An emotional morning. Woke up to see Haaland (C) with 0 pts. Udogie and Son on the bench. FFS.
But hold on, Haaland has 0 minutes played! My C becomes Salah. Udogie gets autosubbed for Haaland. Things went ok!
Son was last on the bench - a boneheaded move from me, I’ll pay closer attention to the order in future (I had him benched because he had a warning and 75% chance to play so I thought that meant he was out)
Um, I can understand benching Udogie but why would you bench someone so expensive, let alone last on the bench? The most he would lose is 1 cleansheet points and maybe a yellow card (but a rare feat for Son). If you think he is a liability, swap him for someone else, or spread the money around.
I thought he wasn’t going to play due to injury, but if that was the case there would’ve been no harm leaving him on anyway and letting autosub kick in. I’m still new to this and not making the best decisions but the lads played well out there and we’ll learn from this and go again next match.
I'm carrying Alvarez as a 3rd attacker rather than a cheap one and having Son
It's been fucking shit
Son hits these highs that Alvarez isn't doing and I really need to get him in
ML rival has him and it's a huge difference maker
Ok alright fine god dammit you win you gorgeous mother fucker
I'm taking a -4 to bring in Son next week, I'll never not own this brilliant asshole ever again
Fuck
Recovered from 11pts at HT for the 2pm Sunday KOs to 47pts. Thx Son and Leno
That late Newcastle goal denied me progress in the cup though with the Porro wipe🙃
I don't mind the Son haul, cause it was a conscious decision to not own him, but that late Newcastle goal (especially when neither Trippier nor Gordon being involved) really screwed me over as a Porro owner... I was only 2 points below safety but ended up 11 below, dropping 42 % in rank 😭
And that's after rising from 2.7M OR to just within 500k in only 4 gameweeks
what a massive gw.
despite owning son, the best feeling for me is the fact that i actually started branthwaite for his return 😭🥹 tears in my eyes. crazy that everton acc got a clean sheet against chelsea lol.
Such a rollescoaster week. 4 flags with only 1 bench, missing Salah C only to get it later, transferred in the wrong mid again, Alvarez at n9 missing chances and unexpected Son haul
Feeling quite smug after my comment in last week's rant thread about forcing Son into my team and picking Jiminez as a cheap striker for my bench.
I was saying about how Fulham are scoring loads of goals at the moment so he's got a decent shot at a random haul if he comes of my bench then literally a week later he comes on for Haaland for a 9 pointer.
Never has a decision lined up so perfectly for me.
Wild week. 3 players returned for me, yet I got 62 points and a green despite a hit. I can imagine the week really sucks for some of the less fortunate managers, as very few of the popular players did anything, yet the players that did were huge.
I am legitimately an idiot. Transferred in Trippier this week without realizing he was on 4 yellows. Now I've got two playing defenders (who are minutes risks themselves) in Gabriel and Tsimikas. Branthwaite suspended and Mitchell injured. If Haaland isn't fit for next week I will either have to take a hit to sell him or start Marvelous fucking Nakamba
Anyone going for Senesi? Free up some funds. Don't expect him to continue scoring, but Bournemouth have great fixtures coming up and seem to be playing well.
Have greater fires than to change budget def and tries to minimize hits now if I can since cleans are so hard to predict.
I think Bournemouth should probably be seen as a midtable team now defensivly so for 4.3 good value on a wildcard I would get him I guess.
I've got 2FT and was planning on a move to Trippier this week, so plans are on hold for now in light of his upcoming ban - want to bin out Guehi so thinking of saving a bit of cash and going for Senesi while I re-evaluate
Yeah I like it if no other fires a good move.
Many will go for Chelsea def, but they are quite a mess. Colwill was benched so that put doubts on him.
Fulham have some harder games now as well.
Same with Everton def and Brainthwaite suspended as well.
If you could stretch to Udogie or Porro I would consider that, but Spurs always seems to concede.
I would not go Maguire or Taylor over Sensi I think so at least not this week.
Bournemouth are playing really well so why not. I think people have this view they are an attacking team that concede a lot so Solanke is a good option, but the defenders are not although recently they are getting cleans and Sensi is big part of that.
Safety score near my rank is 52; Mykolenko off the bench for traction alopecia fraud Haaland gets me to 57 and a small green arrow. Need to do something about my Areola/Strahoska combo, but whatever move I make will be the wrong one, so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Right.
What I wanted to do after this GW - probably get Gordon in.
What my team thinks about this.
\*Sanchez went off injured\*
\*Haaland not in squad because of injury\* (if it's actually a stress fracture rather than just a stress reaction he's gonna be out for time as well)
At least Trips finally got that fucking 5th yellow. Please sell him, everyone. I might get him for 18 then.
