Don't rage sell Isak. I'm gonna bench him next week so expect a haul.
Fantasy Premier League 22/23

How many people have that troll Wilson anyway?
Enough to destroy my rank by 109k
Got me (I think) only my 2nd tripple digit week, even with Murphy and De Bruyne and two Brighton wasters in midfield.
Absolute killer for my mini league where my rival captained Haaland and didn't have either Isak or Wilson. The only annoyance is Toney not playing meant Almiron is coming off the bench for 7.
Wtf? By 109k? No bloody way
Probably a month too late to win any leagues but 151 for the week.
Lucky more than anything but had a few flukey weeks like this that have saved my season.
Best season ever for me so far!

Want to get Bruno in for the last GWs, how would you do it? Have one FT.
Could go Ødegaard, Isak -> £4.4 striker and Bruno
Could go Ødegaard, TAA -> £5.1 defender and Bruno
Or Haaland, Andreas -> Alvarez and Bruno.
Latter would obviously run the risk of backfiring immensely but considering the finals coming up I could see Haaland being rested.
Edit: Could do Ødegaard, Wilson -> Bruno, Enciso as well (0.2 short to keep Wilson and sub Isak unfortunately.

It's a mad game at times.
You cover Steele, Mac, Mitoma and have 3 Newcasyle and still take a major pumping.
How many games is this over months now where Newc have pumped a team yet conceded 1!
Odds on they cleanie next game when I bench their back boys.

Wilson C 48 points
Isak C 14
What a shitshow
Isak C 14
What a shitshow
Until next week...roll on the summer.
Just saw the final score. feckin Wilson
Had I had and put the armband on Wilson instead of Isak, that’s a 34 point swing, which was the difference between me being in the top 100k and 200k
Surely Haaland plays to clinch the league and then he's rested mid-week?
ah feck it. That Wilson haul probably destroyed my ML season.
Will bring in Bruno now and captain him. Nothing to loose now.

From 6 million to top 500k in 10 weeks.... what a dreadful season bookended with some cup runs 
137 (-4) points in GW36. Risen to 1st and 2nd in my two MLs. 30 points to make up on my rival. I have BB, he doesn’t. Game on!
5 points separate the top 3 in my ML.
Top has Bruno, Rashford and Shaw. I have no United assets.
I'm thinking there's two options;
Bruno and Garnacho in for a -4
Antony and Garnacho in for a -4
I can't do Bruno and Antony as I'm annoyingly 0.1M short!
He also has McAllister vs my March hence I'm probably siding more towards the diff & turbo-diff option!
Thoughts?

What does your team look like?
I'm sorry, but I don't think a -4 will do the trick for you here. Why on earth would you go anywhere near Antony? He's literally a horrible FPL pick, with 1 goal and 2 assists since September. March will not play another minute this season and is blocking your way to a 3rd Brighton player, Garnacho has played 8 minutes the last 2 months and your oppos will have several more doublers than you. You must either close your eyes and hope for a differential miracle or take some hits.
I had a good GW and a solid green arrow, but it could have been much better with the armband on Wilson in stead of Isakand/or Shaw in for Grealish. At least it got me in the top 5k and solidified my lead in all my minis.
The team looks like this going into GW37:
Steele (Kepa)
Shaw, Estupinan, TAA (Tripps, Tarkowski)
Bruno, Rashford, Grealish, Mitoma, Salah
Haaland (C), Wilson (Isak)
1,1M in the bank and 1 free transfer. Do I go KDB for Salah, just sit with it or go for a differential like an Arsenal mid/Jesus? For some reason I still have my WC left and plan to use it in GW38 to get the max out of that.
Any thoughts?
Ok so I have two options:
Option 1: use 1 free transfer
STEELE
Trent, SHAW, Trippier
Salah, RASHY, MITOMA, MAC10, GREALISH
HAALAND, ALVAREZ
Subs: Kepa, Isak, Botman, Henry
Option 2: take a -4 hit
STEELE
Trent, SHAW, Trippier
Salah, RASHY, MITOMA, MAC10, BRUNO
HAALAND, Isaak
Subs: Kepa, Solanke, Botman, Henry
Any tips @Sandikan @CassiusClaymore @Moby @paulscholes18 @Andycoleno9 @anyone?

