They've got to be one for the most underwhelming teams in PL history, anyone actually owned any of their players this season?

Nobody panic, we’re not just gonna pretend that shit earlier on in the week never happened.

GW30: - Arteta mindfucks everyone with Saka on the bench, just for him to come on and instantly score.

• Gabriel and Aina both leave with an injury inside the first half.

• Doesn’t even matter, Muniz wiped Arsenal’s clean sheet at the last minute after committing one of the WORST missed sitters I’ve ever seen in the history of football.

• Mateta blanks and Palace concede their first away goal in 3 MONTHS to fucking Southampton.

• Ipshit wipe Bournemouth’s clean sheet too. Kluivert overslept.

• Bruno and Bryan. One the 5th most transferred in, one the 5th most transferred out. One did fuck all, one scored a penalty. Have a guess. (I’ll collect my poetry award later)

• Oh yeah and Salah ghosted. Fun fact if you captained Mo, you still got less points than by just having Ait-Nouri in your team.

GW31: - Arteta mindfucks everyone with Saka on the bench, just for- oh. Never mind.

• Triple Palace - never in doubt. Not for a second. Now who here thought they’d be clever and get Guehi instead of Muñoz?

• Muniz dances past Virgin Van Dick to secure a win against Liverpoo.

• Palmer benched…wot?

• Spurs find their level with a win against Southampton. That guy who captained Brennan Johnson is putting the champagne on ice as we speak.

Edging closer and closer to the finale. See you next week.

While we are waiting for tomorrow's Isak masterclass, I made a list of most of the popular assets who blanked, or just didn't bother show up today. How many do you own ?

If I forgot one, let me know

'City don't keep clean sheets' myth debunked. Palace and City both have five cleans in their last ten, more than any other club.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Forest have four in their last ten.

First of all, solidarity to my fellow Van Hecke owners who brought him in as part of a plan to bench boost in 32; opting for him over Dunk due to minutes concerns. We’re few and far between but I know you’re out there.

Assuming you still plan to bench boost in 32, who will you be moving him to? I have £5.1m available and I’m currently considering Ait-Nouri, Williams or just a sideways move to Dunk or even Estupinan (I already have Milenkovic and Konsa).

Arsenal and City(now Villa) usually share FPL points among their attackers. These teams are going to rotate even more now with UEFA quarters around the corner. The likes of Saka, Rashford, Watkins, Martinelli give no guaranteed minutes to FPL managers.

On the other hand, players like Isak, Mbuemo, Milenkovic have guaranteed minutes and are bound to outscore DGW players with similar profiles.

How would you pick one over the other in such cases? Also, some players like Isak and Mbuemo might have been bought at lower prices by many. Is it risky selling them for a 0.5m less than the current CPs?

anyone who planned to AM 31-33, glasner was a very strong candidate for 32. With two red cards, two players suspended for the match against city, is it still worth it in 32?

I’m not a palace fan, so I don’t know how much of an affect guehi and nkietah have, although I imagine guehi loss is quite important?

So the classic BB strat I see people using is for large DGWs. But these tend to be followed by large BGWs like in 33/34. For people that do not have the chips for WC->BB->FH, it seems impossible to get 4 DGW bench players and even then, these are mostly cheap defender spots that you are boosting.

So what's the hype with DGW boosts? Are that many people committing 3 chips to getting an extra fixture for their 4.5m bench players? Is it just placebo that you feel better when the week reaches 100+ points (actually very real :D)?

Thought it’d be fun and interesting to research FPL for my dissertation. It literally takes just 2 minutes to complete, and I’d really appreciate it if as many people as possible could help out!

Specifically around how FPL affects match viewership, second-screen behavior, and fan loyalty.

Thank you!!

I think as a positive note, it is a chip that certainly has made people a bit more excited when playing FPL.

To me there are certain things they can improve, if the chip was going to stay as a permenent one through out the years.

1. Why make the chip eat up the quota of 3 players per team? That's one of the reasons that the chip is getting criticized for not being well thought out. There is no reason for it to count as one of the three players quota. It makes it a frustration to use the chip, as you will have to waste a transfer, and worst, take a -4 to get one of the players from your team out.

2. In a similar logic, why make it count as one of a transfer count at all (to change the manager across three game period). Make it free so that you can change once per gw for the 3 gw period, would make it more sensible.

3. Make the managers free of price. There's no reason to have a price on managers, especially when they are not fluctuating. And who makes the prices anyways? You're leading to more criticism and the fact that it eats up your budget is pretty stupid as well, as you are constrained by the chip you are playing.

4. Why can't you use other chips during the 3 gw period of AM? Again, there's no reason to constrain the chip that way. Open the flexibility up and people would have more fun in strategizing how to use the chip.
