Yeah but who is gonna risk? And who knows if he still being in low performance until the end of the competition. I dont see anyone who is in top taking that risk.
I know he is not a "flop" but the fact he do a super job in the last season and in the start of this one he was doing another sensacional performance and after mid season he falls this fast makes him a "flop".

Palmer 14 goals, 10 assists this season; went deep since December due to the condition of the team- a flop

Raphinha 15 goals, 9 assists in super Barcelona team- Ballon D'or shout-out.

Palmer is Palmer's problem, he set the bar too high for himself last season. Nobody expected his goal drought to last this long too. He's not a flop.

The bar for top players is consistency. He keeps missing easy passes and open goals - meaning that his head is not in the right place at this point in time.
His last league goal was in January, since then he's on 3 assists in 11 games, or one assist every 300 minutes. That is terrible, and is happening for 1/3 of the season.

Nobody says he's a flop - but in order to be portrayed to be one of the best you need to be there every game - not score 5 goals in 1 game and then go missing for 2 months.

GW 33 winner is Mahdirakib with incredible 100 points without any chips used. I sort of think this is the team that hasn't been tinkered with for a long time. 5 transfers saved, no chips used. A bit strange choices in some positions. Anyway it worked this week.

Send me your Rollbit username so we can credit that free bet. And make sure to open sportsbook at least once.

Im shocked how Mahdirakib won this GW ahead of me. I was o most certain i won the GW again and i go in and see i have 99 points and he has 100 points. Really a good job by him without any chips. I think now the problems are starting because i think everyone used up all of their chips. I personally had to risk -12 on transfers now

I was just as surprised as you are, thought you were going to muscle the rest of us all the way through but no, Mahdirakib came creeping through. Surprisingly he has Watkins on the bench, played Jackson against Watkins an Aston Villa DGW.

Your transfers:
GW33: 1 FT
GW32: free hit used, 1 FT
GW31: 2 ft, 3 used going -4 points
GW30: 1 FT, none used

Exactly as it is supposed to work. Don't know what is confusing you. You used free hit one week after using 3 transfers. Maybe you meant to do it week earlier?

Oh! That would be it, coming to GW32 with a 1 FT haven’t used 2 FT and taking a -4 hit in GW31. I completely forgot about taking the -4 hit. Thought that was neutralized with the FH chip but, that was entirely in a different GW. My bad, thanks!

Is Palmer the biggest flop of all this year?

I dont follow so much fantasy but what a shit performance made by him since the mid of the season until now. And he was/is expensive as fuck, we all know maybe tomorrow he wakes up and score a poker but damn, a disaster for cost/performance.

Nope, not by a large margin.

I'd put players like Foden and Son as bigger flops than Palmer.

Palmer may have not been S-tier good this season, but he has performed better than most other players this season.

Also Haaland was a flop this time.

Manchester City in general were flops this season, but I would not write them off next season especially if they reinforce the squad properly in the transfer market.

With good creative midfielders / playmakers, we could easily see 250+ PPS Haaland again.

Which leads me to this chart I created for next season:



Legend:

S+: Essential
S: Get as many as possible
A: Great players
B: Good players
C: OKish players only to be bought for budgeting
D: Bad players (FPL-wise), do not buy
E: Terrible players, do not buy
F: FPL flops. Do not buy
LOL: Are you playing Anti-FPL?

I built this on Tiermaker, and it doesn't include players who are leaving next season, players who are about to transfer to a different PL club (Cunha) or players who joined in the middle of the season. (Though Marmoush could find himself on "F" very quickly if he doesn't start returning).

This is the problem with the full statistic, some things are out of it. And for example i can say also he dissapear in the most crucial part of the season.

Most of the City players can fall into this category, and Spurs ones also, they play really bad this year, in the City case i feel like is a special one, we are not gonna know hwat happen but that locker room for sure was a mess, in a few years we are gonna know something new about the fights between Guardiola and some players.

I don't feel like maybe there was a fight in the locker room. I feel like the personal family issues faced by Pep this season affected him a lot, because a mentally unstable coach will not be balanced enough to analyze games and choose the right tactics or make good in-game decisions as he used to.

Manchester City may not really dominate the league next season, but at least they will not be as bad as they are this season.

Utter failure at the last DGW. Managed to even score double points without bench and DGW on my earlier season picks. Which just goes to prove season after season I'm doing the worst when trying to take advantage of chips. Might as well use up my last chip now and just follow some influencer teams. Can't even get Saka captaincy right on DGW, damn you Arteta for robbing him off full 90 minutes.

At least you didn't captain Merino like I did. Someone apparently kidnapped him before the Crystal Palace game.

[Harkorede]

I have made more than 10 drafts already for my freehit and every now and then I’m just trying to look for certain players that could be decent differentials, it’s as though 70-75% of the free hit teams would have the same set of players and it’ll be tougher to gain any point such, making the chip almost a waste.

I want to think like you, but everything point to be a fierce battle in the locker rooms, i still remember seeing him with all his head scrachet and we all know Guardiola is very temperamental. But like i said we are never gonna know what really happen.

The drop of performance in all the players was super suspicious, and some silly msitakes made by players also.

