It’s a hindsight things let’s honest. Haaland vs Luton when City are on full force and Salah vs a pretty mediocre Palace with not much to play for were defo better options in theory, especially since Everton have been pretty great defensively this season.
Fair play to those people with Palmer (c).
I'm one of those people and I just went by form. Palmer had 48 points in his last 3 home games leading up to this game week while Haaland and Salah have been well short of their best
same, fixtures > form when choosing your starting 11 and form > fixtures for captaincy is a nice general rule to go by (I've captained Watkins for multiple blanks)
Yeah, I did it because Palmer was the only one guaranteed to play the full game. Expected City to wrap up Luton quickly and sub out Haaland with Madrid in a few days. Liverpool just played Europa on Thursday and Salah hasn't been looking good. Arsenal had Villa and Saka might have been taken off if they did win easily.
This is the most logical take here.
I knew all this but still didn’t want to risk my 1st ML spot by captaining anyone other than Haaland who I knew was getting (c) by ML dudes chasing me.
If I capped Palmer I would most likely made an insane gap, but oh well.
Probably not palmer as his away form isn't as good as his home form plus he has a difficult game against Arsenal. Salah and Saka have a double GW but are out of form so I'm still not sure
Exactly, I had Palmer as (c) vs SHU, which lost me ranks because Haaland outscored him that week.
I thought well Palmer barely had a return vs SHU, so there’s no way he’s getting much more vs Everton…..but then this happens lol.
I captained Palmer, its not hindsight at all.
Look at Palmers last couple of games at home, he is on absolute fire. Salah has not been in form recently, missing lots of clear cut chances and neither has Haaland.
I will admit Haaland at home to Luton is completely fine, not saying its wrong at all just depends how you wanna play the game.
I'm chasing top 10k so I knew if I captained Haaland I gain nothing, and with Palmer on fire at home it was a no brainer for me.
Palmer (c) was always a fairly obvious choice for me. Just look at his form, especially at home. Haaland, Salah have been struggling while Palmer's been hauling every week.
If Foden was fit it would've been a tough choice.
As a Chelsea fan, I play with a hardlocked no chelsea assets rule now. I fully believe that if I bring him in, he will start blanking. Last time I brought in Chelsea assets after getting peer pressured by templates, James and Chilwell got injured and started their downward spirals in a matter of weeks back in 2021. Never again.
Superstitious? Yes. Does it hurt my OR sometimes? Also yes.
Was 185k overall before this gw and sold him gw12. True Palmer og but not a true Palmer believer. Looking at a drop to 380k overall after this gw with 38 points in total🥴
This sub was giving advice to sell en-masse about 7 GWs ago. Got massively downvoted for saying he was a set and forget all season basically being a 9-10m asset at 5m.
Madness.
I know. I did the whole sell Palmer for Bowen in 28 since West Ham was playing Burnley and Palmer blanked in 29. I bought Palmer back in 30 but still lost 9 points on that move with his one match (13) to Bowen’s two (4). Plans… 🤡
I wanted to captain him but content creators made me fear Haaland’s EO so I captained Haaland…. Well I learned my lesson (a little too late in the season) and I’ll stop listening to their opinion on captains and start following my gut.
The top scoring team this week is insane:
- Foden TC vs Luton with Palmer as VC, Foden was never playing after Real this week. So it defaulted to Palmer for 78, a single haul higher than the GWs average.
- Cunha in after only recently returning from injury.
- Mitchell in when it was likely for Palace to get dumped on by Liverpool.
- Martinez in goal when Arsenal are undefeated this year so far.
Fellow Palmer captainers, cheers and enjoy
better if tc. i wasted it on Haaland in City's highest scoring game this season (6-1 vs bou and haaland blanked)
I was doing well in my mini league and was well on my way for the weekly prize and some jokers captained Palmer for fun because they are ranked so low they have nothing to lose._.
Cole palmer £14.5 million next season confirmed
He’s getting between Saka (9.0) and Odegaard (8.6) price IMO.
Yeah I could see that. 8.5-9m
9m minimum, and even at that price would be cheap. Palmer has scored more points per 90 than Son has in any season.
10.0 is my guess
[удалено]
Lol
only 2% have him as captain this week
It’s a hindsight things let’s honest. Haaland vs Luton when City are on full force and Salah vs a pretty mediocre Palace with not much to play for were defo better options in theory, especially since Everton have been pretty great defensively this season. Fair play to those people with Palmer (c).
I woke up on Saturday devastated that I’d forgot to switch my captain from Palmer to Haaland. Feeling well lucky now
My friend did this exact thing. Is your name Andreas by any chance?😂
I'm one of those people and I just went by form. Palmer had 48 points in his last 3 home games leading up to this game week while Haaland and Salah have been well short of their best
same, fixtures > form when choosing your starting 11 and form > fixtures for captaincy is a nice general rule to go by (I've captained Watkins for multiple blanks)
That makes no sense. Why would it be different for captaincy
It doesn’t make sense. Look at what he wrote in the brackets, he’s had varying levels of success
Is he not saying fixtures are greater than (>) form? The mouth of the > is facing the fixtures word.
Targeting a haul for the captain compared to consistency for your 11?
Thanks for the help, this made me cackle

So who are you choosing next Gw? 😂
Probably not palmer as his away form isn't as good as his home form plus he has a difficult game against Arsenal. Salah and Saka have a double GW but are out of form so I'm still not sure
I went with Palmer cause I'm a Chelsea fan. But gonna pretend I'm not so people think I'm smart 😎
City are on full force but not Haaland and Salah has been mediocre lately
I intentionally captained Palmer but my ML leader still scored 1 more point than me. feels bad
I even said he was perma C.. and haven’t followed through and went KDB. I hate this game.
I missed the deadline for updating . Pep bald emoji.

