Got Gross, Sanchez and Rodrigo in on my WC. Apologies to all the Diaz owners for what inevitably happens tomorrow

Lads inn absolute freefall

Brought in Dunk tonight, another miss score.

i don’t know what to do with the team!

OR 6mil before tonight .. plummeted even further

Only just tuning in now, the James news is certainly welcome as I have Andreas 1st bench. Didnt make the mistake of leaving Mitro on the bench this week and he repaid. I know a few here got burnt by him a few seasons back but with goals now v Liverpool, Arsenal and Brighton he is in red hot form, will continue playing him no matter who the opposition is until the goals dry up.

Only downside was I took a -4 to shift Mount to Dias and I bought Lavia to fund it, of course he scores while sitting 2nd on my bench. Though if Haaland doesnt play tomorrow night then happy days

2 weeks ago I brought in dasilva - 2 blanks and then dropped.

last week I brought in Rodrigo - blank and then injured

This week I brought in Saliba - you all know how this is going to go :(

Who you bringing in next week?

Mr Crispy · 30-08-2022 10:03pm

10 from 4 tonight, which includes the 6 Andreas is giving me off the bench. I didn't bother selling James, so I'm hoping the lack of a -4 or -8 hit saves me in the LMS leagues.

whatawaster81 · 30-08-2022 10:06pm

Gross and Rodrigo for -4 got me 3. 😫

What sort of team you got? There are so many teams this season that it's hard to get out of the millions

shmeee · 30-08-2022 11:37pm

Armband on Salah is now a differential....

Salah EO 78%

Haaland 155%

Similar EO around my rank, 300k. Come on Mo!

gammygils · 30-08-2022 11:50pm

6(-4) from 4

Fukkin hell

First time logging on since the "upgrade" to the site and the first time playing fpl in years (since 2018 I think).

Gotten a lot quieter here, used to be at least 20 pages on a matchbday, especially midweek matches

q2ice · 31-08-2022 12:08am

11 points from 4 (including 1pt dasilva to come in for James)

Will prob drop heavily this week. Was about 490+k OR at the after gw4, just hoping to win motm on mini league.

Unless Haaland doesn’t play and everyone has Salah VC

Haaland will play some part, I was just going with who would more than likely get more minutes on the field.

Looking around rye leagues this morning, not many with double digit scores, the odd player had Sterling, Mitro or Gordon and that's about it. Andreas first sub for so many so a nice 6 pointer to come in for James etc. pending the correct amount defenders on the pitch.

Ace2007 · 31-08-2022 9:56am

I agree I think Haaland will start but with all the talk I ended up going with Jesus as captain - if Haaland bangs in a hatrick and Jesus blanks I’ll be annoyed (more so if Sarah does)

thomasm · 31-08-2022 11:09am

Radio chatter saying Nkeitah may start tonight which could potentially mean a benched Jesus

Muahahaha · 31-08-2022 12:12pm

I was hoverng over a Jesus captaincy at home to a woeful Villa but chickened out and played it safe with Haaland. It think he is captained by around 50% of all players so if he delivers a cameo 1 pointer tonight it will throw the game into a bit of chaos, probably a good thing overall

A Jesus benching gives me 6 points Andreas bar a 1 point cameo so won't be too worried.

Is it time to start getting ourselves a 3rd bench option who is not a 4.5m forward and upgrade to a Mitro etc due to mid weeks games and some more rotation coming up? But with 5 subs, there is going to be plenty of 10/20 min cameos I feel also.

thefallingman · 31-08-2022 1:37pm

i agonized over captain this week between Erling, mo and Jesus. Eventually picked mo after the captains thread spooked me, would be funny if mo was the only one to play, i'm not sure if i'd be happy or sad.Weird
