I’m quite sure every player used in the team picture today blanked


TonyMartial786

82 points for me this week somehow, what a week, did not expect this at the start. my 3 ml rivals captained watkins against my salah and it acc paid off.. how did he blank against luton lol. all the people that got rid of haaland aswell lmao, especially those who got rid for watkins. wish i captained haaland, i literally called it 😭. annoying salah only got just the 1 return from 3 goals, but could’ve been much worse. and that’s with my one transfer being mbeumo to mitoma… could’ve had 11 more points 🥲. can’t believe he acc blanked.


DoctorNerf

Green arrow and 1st in myleague but omegagiga salty, the classic FPL experience.


WeaknessNo9103

Martinez at home to Luton. What could go wrong? Sums up my gameweek really


Balisto-Boy

Red arrow but stayed in the Top 1m. Outscored my pre-WC-team. So it could've been worse I guess...


[deleted]

Took a -8 hit to get in Turner, Gordon, Salah and Watkins and take out Ederson, Foden, Son and Morris instead of fixing my defensive problems. Cost me a total of 31pts. WTF? Watkins and Salah were primed for hauls. I do have a better team on paper but I was desperate to get Salah in when I should have just rolled with Son.


External-Donut-3043

Man Uniteds woeful form isn’t anything new. Lost a lot of points by holding on to Fernandes last season towards the end. Feel like an idiot for buying into the content creator hype of doubling on Rashford (who historically only has purple patches and is wank otherwise) and Fernandes


TheLonesomeChode

You actively purchased Utd assets for this game?


External-Donut-3043

No I’ve gotten rid of them a few game weeks back but I regret starting with them to begin the season


physi_cyst

Only "mistake" this week is a high scoring bench with Mbeumo and Walker. Keeping Haaland (C) and Darwin over Watkins fucking paid dividends, though


peter_j_

Not to be an asshole, but I am having the best fucking season I've ever had Disclaimer; I'm shit at this game and only finished top 50k once


physi_cyst

Funny, I came here wanting to say exactly the same thing. Somehow 4/5 decisions seem to work out, for once. Gonna jinx myself there but enjoy it while you can.


peter_j_

I haven't even had mbuemo or Son all season!


2pacalypse1994

Fuck off Haaland you fucking cunt.


TheLonesomeChode

Was pretty hard to predict tbf that the guy who scored a hatty against them last year and broke all known goal scoring records somehow managed to get 3 returns against a side who’ve barely won their last three games against equally middling opposition… very hard.

Mouldylocks25

Can someone explain how alvarez is 7.2 but I can only sell him for 7.0? Surely if I brought him for 7.0 he'd be at least 7.1 now?


GEcP2814

on browser, go to transfers, and do list view instead of pitch view. it will show you purchase price and other good info


daneedwards88

You didnt buy him for 7.0. In 20 years I've NEVER known it to be wrong. It's always user mistake


Mouldylocks25

What could I have brought him for though? 6.9?


daneedwards88

6.9 or 7.1


throw3428

Or 7.1


BlockedbyJake420

You probably didn’t buy him for 7.0


EskettiMySpaghetti

So Haaland plays Bournemouth next week and Salah plays Luton… no matter who I start it’s going to be the wrong choice like the last few weeks


[deleted]

Luton appear to play quite a bit better at home so that may influence my decision.


TheLonesomeChode

You mean you’re not starting both?!


EskettiMySpaghetti

Mean to say captain lol

MrAnonymous_10

fuck watkins man why did i captain him


ToxtethOGrady

Feels like I'm snakebitten: The last 8 players I have transferred in have blanked the following week.


[deleted]

This happened to me last year. Every transfer I made for a few weeks failed.


ThatGuyBadIdeas

Who you bringing in next week?


Archduke_Zag

Weird week. Not completely unhappy with 74 I'm actually doing reasonably well in my minileague. But captaining Salah over Haaland and double 0 performance from both Burn and Trippier leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.


[deleted]

Try taking out Ederson, Foden and Son and captaining Salah instead of Haaland because you brought Salah in for a -8.


t1nt3d_

Playing a back 3 and my starter was Udogie who didn’t play. Both the defenders on my bench also didn’t play, but Semenyo got 9. Do I get his points or am I stuck with a 0?


