Fleming got 3 and Neto got 2. Pedro only had the third best baps

didnt watch today but if its like leeds' match he kept shooting off target and being offside to piss away his bps

FPL towers didn’t cap him

He was on 3 before Burnley equaliser. So his winning goal bonus got taken away

Better than my Palmer

B for me

I'm on BB

Thiago blank, Hill CS

Roefs and Mukiele left. Boom or bust

He could have scored a few. Newcastle weren't as fatigued as some expected. Defended well

Guess you didn’t watch much hiding behind the sofa

BrunoF for me. No Lacroix

No Haaland?

Feels like the midpoint of a marathon

Definitely not a sprint

Mbeumo until proven otherwise

A with Stach

Hill and Szobo

Thiago, Ekitike or Pedro

Evanilson isn't clinical

I'd only keep Pedro. Easier to rotate

Keeping Pedro

Good luck trusting a GK. Kelleher has the fixtures until GW34

O'Reilly, VvD, Hill

Who's your third striker?

Blame FFS. Blame the 'pro pundit' mentality. Blame those who built an industry and made money out of this hobby, and made it mainstream.

It used to be a bit of fun on the side, for many it has now blurred the boundaries with actual football.

An alternative is to be very selective and strong on the boundaries yourself, and to switch off from this nonsense regularly.

*hugs*

I feel exactly the same way.

I used to get much more enjoyment out of it.

I think I'm gonna take a break from this game next season.

Yeah I have been wondering about how I play FPL recently. I read about people who can't watch football if they're not betting on it, and I thought how terrible that would be, but FPL affects my enjoyment of watching matches too, albeit it's a lot less of a problem. I do enjoy playing it, though I'm not very good at it, but I may try to play differently next season to make it more fun. Not sure exactly what form that takes though.

I abandoned the real game. Watched every game, every minute, and then Everton vs Burnley happened. "6 point game", both teams trying to avoid relegation. Two players diving, winning pens, game over. Later I watched Liverpool, my favourite team, Salah and Mané diving. Broke my heart.

I still enjoy FPL. FFS, everyone here, ups and downs, is a major part of it.

This whole thread reminds me of when The Narrator meets Bob in Fight Club

I think FPL makes the televised matches more interesting. I'm a Boro season ticket holder so still enjoy watching live football.
I do think there is a large money making industry associated with FPL. Some FPL commentators enjoy an unfair advantage due to their contacts in the game. Some commentators are also living off past glories when very few people participated. The average player is now a lot more savvy on FPL strategies and information available.

This is true, I personally think the bigger factor however is that football is just not as good, fun or entertaining as it once was.
Too commercial, no passion or loyalty these days, could be rose tinted nostalgic glasses but I know a lot of people who share a similar opinion.

Missed an open goal, I heard

wasted.a few chances

Read the match reports, on the very same internet you are using to ask this question.

Come on, at least do your own basics and then ask specifics if needed.

TalkSport producer job?

I try not to think of "back" when considering FPL players, as their performance has nothing to do with how recently I sold them. Especially since teams and players change unpredictably too

So my question is: will O'Reilly improve my squad if I got him now?

I think so, so yeah

Needs more context. What’s your current team?

Rogers as he is a guaranteed 90 minute man

Could you provide insight on my query above pls

Dango

Ekitike without a doubt. Thiago relies on pens too much.
