Finally I am rising out of the deadzone. It looks like playing wildcard was a good idea after all.

Keep this up, and I should be in the middle of the table by GW10, even without Salah.

Indeed I finally saw a point I could appreciate to end the round, it certainly is how I hope to go, somewhere far above average for every GW. I climbed the top 10 earlier and it did felt good but now, I’m back to 14th. Point differentials aren’t much now but, one needs to keep getting it before the league eludes us.

Salah had a last minute performance to best my Pedro captaincy. Still, there wasn’t much in it like I expected.

Have two of my bench players lost to different leagues, would be looking for better substitutes before prices rise.

[Rruchi man]

Thanks to Salah yet again, he just keeps saving my ass whenever I need him to do so,

Liverpool have been lucky to pick up complete points in their first four games. They have not been very convincing to me; maybe the season just started because they are still struggling to win games.

Liverpool will be unable to get through the whole season without dropping points. They will lose a couple of games, and not just one, with what I see.

Everton next! I am expecting Grealish to do to Szoboszlai in RB what Martinelli could not do to him

Seriously I also think this leaving it late by Liverpool will certainly not help them throughout the entire season, today they were just 5 minutes away from dropping their first point of the season, expecting something happens I definitely think after the next international break this team doesn’t get to finish games early it will be bad for them. I reckon that winning games like this is usually when the season is already going to an end and you simply just need to scrape off some wins with an exhausted squad then but right now this season is just starting which is not proper for me,

Anyways as long as Salah continues to gets his last minutes attacking return I am comfortable with him.

I don’t think Szoboszlai will start the Merseyside derby with Frimpong already back from the injury but it will still be an interesting battle with Grealish regardless of who starts anyways

Frimpong has the potential to overlap with Salah on the wing, and that could give an opening that Everton could exploit through Grealish. I know he has good recovery pace, but his runs up front through the right flank has the potential to affect the shape and structure of the Liverpool team if they are cut on a counter attack.

Salah also has not been very visible in most games they have played this season, I wonder if Frimpong will improve that.

Bonus points are not official yet, but this is how it should look once everything is calculated. If you look on the official app, 1grindwhale will actually have 94 points but he has -4 points penalty for extra transfer. That is why we wait until tomorrow to announce the winners.

As far as I can see, 1grindwhale is the GW winner indeed. He has 5 points more than me, I guess those 4 points you mentioned yesterday were counted. I am a little upset about 2nd place, not the 1st, but on the other hand, I have never been so close to becoming a GW winner before. I am still new at this game and there are lots to learn, but GW4 was quite successful. I hope the next one will be even better. Good luck to everybody!

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Ohhh what happen, yesterday i think i was on the top of the gameweek for this pool, but today when i open the fantasy i was not close to it, seems like the system was busy and not updated when i check it yesterday.

Well not a bad round for me, but seems like a lot of people were saved by Haaland and Salah late goal.

Lets try again in the next one. Until now only Joao Pedro is paying me off for me.

Yeah now it is official, 1grindwhale is GW4 winner with 90 points. This was inspired selection with Haaland captain and heaps of points in the defense. 50$ free bet coming your way.
@Etranger read what follows for a bit more info.

Ohhh what happen, yesterday i think i was on the top of the gameweek for this pool, but today when i open the fantasy i was not close to it, seems like the system was busy and not updated when i check it yesterday.

