Fantasy Premier League 23/24

[Chipper]

Yeah I'd wildcard that as well.

Ha! Somehow I've been doing alright so far, 45th in Caf league, top of work league (7 entrants).

My beginners luck knows no bounds. Tired of Rashford, Bruno and Onana so they went.

Wanted Son, Maddison and Salah to add to Watkins and Haaland and that's the best I could do with my funds.

Can always bin Salah soon to beef up elsewhere. Alvarez for Watkins too. Bit concerned about Mbeumo, kept him while releasing Mitoma.

 

[paulscholes18]

Wildcard time!

This week's lineup:

Turner
Digne Cash Colwill
Neto Mbeumo Maddison Son(C) Salah
Watkins Haaland(VC)

Areola Archer Lascelles Kabore

Edit: Liking Liverpool, Spurs and Villa's next few fixtures so built it around that.

How much do you have in the bank?

 

[Chipper]

How much do you have in the bank?

Nothing. Haven't been keeping up on price changes and missed out here and there.

 

[VP89]

Is no Haaland suicide?

 

[RedMist99]

Tough captain choice this week

a) perma cap Haaland
b) logical Son
c) wishful punt Hojlund

 

[SteveCoppellFan]

Rule one .. never have your captain play in the first game of the game week, always ends badly.

Haaland has been missing chances lately and you just know he's going to mega haul at some point, even against Arsenal ( but probably United )

 

[sillwuka]

Is no Haaland suicide?

I'd say so and torture hoping Haaland blanks in every City game.

 

[kafta]

Wildcarded to this:

Turner
Cash Trippier Udogie
Saka Maddison Son Bowen
Watkins Haaland Alvarez

Subs: Areola, Andreas, Colwill, Andersen

Keep going back and forth to find a way to fit Salah

 

[VP89]

Well it's more that trent / saka / Trippier have to do better than him / geuhi and neto..

 

[Tibs]

I’m going with Bruno captain…PLEASE BRUNO PLEASE get me a couple of goals and an assist!

 

[VP89]

Wildcarded to this:

Turner
Cash Trippier Udogie
Saka Maddison Son Bowen
Watkins Haaland Alvarez

Subs: Areola, Andreas, Colwill, Andersen

Keep going back and forth to find a way to fit Salah

If I am not taking Saka (or Haaland), I'm shoehorning trent and Trippier

Ridiculous points potential

B, Haaland away from home isn’t the same player to the one that plays at home. Just sucks that Son and Salah are also away from home.

 

[Ludens the Red]

I might leave this group this year. Constantly hearing people call Luton trash is actually making me sad

In a similar boat. Everyone thinks I support Luton because I live there, it’s so hurtful.

 

[athlonmax]

Double Spurs defenders this week for Luton? Udogie and Porro

 

[saivet]

Strange feeling that Luton will surprise Spurs today and my triple Spurs, Son captain and two Luton players on the bench will bite me..

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Strange feeling that Luton will surprise Spurs today and my triple Spurs, Son captain and two Luton players on the bench will bite me..

Meh. Standard feeling before the deadline. Should be a good captain split this week for once.

Held my knees on a doing a -4 and went in with

Leno (Areola)
Cash Udogie Trippier (Walker) (Kabore)
Saka Son (c) Maddison Diaby Sterling
Haaland Alvarez (Archer)

Can't wait to bin Sterling when the game loads back up. That will feel good.

 

[DJ_21]

Why’s it always updating the game! Wanted to do my changes for this weekend. Will miss it now

Deadline was 11am

 

[DJ_21]

Deadline was 11am

Thought it use to be 11:30? I did try just before 11 aswell but wouldn’t let me on.

 

[VP89]

I've done no Haaland

And captained Son because I have too much Liverpool concentration with trent salah and diaz.

Going to be an interesting gameweek

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

You never get right until the deadline to make changes, the game always starts updating just before it. I’ve been stung with that before. Happened to me on the last day of the season previously, nearly cost me winning my mini league.

 

[sullydnl]

Is no Haaland suicide?

All else being equal the Haaland and non-Haaland sides will probably end up about the same over the run of fixtures most people are looking at.

It's really just a question of captaincy. Will Haaland happen to spike three or four of the goals he will score over this period in a week where his owners have him captained?

I usually do it Friday night to be honest incase any doubts for games but I sometimes forget so end up tryna do it last minute

I dont know to be honest. I'm just playing for fun and there's no fun with Haaland and salah in the same team.

This way I'm looking at trent, Trippier, diaz (who will later change to saka) alongside the Sons and Bowens of this world. I find it more enjoyable.

I generally enjoy getting points

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Son cappers are mad.

VERY good chance he doesn’t even start, and guaranteed he’s hooked early.

Had a feeling this was mind games to improve your overall ranking

Doubt it. FPL is played outside of Cafe too. The point was valid and it stands. Very good chance that he could be subbed earlier if they are winning comfortably.

Trent and Tripper isnt required. Switch them based on fixtures . Likewise Salah and Haaland isn't required.

Yeah I am a complete FPL noob. I don't even go by stats much and it shows

Punting on Trippier and trent to haul against basically anyone and like that they have good routes to points. 14m for Haaland was too toppy for my liking.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

There’s also a good chance he’ll heavily contribute to them winning comfortably before he’s subbed off.

Trent is facing the top scoring team in the league away from home so it will be interesting to see if they can keep a clean sheet.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

You beat me to it. He's the most likely goalscorer so if they're winning comfortably then that can only be good news for Son captainers.

Cue a Richarlison hat trick with no Son assists

 

[JP77]

Richarlison will surely bag some points here. Looked at him but just couldn’t take him over Son and Maddison. He’s a brilliant shout at his price as a midfielder with Solomon now injured too.

 

[VP89]

Trent is facing the top scoring team in the league away from home so it will be interesting to see if they can keep a clean sheet.

Today it's more his assist potential, Brighton can't defend and they are missing estupian on top. It's a punt but might as well, I'm so far down anyway

Beyond today hel have 3 home games out of the next 4 against weaker teams.

 

[Nickosaur]

Son cappers will be rubbing their hands together. Luton look awful so far.

 

[Samid]

Spurs triple up and (S)on was a massive mistake.

 

[sullydnl]

Spurs triple up and (S)on was a massive mistake.

Luton conceded well over 1xG in the first 10 minutes alone and could easily be a few goals down already. Absolutely nothing about this game so far suggests that was a bad decision. They just happen not to have taken their chances. Good decisions don't guarantee good outcomes, etc etc.

 

[Sandikan]

Captaining a spurs player. What on earth were we thinking.
First game of the weekend too.

 

[Sandikan]

Absolutely nothing about this game so far suggests that was a bad decision.

How about it being 0-0 after 40mins?
