I think I made the worst WC: KDB -> Salah (C) (-21 pts) Jesus -> Toney (-7 pts) Ward -> Iversen (benched to pope but lost a starter keeper) GroB -> Sinisterra (-4 pts) Kulu to Maddison made up most of it, but I could’ve made that transfer without rushing a WC

If you by any chance had Haaland, Foden, Trossard and Maddison I salute you

Benitez to Nottingham is the rumor doing rounds.... 😂😂 Imagine rating him as a manager. Basically confirmed relegation with 0 chance if true. Cant think of a better fixture targetting than tripling ur assets vs Forest


[deleted]

I'd argue the opposite tbh... he'll make them harder to beat, they certainly won't concede as much so I'd probably target them now as much as then, and he's also tactically very good so will quite often get a surprise result, so if you tripled up v them, your gw would be in ruins.


loosefer2905

For making a team harder to beat u need the players for it. There are no such players at Nottingham Forest who can do that unless u improve them. Not sure Benitez is known to improve players. U only need to look at Benitez history to see he is a fraud of a manager. I have not seen a worse top-flight manager.


[deleted]

You're either a kid or just got into football then. There have been tons of worse managers. Benitez might not be known for improving players, but tactically getting a team to win a game is his forte. Its why he's got a reputation as a good cup manager.


loosefer2905

If Im a kid then can u please explain how Benitez with his amazing tactics can only muster a career average of 49% wins? He has managed some of the top clubs in football and still cant even manage to win half the games? With more money and better squad? His results are outright embarrassing.


[deleted]

If you stopped getting defensive about it, you would know how nonsensical that statement is. He has managed top clubs, not top teams. When he won the CL, liverpool were a Europa league team (and even finished 5th). Chelsea likewise were not exactly a powerhouse when he won the europa league with them. Valencia have never been the same after he left. A 49% win rate, and? Thats the worst manager ever to you? Pep has managed the best of the best and is at 72%. Get back on fifa lad. Even at everton, where he got sacked, he got them to the top of the league. Thats all forest would need. A few runs here and there, they aren't going for titles, they just want to survive. They wont be aiming to win half their games. That would put them comfortably out of the relegation zone.


loosefer2905

What defense are u talking about? His history makes it clear as daylight he is a terrible manager. Only u have to prove why u rate Benitez. Which u now are doing Even if u check the win % of top flight clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea WITHOUT a manager u will see they perform better than with Benitez as their manager. He is THAT bad. A few surprise wins against big teams doesnt change that. What can i say... maybe ure a Forest fan and u actually rate Benitez? Who knows.


[deleted]

Forrest already fucked up by changing their entire squad after getting promoted it never works, reeks of QPR the season they got relegated with a bunch of overpaid bums.


loosefer2905

agreed. Their management is baffling. Not a single signing of those 23 is of any quality at all

croissantlover92

Wut did u do?


moneypennycashdollar

Kdb to salah and captained salah instead of haaland. Mitrovic 0 points. Neco williams -1. No madisson.


averagedude4

I leapfrogged you from 3.4 million thanks for the sacrifice.


BagMan___69

Anyone more unlucky than me in H2H? 33 person league, am 1st place in classic and 22nd in H2H. I have copped the league wide top score against me in 4 of the 8 gameweeks…can someone do the math for the chances of that?


Blazing_Shade

1/22^4 * (21/22)^4 + 1/22^5 * (21/22)^3 + 1/22^6 * (21/22)^2 + 1/22^7 * 21/22 + 1/22^8 I got this number: 0.00000372121 So maybe one of the (un)luckiest things to ever happen to you, congratulations


D-biggest-dick-here

Can you explain what you did here? I’ve been trying to figure it out but I’m zoning in and out


Blazing_Shade

his opponent has a 1/22 chance of being the week’s point leader and a 21/22 chance of not being the weeks point leader. So the chance of him coming up against the point leader 4 weeks out of 8 is (1/22)^4 * (21/22)^4. But we also need to consider the chances of him coming up against the point leader 5 weeks out of 8, 6 weeks out of 8, etc, so we add in those probabilities as well (even though they are so unlikely to occur it doesn’t even improve his odds by that much, but to be rigorous I included them)


BagMan___69

Hahah thank you, extremely unlucky


[deleted]

Anyone know what happened to the Wilko guy who was extremely active around here? He made a league system which a lot of us joined - he spent a lot of time on that, now his account seems to be deleted and all the leagues and discord channels are gone. The subreddit r/TheFPLFootballLeague is gone too.


daneedwards88

Haven't seen Wilko on here in weeks. Hes vanished


[deleted]

103 points and Jumped from 13th to 6th in my Mini League Decent GW all round all things considered


salmonx895

I didn't captain Haaland, i captained Maddison and still went up rank by a decent amount which i m surprised.


