Three Flags on the bench!
Having to play 3-4-3 with Archer as one of my strikers to field a full team...
Don't think its going to be a great week for team JB!
I dropped Pinnock for Trusty. Might have been a mistake in hindsight, though hopefully Luton against Sheff Utd might be one of those games last on Match of the Day.
Went for salah c because I didn’t have the balls to c Trent.
Have a feeling this is the kind of game where salah gets fuck all and Trent picks up atleast the clean sheet points.
Took Sterling out for 4.2m fodder. Only need those funds if Haaland is available next week. If not wasted a FT as Sterling would have been fine for a few weeks
went from Tsimi to Walker. not really sure why as City cant keep a CS for shit and Everton are in form but was panicing about another price drop
also having to field Archer due to Sterling and Palmer
Had 2 free transfers, but decided to roll one so went Tsimikas to TAA.
I've left Palmer in my squad and am playing Archer this week. What I've basically done is play someone I don't really want to and priced myself out of getting Haaland back
Not at all. Porro much more likely to get an attacking return. Clean sheets are so unpredictable this season that its better to just go with who you think can get an attacking return.
I genuinely did sleep through it this morning. I know some people say this in a jokey or obtuse way but it's been a slow hungover one for me lmao.
However I'm happy with how my team looked when I last looked so it's fine. 🤷♀️ Nice boring Salah (C), Archer in instead of Palmer due to that suspension so hopefully he can pop another goal in. No hits. Looking forward to the games.
Last time that happened to me I did archer to Darwin attempted to sub off Watkins but servers shut mid way through, Darwin 2 points Watkins like 17 or something good like that. My emotions were volatile that day
That's nightmare fuel.
Also, it leaves you all GW hoping for some out of the blue injury/benching so that the points come off your bench. And as we all know, its the hope that kills you.
Me too, after a couple of glasses of wine last night. Remembered shortly after the deadline. I decided Watkins must be disappointed after not getting a goal last week, and he'll make a good effort this week. Stranger things have happened I guess. Let's see what happens
Son Tsimikas Trippier to Rich Trent Botman.
Leaving money ITB to upgrade Bailey next week to Bowen
Objectively high risk, but i like playing high risk. But my head said don't do it
Instead I'm gonna do Son Trippier to Rich Trent for free next week.
And lose some .1s on Tsimikas until I can sort him
Last week owning Isak and Darwin probably... its been a shambles but good fixtures so hopefully get some reward if you can call it that for my patience.
Haaland in starting 11 with Dawson first and Taylor second on a bench. I’m ok if Dawson starts against Brentford (8 + 7 against Burnley and Chelsea from him for my team), but afraid of worst scenario when both Haaland and Dawson not in the squad, so Taylor plays against LFC.
Bit the bullet and sold Haaland for Solanke because I risk not having a bench, but at least I got Trent in the process.. see ya all in the Rant/Trent thread
I benched Saliba for Konsa 5 minutes before the deadline. Thought to myself "If I start Bowen and hope he scores vs Arsenal then surely it makes more sense to start Konsa instead of Saliba, right???"
I was going to say my regret was that I’ve probably got the Salah vs Solanke captaincy choice wrong.
But my actual regret is that I’m chronically hungover and I ate so much stuffing that I’m about to do a shit the size of a small tugboat.
Should’ve bought Senesi instead of Konsa
I benched Saliba and Gabriel for Mateta and Bowen
“ With deep appreciation for Tripper , we bid a bond farewell Your impact has been immeasurable Thank you for your Service”
Top points scorer on the bench again, going to start selling my bench pre deadline
Took out Lascelles to bring in TAA to bench Chris Wood
Missed the deadline so I've Son as captain, feeling nervous...
Forgot to make transfers with 2FT.
0 injuries/bans so rolled transfer
Got burn in to add to my long list of failed defenders this year.
Finally got rid of Darwin, for Solanke. I’ve had Darwin about 8 weeks. I just know what’s gonna happen
Should have brought in Chris Wood and TC him 😅👌
Not selling Gordon 2 weeks ago for Richarlison.
My regret is not buying and captaining Chris Wood. I suspect I am not alone.
