Fantasy Premier League 22/23

Thinking about FPL making me sick. Literally switched Haaland to Salah Captain 5 minutes before deadline because Haaland was playing United.

I normally separate FPL from reality but our little decent run recently made me want to change my ways... Never again.
 
Costing me points but as a Utd fan I refuse to put a player opposing us as Captain.
 
Those of us who were laughed at for suggesting Haaland should have been comfortably the most expensive player ever. I mean, this is even more ludicrious than I thought when suggesting he should be 13.00, if not 14.0. (Messi/Ronaldo in their El Clasico used to be suggested at 15.0+ if they were in an FPL for example).
 
Chaps, it appears James Tomkins is back playing for Crystal Palace after a long term injury. Available for 3.9m at the moment if you're looking for a cheap makeweight in defence.
 
325k subs. Entire team outscored by Haaland (c).



He had a mare as did a lot of Content Creators and self declared ‘experts’. His team doesn’t look very good on a wildcard as well, still trying to rely on Trent and Salah, Solanke up front.

I’ve only been catching up this week and saw all the talk was Dominic Solanke who has 5 goals in the last 5 years in the Premier League. Madness from FPL ‘experts’.

I’ve been ignoring the Twitter talk a lot recently and it’s helped. Binned Salah and Trent, got Foden, Maddison and Bowen in and risen up the ranks. At the end of the day it’s just looking at the fixtures and guessing.

Yeah I don't think the twitter template is bad in general or anything but there's often a trap or two everyone's going after. The Dennis debacle last season was the peak for that.
 
Rough. That's all i can say. Happens every year. I trust our guys and get absolutely burnt vs rival players.

Took out Foden for Maddison....

Maddison cap tonight lets go....

Yeah, reasons why i did that: Foden blanks soon, preferred Maddison as an option. Did he really have to his first f**king hattrick vs us yesterday.
 
Hello darkness my old friend...

Well it looks like Haaland is a season long captain pick now for sure. Won't be deviating from that script again in the near future (apart from 12 obviously).

And with that said it seems obvious now to bring in KDB after GW12 for Salah as he's probably guaranteed an assist every game.

2 transfers this week but with Mitro picking up a knock it looks like Jesus gets another week so probably Trent and Gordon out for Zaha and a cheap defender....any recommendations? Thinking Guehi or Zouma looking at the fixtures.

What would you do if you have him now though? I have Cancelo, KDB, Haaland, Martinelli blanking in 12. 4 total free transfers before that GW. Seems mental to keep a 12m guy on the bench but as you say, probably need him for the run after. Or maybe do KDB to say Diaz for 12 and then upgrade one of the fodder to Foden with the money saved for 13 onwards.

True, but Maddison can EASILY hat trick / haul tonight against a poor Forest in a game that definitely have a lot of goals in it, and suddenly that teams looking good.

He’ll get at least 10 points imo.
 
I did not captain Håland and he still outscored the rest of the team :rolleyes: . I'm really struggling to come to terms with this game
 
For some reason I got martial in during GW3, thinking his injury would be a short one. Finally vindicated :lol:

I have those four plus Jesus and Saliba. 6 blanks for week 12. Only sensible option is to use the free hit, not enough free transfers and I can't afford to lose so much team value if I transfer them out.
 
Come on Madders. One more attacking return (plus the BPS) and I'm in the 100 club. :)
 
Meh on Maddison.

I don't see how I'm gonna get over this. Haaland and Foden. F**k our team honestly. It's always United as well isn't it? Really (probably delusionaly) backed us to at least give them a game. People in my mini league with 80+ points now.

Reeling. This is season defining stuff.
 
Come on you beautiful man. One more. You beatiful f**king man. Why haven't we signed him?????
 
Damn Maddy is less than 20% EO and I've halved my rank from 1m. Grab a couple more my son!
