No idea I hadn’t heard of him an hour ago 😆 He’s the 5th most expensive sale from the Belgian league. Some big names on this list!
Yes, assume Wissa will be 1st choice, then Woltemade as the primary backup with Osula playing limited mins
Genk in Belgium
Wissa to Newcastle makes both him and Thiago very interesting!
Wolves have signed Tolu Arokodare for £23m, close to the fee they paid for JSL in July. He’s 6’6” and scored 23 goals for Genk last season 👀
Aaand he’s gone. Never go full JK Rowling
Nice goal from Gruda there btw! Holds off Ruben Dias before rounding Trafford to pass into an empty net. Ice cold 🥶 Shoutout to my guy Minteh for getting the MOTM!
Congrats to Murillo for making a huge 10 recoveries 😐 #fpl
Bruno captainers watching their rank drop back to 8 million today
This guy has got me more points than all my other defenders combined 😭📈🔥
Ah okay, didn’t realise FFS has both Can’t find individual shot xG from Statsbomb, but here are his stats across the 3 shots vs Spurs. Statsbomb 0.25 xG 0.10 PSxG Opta 0.21 xG Opta has his other 2 shots both at 0.02 xG, assume those would be similarly low on Statsbomb
0.17 xG according to FotMob FFscout has it at 0.168
Okay 3 first names guy. Doesn’t mean it’s legal to initiate a war without congressional vote.
Agree although JSL’s high price is a result of Newcastle’s desperation + the fact that Wolves bought him literally last month for €27m Also calling him a backup was probs just a negotiation tactic to try to keep the price lower
JSL was billed as the ‘Wilson replacement’. If Isak goes I expect them to sign another striker as well as Woltemade
That sounds like a mistake made by AI writing with a lazy editing process 🤨
‘Wild card’ originally comes from poker variations in ~1870, where a joker could be substituted for any card. In the early 20th Century it became a common idiom outside card games, meaning ‘an unpredictable factor’.
Yeah fair enough. But Arsenal fullbacks aren’t really an option because of mins risk (yes I am aware Timber and Calafiori are the highest-scoring DEFs in the game 🤣)
Surely one of the Arsenal CBs deserves a shout? Great fixtures from GW7 on, I’m planning to transfer Murillo ➡️ Gabriel then
-> Wolves don’t replace their sales -> £5.9 midfielder playing up front -> All 3 promoted teams in GW 5-9 We will be there 🇰🇷🐺🫡
Yeah I’m in the same boat. Was already planning to bring Cunha in GW6 as part of my Salah-Haaland switch. Might bring that forward to GW3 if we get news about Palmer not starting. I’m hopeful we’ll hear something as they’re the first game this weekend 🤔
LiveFPL shows you the rank lost from each player, which will tell you why you’re on a red arrow despite a decent score. I lost 850k from João Pedro alone 😭
Happy Birthday! Have a good one 😄
Issue with Rich is he’s likely to be in the 🇧🇷 squad. They play Bolivia (at 4000m above sea level btw), less than 4 days before GW4. And then the first two UCL games are between GW4-5 and 5-6. Way too risky for me 😅😅
idk who this is nor do I get recommended his vids, but agree he looks like an FPL mr beast 😆 Have you tried clicking ‘not interested’ and ‘don’t recommend channel’? Reporting as spam should get it out of your algorithm too
Salah, Palmer, Watkins, Bruno, Wirtz Most ppl have 1-2 fewer of these, but I went with them all and cut corners elsewhere 🤷
#FPL GW2 💩21 points with 2 to play 📉8.3 mill live rank 🤢Languishing amongst the casuals in all my ML Still want to trust the process, on another day Bruno scores the pen and it wouldn’t be a NegVar nightmare. Watkins on fraudwatch as Villa have been shit. Will either roll or move Palmer to Cunha 🤔
10 with 7 left 🥲 Although 14 if you count my Palmer auto-sub
30m in the bank team is currently 1 million places above the main team 😭😆
When do they start doing the points? 🥲
New season, same grammatical inconsistency. Can we use fallers and risers, or falls and rises please?
For fucks sake 😂🤣
He wasn’t subbed, he was omitted from the squad. Your first sub will replace him and Vice Captain will come into play if you capped him
Kane brace Olise brace 😐
Oh I don’t have much faith in RB Leipzig 🤣 I still think Bayern will win and score 2-3 goals. But I think Mainz, Gladbach, Leverkusen, Frankfurt + Freiburg can also score 2-3 with their fixtures.
