    Salah has a few points.last few weeks but anyone watching the games should know he's not himself and not playing at his potential .I wouldn't get rid but there's better captains out there .

    One player to get rid of is Arnold imo

    Biggest transfer in last week was Jesus .what a waster he is.no wonder he's off to arsenal



  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭Ozvaldo


    No brainer for those who don't know anything abt football- He's bate since the African nations also in a contract dispute few assists that any mid table midfielder might get 13 million for that me arse.

    Well done folks......Some seriously high scores here tonight!!.....FH for me 108 Pts with 25 on the Bench!.....TAA, Jesus and Cash the duds starting.Had KDB Captain and Mo VC.....25 points on the bench....highest I've had all Season I think!

    Kulu and Saka to go.Very happy as have had a fairly steady run of improved scores since GW 20 where I was stuck at 1.2m OR after some poor luck with Captain Picks and injuries in opening half of Season..Am up to 160k now......would be delighted to finish in top 150 k.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    144 on BB. Not bad for a captain fail and not having KDB. Sterling, Mount, James, Schmeichel and Foster put in some work tonight. Saka and Nketiah still to come. Gone from 100k to 50k.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,281 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    This pleases me very much.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    And you posted this afterwards. 🤣 so assume this is trolling?

    I have him but didn't captain him and if it was a no brainer then

    the overall leader (who doesn't have him) must be rubbish at this.

    I got rid of salah many weeks ago for kdb but that was one of the few things that went well this week.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Craziest FPL night in a long time.

    Have seen my ML leads wiped out overnight & my rank collapse from 2k to 5.3k. Leads are literally down to less than 10 points after been 50-100 ahead. I’m on 66 for this GW

    I wanted KdB but as a Liverpool I wouldn’t of got any satisfaction watching him rip it up but 4 goals.. never thought it could get that bad with so many no shows on my team.

    I’ve FH next GW but I’m honestly scattered now with what to do - I had Vardy & Maddison in my prep team but they’ve gone & killed it v Norwich.



  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭Ozvaldo


    Who was your captain when you didnt bother with de bruyne for captain who was the better option in your squad in your opinion ?

  • Registered Users Posts: 530 ✭✭✭Ozvaldo


    what do you mean theyve killed it -are you saying they wont do anything next week because of doing well this week?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    I went with Jesus with kdb vice

    It was a poor decision but I'm miles behind and nobody had him in my league, few had kdb

    up til this week also.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    I’ve never seen anything like it. I was thinking this morning that if someone had 2 transfers available and went Laporte and KDB (c) with them as opposed to say, Robbo and Salah Captain, the swing was 66 points! On two decisions!

    Whilst I have no problem with lads getting their points from KDB, as he was a viable captain option, picking the top scorer in the league, playing for a side going for the title, who was rested the previous GW was hardly a mad decision. KDB (c) was certainly not a no brainer, especially for anyone who saw him v Madrid.

    Of course if I was on the other side I’d be delighted but I’ve never been punished as severely in my 11 years playing for 50/50 decisions as I have this season. I can only hope I come out on the right side of them a bit more next season.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    A few die hard utd fans in my league will not captain a Pool player. I'm a pool fan too but will captain any player, saying that I'm

    not very good at this game either 🤣 some ridiculous scores this week.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    I don't have KdB, and it's a bit of a gutter (who am I kidding, I've floated to the mighty heights of 330k in recent weeks, I don't really care). But it's those bonkers swings that happen a handful of times a season that makes the game what it is right?

    Although I captained Son, so my spirit for the GW isn't entirely crushed just yet...

    The less said about how my BB is going the better though! 103 (-4)



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    This has definitely been one of the more enjoyable GWs this season

    Jumped from 5th to 2nd in my league last night. Only 17 pts off the top now. Been a gradual comeback as I’m pretty sure I was over 150 pts behind first not too long ago.

    Need Martinelli to have a quiet night tonight to stay within touching distance



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 318 ✭✭nomoedoe


    Best week of the season for me on 130pts with 3 to play tonight ,taking out Kane and Trent for KDB and Cancello and captaining KBD was the best decision i think i ever made in FPL still can’t believe it worked out for me 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    The reason we love this game and it’s so bloody addictive is the unpredictability of it all.

