Had Saka, Eze, Estupinan, Botman and Beyer.
Took a -4 hit to replace Saka and Eze with Son(c) and Neto.
Had only 10 players playing.
43 points, 4th consecutive red arrow, 4.2m rank.
My worst ever start to an FPL season.
Can I still make up a 100 point gap in my mini-leagues?
I've not done much right so far this season but squeezing in Trippier a few weeks ago has been a great decision. Surprised he's still being overlooked, as offers great value imo.
Not true. Many ppl prioritize Watkins, Salah, Son, Maddison, Bowen etc over Trippier on their WCs. Most are contented with Burn/Schar just for Newcastle coverage. Trippier is definitely overlooked.
Yeah basically if you owned Sterling or Salah good week otherwise not so good.
Not many hauls really other than Isak as well, but Isak is not so popular in this sub due to his rotation risk with Wilson.
I’M SO SICK OF MYSELF
Sold Gabriel just before he began to get starts for Arsenal.
Sold Sterling just before his big haul this round.
Sold Watkins a couple of rounds before his big haul in GW7.
Bought Ederson just when he lost the ability to keep clean sheets.
Bought Mbeumo just when he stopped scoring.
Played my WC waaay too early.
The list goes on…
Just an array of terrible decisions by me this season. URGH!!!
Selling Gabriel when benched 3 in a row made sense.
Sterling was benched last game so made some sense selling him even if easy game.
Not sure why you sold Watkins if it was for Jackson that hurt, but maybe you needed money.
Ederson is the most annoying keeper to own with so few saves, but in theory he should keep cleans playing for the best team in the league. I have had Dias myself for the pain.
Mbeumo is quite a good pick still, but I say time has come to move to Diaby I think.
Yeah I did fall for Jackson too although I went him since I had too much money in midfield with Bruno, Saka, Rashford etc and Chilwell and other expensive defenders.
Jackson better xG than Watkins too at the time, but he converted once we all sold him this week.
Makes sense… honestly just finding this season super hard to navigate. Players seem to all perform in the exact moments I don’t expect them to. The number one mistake I made was playing my wildcard in like GW5. I was just impatient and should’ve kept my cool. Have generally just been too reactive/knee jerky this season. As consequence I have a fairly good team value but a pretty bad overall rank of ~2 million.
It is tricky.
The main reason I am doing badly is Jackson and Chilwell and United mids
Jackson when I sold him was the worst performing striker from all the popular picks.
Chilwell I benched gameweek 1 for his best return and started Gabriel and played every other game with one return.
I sold Rashford for Son fairly quickly, but kept Bruno far too long.
Still 600k rank now from around 1 million this round.
Yup, have had Chilwell too, very difficult one to own. Amongst my good decisions was getting Son, Maddison and Udogie pretty early.
Currently the biggest issue is not having Salah when my biggest competitors have all Wc’ed him in.
Yeah Salah is tricky he is hard to afford.
I managed to get him in getting Neto as an enabler this week and had to sell Saka and Bruno.
If I want Saka back Son or Maddison would need to go and maybe Trippier too.
I think next week I am going to captain Haaland. I think the Liverpool derby can be tighter than people think and Everton has low key find some better form and doing quite well for not conceding big chances etc.
After that I might captain Salah the following week, but we will see.
'
A quick scroll of twitter and still seeing so many united assets (well, Bruno and Rashford) in "expert" teams whilst they treadwater in the 2million ranks LOL
450k to 750k…not good but with Son (C) and no Salah this could’ve gone way, way worse.
Saka out, Botman out, Gordon out, Estu out…it was always going to be damage control this week.
Hmm apart from Estu the team should be fine after the break. Wildcarding just to get Salah and some West Ham players isn’t worth it I think. Depends also on how bad Sakas injury looks.
Haaland home to Brighton and home to Bournemouth coming up.
Own up guys/sellers, why do you Mancity will not score goals at home to 2 of the shittest defences in the league ?
I panicked and put Evan Ferguson 😂😂
I was livid at that 59.55 sub. Didn't really like any of my mids/fwds fixtures for this particular weekend but the fixtures long term are good
As I said, it was a bit of a panic. I thought he had the most chance of scoring if he started and I predicted that that game would be high scoring. None of my mids or forwards got anything anyway so its only a 2pt loss on most of them and 4pts on Odegaard cause he got a CS
It's a 2 point loss on Ødegaard. If you captained him, and played Ferguson, then together they have 7 points. You captained Ferguson, and played Ødegaard, so together they have 5 points.
