    Would anyone keep Estupinan on WC, assuming he's benched for the next two fixtures?

        He had a shocker today so possibly (could have scored early on mind you), the fixtures are good after the next two though.

      Gw10 onwards looks good that I would have said yes and had planned on holding him myself. However after todays horror show I’d go without and bring him back in gw10 if he is still first choice

        Yeah that might be the way to go. Aside from the fixtures I was thinking of holding simply because I am not sure who to replace him with, got Schar, Burn, Cash and Udogie but short of inspiration now!

    A lot of wisdom after the event and ungraceful winning from some Watkins owners / schadenfreude from some without Salah.

    Enjoy the Watkins amazing haul, no need to slag off those who went for someone else and are probably quite unhappy with their decision.

    No skin in the game for me. I’ve not owned Watkins this season but I’ve had him plenty in the past. He’s a great option, always has been and will continue to be. I can’t quite make room for him yet but he’s on the watch list.

    Let’s get on! This can be a great place but sometimes the occasional post can bring the vibe down, especially on a matchday. Truth is there are loads of good options this season and you can’t have them all!

      Well said but here’s the thing - we are all humans and humans have a very natural tendency to show off when they win and mope/get upset when they lose. It’s 100x worse in the world of FPL. I’ve been on here for over a decade and it hasn’t changed 1 bit.

      I have Watkins, excited about the points and know how it feels to be on the other side. I’m not really gloating (on here or in my circle). But that’s me. People will do what they want but check out their reaction when they are on the other side. Also check the reaction of those who don’t “win” - a good example is when KDB captaincy paid off during the DGW a couple seasons ago with the 4 goal masterclass. It wasn’t a popular captaincy option and those who didn’t get the points were saying all sorts of stuff.

      To me it’s all a game, there is some skill, some luck and some good fortune. Do your best, play your game, make your decisions and live with it. There will be next game week or next season if it all falls apart. It’s just a game. Of other people’s opinions are too “toxic” for you stay off FFS, social media etc. I do this regularly especially my WhatsApp groups - I just mute for 8 hours or 1 week as needed.

      Good luck

        Exactly that. If you can moderate the content you consume, I find that helps. So no FPL social media, just this site and a couple of podcasts. Most of the time this place is great but, like anywhere, people will have their (bad) moments and bring the tone down

        Congrats on the Watkins points by the way. Dreamland!

    Looking at Foden to Son

    I'm 0.3m short currently so looking to see either Botman or maybe Estupinan to enable it.

    If Botman I've got up to 4.3. Estupinan up to 4.8. My other defender is Gusto so if I don't Swap Botman I've got no cover.

    Currently between getting Taylor (Burnley 3.9) for Botman and starting Estupinan vs Liverpool, or swap Estupinan to Andersen (Palace) or Burn.

    I'd appreciate any advice, shocking game week. 44 pts dropped from 16k to 56k

    So the VAR, Darren England, checked offside thinking the onfield decision was "goal."

    It was a quick offside check because it was clear Diaz was onside, so he told the referee "check complete".

    In telling the ref "check complete" he is saying the onfield decision was correct.

    So the "human error" by the VAR team is getting the onfield decision wrong. Not by failing to draw lines etc.

    The lines were drawn and Diaz was clearly onside.

    The huge, quite unbelievable error was misunderstanding the onfield decision.

      If that's what it is, then that's even more incompetent than human comprehension.
      Are they not even watching the game?
      SURELY, they report back to the ref by saying.... goal, or not goal... offside or not offside.....

        The VAR kid actually agreed it was a goal. But the he thought the goal was awarded on the field. So he confirmed "the call on the field" that he thought was "goal".

        So goal to Liverpool...2-2 is the right adjustment

        How they would have adjusted is pool would have won 2-1, but that can't be helped.

    Mates -- need some help. Should I wildcard?

    Onana, Turner
    Trippier, Botman, Estupinan, Udogie, Kabore
    Saka, Son, Bruno, Mbeumo, Foden
    Haaland, Alvarez, Archer

    My inclination is to hold, and make moves slowly, saving the wildcard for closer to Christmas, but it's a close call, as I want to turnover my GK, Botman, Bruno, and ideally would get Watkins in for their run of games. I'm inclined to stay away from Salah, because he's so expensive that it undermines upside elsewhere.

      I don’t think I would wildcard that. Bruno and Estu are still good picks and although Mbeumo has dipped and Foden might be worth a transfer, they’re still capable of getting good points. You have enough in defence to get you past the Botman injury and Onana is just going to have to get lucky.

    Greetings all!! Can’t decide to get Salah or Watkins… how does this little compromise sound??….

    Morris, Rashford, Estupinan to Wakins, Diaz and 4.0 defender(bench) -4

    Thoughts welcomed!!

    Cheers everyone!!