    I was on the right side of fortune with KDB (C) but to say it’s a no brainer is a bit much IMO.

    How many times have we seen no brainers not work out or fail miserably?

    The game is skill and a lot of luck at times, sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s why we love it. The game would be far easier if looking at it in hindsight.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Not saying they won’t but I don’t think a lot of people had them on their radars plus their consistency levels haven’t been great this season so I’m torn about what to do with them now

    I can totally get that. Ronaldo killed me many moons ago because I refused to get him & captain him for similar reasons.

    i really think if I wasn’t such an avid Liverpool fan I would of brought KdB in for Salah a while ago & that’s not hindsight speaking.


    I called it that those chasing should defo go KdB over Salah & similarly Ronaldo over Kane.

    I’ve dropped from 2k OR to 5.5k OR overnight. I got up to 2k OR playing aggressive & taking hits. I flew clear in my ML’s. Ive I went on those 2 moves & set my ambitions higher I really could have had a serious OR - not saying I can’t still. I think the unorthodox nature of all the DGW’s allowed for an aggressive style this season



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,192 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Not many people commenting in the captain thread about KDB, and only about 1/3 of the votes that Salah got. A lot of hindsight to say that it was a no brainer.

    Fair play to those that captained him, got the decision right, especially the ones that said the were doing it, as it went against the grain. Salah had a crazy high EO this GW, something like 180%, which suggests the majority of people went Salah.

    I was torn between the 2 and let heart rule head - something you shouldn't do in FPL!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Tottenham XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Son, Kane.


    Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, Holding, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Nketiah.


    No Taveres for Arsenal, that doesn't help my -12 and BB to get him in.... I taught he was at least going to start one game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,192 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Whatever about wanting the players I own to score, I could really do with Son staying very quiet. And not getting a CS point if possible.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    I’m the same, only Spurs is Kulu which scares me tbh.

    Saka and Nketiah too, would love a few returns from all 3 but if Kulu does, most likely it’ll be Son or Kane.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,315 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Oh ffs.

    Kane (Son)

    Very soft penalty imo



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,192 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    Was really hoping that that somehow would be a Kulu assist. And that's not even as a Kulu owner, it's just to stop Son getting it!!


    I'm in the same boat with Kuku, Saka & Nketiah.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,314 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Sold Kane this week for Jesus

    Yeah



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    Kane bentacur assist


    son assisting the assist



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,938 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    kane could get another couple and given its arsenal I think they'll get 2/3 more


    kulu my first sub so dodging some bullets here

    Kane and KDB running riot this GW.

    My BB won't even cover my -12, with Ramsdale already letting in 2 and the flood gates going to open now against 10 men.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Holding sent off, 2 yellows



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Bloody Kane is in my team but don't have him this week cause the free hit so just watch him do nothing next game week!



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Son goal !!! Get in



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Come on Son more!



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Son misses a sitter !!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    No assist on the site yet? Hope none is given ffs.

    **** all my players finished now Kane still hanging around to punish me ha.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    Tavares on! 1 extra point. I'll take it.

    Bench Boost gets me 17 (full bench of DGW's) so -12 is covered. Partyyyyyyy!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭markc91


    157(-12) all out on BB which got me 31 points up into the top 250k for the first time in this awful season



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Son and Kane giving me a positive end to a disastrous GW. 83 (-4) sees me drop 40k places and out of the top 100k.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    127 points in the end. 28 points behind 1st place in the work league now I was nearly 70 behind few weeks ago somehow! Two massive game weeks coming up now. Gonna have my head wrecked trying to decide what to do with my team for next few days!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    154 (-8)

    And thank fook I took that -8. Conservative has been killing me this year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,521 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Yes and captained instead of Salah as a result.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭shmeee


    125 (-12) on BB sees me with the smallest green arrow I've ever got or even seen for a GW. It's actually made me laugh.

    24,560 OR to 24,524. I've jumped up 36 places! Can't believe its not a red arrow when I see the scores around here.

    Nketiah, Mount, Son, James and Cancelo making up the majority of it.