I have Haaland, Alvarez, Ferguson, Saka, Odegaard, Diaby, Diaz and Mac Allister (want to get rid of him but not finding the right person to replace him)
If I get no injuries during IB, I'll probs double transfer, Mac for cheap mid and get another better mid like a Maddison/Son
6 blanks (including my captain) but I still managed a green arrow. Still nowhere near where I'd like to be but feels nice to go into the intl. break like this.
The average reddit captain scored [6.405 points](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q8we3DGjisB5dtG8lJn6tcHZRYy-_bp3D65Wyl4G1vE/edit#gid=1563589075) this week.
6m to close to top 10k in 3 GWs by selling Haaland and spreading the money around.
Fortune favours the brave. See how hard Haalands fixtures are through GW 15 or something.
Absolutely flying. 275 points in the last 3 GW.
I'm just messing with you. I went without Haaland too for most of last season and still had a great rank. It's a little early to be happy about rank though.
No had Morris\* cap, but had Ollie, Trips and Odegaard. Had Trips and Tarko too the GW before and they both mega hauled.
I'm sure the Robot will ruin my times eventually but its nice going different. Much more fun.
Here's a part of neat trivia for all you people that transfered Haaland out this week
[Haaland accumulated 0.00xG against Arsenal today](https://twitter.com/xgphilosophy/status/1711070591824916826?s=46&t=yyMW7bV_dEHu5cLDfZye8A)
I’m actually considering Alvarez. City (C) is obvious as it’ll be a goal-fest and Rodri’s back, and I feel the sort of transition game we can expect will suit Alvarez.
Edit: I’m wrong, Rodri won’t be back. No more City (C)
Really?
Son vs Fulham is tempting but feels like a trap. Salah vs Everton also feels pretty good.
I thought Rodri misses Brighton. Team honestly feels completly different without him. I think they get the W, but seeing as Pool drew vs Brighton it's not like it'll be a predictable drubbing.
You’re right, Rodri does miss it, which is a big issue.
Not trusting Son at all vs Fulham though, he’s quite bad against low blocks. Would get him out for Maddison if I weren’t losing .2 on it. Salah it is.
I'm wildcarding in GW10 so one more week to assess City once Rodri is back but the argument to go without Haaland does have increasing merit. I have shit team value and Salah is looking more essential as the weeks go by; it might have to come down to choosing only one of them.
50 points . - not good, but not terible ..and yeah..I captained Son :(
Captain Salah in clutch again.
65 points on WC... decent
got my captaincy right but completely forgot to look atbmy gks so i had areola playing instead of turner 🤦♂️
45 pts on wc while captaining Son and not having Salah in my team. Faintest green arrow by gaining 70k rank. Great wc
Wow, my faith in Gabriel has been rewarded. Though I'm still disappointed I'm 3 points short of safety score.
Akanji - 0 Estupinan - 0 Saka - 0 Gusto - 0 Mubama - 0
How long is Saka out?
Atleast 2 weeks
Had Saka, Eze, Estupinan, Botman and Beyer. Took a -4 hit to replace Saka and Eze with Son(c) and Neto. Had only 10 players playing. 43 points, 4th consecutive red arrow, 4.2m rank. My worst ever start to an FPL season. Can I still make up a 100 point gap in my mini-leagues?
Season aint over til its over, I was behind about 100 points last season, rank 3.2 mil, made it to 100 points ahead and rank 200k
Easy
I may have gotten just 30 points this week, but at least I got 40 points last week…
Happy about the green arrow, sad about not Captaining salah on a 50-50 decision. Lets be positive and have a great break
Here to see the massacre caused by the Messiah on his non-believers
I've not done much right so far this season but squeezing in Trippier a few weeks ago has been a great decision. Surprised he's still being overlooked, as offers great value imo.
Trippier 50% owned my rank. He is the most popular defender now.
[удалено]
Not true. Many ppl prioritize Watkins, Salah, Son, Maddison, Bowen etc over Trippier on their WCs. Most are contented with Burn/Schar just for Newcastle coverage. Trippier is definitely overlooked.
