Hi all! Im in Portugal this week so sorry for the delay and slight change in quality (if you noticed!) all will continue as best as possible ♥️ Hope that’s ok!
Harry, I ended up with 56 points after that Wood goal and a big green arrow! What is hurting me are my captaincy choices! I have had Haaland and Salah since GW1 and whenever I captained Haaland it's Salah who returned and vice versa! I am also happy that I have put my faith in the rest of the team, Gvardiol, Rogers, Wood, Welbeck and Trent.
I had a bad week too, on 29 with Sels to play. I wildcarded, dropped Salah, Garnacho and Woods, so he will probably get a hat trick tonight. I could be up near 50 pts
@@tommalone58 i scored 40 too, not so bad. Went from a big red to a grey after the forest game. Wildcard is about future gameweeks too and I’m sure you’re set up nicely
Scored 72 points over last 2 weeks after a great start. These things happen and it’s good to hear so much positivity about how the season is going despite the stats (for many content creators tbh) not being great. I suppose like investing, you play the long game and you’ll eventually end “up” at the end of the season 90% of the time
What a SAVAGE gameweek. Iv'e seen prople with 2 and 3 points, and even FPL experts with 20 ish points. And the drop is gonna get worse due to Eze and Henderson points later tonight. Just goes to show you how much luck is involved with this game. Surely these players can delivers better next GW. Saka in full training confirmed by Arteta, so he will starts for me next GW. Aint-Nouri and Palmer will also start for me next GW. I always favour the attackers, so I'd sell Trent and keep Solanke.
arteta said that ødegaard and saka are progressing and that they’ll see how bukayo is feeling today as they have training later - but he wasn’t in training ahead of the champions league game against shakhtar donetsk tomorrow so… 😬
Now I don't feel so bad Harry, with Dunk coming off the bench for me to replace Saka, I have 24 with Wood and Milenkovic yet to play. My worst GW since last season when only a few clubs played. Dropped from 702k to 1.8 Mil. Ouch.
Wow my man. Thankfully Wood returned. My rank went 121k to 270k with that weekend horror show but milenkovic took me back up to 170k with that clean sheet and sub 1% ownership 🙏🏾 thanks for the quality content. Your thoughts do help with my decision making!
Brand new subscriber and I have to say it’s so nice to know that the “professionals” have bad weeks as well. Interesting thoughts on Haaland which hadn’t crossed my mind
Like the way u stay calm & composed after a bad game week. It's a low scoring week to be fair,, there cd be another 20-30 pts swing when Haaland score a hat-trick against SOU next week
Was planning on rolling this week before saka injury to now Saka to Palmer and Semenyo to Dibling ( to get Palmer) What should we do with greaves ? I currently have 30 points with wood aina left and Semenyo getting subbed on for saka
Hi FPL Barry, 42 points here, with Eze and Munoz to play. Sold Haaland before GW6 and bought in Havertz and Watkins. FPL feels very different this year and much more difficult, not able to put my finger on why just yet.
You can't have all/most of the star players, that's why it's difficult. If you have haaland automatically you can't have Salah. That's what this season is about. How well can you evolve the team through the season hence the 5 subs stack up. In previous seasons you could have most of the premium players, meaning the differentials made the difference plus who you captained was massive. Now, that's no longer as significant.
Almost same team as you Harry. I've got Porro, Ait Nouri, Palmer and Welbeck instead of TAA, Myolenko, Mavididi and Solanke. Currently with 26points with Wood still to play. I'll be benching Gabriel for Ait Nouri for GW9.
Had a very similar gameweek. I have 2 free transfers and my wildcard still available, so i'm seriously considering either Saka for Son this week, or Haaland for a mid-price striker like Strand Larsen, Archer (gw 10 and 11) or Jimenez and Smith Rowe out for Salah. Plan was always to Wildcard in gameweek 12 and I'm sticking to that.
Konate as a Trent replacement (depending on how much of the funds you need) is not a bad idea if Liverpool are gonna be this solid defensively. Konate also got som aerial threat. 3 goals conceded in 8 and they are on track to beat Chelsea's defensive record that Rory can't stop talking about. I'm with you on Haaland to Watkins + a chance to get Salah in. FPL Planet haven't had Haaland all season and he is around 7K OR.