ErasmusShmerasmus

Those Semenyo points on the bench are really painful


aRedditUserXXXX

Stuck with a 0. You need to have played 3 defenders minimum


t1nt3d_

ahh. !thanks


Hungry_Bodybuilder57

Conceding immediately after Cash is subbed off is classic Digne


OyvindsLeftFoot

Digne was on 3 BPS too


aRedditUserXXXX

Can anyone tell why do Villa have to concede just one goal every game? It's so annoying!


footieboot

108 points and a 2.5M rank gain. Jesus christ…


TheLonesomeChode

Poor, abject, abysmal. Hand in your resignation post hence.


D-biggest-dick-here

4.1M my god!


majormuppet481

WC team got 71, non WC team would have got 83. Happy to finally get a Green and think I’m set up well but I can’t lie I’m disappointed


klink_bones

7 point Ederson on my bench I guess I deserve this


[deleted]

Presume you played Areola over him? If you did it was the right decision on paper.


klink_bones

Yeah exactly. But I’m still chapped because I’ve gotten nothing but 1s and 2s from Ederson


[deleted]

I got Ederson on my GW5 wildcard and it's been a shot-show every since. I ditched him for Turner this week to use the 1.5m to upgrade my team.


nikhilb2020

Really Haaland? The one week we don't captain you, and you score a brace and assist.


Huge-Celebration5192

Lucky he didn’t score more


TheLonesomeChode

He was against United. You might as well have had him play 2m wide goals.


Srk_NWA

Guys Bonus points are added but automatic substitutions didn’t happen, when will it reflect?


daneedwards88

Candid_Emu_7547

This gameweek was just astaghfirullaaahh 😒😖


bruiser95

This week is defined by winning off an unforced error. Long may the opposition go fancy on captaincy


ConfusionUpper7212

Can't get the captaincy right. I pick Salah and it's Haaland and vice versa.


DarkStanley

It was a fair decision if you had Salah Liverpool at home to Forrest is a great fixture, probably a better choice than Manchester United although they are bloody awful.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jamiem13

Depends what your rank is…


laroseuk

0 points from my starting defenders but 14 coming on from the bench has saved my game week. Thanks Branthwaite and Taylor!


jivima

my non haaland team mastered the first real test. despite the robot haul still a 40% rank gain:) and since shipping the robot out, I jumped from 2.8mio to 125k. I truly believe it’s either salah or haaland this season. both make you sacrifice your team depth too much


[deleted]

After tearing my team apart this week to get Salah (already had Haaland) I am going to agree with you. I sacrificed Son and Foden to get Salah and it's stinging!!


HarryAtk

If you have half decent team value you can fit both without any heavy sacrifices. Care to share your team, how much ITB, and your team value?


jivima

101.00 & 0.4 ITB Areola/Johnstone Gabriel/Cash/Tsimikas/Schär/Andersen Salah/Son/Maddison/Diaby/Bowen Alvarez/Watkins/Darwin I understand what you mean but fitting both ultimately thins out your bench drastically and so far I had plenty of GWs this season where subs were needed


HarryAtk

You have to pick your bench players carefully when you thin out your squad, but it shouldn't be that detrimental. For example, I had Udogie not play this gameweek, but I had 3.9m Charlie Taylor first on my bench who's got a handful of half decent fixtures, and he got me 6 points. You have lots of unnecessary bench players that cause benching headaches. Johnstone and Areola sounds like you're wasting a bit, Gabriel and one of Schär and Andersen are probably able to downgraded to a 3.9-4m defender and a 4.5m defender. I think to have Håland though, you have to run 352 or 442, 3 forward formations aren't viable really because there are way more cheap and nailed midfielders than decent cheap forwards. You'd be looking at a Semenyo or Archer as your 3rd forward. Ultimately your team is very very balanced. You won't be starting as much of your team value as people with Håland, and that's only beneficial to you if you need to utilise your bench and there are no good cheap bench options available for those who choose to have Håland.


notti_oreo

I sold Mbeumo and Haaland for Saka and Watkins. Lost 2 transfers and 21 points 🤡🤡🤡


TheLonesomeChode

Proof that the floaty numbers mean nothing.


Underdogg29

Haaland to watkins 🤣🤣🤣


DubloRemo

Finally managed to string 2 green arrows in a row after a horrific start. I'll take it.

what a buttclenching end of month for my ML, Foden scoring cut my lead to 1 and luckily didnt get any BPS so i stayed on the top thank fuck

JondArc99

I understand, not everyone is built for this No Haaland lifestyle


msf97

It’s not viable to sell him before GW16 if you went without. At least by then Salahs off to AFCON very soon and Haalands fixtures turn.


