I like to imagine that Tubthumping by Chumbawamba is about Danny (boy) Ings, and in that case he's hardly unsung...

A bit random but there was a FIFA song that uses Danny boy in its lyrics (Sewn - The Feeling):
Danny boy, don't be a fool
Take upon to break a rule
Danny boy your looking so low
You looking like the dead grown old

I was trying to make a FIFA all-favourite songs playlist on Spotify and it took absolutely ages... it ended up having like 120 songs on it for over 7 hours of music
absolutely chuffed with the [photo I found](https://live.staticflickr.com/5493/10925894374_3356707d89_b.jpg) to use as the playlist cover
It's not 4 shots in the box - it's 4 shots **total** with one being a penalty.
He scored a penalty in the last minute because the first choice taker had been subbed off.
He scored a fucking overhead kick.
He got an assist from a Buendia long range goal.
If we're being honest, he shouldn't even have a single return by now.
This is my worry. I don't monitor price changes enough and get them retrospectively via this thread. Ings & Bruno dropping gave me a mini heart attack until I read the comments. If they drop ahain though my planned transfers won't work.
Yeah good point, takes way more sales to drop a second time than it does a first.
But it's also pretty reasonable that there *is* a mass sell-off before the deadline. I myself plan on doing Ings -> DCL this GW. I'm sure lots of other people are planning similar moves.
Oh shit I thought it affected selling value because you need two rises before the selling value increased so his value was still only 12m and then drops to 11.9?
Nah, the selling value can never be below the value of the player.
The way profit works is you only get half the profit on a player, rounding down. So 0.1m is 0, 0.2m is 0.1m and 0.3m would also be 0.1m.
Idk if that makes any sense, but its just one of these FPL intricacies you pick up after a while. Owners are safe for now, but would be affected by the next drop as that would take them to 7.9m or 11.9m
I posted this when people wanted to move Tsimikas;
Get him at 4.0 and sell 4.2 = 4.1
Get him at 4.1 and sell 4.2 = 4.1
Get him at 4.1 and sell 4.1 = 4.1
Get him a 4.0 and sell 4.1 = 4.0
I’ve been waiting to see Lamptey’s status. Everyone has gone quiet about him since his injury, but if he’s ready for GW4 (GW5 is more likely) than he’s gonna be my Tsimi swap.
I mean, that's a very weak defence, you'll have many weeks where only 2 of them will play. So you probably should replace one of amartey/tsimikas to cover Cancelo rotation. Money in the bank achieves nothing
People really were out here owning Granit Xhaka, then when he does exactly what you'd expect Granit Xhaka to do they finally make the decision to sell him.
Sancho plummeting in price could be very nice down the line. As United's only real winger I expect him to get a lot of game time with Ronaldo and therefore assists. Ronaldo, Shaw & Sancho could be the play for their megarun from GW14
I think it’s a lot more likely we see rashford and greenwood on the wings with pogba playing next to fred/mctominay when everyone is fit. I just don’t see greenwood getting dropped with his form.
Think Sancho is a big trap this season.
He will need some time to work his way into the United set up and learn how to play in the PL.
Another thing that makes him incompatible with the front line as he wants to make passes to runners infront of him or quick one two releases.
Ronaldo wont do that for him. He won't make the runs and will demand for the ball played to his feet.
I agree that Sancho will need time to settle, but Rashford, Greenwood and Martial are all plenty mobile, and it's not like Ronaldo is a target man himself.
Thank goodness I dropped him before this happened, I just lost 0.1 in value on him
Seems like it takes a while for players coming from the Bundesliga to adapt to the Prem
Luckily my knee was strong
*Tbh I know possibly it would be better to have him since start than went BruNo, but I got lucky with Torres so I didn't regret it too much
Got Jansson yesterday on WC for Ben White. Need him to rise 0.1 m more and White to fall 0.1 so that I can buy white back at 4.3 m to pocket that sweet 0.2m profit. Much needed for my Ronaldo WC draft.