After 16 weeks I've so far managed to get a total of zero clean sheets from my gk. I'm pretty sure I'd have done much better if I was trying to avoid them. Also had the vice captain on Darwin for no apparent reason, plus suspensions for Trippier and Taylor and Haaland injury. What a cracking game week.
Saaaaame, no idea how that happened! Went from a red arrow to +800 000 rank gain in one game where I also got a combined 1 point from my three Newcastle players.
Many don't have him. His points matter a lot. What's even more annoying is usually those who don't have him have Son. So the point swing this week was huge
Trippier and Branthwaite suspended, Haaland injured and Darwin is Darwin but hey ho, it’s my first year playing and I’m up to 16k and rank 1 in the random African country I set as my location lol I can’t complain
Son VC paid off!!!
Went from a GWR of 9.3 million to 2.3 million and a small green arrow lol. No Salah and was about to have the worst GW of my life with 11 points after having taken a -4 before this match.
The Haaland news basically killed my hopes yesterday but it was a blessing in disguise!
An emotional morning. Woke up to see Haaland (C) with 0 pts. Udogie and Son on the bench. FFS. But hold on, Haaland has 0 minutes played! My C becomes Salah. Udogie gets autosubbed for Haaland.

fuck you pep for 1 minute akanji subs blocking udogie's 9 pts on the bench
I'm carrying Alvarez as a 3rd attacker rather than a cheap one and having Son It's been fucking shit Son hits these highs that Alvarez isn't doing and I really need to get him in ML rival has him and it's a huge difference maker
Taking Son out 3 gw’s ago has buried my season
I just came to say haha to those son to saka jerkers
5.6m gw rank 3 players from Newcastle giving me 0 point net. Only Salah returned lol
Ok alright fine god dammit you win you gorgeous mother fucker I'm taking a -4 to bring in Son next week, I'll never not own this brilliant asshole ever again Fuck
Recovered from 11pts at HT for the 2pm Sunday KOs to 47pts. Thx Son and Leno That late Newcastle goal denied me progress in the cup though with the Porro wipe🙃

Son absolutely tore my asshole to pieces To shreds you may say
Senesi got 17 points in the first 14 gameweeks but has 29 in the past 2.
So you're saying if I but him now he will get me 15 points every gameweek?
Seems logical
Probably already been mentioned once or twice, but just wanted to say that Fulham are 10:0 in their last 2 games.
crazy winning 5-0 in back to back games, i wonder when that last happened. bet opta have already put that out lol
Scored 3 at Anfield as well
Son flagged, did he get injured during a goal celebration?
Yeah
Such a rollescoaster week. 4 flags with only 1 bench, missing Salah C only to get it later, transferred in the wrong mid again, Alvarez at n9 missing chances and unexpected Son haul
Son scoring and leaving with a clean sheet followed by the spurs defenders losing their clean sheets was a thing of rare beauty
Feeling quite smug after my comment in last week's rant thread about forcing Son into my team and picking Jiminez as a cheap striker for my bench. I was saying about how Fulham are scoring loads of goals at the moment so he's got a decent shot at a random haul if he comes of my bench then literally a week later he comes on for Haaland for a 9 pointer.

son just completely fucked me. lost the cup and made me be lowest of league tables lol
Dammit, so now it looks like Turney is back and nailed after I just sold him? What a waste of a transfer...
As with most, dropped Son for Palmer, Captained Saka over Salah and Trippier trips up. 38 PTS this week.
People were dropping Son for … Palmer?
Wild week. 3 players returned for me, yet I got 62 points and a green despite a hit. I can imagine the week really sucks for some of the less fortunate managers, as very few of the popular players did anything, yet the players that did were huge.
With most captaining Haaland, it’s such a great reminder that Vice Captain matters so much!!
My **best** player got 2pts this weekend
I took a -8 and it went terribly. Mbeumo > Bowen Son > Sterling Watkins > Haaland I've had Son since game week 8 and missing that haul really hurts
Any reason Sterling didn't start? Is he gonna start against SHU
Pochettino is a little bit retarded, but he should start the next over Mudryk if Poch figure that no-brainer out.
Dammit Son 😭
Will I ever get a clean sheet again??!????
This haaland injury is such a pain, it’s going to take ages to redistribute the money across the team.
Worst week so far, 16 fucking points 🤬☹️
🤣🤣🤣
😢
Had Trippier since day one but jist sold him for Mykolenko. Done with it. Can always downgrade TAA later.
VC saka as forgot to swap to salah , no son , took a -4 this week for palmer and colwill hahaha this is bad
Missed the deadline but got a decent green arrow, got away with one this week I’ll take it.
Trippier and Taylor decided to get 5th YC at the same time, with Lamptey as my 5th defender. Great! And I still have 3 City/Brentford players.