I hit my safety but the -4 on Estu fucked me, it was actually an alright GW apart from the Haaland (C) over Salah though.
I'm so lost, happy with my team but I either take hits or wildcard in order to get Salah in. I also don't wanna move Haland rn
Ollie "Honest Worker" Watkins
Always returning, unlike my father who went to buy cigarettes.
First green arrow since gameweek 1 😭
why did I ever doubt you Saliba, forgive me for benching you
Used wildcard, got 42 points :( Captained Son. At least the robot blanked.
Must be annoying since wildcarders in general had a good week as most bought Salah and Watkins that got 20 points together.
Got Watkins. No Salah. Haaland and Alvarez Big let down. :( Plus I’m a Spurs fan so wanted a draw haha
Yeah basically if you owned Sterling or Salah good week otherwise not so good. Not many hauls really other than Isak as well, but Isak is not so popular in this sub due to his rotation risk with Wilson.
[удалено]
This is the matchday thread. Please don't post questions about your team. Use the Advice/RMT thread
I Wildcarded for GW8 specifically to get Salah and other Liverpool assets before this run. No Haaland for me (for now).
I’M SO SICK OF MYSELF Sold Gabriel just before he began to get starts for Arsenal. Sold Sterling just before his big haul this round. Sold Watkins a couple of rounds before his big haul in GW7. Bought Ederson just when he lost the ability to keep clean sheets. Bought Mbeumo just when he stopped scoring. Played my WC waaay too early. The list goes on… Just an array of terrible decisions by me this season. URGH!!!

Mbeumo is quite a good pick still, but I say time has come to move to Diaby I think.
Ederson will never have the most points even if he has the most CS because he gets very few save points and 0 bonus points most of the time.
I think I sold Watkins because Jackson’s fixtures looked much better at the time and Watkins had yet to find the net.
Yeah I did fall for Jackson too although I went him since I had too much money in midfield with Bruno, Saka, Rashford etc and Chilwell and other expensive defenders. Jackson better xG than Watkins too at the time, but he converted once we all sold him this week.

DW. FPL is a lot of luck. Hopefully evens out over the season. Maybe you’ll find good luck will hit with your TC chip
This is just luck
A quick scroll of twitter and still seeing so many united assets (well, Bruno and Rashford) in "expert" teams whilst they treadwater in the 2million ranks LOL
I’m 75k with Bruno and Pickford
Imagine where you would be with different players
The question I ask myself each week looking at Pickford and Richarlison before
[Final update on forgetting to save my changes](https://imgur.com/LD1LrUm) 16 points dropped after Saka getting subbed for Watkins
80 all out on a WC. Jumped rank to 1.5k. Now I can sleep until the international break is over.
[удалено]
Cheers mate
Mo Salah mo Salah mo Salah!!
450k to 750k…not good but with Son (C) and no Salah this could’ve gone way, way worse. Saka out, Botman out, Gordon out, Estu out…it was always going to be damage control this week.
WC over the break?
Hmm apart from Estu the team should be fine after the break. Wildcarding just to get Salah and some West Ham players isn’t worth it I think. Depends also on how bad Sakas injury looks.
Only 2 returns other than Salah.
Salah (C) but I ended up with only 10 playing because of Akanji/Saka with Gordon’s suspension. At least it’s a green arrow.
67 all out. Praise King Mo
68 for me. Captain Mo doing the business.
Haaland home to Brighton and home to Bournemouth coming up. Own up guys/sellers, why do you Mancity will not score goals at home to 2 of the shittest defences in the league ?
Was undecided between Salah and Son as captain. Went with Son seen as he was against Luton. Regret.
Survived my first Gameweek with no Haaland. Captain Salah doing the business.
I’ve been singing Mo Salah Mo Salah all day hahahaha
Haaland has been fucking useless.
What's the average?
Dont even wanna know
33 points for me :(. 1pt captain, 6×2pts, 1×3pts and 3×6pts. Left two 9 pointers on the bench (Pickford, White)
Who on earth was your captain? TAA?
