Ending a great day with 10 BPs on a downer. At least Haaland's effective ownership is something stupid at the top.
Fantasy Premier League 23/24

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Pretty sure all my competitors tripled the cyborg this week, as did yours. Nothing to worry about.
It wasn't a bad choice going into the week because he couldn't finish his dinner today. Most days he'd get a couple with those chances.

I thought so to. But i think they might give it for blocked shots and not for passes that someone else touches. Martinelli did not get an assist earlier today, but this seems to be given. Who knows how they decide these things, some of them might have Walker.
That's batshit crazy to give that as a walker assist.
Yeah it must be that blocks are classed the same as saves by the keeper. If the keeper made the same block as the defender it would be an assist so it makes sense.
As a Walker owner i agree with the assist.
I might actually do this if he keeps going at less than a goal contribution a game. Not worth it in that case, Salah + an upgrade would be better. Also the commentator said he's only scored in one out of his last seven appearances?
Takes a deflection before getting to Rodri and takes a deflection after Rodri shot and it's somehow an assist. Joke.
Rules suggest that if you make a pass/cross/etc and an opponent materially alters direction of the ball… no assist.
But if you shoot, hits an opponent and rebounds to a teammate… assist.
Seems silly to have two semi rules because you’re always going to get “was that a cross or a shot?”

You should have listened to me... Like I did
I agree it's silly but you can't complain when it's already laid out as the rule and I say that as someone who suffers a lot in my cash leagues for that assist.

Great day overall despite the TC blank. Especially with the DGW failures.
People took -4s and -8s to bring in the likes of Kevin De Blank and Virgil Blank Dyk. Going into this GW with no hits and team set up for next gw without hits as well is a decent position to be in.

Tbf this is a classic fpl dgw. All the TC options blanking or getting injured and the single gw players hauling. Thankfully I kept a couple of them. I leave you with these 3 songs that some my mood up...
Yeah shouldn’t be anywhere near an assist
Should have benched palmer instead of Solanke :/
All in need now is for Gross and Bruno to have a good day and then im half way through this minefield of a GW.
What's with all the potential price changes tonight?
Are people really bringing in Robertson and Salah now?

Of course they are. This thread is an outlier. Most people just check who scored the most points and bring them in. And to be fair to them they probably are much happier with it.
Those transfers are mainly done before the deadline.

Ah ok. I wasn't thinking about this morning's transfers. That makes more sense. Thanks.
Gw27 WC gathering steam with Salah returning and smashing it. Even with the blank in 29 ain't no way we go without him if he looks great in the second game and the cup. Let's hope the cup throws a few games into that blank and make this viable. Also better to get the BB out of the way in 28.
Or be brave and swap for kdb or Haaland (got a tough run coming up)?
Dont know if i should be happy or not.
62 with Garnacho, Walker, KDB and Haaland(TC) left. Benching Solanke last minute for Palmer and having no Liverpool, and lesser no Brighton, are going to kick me i think.

Nah. It's gonna be back to the Salah Son Haaland holy trinity in two weeks time.Or be brave and swap for kdb or Haaland (got a tough run coming up)?
Need to pivot fast in FPL chico
Anyone considering ditching KDB? Too many midfielders to own with Salah, Foden, Saka, Richarlison, Gordon, Palmer and Garnacho all of interest. Some are penalty takers, more of a goal threat or playing out of position up front
Yes, absolutely. I suspect kdb for Salah will be the move for many. I wouldn't be surprised to see Haaland disappear from a few teams too, to help fund that.
A big reason for owning premiums is for captaincy, that's where the value is. Will you ever Captain KDB when Haaland is in the same match? Unlikely.
Don't think I agree. Salah has upcoming: blank, Forrest, City and blank. That's one good fixture in 4 game weeks... I'm bringing him in my GW30 WC.
He smashes City for fun and that will be a huge title game. Expect Mo to be up for that. Forest are gash as well. It's obviously not just that but it will be a trigger based on his form and also the cup results. There are a lot who will dead end their teams in 26 and just set it up for rest of the season in 27. Or just go WC/BB/FH in 27/28/29. Completely depends on how 29 and 34 look which we will know before 27.
Also this will feck people who have been picking players based on 29 and leaving points in short term thinking football will happen according to what Ben Crellin says.
You can have one of Kev or Son along with Mo and Erling. Kev to Son will be popular for those who have him now for the double.
Nothing controversial in bringing the best FPL asset of this season playing for the best team and attack in the league back into our teams if he's looking in hot form.
I didn't TC Haaland so it is funny seeing him blank.
But he will definitely score against Brentford.
