Heh, Cherki did good after all
Will probably help me keep the top spot - will check properly tomorrow after all the points will be added.

If all he needed was 5 minutes after checking in to get an assist who knows what might have happened if he played the whole game today, not bad, that assist was duly needed for me to stay insight too, and Haaland no appearing at all reduced the damaged he did from the weekend.

With Arsenal at home to Burnley Raya seems like the obvious call but I think there's a better way to play this.

I’m definitely not going to have Raya in my selection although he’s the current one in my draft, I have a feeling that Burnley would get on the scoresheet against Arsenal, so I need to play it another as well.

Here we go again with pep roulette lineup😁 No Haaland, Duku, or Cherki from the start today😂 but looks like pep made the right choice.. I fell a few places in the event table in this round but hope is not over yet.. At least i think i won this round against Trofo

Yup had a feeling it might happen too but what can we do it's Pep afterall gotta expect some weird shit when he's behind the helm, dropped almost out of top 5. I need a huge round next game week to gain some ground so at least when the last week comes around it wont be that bad, but still I'm amazed I'm even in the convo for top 5 I must say.

So, Cherki managed to squeeze one assist which made me climb up by one spot in the event. I hoped that I would get at least one more assist from other players, but I'm OK with how this GW ended up. It's better to climb one spot than to fall a few spots The next GW with the goalies will be interesting. I think that other players and their scoring will be pretty important too.

It was quite close at the end. Could have gone my way but you clawed one back. 9:4 now in my favour.



Time to proclaim GW36 winners. Very low scoring, expected much more across the board.

GW 36 winners
1. 100$ - Renato297 - 61 points
2. 50$ - Last chance sallon - Harkorede - 54 points
3. 30$ - Hecztic - Wunna2k - 53 points
4. 20$ - Woodie - 51 points (on highest point tiebreaker against Ulven, Mitchell to the rescue)

Not the best gameweek but could have been much worse as well.
Top in the event standings with a little breathing room, that is the main goal anyway.

Arsenal will have like 70%+ chance for a CS, way higher than anybody else. Considering that we'll be captaining GK's, a CS is worth 20+ points.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I will just go safe. My position in the league demands it - if my GK (Pickford, obviously) concedes, I'll potentially lose 15+ points against anybody else.

That just makes me move from Saka to Ndiaye - which doesn't look terrible as well.

Nice analysis, will use this information to my advantage  

Btw, I don't think it's in Burnley to do some damage at this stage of league, and with City getting in on the positive goal difference, this could be that game Arsenal would want to score for fun just to have more goals on their side than Citeh should the title be decided by goals.. CS on the cards ✅✅ and maybe a hattrick from Victor ✅

Race to 20+ GK points is on...

Raya will definitely be the consensus pick for sure but you know how football goes nothing is guaranteed at all and we gotta take some risks, Burnley could very well score a goal in the first half for all we know cause they have been scoring now but I guess we'll see if that happens.

Sometimes it's better to take a risk with as unpopular pick then to play it safe. Just look how paco92x won 68 points by going with Calvert-Lewin and even captaining him. I'm not saying that a goalie can do it (he would need a CS and 36 saves to get 68 points), but sometimes it's better to take some risk.

Oh yeah and I plan to why not I have nothing to lose really and truly so why not take a chance, I did it before and won a game week so I'll definitely try it again if it works of course that would be amazing if not it won't be too bad but we all know how football is sometimes what we expect just doesn't happen.

I guess I was probably looking at it the wrong way before, I didn't even consider how difficult it would be for GK's facing even Arsenal or Man City to make 6 saves, but that would have been 8 points, only 2 less than what a cleansheet from Raya if he does have it, I'll just have to circle back If I can get another GK with 3 potential saves and a 30% chance of clean sheet, then I might take a risk if not, I'll definitely be going template and try to make sense of it in other areas.

The play here is to take Burnley keeper. Everyone expects Arsenal to destroy them, in other words perfect game for a 0:0 match. If that happens Burnley GK is guaranteed at least 6 saves and clean sheet and max bonus points 

Could be my play here, nothing much to loose at this point and a lot to gain if it works out.

[Renato297]

Thanks for the prize! I think it's the second time I've won, t's already in my account. Even though Haaland was benched in 2nd game  of dgw I finished in first place. I hope to complete the bonus requirement.

I guess I already have a clear idea on what not to do  

Thanks, I also got the prize already and I'm already putting it to good use *stares at Medvedev in Rome Open*

[Slissy]

Congratulations to all winners! New round starts tomorrow. Round 37 won't really be that exciting when it comes to choosing a goalkeeper because I think most people will choose the same one... but we who have to chase points have a chance to choose differently😁 I'll definitely wait until the lineup is out before making my final choices 

[Jinetics1111]

I think I'm gonna take a different route for GK and go with someone else risky but I have a hunch that it could be good, I mean why not theres only a few games that might be low scoring affairs this week and I think I found one of them. Well the games start today so we'll see who has what and by weekend we shall really see or Sunday for that matter since FA cup is on Saturday.

[slackovic]

The problem with taking a risk here is if I fail and everyone else around me decides to play it safe with a GK, I'll lose a lot of points while everyone else will win big time. Also, everyone is talking about GKs, but no one mentions other players. In this challenge where a lot of users will pick the same GK, actually the other players could make a difference.

The other players will make a difference for sure but in the quest to be perfect sometimes failure occurs ask Tom Brady, different sport yeah but his team went undefeated the whole season up till the finals(aka Super Bowl) and they lost so with that said anything can happen, Arsenal can mess up and let a squeaker go by and ruin everyone else in the mean time.

Oh man... Your post saved me. I was sure that I have chose the team, but I guess I didn't click on the Save button. I nearly had a heart attack when I opened the FPL website and saw that there are no players selected.

No worries bro everything happens for a reason glad that I could help you out with the post, it happens to me sometimes with the "team can't be saved" with the reload hyperlink and I'll comeback and see all my old picks before the adjustments I made but good luck bro.