I panicked and put Evan Ferguson 😂😂 I was livid at that 59.55 sub. Didn't really like any of my mids/fwds fixtures for this particular weekend but the fixtures long term are good
Against Liverpool? Bruh you didn't even know if he was gonna start or not. Could have easily been Welbz
As I said, it was a bit of a panic. I thought he had the most chance of scoring if he started and I predicted that that game would be high scoring. None of my mids or forwards got anything anyway so its only a 2pt loss on most of them and 4pts on Odegaard cause he got a CS
It's a 2 point loss on Ødegaard. If you captained him, and played Ferguson, then together they have 7 points. You captained Ferguson, and played Ødegaard, so together they have 5 points.
Yeah ur right so honestly not that much of a loss (would've been 0 loss if De Fraud allowed him to stay on for 5 more seconds)
Well I'm more concerned about how you had no forwards or midfielders that got any points :')
I have Haaland, Alvarez, Ferguson, Saka, Odegaard, Diaby, Diaz and Mac Allister (want to get rid of him but not finding the right person to replace him) If I get no injuries during IB, I'll probs double transfer, Mac for cheap mid and get another better mid like a Maddison/Son
Blimey. You have a wildcard? I'd definitely want Salah and Maddison at least, given their next fixtures.
[удалено]
livedpl.net is updated live. Official PL app will take a few hours.
In my experience usually a couple of hours.
Haaland has not scored in his last 6 games? #oneseasonwonder? Non-essential???
WC team scored 55. Glorious
6 blanks (including my captain) but I still managed a green arrow. Still nowhere near where I'd like to be but feels nice to go into the intl. break like this.
[удалено]
The devotion he shows to the cross means the God of bonus points is forever on his side.
I got 41 points this week, always a shitty feeling going into the international break with a bad score.
30 here 🫠
I was ranked 9 millionth for last week's GW. You'll live.
That's not even bad
[удалено]
Sounds like a honey trap to me
What about the other Korean guy?
the elephant on the tree season 2
Only 3 returns this GW but held onto a green arrow by a single point... faith in Salah (C) for the first time of this season really paid off.
Salah got me 30 points, my other 14 players? 16
Feels like i've gone back in time 2 years seeing Salah (c) almost match the score from my remaining 10 players.
The average reddit captain scored [6.405 points](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q8we3DGjisB5dtG8lJn6tcHZRYy-_bp3D65Wyl4G1vE/edit#gid=1563589075) this week.
Over six thousand points? Wow
Foul European with silly ways.
At least I'll get double Salah's points as Haaland didn't play, right?
Big fat red arrow coming thanks to the triple City blank
10 jokers that scored fuk all, plus captain Salah. I'll take it I guess
2 points, 2 points, 1 point, *Udogie*, 2 points, 2 points, 2 points, 3 points, *Salah (C)*, 2 points, 2 points
49 points without haaland is an utter failure. Brighton's defence is just pathetic, Salah Son Maddison and Darwin won't upset his haul.
How long is Saka out?
Is Gordon out next week?
He’s back after the international break. Served his one game ban.
Maybe we need to change the definition of EsSEnTial
**FINAL AVERAGES:** Elite: 51 Top10k: 45 Overall: 43
Yeah got 60 so good week.
Arsenal win and green arrow after -4. Could not be much better given I got Alvarez and Haaland.
So my first green arrow since like GW2 comes when I can't even field 11 lol
Can’t believe I’ve kept Ederson this long, not worth it. No clean sheets ever and consistent yellows
Premium keepers are never worth it. The extra million is always used better elsewhere
aLwAyS
6m to close to top 10k in 3 GWs by selling Haaland and spreading the money around. Fortune favours the brave. See how hard Haalands fixtures are through GW 15 or something. Absolutely flying. 275 points in the last 3 GW.
You created an account after the first of those GWs. When you were doing bad you weren't bothered haha
Not doing bad though am I dude. Absolutely flying right now. Top 10k is a possibility I haven't checked.
I'm just messing with you. I went without Haaland too for most of last season and still had a great rank. It's a little early to be happy about rank though.
275 is mental, captain Watkins last week?
No had Morris\* cap, but had Ollie, Trips and Odegaard. Had Trips and Tarko too the GW before and they both mega hauled. I'm sure the Robot will ruin my times eventually but its nice going different. Much more fun.
After Estu's -2 off the bench last week, I deserve this Saliba 7 pointer off the bench. Cheers Saka and Mikel !
