Fantasy Premier League 2024/25

Amad turned a red arrow into green, what a player.
 
3 weeks ago I closed the gap on my rival then he got that 15 pointer from TAA.

Last week I closed the gap again and he got an 18 pointer from Mbuemo.

This week I closed it a third time and he got an Amad 20 pointer.

It's just not meant to happen :lol:
 
The only reason I never had Amad was because whoever I pick turned to shit. Took Saka, turned to shit and then injured. Replaced with Bruno, he got red carded.
Think I will let Amad cook until it becomes untenable.
 
Isak cap was my best move this season. Amad in for this game specifically was my next best.

I’m on 100 points, which will presumably end up 103.

Made up a tonne of ground with so many captaining Salah, Palmer, Bruno.
 
That's the most hilarious prediction come true since the time someone was moaning about not having James and I said "he gets sent off later", and he did :lol:
A hattrick was slightly pushing it but I did think Southampton at home was a good game for him to get points.

To balance that I’ve got an 8 and a 9 pointer on the bench :+1:

See Wrexham fecked up chance to go top?

I raise you this:

A couple seasons ago, everyone had Salah as captain and TAA in the team and we were all wondering how much they'd haul against relegation fodder. My response was "I bet this ends 1-0 with bullshit like Jota setting up Mane and none of us get points"... guess what happened? Jota set up Mane for a 1-0 win :lol:

I was watching the Wrexham game whilst struggling to actually get the United game. Took me until about 80mins, then Amad scored very soon after! So i take the praise.

To score 3 from I assume playing most of the game at right wing back is utterly mad. Almost as mad as Southampton's defending on the 3rd goal. Absolutely park level.

Wrexham could have gone top, but would have played 3 more than Birmingham who will clearly win it. Also Wrexham are quite average away from home, it's at home they're superb.

Wycombe have had a mad week. Doubled our transfer record twice in 2 weeks on seemingly unknown Danish players, and seemingly politely encouraged our 20 years service player , coach and manager to disappear off to Luton so we can pick a more fitting candidate.
More fitting than a guy who has taken Wycombe to 2nd in league 1 scoring the most goals in the division!!

You fly boys crack me up
 
Thoughts for anyone who didn't have Amad this week.
Quick leaf through the 9 teams above me in my work league only ONE did. Beautiful!! Nothing like a mad 20 pointer out of the blue late in the game week from a differential!!
 
Next GW is another where there are multiple captain choices, who is everyone on?

Yeah big decision this week.

Salah safe pick.
Palmer, Haaland and Wood with the fixtures.
Isak with the form.

I'm on safe pick at the moment with Palmer vice but am getting drawn to a punt on Haaland as I'll likely be binning him soon and could be my last chance for a juicy differential. Will also be at the game.
 
Why does the Liverpool/Everton double GW count as week 24 and not 25? It's a pain in the bum.

Fixture takes place on 12th February when GW 24 starts on the 1st. We then have the Carabao Cup semi final 2nd leg and the FA Cup 4th round before the GW concludes with the Merseyside derby.

GW 25 starts on the 14th, a Friday night. Wouldn't it have made more sense to call the derby part of 25?

We'd have all had more information regarding who would or wouldn't be blanking in 29 which we need to consider. We'd have been able to navigate any Liverpool/Everton players potentially getting injured in cup matches better. In terms of time the 12th of Feb is a lot closer to the rest of GW25 than it is the rest of GW24.
 
I've finally managed to rack up a few transfers - up to four freebies. With 1.7m in the bank

Here's the current lineup, and who i'd bench in brackets as it stands.

Sanchez (Fabianski)
Gab TAA Hall (Mykolenko, Castagne)
Salah Diaz Palmer Rogers Amad
Isak Wood (Jesus)


It feels like Forest v Southampton needs a bit more coverage. Maybe Castagne out to their bigger set piece threat defender? But then which defender of the 3 do I leave out of Forest, TAA, Hall and Gab?

Also Jesus is out for the season so needs dealing with at some point soon.

Plus Diaz has a yellow flag - but has Ipswich in the next gameweek, and a double coming up...

What's say we raving cru?

@Dirty Schwein @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @CassiusClaymore @Chipper @Canuckred64 @Sassy Colin @Amir and I honestly always forget a few on these tags..
 
Just the right money to do Diaz to Foden... hmmm

Foden 3 goals in 2 games, Ipswich away next...

Well Jota is apparently injured again. Don't know what's wrong with Diaz, it says "illness" on the flag but he played so don't know what the feck they're on about. I'd hold him.

Jesus is priority transfer here and if you want Forest defence coverage but don't want a benching headache then get Sels in for Sanchez. I don't rate Trent personally but can understand why you'd want to keep him. If you want to burn some transfers and are open to moving him out then maybe get a Forest defender in for him and replace Jesus with Gakpo. Bench Rogers.

A Forest player wouldn’t hurt.. defender or mid. Also Palace have a reasonable fixture run and maybe look a bit more solid.. Mateta?

You don't need to do anything crazy as the transfers will come in handy in a few weeks. The forest defenders look good next game but how useful are they after that?

I would sort out the Jesus issue and try find news on Diaz.

Agreed. Sort out Jesus and roll the rest. I'd kill to have 4 FT's but every week I seem to have another fire to fix.
