With Salah away I felt better about his minutes

The mins risk is less with Salah n taa out

I've luckily got nunez and Jota!

Great option while Salah is out
If Salah has a longer-term injury I'll definitely be considering him

Jota 3
Darwin 2

frustrating arghhh

Haha this has happened pretty much every time I've asked an A/B question here this season too. Oh well.

I have jota captain and Foden soo…

Bright side is that those people most likely don't have Jota so no damage done from their side.

Unlucky mate, but make your own decisions.

In fairness, Foden looking nailed, great form, fixtures incl BUR, plus confirmed double

Went Jota, but might switch to Foden soon

FPL is far more group think than wisdom of the crowds imo

I was just refreshing my memory why I didn’t go for Jota. Main reason is that they have a very busy schedule and matches are quite hard (I think most thought that most thought that Bournemouth would be difficult to get through). I thought Saka and Richarlison were better based on stats and fixtures (with Groß third choice and I already own Foden) and stand by that, no matter how difficult it is now.

What was your thinking?

that's fpl for you, imagine if you'd asked Foden or Martinelli !

For me exactly the other way around. I was trailing by 15 and jota wins it for me!

How does one come to this decision

ouch

Peculiar

Nice - 36 here - a 100% drop in rank!!!

66 all out

On 72. 36 since yesterday from my 2 transfers - Jota and Gabriel.

96(-4) all out

84 up 58% from 540 k to 216 k..

And salah not really required. He will probably go to saudi in the summer then

Thought that he'd only give a fraction of the attack threat that Trent gives but that assist might get him going in that regard even if not at Trent levels

I think Bournemouth helped them out a fair bit today tbf, didn’t look like the team who have been playing well on their good run that’s for sure.

Liverpool turned it on in the second half but it wasn’t looking good at HT.

People tend to only look at what's just happened, not what can happen over the next bunch of weeks.

You can see that from the rage transfers that get done when player X doesn't haul, then the regret when a few weeks later said sold player hits form and gets his points.

Flat 5 points

no

Give only 3 pts for penalties. Scoring a penalty shouldn't be 5 pts

If the points are the same for everyone why the need for change? Unless it’s specifically impacted you in 1 week of course

No
I wouldn't be opposed to more muted points for penalties though e.g. 3-4 for any player taking regardless of position and less of a bps impact (positive or negative) for scoring or missing

No

Congrats!

I’d spend the idle money on City players

A easily. Take your pick. If west ham have no one back I'd lose Bowen

He won't score for another 8 games now. Just remember to always avoid. Let the others take the risk lol

Before Bowen plays that Bournemouth defence at home?

Personally thinking of losing Saka for KDB, just a damp squib of an FPL player this season.

Not worth it

I have two cup wins relying on around 6 from Estu and Pedro

All holds in my opinion.

Saka -> Jota
Watkins -> Toney
Solanke -> Darwin

Sorted.

Like those moves, especially first two

Looking at the squad, who could really do with swapping out? Trips, Diaz, Sterling, Alvarez, I’d say. (Of course, you could switch more on a WC, but I wouldn’t say they were essentially “get rids”). Could a hit this GW suffice? You’ll really need that WC to have massive upside to close that gap, so you gotta ask which GW are you going to catch the biggest points up turn by hitting the button.

The best way to make up points is playing your own game. Forget your rival for a few weeks and see where that gets you.

Some of us did that for this week.

Solanke to Toney is a worthwhile move. So is Solanke to Cunha.

Jota (6, 7, 16) looks like excellent cover for Salah at the moment

OR#26 with KDB (c), Jota (vc), Gabriel, Palmer and Darwin smashed it
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/6427628/event/21

I was in neither boat but Jota looks like a good shout again.

When is the final? Doesn’t sound like 2 games to me.

Sounds like he's out for a while then

Must mean the injury is worse than originally thought if he's not staying with the Egypt squad.

Ouch

Happens. I’m widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and I’m on 28 if it makes you feel any better

Tell me about it!

48 points with Estu and Gross to go.
14 points up to safety and a -300% rank drop!

Cheers for being such a sport, unlike the bragging muppets
