Focal, do you remember the Man City game home vs. Blackburn about 10 seasons ago. Blackburn were the team to target, so Aguero (c) and David Silva (v) was a popular pick. Mancini benched both of them, and they didn't play a single minute. Zero points for the captaincy. Painful.
Think it was 2 seasons ago my mate Clive triple captained KDB think he got an assist first game 2nd he bagged 4 and jumped from 9th to 2nd in our mini league we all hated him and his jam
You're missing the gameweek in 2015 where Cédric for Southampton was taken off after 59:40 of a game - FPL didn't round up his minutes to 60. Yoshida replaced him and was on for 30:20 - yet they rounded up his minutes to 31 - which went against their logic. They made up a rule on the spot after this controversy that you had to play over 60 to get clean sheet points.
No one will forget that Bednarek had the most negative FPL points in a single game due to own goals💀. Worst of all, there are lots of FPL managers who captain/vice-captain him, or getting him automatically subbed in by accident.
I mean, if you're captaining a defender that's not known for scoring points or getting a CS, it's really on you at that point, as for the fella who TC'd him, stupid decision and honestly deserved -21
Lol, I had marcus alonso captained that gw, watched salah get 24 points and prayed alonso was benched, he was, and stayed benched for me to reap the rewards haha
Hi Focal, you missed a key issue; Bednarek's red card was overturned! With two of the goals being scored after he was sent off, it could have been a season defining cock-up. Imagine if Saints had been relegated on goal difference.
That Wilson vs Isak difference cost me 1st place in my mini league. My mini league rival used a late GW36 wild card and he took it away. I cant be mad, I finished in the top 6k and he finished in the top 4K, he deserved it. Cant wait for the new season to start.
My worst/funniest FPL moment was when the Man United fans stormed the stadium while protesting against the team owners, right before ManU v Liverpool, resulting in the entire game being cancelled! I had used my bench boost, and ended up getting exactly 0 points for it, since half of my team ended up with a blank. Why Salah Why?!?!
Sometimes, you just have to step back from the initial disappointment and realise you’re witnessing FPL heritage. The memes after the Dennis red were peak FPL Twitter 😂. Got me my most liked tweet.
Always remember 2014-15 Man U win at home 4-0 to qpr di Maria debut, Tyler Blackett playing full back, young lad cheap option, my mate transfers him in only for the next game to be that famous 5-3 loss to Leicester, and Blackett got a red card 😅😅
The infamous FPL servers have got me couple times when we have gotten early team news just before the deadline and the servers have crashed. Wish they'd just move the deadline to the kick-off
i remember during the covid times, my captain was on a team that had their game called off and i had triple-captained him. the triple captain boost didnt get pushed to vice captain and lost the chip. pissed off to say the least.
one of my fondest fpl memories is captaining stuart dallas v city that gameweek. i had a bet with my friends to captain him for 2-3 gws straight to prove a point that it would return big it was go big or go home kinda strategy but it paid off went from 1 million to under 100k. good times
Shocking how many of these affected me, I had Mane, March, Gabbiadini, Cancelo and Brunt in my teams during the aforementioned game weeks, I also had Jack Harrison in when he got the own goal credit on Marchs goal
That week I had isak and Wilson and I was unsure who would play. I knew both would but decided to captain isak the safe choice. Oh my word was i gutted i didnt chose wilson
I still remember the pain last season when I had Willock captain for a double gameweek, he assisted (pretty sure it was for the penalty tho I might be wrong), they added the points, then removed them, though luckily they readded them later thst day. 😰
Apart from Salah's Bournemouth blank, the only one of these I fell victim to was the Emmanuel Dennis red card and -1 in a double game week. I'd captained him too. I remember it well. I was away in Bath for my birthday. This almost ruined my weekend away I was so pissed off 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had plans on buying Isak on that day in the 22/23 season but bought Wilson instead *by mistake*. for the first time ever, my clumsiness helped me. Was a hilarious week seeing my friends fuming 😭
Sané was the worst ever for me, you forgot to mention aguero getting a hattrick the same week. Most people used TC on the city double and it was a 50/50 between Sané and Aguero as Aguero's minutes were being managed and Sané was flying. 56 Point TC difference was brutal.
I wonder why they updated the Sels BPs the day after (he was given 2 BPs after Spurs game, was reduced to 1 BP next day) if there’s a rule that it’s locked after the matchday I’m not talking about Gameweek Live etc. He got 9 points on PL app when the bonus points were in. This was changed to 8 next day somehow
I wouldn't descibe a player blanking when expected to get a massive haul or vice versa as contraversial you might get a bad beat but their is no controvery. Controversies are where the organisers have to deal with an event that was not envisaged in the rules (e.g. the Bournemouth Luton abandonment) and possibly things like the Son being declared injured when he wasn't. I also vaguely remember soeone being benched and a few people got wind of it as all his team mates dopped him from their fantasy team.
Yeah it's not the perfect word, this one used to be called Most Unpopular or Most Frustrating, something like that and it got absolutely no views haha. TH-cam is weird with video titles so I sometimes mess with them and the thumbnails after publishing 😅 as long as the content is good enough people don't mind too much.
Bro you just had to remind me of my isak v wilson mistake huh 😂 I thought I was so clever having both. Ended up playing it safe and captaining Isak bcs of the minutes. Ended up 2nd in my 30-man mini league and I ended up a literal point outside the top 100k 😭😭😭
GW 26 22/23 season . I switched captain to salah by deadline but it didnt save it. So captain was on haaland i believe, Salah scites 21 pts vs Man . United . GW 8 I believe - Started Son on my team only to see he was benched by Conte. Then he come on to score a hatrick
My fantasy premier team was not a current one by any means it was really weird side I played 3-4-3 GK tim krul my center backs John Terry , rio ferdinand, Vidic in midfield at RM I had Adam Johnson, my 2 CM players lampard, Lee cattermole left midfielder fabio borini attack LW eto ST Wayne Rooney RW Drogba
Sry for it not being related to vid but great vid but I'm albanian and I have a lot of intel on albanian footballers and I can confirm broja is close to joining west ham could be a good pick for FPL it hasn't been confirmed by Fabrizio but broja wasn't included due to "precautionary concerns" but had been training normally last 4 weeks he could be joining west ham but great vid oscar what do u think oscar on this
Covid wild card was infamous for me, it should have happened. I used my wildcard chip a week before covid closed down prem and then everyone got a free wild card for some reason?
Would you recommend Anderson and Torres or Gabriel and Beyer because Torres and Anderson rotates very nicely also would j rather have fernandes or foden