It’s the fixtures, really. I’d rather spread the cash when there are 10-15m guys with much easier fixtures than RBL. I’ll have Kane + Olise for most of the season, and with 5 transfers I can bring them in for MW2. Also, Bayern scored 8 goals vs RBL last szn. Kane blanked twice, Olise got 1G 2A 🤷
Here’s where I’m at. Taking on the Bayern boys 😅 Planning to shuffle things around and bring in Kane + Olise for GW2
FBref is only counting Wirtz’s 6 live passes and 2 dead-ball passes as SCA here. Not the run he made to draw 2 BOU defenders away, which made the space for Ekitike’s goal.
Shot-creating actions from #FPL GW1 Wirtz is the most transferred out player btw, with over 400k managers ditching the diminutive playmaker so far 🤨
Benching Dilemma? Who’s dilemma never heard of the bloke jajajaja #fpl #fplcommunity
Ok thanks mate! First season playing for me. I set up my team last week but wanted to wait til after the Pokal games to finalise it. I’ll join the ML soon!
Ok cheers!
#BLfantasy 🇩🇪 I read that we get unlimited transfers during international breaks Am I correct to pick a team for only GW1-2, as everyone gets a wildcard before GW3?
Goncalo Ramos on mega money? You lot are paying Matt Targett more than what Ramos is getting (£100k/wk vs £92k/wk). Oh and he’s got more Goals/90 than Haaland & Isak. He’s been coming off the bench since Dembele started playing thru the middle, but could be tempted away with guarantee of mins 👀
Well I was thinking of Wissa when I wrote that. I pluralised the ‘options’ without thinking about how few there actually are 😅😆 Could go for Jackson, Goncalo Ramos, RK Muani, or Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart
Read again Mr Plumber. The United Nations data is from 2000-2023.
Looks like that’s a problem with healthcare (and archaic abortion laws) in the US, not a vaccine problem buddy. The rest of the world are doing great! Also, your anti-vax website presents the data in a misleading way. Stillbirths should be shown as a “per 1000” rate rather than x number of reports.
He's a good fit for Newcastle, but can't see this happening tbh. You can't loan out a player to another PL club in the same window you bought them. Wolves bought him on July 1 for €27m; Newcastle would have to pay around double that given he's on a 4 year contract. Better options at that price 🤷♂️
He started the season quite well actually and dropped off towards the end, as Chelsea shifted to a more defence-first approach. My alternatives are Watkins at Brentford, Salah at Newcastle, or Bruno at Fulham. I just think Palmer is the best of a bad bunch
Are you forgetting how bad West Ham were against Sunderland? 😆
Just look at KLP and Kayode’s body language as the ball bounces. They both take a second to look around, orientate themselves and locate the ball. Whereas Thiago doesn’t need that moment of orientation bc he’s the guy who touched the ball.
I’m still convinced Towers have cocked up a textbook example of the revised assist rule, and Anderson owners were robbed of an assist for Forest’s first goal. I’ll admit it’s unclear whether there was a 2nd defensive touch, but imo the ball only touches Thiago (#9)’s hand before it gets to Wood.
#FPL GW1—Not the best of starts but we move on. 🤷♂️ Gudmundsson haul turned out to be the highest return, which says a lot about the GW! 🥴 Gonna roll the transfer and play Richards over Gudmundsson, will likely captain Palmer at West Ham.
I've said it before. Stadio is one of the best examples of what football commentary could/should be. A real celebration of the sport, its players and the communities born from it. If you don't already have a neutral football podcast, listen to Stadio. If you do, listen anyway
Me: You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit. My boss: You’ve got to stop speaking in Oscar Wilde quotes, this is your performance review. Me: The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
For fucks sake my 🇪🇸x🇫🇷 Nations League team is a whole 31 points higher than my actual team 😭🤣
39 with Gudmundsson to play 🥲 Blanks all round aside from Salah & Anderson. Bottom 92% of the top 1% league. And to add insult to injury, my #FPL30m team with double Leeds defence is 5 points behind. If Leeds get a CS, the main team will be 1 point behind 🤣 I love this game
Yeah he picked up an injury in training after the press conference.
Basically Reijnders got penalised on BPS as he was disposessed 4 times, committed 3 fouls, had 2 shots off target and got a yellow card. Lewis had 0 for all of these and Aït-Nouri had 0 or 1 for all. Also, Midfielders don’t get any BPS benefit for a clean sheet
Nice find! I went down to my city’s art gallery and snipped off a section of hose ✂️ Don’t worry, it’s really big so they won’t be missing it :p
One positive is that it doesn’t seem to catastrophically drain my battery like previous year’s PL apps did. And it’s nice to be able to check the #FPLchallenge content there, as it’s hard to find good content about that elsewhere.