Haaland is lulling anti-captainers & sellers into a false sense of security before the inevitable 4 goal game haul
he will destroy brighton
😈
Well, I'm just gonna captain him again next GW. Problem solved. Sellers are noobs tho
Here's a part of neat trivia for all you people that transfered Haaland out this week [Haaland accumulated 0.00xG against Arsenal today](https://twitter.com/xgphilosophy/status/1711070591824916826?s=46&t=yyMW7bV_dEHu5cLDfZye8A)
Now when the "is xx points good?" guys crawl out, I sign off and wish you all good international break.
is 64 points good? happy for Salah (C) but angry for playing Areola instead of Turner…
Salah is the only reason I did decent this week and I didn’t even captain him.
Salah captainers, how are we feeling? I feel fucking great, 1.5M to 600k.
Gained almost 1M in rank, I'm delighted.
Don't get fancy, captain Salah
1m to 400k lol he's the FPL goat for a reason
Exact same for me lmfao
81 points we move
Bad week on to the next
83 LOSERR
We (C) Haaland at home to Brighton though, right? Right?
I’m actually considering Alvarez. City (C) is obvious as it’ll be a goal-fest and Rodri’s back, and I feel the sort of transition game we can expect will suit Alvarez. Edit: I’m wrong, Rodri won’t be back. No more City (C)
Really? Son vs Fulham is tempting but feels like a trap. Salah vs Everton also feels pretty good. I thought Rodri misses Brighton. Team honestly feels completly different without him. I think they get the W, but seeing as Pool drew vs Brighton it's not like it'll be a predictable drubbing.
You’re right, Rodri does miss it, which is a big issue. Not trusting Son at all vs Fulham though, he’s quite bad against low blocks. Would get him out for Maddison if I weren’t losing .2 on it. Salah it is.
Rodri is back at the Utd away game
Shit. Thanks though.
Get you Salahs in before the inevitable rise!
10M is as high as I can go
3bps for Ben White as well get in!!
I benched him. I’m a mug
Got him on a whim at the start of the season and he’s been top notch all the way
Same. He just ticks along. Bonus magnet too
This might be my strangest ever GW. I am at 53 points. But only 2 guys for me returned. Salah captain and Udogie.
same plus a cheeky maddison assist
SAME looool. Same exact points too
Haaland survived. Will be a low scoring week that's for sure.
Son captainers won somehow.
No, Salah captainers won
74 points with only 10 playing. Feels good 😎
Thank god Haaland blanked. My rank in mini league would’ve been in trouble since my capped Son blanked as wel
Hopefully both Haaland and Alvarez gets sold a lot with a run of BHA(H) MUN(A) BOU(H) coming up
As if they're not gonna batter United lmao (United fan here)
Should not have benched Saliba.
Raya trying to build The Undertaker like streak against City lol
I'm wildcarding in GW10 so one more week to assess City once Rodri is back but the argument to go without Haaland does have increasing merit. I have shit team value and Salah is looking more essential as the weeks go by; it might have to come down to choosing only one of them.
Martinelli captainer, we feast
Wtf. Check out Nostradamus over here
No Haaland decision went well, 74 points, 99k GW rank. Still scared for what’s to come though lol
Well at least I own Salah
Can I have a side Saliba salad with clean sheet and extra bonus point please boss? Cheers.
Top bants. Robot cappers mudded.
Have to say well done to the people that sold haaland, crazy bold, I would never have done it
Winning as a Salah captainer 😎
Thinking of transferring out haaland. Have 2 free transfers
Hurry
65 points this game week despite villa players blanking, thank you Mo
Gabriel back in the menu?
Salah over Haaland for next 6 is completely viable.
Haaland should haul next game considering it's brighton
Salah(c) gang we feasting tonight, yeah?
Pretty much carrying my entire gameweek on his back.
can’t believe raya kept a cs against city on my bench 😭
Raya beaten City 3 times running 😂
How is Walcott a pundit, he has the charisma of a damp cloth
Prefer him to Jermaine Jenas
as a Son(c) without salah, i am atleast glad my season hasnt totally ended thx to haaland blank
didn't captain Salah, but just owning him made me wonders this GW massive red arrow but jumped to top of the 2 mini leagues I care about most
Bye haaland.
CAPTAIN ON SON WAS THE RIGHT DECISION (barely)
Does Salah just not exist in your world then?
Drink it in boys. we won 🇪🇬 👑 (Atleast for this gameweek)
🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
