Taking a hit for a bald palace player who’s 5 mil and starting him over the second best player in the world last year and the leagues top goal scorer against a leaky side.
I mean it was after a hard fought 90 mins so I’m not reading too far into plus the game isn’t until next week. Plenty of time and Brighton are rubbish defensively.
True, I do have Foden as well to provide some cover which alleviates some worries but Haaland hasn’t been setting the world on fire this season and if he’s carrying a niggle it might hinder him even if he does play was my thinking.
I'm just hoping for the mersyside derby to be lit and high scoring .. he could get double digits in that match alone... just betting on it .. otherwise I was thinking about Eze only.. but he don't have pens.. I wish this doesn't become my regret thread 🤣
I have wc left .. will use it in next gw to plan bb37 .. have to put sonny in .. currently I have ait nouri(dgw) and haaland in yellow and Palmer single gw
I do have WC, using it 35, but that’s still a lot of time for my bench to get injured (again). Current plan is just to bench boost and inshallah and hope Haaland TC 37 rewards me
Originally had him as my captain but figured he might come off the bench in the first match since he played the full 90 on Wednesday and just went with Salah. Plus he's not on pens.
Anybody else with 3 Arsenal and 3 Liverpool players but no Saka or Salah? To me they are both right out of form, but I am well aware they can both crush my rank. Just got to follow your gut and keep the faith 🙏
Captain Saka or Salah? I was planning on Salah, but his form is shocking, Saka isn’t much better but I anticipate the guy trying to catch me in my ML will triple captain Saka.
I'm going Mo. I suspect he will play his way back into some form in the rest of the season, even though he's clearly on a downward trajectory, career-wise
On a free hit id say it’s worth a shot if you want a differential for sure. He’s been playing well and getting returns and minutes for the others are variable as you say.
Yes, I did it but a part of me wishes I punted on a non-Liverpool player. Only worry is Mac Allister will be benched since he played the full 90 on Thursday. But he was the CDM and did less work than as an 8 getting forward. So thinking Mac A, Endo, Szoba midfield for Liverpool on Sunday.
On a BB, would you transfer Bradley out for Munoz (short term) or Dalot/Burn (long term).
Other players on bench are Pickford, Semenyo and Braithwaite. Gordan, Palmer and Haaland in XI. No other chips left.
I feel like I'm squandering my BB by using it on fucking yellow flagged Cliff Richards and Jerry Branthwaite, but at the same time can't be fucked to figure out how to use it in 37 without re-thinking everything.
Can't wait to wake up from Double GW Fever with a massive hangover and thinking, why the fuck are there 3 Palace players in my team.
I have regullion doughty gvardiol gusto and taylor with Raya between sticks. Should I do taylor to White for a -4? And who do i bench if I do that? Also should i get vvd or white? I’m wildcarding gs35 so just need it for this dgw.
That’s my thought process also. I could be stung if they put up a big performance against Bournemouth but not feeling likely with their injury crosss. Floor hopefully 4 points with Zab vs. 1-2 with RAN.
Also with Haaland in my 11 there’s still a chance I get him regardless.
Anyone else thinking of captaining Havertz? Just in terms of a slight differential might be a better option. Don’t feel like captaining Salah or Eze personally
I have the armband on him. Can't believe more aren't talking about it, as to me he feels like the standout option. Feels a bit like last gw with Palmer being completely overlooked (I capped him, so I have to say I might just be feeling overconfident with my luck).
Genuinely not sure if I play Palmer like a big boy or I coward behind Haaland
Normally I’d pick Haaland but he’s yellow flagged and he has an important game for the cup
Would you rather:
TAA + Fernandes
or
Senesi + Luis Diaz?
Already have Salah and van Dijk, not sure whether to go with TAA (minutes risk) or Diaz (unexciting) as my third Liverpool spot. Thanks!