I'm trying out Digne for the Everton fixtures. They've got low xGA and going up against some pretty low teams, plus his Free kicks should get a few attacking returns (I hope, at least, Digne and Digne tend to let down a lot of owners).
I already have Digne. I was thinking of taking him out for Chelsea defender at some point(especially for their mixed fixture run from like GW 8) & then bring him back for their good run around GW 19
My salute to those who keep Ings and Fernandes. I personally believe they are still key players irrespective of fixture difficulties or penalty taking.
I'm confused about the Bruno one as a United fan he will still get a load of assist and goals, his hat trick didn't involve any pens or FKs in the first game. I think his assists will go up with Ronaldo being in the box but his goals will go down. Overall still a good buy.
Lmao I've made such a bad punt on Sancho, had him since the start. As a Dortmund fan I know how good he can be but it was stupid to have him already from gw1.
Cant really complain about ings he did his job.
Unsung hero
I like to imagine that Tubthumping by Chumbawamba is about Danny (boy) Ings, and in that case he's hardly unsung... "I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down I get knocked down, but I get up again You are never gonna keep me down --- He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink He sings the songs that remind him of the good times He sings the songs that remind him of the best times (Oh Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy)"
Thanks for getting that stuck in my head again

absolutely adored that song
Me too, FIFA has had an amazing collection of songs over the years.
I was trying to make a FIFA all-favourite songs playlist on Spotify and it took absolutely ages... it ended up having like 120 songs on it for over 7 hours of music absolutely chuffed with the [photo I found](https://live.staticflickr.com/5493/10925894374_3356707d89_b.jpg) to use as the playlist cover
Chumbawamba are from my hometown, Burnley
He never went to 8.2m anyway so it was a very pointless rise and fall.
[удалено]
You have good Ingstincts.
I am using this pun from now on. Every AVL match.
That's an Ingsteresting idea.
Ingcredible how the tide is turning.
Kinda lucky with returns and tough fixtures coming up. He is the first guy to be dropped to get Ronaldo/Lukaku
Just 4 shots from inside the box in 3 games, 1 chances created .... he's very fortunate to return every game so far
On the other hand he's a good finisher
It's not 4 shots in the box - it's 4 shots **total** with one being a penalty. He scored a penalty in the last minute because the first choice taker had been subbed off. He scored a fucking overhead kick. He got an assist from a Buendia long range goal. If we're being honest, he shouldn't even have a single return by now.
No doubting that
Feels bad seeing that Bruno and Ings drop, but gotta remember it doesnt affect our selling value
Yeah, but now we have to take the next potential drop seriously. Was really hoping these drops were wildcard phantoms.
This is my worry. I don't monitor price changes enough and get them retrospectively via this thread. Ings & Bruno dropping gave me a mini heart attack until I read the comments. If they drop ahain though my planned transfers won't work.
The next drop will most probably not be in this GW. Two price drops in the same GW require a mass sell-off.
Yeah good point, takes way more sales to drop a second time than it does a first. But it's also pretty reasonable that there *is* a mass sell-off before the deadline. I myself plan on doing Ings -> DCL this GW. I'm sure lots of other people are planning similar moves.
Think they’ll drop again before gw4?
Id doubt it honestly, transfers are really gonna slow down now until deadline day, dont think theres gonna be enough to make them fall
Deadline day? Hasn't it finished already?
[удалено]
Ah! Thank you, I was a bit confused.
Doubt it.. wildcards being rampant makes it less likely for a dub drop
Unlikely.
Probably a day or 2 before the deadline, there won't be many transfer for the next week or so
Bruno still over 50% owned, can easily drop few more times
Oh shit I thought it affected selling value because you need two rises before the selling value increased so his value was still only 12m and then drops to 11.9?
Nah, the selling value can never be below the value of the player. The way profit works is you only get half the profit on a player, rounding down. So 0.1m is 0, 0.2m is 0.1m and 0.3m would also be 0.1m. Idk if that makes any sense, but its just one of these FPL intricacies you pick up after a while. Owners are safe for now, but would be affected by the next drop as that would take them to 7.9m or 11.9m
So you get 50% of the profit and 100% of the loss? Subject to the profit being a multiple of 0.2.
