Apart from being a lucky bastard, my strategy is really about trying to find gaps in the template or players who aren't that highly owned. I always sense check though. Am I trying to be different for the sake of it? If the answer is yes then I likely won't go that player. Stats are typically key for me but I use the eye test when I can. When I see a player with good stats and fixtures, I add them to the watchlist. The focus is on getting rid of my weak links and I'll find a replacement from my watchlist so I don't succumb to whims. I'm a major fan of rolling free transfers most weeks. Not afraid of a hit though. Hope this might be helpful
Nope. Do own Toney who's a bit of a differential. I like Nacho and Maddison. Fixtures a bit hard though. I think Felix might be really good for the coning weeks. Monitoring some cheap options I'll need in 25 like Bailey. Bournemouth's attack is pretty spicy as well though bad fixtures. Outtara and Traore look like solid players not sure if they're picks just yet but they're on the watchlist. Trent also very high on my list
I think I hate Ederson as a person now. Which goalkeeper gets booked for time wasting in the fucking first half? Not to mention he then gives a penalty away, points where Saka should shoot and then goes the fucking opposite direction. Absolute scumbag.
Well at least remove one of the newcastle players this week, that sets you up for 4 bgw-players with a hit come 25 or 10 playing. Schär or Almiron. How is your bench?
Same points and same goals scored as my cup opponent, out on goals conceded. That one fuckin' stings, especially with Toney and Shaw on the bench, which I guess I can only blame myself for
Yours is worse than mine. They won by a point but I’d have been through by goals scored. Benched the same guys as you.
Last week, I was out by two points to someone who TC-ed Rash as I only capped him. Margins.
Chelsea sack managers who win them the CL and PL after they take a dip in form.
Potter has done nothing to keep his place.
This American owner is more patient but he won't hold out for long.
After seven green arrows in a row this was bound to happen. GW rank of 8.4 million and a big fat red arrow (130k to 280k). Fuck you all and see you next gameweek.
I feel my team has hit the point when Idk anymore if my team is good or bad, it's usually a WC warning sign but still has to navigate 6 GWs till WC'ing so it's still so early
Thank you De Bruyne. A nice parting gift. I can't really believe I'm going to be selling you so I can get Iwobi in instead, but hey, that's how it goes.
Yeah, but I need to free up the KDB money in order to make those moves and to bring in some LIV players for their double. I'm on schedule to field a full 11 in GW25 (or 10, depending if Walker starts that week).
Need to be more aggressive. Game is getting boring.
Wanted to bring in a second City mid but saved the transfer and played Martinelli.
Every option I considered hauled. Gundo, Mahrez and Grealish.
Was learning mostly to Gundo.
I think Dias is back to stay but yeah I guess.
46 Touches
30 Accurate Passes
83.3% Pass Accuracy
4 Blocked Shots
4 Ground Duels Won
2 Tackles
1 Aerial Duel Won
1 Accurate Long Ball
FMLFPL have been saying this for a few weeks, and Ederson's sheer ineptitude at every single facet of his job has proven them wrong. I saw a lot of City fans in their sub last week calling for Ortega to start in the league.
Absolute disaster week. 7 blanks in my team, gambles not paying off (Isak), Strikers not scoring (Kane, Isak), defenders not starting now (White, Akanji, Wan Bissaka), players not performing (Martinelli) ffs end this season now
I'm bringing Salah in for Bruno next, probably just in time for the double.
Very sideways moves that I usually wouldn't do, but my team was pretty good and I had no real over moves to make.
I maybe would have been better off bringing in Everton/Wolves assets for gw25, but honestly I think it's better to prioritise the right premiums.
I mean Salah to KDB was obviously the right move since we didn’t have information of Liverpool’s DGW before the deadline but I wouldn’t really say that the move “paid off”….you only gained 4 points out of it but have lost 2 FTs (given you’re planning to bring Salah back) which are worth 8 points
Like I said, usually I wouldn’t because of what you explained , but I genuinely don’t need the transfers rn so I make it work.