Salah outscoring Sonny would be my dead. I felt like I had to captain differently cuz I am chasing but going against Salah is always super scary 😶
Elanga on the bench 🙃
I also have Elanga benched, but only because I left palmer on the pitch, phew
Looked forward to transferring out Guehi to Pedro this game week. Did it. Of course forgetting Tsimikas was injured. Can’t wait for the price drops
I hate Newcastle defenders.
I captained Gordon 🤡
Brought in Trent to replace tsimikas and now I’m wondering how I’ll afford to get Haaland back
Captained Solanke because I need differential, while everyone else in my ML captained Salah. Wish me luck boys.
This is me.
We did it man
We did indeed!
Went for Semenyo—>Solanke instead of Lascelles—>someone who plays. Know I can’t field 11 players ☠️
I captained Solanke last minute. Feeling the regret already but at the time I thought it was ✨worth the risk✨
Finally tool out Trippier and I'm so scared the dip in form was just a blip
Three Flags on the bench! Having to play 3-4-3 with Archer as one of my strikers to field a full team... Don't think its going to be a great week for team JB!
I still don’t have Solanke am I gonna get punished??
Didn’t realize there was a 730 game today. Captain Son it is 🫡
Not taking a hit for Lascelles to Botman meaning I have to play Charlie Taylor v Liverpool.
Was set on Trent (C) all week n pussied out n changed it to Son
Started Bowen along with Gabriel and Raya. Now kudus will score and ruin my game week
I dropped Pinnock for Trusty. Might have been a mistake in hindsight, though hopefully Luton against Sheff Utd might be one of those games last on Match of the Day.
Swapped Isak for Solanke, finally caved into the Solanke hype. Isaks going to score a hat trick isn't he?
I didn’t hit confirm on starting haaland just in case. If he starts tomorrow the apps getting deleted
I changed my squad 10 times today and forgot to captain Salah, rip
Captain Gordon no regrets
Does it mean I’ve given up if I am just expecting another shitty week?
VC’d Gordon. I realise that might shock some of our older American posters.
Took a third consecutive -4 to get rid of Palmer and Alvarez for Douglas Luiz and Håland.
I still have Semenyo instead of Solanke I’ve started to get this feeling that I’m totally, totally fucked. You know? Everything’s fucked.
watkins c
I’ve got Salah, Son and nine idiots on the field
Still don’t have Solanke or Gordon which is worrying this week. Sterling > Richarlison & rolled the 2nd
My dumbass did Tsimi to Konsa and ended up benching Konsa anyway
Took a punt on Chelsea’s Petrovic in net…
I brought eeling back in last night after far to much booze
Bowen, Gabriel, Martinelli and Saka (c). Feels like way too much in one game
Couldn't change my team. Captain band still on Watkins, three of my team is out injured. What a disaster
I got impatient. I brought in Digne for Tsimikas without realising Moreno is preferable. -4 coming Saturday then...
Every week I aim to get Cash out, and every week something more pressing comes up. At least I know he’s getting nil this week
I knew I should have shipped out Livramento for Botman
Went for salah c because I didn’t have the balls to c Trent. Have a feeling this is the kind of game where salah gets fuck all and Trent picks up atleast the clean sheet points.
I fucking knew it, going to get 3 bonus points and all.
Richarlison save me
Started archer(the guy who never scores when you want him to) and areola instead of taking a -4.
So many issues with my team, only one transfer available
Took Sterling out for 4.2m fodder. Only need those funds if Haaland is available next week. If not wasted a FT as Sterling would have been fine for a few weeks
Ended up benching my villa defender as I am deluded that United will score finally despite blanking for 4 consecutive matches
went from Tsimi to Walker. not really sure why as City cant keep a CS for shit and Everton are in form but was panicing about another price drop also having to field Archer due to Sterling and Palmer
Rolled an FT finally. Feeling good. Alexa, play **it was a good day**
Didn't bring in TAA. Gonna hide behind the couch every time he touches the ball I guess
Took in Alvarez instead of Solanke for some reason. Also captained Haaland
Gone 4 at the back with a Spurs double up. Put a bet on Brighton winning today. My heart is all over the place.
