Gets me Gross points off the bench but does little to make this week less painful.

Also have to get Haaland. Simple KDB sacrifice.

If only my sub keeper could sub in 😩

27-08-2022 4:56pm

59 with ~~Zinchenko~~, Kulusevski, Martinelli & Jesus left.

With every passing minute captain Salah was proving to be more of a killer. 9 goals and not even an assist haha.

Could be worse, could’ve captained Cancelo!

wanderer100 · 27-08-2022 4:57pm

Well then, this Salah blank will go down in FPL folklore 😲

KDB 🙄 I got away with murder captaining him

everyone in my league bar one captained salah

mailburner · 27-08-2022 5:01pm

I think the site is f**ked

wonski · 27-08-2022 5:03pm

Imagine TC on Salah this week...

My colleague did. I feel his pain... Will make sure to offer him a full support on Monday morning :)

Gusser09 · 27-08-2022 5:04pm

51 with kusulevski, Jesus, Martinelli, perisic and williams to play.

Over 3 million of players are double checking their captain points and keep refreshing hoping it just not updated yet ;)

SlickRic · 27-08-2022 5:08pm

I've played this game for far too long at this stage.

But that is the maddest incidence of FPL luck/variance I've seen in all that time.

9 goals. Nothing for the team's chief goalscorer, plus he misses two sitters. so it wasn't 9-0 where he was just nowhere. And he played the 90.

The Haaland and Jesus captainers have had the biggest slice of help I've ever seen. It eclipses Havertz (7-0 Chelsea game) v Salah (Utd away) captain swing last season, easily.

It's why we love and despise the game at the same time.

rekluse · 27-08-2022 5:17pm

A couple of people in my ML's triple captained Salah , how sickened would you be.

wanderer100 · 27-08-2022 5:25pm

Could do with Fulham scoring, so many people with Arsenal defenders in my leagues

And a goal/assist from Pereira

eagle eye · 27-08-2022 5:31pm

Just got home and checked the scores and I was so excited looking to see how many of the nine my captain scored. How on earth does that happen?

Might be an unpopular opinion but to put TC on Salah this early in the season is quite silly.

It’s one of the most effective chips available to us, usually best kept for DGW’s. Salah got 90 last season IIRC?

Salah unlucky of course today, I captained him but not once did I think of TCing him. If anyone did, I wouldn’t have too much sympathy tbh.

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 6:08pm

White booked.

Arsenal dominating but only one shot on target so far.

wonski · 27-08-2022 6:08pm

It's not unpopular opinion tbh.

But the way he blanked today must be frustrating for those who risked it that early.

I rather wait for DGW to get my 2 pointer triple captain (eg Lukaku few seasons ago :( )

wonski · 27-08-2022 6:10pm

...

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 6:16pm

Jesus booked

shmeee · 27-08-2022 6:44pm

Mitriovic goal.

A pure gift from Arsenal.

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 6:44pm

Mitrovic goal

Gabriel howler

mailburner · 27-08-2022 6:46pm

4 in 4 now for mitro and he missed a pen

He's lethal when he gets a chance

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 6:52pm

Odegaard (Saka)

27-08-2022 6:59pm

I was put off Mitrovic because of his age...I just seen he's only 27.

I thought he was 33/34 haha

dahat · 27-08-2022 7:11pm

Mad stuff 63 pts & looks like a red arrow.

No Diaz killed me even though I’d a good range of other scorers.

Crazy game at times.

Mr Crispy · 27-08-2022 7:13pm

Martinelli has been wasteful.

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 7:14pm

Gabriel goal (Saliba)

extra gravy · 27-08-2022 7:16pm

Jesus subbed

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 27-08-2022 7:42pm

Salah has cost me about 1.5 million places in the OR. How can that be possible, 9 goals and nothing for him... Very very very annoying today.

shmeee · 27-08-2022 9:08pm

81 points all out. Massive green arrow up to 165k from just under 1 million and Salah was my Captain.

Robbo, TAA, James, Saliba, Gross, Haaland all chip in with cracking scores.

HEWT

It's not, you made it up!

Lemlin · 27-08-2022 11:16pm

46 points with Perisic, Kulu and now Neco Willliams (sub for Zinchenko) sees me tumble to 1.6 million.

Transfer of Diaz to Rodrigo a disaster but I didn’t want 3 Pool with how poorly they’d been playing.

Scorpion Sting · 27-08-2022 11:42pm

84 points all out and up a million places to 171k. Delighted with that.

You are aware that over 3m players captained Salah? You wouldn’t be the only one gaining his points, so I’m not sure how you think a Salah haul would have raised you 2m spots.

Sounds like you didn’t have some of Haaland, Luis Diaz, TAA or Sterling to be honest.

LostArt · 28-08-2022 9:48am

68 with Salah captained and Perisic to play, very happy with that

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119530006#Comment_119530006

Disagree with that, anyone who threw the TC on Salah did so because they thought Liverpool would hump Bournemouth, which they did. Salah is the most FPL prolific player of the last five years. According to fantasy fix his odds of not getting anything in a 9-0 win were 1 in 2,367,596.728. It's just a freak event but the guys decision making was sound, another day he gets five and they're a genius

Fitz* · 28-08-2022 10:20am

Jesus, Haaland & Salah all failed to score against Bournemouth in hammerings.

Bournemouth concentrating on shutting out the main man that they forget about the other 9 players!

28-08-2022 10:35am

What a wild day!

75 with Neto to come in, so hopefully I get at least another point…

ALL the lads in my league had Salah captained, so I enjoyed that 90 minutes of frustrated WhatsApp messages.

My main opponent (from another league) has trippier and cresswell to come in, he’s currently on 71 and and 3 points ahead, still early days though.

Father Hernandez · 28-08-2022 11:26am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119532075#Comment_119532075

I agree with what you’re saying but IMO, it’s sound decision making putting the (C) on Salah only, not TC.

We could easily have a DWG in 2023 where Salah/Haaland is facing 2 poor sides - if he fails in one you still have another game to return at least.

Best example is Salah last year scoring circa 90 points in a DGW, pretty much impossible to achieve in a SGW. Firmino had an incredible return with 2 goals, 3 assists, 3 bonus and ‘only’ got 22 points. If he’d another game, atleast you’re getting another few points. I’d see it as risky in a SGW tbh.

Ace2007 · 28-08-2022 1:00pm

Didn't see any of the 3pm games yesterday, bit annoyed that I took the captaincy off Haaland, but with seemly high numbers going for Salah, didn't want to take that risk. meh.

Obv didn't see the Liverpool came - were Bournemouth just terrible and collapsed or where Liverpool really good?, hard to know who to captain next week, do you go with the team that are scoring goals for fun, or the player that is scoring goals for fun.

Ace2007 · 28-08-2022 1:06pm

Those who TC do so for many reasons, and it's easy just to look at the bigger picture, the poster could for instance

Be in a monthly league and has the chance of winning a great prize for August and saw TC v Bournemouth as chance to seal the deal.
Be in a monthly LMS where they are at risk of going out and figure this will help them.
Be in a GW league where the highest score wins a prize
Be doing crap the last few weeks and just wants to kick start his season - would probably prefer to get 45+ points now than maybe 70+ points in GW30
Be miles behind his mates and losing interest and took this gamble

Regardless of how it turned out - if someone told you beforehand that Liverpool where going to beat Bournemouth 9-0 and you had no other information, you would probably be very tempted to put the TC on Salah.

I need a 25 pointer from Son today. Despite being generally happy with my team I'm currently down to 3.5m OR!