This is also all on KDB only beating Salah by 4. That was probably the minimum I needed to make it work, and I would have bet KDB outscored him by more.
I'd like to move on but with the DGW25 and other blanks coming up hard to see it being feasible to use a transfer to get someone else unless it's for a hit which I'd prefer not to do.
90% red arrow. 25 points off my safety score.
Deciding against reversing Kev to Bruno for a hit cost me 8 points.
Benching Shaw for Botman cost me 11 points.
Not moving Martinelli to Saka for a hit cost me 6 points.
That adds up to 25. So a -8 would have paid off and got me my safety score, as reckless as it would have felt.
Don't be a dickhead. Best defence in the league away to one of the lowest scorers, versus a defender for a team who have played twice a week for a month at this point, missing Casemiro. It was a tight call I got wrong, but it could easily have gone the other way.
United are actually saucing against Barca, somehow with Weghorst and Fred playing as number 10s. Game really feels like a CL knockout fixture..
I lost less rank for Salah, Darwin, Trent, Alisson returning than I did for KdB's haul yesterday. What an absolute bonkers gameweek
Also fuck you you fucking Macaulay Culkin wannabe Belgian cunt
I was 1.1m in GW16. I'm currently 41k. Can't believe my luck. Around 2k in the second chance league
Whats ur secret
Apart from being a lucky bastard, my strategy is really about trying to find gaps in the template or players who aren't that highly owned. I always sense check though. Am I trying to be different for the sake of it? If the answer is yes then I likely won't go that player. Stats are typically key for me but I use the eye test when I can.

I'm a major fan of rolling free transfers most weeks. Not afraid of a hit though. Hope this might be helpful
Got any Leicester lads?
Nope. Do own Toney who's a bit of a differential. I like Nacho and Maddison. Fixtures a bit hard though. I think Felix might be really good for the coning weeks. Monitoring some cheap options I'll need in 25 like Bailey. Bournemouth's attack is pretty spicy as well though bad fixtures. Outtara and Traore look like solid players not sure if they're picks just yet but they're on the watchlist. Trent also very high on my list
Yeah this feels like a good week to hold and roll a transfer to get the right picks for 25. GL mate
Saka (C) was great. Arsenal fan with KDB and Haaland in his squad is saaaaad but at least I have points? God, I just don’t want to feel
Should have accounted for the fact that Nketiah isn’t a good finisher before I brought him in 🤦♀️
bUt HiS nUmBeRs
I think I hate Ederson as a person now. Which goalkeeper gets booked for time wasting in the fucking first half? Not to mention he then gives a penalty away, points where Saka should shoot and then goes the fucking opposite direction. Absolute scumbag.
Good with his feet though /s
One glance and Odegaards game log and you can see he doesn't perform against the top 6. Could be useful in GW25 tho
would it be a good idea to use my free hit in GW25 if I have 7 players that are going to blank?
There will be better game weeks for that but 7 players is quite a lot.
they're quality too so it's not like I'd prefer to wildcard it either raya, toney, shaw, rashford, trippier, schär, almiron
Remove Toney and Schär. Bring back Toney for 27. You can easily field 10 players which should be fine
Well at least remove one of the newcastle players this week, that sets you up for 4 bgw-players with a hit come 25 or 10 playing. Schär or Almiron. How is your bench?
bench is ward, almiron, neco, castagne guess I'll list the rest of my squad - haaland, kane, saka, odegaard, martinelli
Hmm, maybe a wildcard is the best bet anyway, you can drop martinelli, get rid of two newcastle and maybe Raya (he's good) bring in Salah, etc
Just want to know where all the Odegaard owners are after celebrating Martinellis early sub in the first game.
Anyone know who was going to take the penalty between mahrez and haaland?
Same points and same goals scored as my cup opponent, out on goals conceded. That one fuckin' stings, especially with Toney and Shaw on the bench, which I guess I can only blame myself for
Yours is worse than mine. They won by a point but I’d have been through by goals scored. Benched the same guys as you. Last week, I was out by two points to someone who TC-ed Rash as I only capped him. Margins.
