I see igehh is considering to bring Saka and get rid of Nunez. Here is a trick question for you, who scored more points in the last 5 game weeks before this one, Nunez or Saka? I am sure most of you would say Saka and everybody is praising him and dishing hate on Nunez but Nunez actually scored two points more That is just to show you all how subjective we really are. I know I triple checked that stats before believing them.

I'm one of those idiots who still think Darwin will figure out how to score goals given the number of chances he gets; if Halaand had half of them, he would already have 30 goals. BTW, I wanted to switch KBD for Saka. I'm done looking at the stats from the past; Saka is more offensive and dangerous than KDB at the moment, and he also takes PKs and set pieces.

I'm yet to own Kevin De Bruyne for just a single game week in team so far, but it's not due to how highly or not I rate him, because I consider him to be the best Man City player even ahead of Haaland, but my problems lies on him person and what amount of points I can get from him, Saka for Arsenal right now is a must use option for as often as he's available, even though their upcoming fixtures are very tough ones, I still expect a number of Arsenal goals to go through Saka and/or Martinelli, I guess that's the the same reason why a lot of us go for strikers like Ivan Toney and Mitrovic, because they're often the major source of goal for their team, but a team like City have a vast number of alternatives, but we're all on the Haaland train simply because of his consistency and max playing time.

And I proved to myself I am at the most disorganised stage of my adult life. Not only forgot to do my FPL brought the wrong device to travel...

Damn! That hurts, lol.

As I write this, Darwin and Salah have already dropped a catastrophe. 

Yeah, actually don't think either of them were in my squad anyway but I really needed to purge a couple of long-term injuries. Not unhappy at all, kind of really need my own recharge in real life, so happy to assess the damage in my FPL when I can sit down this weekend.

Maybe this time I actually get Nunez in, am sure his price will have dropped by now?

Not really since he was never that popular, his price dropped to 8.9M yesterday. At this point of the season that 0.1M does not mean that much. I got rid of Darwin for Mitrović and so far it seems like good decision unless Mitrović gets red carded today and misses a penalty. You know at least one of those things will happen now when I wrote it 

That being said, Nunez gets so many chances and as long as he is playing 90 minutes I feel like he is a solid pick. It is just a matter of time before they start to go in and then he will get heaps of points.

not sure, he is good at penalties, and not that prone to red cards
but yellow is a possibility, and a harsh one

interesting matches tonight, Arsenal is probably most watched, but I am going with Everton, win over Brighton would be a great addition to point against City

It so far so good, I'm literally glad to have ditched Nunez for him too, but I think he should still get a couple of goals or assist more over the two games, I'm partially regretting my choice of playing Ward for Pope, because Newcastle are still yet to concede in the game, but Ward is down by a goal from Mitrovic, It was as though I was edging my pick of Mitrovic as captain by playing Ward because Fulham failing to score would literally mean Ward at least 7 points.

Newcastle are still trying to prove a point here, despite being heavily deprived of ball possession, they're still being a threat while attacking

EDIT: Damn Mitrovic, he just had to pick up that yellow card, didn't he ? I'd bet it was intentional from striker, he just had fu*k us over, doesn't he ? What a twat!

Oh man, that was one of the shittiest ways to get a yellow. He needed a day off to spend with his children. shit

Adding Shaw and Rashford to my team was the best decision I made all month. Rashford can't stop scoring, and Shaw, on the other hand, is in great form, getting into more dangerous attacking positions and taking his chances. Dejan Kulusevski has been my biggest mistake so far, and if I hadn't missed the transfer deadline, I would have replaced him with Andres. I'm so fucked up.

At least Mitrović scored a beautiful goal early on and got us some points. Did not watch the second half but I was almost sure he will get a yellow. It was just a perfect FPL knee jerk thing to happen.

Still quite happy with GW so far, now i just need to hit big on Pep roulette

It would have been a complete shit show if he had scored and picked up that Yellow card, but I would have fancied my chance with Haaland playing against Chelsea over the 5 points I got from Mitrovic.

My gameweek haven't been entirely bad too, If only I had left Nick Pope in starting line up, those 8 extra points would have come in handy, but that's past now, and I'll take any point I can get off Cancelo and I hope Haaland doesn't get a haul.

From a flawless striker to a flawless blunder. He broke my heart and disappointed his teammates, and now he will miss the Chelsea game.

