Hi guys one newbie question, i see some players have two games below his names, so they are gonna take into account two games for this week, if i choose one of them as a captain the captain multiplier is gonna affect both games right?

Yes. That is called double game week and we all like to target those players. This week City and Liverpool players are super popular pick while someone maybe even takes someone from Luton or Brentford.

Guys, can I use TC and Wildcard in the same game week?

Don't think so, no.

From the Official FPL help page:

No, only one chip may be active in a Gameweek. For example, it is not possible to make transfers with your Wildcard chip and then use your Bench Boost chip in the same Gameweek.

It looks like everyone is doubling down on their teams to rack in MASSIVE points. Not me though as I'm still in a dilemma.

What 3 City players are Y'all getting?

KDB, Foden, Haaland or KDB, Foden, Alvarez or what other combo? I want to get Haaland but I saw this earlier in the week from NotATether:

Oh you won't believe it, I am so pissed right now.

Few days after I brought Haaland (finally) in my squad, his grandma dies and now he is a major doubt for the upcoming DGW.

I had to rip apart my squad just to kick him out.

For Liverpool, I might go with Jota, Lucho, and maybe a defender or Alisson if at all he is back from the illness of last week. So much to consider as I plan to maxima ten this GW25.

What about Luton x Brentford assets? Toney, anyone?

Re: Haaland it could be a ruse. Pep played him in the CL match and I think he might have even scored.

Tricky part is that the funeral is 2 days after the second City game so that could be a banana skin.

Either way, I went Jota + Haaland => Salah + Alvarez just to be safe.

But with so many people TCing the robot, that could be dangerous.

PS. Don't overlook Arsenal assets this week.

[cryptofrka]

Klopp saying Salah's fit is the worst thing that could happen to me, now I have to reassemble everything once again.
I'll probably take him, although he surely won't start tomorrow. But he'll probably start vs. Luton - which is one of the easiest games of the season.

The other thing that bothers me is who to captain. Now with Salah back, Nunez isn't guaranteed to start both games. Go with KDB? Meh, City has worse games than Liverpool.

Whatever I do, I'll overthink it and fuck it up

[CLS63]

As Manchester City are going to play both matches home this week I don't think we can find a better opportunity than this for Haaland TC. Even though he couldn't score in the Copenhagen match I think he was effective. He showed that he could score at any moment in the last 20 minutes of the Everton match too. TAA's getting injured ruined all my plans. I had to spend -8 points for transfers this week.

[Igebotz]

I forgot to proclaim 1 mBTC free bet winner, probably because it is buwaytress this time and nobody expects that from him in Fantasy 

Kidding aside, this was done on Luis and Luiz points that came differential for him. Congrats on very nice 85 points.

This robot has a strange way of discrediting efforts; we know buwaytress had no idea how he got there, but you didn't have to make it so obvious. In FPL, the more differential points you score, the higher your chances of reaching the top.

@buwaytress- Bitcoin is for solving problems that's my ideology of Bitcoin.

FYI  Halaand Yellow card this weekend is guaranteed - he's going to pull off his shirt for mama when he scores and miss the next game to rest.

Most people probably would have already TC him including me as well but after reading news about his grandmother, I dont think he is mentally fit to even score that many goals.

Tricky part is that the funeral is 2 days after the second City game so that could be a banana skin.

So there is a chance that Pep might even left him out of the lineup for the 2nd game huh considering that they are only playing against Brentford then I dont really think Pep would even need Haaland to fetch him some goals. It is what it is I guess, I decided to TC him this round so yeah I dont think there will be better upcoming round to do so

It is a two way thing, it is either he is not mentally fit to play, or he is very mentally fit to play and score goals in honor of his Grandmother. The assist will surely come and chances for him to finish.

He will have to find another way to celebrate when he scores because we all expect him to score.

