Made a 5am decision to get Keane in the XI instead of Konsa. Foden in for Diaz, kept Jackson and Watkins..such a rollercoaster week. Just gonna be patient, going forward.
Genuinely think this season is probably the most unpredictable season that I’ve ever played, it feels like everyone who most people own just blank or you bench them. Totally with you Ross, but we keep pushing 👊
Disagree. Salah Haaland Saka Palmer Watkins Mbeumo Rogers TAA Gabriel Raya Son Havertz. In fact the only unpredictable high scorers who most wouldn’t predict are imo are Diaz, Welbeck, and maybe McNeil. Other than Bruno and Eze I would say no popular asset has disappointed in fact.
@@sebvshid even say last season was much harder and more brutal. All premiums being available meant that there was basically no room to climb within the budget picks and when players did return they returned MASSIVE.
Feels really familiar tbh. I always do well in first 10GWs (highs of top 1k - no chips used) but then try too hard to be differential and the template finally comes good Xmas onwards and I usually finish about 500k. 😢
Seriously, obviously you have the expected returners like the “premiums”. But I have 2 teams (a draft squad and a regular one) and my draft team usually outperforms the squad where I get full freedom because I cant choose the commonly picked players as theyre owned by others
@@kangkitty10 we lost Rodri that game and KDB the next. Both vital for our team balance. There’s no creativity in the team atm, so there’s not much Haaland can do. No one is finding him, because no one has that in their game besides Gundo who’s not in form yet, Foden who’s not starting for one reason or another, or Nunes who’s not trusted to start regularly
Left Keane on my bench because FPL content creators mentioned that Brathwaite was seen in training photos.. never relying on FPL content creators ever again.
Honestly this season has been super hard to predict so far when it comes to FPL. Players go hot and cold all the time and there's rarely a perfect captain.
Loving the fact that I wildcarded pretty much just to get Haaland in to stop the bleeding. And since then it has just turned a bleeding trickle to an arterial spray since that City gumboot has blanked every week since I brought him in! 🤣🤦🏻♂️ On the positive side , I've still got 2 players to try to boost my amazing 19 points so far. So as long as Sels and Wood score about 30+ between them then I'll be fine...... 🤦🏻♂️
You've got a smashing attitude to this game Ross. These last 2 weeks could have been the fight back with your pre Haaland team but you've taken it on the chin. Its one of those years, the hauls will come, eventually 👍
I commented in my mini league that this year is either feast or famine. I scored 35 this week, 37 the week before and 90 the week before that. One of the best players in the mini league is 24th out of 25 and having a shocker. My defence has scored 15 points over the last 3 GWs. I’ve had Haaland for 3 weeks and it seems that “attacking the upside” has hardly worked out any time I’ve made any transfers. Chins up and we go again next week!
17 points so far two players left, this is my first season of fpl and I’m at 6mil, I feel like I keep making the right decisions but it never works out for me, every 50/50 decision doesn’t go my way, next week I suppose
I'm done. This season is not fun. The game is not fun. Last season was a blast, but it has flipped this year. I am taking a leaf from FPL Therapy sessions and quitting at 900k. Not bad I know, but I am just not enjoying any of the processes. So. App deleted and YT subscriptions ended. Good luck to all of you who stick this season out. I hope you smash it during the remainder! All the best.
Love the content man! Only got 35 points this GW so far, got Wood and Aina still to play! It's very difficult to predict how things would go with FPL! Hopefully it gets better for you!
I feel like there’s a general sense of apathy within the FPL space at the moment: there are no doubles to plan for, and not many players hauling. It can all change on a dime though so we’ll stay the course 🦖
There's very little in the way of players that I would consider safe points. Even with transfers I just don't really know where to go. I'm thinking of switching Saka for Salah, downgrading Solanke and getting a new defender for Konsa or Colwill.
Penalties for Salah and Vardy were my only saving graces this week, currently on 38 pts with Aina playing tomorrow. Given up on Arsenal defense. Not worth the premium price. TAA is gonna be my only premium def going forwards. Liverpool under Slot is looking like a seriously solid defense. In mid and fwd I’m no longer gonna put my eggs in too few baskets, and spread my funds around hoping for the power of the average.
Not a bad one for me in the end with 51 points (Thanks Salah!!) Could of been a nightmare as made last minute move to captain Mbeumo against Haaland. Your bounce back is coming Ross :) Thanks for the material and always being so happy and positive. Keeps us all smiling on cold dark mornings :)
My garnacho pick is looking genius for once 😅 united still don't look great but everything good is going through him 5 shots on target unlucky not to get more points
I rage transferred out DCL for Welbeck on Saturday night and didn't check that he picked up an injury. Fortunately, after the scan it seems like Welbeck isn't having an injury and will be back in training soon.
