldn't help, and even If I did have going into this game week, I don't think I'd have given them armband, but it was rather too naive of me, to consider Wilson who was also a doubt ahead of Haaland who I was convinced will get some decent minutes off the bench, Trossard or Almiron would have been a better choice, but then it is what it is.

I can't believe that in the absence of the captain in my team, I scored 60 points. 

So... I can preliminarily announce that a custom cold wallet will be drawn at the end of the 17th game week. No limits....you can use your chips to get in the lead, or you can save your chips for double in-game weeks (you decide). In any case, if I was in last place, I would probably try to win this prize. It can be said that this will be a double win as the winner will also receive a free bet of 2 BTC (when this feature is available).

Not having Salah and my choice of captain mar my game week way really bad!

Speaking of the cold wallet raffle there is one available right now and it free to enter, would be nice to see one of us from here get our hands on it..

first time I was happy to have Salah this season
but late goal by Southampton ruined my week, and did not mean anything to them, both defender and keeper could have clean sheet, but nothing in the end

time to do a bit of change in the team this week, happy to learn that free transfers are adding up, if not used

Ruined clean sheet for all Newcastle defenders except Trippier, he got subbed before they conceded and got full points. Second time this season it happened, no wonder he is the top scoring defender in the game.

Salah delivered, if only I wasn't trying to he smart and captained Cancelo 5 minutes before the deadline. I was so sure City will destroy Fulham and my other 2 city players were benched. Initial plan was Haaland captain and Salah vice.

And of course I had Zaha on the bench just to add salt to injury. In the end 50+ points isn't so bad when everything is taken into consideration.

Wait what, am I trippin or something? 2 btc freebet? That worth $40k atleast

Ruined clean sheet for all Newcastle defenders except Trippier

I cant recall when but this is the 2nd time Trippier got subbed out before the goal was conceded hence he got the clean sheet bonus. Total of 12 points and double points for me because I made him the captain but I am 3 points below average points eventhough I got 24 from Trippier already. I should have put in Haaland instead of going for Mitrovic lol

This is a typo (I meant mBTC).

No no, we have all seen 2 BTC and we are counting on it. I have already decided what chips to us in order to vanquish the competition

Damn, my captain got -4 points and i still made more points then you even with Zaha (12 points) as unused sub. I guess it can always be worse even though I feel very hard done by that Cancelo red. Don't remember anybody ever getting red card and penalty for shoulder body check. Yes it was a bit rough but still.

Guess Im just bad lol but for some reason, the system automatically subbed out my Mitrovic then replaced him with one of my sub ( actually my worse sub ). Collins ended up taking that Mitrovic spot and he got 0 points, +2 and -2 on him while I still got Haaland and Andreas both with 6 points. Heck yeah, does fantasy automatically choose the worst sub or is it just random?

Subs are there so they can come on in case some of your players don't start. Players from the bench are coming into play by the order you arranged them. Of course GK can only come for GK while other positions are interchangeable as long as you have minimum number of players on that position. For instance you must have at least 3 defenders, 3 midfielders and 1 attacker.

Mitrović did not play and your first sub got activated.

Yikes, come to think of it yeah Collins was probably the 2nd sub after Ramsdale. This small little details that I missed totally cost me some points, If I knew about this I would have put Haaland or Andreas up front. Guess I learnt new stuff day by day though, I totally have no clue that the position of the bench players actually matters lol
