Game week 11 came and just when I thought I am getting a hang of how to effectively manage my team, something always pop up on my substitute bench and I can only use one bench boost, how else am I supposed to know when to use it? I know it's a falcated risk and sometimes it works for you while sometimes it doesn't work for you.
I read the message of @olawalium that said he knew he kept Salah for that long because he had a feeling that the moment he takes him out of the team he would perform and that's what happened. A lot of people feel this way with Salah too. They have kept him for too long and cost them points and the moment they took him out, now he started performing. FPL can get you frustrated sometimes 😂. The same thing happened with those who traded Ivan Toney only for him to bag hattrick the next game 😭.
In my case, my substitute seem to be doing better and no matter how much I rotate them thinking lesser matches would make some thrive, I still keep getting frustrated with the line up. Andreas has been in my team since day one and he only gives me lesser points until I got Trossard. Now, for three games, Andreas keeps getting between 5-6 points with others struggling. I will stick him to the line up now and he would not perform again 🤣. This team should stop messing with my emotions.
It wasn't the best of week 11 for me in terms of my FPL because Haaland struggled, Gabriel Jesus didn't perform to expectation and Foden's goal was ruled out for Haaland's infringement. Lloris performed and gave 10 points last week after I always stick with Alisson...meaning I had a 10 points player on the bench which was unaccounted for in my overall points. I decided to give Lloris a run since they were to play Everton and I didn't know how the game with Liverpool and Manchester City would go, only for Alisson to get more points; 14 points than Lloris; 6 points. I wasted 8 points again there. This game is tricky and I am getting frustrated.
Some teams won't be playing on Tuesday and that's Arsenal and Manchester City and they dominated my team. With just 2 free transfers, I don't know what to do which means my team would take a hit with the points based on these outstanding games as well.
Is this how managers sometimes feel with their selections? 😂 The life of a manager is not easy, no wonder they get bald and have grey hair so quickly due to heavy thinking. What can we say 😂.
How did your week go with your Fantasy Premier League team? This tally is low for me but it happens. Sometimes your selection pays off and sometimes it doesn't pay off. I'm still waiting for when I can use my triple captain to boost my points and hopefully my striker would score 4 goals that day 😂. We win some, we lose some.
Newcastle United played impressively against Manchester United as expected and I am happy I don't have any Manchester United players. I can't handle inconsistency in this team which I am still struggling with.
I am taking Andreas back into the team since Manchester City won't have any game on Tuesday. I haven't decided between Alisson and Lloris in goal. Tottenham would be playing Manchester United and I think that's another opportunity for Lloris to shine.
Cheers.
Gingered Up! ❣️
It happens man, far from a disaster week though. I have both Haaland and Salah. Intend to keep Haaland as captain for the whole season as it's too risky to change it as everyone has him. Happy to see people using Newcastle players as that's my club. No goalscorer last weekend but our defenders were good value. Good luck for the rest of the season!
I am glad you can relate to my plight on this. Yes, everyone keeps Haaland hahaha. Yes, Newcastle is a solid team and I love the players there. Thank you very much and good luck for the rest of the season too.