Havertz vs Norwich was actually the same week as when Salah scored a hatrick against Man Utd. Not vs Man City.
To top it off his teammate mount grabbed a hattrick and an assist for 24 points
@@struanwilliamson9687I actually sold Mount for Havertz that week to captain Havertz, horrendous
Lol, I had marcus alonso captained that gw, watched salah get 24 points and prayed alonso was benched, he was, and stayed benched for me to reap the rewards haha
I remember that gameweek one of my fav my team won 7-0 king scored a hat rick and I captained salah
Knew instantly the salah blank was coming haha
Still can't believe that. Seems impossible but it happened
I captained March for that DGW. Would've outscored all the Mitoma, Haaland, and MacAllister captainers that week. I'll never forget that injustice!
Same! What could’ve been… 😅

having kdb in that infamous gameweek in 21/22 where he got an assist against newcastle then scored 4 against wolves
I transferred him in the week before and captained him and am still living off that moment now 😂

👏
I did captain antonio vs watford when he scored 4 and was listed as a midfielder, gained about 1mil rank that week since everyone did horribly haha
That Dennis incident gives me nightmares
I went to my first FPL meet up for that game, spirits were high heading in
I litterally quit the whole season after the week that Havertz blanked.
Oh the pain of watching and listening to some of those! Firmly in the filing cabinet of "Why do I bother with FPL?" 🤦♂️
Great video 😉👍
Not buying Dennis remains my greatest achievement in FPL.
Well played, I had him but captained King and even that felt like a small victory despite blanking in both
Love that little wander through head-in-hands history! A much-needed breather from the inevitable draft updates.
OH NO..... I had buried the memory of the Mane Madness , but now Dr Oscar has forced me to remember in Focal Therapy 😂

4:40 Pretty sure it was the Man United away game for Salah,not City
5-0, hat-trick and an assist 😅
Triple captained Sane. It still keeps me up at night.

Where do you get all this past data? is there a way we can see previous season player results?
Dennis and my Mane Triple Captain 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
That Isak Wilson debacle really hurt

I’ll never recover from the Dennis -1
Went to that watford game vs norwich and captained dennis, oh how it backfired and a 3-0 loss😂
I think you forgot in the last season. Wilson scored 19 pts. Lots of people buy him in but in the next GW he only scored 1pt due to his injury
I'm still salty about march 😂
I remember that I didnt bench Dallas vs mci that week. I was feeling like a king
👑
I'm still salty about that March goal not being given. #JusticeForMarch
That was a crazy day on FPL twitter haha. I had him captain as well!
Apart from Salah's Bournemouth blank, the only one of these I fell victim to was the Emmanuel Dennis red card and -1 in a double game week. I'd captained him too. I remember it well. I was away in Bath for my birthday. This almost ruined my weekend away I was so pissed off 😂
The Son one 😢 I could cry
I remember when Liverpool beat 7-0 Man United. I captain Mo Salah as Liverpool played Bournemouth. We all know what happened.

I wonder why they updated the Sels BPs the day after (he was given 2 BPs after Spurs game, was reduced to 1 BP next day) if there’s a rule that it’s locked after the matchday
I’m not talking about Gameweek Live etc. He got 9 points on PL app when the bonus points were in. This was changed to 8 next day somehow
King and Dennis actually still hurts me, I triple captained him for -3 fml
That Darwin red card last season still gets me heated when I think about it 🤬
I actually still havent got over the Mane TC 1pointer
Same 😂 it was one of those cases where you can make the right call and get unlucky, can never account for that sort of thing
in the havertz incident salah was playing against man united he scored ahatrick
Yeah I was one of those who brought Cancelo and captained him. And then he went to Germany.
Would you rather have Ederson, Ensico, Botman, 4.5M FW or Adebayo, mitoma, Pickford, Baldock
Honourable mentions :
Grealish 21 vs LIV
Cathcart -5
Good shouts!
I remember benching Son for his 24-point haul😢
Great video Óscar , biggest one is DENNIS for me
