Who was MOTM?


soccerfan765

Miki


KdbTheGOAT17

Damn i was correct but dont own him


soccerfan765

Inter defenders were ridiculous value, 3 of them under 4.6 and got plenty of returns


Swedishpower

Yeah got the 3 cheapest ones now. Just annoying I did not keep Di Marco when he was a doubt to start for leg 2 in round of 16.


KdbTheGOAT17

Same here unlucky with him


FaustRPeggi

I feel so dumb. I made my transfer plans for the round straight after the quarter finals, and I planned to bring in two defenders from each side of Milan, and Leao. So when Leao was out I bought Lautaro. But I kept the 2-2 defender split instead of shifting one or both for diMarco and Dumfries. One of the small decisions you need to get right when margins are as tight as they are in a 4 team round.


KdbTheGOAT17

I went 3:1 split i wanted theo atleast


KdbTheGOAT17

Just got them too late


KdbTheGOAT17

69 points with just 12 man was good


cirohmelo

63 with 12 here Captain Lautaro in the end 🥲


KdbTheGOAT17

It was kinda unlucky he was already given a pen. Could have been big haul if it stayed thank god it wasnt though for my rank


Swedishpower

64 with 13. Big difference I guess is Haaland/Lautaro cap for me vs KDB. The only concern now is the lack of money to get the players I want. Mainly Onana as 4th defensive Inter pick.


KdbTheGOAT17

Unlucky with lautaro mate. I have problem with money too if dzeko plays not that much


Swedishpower

Well I said before I thought it be a low scoring game and did bet under 2.5 goals haha so maybe I did contradict myself. Just did not want to go all in for the clean in case it was high scoring. I think I like never captained defenders ever in fantasy except Serie A fantasy where defenders like Theo are so good.


Swedishpower

Not great Inter clearly better. Got the 3 Inter cleans, but another captain blank. Maybe the lesson is to cap defenders or even keepers. Milan really poor though. Kind of boring that the only chance to gain at this stage is to load up at a def or get lucky with a random low owned pick like Mkhitaryan score or nail the captain from the picks everyone got. Need Onana for next round, but no cash. Grealish vs Rodrygo to downgrade. Probably Grealish to Rodri, but Rodri is not a great attacking threat at all. Rodrigyo to Valverde maybe better, but I def prefer Rodrygo.


Esse_Hole

How is it boring? Boring is playing it safe and have a Madrid defender, a City defender, Theo and Inter defense. Picking a differential that returns it's a great move. Talking about luck when there are only 2 games to analyze and predict is shameful.


Swedishpower

Well the fewer teams there is the harder to gain. There is not lots of good picks to get so it is kind of boring. If you have 1 defender you want that one to fail in all games. If you got 2 you almost want them to concede anyway. Half your lineup you want to fail due to others gaining more if they do well. Vini and KDB for example I lost rank from doing well. In PL with Haaland unless you captain you want to fail, but at least you gain from the rest even if tiny and some defs unless double up you want to fail. Basically my team for rank gain was hoping Haaland, Grealish, Inter def and Lautaro doing well and hope for recoveries etc for all my defenders.


KdbTheGOAT17

I would have gone more inter but the main problem is I already had stones and ederson and I had multiple players out


KdbTheGOAT17

How so de bruyne cap gained nicely for me


Esse_Hole

Lucky. Shouldn't be MOTM


KdbTheGOAT17

Even without the motm would have been good


Esse_Hole

Yeah, like Vini. But for us, I think it's okay to be bitter, as Vini was better and deserved MOTM. Should have 12 points. 6 points at this stage is very big


KdbTheGOAT17

Its 3 point just assuming everyone has both


Esse_Hole

Yeah


Swedishpower

Yeah as I said if you go differential with cap you can gain, but Haaland is far superior in general so you betting against the better pick. Haaland has more goals and more points in all fantasy games so if you expect City to score I see no reason to bet against him. Vini though I could have picked as he is flying in CL.


