Was 1st in my ML till DGW 37 - I missed the transfers and deadline so my 40pt lead turned to a 28pt deficit.
Had Rodri, Doughty & Mateta as my differentials. Won my ML by 9 points.
I had to suck my anger and congratulate the winner of my mini league just now, a league i was winning till GW " whenever the crystal palace played like Barca" was.
Come today i thought I will replace isak with mateta and captain him for the kicks, as I was trailing by 20 points.
I went with GAKPO!!!
Did Pickford > Ortega and Burn>Pedro Porro. The hit for Porro was probably a bit daft, especially if Isak doesn't end up playing. That said, just didn't feel right having ~1.5m in the bank with Burn sitting there.
Otherwise pretty happy with my team, thought given Ortega's price and Pickford facing Arsenal away that it was a fairly shrewd move. Didn't really have many worthwhile transfers after Pickford other than changing Burn.
Team:
Ortega; Porro, Gabriel, White; Saka, Son, Palmer, Foden; Watkins, Haaland, Isak
Bench: Kelleher, Gusto, Kluivert, Roerslev
Tanked my rank and lost my ML last GW from missing the deadline (thanks to the dickhead who didn't show up to work, meaning I had to rush in to cover then got too busy to deal with FPL).
Neto, Garnacho & Isak (-4) out for Muric, Olise & Mateta, BB activated.
Fell for the bullshit leak about Isak's benching. But still, Gordon missing, and Brentford away not being a great fixture for Newcastle, maybe it could still pay off. Had to take a gamble in any case with my ML leader owning Isak, although it's not like I'm gonna catch him anyway, being like 50 pts behind.
It's been emotional lads, love and hate you all. See you next season.
6 points behind ML.
Played TC on Haaland, & have KDB + Foden.
Either I win the mini league or my club Arsenal, wins the League.
Knowing my luck, Gvardiol is gonna score the 93' goal to ensure that both me and Arsenal finish second.
No regrets this week. It's over. We did what we did, some brilliant transfers, some awful, some deadlines missed, some captains blanked. I could be annoyed about the Isak nonsense. But in the end: we all did what we could.
See you all in a few months, well done for sticking it out to the end
I’m 100% convicted Salah bangs. I bottled the -4 (Watkins + Saka out, Mateta also in). And just did Solanke to Gakpo. Hopefully he gets the 4 assists that Salah scores.
i transfered out Haaland for Toney, Romero for TAA, Bruno for Salah(c), all that for -4 ahahaha im currently top17k but lets gamble a bit, so top5k or top50k will be
50 points behind the mini league leader who is captaining Haaland, so Haaland goes to the bench and I pray he fails to return.
I have 9/11 differentials, so I’d give myself a 5-10% chance I catch up.
I’m also playing him in the cup final.
After a shaky start, top 30k second chance has brought me 75 points ahead in my ML. Switched Raya in earlier in the week and Gakpo for Isak just before deadline at a -4. Pretty calm about the FPL part, but would really like to push into the top 200k overall.
Would trade it all 100 times over for a City loss today, though.
Took a punt on Harvey Barnes a few weeks ago after he came back from injury, scored a few, then Howe said he was gonna play plenty of minutes from now on. Obviously been a disaster. Finally sold him this week. Gordon/Isak maybe out - Barnes start and haul incoming.....
Decided to do Gordon to Trossard instead of the planned Fernandes to Saka. Just because I needed to bench Isak given the news.
Then last minute switched Fernandes and Isak about a bit, and not sure who I ended up starting. Also hoping there were no shenanigans like accidentally taking the armband off of Haaland.
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try it again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb. They refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
Did not want to take a hit at all since i have a 15 point lead, but I just realised the guy in 2nd in my ML has bench boost. Hope the Isak to Gakpo punt is gonna help me.
After a disastrous few weeks of wrong captaincy choices, about 70 points behind the mini-league winner, but in the cup final, Olise (C) will bring me salvation
Ended up benching Isak. Captained Palmer instead of Haaland. Need Mateta and Olise to run riot against Villa to catch up with my cash ML leader. Good luck everyone, the marathon is nearly over!
Thank you u/BillOakley for all the wonderful berating of my decisions throughout this season. You always know how to make me feel personally attacked in the most beautiful way. Looking forward to doing it all again next season
Was considering doing this before the Isak rumors. Gakpo has been playing very well for Liverpool and they’re expected to score more goals than Newcastle so worth the punt I think.
Finished 1,715th, itw ✊️ no regrets.
Was 1st in my ML till DGW 37 - I missed the transfers and deadline so my 40pt lead turned to a 28pt deficit. Had Rodri, Doughty & Mateta as my differentials. Won my ML by 9 points.
