Fpl 23/24

Almost bought Gordon in last week because was going to my brother-in-laws house to watch the game and his wife is Geordie

Went the sensible pick instead of Luis Diaz lol

Anyway this week Free Hit, next week Wildcard, might not even play Diaz again

Congrats FH34 users, definitely won this week

So annoyed with myself switching to BB34 when I was on WC31, lost so many points missing out on Isak/Gordon and this week

Bench boost has gone good with 13 + 4 fixtures but only 2 returns in my starting 11 and no Palace attackers (after planning Semenyo to Mateta all week)

I don’t post much in this thread since I’m terrible at this game.

But this week has been quite something

Missed my usual number of gameweek deadlines once it starts getting furious but check this for a debacle.

Missed the gameweek 33 deadline by about 30 mins but didn't realise it, while I was fucking around trying to see what was going on I accidently hit the TC chip.......so not only did I not pick up the players I wanted I also hamstrung myself this week with only 1 transfer and TC on Salah who was on the bench for the first game I was all set to play the WC this week too (Eze and Mateta top of the list)

Also missed the GW32 deadline so lost a free transfer.

I am so bad at this once NRLF starts

Imagine getting punished by Everton players

What a fucking GW hahaha

123 points on BB and still thinking what could have been as was going to do Semenyo to Mateta all week but didn’t and triple Liverpool was awful

Pickford and Branthwaite repaying the faith after the combined -1 last week

Ended up with 24 point BB, 44 if Haaland shows up (as Branthwaite would technically be a starter)

Triple captain Salah

My FH was OK, but I made mistakes. After C on Salah and leaving Mateta 29 points on the bench, my gut reaction is to sell Salah and Saka for the run in. Is that stupid?

I'm playing my WC this week, and I've sold Salah and Saka (and all my other Liverpool and Arsenal assets), if that's any help to you.

Yes, that helps thanks, I was wondering if I was reacting too quickly

I did it by accident as well

Was difficult finding a few PODs on WC trying to make up points in a cash league. As expected the guys ahead of me went fully template with their WC.

Ended up with Watkins over Jackson which also meant Garnacho instead of Fernandes. Ait Nouri mainly for his matchup this week and started Haaland, and Ederson instead of a DGW keeper.

We shall see

That front 8 template was boring AF

I went one Newcastle attacker (Gordon) which has likely backfired

Then 2nd Spurs attack instead - wanted Richarlison, played safe with Johnson

Took Hojlund rather than Bruno (couldn’t afford Watkins)

So far, so bad but let’s play it out and see where it goes

What was the front-8 template?

On WC, especially with BB for GW37 left, all the youtubers, websites, twitter etc. were going

Son Palmer Bruno Foden Gordon
Haaland Isak Jackson

Foden and Bruno going big in GW34 just solidified it

Yes. They were my front 8.

So it looks like I’m going to bottle a 30 point lead after Gvardiol has got 42 points in the last 3 weeks

brought him in on BB this week, but was not expecting 21 points wtf.

watched the game and he was basically playing like an advanced left winger with minimal defending to do - mad

looks like a 3 way battle for 1st but I think 35 points behind you is a little too far..... do you have BB left ?

No I did BB34 so FH was last chip and it’s been disaster so far 

I have quite a few differentials for 38 (Havertz, Watkins) but Watkins was dogshit in 36

GW35 moves ruined me as I early rage transferred Diaz and VVD to Son and Burn when Gvardiol was right there

I’ve charged to 6thin this league as of now, but left it all a bit late. The second time I sold Saka was one too many - 15 and 15 those two GWs. Then late it’s been going good but lost about 30pts in two decisions even when climbing ranks. Shows how crazy the variance is in it though