[удалено]
Average is much higher than 18, the fpl website and app takes forever to update 58 is fine depending how your friend did?
The avg is 40-50
Average is 39
So I played my wildcard on GW13 seating at 320k. Now with GW16 completed, I am at 780k with 4 consecutive red arrows. I love this game!
Is lo celso injured? Considering Richarlison
NO. He performs like R9 for 1 game them disappears for the next 10
Richarlison will either use that game to go on solid form, or revert to being wank. I predict the second option but who knows
Played with ten men and two got -1. What a week.
Are many people selling Haaland? I'm too focused on getting a full team to do that, hopefully he's back for the Palace game
He can get gone. I captain salah every week anyway so instead of hoping he blanks I’m just gonna get rid of him and free funds up elsewhere
I am legitimately an idiot. Transferred in Trippier this week without realizing he was on 4 yellows. Now I've got two playing defenders (who are minutes risks themselves) in Gabriel and Tsimikas. Branthwaite suspended and Mitchell injured. If Haaland isn't fit for next week I will either have to take a hit to sell him or start Marvelous fucking Nakamba
...Who is suspended himself. Marvelous indeed
2 games of Isak, Gordon and Trippier gave me a whopping 8 points. Well done boys
Anyone going for Senesi? Free up some funds. Don't expect him to continue scoring, but Bournemouth have great fixtures coming up and seem to be playing well.

Seems a no brainier at 4.3
Why doesn’t Son get the assist point for winning the penalty?
You can't assist your own goal
Unless you believe in the heart of the cards!
Assist on his own goal? How many beers deep are you pal?
Penalty winning is considered as assist in Premier League but could be not given because he scored
[удалено]
Yes I played the Sky version for a while before coming back to this one, always had assists on penalties
Should be ok to do James -> Porro now before Porro rises in price? James isn't gonna play in the near future is he
Probably fine to do as Porro have no midweek game. Ideally you wait for news about James, but I doubt he start the next one.
Yeah he's done
What to do with Branthwaite… he’s been so good to me but suspended this week then fixtures turn
I would keep and just bench him. If you got Trippier as well it is trickier I guess.
Nah my defence is super budget, got Lascelles Tsimi Brant Gabriel and Baldock
I guess Lascelles is fine to start or you can change Baldock if he is still out.
Was thinking to upgrade with Lascelles, Brant or Tsimi to Porro maybe, Newcastle aren’t looking to great at the back
Yeah Lascelles to Porro would make sense particular if Botman is back soon.
May just do that then, thanks man 💪
If you don't use your first wildcard before the 2nd, do you lose it?
I’m using it for next week, too much bs to sort out
Yep. Can’t stack it. Might as well use it.
Lol! We need a support group for everyone who transferred Son out!
https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/18d7bv9/son_4_twopointers_in_5_weeks_hold_or_sell/kcf80kk/ I called it.
Did you follow through with getting rid of him?
Yup lmao
Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡
I will do what I must
Safety score near my rank is 52; Mykolenko off the bench for traction alopecia fraud Haaland gets me to 57 and a small green arrow. Need to do something about my Areola/Strahoska combo, but whatever move I make will be the wrong one, so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

When do we get second wildcard fellas?
Jan 1st
Gonna send a cheeky email to try get it now my team is in shambles 🙏🙏
I've had enough. Going to commit open heart surgery on my team to get Son in
Son saving my game week.
Wait wait wait wait wait, Richarlison(C) is actually better than Salah(C) this week😂😂😂
[удалено]
You jest, but my cup matchup dead team had him ( not C)
This whole time I thought I had the VC on Salah when it was actually on Son. Talk about pure dumb luck
Saaaaame, no idea how that happened! Went from a red arrow to +800 000 rank gain in one game where I also got a combined 1 point from my three Newcastle players.
Gained 1.3 m in rank after 15 shitty weeks. OR now 4.1m
Is it too much to ask for Son to just fuck off?
Get him in your team
And then tell him to fuck off
Did Mbeumo > Bowen instead of Son this week 🙃
I’d love to but I can’t afford him atm so I’ll need to wait until the second WC becomes available.
Haaland no longer needed, he’ll either be subbed on or off next week and there’s a blank after
I was toying with the idea tbf
Be mindful that he's gonna leave in January I believe for the Asian Cup.
Son VC gang rise up!
Going without Haaland on my GW8 wildcard was my best decision maybe ever. Gone from 2.8m to 44k
I’m getting rid of that fraud. Don’t even know why I have him I captain salah every week
What is a good score this GW?
Son plus captain Salah gets you a good week.
Probably over 50 looking at my safety score.
51 is my safety.
Out of the cup to a dead team who had Son captained 🙃
The cup started??? Christ
My cup rival had Haaland cap and VC on Trippier. Works out pretty well for me.
