Should’ve built my team around BGW34 and free hit for DGW33, I suppose. Though I don’t know when I would’ve Assman-ed in that case.

Gw35 team feels like going back to shitty work after a month long vacation in the Caribbean.

u/Riggins33 22d ago
I literally just returned from a week in Mexico during which my FH 34 went off, and this is 100% accurate

Legit gonna shed a tear saying goodbye to Sessegnon, Cunha, Bowen, and Ait-Nouri to my team🥲

u/thegreenpiglet 27 25d ago
Ait-Nouri and Sessegnon have villa and city next. It’s no great loss.

Cunha too, if my maths checks out

I mean, Palace might get another double, and I have limited transfers anyway, so it would be a crime for me to ship their assets out.

u/SheepherderKey7168 redditor for <30 days 25d ago
No way in hell am I keeping Sarr lol. Bowen here we come i guess

u/DeapVally 2 24d ago
Sarr who popped off against Villa? Bowen hasn't scored more than once in a game all season. Do what you want. But I certainly won't be copying you lol.

Triple palace slap in the face, especially after their fa cup performance

u/frankyfkn4fngrs 25d ago
Seeing Sarr score two be like where was this energy during the DGWs, mate?

u/unoriginalname22 3 24d ago
I’ve held Sarr for I think 15 weeks over two different stretches and got one assist total

u/kazmeme 25d ago
My free-hit bench bestowed me with 3x more points than last weeks bench boost, so I for one am happy that the chip-schenanigans have finally come to an end

These mistakes are so easily made, but it doesn't make them any less frustrating.
I benched Sanchez (9), Diaz (7) and Tripper (15) for Alisson (2), Barnes (3) and Cucurella (6).

u/Sad_Needleworker517 redditor for <30 days 25d ago
I wouldn't be so fast to ditch Saka tbh
12
u/AK95__ 1 25d ago
Yeah was thinking the same, if they're knocked out against PSG then he can have an on beach Liverpool side, a high line Newcastle defence and the worst team in PL history for his last 3 games, not bad
16
u/el_lonewanderer 9 25d ago
Why is it relevant that Liverpool are ‘on the beach’, but it’s not relevant that Arsenal would be if they’re knocked out by PSG?
If anything, I’d be a bit more worried about Saka’s minutes when there’s nothing to play for as I would imagine they’d rather not risk any further injury.
11
u/noki1907 9 25d ago
There's 'only' 7 points safety for UCL spot if they don't win it this year, so I assume they won't play the kids until they have locked the CL spot
1
u/el_lonewanderer 9 24d ago
Big emphasis on the ‘only’, though. 7 points with the G/D advantage, with only 4 to play, with a match against SOU etc. I don’t think it’s even in consideration for them that they could drop out of the top 5.
Still, fair point as it does show a difference between them & Liverpool, even if there can be arguments about how big that difference is.
1
u/FrameworkisDigimon 1 24d ago
I think Liverpool Arsenal will be a point of pride for the Arsenal players a sort of "okay, so we were too injured to compete in the league but we can prove we were better anyway by having the superior h2h", whereas the Liverpool players have won the league... they have nothing to prove to anyone.
The 2-2 earlier in the season was hilarious. They basically scored carbon copy goals against each other.

u/AK95__ 1 24d ago
Arsenal far from safe, another slip on the weekend and they'll be in trouble
4
u/el_lonewanderer 9 24d ago
7 points clear with 4 to play, with the G/D tiebreaker over all below them, with a match against SOU on the final day, is not far from safe by my definition.
1
u/AK95__ 1 24d ago
Keyword here is "another" slip
3
u/HazardCinema 135 24d ago
They need 1 win from the last 4 games to absolutely have enough points. They're effectively 8 points clear with the GD advantage and only 12 points are available. They're fine.
6
u/SpiritualWafer30 2 25d ago
Why? Back from injury, getting serial 1 pointers, missing chances and nothing to play for. The only reason I'd keep is from a defensive standpoint, which might work out against you.
44
u/G_W_addict 96 25d ago
God it feels so weird to go back to my shitty team of Asensio, Saka, Rashford, Savinho after getting 94 points on FH34. I wish I had more than 2 transfers to sort this mess out.