Here is a short explanation how the FPL official game works and calculates points:
*clean sheets, assist and goals are added immediately (few minutes after they happen), there is a posibility that some attacking return gets added or removed until the day ends in case of some borderline own goals but that happens maybe once per season
*defensive contributions are calculated real time and 2 points added as soon as player hits the threshold (10 for defenders, 12 for mids). They are double checked after the game and can sometimes be added a bit later or removed if a player was borderline case, already happened once with Porro
*bonus points are added several hours after the games end, depending on your time zone you may not see them until next day, that is also the moment when leagues are updated with final scores, once GW ends no more changes are alowed

Here is how GW winner is chosen:
*all chips count, they are fair game
*all bonus points and defcon points count as well so it isn't official until next day
*all your negative transfer points are deduced in that week. That is why this week 1grindwhale, has 90 points and not 94. he made 2 transfer and paid -4 points for second one
*in case of the tie, higher total points is tie breaker

I think I covered most of the stuff here. By the way that is all official rules not me or icopress making them  

[Spack17]

I got 87 points this week and it was great for me. It still makes me worried that Aston Villa still can't score after 4 matches and I have Watkins. I still got surprised to see Watkins' price falling because Aston Villa have a really easy fixture. I even think of making Watkins the captain this week. I saw some people using WC in the league. I guess I'll wait for GW 6 for WC. What do you think about this 

[Smartvirus]

Anyways as long as Salah continues to gets his last minutes attacking return I am comfortable with him.

This was an out of luck with the Burnley defender trying to back away else, Salah could have easily blanked and I’m not very comfortable with him this season, Liverpool has come to have several players that could get the finishes done and they aren’t shy of taking shots from outside the box unlike Salah that hopes to drive in the box.

Here is how GW winner is chosen:
*all chips count, they are fair game
*all bonus points and defcon points count as well so it isn't official until next day

It’s not out of place that you get to explain this once a season as we obviously would have some new participants amongst us but, I can confirm on this to be how the GW point winner is chosen and allocated the bet bonuses, it ensures everyone have a fair chance at winning, no edge.

It's sickening to be honest, I didn't transfer Watkins out yet because I didn't want to do an early transfer with midweek European games to avoid any unforeseen injuries that would force me to make another transfer, but unfortunately he's dropped in price today again, and he might drop one more time before the week runs out.

The shocking thing is that this games for Aston Villa are those games that many managers were actually expecting them to pick points from because all the four games to me were not a red label (tough) games but yet they have yet to register a single premier league goal. I think most managers keeping Watkins are just looking at the possibility that if there should be any goals coming in for Aston Villa it will be from him, Watkins has three more games to stay in most teams which is the games before the October international break after then it will be very difficult fixtures for them.

If Watkins or Aston Villa blanks against Sunderland this weekend then I see him been dropped yet by many managers again and that will be more price dump.

Nope, not playing it this season, I already have way too many pools and I will not create a team just for one side bet. But we should organise something in the future maybe. At least few of us so that banter is better and potential rewards higher.

[paco92x]

Thanks to Salah yet again, he just keeps saving my ass whenever I need him to do so,

Salah may have scored the goal, but what was going through the mind of Hannibal Mejbri? It's the 90+ minute, a cross has been made, and you jump in the box with your hand raised like that? If I were his manager, the season would be over for the young lad. Your team is struggling to keep the score alive, and you do something like that in the last possible minute. I simply don’t understand what was going through his silly little head.

Oh no, it could have been anyone's mistake you could see instantaneously from his reaction that he felt awful would have willingly allowed the ground to open and swallow him up, if he had stayed idle and the cross was successful and led to a goal we would have blamed him too, but I could only excuse they way he twisted his ball without tucking his hand behind his back is because he's not a defender for which that would have been an instinctive move. It's was just an unfortunate incident.

Holy molly, there was actually a free UCL fantasy sponsored by SB on their discord channel with the announcement a few weeks ago, I completely forgot too, it's just really tough to keep up with just every single thing these days.

I will be participating in the UCL festivities, but not by joining any predictors or fantasy.

I have a very large position on Liverpool to win the UCL. If the odds increase to 32% chance then I will win a lot of money.

Wish me luck guys.

Yeah good thing you didn't accept the sidebet, I'm already hitting the ground running 

We talked about it last season you said you'd this season, now you're moving it again to next season. I might as well start looking for sponsorships and host UCL fantasy pool next season.
