a Rashford and Bruno blank against Leeds would mean a success to my Gameweek, and werghost goal ? nothing would beat the joy that comes with it.

I still can't believe you decided to go Weghorst route, he is not Premier League class player at least so far and he plays just because Martial is injured. If United wasn't for sale they would have bought a proper striker as it is they just got permission to use band aid on their least covered position. Rashford is the man in form at the moment playing for a club in form and having double game week. He was a definition of must have for this week.

KDB will be added to the Nunez category of players who will never return to my team until the end of the season.

I am actually quite sure Nunez will find a way to my team sooner or later. Liverpool will have double game weeks and he seems like best choice to gamble on. Salah is much more expensive and even less dangerous while Liverpool defense is something I am not touching for sure.

I'll be here to laugh at your Nunez DGW blank, which I love and I think I deserve it  @trofo.

A Rashford and Werghost blank, combined with Bruno's one goal and assist, would be the perfect week for me. I'm climbing because I believe I deserve it.

Oh no!! Assist to who? Antony of cause..

[Ulven]

I have Rashford and Haaland in my squad, but I didn't get many points this round, so I'll drop Casemiro and Maybe also toney from my squad.

@trofo
Well done for this round 
I think you activated the triple captain feature at the right time and succeeded in achieving many points

[casperBGD]

just noticed that United is playing Leeds during the week and for the weekend as well
not sure that they will be able to win twice, and it is a hell of a start for new Leeds manager

looking at game week, Tarkowski on the bench with 15 points hurts, but overall I am not dissatisfied with my choice, depend on Rashford play on Wednesday it could even be a good one (not sure if 14 points (in case he blanks) is more than good for triple captaincy)

Arsenal and City having DGW next week, but would not count on goal scorers in their duel

My reason for going the Weghorst route is not because I believe he's that good enough for the premier league yet or the Ten Haag system, but I only went him because I knew he get playing time in both fixture (too bad he didn't get to the minimum number of minute required to get the extra 1 point against Palace), and my projection for him was 4 point at the very minimal. Rather than a 2 point for a more expensive Mitrovic or just 1 point from Ivan Toney, so it was rather just a one gameweek pick, especially in relation to transfer budget.

Pep has officially gone crazy, as I just wrote in pool topic, he starts with De Bruyne on bench and then brings him in for Mahrez. I get it you want to maybe send wake up call to De Bruyne who is really below par for his high standards but to remove Mahrez when you need a goal is crazy. By far the best City player after WC and best one to make a goal from nothing

Pep really got it all wrong this time. I sort of get an idea of the game he was trying to play though, to play some psychological game with the Spurs team but, Conte wasn't there due to health issues and left the job to his assistant, such an important game and Pep was supposed to capitalise on all that but, the game he was trying to play just turned out to be a said one. Trying to put Spurs in a space where they would try to figure out what trick his got under his sleeves and then, make KDB want the game more than anything, watch and figure out what the teams aren't doing so well and delivers it when eventually substituted but, taking Mahrez off was just not it.

Mahrez has been a power house for the team, his runs, his crosses and he gets to go for the goal when his seen an opening which makes him vital to play a 90minutes in this game. Besides, the team was a goal down and R. Mahrez is definitely a player that could have changed things. Good enough, Spurs wasn't hoping to let City best them for a second time after having a lead start and somehow, Pep did let it happen. Not to mention the whole financial situation going on with City at the moment.

Heeeey, Bamford assist for the first goal, I'll take that. Rashford with a goal? I'll take that too! Not that I should be celebrating my FPL performance but I could have done a lot worse (like Varane/Casemiro, phew!).

But Leeds is always so scary man, two injury subs in first half hour describes just how much you put on the line choosing Leeds players in your team, no?

Also. Don't know this Skubala guy, and I don't think we can credit/blame him for the team performance today but I found out he used to be boss of England futsal. So expect even more lineup madness and rotation with this guy, I think!

It was an awful week for me, I might just need to bring in my wildcard already, I need a complete overhaul.

Rashford 20 points and 60 for triple captain for most players have threw me of the radar for the game week, but I hope I can make up for the deficit in the coming weeks.

Another double game week come up again, this time for Arsenal and Man City, it still doesn't feel like the perfect game week for my triple captain chip, especially with how awful Man City have been, I might just save for the second upcoming double game week with Arsenal up against Everton and Leicester City teams that actually concede better number of goals.

I can't complain, every week with 100+ points is good week. Just shows how easy it is to gain rank on someone when things align, I was 100 points of 3rd place and now it is just 30.