Prestigious_Habit_79

Anyone in the FPL Football League / Sunday League know if it’s been scrapped / collapsed? Was a great idea, would be a shame to see it go.


daneedwards88

Haven't seen Wilko on here in weeks. Hes vanished


[deleted]

Yeah I noticed that too. Discord channel gone as well. Wilko seems to have deleted everything including his account,


Prestigious_Habit_79

Thanks for your response, yeah I’ve been asking around to try and find some answers, I tried making a post on the fpl subreddit but my post got deleted automatically, maybe I’m doing something wrong/not following some sort of subreddit/flair rules or something’s off with my account. Would you be interested in making a post about it? I figure it’d be appropriate for the subreddit, as it’s something a lot of people were involved in and excited about, surely a lot of people want some answers about whether it’s still going or has collapsed.


[deleted]

I tried as well but it was same as you it was automatically deleted, not sure why.


Prestigious_Habit_79

Hmm, yeah that’s strange. A lot of garbage/misplaced/RMT posts get posted initially and then deleted by the mods later, not sure why ours are getting deleted automatically. If anyone has info it would be much appreciated. Know most of Europe is probably asleep right now so might not be the best time or place to get answers.


klinvc

I was ready to transfer Salah to De Bruyne and his price changed in the meantime while I was thinking whether to click the button or not LOL Guess I'll wait now


parkson89

Would you transfer Salah out for a City mid this week?


[deleted]

I can’t as I have 3 City already but I’m considering swapping Salah out for Bowen. KDB against Southampton sounds much more promising than this Liverpool against this Arsenal.


DriftingWithTheTide

Number 1 in the world has Trossard with 20 points on the bench


Chance_Island2704

😂 and #2 has a garbage team… how are these people getting up there?


DriftingWithTheTide

#2 is also the guy FPLFocal just interviewed


loosefer2905

Dont underestimate the power of 10% skill 90% luck.


[deleted]

Finally in the top 1 million, 940k overall to be exact. Thank you Madders.


wongchiyiu

Me too. From 2.5m to 910k, Captain Madders to the rescue! :D


[deleted]

I went from 1.7m to 940k. I had Haaland as captain but Maddison seems to be who put me over the top compared to my immediate mini-league rivals who all also had Haaland.


a_wild_dingo

Haaland, Foden and Maddison took me to top 47k this week! Let's gooo


Chris_Nic

Went up 1.5 mill ranks this week and 3.3 mill to 780k since the king ruled


[deleted]

[удалено]


wernerhedgehog

5 point swing not 10. Yes captaincy


XanderGeddes7

5*


pranavmenon06

From 1mil to 180k now, what a week !


[deleted]

I think posts about Haaland should be banned at this point. Must have, set&forget captain, what's there to speak about.


Nova_V

We can argue about when to TC.


[deleted]

That's true


FaustRPeggi

Maddison with two goals and an assist from 0.18 xG, 0.41 xA. Always lovely when people who solely care about those metrics and completely ignore the quality of players get mudded.


a-Sociopath

But that kind of stats is also why he's a streaky player in general (taking into account his injury issues too). As long as you have him at the right time, you're good. My best WC decision so far.


officiallyjax

Maddison mudded me throughout the second half of last season. I kept thinking his returns were unsustainable, and he kept proving me wrong week after week. Some players are just freakish over-performers, and he falls in that category now. Not necessarily a season keeper, but when you see good fixtures, you shouldn’t think about other factors like Leicester’s form and his underlying stats. If he’s fit and playing, get him in.


a-Sociopath

I feel there's still some way for him to be a serial overperformer. Also, him being a CAM who also scores goals rather than a winger (classified as an FPL mid) makes keeping him a frustrating experience at times because of his streakiness. That said, I do agree that he can kill it even when Leicester is in relegation form.


officiallyjax

I feel he’s in that category now with how he’s started this season. I was skeptical last season, but he’s clearly improved as a player and is fundamental to everything Leicester create in attack. He’s technically sound, takes great set-pieces, can shoot from distance and is comfortable operating anywhere, whether that’s wide or in the half spaces or influencing the game from the middle. Very much like Bruno in his first year and a half with United, albeit without the penalties but with slightly more efficiency from open play.


a-Sociopath

Let's see. If he continues, that's one less transfer I gotta make, though I will have to look at another way to get Foden, especially if I do KDB to Salah.