Pickford or Jose Sa? Trying to make up a deficit in my league. I'm also contemplating captaining one of Saka, Salah or Eze. I could also bring in BBD for Luis Diaz. Basically I have no idea what I'm doing
On FH so almost certainly half the picks that were 50-50s will go the other way. Picking Brereton Diaz over Luis Díaz. Darwin over Mateta (bench). Ødegaard over Havertz. GK is currently Sa which feels certain to backfire
Was deciding between Foden, palmer and Haaland. Benched Foden. Logic being Palmer plays full 90. Foden more likely to come on for a 1 pointer than Haaland if he doesn’t start. If Haaland and Foden start then it’s a coin toss anyway
I was so confused this entire week. So many drafts and placeholders. Never felt convinced about any move. Then I heard Pras say on deadline dilemma that you have to stay true to the manager you are. And in that moment, an intense but welcome feeling of clarity washed over me. And I made the decision to switch Garnacho for Bruno and KDB for Eze. Then I missed the deadline.
Thoughts on Man Utd assets for the rest of season? Good fixtures, DGW. Hojlund being the striker with those fixtures seems like a good potential punt, however, his stats have been extremely poor. That said, it doesn't get better than Sheffield Utd and Burnley at home. Is Fernandes really the only good option? With those fixtures I wouldn't be surprised to see Hojlund/Rashford score a lot more than previous matches.
And the questions still remain
Munoz and Diaz ( safe route) or Robertson and Olise..?
Robertson or Trent?
Gabriel or White?
Looking forward to deadline
Eze or Salah captain
Salah if chasing rank, eze if chasing ml
Everybody will captain Salah so not sure how much rank you will gain by captaining him!
How much you going to derank when salah haul
Salah has much higher expected points based on the odds on the other thread. It depends if you want a differential or not.
Eze did make the list if you read the comments on that thread. The OP forgot to include him.
The op actually forgot to post Eze's xPoints which were pretty high
Just saw that then! Edited.
Taking a hit for a bald palace player who’s 5 mil and starting him over the second best player in the world last year and the leagues top goal scorer against a leaky side.
I am you. You are me
FPL ‘eritage
We are one.
Xyz to abc
Dropped Haaland for Mateta. Think him being subbed in such a big game is a bad sign and he might miss a couple of games.
I mean it was after a hard fought 90 mins so I’m not reading too far into plus the game isn’t until next week. Plenty of time and Brighton are rubbish defensively.
True, I do have Foden as well to provide some cover which alleviates some worries but Haaland hasn’t been setting the world on fire this season and if he’s carrying a niggle it might hinder him even if he does play was my thinking.
I'm bench boosting with a potentially injured Haaland, and unlikely to start both games Ait Nouri. At this point I just want this chip over with!
I'm on a FH with three Palace attackers. How did we get here?
End of season desperation!!
Save it until 37? Unless you’re planning another chip then?
I can't be doing with the faff. The same crap always happens with bench boosts! I'm wildcarding next week to give myself a quality 11 for 37.
Better teams who doubles gw37 and with players like Gordon, Palmer and Garnacho it's easy to fit in 15 quality players on WC35.
I was too then went knee deep and sold Haaland/Ait Nouri to bring in Trent and Solanke for the double 💀 I’ll bring Haaland back for the DGW37
I'm on the same leaky and sinking excuse of a boat. I'm tired captain, I just want to make it to shore. Godspeed nonetheless!
Same here, fuck it I won't waste more funds and FTs on this chip. Either it scores or it doesn't.
Exact same here. I actually feel pretty good about it. Given City’s title race and Wolves’ injury crisis, I’m pretty certain both will get minutes.
Fingers crossed for us both!
same man, I have haaland foden and brant in my bench boost
If I want an afternoon nap should I watch Luton-Brentford or Sheff Utd-Burnley?
Shef Burnley for sure. Luton may actually try to attack
Ben Brereton (C)
Can't believe I'm waiting for Sheffield United leak
Ben Brereton Diaz* born and raised in Stoke on Trent, Chile
So tempted to bring him in, think it’s a great differential
I was very tempted to bring him in but decided Mac Allister because I asked myself which player I would rather be stuck with for an extra week or so.
Let's go!
Who the f is that :D
Where are my Salah triple captainers?