Yeah it’s not great. I just use the website on my phone’s browser. I don’t like that Fantasy is just 1 tab. That’s all I want to use it for, but they want it to be an ‘all-things-PL’ app. FotMob is better for scores, fixtures & stats. 3rd party websites are better for articles & other content.
I’m on 24 with 8 players down. Disappointed? Yes. But still not intending any transfers until GW5
ten Hag on Leverkusen rebuild: “I know how to manage processes and you can’t force the process. It’s impossible. No one is like Harry Potter… For me, the start of the season is the middle of March” 💀 Last time he mentioned Harry Potter he was sacked within 2 months btw
Tavernier getting 20 CBIRT and 0.32 xG is very interesting 👀 #FPL
Ok ok so I’ve taken out the Portuguese lads (and Semenyo 🤣). Still a strong team, but not Bruno strong.
Tbh feels a bit unfair having 3 nations here. I know I was allocated this rather than choosing it but might drop 1 of the three
Oh shit my bad!! 😅🤣
Roger who? I’m here worrying about the Calvert-Lewin transfer ruining my #FPL30m team… although opens the door for triple Leeds defence 👀 Hoping Farke keeps the faith in Piroe for a couple games at least 🤞
Brighton vs. Fulham | Predicted Lineup — Georginio Rutter: where will he play? — Who takes penalties? — Carlos Baleba’s involvement — Facing Fulham in transition OUT NOW: instinctive.substack.com/p/brighton-v... 👈
No Pep said “his knee is perfect” and “we will decide whether he gets a few minutes” vs Wolves. Also said “after the international break, he can help us” which is why everyone lost their minds
He’s one of the best differential TC options due to the other chips that’ll be in play.
My client is napping (I’m a disability support worker) so made a plot to show highest-leverage TC candidates in based on @solioanalytics.com predicted points & EO. This is why I’m big on FH4 rather than the #FPLcommunity template of FH6. Interesting that Salah TC1 is also looking like a good option
I’ll set up a team now! I’ve got France Spain and Portugal right?
Yeah I’m in!
Oh yah forgot about him!
You only lose money when you sell 😉 Good chance I go without a 2nd GK all season
Can’t see myself changing from this now! Solanke cameo wasn’t enough for me to drop down from Watkins. 🍟 strat: FH4 to swerve poor fixtures for MUN, NFO, AVL, WOL. BB8 for LEE v BUR Tentative transfer plans: GW6 Salah to Haaland GW7 Murillo to Gabriel GW8 back to Salah Good luck gamers! 😄 #FPL
100% agree, he’s not the guy
I’m looking at a BB8. Burnley vs Leeds was a low-scoring affair both times they faced each other last season. Plus, starting with a Leeds defender has less chance of price drop than Estève. And could start him vs Everton GW1 BB2,5,11 also decent options
I had a similar dilemma, but rather than taking £££ out of defence I’ve dropped Bowen down to Strand-Larsen to fund Gakpo to Bruno
The game is so back
xMin for Guiu (left) vs Mayenda (right) from solioanalytics.com I’m probably still gonna punt on Guiu as he enables a lot elsewhere in team. Might shift BB to 2 or 3 rather than GW1 if it’s looking like he’ll get more minutes
Considered Tosin or Chalobah for about 2.61 seconds then remembered it’s Chelsea so they’ll spunk £80M on Guehi or Pacho despite Fofana returning in 5 weeks
Chelsea put a similar clause in Broja’s loan contract at Fulham—£4m fee if he did not play in 60% of games (apps, not starts). And Fulham didn’t give a single fuck about it 😂
idk what ‘top 1% ownership’ actually means here (before GW1) but I assume it’s ownership amongst @fpl.team users’ saved teams
I believe after each deadline it will load in any changes to your team from your team ID. You’ll still have to use official FPL app/site for making the actual transfers. Last year I just used website from my phone — found this much better than the shitty app
The right column in above pic is total projected GD across GW1-4. Probably more useful to show total projected goals scored GW1-4, so here’s that one ⬇️
I’ve considered going triple Forest–probably would be Anderson + two of Murillo, Milenkovic and Sels. Just not sure I want to put all my eggs in that basket, especially now that they have Europa League. WOL + MUN also have bad GW4 fixtures, so FH4 works nicely with Strand-Larsen or Bruno too