This is what happens when you're the only source of goals and assists in a team - he's the only one creating for the team and also trying to create for himself - now he's on a rough patch and nobody is there to put in on the plater for him to score. Apart from being in a heavy drought, he's performance has been positive.

Palmer is being man marked in every game this season - the easiest way to stop Chelsea is to stop Palmer. The rest 10 logs offers nothing..

Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly the son of the Egyptian Ghaly Salah, this weekend I will be your biggest fan. Destroy Spursy for me.

Last week was really difficult especially because it was a double round. Saka didnt do anything and it really wierd. For me it was really good that he didnt play anything because i was able to make up for some points. Didnt see that there were be blank players for next round and that really killed me. Going -12 hurt me in this race for 7th place

Just gonna put this here, not everyone is on the freehit. There are people that choose to free hit earlier and don't have the chip anymore. Fact you are on the free hit means a lot by itself. That gave you opportunity to also maximize the points in GWs around free hit. Free Hit is a chip that is difficult to correctly judge, it has impact on weeks before and after since it lets you do some stuff with the team that would otherwise be impossible.

On the other hand just this one week you can go crazy without much consequences. You think Liverpool will destroy Spurs? Take Salah, Diaz, Jota. You think Chelsea -Everton will be a snoozefest that ends 0:0, take 4 defenders from these 2 clubs. Best thing you don't have to think about next week.

You’re not alone in this Buwaytress, season after season, I’ve showed a really terrible use of chips. Something Igebotz has grown more confident about me for to even go public on.
I used my my WC and it didn’t deliver expected points, Newly AM chip and it was shot on points, did I even make 5 points out of it… then I did a FH and though the point was a little bit above average, it didn’t exactly suit the timing for it. I’ve got a few chips now and it already feels like the wrong time to use it as I should have applied it some time ago.
Chips haven’t really been a pillar of strength in this league.

Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly the son of the Egyptian Ghaly Salah, this weekend I will be your biggest fan. Destroy Spursy for me.

Lol

Did you captain Salah or something? 

I don't even have Salah in my free hit squad, because I think he will just get an assist at best.

(We will win the league regardless, just unlikely to be from a Salah goal.)

[Mahdirakib]

I was just lucky in the previous game week with my squad. To be frank, I didn't had any expectations with my squad. I haven't used any chips until now. Overall, my performance was never good in the leaderboard. As a result, I was never motivated to use the chips.

Im shocked how Mahdirakib won this GW ahead of me. I was o most certain i won the GW again and i go in and see i have 99 points and he has 100 points.

I was just as surprised as you are, thought you were going to muscle the rest of us all the way through but no, Mahdirakib came creeping through. Surprisingly he has Watkins on the bench, played Jackson against Watkins an Aston Villa DGW.

I'm also surprised like both of you . Watkins was always a better choice than Jackson. Still, I had Watkins on the bench in most of the GW. @Joca97, sorry for snatching the GW 33 from you .

Of course he did and has always reserved his TP for Salah but, into nothing forth coming should they bag this win. This be a celebration match for them and you’ll be damned sure he used the TP.

I see your team in good shape already @Igebotz, backline all looking like my forward in points. You’ll better step up your Salah fandom and be enveloped with his worship in all languages to make him step out from his goal drought today. Didn’t captain him and I’m not sure I would like that but, he’s done much favors through the first phase of the season to some part of its second phase and could do this to end it on a celebratory note.

[buwaytress]

Agree, Igeh, I also captained him haha. He has been blanking so long he has to offload against Spurs, right? And this is the only team that won't defend against us too...

I tried to copy some EPL guy's team for my freehit but my budget didn't allow for Salah AND Palmer inside, and I really wanted to bring Mbeumo and Semenyo back, so I sacrificed and peppered the squad with Chelsea (but shame put the defender on bench). Least Wolves got me some nice points, and Jose Sa almost cost me a clean sheet bonus... couldn't have been happier when Ait-Nouri came off soon after. Was really tempted to captain either Cunha or Jimenez... Cunha had a field day and Jimenez almost lost to Saints. All my calls this season vs relegation teams have never come off, so I will still #pray4Salah.

You’re not alone in this Buwaytress, season after season, I’ve showed a really terrible use of chips. Something Igebotz has grown more confident about me for to even go public on.

Ooof, hearing your chip pain makes me feel less sour, so thanks. At least my freehit is now already on a decent haul with Liverpool still to play. I benched the wrong players though (12 points now on bench and i of course used BB last week with only 4 points ha ha ha).

[cryptofrka]

Isak didn't do much today and I was dumb enough to replace Tripier with Barnes this morning so yeah, Igebotz's triple captain on Salah looks a bit frightening.
He can easily get 15 points tomorrow, meaning 45 in total for him.

Spurs are way better than their position says, but are a team that can concede 5 goals in 45 minutes if things go wrong for them.

[Harkorede]

Another week in which overthinking just wouldn't help, sometimes the best and right way is the easiest way, that doesn't have to seem to complicated.

I brought in Raul Jimenez in the last minute after I learnt of Muniz's injury, as I was initially planning to play 3-5-2, also I've had Jose Sa all week long as my keeper but I felt Wolves defense is weaker than that of Fulham.
