Nick. You are an FPL legend. Sorry for your loss. Thanks for doing the regular videos. They are brilliant. Love the content and your truly original way of approaching the game. Good luck this gw
You make a very good point about content creators teams being the same. And it is total fear of not having the right players. Content creators teams are driven by data and "optimal" picks. It's the reason I've quit Twitter; I'm sick of seeing the same teams over and over again and people being criticised for doing something different. It's toxic and boring. A lot of people aren't FPL "managers", they are FPL copycats. Where's the fun in that??
Agreed Simon, I'm currently 18,000 with Son+Mads to play. I have never had Mbeuno/Alvarez/Mitoma/Watkins at any stage. I would still consider myself on the wrong side of Variance. Had Haaland (C) When Salah scored heavily, then last week the reverse happened and picked the wrong one of the two again. Even had Haaland this week for his 1 pointer like most people. That's a 34 point swing in 3 weeks difference on 50/50 Captain picks.
@@MrColinak If i makes you feel better I took out Ederson, Foden, Morris and Son last week for Turner, Gordon, Salah and Watkins and lost 30pts just like that. Sometimes I do think leaving the armband on the same player would yield more points but it's also less fun. I've owned Mitchell (1.7%) for about 5 weeks and he brought the bacon home this week. These players are ignored by the FPL community. Palace defenders/ GK have been GOLD this season.
Sorry for your loss Nick, cats are really good friends. Your team looks great you’re gonna have a great GW. Wish I’d kept Son… But had Mbeumo, Diaby & Maddison instead so not a bad score in the end. Good luck 🤞🏼
Sorry for the cat. If it's any consolation, I also had a shocking gw, 55 points with watkins captain. Down to 2M+ after last week's wildcard. At the end of the day you're right, it's just a game and it's imporatnt to have fun.
Terrible news about your cat Nick. Some sound advice about not associating FPL with self worth... Enjoy the kayaking and don't do anything too dangerous
52 here from 9 players Nick went from 2.4m GW rank on Saturday to 8.9m GW rank on Sunday. Saka(c), Haaland, triple Arsenal in a 5-0 win lovely except no Odegaard or Gabriel nor Udogie. All with only one sub. Arteta ruined me! Chin up on the cat will you get another?
Just to add to your problems, I’ve had Trent for 3 weeks and he’s looked completely ineffectual playing in the middle. You’re due some luck though so fingers crossed for a 20 pointer on the weekend.