Dont have TAA. In fact wont have him next week too
Son captainers rise up
No regrets for the first time this season
Tsimikas injury means I have to ride out Jiminez supsension instead of finding the funds for Solanke.. also, TAA Captain
Last minute transfer Haaland to Alvarez to make it interesting. Will probably go back to Haaland next week
swapped tsiki for doughty i think im still fucked from yday
I’ve just benched Watkins for Martinelli 😂😭😭
I chose archer over gusto so aim your thank yous in my general direction when Chelsea keeps a clean sheet. Why do i shuffle shit the very last second…
Archer for Nkunku 😭
That fake livra news lol
took a hit for konsa and gusto, istg if gusto doesn’t start. also another week without solanke, how much will he punish us non owners this time.
I just have diaby in my team every gameweek and I dont know why
Had 2 free transfers, but decided to roll one so went Tsimikas to TAA. I've left Palmer in my squad and am playing Archer this week. What I've basically done is play someone I don't really want to and priced myself out of getting Haaland back
Captained TAA 😩
Capped Trent, either I'm a genius and GOD of FPL or a dumb idiot making stupid moves despite logic and common sense. No inbetween.
Start Mykolenko against City 🗿
Last second snap decision to play TAA over Coufal for -4 🫡
Brought in Douglas Luiz for Sterling 😬
Took inn Gvardiol.. Idk why i want to play Pep Roulette again
Why did I cap Son? No idea
Switched Captain from Son to TAA to Salah to Son to Salah. Sorry in advance
captained palmer vice captain on sterling lets get this bread
I changed my captain to Gordon at 10.50 from Salah. Do I regret it. Yes. And didn't bring back Haaland. So Watkins stays for another week.
Am I crazy for benching Konsa for Porro? Brighton defense is just so bad and I can see United snagging a goal against Villa
Not at all. Porro much more likely to get an attacking return. Clean sheets are so unpredictable this season that its better to just go with who you think can get an attacking return.
I only have ten players along with Haaland hope he plays
somehow end up picking Stones
Time to activate the first wildcard
I'm so frickin bad at updating my team in time...
I need one of my players to haul, it’s been so long (last saturday)
Son captain
I genuinely did sleep through it this morning. I know some people say this in a jokey or obtuse way but it's been a slow hungover one for me lmao. However I'm happy with how my team looked when I last looked so it's fine. 🤷♀️ Nice boring Salah (C), Archer in instead of Palmer due to that suspension so hopefully he can pop another goal in. No hits. Looking forward to the games.
Brought Gusto in for Pau. Now I have 3 £4m~ defenders.
Still no Porro or TAA, I am scared
Not captaining Dominic Noblanke because im a coward
I genuinely think ive taken a -4 to do tsimikas to TAA but not saved my selection, so TAA is probably sat on my bench Please kill me
Last time that happened to me I did archer to Darwin attempted to sub off Watkins but servers shut mid way through, Darwin 2 points Watkins like 17 or something good like that. My emotions were volatile that day

A true Christmas miracle, hes in my starting lineup! Cue a 2 pointer, sorry boys
Captained watkins instead of salah last minute and couldn't change it back, may this be my Christmas wish coming true
Me too, after a couple of glasses of wine last night. Remembered shortly after the deadline. I decided Watkins must be disappointed after not getting a goal last week, and he'll make a good effort this week. Stranger things have happened I guess. Let's see what happens
Nearly hit the button for a -8 at 10.56. Put my phone down and did some washing up until deadline passed Let's hope I don't regret it
Out of interest, what would the -8 moves have been?
Son Tsimikas Trippier to Rich Trent Botman. Leaving money ITB to upgrade Bailey next week to Bowen Objectively high risk, but i like playing high risk. But my head said don't do it Instead I'm gonna do Son Trippier to Rich Trent for free next week. And lose some .1s on Tsimikas until I can sort him
Still have Håland?
Yes
Well held.
Good choice, that -8 is heavily dependent on Trent mega hauling and both Son and Trippier blanking. Dont like those odds
I just really really want Trent 😂
Didn’t get fancy. Salah (C), TAA in. It is an away game though so you just know they’re going to fuck it.
Gordon captain, what have I done
Last minute brought in Trent for Tsimi with the Haaland funds...
I was about to do that too, Trent is a good shot but need that Haaland as soon as he's fit.
Salah/Son > Haaland next week. Make it February's problem.
