Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

I've decided to back Raul Jimenez this weekend against Saints instead of buying Aleksander Isak, cos I'm a fkn genius.

Let's see how that goes.

fecking state of me doing this. Jesus wept. What was I thinking?

Probably something along the lines of "why would I want the league's in form striker who's hauling for fun when he's playing against Ipswich"

It just gets worse and worse.
 
Yep Haaland to Isak is such an obvious one in hindsight. Whoops.
Making a transfer and bringing someone else in must feel sillier though.
 
The thing about City now is that there’s so much recent footage on how to beat them. I think it’ll genuinely be hard to get back to where they were in the short term as teams have so many mistakes and tactical flaws to microanalyse

I made that move. Have him as vice captain and Rodgers on the bench so would very much like Salah to not be involved tomorrow.
 
Thankfully i don't have to do a league update as i'm off work for a couple of weeks, which'll be about 3 or 4 game weeks, so don't have to painstakingly relive this week's absolute disaster.
 
Time to bin off Haaland I think. Used to be a time when I was in a dilemma deciding who to captain between him and Salah when they’re playing away from home, this week I’ve gone with Salah,. It used to be a gimme every week with him now I wouldn’t even trust to captain him against Southampton at home these days. Far too many strikers outperforming him now Isak, Duran, Wood, Wissa etc
 
Getting a nosebleed, into the top 10k on live.

Sneaking ahead of the most cloned team too. Before Isak scored his 3rd I was 3 points behind them and they don't have him. They all benched Rogers too.

In the words of Kevin Keegan, "I'd love it if we beat them". A little against the spirit of the game for them all to be copying whoever they're copying and not thinking for themselves. It's not even playing game really. 480 of them occupying almost 5% of the top 10k before today.
 
My problem is there's 2 weeks to do the first wildcard or lose it.
But the big game changer is shifting his 15m across the team a bit better. Also get Cunha, Bartolo out etc and Saka in.

But then Haaland has 2 decent fixtures.

Oh well, that's a soon problem, not for today.
Amazed you still have it. And Haaland.

Do a WC draft and chuck it on here…
 
Eddie Howe looking to make me sweat the past couple of weeks with Hall's clean sheets. Got there in the end.

He's taken Livramento off just past the hour both times to lock his in while keeping Hall on. With the other subs they were making was fearing lack of concentration and conceding a consolation goal.
 
Arsenal clean sheet gone.

Bastard when you have two of 'em. :lol:

Sarr now looking good. Palace's fixtures looking alright from 19 onwards too.

2 For Jesus now, wasn't on my radar at all until you mentioned him. Could be that Cunha replacement for some, hard for me with 3 Arsenal already.
 
Surprised he didn't wait for my inevitable ditch of Haaland to bring him on the wildcard for that injury.

Arsenal are jinxed this year - finally see City crumble, and can't capitalise.
 
Saka not too damaging considering his high ownership numbers.

Top 10k - 78.4%
Top 100k - 74.1%
Top 250k - 72.4%
Top 500k - 70.9%
Top 1m - 68.4%

Opprtunity to gain an advantage now. Do we sell (probably) but who for? Make the right decision and we can start to gain points on the others who had him instead of just matching them week by week. Could get it horribly wrong too.:lol: Suppose I like to look at the positives, it spices things up.

Son and Bruno the obvious candidates if not already owning one or the other. Do we then spend the money saved and abandon any thoughts of getting him back until a wildcard or do we save it for his potential return? Many options. Could even move to a much cheaper player than him and re-structure the squad.

You can log in with your team id number or team name, or view it in demo mode as though you were last season's winner just to see all the stats. I've done that for the picture below. It's full of data.

Make sure it's on the stats tab (first red circle), then select what sort of player rank you want to look at. Top 1m, top 100k, all teams etc. There's quite a few options.

Scroll to the ownership part. You can monitor your rivals in your mini leagues too.

Looks like I’m taking a -4 this week. Got to move out Watkins, Cunha and now Saka with his injury. Might make all of them today
 
Okay, I may as well bin Saka. He's not performed for me and it doesn't make sense to hang onto him. I have Salah, Palmer, Amad and Kulu in midfield already.

I would like to upgrade Pedro or Delap, so maybe I bring Rogers back in. I just sold him but I sold him before his price drop, so it's not that big of a mistake.
 


That looks like he is going to be out for 2-3 months, maybe even the season.

Can't always tell with crutches. Sometimes look a lot worse.

Need him fit though or their chances of the title really are done for.