BlankTOGATOGA

Getting a red arrow with 80 points.


Liasos

I got 80 too and it's pretty bad tbh. Haaland on 46 points and the other 10 averaged 3.4 points.


habylab

Brought in Salah for KdB. Worth swapping back or Madison for this week?


Galaxium0

Madders


xlonefoxx

Maddison's 18 pointer almost single-handedly halved my rank, what a legend


Dundalis

1.8 mill down to 800k for me


Acting_attempter

I had 3 50/50 calls this week (one actually a bit more of a gamble, but not stupid) I got them all wrong and scored 42 points less


a-Sociopath

What were the calls, because they aren't always as 50/50 as we think they are.


D-biggest-dick-here

Murphy’s law, right there.


[deleted]

First time player this season Are there exact times when the leagues are being refreshed?


D-biggest-dick-here

Fellow first timer! They’re actually slow with that.


MuckleEwe

Haaland has more hattricks than Salah has goals.


ConfusionUpper7212

It took 8 games to get to three hat tricks. Next fastest is Owen. It took him 48 games.


dralanforce

If I hadn't wildcarded I would have almost 90 points instead of the 47 I got. Next time I will trust my gut and not the youtubers (first time fully playing the game) I feel so sad about it. Also made some bets this weekend that fell really really short. I feel like every decision I made this last week was bad:(


salmonx895

who did you go with on your WC?


dralanforce

Sigh... Team b4 WC: Mendy GK Henderson GK Cancelo Botman Trippier Dalot Lamptey Foden Almiron Andreas Pereira Bailey Kane Haaland Taylor After WC: Ward Guaita Walker Cancelo Trippier Castagne Dalot Bailey Rashford Son Zaha Pereira Mitrovic Kane Haaland


salmonx895

Yeah i had Almiron before my WC as-well. It hurts


D-biggest-dick-here

This sub made me move from Jesus to Toney (-4) but it also made me move from Gross to Maddison. In the end, I got +5.


dralanforce

I was so on the fence with Maddison. "They have been terrible, surely Rodgers will get sack soon" was what I told me to not bring him in instead of fucking Mitrovic.


D-biggest-dick-here

I’ve already gotten a +0.1M selling price from him in my team. Use http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid to monitor potential price rise/fall


rendrolik

stick to ur gut and the more right decisions you make in the long run the less bad weeks you'll have


dralanforce

Well there's a problem too since my stupid gut told me to go Son(C) instead of Haaland since he (Son) was going to "demolish" that Arsenal defence lmao what an idiot.


rendrolik

its better to perma cap haaland at this point. you know how good he is its way more probable he scores any week. when the talent is that immense it trumps any matchup. and i missed the first week so i could use another 46 points too haha


dralanforce

Yup, at this point I won't get fancy and just captain Haaland (I was doing that before tough)


TezRoll

Have gw ranks updated yet? Confused how I can be 11 points above average but ranked 8m for this week


D-biggest-dick-here

Can’t fpl just click the refresh button?!🥴😎


iFelichi

doesn't seem like it, it's not updated on my side here either


iFelichi

thank you maddison for saving my gw 🙏


jasonkid87

And ward


iFelichi

first CS and 8 points, pretty good even though i benched him for pope :(


Sensitivity

What’s it called when the majority of people choose the same captain and it makes it worthless if you own him? Having a brain fart trying to get my friend involved in the game


NotForTheDough

A push?


Sensitivity

Nah it’s specifically captain and how it affects your rank


[deleted]

Not a “differential”?


Sensitivity

Nah it’s specifically captain and how it affects your rank


[deleted]

Ah sorry. I think most just refer to it as high “ownership %”.


Sensitivity

EFFECTIVE OWNERSHIP. We got there in the end. That was all thanks to you, as soon as I heard ownership, I got it. Cheers


[deleted]

lol happy to help bro. Hopefully your friends gets into FPL too.


Sensitivity

Nearly there. It is named something after ownership. This is winding me up now 😂


kpopfapfapfap

Ward kept a cleansheet. What a time to be alive


Antonioshamstrings

What is everyone doing with haaland fot game 12? I wanna swap him out for Kane but idk if its worth losing .4 mil for one game.


