Bollocks I had not noticed Gordon wasn't on the pitch at the time.
That being said I'm fine with the move, I had two free transfers and price rises are a bitch! Just did Gyok to Woltemade and Bruno to Saka.

Ouch on that BB! I wonder about my BB and TC this season, it’s paralysis analysis!I am 220k overall. Juuuuust behind you.. What is 100k these days?
Btw; 13 for BB is solid. I had 14 few weeks ago. Last year BB was the reason why i rage quit the game.
I was waiting, waiting, waiting....and when i hit BB i got, wait for it........3x1 point and one player didn't play.
In the top 100k but it’s been 2 bad weeks in a row now guys who returned last week didn’t this week, FML! Gotta get lucky in this game too!
Doesn't look like a massive mistake or anything even if he doesn't have pens. He's looked decent and fixtures are fine. Him vs Gyokeres could go either way over the next few weeks.
Suppose Wissa might give him some competition eventually but no point worrying about that now, and Wissa's introduction will likely be a slow one. Enables your other transfer too.
Can't say I blame you. Just throwing it out there as one of those crazy types of plans that just might work, exploring everything.
Theoretically feasible although it would be a huge risk. Lots of solid options for defenders anyway.
First time ever, since I started playing FPL, to have 11/11 returns. Doubt it will happen ever again.

The Gards are to be rang
"Content not available in your region" - Did they already come for him?
Nah I know what it is - imgur, where he hosted that image has blocked the UK in last week or so. Can't use it anymore, which I used to, or see images that others upload to it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gzxv5gy3qo
Well done @Vidooq how many points did you get seeing as I can't see?
I reuploaded it on another site. 106 all out.
Brilliant stuff, well done! Can see it now you've change the image host.
All looks fairly obvious seeing your team apart from the Burn assist. Clean sheet yes, but he's not known for doing much in an attacking sense. Really nice team overall, with no lucky picks hauling points where we might not expect it. You're making it look easy there.

I think it's the first time ever I've been in top 10k. Obviously it'll all collapse soon and I'll end up losing all my mini leagues as well even though I'm currently 70-80 points ahead in every single one of them, but I'll at least take the next two weeks to marvel at where I am now.
I've got 2 Palace players in my wildcard squad but not sure this is the right time to be jumping on them with an eye on BB in GW9. Bournemouth and Arsenal in the next 2 isn't easy. Might try and roll 2 to bring in Sarr and Richards in GW10 instead. Paqueta and Diouf look like decent place holders.
How did Semenyo look? Week in and week out he's overperforming his xG and I haven't really watched him closely at Bournemouth.
Is he a must have at this point or is he - like previous season - riding a rosy wave that will end in a lot of blanks again?

He seems more important to them with Kluivert not in the the team, so he's getting into better positions and the team seem to be trying to locate him in every attack. He's also historically had good expected data but also has been wasteful. This season, he seems to be converting those chances. I don't see it lasting but once it slows down, I think he'll carry on getting points but more at a steady rate, which is what you expect from a player that is in the £7-8m range.
Re:Semenyo - I think there's an interview with him somewhere where he talks about actively working on his composure and finishing over the summer. He recognised a weakness in his game and looks like he's improved it significantly. He was shooting a lot last season but often from stupid positions. I think he's more clinical now, hence overperforming on his XG. No it's probably not sustainable but he's definitely a must own at the moment imo. I got him in straight after watching that Liverpool game on the opening day.
The thing with Semenyo is literally every Bournemouth attack he is heavily involved in - Bournemouth score quite a few as well so I really think he’s a must have.
I’d argue that Sarr of the 6.5s is also a must have I think he will get a combined 20 Goals/Assists this season.

Debating whether to move Pedro on for Woltemade or Thiago
Either move gives me enough money to bring in another Arsenal defender.
I do think Pedro is better playing with Delap - he has nice fixtures coning up though

Absolutely no reason to move Pedro before a Forrest game
Well, I watched the game v Fulham, and his first goal was poor defending from Castagne, and Leno gave him such an opening from a dead angle by spreading his legs. His second contribution, the assist for Kluivert, was a pass in Bournemouth's half, which Kluivert turned into a wondergoal. And his last contribution was a tap-in after Fulham threw everything upfront. While he was utterly missing last year, everything seems to be going his way this year, and with the way he is rising in price, you simply can not afford not to have him.