One of the most underrated 4.0m defender picks is keane. I have had him for 4 weeks now and this week proved brilliant. More points this season than the likes or pau torres and lewis etc
Ross, Start Ait-Nouri and Van den berg. Ait-Nouri has great attacking quality and is always very attacking producing goals and assists. And with Van den berg I think Brentford finally have to keep a clean sheet and will. Ipswich are soo attackingly poor.
I currently looking at doing DCL to Wissa. I know I have had enough of DCL and whenever Wissa has gotten consistent minutes he has been in amongst the goals. Common sense says going R.Jimenez but I don’t see a world where Jimenez keeps up this form.
Took the risk of bringing in Buonanotte 2 gameweeks ago and am loving it… I’m sure more people would be looking to him if he played all minutes from the start of the year.
I would say your team is almost perfect, to avoid future headaches, I would look to get Rogers out, Semenyo in. I think it’s only a matter of time before Rogers gets a random benching, but he should still be good for the Bournemouth match. Maybe look to get Porro in for Lewis as well, set and forget him over the Christmas fixtures
Hey Ross, it’s not just you, I started the season top 50k after GW3 and I’m now down to 350k after 27 points this week. I brought Johnson in for Eze which meant benching Rogers instead of Eze who was one of my only returns! Double Arsenal defence the last few weeks has been incredibly disappointing too, feels like we’re getting everything wrong at the moment!
I've never considered double defence in this game except the years Robertson and Trent were constantly getting attacking returns... To me, it's never worth it just for potential clean sheets that could be wiped out by 1 goal
I had a 29 pt gameweek, but that's not what hurts. It’s more the fact that the 2 players I transferred in (including captaincy) combined for 6 pts, and the 2 I transferred out would’ve got me 28 (32 if I would've captained correctly, but I wouldn't have). That's what hurts.
Have not had Haaland all season. Have not had Salah the last 3 weeks. Still had Saka (c) this week but managed to Jam a Son captain and Jackson off the bench. Up to 340 OR now. Sels left to play. So top 10 by the end 😂😂😂
Gabriel to Konate (assists are coming with the long balls from DEF just look how many they send through on the counter + aerial threat and duels won), Solanke to Raul (set and forget honestly for the season) and Saka to Salah
It is one of those years I think! Watching the Liverpool game today it seems that TAA has been told not to play forward as much under the new management? Maybe time to downgrade to Konate or Van Dyke?
Had a quick look at a wildcard ..no haaland team ... I could get palmer , son , saka , salah , rogers watkins , wissa and cunha in attack . My defence would be all cheap but not really had luck with premium defenders anyway
22 here 😎 Pretty similar team to yours. However I did Saka to Foden for 4pts...however that caused me to bench Rogers as my only other scoring player 😎 Think I might look at a grand rotation of forwards...starting on Haaland, Solanke, Delap: Move Solanke to Wissa GW9 for IPS. GW10 Haaland to Cunha, a mid up to Salah (almost certainly Foden) GW11, Delap back to Solanke for IPS if Solanke looks better ...probably Salah back to Saka in GW12/13, play it by ear to see if Haaland comes back before GW18ish
I'm at 29pts with Aina left to play. I went without Haaland GW1-5 in favour of a Salah only draft so 3 captaincys, 3 blanks is frustrating. I did Diaz, Watkins, and Semenyo -> Raul, Johnson, and Foden for a -4 as it set me up for Saka -> Palmer for the next few fixtures... Now I'm just going to roll transfers for 3/4 weeks.
I was one of the many that loved your wildcard draft with Pickford. Still think he’s a great option. Gutted I benched Mykolenko this week on favour of VdV last minute
Went into today with 6 points... Currently on 34 with 7 more to come from the bench and Wood + Eze still to play. So it could be worse Edit. Saliba only misses one game btw. It wasn't a violent conduct offense
68 points and rank went up to 270k ish, still have wildcard left. I had Salah capt this week but honestly I didn't ever would have thought that that Newcastle would have lost 0-1 to Brighton in home and Haaland didn't get any points, I would just consider that I was lucky this week. Cheer up Ross- next week you have Haaland against Southampton.
49 points with Wood to play. Captained Salah and he aline jumped me up a million places. Not having Haaland hurt me bad for that few weeks, but now has helped me recover and am close to 500k.