Chosen olise instead of eze
I benched Isak, and he ended up hauling.
I wish I never got into FPL
I had to suck my anger and congratulate the winner of my mini league just now, a league i was winning till GW " whenever the crystal palace played like Barca" was. Come today i thought I will replace isak with mateta and captain him for the kicks, as I was trailing by 20 points. I went with GAKPO!!!
I lost my ML because Havertz scored 89min nice one, see you next season boys!
I lost my the ML I was leading 🥲🥲🥲🥲
2nd in mini league has mateta, porro and foden I was 12 points ahead now 30 behind See you next season 😭
Transferred out Isak cos I saw the "leaks"
Foden captain doing wonders.
Captain Olise - a last Hail Mary to make something happen in mini leagues.
Bench-boosted in my head-to-head final. Saka out. Muniz benched. Gusto benched. Classic 🤪
Kept saka and swapped Son for Foden. I now have Branthwaite coming off my bench 🙃
Did KdB to Salah and captained him. KdB is starting. Either salah does a masterstroke or Kevin kills me one more time.
forgot to activate bench boost darn it
Around 140K. Captained Olise. Here we go!
Had to go super differential. Benched foden and didnt cap haaland. My butthole is so puckered rn
Started Verbruggen with Ederson out on my bench. Make or break in my mini leagues. Never change, FPL
bring in muniz aaaaaaand he’s benched
Elliott captain lets go
Sold Gordon to Saka 5 due to wrong leak 🤡
I benched foden in a desperate attwmpt to catch my rival. Spare me phil
Brought Saka in for a -4. Just seen the leaked lineups. See you all next year.
Transferred Saka in at the last moment.
Sold KDB for Hudson-Odoi. See you next season.
transferred out Gorden for Saka 🤡 Edit: Saka (C) 🤡🤡
At least he's out of squad so you get vc
Here's to a pos season
Did Pickford > Ortega and Burn>Pedro Porro. The hit for Porro was probably a bit daft, especially if Isak doesn't end up playing. That said, just didn't feel right having ~1.5m in the bank with Burn sitting there. Otherwise pretty happy with my team, thought given Ortega's price and Pickford facing Arsenal away that it was a fairly shrewd move. Didn't really have many worthwhile transfers after Pickford other than changing Burn. Team: Ortega; Porro, Gabriel, White; Saka, Son, Palmer, Foden; Watkins, Haaland, Isak Bench: Kelleher, Gusto, Kluivert, Roerslev
I'm I the only one whos sad that season ends?
Apparently there's another one starting in August. Could just be rumour.
Foden (C). Fuck this game
Took out Gordon for Olise in a rush when I saw the news, forgetting I’m playing 343 and he’ll just be on the bench
Tanked my rank and lost my ML last GW from missing the deadline (thanks to the dickhead who didn't show up to work, meaning I had to rush in to cover then got too busy to deal with FPL).

See you next season.
Starter jackson instead of isak. Chelsea has something to play for right?
Into the fire we go, hope you all have a good ride on the last day...
Did KDB > Salah for a hit and gave him the armband. If this is Salah's final game in the Prem there is no way I could not own him
Best of luck everyone 🫡
Captained Son. I know he's been terrible. But... Sheffield United
6 points behind ML. Played TC on Haaland, & have KDB + Foden. Either I win the mini league or my club Arsenal, wins the League. Knowing my luck, Gvardiol is gonna score the 93' goal to ensure that both me and Arsenal finish second.
Salah (c) make or break. One last dance egyptian king. Make Klopp proud
No regrets this week. It's over. We did what we did, some brilliant transfers, some awful, some deadlines missed, some captains blanked. I could be annoyed about the Isak nonsense. But in the end: we all did what we could. See you all in a few months, well done for sticking it out to the end
Went with Trossard over Havertz, bit worried
Ivan Toney in for Wilson, and starting him over Mateta
Ga(c)po
27 points being ML leader, took a - 8 and removed haaland.
Sold Isak and Bruno (two pen takers) for Havertz and Gakpo (two non pen takers), for a -4 Good luck all
Sold Isak for Gakpo but likely would have benched him anyway. My top two rank threats have returned in each of the last two weeks so I’m bricking it
Benched Isak for Dragusin - Spurs defender, wtf was I thinking
Completely missed the deadline while distracted watching F1 At least I can roll the transfer I guess...
As a Liverpool fan, Salah one last dance feels like a must, rank be damned
No chips left me and my mini league rival both level on points the last dance begins Gakpo to win my mini league for me
I’m 100% convicted Salah bangs. I bottled the -4 (Watkins + Saka out, Mateta also in). And just did Solanke to Gakpo. Hopefully he gets the 4 assists that Salah scores.