I am thinking of just going for 1 Arsenal defender and already have Raya , so think it is Gabriel to go rather than Trent , seems Liverpool are more reliable the now Harry . Best of luck either way 👍💚☘️🏴
Wood, Rogers and Mykolenko saved it a bit for me. Still dropped rank but only like 400k->500k. Went Jackson to Solanke, what a terrible transfer that ended up being. It seemed and should have been a great week for him with them scoring 4 goals but man, it was like he played defensive mid.. I want to play Mykolenko this week but i think ill be to scared to bench Gabriel, he seems to score in the big games. Oh and i went with Ait Nouri and Palmer 2 weeks ago, i think thats the play.
Only regret in gameweek 8 is that my captain pick, Haaland, again blanked. The captaincy armband was hovering over Salah for a while 😢. Small green arrow though, with 47 points.
From gameweek one up until now I still cannot understand the obsession with owning Haaland.. 🤔.? He's 15 million + now> For that budget you could get a minimum of 2 or 3 very good priced players who over the course of a season combined would outscore Haaland. The first 2 or 3 gameweeks I hurt not having Haaland & I wondered if I'd made the right decision. Long term I have..
Indeed, no reason to panick, there were simply no big hauls this week and many popular players blanked. It was a good gameweek to have a bad gameweek, and your team still looks pretty solid.
Harry thoughts on Palmer, Salah, Saka, and Watkins teams? Cuz Haaland is too much of a spend and its working really well for me. Up to top 500k and Salah is my Vice Captain after Saka injury so I'll be likely top 300-400k
41 points with Chris Wood left to play. I obviously want him to do well, but it would be quite funny to see a team somehow get all blanks and no returns 😬
For me trent is a must. Best defence in the league and has insane attacking potential. That being said I do really like aït Nouri. Bought him and semeño into my team, as I was disappointed with Gabriel and calafiori.
49 for the week midfield let me down in Smith Rowe mbuemo and Diaz but not panicking decent enough week with a green arrow still. And now over 500 points.
I got 66 pts this week. Captained Salah ahead of Haaland (VC), I got Welbeck, Jackson, and Rogers, with Sels (11pts) in goal. It could have been more cos I benched Keane (14pts)
Captaining Salah against Chelsea saved my GW. Brought in Son and Strand Larsen for Saka and Armstrong, with one more Free Transfer to make Looking at selling Havertz and Konsa for Cunha and Ait Nouri, but because I still have Bentley as my 4.0 GK, it will cost me one extra transfer unless I use my Wildcard Thoughts?
Chin up Harry - that's the game, and a surprisingly small rank hit for you! Going well for me as I've gone without Haaland throughout. Currently on 41 points (Munoz and Henderson playing as we speak) and sitting at around top 11k. The disrespect for Salah this year demonstrates the hubris of man.
61points this week. I was planning on haaland then rodri got injured. Didn't bring him in due to that alone. City are just not the same without him same as the other season
42 points with Salah, Ndiaye and vardy bailing me out this week, captain haaland blanked again, saka didnt play , palmer blanked i am also considering selling my defenders porro, robinso and colwill and go for 4m defenders xD, cant really rely on clean sheets this year
28 pointer this week! I always back Mo Salah no matter what but of course I sold him for Saka right before the deadline. Looking to sell Haaland down to Salah after this upcoming week as Southampton have been terrible all season
26 points plus I also have Wood to play. As for Trent v Solanke, I'd keep Trent. I plan on keeping him a d I still think the Viking is a long term hold
My wife's team got 64 points. She has not had Haaland at all this season and has gone up to 200,000 after this game week. She was over 4,000,000 in rank after 3 gameweeks
Yep. I panicked w/ Haaland's early success with my no-Haaland start to the season. I used an early WC. And of course, Haaland has pooped the bed since.
I'm tempted to sell Watkins and TAA to bring in Son and Palmer, what do we think? I'd replace Watkins with cunha, TAA with ait nouri, Saka to son and Semenyo to Palmer. All FTs