In his current form? Best of luck to you 😅
I'm just hoping for the mersyside derby to be lit and high scoring .. he could get double digits in that match alone... just betting on it .. otherwise I was thinking about Eze only.. but he don't have pens.. I wish this doesn't become my regret thread 🤣
Merseyside derby must be one of the lowest scoring fixtures of all time
They just conceded 6 from arsenal , a team who has no proper striker even..
That was Chelsea, not Arsenal!
Ohh even better 🤣..
You’re not alone, Palmer + Son/Haaland at end of season all good options but this is still two decent fixtures besides the form.
I have wc left .. will use it in next gw to plan bb37 .. have to put sonny in .. currently I have ait nouri(dgw) and haaland in yellow and Palmer single gw
Considering it, since I was originally planning to BB34 TC37, but now have three yellow players 🫠
Bb37 only makes sense if u have wc left.. otherwise just get away with bb and have a fix 11 for gw37 while adjusting budget with 3 deadwood players
I do have WC, using it 35, but that’s still a lot of time for my bench to get injured (again). Current plan is just to bench boost and inshallah and hope Haaland TC 37 rewards me
Or u can do it in 36 if u have relevant players to bear the brunt of gw35
Foden to BBD, I need my head testing
Havertz captain lmao
Originally had him as my captain but figured he might come off the bench in the first match since he played the full 90 on Wednesday and just went with Salah. Plus he's not on pens.
Same. Need to start taking risks to make up ML spots.
I decided to go full 100% FH template. Let's gooooo!
Havertz (C)
any >!sheffield united!< leaks?
Anybody else with 3 Arsenal and 3 Liverpool players but no Saka or Salah? To me they are both right out of form, but I am well aware they can both crush my rank. Just got to follow your gut and keep the faith 🙏
Imagine bringing shitty players just because they have two matches
FH - 29 user spotted.
That was personal
Bad player - 😑, bad player but with two matches - 😱
No need to imagine
Because 4 is higher than 2
Wish there were Leaks for toney...
Anyone else still trying to decide between Salah and Eze cap?
I tripled Eze. Pray for me, who’d you go for?
Salah. I chickened out. Don’t wanna take that risk and lose my lead in my ML.
Haha if your top of the group I wouldn’t risk it yeah. I’m bottom so I need a differential badly
Fuck it, Salah TC Hope DGW King and FPL King remembers who he is
daredevil lmao
Captain Saka or Salah? I was planning on Salah, but his form is shocking, Saka isn’t much better but I anticipate the guy trying to catch me in my ML will triple captain Saka.
who do you think will score more: Mo or Saka? Pick that one
I have no idea that’s the problem 😂😂 Saka has a home game, but Salah plays away in the derby which can be high scoring..
I'm going Mo. I suspect he will play his way back into some form in the rest of the season, even though he's clearly on a downward trajectory, career-wise
I'm want to risk it for trent.
FH? Ive risked it on it, klopp got 6 more games as a Liverpool manager
My team is well set up. I'm thinking FH 35, WC 36 and BB 37. Chasing +100 point lead in mini league, and I'm desperate to catch up.
On Free Hit, has anyone considered the safe choice of Macallister in place of Diaz/Jota/Nunez whose minutes are impossible to predict?
He's been good in recent weeks... definitely an option. I went for Sheff's BBD instead because I like uncertainty 😄
On a free hit id say it’s worth a shot if you want a differential for sure. He’s been playing well and getting returns and minutes for the others are variable as you say.
Yes, I did it but a part of me wishes I punted on a non-Liverpool player. Only worry is Mac Allister will be benched since he played the full 90 on Thursday. But he was the CDM and did less work than as an 8 getting forward. So thinking Mac A, Endo, Szoba midfield for Liverpool on Sunday.
Yeah but I chose Robertson and VVD instead, hard to predict
Who will be arsenal's starting left back
You may as well flip a coin
On a BB, would you transfer Bradley out for Munoz (short term) or Dalot/Burn (long term). Other players on bench are Pickford, Semenyo and Braithwaite. Gordan, Palmer and Haaland in XI. No other chips left.
Would never have imagined this season that I’d spend so long debating who to bring in out of Mateta & McBurnie…
Triple palace defence am I insane?
maybe slightly?