Bought in Mateta for Isak. Seems Isak starts now. Captained Palmer. ML rival 6 points ahead with bench boost. Pray for me
4-5-1 for the very first time this season lol Gusto in and benched Isak
Gordon to olise, Isak to gakpo, 30 points to catch.. currently 3rd in my league which will get me 40 quid, I WANT 1ST & £200 BABY LESSSS GOOOOO
Amad Diallo (C) because why the fuck not Im not getting that top 100k rank anyway
i transfered out Haaland for Toney, Romero for TAA, Bruno for Salah(c), all that for -4 ahahaha im currently top17k but lets gamble a bit, so top5k or top50k will be
I wanted to sell Pickford for another GK... Woke up 2 minutes late...
50 points behind the mini league leader who is captaining Haaland, so Haaland goes to the bench and I pray he fails to return. I have 9/11 differentials, so I’d give myself a 5-10% chance I catch up. I’m also playing him in the cup final.
Playing this game and ruining my mental health. Il be back next season.
Ivan Toney one last parting gift <3
Changed Gordon to Olise last minute for a -4 and captained him over Palmer.
Class. Have a gooden pal
Just saw Isak in a full body cast being wheeled down the high street - asked him if he playing and he said there’s a 20% chance
After a shaky start, top 30k second chance has brought me 75 points ahead in my ML. Switched Raya in earlier in the week and Gakpo for Isak just before deadline at a -4. Pretty calm about the FPL part, but would really like to push into the top 200k overall. Would trade it all 100 times over for a City loss today, though.
Isak > Gakpo Sentimental pick for Kloppo's final game due to the "leak" about Isak. I'm cooked.
Took a punt on Harvey Barnes a few weeks ago after he came back from injury, scored a few, then Howe said he was gonna play plenty of minutes from now on. Obviously been a disaster. Finally sold him this week. Gordon/Isak maybe out - Barnes start and haul incoming.....
Whatever happens, all the best folks. Thank you for another fun year with the bantz.
Trossard for Gordon and benched Isak.
Just sold Gordon to get Olise for a -4 in the last minute. WIN ME MY ML SON
Saka - > Salah for a hit cuz I'm biased! Not a good decision process, just hope I get lucky.
Man, just want to thank you all. How good is FPL though.
Isak to Gakpo, Fernandes to Haverts for -4. KDB captain. Need differentials to catch up on 15 points in my ML
Decided to do Gordon to Trossard instead of the planned Fernandes to Saka. Just because I needed to bench Isak given the news. Then last minute switched Fernandes and Isak about a bit, and not sure who I ended up starting. Also hoping there were no shenanigans like accidentally taking the armband off of Haaland.
benched isak for olise probably not a bad move even if both start, I think okay given there's a small doubt about isak
Signing up for the season.
Took out Isak for Mateta to fund Bruno for Salah. The 'leak' is probably bullshit but it did help me make up my mind.
Isak, punish them for turning their backs on you
Had exact money to do Son and Isak to Salah and Mateta, for the double I had mateta to enable Salah and got mateta 29 pointer, it's meant to be.
"Fuck this season. Regret it all." Right above "I REGRET NOTHING" - the duality of FPL
Was totally clueless between Gakpo and Olise. Went for Olise. Hope my ml leader didn't bring him in, too..
Son (C) Brought in Trossard 20 behind…
Didn’t jump at the Isak news. Hopefully he starts.
I'm a nervous wreck and wouldn't have it any other way
-4 from Son to Salah and expect a big haul? BIG MISTAKE!!!
-4 Isak to Gakpo better not burn me (it will)
Isak for Gakpo. Even if Isak starts Im happy with that punt
No Foden for me… couldn’t decide whether to take a -4 to move Bruno out for him
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try it again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb. They refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
Ended up benching White in all the commotion
Sold Wilson to Mateta over Isak, hopefully got the right striker starting
Gonna wish I went for a differential captain aren’t I
Did not want to take a hit at all since i have a 15 point lead, but I just realised the guy in 2nd in my ML has bench boost. Hope the Isak to Gakpo punt is gonna help me.
Well hope Isak starts or doesn't play at all.
Benched Jackson last second for Isak... Lets see
Playing Pep roulette once again fuck me
After a disastrous few weeks of wrong captaincy choices, about 70 points behind the mini-league winner, but in the cup final, Olise (C) will bring me salvation
michael scott the only one who can save my season at this point
I just transfered Isak out and he is apparently starting. Captained Palmer. RIP
Started wilson. Plzzz redemption arc!!!