I'm checked out for this season chico. On the beach both figuratively and literally.
Some of us have MLs to win so stop checking out that hot girl (spoiler: she's got a partner) and fecking help me.I'm checked out for this season chico. On the beach both figuratively and literally.
So who are we captaining in 37? Playing it safe with Haaland or risking Bruno
Both options looks good. I think Newcastle will run over Leicester and Bruno is a great pick, but I also think Alvarez might be a really good differential, so it's a tricky one. I think I might have gone with the extra fixture and not taking the hit, but I have a WC to play in GW38 so I can juggle more than you.
Right now my WC team for 38 looks like this:
Ramsdale (Steele)
TAA, Robertson, Tarkowski/Mitchell (Patterson, Amartey)
Bruno, Rashford, Eze, Ødegaard, Salah
Haaland, Kane (C) (Greenwood)
Haven't decided on Mitchell or Tarkowski yet. Any thoughts?
Has to be Tarkow right? More attacking threat and more need to get points.
No City defender? Stones? Also Isak seems a waste. I benched him for next week. He has one game and plays on the wing.
First team looks better.
I also considered just swapping Grealish to Mahrez but the latter has burnt me so much over the years I funny think I can do it
Well I'm either dumping Isak for Alvarez or rolling. I'd be more inclined to take the hit if I was going to captain Bruno but let's face it we're all capping Haaland again aren't we.
Bus team for me currently is
DDG
Estu Shaw TAA
Macbench Mitoma Rashy Salah Grealish
Haaland Wilson
Subs : Raya, Isaak, Trippier, Gabriel
Will wait and see what team my cup opponent has and try to outflank them.
fecking Wilson ruined my rank. I dropped outside 10k which is my main goal now (lets be real, no way that i will have this kind of season next year ).
Anyway i took a hit -8 for next week. 9 doubles, Raya and Salah.(Trent and Trips benched
).
Raya
Estu, Stones, Shaw
Mitoma, Mahrez, Salah, Rashy, Bruno
Enciso, Haaland
Iversen, Trent, Trips, Isak
So many things can (and will) go wrong.

I have a feeling that Pep will tear us apart with his decisions in this double. We are fecked with any City player.I also considered just swapping Grealish to Mahrez but the latter has burnt me so much over the years I funny think I can do it
I'll be in and out before the partner is back from ordering drinks.
I'll go with the first. No hit. Alvarez gangbang.
Is Alvarez a better pick than Grealish this week? Has to be right? No way am I benching TAA, Salah or Wilson so it would have to be him or one of the Brighton muppets but they've got 2 home games and I don't see Mac getting benched again now.
Grealish is basically a SGW most likely whereas Alvarez has chance to play both or at least one full and fair few minutes in the other. I might have them both and playing both as Isak has been pushed out wide.
Although Mitoma has been useless and might get benched too...
He really has. Only brought him in this week as he was an easy swap from March and covered me as everyone else seemed to have him. Was killing me every other week when I didn't own him. Turd.
Upgrade Grealish to Mahrez maybe. Wildcard in 38 is gonna be fun. You can go differential central.
He is, but that probably defines 'differential', doesn't it?
There's lots of potential there with Antony but of course that doesn't necessarily translate to points.If City weren't on the cusp of winning the league I'd go there instead, whereas you'd imagine we'll still have something to play for next Sunday.
Ceiling is also much higher in our midfield department than anywhere else so don't fancy going in on DDG.
Team is currently;
Raya (Kepa)
Tripps, Estupinan, TAA (Zouma, Henry)
Saka, Willock, Mitoma, Salah (March)
Haaland (C), Wilson, Alvarez
3.5M in the bank. Saka is definitely gone and March also. Willock can sit it out on the bench.
It's a horrible team on paper but I've been chasing and now, I'm right back in the mix. The sacrifice was going without United since 34.
I guess for a one week punt, KBD works, although I don't see much in it between him and Salah as I don't expect much in it minutes wise, despite the extra fixture.
If you didn't have the WC I'd have rolled!
I think Bruno is worth a -4 I will be bringing him in and making him captain.
It just feels wrong bringing him in for a hit, reducing one DGW player and also having to play Isak...
Mate if it feels wrong then don't do it. You'll be more annoyed if you do and it goes tits up.