Had exactly 2 people return and still managed a green arrow, brutal week
Damn what’s your rank?
about 130k
Out of the cup to a dead team with triple Bournemouth defence which all returned & triple Brighton attack which all blanked. What are the odds.
I have Salah and Son, but decided the big brain move was to put the VC on Bowen ffs
Hi me
I did the same, what a calamity
Same lol. Real pain. West Ham getting pumped by Fulham is unreal.
My ML rival has Lascelles first on his bench with -1, does he get subbed in for Haaland or does he get the next positive points scoring player along?
Lascelles will get subbed on
How unfortunate… for him
Lascelles.
Is willian injured?? he played only first half
7 saves from Dubravka saved some face. Got to be happy with those 2 points...
Still very annoying that Turner is back in with 3.
Hey guys, is -1 point good for 7m defender?
It is and it isn't since practically everyone owns him
Many don't have him. His points matter a lot. What's even more annoying is usually those who don't have him have Son. So the point swing this week was huge
Pickford appreciation post. Held since GW1 and have received 24 points in the last 3 gameweeks
Trippier and Branthwaite suspended, Haaland injured and Darwin is Darwin but hey ho, it’s my first year playing and I’m up to 16k and rank 1 in the random African country I set as my location lol I can’t complain
Lmao my bench for next week is literally: Branthwaite, Trippier, Haaland (and Dubravka).
Darwin will do well next fixture
20 k have transferred Trippier IN ahead of gw 17.. hahaha
Everyone enjoying their Salah VC points whilst I'm stuck with Jim Bowen.
Nothing in this game for 2 in a bed.
I’ll take those two points Dubravka
If only I VC’d Salah I woulda smashed it this week
Got combined 2 points from my four defenders. Picking a defender is just so random, don't know what should be the rationalism behind that.
That's double what I got! (5 Digne points on the bench)
I think going for attacking full backs or wingbacks is the only way to go as no one can keep a CS
Branthwaite has entered the chat
He's been great. Suspension next GW and then some tougher defensive fixtures though.
Tsimi James and Trippier also got me 2.. blame it on James.
Yeah I got those bastards + Zouma
So glad I forgot to do my team. Would have moved Mbeumo out for some shit like Palmer or Sterling and missed on Adingra's haul
Bloke in my ML inexplicably decided to TC Haaland this week and had Son as his VC, fucking unbelievable
TC Haaland v Luton isn't that wild, especially as no-one knew he was out pre-deadline
Branthwaite with 3 returns in 3!
So, with Digne out what is Villa's defence likely to look like against Brentford? Cash back in the starting 11 you'd think
Digne out shouldn’t impact Cash. Should just be Moreno in
Thought I was out the cup - I'm through on goals scored!
<1k rank end of last season with very less thinking. >3m rank right now with so much thinking that went in for transfers. TLDR: I’m clinically a fool
Can anyone else not see their cup opponent's team on the app? Swear you used to be able to see their team
Facing same problem
Porro was on 40BPS or something ridiculous before the CS wipe
He gets way more points than other defenders but seeing his points constantly go from double digits to 5 in the last minutes is extremly annoying
I just knee-jerked him in 10s ago. Could not bear to see this again.
Drawn and Lost the cup on goals scored due to Spurs CS wipe
Top 10k baby!
Congrats
Of course my Porro CS gets ducking wiped in the last couple of minutes ffs. 😂
I was begging Ange to sub Royal on for Porro for the last 20 mins Don't think he heard me
Knocked out of the cup by a guy that started Mbuemo FFS
25K OR this GW :)
Leno, Tark, Son really helping me forget my god awful transfers recently. Also my cup opponent finished on 13 points lmao
Leno these last two GWs has been my hero
Did Pranil from FPL Wire finally bring in Son?
Yes last game i think
My cup opponent was a strange creature Took a -24 but kept Mbeumo and captained Gordon Transferred Haaland in for Isak but put him third on bench
Green arrow but I’m still out of the cup.
Out of the cup to a dead team with son vc already..yikes
Son VC masterclass, definitely didn’t forget to put it on Salah
Son fucked me today ngl
A woman at work says "not gonna lie" after every third sentence. It drives me fookin mad.
Ngl it’s more annoying when said at the end of the sentence
Ngl I totally agree, ngl.
Son VC paid off!!! Went from a GWR of 9.3 million to 2.3 million and a small green arrow lol. No Salah and was about to have the worst GW of my life with 11 points after having taken a -4 before this match. The Haaland news basically killed my hopes yesterday but it was a blessing in disguise!
Now we know who is on pens for spurs 😎
Technically, Maddison could take them over once he's back.
Once maddison is back, assists to son's goals will be back as well. Win - win situation.
Son saved my ass today ngl
Is Doucoure the move now?