Which Man city mid would you get ? (Not KDB) Is Graelich an option ?
Wtf do I do with Martinelli?
Dump him for Saka if you don't have him. If not, Odegaard or Mitoma after the blank.
Im dead-ending the team in gw 27 so im keeping. Might even get more points from him if he comes on in the 60 th..
That walk off by kdb getting shit thrown at him by the fans was sick
Graham potter pisses me off
sackable imo
Surely they won’t sack him after just getting his transfer targets. Sounds awfully familiar
Chelsea sack managers who win them the CL and PL after they take a dip in form. Potter has done nothing to keep his place. This American owner is more patient but he won't hold out for long.
How the actual fuck is my safety score as high as 80pts?
79 here
Only 77 points...stinker of a gw.
Quite confused as to why this guy got downvoted lol
Lol what a loser
Next gw all I need is danny ward play like prime buffon
Martinelli is dead to me
ghosted 2nd half
Bruno to ode did not have the desire impact. At least saka,kdb,shaw,toney saves the gameweek for green arrow.
After seven green arrows in a row this was bound to happen. GW rank of 8.4 million and a big fat red arrow (130k to 280k). Fuck you all and see you next gameweek.
similarly here. 4 greens in a row and had a GW rank of 5.2 million....
Thats the spirit! Get fucked m8!
Mitrovic has screwed me over for the last time. Should never have brought him back after the world Cup. Cue his hatrick next gw
Thanks mate, mitro haul would come in handy. He is been so bad recently
I never dropped him when everyone around me in my league moved to nketiah. Its been a tough month or so 😂
Same here but atleast got saka instead so it was gain
I never did that either. Martinelli and odegaard for me. Not a total loss but still the wrong choices
Why the hell have 50 k transferred in Ben Mee ahead of gw 24?
People that pick their players via form on the site. Mee is probably first on that
18 points less than my safety score. Dropped 150%. GW rank of 7.8 million... Somebody hold me...
What's safety score?
It's the points that you must get not to get a red arrow. Different for different people, depending on your rank.
Got it but where do you find that score?
Go to livefpl.net and key in your team ID. It is really good. Lots of information there. The developer is a regular on this sub too.
Noted
75% rank decrease while benching Toney and Shaw is painful At least KDB came through in the end
Saka and Mahrez saved my from a much bigger fall while benching those two you mentioned
Greenwood coming on gave my cup rival a +1 advantage over me…damn!
I feel my team has hit the point when Idk anymore if my team is good or bad, it's usually a WC warning sign but still has to navigate 6 GWs till WC'ing so it's still so early
Will bueno ever play, would fancy playing him the next 2 but no idea will he start
See how thier next match goes and decide after, i already have him so im gambling either way on the DGW, but dunno if its worth to buy
Played well when he came on vs Southampton so should start
Against Bournemouth…spicy
lmao since the restart Ederson now has conceded 9 goals and only made 8 saves. Kepa has conceded 5 and made 24 saves...
Who’s more likely to start next gameweek? Bueno or Akanji?
Didn't watch the game but I read that Bueno looked much better when he came on than Ait Nouri
!thanks
Akanji as cl comes
Thanks! But Dane said you have a very low OR
Damn…Jesus Christ, woman! An OR doesn’t mean he can’t have a good prediction
Idk whats very low but at 400k currently not the best jut still better than most content creators
Decent gw was worth selling rashford but should have kept and played shaw
Hope Arsenal miss out on top 4 entirely, fucking losers
Spurs are too bad to climb that difference. Same with liverpool
Never said it would be either of those teams
Who then
Lost 12pts and 30k ranks. KDB's 15pts prevented a disaster here, could have been 300k red arrow easily
Thank you De Bruyne. A nice parting gift. I can't really believe I'm going to be selling you so I can get Iwobi in instead, but hey, that's how it goes.
Don't go Iwobi. You'll regret it.
It's him or McNeil and I think Iwobi is more nailed. And it's only until GW28 anyway.
That's a horrible move. You don't have players that blank in 25 to get rid of instead?
