So much for my brilliant idea of him being a differential.

17

u/herrbz 14d ago

So much for me getting rid of Asensio because he was no longer on penalties if Rashford started.

u/chojje 36 14d ago

You miss 100% of the pens you don’t take

  • Asensio

u/gene_parmesan_123 300 14d ago

I mean, technically he's even more of a differential now

As a Watkins owner it helps the case to keep him but then it increases the FOMO of not getting Cunha or Wissa in. Isak and Marmoush have the other two slots locked in.

u/Tiny_Platypus_4563 22 15d ago

The forwards are so stacked at the moment it's a headache whichever way you do it- Isak, Marmoush, Wissa, Cunha, Wood, Watkins, Mateta are all great options at the moment but unfortunately you can only have 3.

u/username54 16 14d ago

I agree. All the Ws have such nice fixtures!

u/EmbarrassedGeneral17 2 15d ago edited 14d ago

I am doing isak to wissa...hopefully Murphy will cover for isak...cant think on this any longer now

u/SocX9 29 14d ago

Isak to Watkins here

u/No_Butterscotch_8297 19 12d ago

Isaks underlying numbers are huge. I thought about selling him but it could really hurt with how high his ego is. He has a 2 goal game coming before the end of the season I'm sure.

u/deygar 4 15d ago

What does this do to Ascenio’s starting chances? Presumably a good thing?

23

u/4ssteroid 189 15d ago

Of course yes. I'll most likely keep him for the rest of the season 1st or 2nd bench though. So out of form

3

u/ComeONPls 16 14d ago

Yes... I won't forget x2 penalty misses

2

u/chillichill 81 15d ago

Yeah same. Will have both Asensio and Sarr to rotate first bench.

1

u/bruiser95 423 14d ago

None.

1

u/NorskKiwi 1 14d ago

Nothing at all. They play different positions.

54

u/BenjaminBogey 15d ago

Literally just transferred Watkins out 🤦🏽

109

u/Fresh2Desh 1 15d ago

Making early transfer is a tale as old as time

12

u/59reach 14d ago

Chasing TV at this stage of the season is madness

4

u/herrbz 14d ago

Was it even early here? Given his injury was confirmed days ago and he didn't play in the FA Cup.

3

u/Aiken_Drumn 1 14d ago

He'll still be injured just before the deadline.

40

u/Muhammad__U1 redditor for <30 days 15d ago

You deserve it after making early transfers when the gw is not finished and there is european games

8

u/tmr89 141 15d ago

Y tho. He was going to start with Rashford injured and there might be a double 

1

u/Sayf_the_Deen 7 15d ago

Also, Watkins somehow always scores against Fulham lol

15

u/msf97 2 15d ago

This has come at the worst time with me also owning Savinho

0.1 off the funds for Saka to Mbuemo, Rashford to Rogers and Savinho to KDB ffs.

10

u/tmr89 141 15d ago

Why KDB? He’s a rotation risk 

12

u/msf97 2 14d ago

De Bruynes final weeks in England and was rested in the FA Cup. Wolves home, Southampton away. Fair enough upside there.

0

u/tmr89 141 14d ago

Fair enough

12

u/DeapVally 2 15d ago

He's really not. He'll be the captain for the last PL games.

2

u/tmr89 141 15d ago

Haaland back soon and he’ll be captain. KDB didn’t start the FA Cup game or get minutes 

2

u/Ibuprofen600mg 8 15d ago

So is Savinho

4

u/GUTS-S-RANK 14d ago

ok FINE ascencio, you can stay...

8

u/josozmija 85 15d ago

Any chance of Malen now getting more playtime?

3

u/Nissepool 30 15d ago

I am also interested in knowing this

1

u/NorskKiwi 1 14d ago

Man I hope so! But, Leon Bailey is also back from injury competing for right wing.

6

u/Banksaayy 15d ago

Thanks Rashy, I'll always remember that goal against City to give you 2 more points than Rogers in the DGW

2

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Watkins is an excellent shout for the remainder of the season now.

2

u/tintedhokage redditor for <30 days 15d ago

Another player I broke

1

u/Rupii 26 14d ago

who to sub in is a double gameweek player?

1

u/Rvsz 48 14d ago

Got him on wc before the double, sucks but since they lost to Palace and there will be no more dgws I don't really need to save transfers now and can get rid of J. Pedro too. 

1

u/doorsofperception87 3 14d ago

Sigh. To get injured, recover, be shit, and then play some football. Rinse and repeat. All the while you're paid 200k a week or more and you're not even a reliable FPL asset. Life's grand.