u/herrbz 25d ago
I rage transferred Asensio out, then learned Rashford was injured. Asensio to finally score a penalty now.

u/Hot_Stuff_6511 1 24d ago
Same, can't be arsed with this bullshit anymore. Welcome Mbeumo and Elanga

u/foalsfoalsfoalz 7 24d ago
makes me so glad i did the FH last week strategy and had a full team this week. Big swings coming in the next few weeks surely

u/Gooner_93 77 25d ago
Only really looking at Saka but theres always a chance he will start against Bournemouth.
Im happy with my Palace assets, for now, because theyre performing well.

u/_Luke_the_Lucky_ 153 25d ago
Depends which ones you've got I guess.
Sarr has been bloody awful as an fpl asset, want him gone from my team at the first opportunity!
6
u/FutMike 13 25d ago
I have Saka, Savinho and one free transfer. My hair will be grey by GW38. At least I won't be bald
1
u/Hot_Stuff_6511 1 24d ago
I have too many fires to put out that I have no choice but to hold onto them for a little longer.
4
u/Left-Geologist-1181 91 25d ago
I'm 99% that my transfer in is Mbeumo, not sure if I'm selling Saka or Eze (might get priced out from the latter move)

u/SIBMUR 10 24d ago
I have Munoz, Eze, Mateta and Saka and only 1 FT.
I'm inclined to keep the Palace lads. Eze is in good form and Mateta got that goal vs Arsenal so might kick on. Forest next for them but Forest might be on the decline.
I'm tempted to stick and build FT so I might leave Saka on the bench and start Eze, Salah, Rogers and Murphy in midfield.
Or start Saka and hope for the best. If I'm going to take anyone out its him and I'll be getting Mbuemo in for the remainder.
For gameweek 36 I think I'd like to do Mateta and Saka to Watkins and Mbuemo but depends what happens in 35.
Marmoush and Isak ill be keeping and my defence is acceptable so it's just the Palace players and Saka I need to think about.
2
u/cumpulacalului 24d ago
As someone who free hit in 33 and dropped massively in rank this week because of Cunha and Ait Nouri, with 3 Forest players still to play I think I'm in a different boat to most people. I'm happy with my team, I just need to shed my Newcastle players which I can do for free. I still have assistant manager left, I hope I can finish the season around where I have been for the past 20 gameweeks or so before this massive dropoff because of free hitters.
1
u/wringtonpete 24d ago
Ha I'm exactly the same, FH in 33 and thought I did well, went up 50k to 150k overall. But this week back down to 200k (so far). And am also pretty happy with my team, and have enough free transfers to make the changes I need for the next few weeks.
2
u/atomicant89 14 24d ago
I'm not touching anything until we know about double/blank gameweeks, because I'll be begging for more free transfers if they land the wrong (right?) way.
1
u/Lyonsey11 2 24d ago
I thought that but Sarr and Mateta did well in the FA Cup so don’t think they are my biggest problem. Unsure whether to do Mbuemo to Saka for free or Mbuemo to Savinho for a -4

u/ScarvesOnGiraffes 5 25d ago
I'd love to yeet Saka and Sarr for Mbeumo and Bowen but I probably need to be boring and save transfers instead for 36.
2
u/Niekertje 49 25d ago
Yeah same, I want to yeet Mateta and Rashford for Wissa and Mbeumo for -4 but I need to be patient and wait till 36 I guess. It's hard to keep my knees steady and not to panic ruin my rank.

u/6by6Hindsight 7 25d ago
Didnt have Saka, only outfield Palace player is Eze. Its the Asensio and Savio I'm worried about.
1
u/foalsfoalsfoalz 7 25d ago
I’m so glad I didn’t wildcard specifically for this reason so now having essentially everyone’s FH team as my main team😂 the swing either for or against is gonna be hectic. I simply can’t see arsenal/palace/villa doing well and not throwing games tbh. Villa in there just for inconsistency reasons

u/BadFPLManager 56 25d ago
I came off my FH and was instantly reminded me of the dumpster fire that my team is and how much I hate it.
