With Doku it's an issue whether he'll even play, and how much. Same with Savinho for example.

But good that we can see the lineup first and change our players if they don't start the match😁

I ended up with 27 points in this round but now i will just forget about it and i am ready for the next round😁 Haaland and ekitike won't be on my team for sure😁

Yeah, just like myself I actually got lucky with Saka in the last round because I didn't even have the time to check the lineup but he was able to come up with decent amount of chances creation when he was brought on.

On Doku, you juts never know how many minutes he'd play, but if he does start then that's great news enough because you could ne expecting at least 50-60 minutes of football which might be enough, biut if Doku doesn't start and Haaland does, I might not care about sticking with Haaland in that case, but I guess we'll see another player I would have heavily targeted is Kudus, but he's out injured, it might end up being about going players that are naturally bound to score you points from goals and assist at the end of the day, if there aren't to many players that attempts dribbling as much.

I guess I for one won't be putting too much emphasis on dribblers

In this one I will. +2 points for a successful dribble is a lot, some players average 3+ per game.

I'm probably risking it with Doku - will wait for the CL games to finish. Skipping Haaland in this one for sure - better options from City elsewhere.

[Slissy]

Congratulations to all the winners!

I need a really good round, I'm in 5th place with 91 point in our event challenge. Harkorede who lead have 108 points. But with a new round anything can happen 😁 I'm going to have to find the players who can dribble and can also score at the same time😂

Well maybe might put some emphasis on it but not too much, then my mind will go into some form of overdrive and mess my initial picks up 
Yeah Haaland I'm not sure on myself he's just been off rather get someone else and not have to hope he does something, it's gotten pretty annoying to be honest.

Yes congrats winners good job, let's see if I can bounce back this week after that terrible GW.

Yeah Haaland blanks killing me each week, I don't think I have it in me to select him once again. Especially with extra points for dribbles.

Still getting used to having an ability to change whole squad every week and transfers until kick off, it leaves a space for taking much bigger risks.

Amazing how I always forget about this. I would have picked Doku and surely forget to change it.
I'll put a reminder on my phone now to check the City lineup - it is really a big advantage to be able to pick a player after the lineups have been announced.

Usually I pick the ones that will surely play but yeah - this time just pick a City player that starts on the wing. And also check if Estevao starts for Chelsea

I really didn't think I would end the round as the winner especially when I discovered that Saka didn't start the game and I had him while the match was on, but good enough that Arteta brought him on right in time for him for have enough chances creation...

I'm sure not going to give up on the coming round either, I think this round will likely be won with a defender/goalkeeper cleansheet as that tends to always pay significant impact on how the round ends.

Wow, I thought that I was the only one who is annoyed with lack of points from Haaland. I didn't look at the players chosen by other players in the FPL Challenge and I felt so stupid by choosing him round after round. And the best part will be when he gets a shitload of points when all of us choose another attacker

[Harkorede]

F**ck the San Antonio Spurs, bunch of clowns scored 70 points in the first half alone, and couldn't score 37 points over 2 quarters of basketball, wtf, they made me lose the beauty which would have set up nicely for the remaining wagering requirement with the UCL today... I'm livid!

Yup as my buddy Viv would say Law of Averages will kick in that day most of us don't pick him and voila!!!, goals galore but until then I'm not gonna hold my breath.
I'll just go with some other options that have been in better form recently and maybe see if I can get a good dribbler or two maybe get lucky and the players I currently have will spawn a few.

We are all annoyed and at the same time too scared to not pick him. He is doing nothing but you just know, first time you don't pick it, half of the pool will have captain on him and bastard will get 20+points. Game over for anyone that doesn't have him as captain.

It is sort of safe to go with him, most people will have him as well and you try to win it on other players. Even if you get it wrong it is rare that some other forward can punish you as much.

Yes I do agree with you it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation with him lol but it won't hurt to skip one week maybe . But yeah it is safe to go with him cause you just never know when the breakout game will come again and it is best to have him rostered just incase. But it's like when the hell is that gonna happen again, you would swear it would be this week against Wolves but they been playing half decent of late so who knows really.

Every good dribbler in the league is either not confirmed for playing minutes, or getting out injured, Jack Grealish who was one of my differential considerations is now out for 3 months, so it’s going to be half the pool with 80-90% of the same players, If Haaland were a midfielder, I most definitely wouldn’t not be having him for the round, which other forward is there to be considered even when consistent you can expect magic from any day and anytime, but for now I’m quite certain he won’t be my captain that’s if at all I have him.

[darxiaomi]

I miss the last round but for this one just in case i already made my team to not miss two rounds in a row.

I try to select players who can made a lot of dribbles but you never know how many ball time they are gonna get and how is gonna be the develop of each game, so lets hope for the better and wait for a win.

That is on your side, not game problem. I am always logged in both on PC and mobile. It logs me out once every few months and that is it. Always worked like that.

Goes both for regular fantasy and this challenge.

In this round I don't look at it from that angle - he's taking a spot from City.
Ideally it's Doku - if not him, I'd take both Cherki and Semenyo in front of Haaland.

Shame that Kudus is out - he'd be the first name in my team and I think not many would have him.

Same with me i never have that problem but I think I might have to log in every 3-4 months or something like that..

———————————

Haaland failed to score again in the champions league match.. This must be a mental strain for him to go so long without scoring a goal.. But I have a feeling that this will change against Wolverhampton where he will score 2-3 goals.. So I think I'll actually will take him on my team😂

You’re completely right now, after I thought of it that it’s after all 1 player per team, if Doku, Semenyo or Cherki plays on the flank they’ll likely be the go to, except for when one is think Haaland could score as many goals as successful dribbles the alternative might given that they playing against Wolves (which have suddenly become better defensively imo, perhaps it’s due to the teams they have been facing).