Yeah, but I need to free up the KDB money in order to make those moves and to bring in some LIV players for their double. I'm on schedule to field a full 11 in GW25 (or 10, depending if Walker starts that week).
now do we go Lewis round 2 by benching trippier and starting Lewis 😆👀
No. Bench Lewis, so I can enjoy Akanji CS
Absolutely not. Selling him for Kilman
Forgot to switch Captain from Rashford to Haaland. Feels like I dodged a bullet. It’s been a long GW.
Seasons finally looking up. Unfortunately KDB scored big for me in the wrong game (Arsenal fan) but him and Saka took me to 350k OR, tonight.
Lol on replay when Kev pointed and made eye contact with Mikel, Arteta dropped his head and looked away. We know who fucks there.
Nice one Pep. Kept Lewis on the bench for both matches for those sweet estupinian 7 pointer.
Need to be more aggressive. Game is getting boring. Wanted to bring in a second City mid but saved the transfer and played Martinelli. Every option I considered hauled. Gundo, Mahrez and Grealish. Was learning mostly to Gundo.
I agree were not getting any rank until started doing something else like sellin foden to mahrez at the gw20 and now selling rashford to get saka in.
Yeah I'm jus hovering outside and its annoying. Rather take a chance or two now.
Arsenal attempting 522 passes (436 successful) against 301 (219)…the uno reserve card
Odegaard has reverted to the guy Madrid sold.
Ode turned to shit since I got him💩
Guess we still have to hold its annoying ugh
Martinelli outscored Odeegard lol
Pyrrhic victory.
https://ibb.co/p4GY6XJ Onwards and upwards bby
City will go on its clean sheet run starting this weekend. It usually coincides with the return of CL where they play the league games conservatively.
I don’t believe it since I have Ederson
It does to really help cause you dont know who will play
I think Dias is back to stay but yeah I guess. 46 Touches 30 Accurate Passes 83.3% Pass Accuracy 4 Blocked Shots 4 Ground Duels Won 2 Tackles 1 Aerial Duel Won 1 Accurate Long Ball
FMLFPL have been saying this for a few weeks, and Ederson's sheer ineptitude at every single facet of his job has proven them wrong. I saw a lot of City fans in their sub last week calling for Ortega to start in the league.
He is horrible but the next few teams wont even get one shot on goal
Ederson will find a way I assure you.
yeah probably
I was right. Ederson was shite.
he is straight trash
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 What is the above ( P.S Its not binary code )
Whites points when I play him and same with luke shaw, When I dont have then they always haul
Foden
👍 and I owned the useless cunt for most of those
While Almiron was on my bench
Ederson?
I absolutely loathe Ederson, you can check my comment history for proof, but he did get a clean sheet a few GWs ago tbf
Absolute disaster week. 7 blanks in my team, gambles not paying off (Isak), Strikers not scoring (Kane, Isak), defenders not starting now (White, Akanji, Wan Bissaka), players not performing (Martinelli) ffs end this season now
Rico you legend, keep that seat warm
Wonder what reactionary threads we'll see about DeBruyne this week.
What’s everyone at to end the week?
81 and small green
99 and 50% green arrow :)
90% red arrow, for which I'm getting downvoted. This thread is fucking odd.
GWR of 15k last week, 4.7 mil this week. Just FPL things
Grealish!!! The English Mbappe!! Never doubt you!
Can't wait till I can get Walker out my team
I can't do it until maybe GW29 as I have more fires to put out, but at least now I have some hope that he might actually play during that blank GW28.
Getting the 50/50 of either Saka or Nketiah right is the only reason I’m not far worse…it could probably have been 400k+ rank lost
At least he got an assist, I got Odegaard over Saka and he blanked twice
Ode has given me only an assist since I brought him in my WC
Yeah he’s been frustrating, not having Saka is killing me right now. Have White/Ode/Eddie smh
The issue is I can’t waste transfers on Arsenal players when there are blanks coming up. I’m trying to save my FT for 29
Same but I may be forced to use one on White if he loses his starting place
Let’s see if he starts next week. I think he will. I also have an Akanji problem — a waste of transfer (hit)
Ah those sweet sweet Luke Shaw bench points loading to screw my mini league rivals. Life is good.
