Double LIV defence cleansheet wipeout, typical. #FPL

#GW17 locked in and ready for a bumper Saturday of festive fixtures

🌎 OR: 1.01m
🧢 Haaland

3FTs used:
♻️ Muñoz -> O'Reilly
♻️ Mbeumo -> Foden
♻️ Welbeck -> Nketiah

Likely Ekitiké restructure next week, suspensions pending (Semenyo/Bruno G)

Seasons greetings all! Have a good #FPL gameweek.

#FPL #GW17

Help required!

A Welbeck (and possible Thiago) problem.

1) Bench Welbs, play Bruno G, hope Thiago plays, have 4FTs in 18

2) Welbeck -> Ekitiké, Bruno G -> Potts (for bench), hope Thiago plays, have 2FTs

3) Welbeck -> Nketiah, bench Bruno G, have 3FTs, consider Ekitiké/Potts in 18

#FPL GW16

73 points
🌎 1.07m ⬆️ 1.01m

Tiniest of green arrows for my Free Hit team, which outscored my actual team by 1 point! I will take it - a green's a green 🟢

2FTs already used for GW17:

🔒 Muñoz -> O'Reilly
🔒 Mbeumo -> Foden

Am also considering:
♻️ Welbeck -> Ekitiké
♻️ Bruno G -> Potts/King

Aside from Free Hit in GW16, I have owned Muñoz & Semenyo since GW1.

Muñoz has already been moved on for GW17 and I look forward to having him back in Jan/Feb post-injury.

And it may be time to say goodbye to Semenyo too despite the plum fixture as I seek funds for a Welbeck upgrade.

Up to the Brentford trio and Bruno F to salvage a green arrow. Here's to hoping!

As a 90s kid who grew up on Ceefax and Vidiprinter (324 anyone?!), I always enjoy the live BBC feed.

Need more info though. What kind of sweets, please?

Looks like someone is going to get 1 bonus point for a measly BPS total. Has there ever been a lower total to receive a bonus point?

🍟 Saturday Free Hit reflections 1/2

👍 Delighted with Ekitiké, he and Haaland will always be the exception to the rule re Bundesliga Tax.

👍 Dodging Leno

🤷‍♂️ Neto assist & CS (was never going to pick Wilson and Neto outscored other option Szobozslai)

🍟 GW16 Free Hit active! 🍟

It's pretty punty and I stacked the bench because I can.

🧢 Saka
🌎 OR: 1.07m

Hope everyone enjoys their gameweek!

An alternative Free Hit draft.

- Different formation
- 4 pen takers
- No Watkins
- Double ARS defence
- Chelsea coverage

Which do you prefer?

First draft for Free Hit GW16. Would appreciate thoughts!

- Happy to take on Haaland with Saka captaincy

- Quite fancy Watkins vs West Ham's (slow) defence

- Attacking wise I'm flipflopping between: Ekitiké & Eze vs Gyökores & Wilson

Main concern with this draft is only 3 pen takers.

Blissfully ignoring price changes as I line up Free Hit for GW16

🔒 Saka, Thiago, Dango

All others up for grabs!

GK: Leno, Martinez, Kelleher

D: Andersen, Cash, Hincapie, White, Lewis-Skelly, Collins, O'Reilly

M: Bruno F, Eze, Foden, Wilson

F: Watkins, Ekitiké, Raúl, Gyökores

Help!

#FPL GW15

52 (-4) points
🌎 934k ⬇️ 1.07m

United duo limited the damage but sadly slipped out of the top 1 million for the first time since GW6.

👍 We DO talk about Bruno, 28pts between them.
👎 blanks across the front three, double LIV defence looking questionable

Will likely FH in 16, fun!

A home tie against the holders. Bring it on!

@argusbfc.bsky.social will Lewis-Potter start next weekend? If I pull the trigger on FH, I quite fancy a punt (Thiago & Dango would definitely be in as well). Cheers.

Muñoz didn't join my suspended duo but is an ever so slight injury doubt so Free Hit could still be on the cards, yay!

Without much thought, these are the players that will definitely make it:

- Saka & 2 other ARS (vs WOL)
- Thiago & Dango (vs LEE)

All other positions up for grabs.

#FPL
So far 2 of my players are suspended for GW16: Calafiori & Schade. It could be 3 if Muñoz joins them tomorrow.

Plan 1: play free hit & ignore losing value on Semenyo/Mbeumo etc.

Plan 2: transfer out Calafiori -> Timber, Schade -> Neto (or similar) & bench Muñoz for Alderete

Thoughts?

We are into the 3rd round of the FA Cup - exciting!

Good memories of 3rd rounds a long while ago, particularly seeing Shevchenko/Lampard etc in a 6-1 loss at the Bridge. Our GK got sent off (Shev simulation) and we didn't have a sub, so captain CB went in net :)

Football things that irk me:

1. When a player does something good (but not great) and then proceeds to madly wave their arms to gee up the crowd.

I always feel like saying: "If you'd actually scored instead of missing the target, you would have earned my applause. Do your job and I'll do mine."

My #FPL team's solitary Saturday return comes from new addition Bruno number 1.

And oddly Haaland outscoring Salah by 2 points still counts as a win, right?!