Rashford triple captain was one of the easiest decisions this season, it is really hard to find player in form with great double game week that is nailed enough to play both full games. City does not have an easy double anywhere and Arsenal is spreading their goals all around front 4. I have no idea who I would choose from Arsenal, maybe Saka? But he can easily stay without goal in two consecutive fixtures while Rashford at home has incredible stats.

congrats on that, it seemed so, I had only captaincy, but do not want to complain, could be better week, but it is good enough

Arsenal has one more, and that one seems with easier fixtures, Everton and Leicester
but overall, it is hard to pick one player to shine from Arsenal, Rashford was easier choice for past gameweek

I am saving my chip for last rounds, it could be helpful if position is tight

Yeah, so easy even I had to relent, thankfully.

89 points for me (because of my transfer penalty) but absolutely no complaints as I see that as a good haul, considering past performance.

City agree, I hardly put them in my team (Haaland is experimental and while he didn't work out, I put him right in when he last got the hattrick) except as a random "oh, he fits the budget", but no double candidates.

I'm always sticking with Saka, he's just too good whenever I watch him, I would even argue on a level consistently above Rashford, except in terms of end result (goal). Hard to explain watching them, but the points/goals don't care.

Problem is you can't use multiple chips on same GW. Later on there are usually big double game weeks. Meaning half a league has two fixtures and that is usually the time to use bench boost or wildcard. Then you have the problem of top assets being saved. Just imagine City playing CL semi final and sitting comfortably second in the league. Is even Haaland rotation safe in situation like that? Also there is more injuries and fatigue to account for and there isn't many players worth spending triple captain on.

learning day-by-day, it would be helpful for me to read the rules, but it is going solid so far without that
so basically, I can't use Free Hit and 3C in same game-week?

City and Arsenal have home fixtures and derby, should be good to have 4-5 players from both teams in the team, maybe even 6 players total

Yeah, you can only use a single chip per game week, that makes really tricky when hoarding these chips for the final few weeks or down the stretch, and the only issue with Haaland is that most times he doesn't need a double game week to provide a total just some 30 good minutes is enough for him to break all barriers so if it balls down to not using the triple captain this week or not get another a great double week, I just need to find a supposedly easy fixture to bank on and let lady luck decides its outcome.

Triple Arsenal is a must, they have a double and fixtures in both blank game weeks. They are also all reasonably secured and we know somebody will stay on bench only if he really need rest, not cause some bald guy had a bad morning and decided to screw FPL managers in effort to feel better 

That being said, Gabriel Jesus is back in training, so my favorite Arsenal asset Nketiah has suddenly become a little less nailed. Should be still ok for next couple of GWs since it was serious injury.

The only I have with Arsenal is knowing exactly who to pick, at the beginning of the season, it was Martinelli over Saka for most players after Gabriel Jesus, but later on Saka was the narrative until Odegaard began slowly and steady won a lot of peoples heart, so it's very tough to pick one, but it is going to be one in defense on the midfield and one forward until further notice.

I even foresee Arteta probably playing them together when the going gets tough as Nketiah have done just more than enough to win over any manager's heart.

Martinelli hasn't been himself since the second chance league, his been doing a lot of pressing but that's not what the FPL needs, with Traossard around the corner and with Jesus coming back into the team his likely going to lose his place in the team unless he starts picking up goals but right now I'm just keeping after this round. Saka or Ode is a must have for the DGW


What Do you guys think of the guy Mitoma ? The killer bean from Brighton.

he could be a good choice, but since they have Blank week in two weeks, with some other teams that I have picks from, I am not thinking about him at the moment
I already have trio from Arsenal, since restart, and they were solid, but far from great, now is their chance to shine

who to pick from City defense is a question now, Akanji or Ake, one will leave at HT with Villa, but only boldy knows answers on that question (not counting on CS with Arsenal)

You are right about Mitoma, that was some heads up I needed, I will set him aside for now

How many of these players do you have available for the upcoming DGW? Saliba, Martinelli, Nketiah Marez, KDB, and Haaland are the players I have. However, with everything going on at the club right now, I sincerely hope Pep doesn't awaken and ruin everyone's DGW with his terrible lineups. Mahrez has always been a crucial component for City DGW, and I sincerely hope that it continues.

Right now, none of the Manchester City defenders are worth keeping because none of the players you mentioned are guaranteed to play both games.

Owners of White, I've got bad news for you: Tarkowski is back and was seen training in the first team kit with Saka and the rest, while White was seen in the reserve kit.

[Harkorede]

Right now, none of the Manchester City defenders are worth keeping because none of the players you mentioned are guaranteed to play both games.

I'm quite sure Nathan Ake would play both games unless he's out injured, he's probably Guardiola's favorite defender right now imo, or Kyle walker, the reason why they might not be worth having is that they might not provide any offensive return, and a clean sheet could be off the cards for Man City so they're simply aren't worth it, given they situation of things, I might switching to Riyad Mahrez very soon, he's also been getting decent minutes, and decent returns too.
