FPL General’s Gameweek 18 team, transfer + captain

New manager. Impossible to tell.

A risk he won't after our Greek owner fired our best manager since you-know-who after our Greek goalkeeper got dropped

B

B (small knock and Forest next)

B

Neale said we might find out tomorrow.

I would take a punt on Gusto

A 4th City defenders for a blank.

A

City dont keep CS

Definitely would avoid another City defender...their constant late goal leakage is so frustrating. Villa has a lot of decent options with a pretty nice run of fixtures. Gusto could be solid if he nails down that position while James is out (which seems to be always).

Gusto

Yes - only debate imo is whether it’s at LB or CB.

Yes, height against Luton's set pieces

more save points + bonus points I think but both seem v good. villa looks to be better defence but fulham can get more saves

Leno

Halaand can't play, if that's what you're after

hard but probs don't risk it and go gabs

tricky but depends if you don't mind booking in a transfer in a few weeks
if you don't, then son could score a lot so maybe go for it
if you do mind then maybe richi could be the way- feel he's less likely to score while son's here but better in long term.

summary: depends on if you have any other transfers needed to be made in the near future and how risky you want to go

would say B and go watkins and luiz probs

yeah your team looks good for this week, might as well leave it and get 2 FT's for next gw

A

Which 2 go out ... Gordon + ?

i'd say either richarlison + bailey or preferably just richarlison. 6 points isn't too much ground to make up and i reckon you could probably do it without a -4 by just bringing in richarlison.

gl with it and i hope you win the wager!

Now what with points?

Let me see one more time my solanke points before it gets wiped off -(

At last! Thanks for posting that.

lol

oh god 😐

Ha ha, yes. By some almost miracle, the 6 points that I will lose for Solanke are going to be replaced by 6 from Jonny Evans when I was expecting a negative following Liverpool scoring four or more goals.

Can never have enough of those....

Right decision if points get wiped given announcement but it’s tough for us solanke owners who brought him in for 3 good fixtures.

Lucky enough to have Gabriel sub but others won’t be.

Gutted, I have Archer coming in

It might be played in a blank game week if both teams get knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rs or 4th round.

Yes they have, not deducted from total score but just a - where his points were

Points 100% getting deleted. Auto subs later this evening.

Thank you. When was that released?

Took a -4 to bring in Solanke, do I get those back?

But, weirdly, my total points remain the same!

Makes sense.
Very unlucky for the Solanke owners, new owners through hits and especially the brave (C)'ers!
Bot sometimes you have some bad luck in this game.
FPL made the right call here.

Same bro same, and I don't even have Solanke!

Had to be done.
You were very unlucky, that a real life tragic accident made this impact. Weather could've done the same.
You'll claw your wat back!

It's an absolute joke. So now non owners can be rewarded and plan for a poential double gameweek later in the year. So its a double reward being owners lose his point this week. Makes absolutely zero sense at all whatsoever.

Have you never heard of a professional game being called due to weather? Happens in baseball all of the time. No stats get counted. What would be the logic of counting stats (and hence fantasy points) of a game that was called off, and is to be replayed. It's a weird blip of an event in footie, but the reverse outcomes, giving fantasy points for a game that has been "reset" would defy logic and reason.

I think that there are very few circumstances for which an abandoned game would not be fully replayed. The one that occurs to me is if the fans cause it to try prevent a result that will cause their team to be relegated.

It was always going to be the outcome. Why it took the PL so long to announce it is what delayed FPL acting.

Luiz

Long-term Luiz. Short-term term punt Bailey

Ha Ha - see my post below........

Only Gordon

*how
*Palmer

Could be worse - Raul subbed in for some!
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3676110/event/17/

Only Palmer. Had wildcarded so I had good squad depth for the next few matches. Couldn’t decide on whether to bench Palmer or Gordon. First bit of luck this season.

I’ve seen someone getting Fabianksi, Lascelles and Tsimikas off their bench this week

Brutal. Don't take it too hard mate, you can still recover from this

Not too far off your profile picture 😀
