I know EFL Cup isn't a competition to be used as the litmus test for upcoming games because team isn't at full capacity, but comeon a team that looked like the hot favourites for upcoming gameweek already down to Bournemouth 👀 and knowing winning is a psychological thing ,this can affect their confidence if they dont win this game and hope the gaffer knows it to. Bring on the big guns, we want the Chelsea reject to show the world how it's done 🤞

Man, your post scared the shit out of me. Reading it I somehow thought that the FPL challenge is for the cup games too and I missed submitting my team. Thankfully, I misunderstood it and there is still time until October 31st to submit.

Good prediction on Bournemouth yesterday! It was a clash of two sides that are on the rise in terms of form. Both of them started the game with a respectable lineup, sparing only a few players, and it was a good match with a lot of created chances. Still, there could be only one winner, and with 5 victories in a row, I will surely be considering Bournemouth players for Challenge and Fantasy.

Igebots, I see that you still didn't submit your players for the GW9. As we agreed, I'm tagging you as a reminder to submit your players so you get the chance to win back that 1 mBTC that I won in our GW 8 sidebet. With this week challenge, I guess the results will not be available immediately because someone has to count all the successful dribbles and tackles for each player.

This week's challenge is dubbed Trick or Treat

This should be one of the rounds with the most variations, there no specific template to follow and the biggest guns all over tougher match ups to worry about, I've roughly just made my first drafted and it's looking completely horrible to play with. If I don't forget to check the lineups and act accordingly I doubt 2 of the 6 picks would still be my choices for the event.

I'm curious how you can tell if someone hasn't submitted - I really don't know too much about FPL challenge but it operates like the superbru to some extent ( locking opponents lineup before kickoff) - is there a spreadsheet or something that shows when someone submit their picks or something 

I'll do it before bedtime and fix my FPL team before deadline.

No, there is no spreadsheet or anything like that. I just open the league table and there I can see. The teams that submitted their players have a small arrow ro the right which means you can click on it and see the team formation, while player names are hidden. They are revealed at the kickoff.

Hmm. Made a wrong transfer out just now heh. Wanted to sell.calafiori to bring in bournemouth defender but somehow managed to sell Hall instead.  Whom I just brought in last gw. This is how I kill.my own game! No worries Cal can sit on the bench pending a Liverpool grab.

Pedro had to go too... Everton attack in now. Let's see how the dice throw up.

Wrong thread?

For this one, just change again

[buwaytress]

Eh heh heh yeah, wrong thread. Should have captained Palmer, 11 points the idiot, forgot that he sometimes dribbles. Not even sure why I picked what I did with others. But this Challenge disappeared from under me long, long ago.

[slackovic]

Igebotz, this time you contained the same player I did - Doku. And he really brought us a lot of points. 62 points is really great! Too bad that Belloumi got me only 11 points as Palmer got you. I'm in a slight minus because of the goalie, but I hope that the remaining three players will bring me victory once again!

EDIT: Oh, come on... We have all three same midfielders! How can I beat you if you just copy my players?

Yeah Trofo taught you very much on how to copy my team - you're a fast learner. 

Initial had Bellounmi but switched to Palmer since I wanted a G/A advantage but bro disappeared In the first half and didn't go past more than 2 players today.

I also had the captain on Kudus until I saw the City leak cause I wasn't sure about Doku starting..

If I wasn't the one who reminded you to submit your players, I might even believe you. I mean really... Four of our players played their games and you lead me because you went with Petrović, while I went with Trafford. Of course that my guy conceded two goals. Now my all hopes lay in the hands of a defender and a striker. Hopefully we didn't went with the same guys.

I was hoping you'd review the last two players unknowingly.....

I won't be surprised if the last two are the same players or from the same team since you did 99% Ctrl + C & Ctrl +V

FPL managers were not playing around in this gameweek or is it event, me thinking I would probably leap frog most knowing very well Citeh players would be the banker assets and having a sixth sense that they would blank after losing against the same team few days ago.. but those scores of 100points + can not go unnoticed  well played to all manager's.

You also have Jackson as the striker? Do you have some kind of special powers to see my players before the kickoff? Or maybe you just scouted my previous lineups and figured out who I will go with. Now my only hope is that my defender get four more points than yours. Otherwise, you will win because your fucking goalie got four more points than mine... Man, what a round!

Yeah, so much for me thinking there won't much template picks in this round, but to my surprise it's no different from the other rounds, and my 118 points would literally go to waste simply because I didn't have Mohammed Kudus. I didn't change much from my initial draft Palmer, Doku and Belloumi were there, and I from Tottenham I only had Pedro Porro, whom I then had to change to Tyrick Mitchell when Porro didn't start, there was no way I could bring on Kudus again, having used all 3 midfield options.

The points would have been more helpful if this wasn't the last week from the current event as well.

Funny, Trofo and others have a similar template to ours - it was a more filtered round because we no longer have many dribblers in the league, only a few, and anybody who watches the league is familiar with this tiny circle of dribblers.

I brought in Barry to my FPL team and Jackson to the FPL challenge to ensure I covered all bases and benefited from both sides.
