Oh shucks, you're absolutely correct. Wasn't based on much in fairness. Just some articles time stamped 2-3 hours ago as I'm currently in a fizz with 4 injured! Should have stated as much. Will definitely wait until press conferences are done before making my sub.Based on? Press conference is tomorrow.
Fantasy Premier League 23/24
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
2 transfers, bit limited unless I switch out a big hitter and re-spread the value.
Maybe just 4.3m to 4.6m Archer who starts every week at least to use a transfer?
Areola (Taylor)
Trippier Gabriel Maguire (Tsim, Lascelles)
Saka Salah Son Luiz Palmer
Haaland Watkins (4.3m)

I'm guessing you meant Turner (not Taylor) as your backup goalkeeper? I'd upgrade him now that he's been dropped. Baring in mind West Ham have only kept one clean sheet all season (at home to Sheffield United).
There's no-one to upgrade 4m Turner (yep, not Taylor!) to at 4.3m though. I could shift Areola to a 4.5m, but that's basically Flekken, Neto or Pickford, who have all less points than Areola.
My team has put up the Christmas lights.
My man Let's do it!I'm also looking at a triple Chelsea of James, Palmer and Nkunku for their great run of fixtures after this GW.
I didn't post much because i am having a mare (unlike Caf's draft where i am kicking ass). But it is a time to share this year's travesty.
I am at fecking 1,5 mil. Everything what i touched turned into shit and vice versa. What i sold turned into gold. I missed all trains this year.
2 weeks ago i did -8. And finished week with 16 bloody points (so basically with 8 points which must be some kind of record).
My favorite transfer so far is Neto. I bought him for -4 instead of Palmer (because, you know, Palmer is shit and only "does penalties"). Few minutes later guy got injured. And Areola. How the feck i ended with that dross? I had Ederson and wanted to save money. Still waiting on CS.

Orange background = orange flagged = 25% chance of playing.
Transferring out Bowen and bringing in Captain Kudus.
It's these type of impulse moves that have me languishing near the bottom of most of my leagues.

It will be classic fpl if Bowen hauls this weekend now.
Might do Bowen to Eze. Haven’t decided yet.
Is Bowen just doubtful this weekend and available next?
Is Mykolenko a trap?
Getting priced out by 0.1 for Saliba? Go for Zinchenko?

Rumors he out for weeks.
Swapped him for Sterling, so he will probably be good to go this week already with a hat-trick.
Swapped out Mitoma and Douglas Luiz for Palmer and Adingra with my 2 free transfers, and feeling pretty good about it too.
Haaland only yellow flag in my team for now (and Raya unavailable against Brentford for Arsenal);

Can't decide Captain between Haaland or Son... Ok Son at the moment.
Son's pace vs Villa's high line would've been tempting a few weeks ago but with Maddison injured I can't see him getting anywhere near as much service.
Thought a draft league with mates would be good for a bit of a change, but no one sells decent players when you can just bench them indefinitely even if they're injured for months. Coupled with the mates that stop bothering still hogging players while fielding half a team with injuries it's a bit shit.
Any suggestions?
Similar dilemma...rumour is that Lo Celso will play so that might help provide some of the creativeness lost in Madders absence..
I swapped Cash for Mykolenko to free up funds in order to replace Diaby to Mbuemo next gameweek.
Son, Haaland or Salah captain is a real pain in the ass for a Saturday morning.
So true or even Watkins
I'm going Son although statistically Haaland is best option.
Im on the Solanke train to hell.
Did a Kabore > Branthwaite transfer.
Team locked in.
Areola
Cash, Guehi, Branthwaite
Gordon, Mbeumo, Martinelli, Salah, Son (vc)
Watkins, Haaland (c)
Turner, Archer, Lascelles, Tsimikas
Got lots to do the next few weeks, especially in midfield. Son, Salah and Mbeumo will all go because of international tournaments in January. With Maddison out, Son might be first.
I'm not sure I made the right choice bringing in Martinelli for Maddison so am looking at Bowen moving forward. I want Saka, and think Sterling would be worth a look. Then there's the possibility of jumping on the Palmer train albeit late.
I want an Arsenal defender and want to upgrade Areola too.
That should take me through to the new year pretty much.

Any news on Bowen this morning?
Haaland starts apparentlyTweet

Alvarez not starting FFS
FFS indeed. That's a 1 pointer locked in.
He starts.
He starts thank god
Excellent. They're saying that Grealish was going to start but came down ill this morning. Bit jammy if so.
Didn't even look at my team.
Injuries and doubtful players all over the place.

Ffs Haaland scored. Now I need Son to perform.
No Bowen. FFS!
At least he won't come on for a 1 pointer. Hoping Archer can deliver.
Same. Hopefully he's fit next week. If not he's coming straight back out for big Bry.
Unfortunately I have to hope Joao Pedro gets on at some point and does something.