For the moment, i`m on 33 points with Eze still to play against Nottingham Forest tonight. After the many blanks this gameweek i would say i`m happy with points from Jackson, Rogers and mostly the autosub points from Mykolenko with Saka not playing. Otherwise the armband was on Haaland and i`m still on a red arrow. Altogether i`m in a tricky situation with 3 free transfers and £0,6m in the bank. Moreover the season has not been that fun so far and my rank is stuck between 2 and 3 million for the last few gameweeks, really need a high score to boost my overall rank.
Hi Ross, Well as expected Haaland is finally blanking. Too bad you had to own him for the blanks. I’ll die on the hill that 15.4M is simply too much for any asset. My only advice to you is similar to what was said on one of the FPL Therapy episodes. You’ve gotta have a long term basis evaluating over performance. Haaland was never going to keep that scoring pace up. City lost KDB and Rodri and Foden isn’t firing. They’ve won the last 2 games based on sheer grit and championship aura. I do recommend a sell after the Southampton fixture. Hopefully he’s priced at 13.5 next season.
Just really bad variance, Arsenal not getting a CS over the last 3 game weeks is literally unheard of. With fixtures that easy, that was a banker. I’m just worried who to bring in for Saliba, Ait Nouri would be great on a wildcard, but is he really worth a transfer in?
Haaland is stinky, but slightly more stinky is the double and tripple ups on Arsenal defence. They struggle to keep cleans against lower sides because their high line is vulnerable to being hit on the break by teams that park the bus. When the bus is parked, the top 6 push most of their players into the battle of breaking down the block. City are similar.
think you're considering the fixtures a bit too much, specially with players like ipswich or man city defenders.. theyre just not good at keeping cleansheets
Fpl is beginning to be very sus with everyone selling saka minutes before the deadline and son getting an assist when he clearly shouldn't have... and can you sell haaland so he scores agian 💀 Edit: Sons assist is now gone as it should 👍
Personally think most FPL content creators overthink it and therefore don’t do well. 1 or 2 good FPL years doesn’t make you an expert, this goes for the creators too. Still love the content Ross x
At some point, we have to accept that Liverpool's defence is good. Being willing to have double Arsenal defence through Liverpool (H), Newcastle (A) and Chelsea (A) (before Saliba's red card) but worried about one Liverpool defender for Arsenal (A), Brighton (H), Villa (H) is madness. Trent or Konate should be in most teams. Especially for a team like yours which has no Liverpool. I feel like I should check we've been watching the same premier league season so far. The one I've watched has Liverpool top of the table while only conceding 3 goals, conceding about 6 xGA, having the largest xG differential in the league, the best FPL defender we've ever seen and the FPL GOAT. Feels like lots of people are living in last season still
Surprised you arent looking at strand larsen considering hes a mil cheaper than cunha, has a terrific fixture run coming up and keeps returning at a very similar pace to cunha, just feels like SL gets overlooked a lot when he could be a good shout for ppl with tight budgets
Really glad I didn't go double Arsenal defence and I am not big on Solanke as a pick at all. The spread of points at Spurs puts me right off them. KDB coming back will make a big difference to EH's output. I got 41 and still have Sels and Wood to go tonight. I wish I had captained Salah.
Nah I can’t believe this. I’m still without haaland so far and another green arrow for me which puts me in the top 200K in the world 🫢 GW8 47 points with Wood left. I’m still with my wildcard and considering using it just for the good Arsenal games ahead and still don’t want to put halaand in my team (thoughts 🤔) Thx for the tips that you gave so far Ross much appreciated. YANITED! 👊❤️
Ross had a stinker gw but yet my man still smiles with his eyes ! Top guy 👏
he deserves all this for playing "safe" with haaland like all other creators, not in his style...

Good week to have a bad week. Check this out for a double transfer:
Watkins and Salah out
Haaland and Johnson in
(-2 transfers, and -26 pts)
I did almost the same thing but got McNeal instead so wasn’t as bad. And took a -4 point hit on the transfers
Delete your team
Did the exact same. I’ve captained Salah every week up until now as well hahaha
LMFAOOOOO.
Log out bro it's over

Cunha because he is more nailed, over Christmas with games back to back, Muniz will probably start one or a couple for Fulham.

Haaland was never going to keep that scoring pace up. City lost KDB and Rodri and Foden isn’t firing. They’ve won the last 2 games based on sheer grit and championship aura.
I do recommend a sell after the Southampton fixture.
Hopefully he’s priced at 13.5 next season.