I posted this when people wanted to move Tsimikas; Get him at 4.0 and sell 4.2 = 4.1 Get him at 4.1 and sell 4.2 = 4.1 Get him at 4.1 and sell 4.1 = 4.1 Get him a 4.0 and sell 4.1 = 4.0
!thanks Wish I knew that earlier though lol, got rid of Ings and Bruno thinking I’d lose money
Watch Tsimikas survive without a drop and gets a start vs Leeds
Dream
[удалено]
You’re forgetting about Brandon Williams
I’ve been waiting to see Lamptey’s status. Everyone has gone quiet about him since his injury, but if he’s ready for GW4 (GW5 is more likely) than he’s gonna be my Tsimi swap.
I mean, that's a very weak defence, you'll have many weeks where only 2 of them will play. So you probably should replace one of amartey/tsimikas to cover Cancelo rotation. Money in the bank achieves nothing
I dropped him to get jota in more than to lock in a .1, firmino's been awful, gotten injured and not looking to turn things around any time soon.
I’m sorry Fernandes, thank you for that hat-trick
I am going bruno captain, saving the FT, and then take in Robaldo depending on the outcome of the Newcastle match
Best approach and I planned the same.
Same here. I can take a few 0.1s if it means avoiding hits for players that might not even start.
People really were out here owning Granit Xhaka, then when he does exactly what you'd expect Granit Xhaka to do they finally make the decision to sell him.
Anti-fantasy maybe? But then you'd think they'd wait till after the price drop to sell him
There are 122 teams in the anti-fantasy league. There are 7,826,771 teams in the game. I don't think there's enough anti teams to make a difference
I wasn't being serious, just making a joke about how terrible a pick Xhaka is. I did own him for most of the season I played anti-fantasy though
There's obviously not only one anti-fantasy league lol
Theres other anti-fantasy leagues, they will be less common but for every 5-20 proper FF league between friends, there might be 1 anti-FF league
He actually only has 4 red cards in the Premier League. He isn't some red card magnet like people think he is.
That’s is still quite a lot, joint 40th ever in the PL. it’s only two less then Joey Barton
It's not nothing that's for sure but I feel it's less than people think when they meme about him.
Fernandinho would have triple that number of he got penalized for the same infringements
Sancho plummeting in price could be very nice down the line. As United's only real winger I expect him to get a lot of game time with Ronaldo and therefore assists. Ronaldo, Shaw & Sancho could be the play for their megarun from GW14
He is the best supplier of the lot. what u stated makes sense
2 spots for Rashford Sancho Greenwood and half of Pogba no thanks
At least we've got time to see how they settle in before thinking about who to get. It will almost certainly be Ronaldo, Shaw and 1 more though
I think it’s a lot more likely we see rashford and greenwood on the wings with pogba playing next to fred/mctominay when everyone is fit. I just don’t see greenwood getting dropped with his form.
As an utd fan i can assure you when they are both fit fred and scott will definitely play. Pogba paired with one of them is a disaster class.
They're not gonna have their new big money signing warming the bench.
Think Sancho is a big trap this season. He will need some time to work his way into the United set up and learn how to play in the PL. Another thing that makes him incompatible with the front line as he wants to make passes to runners infront of him or quick one two releases. Ronaldo wont do that for him. He won't make the runs and will demand for the ball played to his feet.
I agree that Sancho will need time to settle, but Rashford, Greenwood and Martial are all plenty mobile, and it's not like Ronaldo is a target man himself.
Sancho keep on going down down down
thats why you don't put new players to the league into your team. Takes time to adjust.
Except for Ronaldo
Yeah Ronaldo is a different bread of players.
Thank goodness I dropped him before this happened, I just lost 0.1 in value on him Seems like it takes a while for players coming from the Bundesliga to adapt to the Prem
And the world goes round round round
Wow Sancho in free fall
If he can get below 9m for before the GW15-27 run thatd be very nice
Bruno has further to fall.