Inside 500k for the first time this season 🎉
My Salah to KDB transfer just about worked out.
does he know
I'm bringing Salah in for Bruno next, probably just in time for the double. Very sideways moves that I usually wouldn't do, but my team was pretty good and I had no real over moves to make. I maybe would have been better off bringing in Everton/Wolves assets for gw25, but honestly I think it's better to prioritise the right premiums.
I mean Salah to KDB was obviously the right move since we didn’t have information of Liverpool’s DGW before the deadline but I wouldn’t really say that the move “paid off”….you only gained 4 points out of it but have lost 2 FTs (given you’re planning to bring Salah back) which are worth 8 points

Mudryk is poop
In the mud
Richard Keys is a fat pink faced plonker
He's busy teaching women the offside rule
[удалено]
You aren’t doing good enough then
[удалено]
Yeah…you need to reevaluate your strategy
Nice work bud!
Wow. Sneaky comment almost unnoticed I'll take a look once the league updates
FPL illuminati
What are White owners doing after benching tonight, keep or sell?
Keep did u see tomiyasu play today. He was horrible no way white doesnt start next
Got too many bandages to put on my sinking boat. White stays for now
I'd like to move on but with the DGW25 and other blanks coming up hard to see it being feasible to use a transfer to get someone else unless it's for a hit which I'd prefer not to do.
I'll probably switch him out in a double transfer for GW25 in order to get Saka.
Did you see my man, Tomi play?
if tomiyasu actually pwrformed well i would be worried but i am not Martinelli is the one i am worried about
Tomiyasu's performance was such that I think I'll hold.
Mate, I have way bigger fires to put out right now
Deffo keep
Sell all arsenal except saka
No change im sellin anyone from them
Just the -31% rank drop, we'll take it
[удалено]
City will win their remaining PL games. They always do.
Since City beat Arsenal in the FA Cup, Arsenal haven’t won any match — 2L 1D
Ederson is a disaster really. Regret getting him after WC
yeah witching for ray sooner or later
Mudryk 007 loading…
That last minute switch to Nketiah for captaincy was dumb. Should’ve listened to my gut.
Which part of your body suggested you captain Nketiah if not your gut?
My gut said stick to Haaland, my brain went Arsenal at home will mean they’ll be on form and beat City. *circus clown music plays*
Damn just saw the Dortmund goal. That kid ran the entire pitch.
Link?
Gained only 4k places but I don't care. Green is green.
Grealish choice over Mahrez didn't kill me thankfully
Thanks 👍
72% red arrow to 25% red arrow after this game. I’ll take that
Saka captain turned out alright, I think. I’ll take it. 2bps tonight is nice
In other news, Chelsea are still shit
90% red arrow. 25 points off my safety score. Deciding against reversing Kev to Bruno for a hit cost me 8 points. Benching Shaw for Botman cost me 11 points. Not moving Martinelli to Saka for a hit cost me 6 points. That adds up to 25. So a -8 would have paid off and got me my safety score, as reckless as it would have felt.
Martinelli to Saka for a hit didn't seem right, but Shaw benched for Botman who has zero attacking output and playing away ? You deserved that one !
Don't be a dickhead. Best defence in the league away to one of the lowest scorers, versus a defender for a team who have played twice a week for a month at this point, missing Casemiro. It was a tight call I got wrong, but it could easily have gone the other way.
The majority of Botman owners benched him from what I've seen. We just hear about the disaster stories of Shaw being benched making it sound worse
Fábio Borges benched Shaw for Botman.
Borges doesn't even own Trippier so I don't trust his judgement this year
green arrows on a bitch gawtdamn
I'd money on Tomiyasu making 1 foul in this game Man has to mark Grealish, picks up a booking but doesn't concede a foul. Sums up this FPL GW
If I had just capped Haaland (instead of Salah) for his mega hauls last year I would be just outside the top 10k…
