Fantasy Premier League 20/21

This has been without a doubt my least favourite FPL season. Planning has been impossible and most of the time has backfired due to the crazy schedule.

Definitely been the year of the 'casual'. Picking in the inform player on a Friday is your typical Casual FPL player move but more often than not this season it's worked for them. A guy in my work league probably spends 5 mins a week on his team if that and is flying high at the top a good way clear of me in 2nd place. And I have been playing over 10 years and take it a lot more seriously.

I'm looking forward to football (and therefore FPL) being a bit more back to normal next season.

Disagree with this actually. It's the year I've enjoyed it the most seeings there's feck all else to do and the gameweeks are so close. Because of the fixture congestion, games rescheduled at short notice, players isolating etc I think it hasn't suited the casual player. There's been far more squad planning needed than other seasons.
 
Wonder how long it will be before they start talking about FPL during games. Like yesterday during our game when the goal was being discussed I half expected someone to go 'and those 3 points have been taken off Fernandes and awarded to McTominay'.

Nah, that's reserved for us fools.
Going to actual games and chuntering on about this player getting 3 points etc :D

You can't plan 4 weeks in advance in Covid times though. I was all set to.play.my BB early in season on the first dgw but Leeds Southampton was canned at the last minute.

I haven't enjoyed it same.
 
Villa concede in the last minute to cost me clean sheet points for Martinez and Konsa, Bamford and Son go off injured in the first half, KDB and Gundogan don't play while Saka goes off injured meaning he might not be able to go from my bench to the starting 11 next week. What a weekend eh.
Guy in my league.

11 points ... with THAT midfield?

7,763,483rd ranking this week. That's basically bottom apart from the people who deliberately picked rubbish to see if they could finish last.

I feel like the best idea this year was to just have a strong playing bench, spread around the funds more + have a backup plan for dgw's and realise everyone else is in the same boat

Aye I get what you're saying and it has pissed me off at times when a game is postponed for example but generally I've enjoyed the challenge and trying to navigate around these blanks and doubles
 


This guy is the biggest troll out there with his little spreadsheets and false hopes.

No doubles in 30 & 31 is good news though, as it means we can use the wildcard a bit later to cover them.

To be fair to him, he was a right about a LOT of things.
 
Did you captain him as well?

I feel very dirty for doing it.
Yeah. I told some peeps here to do the same and they laughed at me whilst sticking to Bruno. The good thing is either he gets me lots of points or most likely Liverpool lose. Either way, I'll sleep well tonight!

But knowing my luck Liverpool will win with a Jota goal assisted by mane :(

Well Bruno got 3 points so regardless of what happens no one can laugh now unless he gets 1 point or is sent off.

Annnd there it is. (Fellow Salah owner here in need of saving this trainwreck week)
 
Liverpool are truely shit and got a lucky goal. Should have been Wolves.

Can't see them making top 4 unless they find form when I sell all Pool players in fantasy.

Can't justify having Salah over Bruno no more. He is just wasting money.

Jota for saving money is fine I guess, but if he get rotated not worth it. Rather go City midfielders in a better team.

fecking knew it :lol:
 
Salah is getting the boot from my team after this "performance".

Yes I'm sure he'll score soon but that value to points return is pathetic. I may get Bale for now and eventually get Jota for Liverpool's easy run in.

That way I can spread my money around the squad.

Same. Even if he hits form, it's hard to see that form being so outstanding that it justifies his price tag. Particularly with Jota providing a much cheaper alternative.

You expect Jota to be rotated or first choice?
Salah might be rotatated as well to be fair.

I think he'll get enough minutes to be worth his place, especially as they need spark from somewhere atm.

Looking at their fixtures, I don't think there's any real need to own a Liverpool player until GW32 anyway so we have a few more games to monitor his minutes in.
 
I made a huge mistake a few weeks ago bringing in Struijk... Now I have panick attacks every time Raphinha gets the ball :lol:

Playing Pep roulette is risky though ... KdB and Gundogan just rested?

Jota (for the money) could be a very good buy. I'm considering it.