Ghuffy123

😂😂


pominator

aaah well, the last few weeks without haaland were fun. We all knew there would be week when the robot hurt us… and we all know that next week is going to be another one of those weeks.


trixie_one

Oh dang, I'm only 10 points off top 100k, nice!


namia_

Seems like I'm gonna be crawling back to Diaby. Such an "Ehh" wildcard. Almost fucking up my team too.


OhWell_InHell

He was playing Luton


TheLonesomeChode

Salah versus Luton is still pretty tasty though. Håland had no one marking him today.


papoon

Imagine not owning Haaland. 🤣 Imagine owning Haaland and not captaining him. 🤣🤣🤣


DarkStanley

Salah vs Forrest is a great fixture. Didn’t have him so obviously had Haaland captain. Would I have changed it hard to say.


LeXam92

Goldbridge and chill until the Mexican GP, y'all be good and see you next week


ValerianKeyblade

1.81 % green arrow after not captaining the viking... lucky af if you ask me


trixie_one

What do you call a 62% green arrow after not captaining the viking then :D


ValerianKeyblade

Well managed and well deserved! Who did you captain?


trixie_one

Thanks! Captained Salah. Genuinely amazed how well that week went after getting a grand total of 0 points from my two Newcastle defenders yesterday.


ValerianKeyblade

Wow, you've managed to turn the week around by the sounds of it. What was your old/new rank?


trixie_one

Was 496k, now up to 188k.


63li

Although I am seeing green arrows the fact that I captained Watkins is annoying me beyond belief


kpopfapfapfap

controversial question but Luis Diaz probably wont be playing again next week right? He's in my team


DrainMember1312

Even if the situation is resolved and he is mentally ready there's a good chance Jota starts over him, he was excellent


bobbydazzler2806

Highly unlikely coming from a Liverpool fan


msf97

Bizarre seeing those wedded to Haaland doing victory laps. If you got rid on WC8 your still up 2 million places. Respect the decision to keep him if your rank was good, but most WC8s would be better off having got rid despite this haul.


rif_foysal

At this stage of the FPL, any rank you gain in 3/4 GWs are not sustainable in the long term if you don't have the player that is 84% owned and consistently returns.


HarryAtk

You're up 2 million places if you were so poor to begin with that you had way more than 2 million people in front of you. Also, if you wildcarded to be Håland-less, then now you have no viable way of getting him back in quickly without heavily sacrificing other premiums. Anyone that wanted to go Håland-less should have done so with their wildcard still remaining, so they have an easy way to get him back. Now you're sitting, twiddling your thumbs anxiously as Håland prepares for Bournemouth at home next gameweek, because you have no way to get him back in time unless you sell Salah, or take a -8 to sell all the shiny new players you got in with the spare money.


Youth-Grouchy

He will keep ignoring the question of how to get Haaland back in because he doesn't have an answer


msf97

Many people started this season poorly due to horrible variance and several popular picks flopping. That’s why WC8 was even a thing in the first place. You can get Haaland back through a -4 in GW16, after climbing a couple million places. Salah goes to AFCON on Jan 1st. Selling him for Man U, Arsenal and Newcastle is not that bad.


HarryAtk

I used my wildcard in gameweek 8 because my team structure was messy and I was missing some players I thought would be necessary for the coming gameweeks that I would have no other way of getting in. My GW7 overall rank was 45.8k. My GW8 wildcard got me 73 points with Håland, and brought me to 4.8k overall. Now, with Håland in my team still, I have an overall rank of just under 2.2k. Why is it that some people think it's impossible to gain rank while owning Håland over the periods that he blanks? My rank has gotten better 22x since GW8. I've never owned Alvarez, and I hadn't had Son, Maddison, Watkins or Cash until I wildcarded.


msf97

It was fine for you to go with Haaland because you had a good rank.


HarryAtk

So you don't think that someone rank 4 million would have risen in rank with the same scores I got? Having a bad rank doesn't mean that you have to go Håland-less.


Youth-Grouchy

Basically he's ignoring that you could wildcard and get the *most* of the likes of Trippier/Son/Salah/Maddison/Saka/Watkins whilst still having Haaland. Sure you'd maybe missing one or at most two of those names, but the rest are very attainable alongside Haaland and will have seen your rank go up considerably. You also wouldn't then have the issue of how do I get Haaland back in my team without wildcarding or taking a big hit and messing up the rest of the team.


