We get to pick just one manager in all of these 3weeks or we can switch managers through the week.
Any ideas or some better understanding what that line might mean?

You can switch the assistant manager after the first pick which is free, but at the cost of a free transfer or -4 points just like players.


Just too bad that the chip, like every other one still can't be used together, meaning, for this one as well, when activated one cannot use another chip for the next 3 game weeks.

The mystery chip is complete garbage, and it is much worse that one must create a budget and make room in the team to accommodate a manager. I can't have Enzo Mascara with 3 Chelsea assets. How does it make sense ?

[Harkorede]

I really like it, when we discussed what additions we wanted to see, I said I'd like to have managers added into the game.
Could be a lot of points if played correctly, let's see who'll make the most of it.

Whoops, I just used up my 1.3m balance. Now I will have to reshuffle after December to fit in this chip. I like it too, it's definitely a start to having managers, and at this moment, I could slot in any manager I want since I don't have the max 3 per team in my squad (another departure from my old style of max Liverpool assets).

BTW any of you actually follow the advice from The Scout? The email that comes into your inbox. I've been picking 1 player or 2 from the Scout picks, every time I'm forced into a transfer. Their captain advice is off though (every time they say Salah is not it, he is haha).

I won't be surprise if someone from Man United is in-charge of that Scout by FPL, given how well the club has done in this past year in terms of scouting, you know it's just about right...

I really don't ever follow anything they say, and sometimes when our thoughts seem to be aligned, I really do tend to go another route.

The only chip I've actually thought about this so far this season is the triple captain chip, and that was because of the Liverpool game being postponed, aside that, I think all my chip will come towards the final stretch, If I don't find a reasonable window to slot them into, the assistant manager chip however does feel like the best window would be the week right after my second wildcard.

I guess one just have to live with it right, just like with maximum of 3 players per team, I'm sure a lot of us really do want to have more most times, but that's the beauty of the game at the end of day, a little bit of tinkering, a little bit of complication.

For me the biggest issue is that it blocks you from using other chips in that period.
By using it smart, it can actually bring big points - especially if you go for an outsider.

Fitting it into the budget will be a pain in the ass though.

Managers from smaller teams will be able to rake in more points than the obvious managers from big clubs when they face a club ranked at least five places higher, to encourage us to choose managers outside Pep, Slot, Arteta, and Maresca.

I like that you can change your choice of manager even after choosing to use the chip. The manager you have in the first week can be changed; it is not locked in for the entire period the chip will be active.

I already have an idea of an option in my head.

[darxiaomi]

Another round where is pretty difficult to pick a captain for me, the doubt about Salah, Palmer and the wake up of Haaland still pretty dificult to choose between them.

About the manager chip, i want to see how that really works when enters into play.

You will need to take -4 points to change a manager just like normal player transfer.

Enzo Mascara in GW 32, 34, 35 and Arteta GW 33, 34 and 35 fixtures are good safer options on paper now. I may likely take the risk of getting a lower manager for one GW before switching to safer options..

Mostly my thing is between Salah and Palmer but im going with Palmer in this round i think he will do great with his form. Haaland was took off so sold him i dont see any value in him especially with his price. Also i dont know if Kelleher will be on goal due to Allison being back and i just bought Kelleher so i dont know if thats a mistake

How come Haaland is still in your consideration with how he's performed lately, it's already surprising enough that you still have him on your team, but thinking of captaincy, that's another level trust you're putting in that team, tbh. I guess you're trying to hit the biggest differential of the season, right ?


-----------------

I'm still at a crossroad with Mbeumo, he literally saved my butt last game week, and I still don't have any clear alternative right now, would have said Bruno, but I wouldn't go for him against Man City, even with the shambles Man City are currently in.

I will be taking the risk with a lower manager as well, I have a few names in mind, but until then, though, let's keep watching and seeing the performance of each team and manager.

Brentford have a very good record against Chelsea from the past seasons and the number of times they have played. Maybe they can do it again this season and give Enzo a heartache; it is not impossible even though Chelsea are more in form. I will consider Palmer captain, but may not end up with him.

But you need to take into consideration that Brentford is the worst team in the league in away games plus that they concede a lot of goals so thats why im going with Palmer rather then Salah. Salah had a week to get rest but Fulham isnt a team that often losses easily to big teams. Thats just my opinion here.