Going with gut in last 2 GW has been great for me 73 then this time 50 with henderson to play
Go against the odds, start Gab, liverpool defence ain't bad but I see arsenal getting one through set pieces
There are UCL matches this week, by Thursday u would know if saka is okay or not
Just really bad variance, Arsenal not getting a CS over the last 3 game weeks is literally unheard of. With fixtures that easy, that was a banker. I’m just worried who to bring in for Saliba, Ait Nouri would be great on a wildcard, but is he really worth a transfer in?
Currently at net 61 (with Jimenez coming on for Saka) and Milenkovic to play. Somehow gone very well
Who would've thought that Pickford and Jackson would be my best picks this season so far😂
Still sitting at 2.5M tho, it's tough out here
Haaland is stinky, but slightly more stinky is the double and tripple ups on Arsenal defence. They struggle to keep cleans against lower sides because their high line is vulnerable to being hit on the break by teams that park the bus. When the bus is parked, the top 6 push most of their players into the battle of breaking down the block. City are similar.
think you're considering the fixtures a bit too much, specially with players like ipswich or man city defenders.. theyre just not good at keeping cleansheets
Fpl is beginning to be very sus with everyone selling saka minutes before the deadline and son getting an assist when he clearly shouldn't have... and can you sell haaland so he scores agian 💀
Edit: Sons assist is now gone as it should 👍
Broo son shot was on target and it came off areola after a slight deflection from todibo so yeah clear assist mate
@up0ffxman I guess you're part of the cartel, too 😂😂
@@up0ffxman regardless of anything else, it was clearly not an FPL assist.
Strange that they all did the exact same move just before the deadline..... Has got me wondering....
Personally think most FPL content creators overthink it and therefore don’t do well. 1 or 2 good FPL years doesn’t make you an expert, this goes for the creators too. Still love the content Ross x
At some point, we have to accept that Liverpool's defence is good. Being willing to have double Arsenal defence through Liverpool (H), Newcastle (A) and Chelsea (A) (before Saliba's red card) but worried about one Liverpool defender for Arsenal (A), Brighton (H), Villa (H) is madness. Trent or Konate should be in most teams. Especially for a team like yours which has no Liverpool.
I feel like I should check we've been watching the same premier league season so far. The one I've watched has Liverpool top of the table while only conceding 3 goals, conceding about 6 xGA, having the largest xG differential in the league, the best FPL defender we've ever seen and the FPL GOAT.
Feels like lots of people are living in last season still
Why are you saying this publicly? We're not going to win FPL if you leak our strategy!
They've had the easiest start to the season as any other team, they've defended well but the stats are slightly misleading
@@dylanmcgroarty949 when you adjust the xGA to account for fixture difficulty, they’re still the best…
@@danielcooper3868 i don't really run off stats like that deep mate, I see Liverpool have easy games, I see they have clean sheets haha
You also had McNeil on your bench 23:00
Got 52 points by the help of Triple Everton
Nah Ross, lots of the top picks blanked. I had a shocker too! 23 points 😭😂 Chin up, you're still our fave fpl youtuber! 👊❤️
Thank you mate!! 🙏🏼
Surprised you arent looking at strand larsen considering hes a mil cheaper than cunha, has a terrific fixture run coming up and keeps returning at a very similar pace to cunha, just feels like SL gets overlooked a lot when he could be a good shout for ppl with tight budgets
Shhhh its a secret
Really glad I didn't go double Arsenal defence and I am not big on Solanke as a pick at all. The spread of points at Spurs puts me right off them. KDB coming back will make a big difference to EH's output. I got 41 and still have Sels and Wood to go tonight. I wish I had captained Salah.
Got 56 points with eze to play🥳hopefully he finally does get a result and validate my questionable transfer for him this gw😭
Nah I can’t believe this. I’m still without haaland so far and another green arrow for me which puts me in the top 200K in the world 🫢 GW8 47 points with Wood left.
I’m still with my wildcard and considering using it just for the good Arsenal games ahead and still don’t want to put halaand in my team (thoughts 🤔)
Thx for the tips that you gave so far Ross much appreciated. YANITED! 👊❤️
49 points at the time of writing with Aina to play tonight, happy with it compared to what some people have had tbh, captain Salah to the rescue
Hey Ross, very fatigued by FPL at the moment but honestly watching the videos gets me excited for it every week. You're an absolute champ mate ❤
Captained Salah, got 50 points with Sels left to play against Palace
On 16 points with Wood and Henderson to come so doubt I'll beat you. Like you I thought my team was good!
