^Why is everyone so hyped on Arsenal? They are actually quite bad this season if you compare their current data with last season data. Yeah, they had some nice results and got a lot of points so far but other then Saka I wouldn't really want any of their players for long time.

I completely have the same idea with you. For example they played very bad in the Chelsea match. Besides they were horrible in the matches they won home against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest as well.I'm always trying to give Saka a place in my fantasy squad because of his always being a player who can score and make assists anyway.

Hahah, nice to see the Haaland panic
The guy's built like a horse though, I think it's nothing serious.

What to say about Doku? 4 assists from expected 0.38 xA.
He's got 2 goals and 5 assists total from 0.5 and 1.7 xG and xA, way above expected return - especially today.

I do like how he plays though - he's very direct. I won't be picking him in my team (much better City options available), but fair play to 2% of the players that risked with him.

Finally Haaland can rest and give us the managers breathing space without too much tinkering, replacing him would be very essential and would separate the sheep from the goats, the Haaland template is beginning to get boring, you can't think of a replacing him even during his drought period because of his ownership would put you at a huge disadvantage.

I didn't watch a second of the match but after seeing the scoreline I was ecstatic, that this must be a good week, not nothing he didn't more than a single point

So are you saying to us the Manchester City scored 6 goals and no one was made by Haaland and Julian Alvarez? No sense. I cant imagine a guy who was making other things and heard the city make 6 goals, and he thinks to himself "ohh good how much points are waiting for me in Fantasy, so much goals for Haaland and Alvarez" and when he check..... NONE.

[Igebotz]

Then how was Joelington's push on Gabriel not a foul?

These people are big cheats!!!

Also, sorry for Arsenal fans that got a taste of the brutal EPL VAR. it's the same way Liverpool got a goal flagged as offside just a couple of weeks ago only for the goal to be confirmed after the game ended. Arsenal will probably receive an apology from the officials, nothing more.

Arsenal finally got the taste of their medicine!



Arsenal and Liverpool fans should not be complaining about VAR and FA decisions because both teams have benefited the most from poor officiating in recent years. Arsenal robbed Chelsea of two FA Cups due to poor officiating by Anthony Taylor in two finals, while Liverpool and VAR did the same thing to Chelsea two seasons ago in the FA Cup and League Cup finals. Everyone knows Chelsea was the better team in those finals and was cheated, but all we received in return was an apology, which you'll get on Monday night.

Anthony Taylor has been demoted to the championship for his years of wicked and terrible officiating. Very well deserved

that's what happened to me yesterday when i only saw the result and then realized that i only scored a measly 2 points with my two man city players (Halland and Gvardiol). nevertheless, i'm totally satisfied with my points tally (28) so far and i'm also glad that i changed my goalkeepers before the matchday (Flekken out, Onana in) - this change brought me an additional 6 points

Many of us in the same boat, this was the week programmed to make all those without Haaland regret it badly and in the end we get so many goals but he doesn't even makes it to 60+ minutes to get a 2 pointer. Only saving grace is that some people had triple captain on him as well, so it can always be worse  I have also seen a guy transferring Doku to Foden this week, that was a costly move.

This GW is terrible but at least it is terrible to most people so not a lot of harm done.

You can offset a bad captain gameweek by having a bunch of other players return at the same time, but it's quite hard to pull off consistently. Even more so, now that you can't fit a full squad of them in 100m anymore.

It keeps you hanging in there (well not you, you somehow got a 30-point buffer between 1st and 2nd  ), but otherwise you slide down the rankings.

City players score for me: +13 (thank you Ake!)

Go Nunez!

Arsenal and Liverpool fans should not be complaining about VAR and FA decisions because both teams have benefited the most from poor officiating in recent years.

Fact check of nett score from VAR interventions (positive means team benefited, negative means they didn't):
19/20 - Liverpool +2, City 0, Arsenal -1, Chelsea -2 (ref)
20/21 - Chelsea +3, City +2, Arsenal -6, Liverpool -6 (ref)
21/22 - Liverpool +4. City +3, Arsenal +3, Chelsea +1 (ref)
22/23 - Liverpool +5, City -4, Arsenal -2, Chelsea 0 (ref)
Current season: City +2, Chelsea 0, Arsenal 0, Liverpool -1

Nett 5 seasons:
Liverpool +4
City +3
Chelsea +2
Arsenal -5

Arsenal should be complaining the most, Chelsea/City/Liverpool benefited the most.