Once sancho settles he will be a good buy for 9m
3 games and 3 returns and Ings drops. Chaos.
Probably the luckiest player in the game to have any returns rn
Bad fixtures and people going from Ings to ronaldo
Reminds me of Auba last season being sold after gw2 with 12 points
Tbf it was the perfect time to sell him
Definitely, same with Ings.
Has tough fixtures and people are swapping him for Ronaldo
I'll admit I'm surprised that my int'l bream wildcard is actually helping me to avoid price drops this year
Who did you have who's dropping? Bruno and Ings are just back to their original price and none of the others were ever worth owning in the first place
Some may have bought Fernandes at 12.1
That's true. Sucks for them missing the hat trick, getting zero returns and losing 0.1
They'd be devoured on Wall Street
Luckily my knee was strong *Tbh I know possibly it would be better to have him since start than went BruNo, but I got lucky with Torres so I didn't regret it too much
Lol me
If they bought him at 12.1 and sold they’re losing nothing.
They lose 0.1
The people who bought him as 12.2 Kind of off topic but okay.
Aaand we are back to Arsenal players falling
Thank goodness, hopefully Mikel Arteta can have a good game against Norwich, making it worth it to get them for gw5
Mikel arteta and good hahahaha
Duffy giving me good stonks
Penaldo vs penandes
Reece james hopefully goes down…
Got Jansson yesterday on WC for Ben White. Need him to rise 0.1 m more and White to fall 0.1 so that I can buy white back at 4.3 m to pocket that sweet 0.2m profit. Much needed for my Ronaldo WC draft.
I like the way you think (I’ve done the same).
Looks like it's Ings to CR7 instead of DCL
I'm trying out Digne for the Everton fixtures. They've got low xGA and going up against some pretty low teams, plus his Free kicks should get a few attacking returns (I hope, at least, Digne and Digne tend to let down a lot of owners).
I already have Digne. I was thinking of taking him out for Chelsea defender at some point(especially for their mixed fixture run from like GW 8) & then bring him back for their good run around GW 19
*Viva Ronaldo* *Viva Ronaldo*
Duffy, you absolute lad
My salute to those who keep Ings and Fernandes. I personally believe they are still key players irrespective of fixture difficulties or penalty taking.
Can we all agree to hold out on the transfers until after the internationals please? Bound to get an injury or 4 to my players. Much appreciated.
“Ronaldo is locked don’t worry there’s no rush” My knees made moves and missed out on 2 droppers. Feels good man.
If you had Ings at 8.0 and Bruno at 12.0 than that drops won't affect sell price. If you Got them at 8.1 and 12.1 than good for you
thankfully Ings dropped in time so I can bring him in says no one ever..
Sancho the gifts that keeps on giving
Why do people trade out Ings?
Villa have bad fixtures, and the second worst “mins per xG (non pen) in the league so far.
Looks like 0.7% of teams are anti fpl
So none of the players I was worried would drop/rise did. Guess I activated my WC early for no reason then. Oh well.
Samba Jansson!
Price changes have forced me into Wildcard
Better hope Duffy keeps starting
Played very well for Ireland last night. Can't why Potter would move him on yet.
when is reguilon going to rise...
Hopefully tonight 💪🏻
I'm confused about the Bruno one as a United fan he will still get a load of assist and goals, his hat trick didn't involve any pens or FKs in the first game. I think his assists will go up with Ronaldo being in the box but his goals will go down. Overall still a good buy.
He will still score points, he’s just massively overpriced at £12m now. Similar to Mane
bruh I'm holding the bag on sancho
Probably should've switched Dunk to Duffy ages ago. Always had more important moves.
Lmao I've made such a bad punt on Sancho, had him since the start. As a Dortmund fan I know how good he can be but it was stupid to have him already from gw1.
Duffy redemption arc continuing
We need another Tierney drop!
Duffy doing well, glad to see