Hahaha im not that crazy he is like my third option, but i need to cut the points between me and the top so i need some risky moves, and we all know he can be back and score big again in sometime, so im triying to catch it.

Yeah, I do understand where you're coming from, and If I'd also happen to still have Haaland, I'd also be constantly looking for matches to possibly milk to my advantage.

I think it's going to be another week without any transfers for me, I really can't find anything worth the transfer, and I can't afford Arsenal's Saliba without going overboard beyond my two free transfers.

[Smartvirus]

I think it's going to be another week without any transfers for me, I really can't find anything worth the transfer, and I can't afford Arsenal's Saliba without going overboard beyond my two free transfers.

I would feel terrible if Gabriel didn’t play for Arsenal in this GW16. I already lost points on him in GW15, been thinking of getting Saliba but, I square them the same and Gabriel is always out for those crosses.

Someone am looking to get in my team is Rogers and even if I successfully get him in, I’m going to have a hard time playing him without coming by some difficult choices. His transfer would be done from the bench, at least I’ll have enough to bankroll his transfer but, getting him on the pitch is substituting Mbuemo and I don’t really weigh in on who could perform better.

[igebotz]

I will be taking the risk with a lower manager as well, I have a few names in mind, but until then, though, let's keep watching and seeing the performance of each team and manager.

Still few GWs away but my risk decision would be solely based on my position in the pool - if I'm still below the price position then I'm likely going to take a lot of risk with low rank managers and hope it hits.

Tired of waiting for Konate recovery, took another -4 to avoid another price drop.

[Smartvirus]

With a couple of hours left to finish up with those transfers and pick your team, I have managed to come to terms with my Rogers edition on the team but, am looking at places where I can lose point from the defense and the flaw as I see it now is where to expect more goals in the fixtures between Liverpool Vs Fulham and Newcastle vs Leicester City. It’s a likely win for the home side but, between Liverpool and Newcastle, what team do we think would be making the rounds in the goal scoring?
I’m having to choose between Robinson and Faes here for my defense line up.

Don’t stray too far to come to terms with what you ought to be doing with your team mate, we almost half of the season already and things could take a quick paced turn. Taking those point hits, was it entirely necessary? I guess we would find out real soon if the bench would have done good for you.

[cryptofrka]

Had Salah as captain, Palmer as VC, changed it in the last second. I was also considering Isak for quite a bit.
I have a feeling my team will bring huge points this GW, those usually end up being terrible.

Most of us have the same players anyway - wherever I look midfield is practically the same. That's why I need 20 points from Isak

The game only just started and a Liverpool already are at an early 1 goal down with Robertson have gotten a red card. How promising would this be for Liverpool, I can’t say. We might not find Salah being too aggressive going forward which might mean, less points in this GW. Palmer would have made a better choice I think but, we just might stick to fate in this round, Liverpool wouldn’t want to lose at home as the case might be.

It appears a made a bad choice with Faes and Robinson as, he gets an assist while Fae is yet to future. Hope it stays that way though and he doesn’t get substituted in for the second half of the game, that would destroy my hopes for an auto substitute as it is.

[Harkorede]

That's why I need 20 points from Isak

You asked for 20 and he gave you 18 (C), I don't know if he's getting any bonus points, so it seems really fair.

--------------

Ait-nouri after a really fruitless stint on my team, he's finally departing, at least him missing the next game makes it a necessity now, I thought he was only shown a yellow card, but why is he displaying as -2 points on the FPL portal ?

Isak gets 2 bonus - but I captained Palmer. 11 total points is fair, 1 more goal/assist would have been perfect though.

Ait-Nouri got a 2nd yellow in the 95th minute, so negative points are correct.

I'm getting rid of Havertz, what a waste of budget. Saka will be evaluated as well.

[Woodie]

The Premier league is crazy,  having some Aston Villa assets I was certain that this game would end as is with that 1 goal scored in the 63rd minute especially that the Chris Wood goal was disallowed in the 82th minute...
I leave to get something to hydrate and comeback to the TV screen only to find Nottingham Forest are ahead, like wtf just happened here**jaw dropping** Such scorelines and how fast it all happened makes these games look like they are fixed matches...otherwise today's games favourites didn't have it easy

We wait for the Manchester derby..