Buwaytress knows I consider him a friend, and that was just that. A way to honor his incredible talent of picking poor fantasy options. That is also fine since he is kicking my ass often in other pools. Just like he just took AFCON money home.

You are on the other hand a perfect target for all kinds of jabs since we always get a reaction  Hope we will catch a drink once as well. It is always nice to put a face to nickname.

You are definitely right about Haaland yellow, going to place a bet now on it and then martingale a shit out of it if it doesn't land.

Scoring and getting a yellow for a tribute to mama is fun - everyone does it.

I should be getting paid for my reactions as the Sherrif ( oh I'm getting paid ) Lol.

I haven't looked into the option of downloading bet history on SB, but one day I might ask Buwaytress to email it to me just for fun--I'd like to see his crazy bet slips and what he does with his favourite kid Darwin Nunez every season.

I am not a mansqarade, and I lost my privacy a long time ago; if the forum calls for an actual meeting, I will be the first to come. My face is too gorgeous to hide. We're going to get a drink. I'm not sure when or where, but it will happen.


Halaand to be carded ( Yellow) is 5.5 odd on Russian bookies. I'm gotta make some folks rich this weekend.

[Harkorede]

Quite a blow to lose Diogo Jota too early into a double game week that I expected way too much returns from him, but he's at least pay some sort of dividends in the short period he played for with that assist that Darwin Nunez was able to convert perfectly.

Now Mo Salah is officially back

It's a huge blow to me and my team. I initially wanted to include Salah, but skipped it because there's no way to get Salah, Haaland, Saka + some other differentials on a tight budget. I watched the game and that Jota assist really impressed me only to see him gets subbed up later Salah which was a pain to watch. Now I can only hope that he gets fit again before that Luton game. What's bad about this is that even if he comes back before that Luton game, Klopp will start Salah ahead of him.

It was unforseen so I won't blame myself too much. I hope other members of my team can deliver.

GW started so good, Nunez and Jota returns, Salah on the bench as expected, clean sheet in progress. Then injuries happen and I loose both attacking guys and now even clean sheet wipeout. And of course the scorer is Toney who is certainly in my rivals' teams. Ah well, was bound to happen as always when I am expecting big things.

[cryptofrka]

I gambled on Salah and Lady Luck smiled on me this time. Jota is almost certainly out of the Luton game (it is probably a knee injury) but I hope that Nunez substitution was a precaution of some sort.

Salah did his part, now all eyes are on Haaland. I have a feeling he'll score 5 goals in the next 2 games.

[nelson4lov]

cryptofrka and icopress, I see what you did there with that Salah selection. You both took very risky bets on Salah that is paying off right now and fueled by injuries of Jota and possibly, Nunez. Goodluck for the remainder of the GW, great start so far.

Ah well, was bound to happen as always when I am expecting big things.

I share in your pains, My Jota + Nunez combo has been nuked so hard. I will wait for Nunez injury report but it'd be much worse if neither Nunez and Jota plays the next game against Luton town. Fingers crossed and hopeful to still get much more from this GW. Not going as planned so far.

Getting Mo Salah right this game week doesn't seem logical to me, especially given the fact they have blank week for the next round, That'd be tying some decent funds up that could into bringing in other players with better game weeks and assured playing time, but it's the FPL, we've more weird things happen right ?

Jota and Nunez looked very bright into the game, and they could have contributed for 2 to 3 goals combined if the unfortunate injuries hadn't happened, and neither would Salah have played more than some 10-15 minutes just freshen up, however, it is what it is!

I have read so many things about the death of Haaland's grandmother that I changed my mind about using triple captain. On top of that because of Manchester City's playing a Champions League match during the week I thought that he would start as a substitute. However Guardiola has him in the starting 11 today. I hope my wrong decision doesn't damage me very much.

As we made a sidebet at the beginning of the season I'm checking icopress' squad every week. I was surprised when I saw Salah. However congratulations on his gaining a big advantage together with Jota's injury.
