FPL Gameweek 8: Sunday’s goals, assists, bonus points + stats

Smooth: Salah
Rough: Son©

Smooth: Salah cap gave 58pts for a green arrow and now 22k OR

Rough: Saka & Kabore no show meant I only had 10 men on the pitch.

ROUGH
I got 32 lol. I think my GW rank will be lower than the total number of players 2-3 seasons ago. And out of LMS 🙁

No attacking returns and best scorer (7) was 3rd sub.

SMOOTH
I guess still in top 1m (just) and have 2 FTs for IB carnage

Rough - Triple City attack blanked, Son blanked, seeing Trippier return again makes me regret going for Botman over him.

Smooth - Salah captain, clean sheets for Udogie and Andersen

Smooth: Palmer 12 pointer in for Saka
Rough: Son (c)

Smooth: Wildcard went well, Salah captain and 69 points.
Rough: My original team with Pickford and Sterling would have scored 70+ even with nobody coming off the bench for Saka. Still feel I'm better set up for the future now though.

Rough in hindsight: Beyer with Gusto and Botman on the bench. Captained Son,would do the same though given goal form and opposition.

Smooth: Johnstone.
Sold Haaland and Estupinan for Watkins and Trippier who dik OK but not amazingly so.

51 points here. 700k rise. Delighted

Very happy with 73p. Salah (c) and Pickford the differentials.

Smooth: Johnstone Trippier keep delivering
Rough: No Salah

75 points 4.3 to 2.2 million (yes I suck). Kept Sterling and captain salah.

Smooth: Salah and hit to get Trippier in paid off.

Rough: Son (C) and Triple City attack blankety blank

Rough: brought in Aurier for Estupinan a -4 in order to bench White

Smooth: didn’t save team and Aurier was on the bench with White in my XI

Also rough: everything else

Smooth
Brought in Salah for Saka and capped
Two ML rivals above me luckily both wildcarded out Sterling
It's the international break so can forget about FPL/PL

Rough
Seeing Basham's injury
Somehow still don't own Trippier who punishes every week now and hard to fit him in
Only got 10 players out thanks to Kabore no-show
Worst start to a season in my FPL history, still ~3m OR!

Smoth: Saving the WC and manage to do 62(-4)

Rough: Son(c)

Smooth: Used wildcard and got 72 pts including Salah capt. Moved up from 1.55 mill to 450,000.
Rough. On bench were Turner 6 Gabriel 8 Palmer 12 and Udogie 6, as played Pope, Cash, Walker and Diaby instead. Would have got 97 pts instead!

Rough injury time comeback lost me 8 points for Pinnock

Smooth salah (c)

(S)alah barely got me any headway. My hit was pretty useless

Captained Son over Salah
Played areola over Turner
45 points

Smooth: Pickford, Salah, Sterling. Best GW of the season 333k GW rank.

Rough: Still out at 3.4m OR, resisted urge to change captain from Haaland to Salah.

Smooth: Salah cap, and the rest of my team just chipping in with small returns to 73.
Rough: Porro in for Udogie and he missed a sitter.. sold Sterling on Wildcard.. actually lost out on seven points compared to old team. But I had been forced to trigger the wildcard now anyway.

Smooth: Salah, Neto on for Saka.
Rough: Son(c), Turner in bench over Pope. Gabriel on bench.

I had 6 flags but i decided not to WC.My transfers were Estupinan->Van de Ven and Eze->Richarlison(-4).On the Unfortunately Saka and Beyer were out of the squad but i captained Salah.65 points at 160k!

ROUGH
Did last minute transfer, got price out of ALL my shortlisted defender

SMOOTH
The replacement defender (VDV) outscore ALL my shortlisted defender

Probably my worst ever gameweek! 27 points. Son(c). Only return was Udogie. Dropped 1.4m after going up 1.6m last week.

Held off bringing Gabriel back for Estu for a week and elected to play Beyer instead and move Kaminski on for Areola before he goes up to 4.3. Left me a man short and missed those eight points too!
Marooned at 3m now.

Rough
Son cap over Salah, also took my first hit of the season which was a pretty dumb one, Kabore & Morris out for Colwill & Foster, that would have actually been a 3pt profit except i benched Foster then played Colwill over Gabriel which made me 10pts worse off if i had done nothing, now i don't want Colwill either 🙁

Smooth
moved off Kabore to the 4.5m bracket at least, so now i have more choice of defenders that i can jump to
