FPL notes: Pau injury latest, Moreno excels + United resilient

I'd just play Saliba or Darwin

Does that leave enough in the bank to get Haaland back?

yes

What was your move/moves?

No Son at home to Everton, so that's a no from where in sitting

N

Probably still resting Haaland.

Turner to Dubravka given you have no Newcastle defence?

Sanchez to Leno.

Cheers Keefy so 60/40 points awarded

Interesting thanks.

Absolutely crackers that points have stood for an abandoned game.

I have Solanke in the Sun game and my points are awarded.

Sky, Fanteam and Bet365 all take bets on their games in conjunction with their fantasy games.

So this tracks with what they did with the betting on their sites, paid out on any bets in the 60 mins played i.e. goals scored and voided anything that takes longer i.e. the result.

Interesting

Roll.

I would do nothing , your gut call.

I’d roll! Unless you fancy Tsimi to Trent

I’d get Solanke or Jesus in and bench Coufal

Watkins for Isak.

Isak. I’m going to start Archer vs. Luton in 19

I got Leno for Areola. Seemingly Fabianski is gonna get starts now. Keeping Johnstone for now.

No hit for a goalie

The problem is the greedy Premier League want to replay a game that was two thirds over so they can get more money.

And then what happens when they replay it? No way can you give points for a game that will likely be replayed.

Why? An average Premier League match can last between 90 and 105 minutes nowadays.

Only scenarios are...

A) Game restarts from 65 mins, current points stand and added to dependent on outcome.
B) Game is replayed in full, current points voided.

Don't see how any other option is possible. No chance Solanke's goal stands and game is replayed in full.

(I have Gordon first bench so probably a bit less bothered than others).

Maybe, if they sell him to a team with better CS potential.

C

Depends what you do with the 1 m really not an A B C answer

I would say A if AFCON wasn’t a factor. So I’d go Bowen

id save ft, very nice team

need him back and firing, at a great price point to shake up fpl

villa have decent rest time between games, and he was rested yesterday. seems abit like a luxury use of a FT though given like you say bailey even starting might only be good for 180-200 minutes across the 3 matches.

I'm thinking about it, yeah. If it weren't for the mins/fitness concern I'd be on on it for sure. Love me a luxury transfer!

150k is a monster rank at this stage of the season imo.

Damn.. are you in a league with content creators only? Considering he's 46th in the world? Does he have a patreon?

not much you can do against someone doing that well

You nailed it I'd say, even though I would look at getting rid of Darwin Majonez.

Depends on Isak mins in the cup tomorrow. Howe's quite was faintly reassuring, perhaps enough to try hang on for one or two starts, especially if you already have Watkins (or get him by selling Darwin).

Darwin has to go I think. Maybe Foden too depending on team structure / if you want to wait & hope for DGW soon

G) Areola to Martinez

Cool cheating, bro

Can I have more than one team?

In the interest of fair play each person may only enter one team. You may enter this team in multiple leagues and compete against different groups of friends.

So lesson is do less, rely on luck more.

It's partially because you can take risks in the blink of an eye.

Having thought it all through for your proper team.

I'm in another fpl tournament that's not FPL and I'm doing better with no Salah...


Although life took over waiting for Spurs team news on Friday and i even left captain on Haaland with Cunha vc.

There's cash prizes in that and I think I've recouped £10 against my outlay of 2 years of FFS subs.

Almost breaking evens in FPL land!

Someone here posted about something similar happening about 10 years ago(think it was Bubz) and they just gave the points. Not sure why they just don't do that again. And if PL wants to replay it another time, let them.

I hear you but only a little frustrating , hang in fella what will be will be

Wait, the Queen died? When did this happen?

Clearly another who didn't play World Cup fantasy. One grey area in years of playing? Try 50 shades of grey in every rule, budget hacks, and random errors every day

In 10 years time we can console each other, and tell the newbies "you weren't there, man" like Vietnam War veterans.

We survived Covid but GW after GW went by with many of us using the FTs we were being given to strengthen our squads before there was any clarification on how FPL was going to process after the pandemic.

Not as funny as the United guy when they get battered

Do you mean Luton officials did or did not have Solanke in their teams?

So you think he had a cardiac arrest on purpose?

Jeez what a weapon.

What you reckon is almost certainly not true.
You are of course perfectly entitled to hold any view you like and I'm not going to "hate" on your opinion, but I'm sure that if you put your theory to any of the Luton players or staff they may disagree with you in a more intense manner than I do.

Shouldn't get hate for a post like this mate, they could have finished match.

potentially with it being the second time its happened in quick succession there was more concern. thats his playing career over now i imagine and that'd hit the luton dressing room hard in the moment, tough to continue playing.

When Christian Eriksen suffered his cardiac arrest towards the end of the first half in the 2021 World Cup match between Denmark and Finland, the players were taken off the field but agreed to resume the match only after hearing that he was awake in hospital. Finland went on to win the match 1-0.

Fabrice Muamba collapsed during an FA Cup match between Bolton and Spurs in 2012 and was effectively dead for 78 minutes before revived. The match was abandoned by the referee, and Bolton's next match was also postponed at the club's request. He had to retire from professional football after that based on the recommendation of his medical team, but married his fiancee later that year and they now have four children. He has sent a message of support to Tom Lockyer.

it's a fair point and question
I remember watching (and hearing) the Raul skull fracture which was scary. After a long pause the game continued albeit a bit subdued

I guess in the moment when the ref offered the abandonment it seemed the right thing to do.
How the ref asked, how much prior thought the managers had put into it, how worried they were for lockyer could all factor in.
Similar situations objectively could be very different subjectively

It's funny how majority of people these days can't take what's been said but have to make it into something else.

You've said;
Last time he was non-responsive (thus potentially more serious) but they played on.
This time he was responsive (thus potentially less serious) but they suspended play.

You're then saying there is potential that this is because Bournemouth were on the up. It does beg the question why did they continue in a game where he was potentially worse off with bigger risks at stake (promotion to the PL) as opposed to this game where there was less at stake (3 points).

Anthony

Werner at Chelsea was hilariously bad - when he missed the ball and kicked the corner flag that time 😆

pepe, coutinho off the top of my head. at least with darwin theres still a chance he could do something

Falcao?

Antony is the worst

Yeah people will say Pepe but he had moments where he did something amazing

Mutu at Chelsea.
Big money signing, scored about 10 goals in total. Fell out with everyone. Got a drugs ban.

Depends on Johnstone and what Hodgson says. I've a similar quandary below. Areola now a headache though

Anyone??

Keepers, Areola needs to go broke or fit rhymes with hit!

Dubravka?

Motivation to retire

Paqueta could be a really nice differential

Not really; some good options in that price range. As above, I like Bailey. Hwang has only 3 GWs left til Asian Cup & you've missed the best fixtures (also 4 YC)

Bailey

Palmer easily best sub 6m mid