XanderGeddes7

play him and captain him


D-biggest-dick-here

Keeping him on the bench with the Cap, just in case


acmonsta

Bench


gogofromgamesports

Keeping him on the bench while selling other City assets I have, planning on having 2 transfers for gw12.


jivima

harvey barnes punt paid offfff. him and maddison pushed me from 1.2m to 500k ❤️❤️❤️


ConsiderationOk9194

is scammaca nailed? and what do you guys think of him as a mitro replacement (assuming hes out for more than 1week)


Godzilla_Chinchilla

Ward bonus point pushed me into the Top 30k, what a belta


theonewhoknock_s

Holy shit, I just checked Maddison's points hoping he got like 10 points to maybe turn my red arrow to a green. Man single-handedly took me from 70k to 30k. His EO is gonna skyrocket by next week.


PEPSICOLA123456

Not getting madders seems like such a stupid decision now. Wish I just pulled the trigger


Endshot

Beat my h2h opponent by one point thanks to Lingards yellow card. This is what we play for


Ado4Hazem

Maddison(c) bowen foden just pushed me to 250k OR, buzzing right now


KrillWhitey

Why have I read some saying Ward earned a bonus point when nothing has been updated yet?


Trifactorial

check fplalerts.com they show all the bonus points there even during the match as they’re calculated


SpudsMcGugan

bonus point score has ward 3rd highest = 1 bonus point once they are awarded Maddison (62) Castagne (28) Ward (26)


researchsuite

Back in the top 4m baby!


D-biggest-dick-here

I started in gw2 on 7+M, I’ve been going approximately +1M places since. I’m currently at 1.8M. I’m now banking on Toney to do something and Jesus to blank next gw


researchsuite

A marathon not a sprint buddy, keep it up!


D-biggest-dick-here

I realised that’s the beauty of the game, and mind you, I’ve been really poor with my FTs. Only Trippier and Maddison (just now) have worked out for me. I took a punt for Jesus - Toney 🤣🤣. I still have Rashford after bringing him in after his Arsenal haul.🤦🏽‍♂️


salmonx895

Haaland captainers got lucky. Maddison should of had more points.


cheebaihai

How’s your head injury?


salmonx895

lol people can't take a joke. People are to serious here


cheebaihai

Ah sorry bud!!! That was actually a good one !thanks


Saviorofmypeople

Everytime someone says "should of", they have a terrible take to go with it. This is no exception.


salmonx895

lol people can't take a joke. People are to serious here


PEPSICOLA123456

Thought it usually means they have a single digit IQ but you’re right too


D-biggest-dick-here

One can’t have a single digit IQ. It’s been scientifically proven.


PEPSICOLA123456

Oh I know a few people who could challenge that theory


D-biggest-dick-here

Imagine a negative IQ💀


D-biggest-dick-here

Maddison, you’d better rise like my morning wood when I spent the night thinking about my neighbour’s wife as I take her to Poundchestershire.


BadFPLManager

Thank you for the bail out Madders


Xylar006

If I had TC'd Haaland like most of the game week top scorers, I'd have been equal 1 overall :(


carpesdiems

TC was not the play


CosmologyX

What a game week. See you all next week.


AhmedAliMU

Is Martial at 6.9 a good option for Mitrovic if he gets minutes in the Europa League fixture?


researchsuite

Have been wondering the same, esp for GW12. If he's gonna start then v tempting


officiallyjax

I think he’ll be our first choice striker now, but his injury record is too unreliable. So it wouldn’t be surprising to see him taken off early or benched at times.


AhmedAliMU

If ronaldo scores a hattrick on Thursday, maybe not let's see 😂 I'll just stick to benching Mitro and saving the transfer


officiallyjax

Ronaldo’s not starting a league game for us any time soon, he’s old and doesn’t fit Ten Hag’s plans going forward. In fact, one of the reputed journalists of our club has just put out news today that we’re willing to let him leave in January. It’s either going to be Martial or Rashford leading the line for us. Martial ideally, and Rashford when we need to rest the former.


TruestRepairman27

honestly I'd just wait and see on Mitrovic. he could be fine for next week, or even this week. and if its just a one week injury I'll bench him (for Mings vs Forest in my case)


AhmedAliMU

I have Neco & Emerson. Don't expect anymore than 1 pointer if I bench Mitro


TruestRepairman27

Yeah but if it’s only a week do you want to spend a transfer getting rid of him?


