Edit: seems like Palmer got some last minute illness.

This MF was supposed to be my captain!

My -12 turning out to be a terrible call..

Without the penalty, I would have had 24 points from 7 players (would still have brought Sels and Wood).
With the penalty I collected 28 points so far, so 16 + whatever Bruno brings.

Kinda assumed this might happen - but didn't expect such a disaster. Evanilson, I blame you - or should I say - I blame Trofo who managed to convince me that he's a better option than Larsen or Marmoush.

See, fellas? Mafia even stabs their own..

I had really thought of bring Larsen in but the only reason why I didn't was because I considered the two game stretch where Evanilson plays Ipswich next, but If I could go back in time I'd choose differently 

My only regret thus far is not sacrificing Palmer so I could get Haaland since Palmer didn't even play at all, but on the flipside I probably would not have been really better off because that would for a -4, except I manage to bring in someone like Elanga (which I doubt).

I only have 36 points so far, but with captain Bruno left to play, hopefully he'd provide some magic and save the day.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing - but that is about 15 points above safety.

[cryptofrka]

Not the best of luck in some choices - switched captains from Bruno to Wood this morning and went for Evanilson although I preferred both Larsen and Marmoush.

Hahah, my magic with the captains has no end. It is incredible that this happens basically every round.

At first it felt like bad thing because of how much I was expecting from the players that have played, but then considering how it went with everyone else who took a hit, I think it was pretty great week for me, crowned by my decision to captain Bruno Fernandes. I believe this should be the most points advantage I’ve had over players ahead of me or that I’m closely ahead of this season.

Bringing in both Bruno and Halaand was one of the best decisions I've made this season, and I'm not disappointed that I switched captaincy from Bruno to Halaand before deadline.  I'm delighted I've been making good decisions lately.  Green arrow.

Salah doesn't give me any reason to put him back in the lineup; he's out of shape, and Liverpool is looking dreadful without Trent.

If only Arsenal are in the position where any little drop in Liverpools form will jeopardize their position and pass the advantage to Arsenal, I would have had more hopes now that we could still turn things around. Liverpool just like last season are looking like they will tire out.

This should have been one of the worse GW’s for me, took a -12pts hit and got stuck halfway due to poor reception.

All I can say is Glory to God.

Does it take just a non-league game for a player to be out of shape ? because Salah hasn't blank in the last 8 games in the league, I can't seem to understand if this only coming up because of the UCL and EFL (a week) games. Anyways, there is almost all the certainty in the world that Salah would remain in my team and most likely my captain all the way.

My biggest worry now is how to use all my chip to perfection because I still have almost all of them, Free hit, Triple captain, Wildcard and Bench boost, with a max of one chip per week, I've got a lot of work to do as to when to use each of them.

You still wouldn't turn shit, Arsenal were leading with more than 12 points at this stage last season if I remember correctly with no injuries. The rest is history..

Sometimes it takes only 1 game and Salah has gone 3 ( being the shittest player in those 3 last games ) I'm more interested in his body language- this was the must needed international break for him.

I still have mine too but likely going to use one on any one playing against Leicester or Southampton after the international break.

I think it was the FPL Tools chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bplgdnfjlmbnjpibjogpoabahffibepk

Unless it was something I posted before 2024. (Yes I did a forum search, and it was exhausting, to say at the least.)

It shows you the points for the past 5 game weeks for each player, on the FPL website.

[buwaytress]

I thought last GW was bad, I'm just about smashed up in this one... no Palmer to get consolation points, a crap VC, and no one from the bench to rescue me either. Me very sad, but that's what me gets for actually thinking I had a chance at top 3, must be the airsickness from not being used to such a high placement in FPL.

FPL. More like FML.

To be honest, I actually considered this as well. Liverpool looking terrible recently.
Still, everybody will have him, everybody will captain him, with mostly easy fixtures for LFC this is a dangerous road to take.

Could be a great choice, but going without a player that is 120 points ahead of the next one looks like the wrong kind of gamble.

Thanks for the effort, isn't that one unfortunately. Maybe even better that I don't see it again

EDIT: a quick Google search and I found it.

476 points in total, top teams have between 570 and 650.

It shows how important the captain choice is overtime, if you have 100 more points now, you'd be in the top 4/5 right now, crazy! If you consider how most of your decisions about picking your captain for each week, is it that you want to go against the most obvious choice, i.e chasing differentials, or is it usually from a place where you belief that whoever you pick should get more points?


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

Does anyone have any information on Isak ? according to flashscore, he was subbed due to an injury yesterday, I don't know if it's true and if there is any update about Sweden national team squad for the international break. I have a feeling that he might be trying not to go for the international break giving his recent injury troubles.

My triple captain is probably going to be on him in DGW32 (at this rate he might probably play only of the two games), but if he's not fit, I'd gladly fancy Haaland against the Leicester City in the coming GW, so Isak's availability is already directly impacting if I'm going to bring in Haaland now or Isak himself.

[Trofo]

GW 29 winner is Spack17 with 78 points. Really impressive in a blank GW, managed of course by giving captain band to Fernadez and having Milenković in defense. Well played.

Send me your Rollbit username in PM and open the sportsbook at least once.

Yeah, that's a bummer. I was searching for the captains statistic because generally I feel that I made a lot of good calls and that I'm having a good season management-wise.
Add that 100 captain points (which would put me just in an 'average' bracket) and my season actually looks great.

I was chasing differentials, but with players like Palmer, Haaland and Saka. The problem is that they often didn't do anything in the easiest fixtures possible, ending on 4 points.

Ain't that the truth!!! I remember I had a crazy run of 4-5 weeks of captaining Haaland and all I kept getting was just 4 points week in week out, I don't he scored more than 12 points (6pts) more than once then, it was simply devastating because other were getting better returns from the likes of Salah, and Palmer then, it was since then I switched to Salah, come rain, come shine he's been delivering well, and I don't see any imminent change coming soon.

Everyone who had Salah on captain this season profited a lot and thats why there is a large gap in points between top players and middle players. I captained Haaland for a long time then i sold Palmer at his best and got him back later when he was bad and that costed me a lot this season. Now everyone is on Salah and i just cannot comeback to the top

The next Liverpool game will be against Everton, who have been in form lately and have refused to lose easily. For Mohammed Salah, there's another performance concern because from the Champions League game and the Carabao Cup final, he looked pretty out of form at this moment. Hopefully it doesn't continue and affect the record he has planned to set in the Premier League this season because he is already very close to making a new premier league record this season.

Ramadan fast isn't looking good on Salah, it's affecting his performance - Salah greatest strength is pace and without food In his stomach it's difficult to take on players with food in their stomach. 

Not having the best FPL asset is risky, but I still feels he's going to blank most times this month than ever. Is there any link to check the total average score he produced during last year Ramadan fast?