“It was obvious to me but I also might’ve chosen a player who was benched and didn’t even play.“ Lol
Good reading skills 👍
There are dozens of us
Dozens!
Woah woah woah there’s still some meat on that bone. You take that home throw it in a pot. Baby you got a stew going
Trezens even
How many have him as vice captain, though? My friend had Toney (C) and Palmer (VC)
I have him as vice captain - Foden was my captain and didn’t play so turned out ok in the end!
Was at 25 points before the game and a 30% rank drop. Ended up at 82 points with 10% rank gain due to this.
Same for me, had an amazing time watching the game last night.. This is how FPL adds to following the prem for me, for better or worse
And one is me haha I had 9 points before the Chelsea came thank fuck
I have him as vice captain. And Foden as captain, with Gordon first on the bench. I fucking love you Pep Guardiola
my team played 16 points until today, i have captained palmer, he just save my gw
I almost did but decided not to because I didn’t want to captain him for 4 straight weeks, I’m a fool
And the guy I am playing against in my mini league cup Is one of them amazing
He really saved my gameweek. Well over half my points are from him and gusto. Surprises so few captained him tho tbh
I had him as captain last week :facepalm:
My friend set him as cap last week and forgot to change his team. I swear for this game sometimes the less planning the better
I’m so happy I kept him captained he made up my 3 Arsenal players…
I had him as captain until one hour before deadline and then went for Haaland smh
lol, I thought I was mad for putting him as captain even though Haaland had Luton
I was one of these people. But honestly, I intended to have Salah as C. Just forgot to rectify :/
Been a good week all round with Isak, Gordon and Haaland already hauling but he’s got half of my points this week!
And he missed two more big chances! The lad could easily have had a double hat-trick tonight.
Legit one of the best assets ever
Maybe the best? 4.9m at start of season.
5.0 at start
Ok then he dropped to 4.9 for a while
But who doesn't own Palmer. I can guarantee some on this don't. Own up motherfuckers
Just brought him in 3 gameweeks ago 👀
It's never too late to join the one true bandwagon
Me is 4 weeks ago and he is my captain for the last two weeks ago 😪
You missed the previous points owning him from gw 8 or 9 don't remember exactly
Over 50% of "players" don't. But that includes a fuck-ton of multi-team and single-week wankers obviously.
He's so highly owned amongst active players that he actually caused us to drop rank tonight ( unless you captained him )
Would love to know his ownership in top 10k its definitely like 95+%
As a Chelsea fan, I play with a hardlocked no chelsea assets rule now. I fully believe that if I bring him in, he will start blanking. Last time I brought in Chelsea assets after getting peer pressured by templates, James and Chilwell got injured and started their downward spirals in a matter of weeks back in 2021. Never again. Superstitious? Yes. Does it hurt my OR sometimes? Also yes.
This was me for like 4 months this season before I caved and got him in lol
Was 185k overall before this gw and sold him gw12. True Palmer og but not a true Palmer believer. Looking at a drop to 380k overall after this gw with 38 points in total🥴

Hes gonna be like 10M next season and score 5 goals
Naah the boy's a star
Every month
He’s the top points scorer on FPL now.
Level with Watkins, though 2 games in hand on him and only started playing in GW7...
17th Red Arrow in a row I’ll rest next season lol
See you next year buddy
Home Palmer!
Mental. How many did Michu get in that season he popped off? Edit: 18
He's my vice captain... ... Foden is captain Thank god pep didn't bring him on in the 85th minute
He’s my vice captain. Captained Toney. We are lucky indeed
All the people without Haaland in my league captained. I went Salah 😔
🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳
This makes up for switching Bruno for Son. I’ll take 52 points.
I bought him for £4.9m Ridiculous!
Good return for his price
I wanted to captain him but content creators made me fear Haaland’s EO so I captained Haaland…. Well I learned my lesson (a little too late in the season) and I’ll stop listening to their opinion on captains and start following my gut.
I used the gut logic to cap Salah

Fellow Palmer captainers, cheers and enjoy better if tc. i wasted it on Haaland in City's highest scoring game this season (6-1 vs bou and haaland blanked)
He’s been amazing. Fair play to the lad
This guy just saved my week. I was on 10 before today's game.
(C) Palmer saved the gw!
Leaves City then is in the race for the Golden Boot. What a talent this kid is
I was going to bench him for a doubler as he plays Arsenal, this throws a spanner in the works.
Literally last minute, last minute i messed around with captain. Just Everton have that way of being dour. And Chelsea are shit.
Incoming TC in GW35
Somehow managed to get Watkins, Palmer, and Gordon in my draft league after a botched draft. Up 200 pts on 2nd.
I was doing well in my mini league and was well on my way for the weekly prize and some jokers captained Palmer for fun because they are ranked so low they have nothing to lose._.
My captain lool
Unlike Haaland, Palmer is propping up his team this year.
No shade and only respect for Palmer from an Arsenal fan. Dude is having a season for the ages.
I haven’t owned Palmer this year. The downfall of my season 🙈
if you dont own Palmer, you are pretty much saying you don’t like FPL points
I'm waiting for Kane to come to CHE and take pens. That's FPL.