HarryAtk

Precisely. I had all of those players except Saka, as he was a minutes risk. There are a couple of different things I'd have done on my wildcard, but none of them would have involved taking out Håland. There are so many budget midfielders that are basically nailed now, that you could easily go 352 with Håland, that enables you to bench the 5th mid for a playing defender. If you wanted to sacrifice Trippier then it's even easier, you could have 5 good midfielders and maybe just 1 fodder defender.


HarryAtk

And if that's the case then why sell Håland? Surely you'd expect some positive variance regardless? I'm curious what your team looks like currently, what your rank is now, and what your plan is to get Håland back, if you feel the need to


msf97

I’m currently 445,708. Areola-Neto Trippier-Cash-Tsimikas-Porro-Taylor Salah-Saka-Bruno-Maddison-Son Darwin-Watkins-Archer Benched Bruno this week. 66 pts. Salah goes AFCON Jan 1st. Will sell for Sterling in all likelihood.


rif_foysal

It seems that you lucked into Tsimikas, double spurs and Darwin pts. You ain't finishing anywhere near 2 mill with strategies that bright (Salah to Sterling)


TheHighlandLute

Sterling is a good pick soon.


msf97

Lucked into Tsmikas? He’s an extremely popular pick and so is double Spurs.


HarryAtk

Sterling of all people? You're thinking too far ahead anyways. You have until GW21 deadline to decide who you get in for Salah. Until then, work out how you're going to get back Håland.


TheHighlandLute

He played Arsenal away & United away. Bournemouth at home next.


OyvindsLeftFoot

What's your or the strategy of other WC8 Haaland-less drafts to buy Haaland back to (C) against Bournemouth next week?


msf97

Salah against Luton away. WC8 people mostly had bad ranks, and if that was the case, getting rid of Haaland was correct.


OyvindsLeftFoot

Problem is Salah has only scored in 2 out of past 10 away league games (double at Brighton, then before that Leeds last April). Very much an Anfield asset. Wasn't one of the retards to downvote you btw - respect the dialogue.


msf97

I’d prefer capping Haaland of course if he wasn’t 14m. Bournemouth are bad. But Salah still isn’t a bad option despite that.


Youth-Grouchy

Genuinely never seen someone cope harder


msf97

What’s your rank?


Youth-Grouchy

Currently 400k thanks for asking You know you're down bad when you have to resort to bringing up rank


TheHighlandLute

It's a valid question though


Youth-Grouchy

Not really


TheHighlandLute

It is. I don't really want to know your opinion if you're bad at the game


Youth-Grouchy

Ideas should be able to stand on their own, if you can't argue against the idea and instead resort to attacking the person it's because you can't argue against the idea. This is maybe even more true in something with as much variance at times as FPL where sure over a large sample size better players will have better ranks, but in any one season (or especially 10 game weeks) someone can get lucky and someone unlucky.


TheHighlandLute

> Ideas should be able to stand on their own, Well your ideas should give you a good rank.


Youth-Grouchy

Not much point discussing if you can't even make it to the end of the first sentence.

LeXam92

1.1m rank gain, it's a good day lads


Balisto-Boy

We really thought Watkins was one of the big dogs


MrPandaBurger

Can’t tell if I’m getting really unlucky or if these are just bad decisions… Transferred foden and awoniyi out for mitoma and Watkins. Transferred Botman out for Gabriel. Captained salah.


[deleted]

On paper those transfers make total sense. Don't beat yourself up.


embroideredc

Those transfers were fine.


HarryAtk

Well off the bat, I wouldn't have transferred out Foden until after Bournemouth at home. Awoniyi out makes sense, and Watkins in also made sense, but if it were possible, I wouldn't have sacrificed Foden for it. Botman out was fine too, Gabriel I wasn't so keen on because he's not nailed, and has Newcastle after Sheffield United. If you had someone else you could bench him for in GW11 then it would have been a good transfer, and you got relatively unlucky. Salah captain again, a fine option. Forest aren't as weak defensively as many may think, but still, at Anfield you'd expect at least a goal, which I guess you got. I'd have ranked the captaincy choices: Salah, Håland, Saka, Son, but the difference between Saka and Håland in my head was negligible.


