EPL EPL SC 2025/26

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Traded out Pedro so of course he farking scores. Went to Cunha who was ok at least.

VC'd Bruno for 11 so I'll pass to C Halland.

 

[MrChristo]

VC Minteh...16 feels like too many to just pass up though

Me too. Tough call isn't it. Haaland has been huge at home...

Well done to everyone who jumped on Gabriel. I'm falling further and further behind without him.

No more 2D formations...

78 with 5 to play if I take the VC score. Not terrible. Still hanging in there...

Should be another good week for Foxman98

I hope you stuck with C Haaland. I took the 16

 

[MrChristo]

I did in the end. About to watch the highlights now.

They'll be some huge scores this week. I might get 140, but I've seen a few 180+ in a couple of leagues.

Could've been me if I read the updated Arsenal injury list and kept Saliba,

Gravenberch's 20 on the bench for Grealish's 4 currently hurts as well but 149 not the worst

 

[DZ4]

169 this week which is by far my biggest score yet. Pushed me into the top 1500/3%.

Team value of around 143m which would be higher if I jumped off Salah who’s about to burn me at AFCON. Enjoying this mode atm, the price fluctuations make it higher pace than the AFL version.

 

[Foxman98]

146 ****ing Gravenberch on the bench for the week climbed back 13 spots into 238

Fixing up my mistakes from the last 2 weeks taking a small punt on Wirtz finding some form but was best available at the value to get in Cali and the arsenal defenders are worth their weight in gold

Classic 4-4-2 for this week

 

[MrChristo]

****ing golden Arsenal defenders...

But, well done to everyone who's onboard!

I can't make up any ground if I jump on now so I'm just going to hope for the 'best'...[for me]

In a similar vein to the Wirtz punt, I'm having a crack at Jimènez.

Just Cucurella and Tarkowski in play at the back for me this week again...

(PS. My favourite moment of the day was seeing my defender deflect a ball into the goal for an effective -7. Superb )

Traded out Pedro so of course he farking scores. Went to Cunha who was ok at least.

Cunha's an interesting option

I think I'm trading him in for Gyokeres this week. Most will look elsewhere so big upside if he pops off

United have a decent run of fixtures and have no need to rotate. I've just got him to make some money really, I'll jump off at some point.

Obviously price plays a huge part, but two others who I'm still surprised that are under 3% ownership are the 4th and 5th highest scoring Forwards in the game.

Mateta has as many SiB and BC's as Haaland over the last 4 weeks, has far and away the 2nd best xGI numbers on the season and is still underperforming!

Reckon I'll just roll the dice now. I can't make up ground playing the "3 or 4 defenders" game, so I'll gamble on having 4 of 8 attacking players being <3% owned and hope for the best.

(Actually, looking at my defence I have Cucurella, a 7%, 3% and 2x 1% owned players.
Very soon I might be the only person looking forward to Opening Round. )

Speaking of, at this stage VCucurlla into the big guy of course.

Good luck all!

 

[Plugger35]

Traded in Mbeumo last week for Woltemade, he didn't score but he increased 1.2m in price while Woltemade dropped about 700k.

It's hard to find reliable strikers other than Haaland, I currently have him, Mbuemo and Saka as my 3 strikers.

I might end up trading Salah back in who has scored twice since I traded him in a couple of weeks ago.

.

 

[Foxman98]

What a shite week

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Thought I had a shit week, I guess everyone else did too. Anderson traded in this week which saved me.

 

[Chipmunk]

I had 2 players get negative points which is a reminder for me to put people on the bench with a non player onfield if at all possible!

I'm spewing I missed Mateta

All his underlying data was super good. But a big uptick on last season.
So wasn't sure about him

Then he had that big week and was out of reach for me

 

[MrChristo]

I mentioned it at the time, but I Free Hit in the Official FPL game that week and played him...
...but world have been handy here too!

I feel like I've been (uncharacteristically?) reactive this season, which is annoying me.
Really regret getting in Semenyo and not Mbeumo. (Although we can't help missed penalties of course.. )

83 for me which was near 7500 for the week, but gained nearly 200 spots to 1681 overall...
... which tells me that a hell of a lot of that top 1500-2000 are relying pretty heavily on Arsenal defenders.

Two weeks to wait, but really hoping that more than 1/4 of my attack can get involved next time around!

[This is my set up for next round, not how they were for this one].

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Poor round but not terrible. Im frustrated because i didnt gain much ground when i have no Arsenal defenders starting. The worst move ive made this season was going for Mosquera. I only did it because i believed Saliba to be out for a couple rounds and he could be a cheap way into Arsenal's defence, even if only for 2-3 rounds. Instead he has been benched and come on for scores below 5.

Then there is Acheampong who was also a short term buy but i was hoping id get one extra game out of him with his -9 BE, but not to be. Annoying, but in both cases, i really should've thought longer term instead of going for the cash grabs that could backfire...and did.

The nil all draw was decent for me though. Verbruggen & Munoz CS and Minteh & Mateta did decent with no attacking returns

Best move last week was probably grabbing D.Gomez who followed up his 32 with a 12. He went up by 3M and still has a BE of -20. I didnt field him though, which was a little annoying. Im happy regardless.

Then there is Salah, but im committed to holding until AFCON now. I got Mateta and the other (non-Haaland) options not named Saka are not really putting their hands up.

Probably no moves over the INT break

I did the same with Mosquera they said mid week last week he was out for a month only for him to be fine

 

[Foxman98]

Bringing Caicedo for Grealish in this week as well as Conor Bradley for Kyle Walker

Liverpool next 4 Forrest/West Ham/Sunderland/Leeds hoping they can pull their fingers out and get some C/S and he can bank me some cash (seems to be preferred RB)

Grealish been fairly poor outside of 2 early spikes (1/8 over 8) made his cash time to move on

Worth noting that he has 4 yellow's for the season, so one more will get him a week off.
(I'm in the same boat with Garner).

Just something to consider.

I'm starting to like the theory though.
Seriously considering VVD, with that run and Forrest being the most likely team to give up scores to CBs...
Willing to gain 4mil from Cucurella for equivalent fixtures I think...

Edit: They then have 3 of the next 4 at home including Leeds and WW...

Given the Gabriel injury I am now just doing similar and downgrading Kyle Walker to Virgil (Did I just say that?)

 

[Foxman98]

Mosquera SZN is back Ornstein saying 1-2 months for Gabriel

 

[Foxman98]

Munoz probably the best option for those like me without him as well as any of the other Palace defenders

Wolves/United/Burnley/Fulham/City/Leeds 4/6 really great matchups