I expect that after the end of the game week the difference between 1st and 2nd place will still be about 30 points.

[cryptofrka]

I thought a lot about triplecaptaining Salah today, decided against it at the end. Hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass, I'm saving him for Sheffield.

The problem with that game is that 3 days after Liverpool's playing vs United - but still, Sheffield's on another level of horrible compared to Luton.
I can honestly see Luton surviving the drop this season - whereas I feel Sheffield's got no chance.

I'm on a really shameful 12 points so far, but some heavy hitters are yet to play. 44 is the best round result so far, a Salah hattrick gets me there

[icopress]

It looks like Haaland's owners can breathe a sigh of relief.

Funny week.. Salah scored 2 points against Luton, Aston Villa lost to Nottingham.

Lol You literally left out the FA Cup and League Cup robbery in order to make your scumbag club look better. I expected you to compel every decision, including the FA Cup and league cup which you robbed us of. Fans of Arsenal and Liverpool should not grumble because there is nothing to complain about. Every club has benefited in some manner; the only option is to demolish the entire technology.

Liverpool's performance against the league's worst team was embarrassing. I'm still under 20 points.

This was terrible week for most of us but still that means we did not loose much. In some other week 25 points would see me drop a lot of spaces but this week it is just a small red arrow of about 12k for me and I still have Son and Maddison tomorrow to get some more points.

Best decision I made this week is to not do a transfer. Anything I could have done like, destroy half of the team to get Nunez would have made my week so much worse. Unbelievable situations he missed today again. That chance when Salah headed the ball to him is unmissable 

[darxiaomi]

Noooooo man, this had to be the weekend where i cut the gap a bit between the Haaland guys and the Haalan't guys but Liverpool was a shit and Salah not score a single goal or assist.

What a strange weekend, no goals from Haaland Alvarez Salah Watkings and so on.

[NotATether]

This will probably be the one game where I hope Chelsea run riot and give Cole Palmer over 9000 goals or sometbing

Yup, I was confident I'm gonna catch up with Watkins and Salah after Haaland drew blanks. Really a weird round, nothing went nobody's way I guess.
I expected at least a CS from Tsimikas, but Klopp put Gomez there instead.

I finally made some changes and went for Son, with Odegaard being the victim. Arsenal's got a nice run of games ahead, so hopefully it won't be a big mistake.

The worst of them all is Alvarez, who played as the lone attacker when Halaand was substituted off in a match full of goals and yet couldn't get any, nor did he earn any assists, and it appears that he does play better when Halaand is on the pitch creating space for him. I'm sure Halaand would have gotten two or more goals from yesterday's goal feast. Liverpool and Aston Villa both played poorly, and it's difficult to blame them.

This will probably be the one game where I hope Chelsea run riot and give Cole Palmer over 9000 goals or sometbing 

We are handling them the first L of the season, they are our noisy neighbors and we do know how to beat them. Palmer and Sterling to be on score sheet.

[buwaytress]

41 points. Expected much more from Nunez, but I did get a cute goal from Diaz, who remained in my team. So there's that.

Fantasy Premier League. Not Fantasy mickey mouse cups heh.

Besides, VAR only used when Prem League teams are at home in FA cup, and no VAR in EFL cup, so I don't have verifiable data, too lazy to help make Chelsea look more of a victim than they're making themselves out to be. Maybe petition your club to invest $100m in some snowflake trauma therapy instead of attracting more crybabies.

Also, not interested in making Liverpool look better. No need to fix what ain't broke.

We were embarrassing, worse than you say, I completely agree. Please Blues, do better against Spurs... can't bear seeing their no-loss record.

I'm not asking you to make us look like the victims here; I was just startled when you let Arsenal play the victim card with your statistics while leaving the FA Cup games robbery. We can't change what has already happened, but I'm glad Chelsea got justice after signing a more than 100,000-signature petition against Anthony Taylor. This decision would make other refs more cautious in their decisions.

We always have good results against Tottenham, and if we don't earn at least one point tonight, we're done.
