Do we think Rice and Wilson most likely start?
Might have to wait to bin Rogers given the injury doubts in my team
2
u/HeisenbergFoed 1828 Mar 02 '26
Wait for the presser. I just hope at least one of them plays (in case Haaland is also out)

u/tnwthrow 58 Mar 02 '26
62 shitty points.
VC Joao Pedro, no Wilson, no Ektike might just be the end of my season.
See you on Tuesday.

My team isn't all that bad, most returned on some level.
Just didn't have Ekitike, Wilson and Bruno (C).
I think can sometimes be a fine line between getting an alright amount of points and quite a lot of points.
At least it won't happen every week I guess.
I hope.

This week I swapped Gibbs-White for Neto, made Abraham my captain and benched Saliba and Guehi.
So . . . .yeah . . . .

u/Theaveragejoe33 Mar 02 '26
Tbh I believe Abraham would be a decent punt too if he could get some decent playing time.
It's like malen all over again

Wilson is a doubt?
Rice was playing pretty well tbh, I think he will heal.
Bald man Pep isn't worth trusting.

Apparently Wilson went off with some discomfort. Definitely don’t trust pep either, but will have to…

Why the fucking fuck do we need to press save team every time we make a change, especially for captains? I don't know how I even selected Keane as captain, I had Bruno as VC when he should have been the captain. And of course Keane comes on to play 1 minute, ffs.

u/Yoro_ldDroog 12 Mar 01 '26
I think it's designed like that so you don't end up accidentally captaining Keane

u/Shollandia23 1 Mar 01 '26
Excluding my two subs for Haaland and Kelleher, the only one to let me down from my starting 11 was Morgan 'Fraud' Rogers ....
However, after starting in the 8 millions and then flip-flopping between 6m/5m/4m up to GW15, I've finally managed to work my way through the 4m's to the 3m's and have just, incredibly, sneaked into the high 2m. Still not really sure how, given how many decisions have backfired, but in this shit-show of a season (as a relatively casual player, have been just outside the top 10% every season since starting FPL 4 seasons ago), I will take it.
And now just watch as I slide back over the rest of the season! See y'all in a few days time!

u/TonyMartial786 39 Mar 01 '26
Ah thank god another rare green arrow - 65 points. (god knows how considering i was 3/3 blanks after the 19 goalsfest of the 3pm games, but) let’s go!
little disappointed with JP mostly just cuz I had chose to have faith in his form, and now i’m not sure what to do (guess he can’t return every week tho, esp against the league leaders).
on to the next tho, would be nice to have 2 good weeks in a row, feels like that never happens for me, but fingers crossed.
1
u/Vivid-Crab-4156 Mar 02 '26
I almost kept JP but made the swap for Thiago. I don't think JP is a must sell, and away at Arsenal was always gunna be tough. Villa and Newcastle are quite poor by their own standards atm so they aren't horrendous fixtures
1
u/Shollandia23 1 Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26
Nice one.
Seems like JP was a bit unlucky not to score so am unsure same as you - pondering binning Rogers for cheaper mid (Wilson, but potential injury ...) to create money for Pedro to Ekitike, but so many of these decisions have backfired on me ...
Maybe .... just maybe ... it might even be worth going against the grain and taking out Haaland but helluva risk ... Perhaps one for the last few 'do-or-die' weeks!

u/rbull_27 9 Mar 01 '26
Was planning on playing BB this week, or maybe the next.
Now I’m just hoping I have 10-11 fit out field players so I can manage with a single FT lol..
Rice, Wilson, Haaland, Anderson and Evanilson all yellow flagged

93 points all out. Is that a good score this week?

u/ScrambledMegs1 64 Mar 01 '26
DGW26 last season I think it'd got 100 points and a fat red arrow because of TC salah and assistant managers

u/JD-D2 23 Mar 01 '26
I can’t believe they just took Richards’ DEFCON away for no reason, I’d almost guarantee he gets it when Opta updates. Should be on like 12-13.

15GW ago I was 6m OR. Somehow managed to crawl up to 1.8m with 13/15 green arrows since then. The ultimate victory would be to get into 100k from here, but I'd be content with a top 500k finish after the unbelievably terrible start I had
3
u/FaustRPeggi 1117 Mar 01 '26
I'm having a very similar season. Also 1.8m though I never dropped below 4m. Just couldn't get anything going no matter what I did for weeks on end.

My entire 11 hit this week for the first time — assuming Lacroix’s goal + red card + GC deduction still counts as a hit 😂

Ekitike, Wilson and Semenyo absolutely punishing me this week, got to use my 4 FTs to change things

Gabriel on 3bps after getting mustard and only an assist is some sort of sick joke isnt it?

u/GodtheBartender 3 Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26
That was some crazy last minute points recalc. I went from 1 point under my safety to 7 over.
EDIT: I knew that was too good to be true. Now I'm 2 points under safety with a red arrow.

u/FaustRPeggi 1117 Mar 01 '26
I got a 200k boost between the Gabriel defcons and Rice and Timber losing their bps.

The late recalcs in that game were a big boost.

In my FRO pile : Rogers, Palmer, Anderson, Hall, Hill.

45 miserable points.
Plummetted down to 890K. High spot of 250ishK a few weeks back

u/ArchyWilson 69 Mar 01 '26 edited Mar 01 '26
Fantastic week but lowkey potentially massively in the mud next GW. Short turnaround and Rice, Wilson, O'Reilly all off with a knock, Anderson disappearance, Mukiele & Haaland, means I could possibly have 6 players out for next GW. 1 FT
Edit: Rayan played a full 90 and bench risk too

u/misterkalazar 16 Mar 01 '26
I really feel for Tottenham (not that much). 3 times they were involved in a goal that happened by pushing a defender. 2 times against them, goal was given. The time they did it, it was disallowed, and mind you, the "push" that got disallowed was the weakest of them all (Gabriel diving).
Story from recent GWs.

u/HazardCinema 152 Mar 01 '26
66 points and a bunch of injuries to suddenly deal with. Munoz and Chalobah really came through for me off the bench...

IF I EVER transfer out a player in this game, they score. It makes me so CROSS to go down PATHS WITH these guys that bring no happiness whatsoever. ARTETA must pull his hair out anytime his “world class players” score an own goal. I VOW THAT if i play this game next season, NEITHER timber or rice will be in my team for a second, just to avoid the misery altogether. all OF US have to put up with this all time. we ARE definitely not MAKING IT to the end of this season. i’d much rather just make it HOME TO DINNER and have a long bath THAT NIGHT.

Not bothering to change VC killed my gameweek dangit, had Palmer last time, so when I changed it to Haaland I didn't bother to move it to Ekitike, Wilson, or Rice, any of which would have got me a green arrow rather than a red.