He seems like a real threat on corners and free kicks, plus it seems to me that Newcastle is trying to close shop in certain games. He was more attacking last year for sure, but I need to have something different to move forward in my mini leagues. Plus, having the option to rotate him with Pedro Porro based on games played is a nice bonus.
Massively agree on both of these. So i hope you are doing well in FPL
Perhaps once Kluivert is back they will adapt a little and Semenyo won't see quite as big numbers, but 6 in 7 and 3 assits isn't sustainable no matter what. I still see him getting 16-20 goals this season so he's the bargain of the game for me.
People are sleeping on Sarr too when you look at his numbers last year, and no Eze. I think their new purchase Pino seems more a playmaker? Don't quote me on that, but if so, works in Sarr really picking up some more of Eze's contributions.
2 transfers over the coming break.
Who is of most need to ship off out of the below?
Richarlison, Foden, Reindeers, Grealish, Pedro
Have about 3.5m to add, so Isak and Sarr would work.
Foden is taking a bit chunk of wad for his outputs at the moment.

All of them. Have you used your wildcard?
I think Pedro has to be a hold with those fixtures doesn't he? I'm bringing him back in probably.
Richarlison is a must to get rid. Pedro can wait. Grealish is a keeper. Between Foden and Reijnders i would sell Foden and keep Reijnders as bench warmer.
Sarr is a no brainer but i would probably wait with Isak. Or not. I am not sure anymore about Isak and Liverpool in general.
Richarlison & Foden for me as they are minute risks.
Fodens minutes will reduce now as Cherki was back on bench yesterday.
Congratulations! Amazing work
Brilliant! Well done
2 game weeks back.
Thanks. Game is mostly luck, last season I had the bad end of it and got obliterated across all my mini leagues with a horrible ranking at below 2m so it’s good to be doing well for change. My best ever was in 130ks.
The thing with his overperformance is that if he "only" started to perform at the same level his underlying numbers suggest from now on he'd still be good. 0.52 xG and 0.05 xA puts him right near the top of the midfielders. It's only Sarr, Bruno (with the help of 3 pens), Saka (small sample size this season), Estevao (small sample size again) and Enzo (surprisingly) who are competing with him there.
If everyone hit their numbers from now on, nothing more, nothing less then he's still that must have. Think nearly everyone has him already anyway!
Also a thing to be said about going with the flow in general when it comes to those overperforming players. If you have one like Kudus for example with his 6 returns from 2.43 xGI there's no way you're taking him out. Same applies to Semenyo. You might not want to bring in Kudus due to there being some with better underlying numbers if you're wary of that sort of thing (some people are, some aren't), but back to the original point that doesn't apply to Semenyo. His underlyings are among the best.

Interesting. I've got Saka, Sarr, Semenyo and Enzo on wildcard at the moment. Bruno is going out and the guy at the top of my league has Kudus and I can't see myself bringing him in. Still think Sarr could wait a couple of games though. Looking at Paqueta as an alternative to Reindeers now as my 5th.
Have exact money on the wildcard for...
Pope Dubravka
Timber Gabriel Munoz Senesi Rodon
Semenyo Saka Sarr Enzo Paqueta
Haaland Woltemade Pedro
Would have to make peace with a weekly benching headache though. Also no real wiggle room to get in Isak/Ekitike/Salah in one move if Liverpool start actually performing but nothing that a few stored transfers couldn't resolve I guess.
I think the bolded are fairly nailed for me now. The rest is just tinkering. Other names I'm considering are Bowen, Isak, keeping Reindeers, Mbeumo, Anthony, Gordon, (that's 2 players not me just typing out his full name) keeping Diouf, another Palace defender that's cheaper, a different £4m 3rd bench option to Rodon.

This team is absolutely banging btw. Not just because of the gw score but it covers pretty much everything. Best defensive teams with the Arsenal double up and a good spread of attacking talisman picks.First time ever, since I started playing FPL, to have 11/11 returns. Doubt it will happen ever again.
Mukeile gets defcons every week. Guarantees an extra few points over Rodon.
Yeah I think it's because I'm focused on 9 and trying to get the BB used straight away after the wildcard. Really I should just forget about it until an opportunity/headache presents itself. I'm already disliking the benching headache I'm giving myself in 8.
Reijnders + Saka + Woltemade vs Sarr + Gordon + Gyokores ?
Whatever one you choose will be the wrong call, so just go with your gut (but personally i think first option as im considering bringing in the first two but with Kudus!)
Another international week,
Always saw 12 or 13 as a good entry point for Liverpool. Fixtures are insanely good from around then. They're good before that too , just City away in 11 that isn't but while Salah is in a bit of slump and we don't what's really happening with Isak/Ekitike could use the time until then to assess them further. Perhaps the next few weeks reveal who we should be buying.
Arsenal become slightly tougher around then with Chelsea and Villa away in 13 & 15. With Gyokeres and Eze in my team can see myself making some sort of Arsenal to Liverpool attacking switch about that time. With Saka in yours it might be harder, he's not a player to easily dump if he's doing well. Still, plenty of other ways you might get to Liverpool.
At that point (12 or 13) it's not too long until Salah heads to AFCON so even if he improves the next few weeks could still be a skip by then as we won't exactly get much use out of him. There's those extra transfers we're getting in 16 to help with that though so not so bad.
Enzo or Caicedo on wildcard?
