Nice 0 on the bench, don't feel as bad about not using bb now, would have ended up with 10 points.

i make no apologies for the mistakes I've made this season. I've had a bad one. my instinct has been off, I haven't noticed form quickly enough (bar maybe Cresswell and Ricky recently), I've mistimed swapping premium players, and I don't think any of my chips went well.

sitting well over 1m OR. you can't be that low if you haven't made plenty of elementary mistakes.

but Christ, there are some seasons where it doesn't matter what you do, it just goes wrong.

the only things that would destroy me this week were if some of the following happened.

Bruno hauls.
KDB and Gundogan blank.
Kane getting 10 or more points than Son.
Salah blanks.
Villa keeps a clean sheet.

they all happened.

then I have Areola and Shaw on the bench, with Ricky, no doubt, about to get double digits.

it's utterly mad.

like Liverpool's season, i can only write it all off and start again next season.

:pac::D

Welcome to the club. I can only echo the above - loads of unforseen events happened and stupid decisions on my part. Like stubbornly sticking with a 3-5-2 with Brewster as 1st sub for most of the season! :eek:

Challenge is to turn it around and see can you get some kind of respectability.

I was well outside the 1m overall rank from gw3 - 24 at times at 2m or nearer 2m.

The last four gameweeks including this one has seen me get into the 700k ish mark.

I decided just to go for it and be less worried about taking chances in a WC gw25. BB and TC did not work very well for though.

There is of course a chance that I fall back outside the 1m mark or worse.

But for the first time since I don't know when I am actually happy with my squad. Just having fun with it.

And try and get the team you want - throw in the odd gamble now and again. There are plenty of websites / you tubers that can tell you the way active fpl managers are going.
I found trying to anticipate those moves while veering slightly works much better.

Around the 1m mark is very tight anyway it is more of a physiological thing when you see all those digits week after week. Oh and cut down on points hits!

Pulisic on for Werner.

Havertz was meant to go off but didn't want to. Guess who he took off instead

All subs used, hello Bruno

Seriously need Rudiger to come on to block a load of Shaws off the bench in my main league

He didn't.

At least that was a good benching.
Got AWB wrong though.
I saw on the FFS site after that Man United's defence has done well against the top 6. Really have to pay more attention to those type of things beforehand!

I have that Raphina fella on the bench and played Bamford and Dallas. I could end up schizophrenic watching the west ham game.

Wanting Rafinha to lay it off to Bamford/Dallas but not score himself.

Didn't see the game was Werner any use?

Or just his usual self - fluffing chances after getting in good positions?

Scorpion Sting

Lingard has been red flagged before he plays tonight because of not being able to play United.

When I saw it this afternoon I thought he was out injured.

Same good old Werner.

Azpi has been a good signing

Has to be the most frustrating player to have in fpl this season.

One to keep an eye on next season though. he could click and settle down a bit. Should be a lot cheaper as well unless Tuchel loses patience with him.

Always solid and dependable sort of like how Dennis Irwin was, in that he is so consistent it is assumed he will do well. Plus versatile as well. Great for the fpl bonus system.

But yet the other fellas get the hype.

Lampard was mad to drop him. One of the best full backs to ever play in the league

Scorpion Sting

Roberts goal disallowed through offside.

paulie21

Was very tight

Scorpion Sting

Bamford (Raphinha) disallowed.

Scorpion Sting

Leeds have started very well here.

extra gravy

West Ham pen
Lingard fouled

wonski

Penalty, Lingaard fouled.

He is taking it.

paulie21

Lingard misses and scores rebound

wonski

At least he scored the rebound...

Scorpion Sting

Bittersweet as an owner but at least he scored the follow up.

Father Hernandez

I got the notification to say he'd scored and had Lingardinho typed out.

Slowly retracted after seeing he missed the feckin peno first.

How did Meslier not hang on to it? He does not seem like a proper keeper at all.