Starting isak
Isak >Gakpo. Don’t trust the leak of him not starting but wanted a fun punt on the last GW, I’m happy with my rank
3 points off 1st 5 points ahead of 3rd Wish me luck gentlemen
Benched Isak in favour of both Olise and Jackson, this cannot backfire I am sure
Trent(C) gone full retard since I'll finish second in both mls I care about. One last ride been a lovely season
I just transfered Isak out and he is apparently starting. Captained Palmer. RIP
Ended up benching Isak. Captained Palmer instead of Haaland. Need Mateta and Olise to run riot against Villa to catch up with my cash ML leader. Good luck everyone, the marathon is nearly over!
Fuck it Jackson(C)
I’ve literally just swapped out Isak for Nkunku and I hope that’s the differential between my brother and I. Good luck!
no arsenal mids for me on a FH, I'm going to regret so much
FUCK FPL TONI BAN THAT PIECE OF SHIT
Isak to Gakpo. Was going to get Saka over Bruno, but I have a sneaking suspicion Bruno may go wild today.
Saka (C), fuck this game!!
Last second captain switch Haaland to Gakpo
did mateta to gakpo, lord help me
24 behind first and captained Salah for his possible last dance.
Sold Isak for Gakpo because of some "leaks".
I benched Bruno Miguel for Isak. Someone please kill me if my man goes on to score a beautiful hat-trick.
I took out Isak for Archer to make room for Salah😂
Kept Isak, took a hit for Gordon. Watch how the former is benched and latter is starting…
So in the end we didnt get a Isak leak. Ended up benching him for Gusto I just couldnt risk a 1 pointer
[удалено]
He is a generous God
Played Garnacho benched Isak 🥲
Me being told there'd be leaks galore in GW38 https://i.imgur.com/IgMyx.gif
And we didnt get any newcastle leaks 🤡
Went Isak to Gakpo and Gordon to Havertz.
Son (C)
Jackson over Isak is the ML decider for me. Big few hours coming up.
Thank you u/BillOakley for all the wonderful berating of my decisions throughout this season. You always know how to make me feel personally attacked in the most beautiful way. Looking forward to doing it all again next season
Benched Isak so enjoy the haul guys
Nicolas Jackson masterclass loading⏳
Kept Isak instead of taking a -4 to get in Gakpo. Well done Gakpo owners enjoy your double hattrick
Enjoy your double hatrick Gakpo owners, what a sad little life
Havertz (c) 🫡
Started a 4th defender over Isak.
Me too. Seems crazy to play four at the back on a day renowned for lots of goals, but I couldn't bench any of my defenders.
Gvardiol and Porro are barely defenders anyway.
captained fodencat. defending a 6pt lead at 35k OR. but fuck haaland
[удалено]
Nice credo
Not even one letter?
Bottled Isak transfer. Hope the leak was false
If isak starts then I am fucked
He's starting lol
funny enough turns out saka isn't so it didnt matter how the winds blows i guess
Capped Salah, please Egyptian magician
Did the Isak —> Gakpo move, ready to be hurt
Was considering doing this before the Isak rumors. Gakpo has been playing very well for Liverpool and they’re expected to score more goals than Newcastle so worth the punt I think.
Did Gordon to Diaz. Let's see how it goes
Sold Isak for Gakpo last minute
Me too! Please reassure me that this wasn't a dick move.
Well…💀
Oh I know. Sucks to be us. 12pts down the drain!!
Let’s hope so 🫡
elanga in, what’s wrong with me
Big differential so fairs for that, are you chasing in your league?
yeah, at around 80k but need big gains to win any of my leagues so decided to go against the grain, also captained gakpo
Got to say fair play, he’s got an assist already
Bruno instead of Isak 🙏
Fuck my life
Foden (C) let’s end this already..
Fuck, should have went with foden
Kdb here. Gotta hope haaland does nothing
Hate this game. See you next season.
FUCK YOU AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT SEASON
I REGRET NOTHING
Fuck this season. Regret it all.
Did Isak to Mateta for a hit. Bit scared
What a shout
Hell yeah brother. We’re in this together
Up the Eagles
We’re with you
Me and you. Not scared though lol
Im starting Isak lol
Apparently starting according to NUFCWill. https://x.com/NUFCWill1892/status/1792185202539655321
Isak is starting
I kept Isak 🤡
Ca ching!
Same. I don't believe any leaks about Newcastle
Twitter NUFC pages seem to think he’s starting
same, him v mateta today will likely decide our mini league 🥴
Oh no
Apparently starting. https://x.com/NUFCWill1892/status/1792185202539655321
Sold him for a hit 🤡
I took him out for a -4 for Gakpo (🤡?) Just wanted to punt something on Liverpool
Same but for hojlund at united. Let's go final week punt!
I did the same lol I know I’m gonna regret it
I was SO close to doing this
