GW16: Matchday thread

Some benching headaches this GW for many. And many teams, like mine look like a a FH team actually!

3 FTs, used 2. Got Cash in last week, and Cash out this week for TAA, waste of a transfer last week. Gabriel causing the problems and yet I'm still holding. Bruno down to Enzo also before he dropped last night and took 0.1 profit from him. 102.2 team resale value when checked doing transfers last night, the extra funds needed more now with the assistant manager chip.

Salah captain but Isak is calling me also. Ranked 60k, so don't want to be be too mental... And keep the ship steady.

Sanchez also could easily be dropped for Chelsea, at least have backup goalie.

There is going to be big bench scores this week, with the way the fixtures have fallen for many teams.

My team, going Saka captain, probably against the norm!

Would you bring Enzo in for Johnson or a striker?

Oh I know O'Shea and Henderson likely coming in...but the other 2, however slim of making it, are probably better.

I wouldn’t be benching Enzo based on form /

It's done now, But for who...

The others have Southampton and Ipswich...so could return also....too late so let's see how it goes

Great stuff. Hall was first sub anyway, so wasn't too worried.

I see also, all my starting 11 have home fixtures, rare. Majority will be same with the way fixtures have fallen.

Wasn't expecting Gabriel or Diaz to start tbh..

Robertson down injured in 1st minute. He's continuing on for now. Tackle on the knee by Diop. Very easily could have been a red card.

Pierira goal for fulham

Pierira yellow card, misses next game.

And then he scores at back post.

That's the CS Gonzo.

Robinson Assist maybe...

Andy Robertson red card

Owners have had some 16 minutes with Andy today! Carnage. He could have been off injured in first minute.

My weekly bench warmer

Isak one on one, straight at goalie. Could have dinked it over the goalie.

Swapped captaincy from Palmer to Salah in the last available minute, it went through.

He done well to stay in my team this week! Excuse to move now. Skin of his teeth, coin toss with Hall.

Isak (Hall).

Yeah I swapped him this week for Timber

As a Salah captainer and a Robinson bencher I'll take that

The big difference between teams in my ML at the top is RAN v Hall. Hall starters in dream

🤫

(I think it will be reverted though)

Correct me if I'm wrong and I may well be (couldn't be bothered searching the FPL rules at the moment), but doesn't Isak have to be the intended target for the cross?

If that is the case, it simply cannot be awarded by FPL as a Hall assist. He's clearly pulling the cross back into a general central area in the box well behind Isak. No idea who FPL would say the cross is intended for in that instance, but it clearly is not intended for Isak.

Finally a return form Cunha

I thought I broke him

Muniz (Robinson)

Have both, but expecting Hall to drop…just wished they'd do it now rather than Monday.

(Of course Ill take a lucky break if they are asleep, or own him themselves)