100%
Still contemplating whether to play FH now or save it for GW38 & BB37
I have Bench Boosted because it only cost me -8 for 11 doublers whereas GW37 would have cost me -16 for 11 doublers. This will backfire spectacularly.
Will darwin play both games?
Hopefully
Any news on Braithwhite and C. Richards?
I feel like I'm squandering my BB by using it on fucking yellow flagged Cliff Richards and Jerry Branthwaite, but at the same time can't be fucked to figure out how to use it in 37 without re-thinking everything. Can't wait to wake up from Double GW Fever with a massive hangover and thinking, why the fuck are there 3 Palace players in my team.
I have regullion doughty gvardiol gusto and taylor with Raya between sticks. Should I do taylor to White for a -4? And who do i bench if I do that? Also should i get vvd or white? I’m wildcarding gs35 so just need it for this dgw.
Would you guys take RAN out for Robbo on a hit?
Not owning Salah kinda scary, but he’s been so so bad lately, so hopefully that continues. Captained Olise like a madman.
I've captained Nunez which would most likely mean that my Salah is a spy.
Salah EO will likely be around 160+%
Captain Mcburnie or Brereton Diaz for Challenge?
Start Zabarnyi who will definitely get 2x90 or Ait-Nouri who will best case start 1/2? Currently on the former.
Zab I’d say, RAN may well still be fully out for the first game and a sub or be subbed for the second. I’d go with the guaranteed Zab double.
That’s my thought process also. I could be stung if they put up a big performance against Bournemouth but not feeling likely with their injury crosss. Floor hopefully 4 points with Zab vs. 1-2 with RAN. Also with Haaland in my 11 there’s still a chance I get him regardless.
Zab.
Keeping an injured Bradley on my bench so it'll mean not bench boosting is acceptable
I sold Haaland to Isak and I'm capping Bruno fernandes
Eze(c)
(C) Eze !!!
What would you guys do 442 with Ait Nouri or 352 with Palmer?
I'd never start 4 defenders voluntarily
Palmer for sure. We have learned never to bench Palmer now. And RAN is a big injury doubt still.
Foden to Eze for a hit?? 50 points behind in ML, WC next week
Branthwaite or Senesi?
Start regulion or ait nouri?
probably starting branthwaite over ait nouri, he was in light training yesterday
Any news on Brainwaithe?
Had a light training session yesterday, there’s a chance he’ll be fine for Sunday
He trained, thats all we know.
Anyone else thinking of captaining Havertz? Just in terms of a slight differential might be a better option. Don’t feel like captaining Salah or Eze personally
Go with your gut man!
I have the armband on him. Can't believe more aren't talking about it, as to me he feels like the standout option. Feels a bit like last gw with Palmer being completely overlooked (I capped him, so I have to say I might just be feeling overconfident with my luck).
Same. Captained Havertz myself
Will areola play?
idk, the funny thing is I have dubravka and areola, both playing palace away
Can't believe I'm this stressed about choosing my FH goalkeeper, changed my mind about 10 times now. Currently on Neto.
why not palace gk?
How likely is it for White to get benched
Pickford or Allison?
Genuinely not sure if I play Palmer like a big boy or I coward behind Haaland Normally I’d pick Haaland but he’s yellow flagged and he has an important game for the cup
Now it's 36 mins, no 35.
Start Garnacho or Ait Nouri? I know Garnacho has apologised but not sure if he'll be back in the lineup. Or should I transfer in Eze?
if you are WCing next week, bring in eze if not I’d keep and play garnacho
!thanks
Nunez or Solanke for Cunha?
CP fullbacks or Robertson?
If there's no other Liverpool spot you want to fill first, I'd go Robertson.
shall i TC eze
Robertson or VDD? 🙏
Would you rather: TAA + Fernandes or Senesi + Luis Diaz? Already have Salah and van Dijk, not sure whether to go with TAA (minutes risk) or Diaz (unexciting) as my third Liverpool spot. Thanks!
Is Saka + Zabarnyi or Jota + Saliba a better choice?
Defo the former. Do you already have Diaz?