I wish I had joined the mini-league when I had the chance because now I'm running wild. well advantage to the rest of the players

lol I'm also on this table; all I need is KDB to haul and Halaand to go blank for a perfect week. I've passed the 1000 point mark; it's been a perfect second chance for me; all I need to do now is get rid of you, and I'll be fine finishing fourth or fifth. I just need to work on my midfields and bench, and I'll be good to go.

Believe there is much worse blunders in FPL than this one. At least we got 5 points.

I still remember a couple of seasons ago, perfect double game week for City. I am taking triple captain on Aguero and expecting at least 40 points probably closer to 60. First game starts Aguero gets injured in minute 15 (or close to that) and misses next few games. That is a real hit to the balls, this could still work out quite ok, if Haaland doesn't haul.

The fact that he went over to the referee despite knowing he had committed a silly foul, told the referee to give him some, and then received it, infuriates me. I'm foolish to believe that I can smell something fishy because many bets were made that he would be booked before GW20.

With our current form, I don't think we can handle Halaand; our best chance of winning would be if Pep took the humorous route and opted to rest several of their most important players, as he always does.

A lot of things are hanging in the balance of how my points will be or performance of the GW, If Haaland should score more than Mitrovic did yesterday, then that's the first disadvantage for me but me still owning Haaland will only reduce how fatal the blow would be. Since, I never and still don't own De Bruyne so every single point he make is bad for me, However, I'm for all possible points from Cancelo.

bear in mind that Ortodox Christmas is in 3 days, and Mitrovic will now at least have free time to spend at home due to yellow card

looking at scores, more/less all teams having similar points so far, Shaw was major success after WC, and United overall, three clean sheets
Arsenal didn't scored last night, but I don't mind, their picks are around the top midfielders point-wise, and not that expensive

[Harkorede]

I'm very pissed with Mitrovic to be honest and I had to even check if Fulham are in the FA Cup since suspension are also meant to be carried over to that fixture.

It's going to be the second week in a row where my bench player amassing significant points, and Perisic leading the line today with 9 already and another potential bonus, Cancelo will be better off not playing at all if Guardiola has an intention of giving him a limited playing time or perform woefully again.

You sure about that? I am remembering something like if you get red carded or get second yellow that gives you suspension in all FA competitions and you have to miss next game no matter if it is cup or league. But I belive that this type of suspension that happens after 5 yellow cards can only be served in the league where you got it. I am not 100% sure and don't feel like googling so that is why I am asking.

they are playing Hull on 7th
but pretty sure that I saw somewhere on Twitter that Mitrovic is not playing against Chelsea due to yellow card, maybe not from FPL account, and meme's where people are shooting themselves in the leg, since he is captain in their team

on the other side, Pep included first line-up, with Foden and Cancelo against Chelsea

Yeah, my boy Foden finally in the first 11, expecting big things from him, probably gonna end up bad as usual

This time Potter pulled a page from Pep book and decided to start without Mount. The one player most fantasy content creators recommend just because he is the most secure player to start for Chelsea, other than Kepa. Now we just need Haaland/Havertz blanks and that Mitrović captain choice will look much better.

I guess this type of suspension doesn't get carried to all other FA competitions after all, because Fulham game vs Hull City should have been the one he was supposed to miss, but with all the assurance about him missing the next league game, I knew something must have been wrong.

Chelsea are playing so much better, I would have expected at least a goal from Man City given their starting line up, but Chelsea have been the team with most attempts so far. Now with Guardiola returning to what is popularly known to be his strongest starting xi, would you say I was right about him probably saving these players for these though fixtures ?

Nope, I am saying he does not trust them at the moment. Walker and Cancelo got subbed at the half time and Foden lasted 10 minutes more. That is it for me I am getting rid of both and probably taking Ake/De Bruyne for City double. They aren't anything special but they are playing a lot of minutes which is what I want from City assets. Especially in defense. If there isn't a double I am moving away from City.

Of course nothing I wrote above is regarding Haaland, he stays in my team for sure.

I'm actually looking to double/triple on Man City players but then I don't want to go for a defender and De Bruyne is rather to expensive imo, as there are several other cheaper options make getting very close points or even more while saving more than 4-5m, so I've got my eyes on an Arsenal player, there are just so many players on that 4 yellows card threshold and one away a suspension, that includes two Arsenal defenders, and Saka as well, so I might just wait a bit more, I'm however going to be likely taking some points hit, to get my team in better shape as it requires selling Cancelo, but I'd need to let go of another player in a different position to get what I'm longing for.