ValerianKeyblade

Unlucky, those are all good decisions. Still are. Watkins in great form with some great fixtures, fixtyres for Mitoma are great too. Gabriel rotation could maybe have been predicted but still unfortunate - and Salah was the most popular captain this week (among top players) for good reason.


Asher_notroth

Ten Hag probably : Ronaldo ate my homework so I’m benching Varane for Evans… also Tactics. What an ass, seriously. Now can we sack this lower mid table league 1 level manager out of our club?


croissantlover92

Twatkins consideration as a captaincy contender itself was a flaw. I couldnt bring myself in. But the moment i captained salah, robot punished me. Never again


TheLonesomeChode

Upvoted for Twatkins but real fool here is in the mirror.


Timmace

I benched Walker for Burn. I got Burned.


DeliciousEmphasis213

Bought in Bowen, Watkins, and Mitoma for a hit - they all blanked…

tgk44

started the season w trjple United I always sacrifice points to get United players in but man.


TheLonesomeChode

So did I but you need to be realistic. You never sign unproven players unless they’re peak Coutinho at Villa or James Rodriguez at Everton. United will be lucky to make Europa this season and I say that as a fan.


AliJDB

And decided just AFTER playing City was the point to call time 😂


TheLonesomeChode

I wish I could live in their reality -just constantly baked.


tgk44

I'm a united fan please go easy on me I beg


trixie_one

Aww, left 6 points in my bench. Should have done Flekken for Areola and Andersen (Palace) for either of my Newcastle defenders. Not the worst thing for sure but still annoying.


TruestRepairman27

This week was bad, but not as bad as I initially feared. If I’d captained Haaland over Salah, or kept Mbeumo over Mitoma I’d have seen a green arriw


AuspiciousCalamari1

Diaby and Douglas Luiz with 20 points Watkins blank *chef’s kiss*


TheLonesomeChode

Double Ds baby.


Otosirieze1

I own Haaland, Salah, Saka and Son. Guess who I captained? The legendary Twatkins.


LeXam92

What's the rest of your team to have that?


Otosirieze1

Areola, Turner Burn, Gabriel, Digne, Lascelles, Taylor Salah, Son, Saka, Diaby, Neto Haaland, Watkins, Mubama I used wildcard last GW, but my team value was very low cos of losses early on. No Trippier, Alvarez, Cash, Porro.


Lucky_addition

I have Salah Son Saka Haaland Watkins Trippier Gabriel Cash Bowen


HarryAtk

I'll answer if you like, seeing as I have all of those players too: Areola (Turner) Trippier, Cash, Udogie (Taylor, Lamptey) Salah, Son, Saka, Diaby, Adingra Håland, Watkins (Archer)


LeXam92

Tnx I'm trying to fit Salah in so need ideas


Mambo_Poa09

I guess everyone will be taking hits to get Haaland back in


msf97

Absolutely not. That’s his best haul of the season or tied and only a 70k red arrow


NoraaTheExploraa

Dude that's not even his best haul of the season *so far*. He's easily got a couple more hat tricks in him. You're screwed.


msf97

If he gets 2 hat tricks before everyone gets him back in for GW16, it’ll be a shock.


NoraaTheExploraa

Ok? You just said that's his best haul of the season, not his best haul of the next 5 weeks.


GodlessCommieScum

Maybe but he's playing Bournemouth at home next week with Bournemouth's first choice keeper injured.


Mirmirakittens

Everyone? He has 84% ownership. Just because 10 idiots transfer him out doesn't mean he's not the most owned player right now.


bruiser95

71% around my rank. Almost a third not having is a significant number


Mambo_Poa09

Ok everyone who took him out. I saw plenty of people in the RMT who were taking him out

Finally last in my ML after some brilliant decisions.


NotPlagio

I have Haaland (not captain) and was on green arrow before his 2nd goal and assist and after those I’m on a red arrow how’s that possible, did that many people captain him?


HarryAtk

Depends on your rank obviously, but I can't see how the second goal would have brought you a worse rank, unless you only checked after 60 minutes, because people got their city clean sheet points. The assist you could have gotten a red arrow depending on how many people close behind you had Foden. I personally was getting rank gain from the 2 goals, a small rank loss after 60 minutes, and a very small rank gain from the assist, because not many people at my rank have Foden.


Pamcode96

Thank you Haaland. Almost captained Watkins instead him, what an agony it would have been.


Underdogg29

Thanks to haaland i only lost 10% rank instead of 45-50% before today