KdbTheGOAT17

With no bonus points and motm haaland is less great


Swedishpower

Still better though. I know you is KDB fanboy, but if you gone KDB most times this season then Haaland would have outscored him. Only advantage is Man of the match for KDB, but with different guy given it Haaand could get it too.


KdbTheGOAT17

This is first time I captained kdb but I can feel him scoring on those hard games always unlike haaland


Swedishpower

Fair enough I had and have KDB in PL and he let me down every week. Had him for like 10 weeks in total and no goals scored. So you saying with KDB you should bet against him in the easy games and go for him in harder ones? KDB scoring is quite good money you recommend a bet when he plays a top team like Arsenal, Real etc?


KdbTheGOAT17

For fpl he costs too much for the value compared to salah and kane


Swedishpower

I agree had just had him for the doubles really.


KdbTheGOAT17

The thing is I did also bet him to score but with city win too so got nothing. He just feels to perform in those harder games more often


Swedishpower

ooh annoying. I agree with you he is often playing well in big games, but not sure it necessary gives more points all the time although can give man of the match more than Haaland. I think if his rate of scoring is higher against bigger teams which based on the stats I think it has been this season then there is some money to make. Although I only bet very tiny amount. Still think chance is bigger he assist Haaland then score himself though.


KdbTheGOAT17

Yea but assist + motm is better than goal for me


FaustRPeggi

Pep had KDB running beyond Haaland in the Arsenal game and that's what convinced me to go KDB. He often plays second striker in the biggest matches.


Hykha

Excited for Inter CS before realizing everyone around had more Inter GK/DEFs than me. Painful


KdbTheGOAT17

How many u have


Hykha

2 only


KdbTheGOAT17

3 inter cs and barella is decent for today


Esse_Hole

4 Inter CS, not bad. Milan should've scored, but they don't have great players for a game like this, especially without Leão, so it was a good choice going all in on Inter. A shame that UEFA MOTM are complete bullshit because my team would be in a better place with me having Vini as captain.


PlavacMali11

Who was MOTM today for you?


Esse_Hole

Mkhitaryan that only played 60 minutes 😂 Barella and Bastoni had great games troughout


KdbTheGOAT17

Mkhi were great for the 60 mins best player on pitch


Esse_Hole

He was, but Barella and Bastoni had great games too and played the full game. If he had played 75, ok, fine, but Barella was still roaming around the whole pitch in the 90th minute and Bastoni was great defensively and excellent on the ball till the end. Either way, this is the problem. MOTM shouldn't be on Fantasy, it's always up for debate


KdbTheGOAT17

True motm award sucks but if its barella or bastoni great for my team


KdbTheGOAT17

Bastoni was great, so him or mkhi probably


Esse_Hole

Barella or Bastoni


husny_almubarak

(C) Dimarco let's fucking gooooo


FaustRPeggi

Decided to get two defenders from each team instead of stacking Inter and I probably should have reconsidered with Leao out and the Milan fans so pessimistic. I got Tomori and Calabria instead of diMarco which was really dumb in hindsight.


Last_Comparison_1274

Captained vini also had de Bruyne and Dias - scoreeeeeee - going well :))


Swedishpower

Not great start. Think nothing I could have really done other than not buying Rodrygo and going for Rodri with additional point. I did not have money for Dias and I am stuck with Ederson over Courtois. Now up to Lautaro and Inter def to save this round. I kind of want Milan to win though, but I hopefully either do Ok in fantasy or Milan wins so no real joy although if I get a goal from Lautaro and Milan scores from Theo who I own it is the best . Think Inter look stronger recently.


cirohmelo

To be honest, now realizing that Courtois stole KDB’s girlfriend once , you gotta give some credit to the ginger dude


actionactioncut

The timeline is that KDB cheated on his girl with her friend, told her it was over with the friend and begged for forgiveness, she took him back, then he cheated with the friend again, then the girlfriend cried on Courtois's shoulder about it, and Courtois make her a nice dinner and slept with her. So credit to... no one? Courtois maybe for being a good cook?