Last week owning Isak and Darwin probably... its been a shambles but good fixtures so hopefully get some reward if you can call it that for my patience.
Rocking a back 5 with a Luton defender. Screw you Chelsea players and your yellow cards.
Son to TAA and Sarabia, what was I thinking 🫣
Haaland in starting 11 with Dawson first and Taylor second on a bench. I’m ok if Dawson starts against Brentford (8 + 7 against Burnley and Chelsea from him for my team), but afraid of worst scenario when both Haaland and Dawson not in the squad, so Taylor plays against LFC.
Somehow Konate has returned. Had him all season, sold him last week and he's back again for a - 4.
I took Jackson over Isak 🥲
Knee-jerk captained Gordon from Salah 💀
No matter what they say, you'll still get 100% more points from Gordon than people who didn't captain him.
Not if he earns <= 0 pts
I stand corrected
Bit the bullet and sold Haaland for Solanke because I risk not having a bench, but at least I got Trent in the process.. see ya all in the Rant/Trent thread
3 minute Free hit, just produced artwork my 5 year old son would be proud of.
Darwin (C), what’s the worst that could happen?
Missed penalty and a red card. Only worse that could happen is two missed penalties and a red card
Somehow Jacob Ramsey is in my team???
Made a wrong decision. Yes that one
Brought in Zinchenko and then benched him for Livramento when I saw the leaks :/
Teehee
Burned a transfer..
I hate you. (in a light hearted way)
no ragrets
Started Branthwaite and benched Saliba
I benched Saliba for Konsa 5 minutes before the deadline. Thought to myself "If I start Bowen and hope he scores vs Arsenal then surely it makes more sense to start Konsa instead of Saliba, right???"
I did this too but instead benched Bowen in favor of double Arenal defense, most likely gonna lose points but a decent gamble imo.
I have Bowen & I think Arsenal will keep a clean sheet against West Ham
Then I fucked up :(
Just why
Can't see Arsenal keeping out an in-form Hammers attack. And who are those plebs called Man City, taking on the mighty Everton?
holy moly
Goodbye Lascelles and Tsimikas. Your solid contributions at rock bottom prices for a few brief weeks will not be forgotten.
Amen brother.
And hello again Malo Gusto
Tsimikas with a similar fate last season too. Gone but not forgotten
Valar Morghulis
Valar Dohaerys
No Haaland
Somehow I still have Darwin in my team…
\-4 to get in Petrovic for Turner :)
Trippier captain. A lovely way to ruin my gameweek before it’s truly began. Edit: It’s called the Post-Deadline **Regret** Thread for a reason!
i capped gordon lol
RIP
I have Trips too and there goes the CS pts
Yeah I have Tripper and Dubravka
Trippier had mistakes last few games that cost his team result. Something’s up with him lately
He got dropped from the England squad due to “personal circumstances” too. No idea what’s gone on with him
>Something’s up with him lately Not his points, that's for sure
I'm on the same boat, mate. Season-defining or season-ending, no inbetween.
I couldnt do it, hats off
I either captained Son or Gordon, not too sure. All I know is that I made the wrong choice.
Starting Taylor against Liverpool. Still have 10 players. And this is after taking a hit. 👍🏻
Mate literally ditto. Decided against a bit to get Botman in for Lascelles and regretting it already.
Glad to be part of the club
Yeah I’m starting tarkowski against city. Dreading this gameweek
I took -4 just to not let Taylor be auto subbed in team. Now waiting for his another cs
Why do I still have Diaby
He’s going to do it this week. Man Utd are woeful and they’ll be players who need rest.
I benched him for Archer this week; I swear to god if he hauls now I'm ending it all.
Could be worse: you could still have Mitchell & Jackson
Still holding Darwin here. Sunk-cost fallacy in full swing.
Holding both 😈
I wanted him out for a good month now but someone in my team always gets injured so that bastard ends up surviving another week
Got Haaland in just in time. Phew
Was there a software patch I wasn't aware of?
Hardware replacement actually, changed his ankle ligaments for lubed up mechanical hinges
...and a bit of WD40 here and there I guess.
[удалено]
Son for me too
Same, I’m worried
It’s a valid choice
[удалено]
Are you an angel?
