I got rid of Palmer to bring in Haaland. Theres not enough facepalms for that.

Palmer! Fuck it, had totally forgotten I was looking to bring him in.

That is a particularly rough switch, though.

 

[elbows]

Im enjoying the season so far, even though as usual my inclination to take massive hits caused me to fall dramatically last week. I might try to calm down a little bit on the transfers from now on.

Aaaaaand now Jota

I was planning on transferring him out this week but was out and about and my phone ran out of juice, so he’s in my team.

You might need to, now.

 

[tommers]

Is there anything worse than somebody who has a pun based around a player's name in their team name and then don't have that player in their team? Scum.

West Ham fans. Arsenal fans. Liverpool fans. Leeds fans...

Yup, plenty worse.

I swapped him out for Mbuemo

i might have won a H2H game this week (depends if there's any more bonus points/ substitutions to come)

i must admit i'm finding it harder to get enthused by the premier league / FPL this year - it just feels ever more detached from football.

(and i'm doing crap this season which is all a bit cause and effect)

and need to decide whether to jump on the 'transfer haaland out' bandwagon - which would ensure man city win their next game 8-0 with him getting 5 of them...

 

[hermitical]

I haven't had Haaland at all, and will not this season.
There has been pain, and there will be pain in the future but it's a great ride when things fall into place. Green arrows since GW5 and up to 154k.

keeping him didn't work this week.

bugger.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Heads-up, Friday night fixture tonight

 

[Puddy_Tat]

keeping him didn't work this week.

or this week



(although at least i had salah as captain)



i might even have won a H2H match...

man city have got to get it together some time soon, haven't they?

and should i remind everyone there's a midweek round of matches, so deadline of tea time tuesday?

 

[Charles Ufarley]

keeping him didn't work this week. bugger.

It might work this one, though.

 

[Charles Ufarley]

It might work this one, though.

Or not.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

It might work this one, though.

i did end up dropping him for this round.

although i brought in a chelsea player who didn't get on the bloody pitch and they went and scored 5

 

[Steel Icarus]

Liverpool Everton postponed, for those of you with Liverpool players in the team

Jackson?

 

[Charles Ufarley]

Jackson?

Whackson!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Forgot to give my captaincy to someone other than Isak.

Oh well. Turned out nice again.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

i seem to have had a decent week - 74 points so far, and think there's 12 to come from the bench.

and that's with saka going off injured early in the game...

 

[Steel Icarus]

Looks decent for quite a few. Plenty of 80+ due to Salah's two goals and two assists. Pretty happy with my form; think I might be up to sixth in the league and still third in the H2H. Transferred Saka out for Diaz for Boxing Day.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

I've just got round to reading the e-mail about the 'assistant manager' / mystery chip.

 

[hermitical]

I would rather have not had a chip that requires complicated planning thrown in half way through a season. My rank seems fragile as it is.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

wtf chelsea?

 

[tommers]

What is it? Do I have to pick somebody else and I get their points too?

the way i read it, you get to pick a manager (as in one of the PL teams' managers) for three weeks, and you then get points for their team's performance in those three weeks. But their price has to come out of your existing budget.

Oh, an actual manager. I thought it was you or somebody. Right. That makes less sense than I thought. I'm going to read about it.