Esse_Hole

Another shitty MOTM. These UEFA guys don't watch the same games that we watch. Vini was way better and also scored and Camavinga was everywhere. The only doubt was between the two Madrid players. What a fucking joke once again


araffan94

Camavinga lost the ball that resulted in Man City goal, no way he was MOTM


KdbTheGOAT17

The fact that people still doesnt rate kdb is insane. Him grealish and ederson were the ones that kept us in the game. Well deserved motm


wilson32dm

Just because people don't think he deserved MOTM, doesn't mean we don't rate him. Another stupid statement from the man with the most downvotes on this subreddit. Vini was the deserving winner.


KdbTheGOAT17

People doesnt rate him enough if u dont understand how great he was today, other attackers were so bad. And why if im wrong the sofascore match ratings and people that chose the motm also agree kdb were better. But I guess people either did captain vini or have so much city bias so they cant accept when city player do well.


ebk09

Whoscored.com: Vini (8.1), KdB (7.6) Fotmob: Vini (8.1), KdB (7.3) Goal.com: Vini (9/10), KdB (8/10)


KdbTheGOAT17

Well fine we can agree then some think kdb was the best and some vini was, but neither of them were a bad pick


wilson32dm

Don't bother lad. This guy is delusional and has absolutely zero ball knowledge. Talks nothing but shite on this and the premier league fantasy sub.


KdbTheGOAT17

U are the guy who said me I should bench rashford in next gw and you keep saying I have no ball knowledge haha


wilson32dm

Ah yeah, just provide zero context and exclude the other 90% of what I said. Good lad.


FaustRPeggi

Lautaro, Darmian, Onana v Tomori, Calabria. 0-0 would be a dream.


KdbTheGOAT17

Same for me with barella dimarco bastoni hernandez and acerbi.


FaustRPeggi

22 point KDB is absolutely massive. Glad I didn't chicken out and go for Haaland or Benz.


cirohmelo

MOTM?


SoaringDiscomfort

It's KDB, would prefer it to be my captain Vini.


ebk09

Got to be Vini


cirohmelo

KDB won it


KdbTheGOAT17

Got to be kdb


ebk09

Nah, he was quite poor for the majority of the game Edit: But you were right, they gave it to him


cirohmelo

Agreed , Vini was definitely better… but Haaland is my captain, so whatever 🥲


ebk09

I have both KdB and Vini, but went Vini (c) :(


KdbTheGOAT17

Did u even watch the game


ebk09

Yes, Vinicius completed 11 take ons and didn't lose possession at all. Kevin and City were bad for most of the game. Just 0.4 xG


KdbTheGOAT17

I agree we sucked but kdb were great today. Bernardo was awful and haaland got no service


ebk09

> haaland got no service Exactly, they couldn't get KdB on the ball. I can't remember any extraordinary thing he did in this game other than the goal. Vini was part of every dangerous attack from Real, and mostly he created something out of nothing


KdbTheGOAT17

Kdb is not the only player that should pass the ball to haaland. He controlled the game and posession for us. And im not stating vini was bad, he played also great


ebk09

Hopefully Vini can get 25 take ons next game and he might win it 🤞


KdbTheGOAT17

Not the performance what we wanted but atleast kdb and ederson perform in big games as always. And kdb captain paid off


RomeMe1122

ended up doing Rodrygo -Theo over De Bruyne - Kjaer/Calabria


FaustRPeggi

Captain KDB has actually paid off.


husny_almubarak

Bald Fraud thought hogging the possession will be enough This isn't Southampton


KdbTheGOAT17

We lost to soton by playing this barca ball thank god second half were better


KdbTheGOAT17

We are playing so shit, also carvajal is a fucking clown he should join championship team and see what is actual physical game


Mousse_Defiant

get some professional help, bro


KdbTheGOAT17

Im talking facts


__mihajlo_m

Cry😹😹😹


husny_almubarak

Take a Bow Vini


husny_almubarak

Courtois already with 4 saves