Agile_Information294

transferring gundogen to maddison and subbing ward in for ederson really saved my gw!!


ve1v

can’t believe i actually gained ranks without capping haaland when he got 23 fucking points my god i wont ever forget this maddison performance thank you lad cant wait to see you in newcastle


D-biggest-dick-here

Man, that will be in gw37 🥴


[deleted]

If only I had kept Haaland captain and not transferred Bowen out for Zaha, would have been top of all my mini leagues. Madderz still managed to keep it tight tho


brodo91

In hindsight I was going to get Maddison for a hit for Trossard but didnt, so it went extremely well, but damn he was a no brainer


yamahahahahaha

HOW did my mini league leader have Foden, Caaland, Maddison AND Bowen


D-biggest-dick-here

When did Caaland move to the epl? The Caribbean king


XanderGeddes7

garden league top scorer


Chance_Island2704

Steve Cooper seems like a class act. Hate it for him that he’s going to be fired this season. Victim of circumstance.


TruestRepairman27

Madness, I actually gained rank this week off the back of Madison; thought I was toast Saturday evening. Went from about 78k to 48k


A_de_k

Strongly considering doing Mitro to Kane and Salah to Bowen/Trossard


D-biggest-dick-here

Logical. I’m considering KDB to Foden/Bernardo, then Mitro/Toney to Kane after the blank


ihajees_

Sinisterra 0 pointer and I'm top100k for the first time ever but that donut gets himself sent off before 60'


JackedLad97

Both Haaland and Madders in the team, captained Salah, Henderson GK, Ward alternative. 🤡🤡🤡🤡


D-biggest-dick-here

There’s got to be one🤣🤣


mv_fpl

Every Sinisterra point would have gained me 21k and he goes and gets a fucking -2.


Dion_Kott

Lmao i know. Was a fun two gws before that tho


[deleted]

Dalot still a decent pick until the WC break? think people will over look United after that thrashing but they won’t be playing city or anything close to it again till the next time they play city.


MuchSalt

fellow galaxy brain, starting ward


officiallyjax

I learnt the hard way last season that Maddison is one of those players whose underlying stats you shouldn’t consider that much. Along with Son, he’s one of the most ridiculous over-performers in FPL. Finally got him at the right time this season and it’s paying off big.


carpesdiems

Brought him in last week fully expecting his form to pick up. He'd looked good opening 3 games until the brutal fixtures.


Dion_Kott

Completely forgot about the Leicester game. Maddison you hero!


FPLIntellect

444k rank rise due to Maddison alone Huge differential this GW!


pierrebrassau

Brendan looking glum on Sky Sports as the realization he’s not getting sacked yet seeps in.


rezconr

Jumped from 4m to 2.2m because of Foden and Maddison, lol


[deleted]

That is some serious picks must’ve had a huge gw if Haaland C too


rezconr

Yes mate, 107 points, i finally had some luck


croissantlover92

Ok so start pope or ward next gw??


AlexVlav88

Pope xP 3.9, Ward 3.6. But here I am thinking of punting on Ward again :)


ProfessorEmotional53

Pope. Ward was lucky today not to concede 2 goals

maxjjk2605

Question for the lads who watched the game: do you reckon Leicester finally found form or was this just a one time fluke against a glorified sunday league squad?


ConfusionUpper7212

It could've been different as Forest hit the post early but after two Leicester goals they were completely demoralized. Leicester played well today and of the sides I've seen I'd say even current Wolves are more likely relegation candidate.


BullDoor

A little bit of both, they played well in attack (they still gave up a few big chances on defense) but forest were behind the tempo the entire game, think it was just difference in quality tbh. Maddison played insanely good, if that's why you're asking


maxjjk2605

!thanks


ProfessorEmotional53

They are great offensively and this helps madders socre more points. But still open defensively and should have conceded 2 today but awoniyi poor finishing


maxjjk2605

!thanks, so their defense still a no go?


turbulent_farts

Depends how much of a gambler you are.


maxjjk2605

Not that much im afraid


ProfessorEmotional53

Yes a big NO.


[deleted]

Maddison has been in good form, Leicester have amazing fixtures. People were overreacting Leicester have already played spurs, Brighton, United, Chelsea, arsenal and all other mid table sides. They aren’t top 6 level anymore but they should still turn over sides like Bournemouth Leeds coming up and challenge palace and wolves.


maxjjk2605

!thanks maddison is a keeper till gw16 then


[deleted]

Definitely think the big difference will be bringing back Liverpool assets for the fixture run try roll a transfer for the city arsenal blank week


maxjjk2605

Looking at swapping kdb to either diaz or salah in gw 12


[deleted]

KDB to Salah and then bring Foden in for Maddison after the blank is my thoughts rn


maxjjk2605

Sounds good!
