Fantasy Premier League 2022-23

[Hazardous Mata]

I benched Raya for Pope just before the deadline

Pope did Ok for you.

 

[Lord Camomile]

So, I finally brought in Martinelli and, lo-and-behold, the two other Arsenal midfielders I've owned and sold immediately go and combine to get the assist and goal.

In addition, Maddison gets a 94th minute yellow, not even a red!, leaving him suspended for GW12 and me without a full XI unless I take hits, having actually tried to plan out my whole Arsenal/City conundrum.

Also sold Mitrovic this week, naturally.

And this was all on my wildcard.

I. Hate. This. Game.

 

[marty21]

A better week, thanks to playing the wild card - but some of my sold players racked in some decent points ffs - and my bench scored well too ffs.

Have done the free hit to give my Citeh/Arsenal players a week off

6 points to Raya’s 10.

 

[Hazardous Mata]

6 points to Raya’s 10.

Which is "OK".

Complete waste of a FH. Much better to save for the late season DGWs.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, personally would definitely try to hold off the FH for something like covering a single game (even if it is between two teams who most of us likely have 4-6 players from).

Does require a bit of forward planning to spot the danger and prepare for, though, and even then it can be scuppered by stupid shit like 94th min yellow cards

 

[marty21]

fair point - but I have a Citeh/Arsenal loaded side - so would have had to write off this week and my perilous form recently prompted me to go for it .

 

[elbows]

There is no crisis that spending more points on transfers wont fix (or make worse).

I survived spending 4 points this last week, thanks to one of my transfers in being Saka, and now I will press on with an 8 point transfer spend that includes getting Salah and the temporary loss of Cancelo. I probably still wont manage to field 11 players this midweek though.

 

[elbows]

Once I've finished butchering my team today, if there are no big injuries then I only currently have one big dilemma left up to the world cup. Involving whether I can get away without Cancelo till then.

 

[Numbers]

Bollox, thought today was the first set of games. That’s me fucked this week.

I had 6 Arse/ManC players + James whos crocked. Took an 8 pt hit. Will make our H2H interesting.

Ouch

yes - I pretty much completely changed my team for the week.

 

[starfish]

Looks like i picked the wrong week to bring Alisson off the bench & captain Salah.

Oof!

One of those where you can't really fault the thinking, just football did what football does.

 

[Seymour Butts]

Salah is not the Salah of previous years. Something is not right. I won't even have him in my FPL team at his cost let alone as Captain.

 

[starfish]

Oof!

Im not expecting Sanchez to get more than Allison today. Im more pissed off that i missed out on his 29 points in the previous 2 game weeks

 

[starfish]

He might not be in mine for much longer.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

after liverpool seeming to have got the hang of it, i was thinking about getting salah back, but it would have cost points to do it this week, so i decided to think about it next week when i can do 2 free transfers

I wouldn't suggest doing it at all...

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I wouldn't suggest doing it at all...

i will review and consider my options along with my data analysis team next week.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bugger, Foden coming on means Trossard and his 9 points stay on my bench

Obviously there's a lot of games tomorrow, so still got a chance someone else might miss a game.

 

[Numbers]

Somehow, somefuckinghow Martinelli is my captain and not Haaland, I did not do that purposely, ffs.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Did Martinelli take the place of whoever was your captain last week when you were changing round your team? The captaincy stays on the 'slot', even if you sub/transfer out the player who was your captain, so whoever comes in automatically gets it.

I think

At least you've your Captain to follow in today's games

Martinelli starts

 

[elbows]

The ref who gave Saka a yellow card got that decision very wrong.

 

[belboid]

Omg, only a 75% chance of Haaland playing, could be a fun weekend.

The press conference hasnt happened yet, that status could shift in either direction.