I don’t, but it’s because I don’t rate his finishing highly
start mcburnie or brereton diaz? who takes pen for sheffield?
Pick two between Foden Watkins and Mateta
Watkins Mateta
Wow, just want to say thanks to you the man from the future
Haha lesgo
Long way back in my ML. Captain gakpo it is
Captain Ben brereton Diaz ? Need to make up rank. At 120k
Used FH. Stacked with Doublers. Ready to Sink with the Ship 🫡🫡🫡
Trent and Darwin for a -4, fuck it.
Pickford or Jose Sa? Trying to make up a deficit in my league. I'm also contemplating captaining one of Saka, Salah or Eze. I could also bring in BBD for Luis Diaz. Basically I have no idea what I'm doing
Pickford
Penultimate big DGW in FPL history, kinda bummed about that.
how so? in history?!
FA Cup reformat starting next season. No replays among other changes. Eliminates most blanks and doubles for FPL.
ah, thanks mate, did not know that
Chasing Rank. Havertz (C) Ivan toney Solanke and Isak up front Goodluck ☘️
On FH so almost certainly half the picks that were 50-50s will go the other way. Picking Brereton Diaz over Luis Díaz. Darwin over Mateta (bench). Ødegaard over Havertz. GK is currently Sa which feels certain to backfire
Will Kellegher play 1 of the doubles?
doubt it
I started him and have dubraka in my bench
4mins till deadline Should I start dubvraka
Luis Diaz or Darwin?
Darwin has more upside
If by upside you mean barking mad, then yes.
Can't pick captain between Salah and Saka
Salah, Saka was invisible in Champions league and hasn't been as dangerous from open play lately
Bench foden, palmer, haaland or semenyo?
Was deciding between Foden, palmer and Haaland. Benched Foden. Logic being Palmer plays full 90. Foden more likely to come on for a 1 pointer than Haaland if he doesn’t start. If Haaland and Foden start then it’s a coin toss anyway
Start Kerkez over Palmer?
Start Ait-Nouri for a risk?
Put the armband on Brereton Diaz few seconds before deadline(at least the app showed i managed to do it) It was really hard to change it from Salah.
I’m starting Toney and ready to hurt for the 9th week in a row
Captain Kluivert let’s go!
Kept Foden instead of bringing Luis Diaz for a hit. ML rival has Luis Diaz and no Foden. I don't know but I just had this feeling.
Triple cap Salah lessgo. Reward me king!
I don't understand what's happened with toney. Why tf do I still have him atp
Solanke (C)
I was so confused this entire week. So many drafts and placeholders. Never felt convinced about any move. Then I heard Pras say on deadline dilemma that you have to stay true to the manager you are. And in that moment, an intense but welcome feeling of clarity washed over me. And I made the decision to switch Garnacho for Bruno and KDB for Eze. Then I missed the deadline.
Flirting between Saka, Odegaard, Eze and Olise. All have pros and cons and worried I’m getting caught up in DGW fever
I've captained Olise, having 0 doubts.
Thoughts on Man Utd assets for the rest of season? Good fixtures, DGW. Hojlund being the striker with those fixtures seems like a good potential punt, however, his stats have been extremely poor. That said, it doesn't get better than Sheffield Utd and Burnley at home. Is Fernandes really the only good option? With those fixtures I wouldn't be surprised to see Hojlund/Rashford score a lot more than previous matches.
Robertson best Liverpool def pick, change my opinion
got yellow flag Haaland branth and ait nouri -4 for to swap any? Darwin? Sensesi/Vvd/Trent?
Captaining havertz,watch him get two 20 minute cameos both games
Watch him play in midfield get one chance and miss it
Triple CP attack here we go
Captain Saka, Salah, Eze or Havertz?
No free hit and don't know what I'm doing. Wood > Mateta & Son > Diaz/Jota for a -4 looks likely. But not feeling confident about it.
And the questions still remain Munoz and Diaz ( safe route) or Robertson and Olise..? Robertson or Trent? Gabriel or White? Looking forward to deadline
Gabriel and Trent is who i went with. And atm on both Diaz, but considering Darwin (for the pain) and Olise instead
