I captained Bruno so I sincerely hope Salah starts on the bench and comes on with 1 min left. But I fully suspect that tweet will be nonsense.

In real life it's a manager's prerogative to play with 10 men if he wants. You wouldn't choose to damage your team if you could avoid it and zero points is better than negative. I say that as a non-Bednarek owner. I just think it doesn't make sense to be bringing on lower points than what you already have on the field. Obviously if there are other available subs then they don't get to jump the queue so they'd have to be a bit clever with the software. But in a situation where minus is the first sub then you should just deadend it with the guy on zero. But you wouldn't know that player was going to damage the team before you'd made the sub. You have to imagine that all the matches in the gameweek are played at the same time and so if one of your first 11 pulls out in the warmup you're going to bring someone else in, without the hindsight that that guy is going to get a red card, score an own goal, and concede 9. What is the most negative score ever? And what's the most positive for that matter? Plus what happens with goals conceded after a red card, I guess that player is still liable for them points-wise unlike a defender who is subbed off?

Sid4ever Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Well, now I am praying that Bamford gets over his dead leg, otherwise Bednarek is a definitely automatic sub, if the Salah tweet is true. #prayforPatrick (I feel so dirty now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's FPL being a bit over-zealous. I'd be amazed if he misses out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Bamford has himself in his own team still and he's active on fpl. Pretty sure he's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 A better week this time, 85 points with Son still to play. I captained Grealish for a change, which is slightly annoying as I took the captaincy from Bruno after some low scores. Moved up 130k places though.

Stevo985 Posted February 4, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've had a pretty good week. 88 points and I benched Son so hoping for a quiet game tonight. I had a full house this week. Every single player got me a return. Oh, except for Salah my captain. Obviously. It's now 10 gameweeks since my captain scored a goal.

Wainy316 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 99 points and Son to play. Late contributions for Jack and Ollie helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 96 points from me with returns from nearly everyone. Small green arrow of about 5k. Could really do with a bad week from Son though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Above average GW total for the season but still a relatively awful week for me compared to the people I'm competing with in mini leagues. Some leads eroded to nothing, some gone completely. 68 points all told and only my second red arrow in the last 16 weeks. Next week not looking too clever either.

Every time I've tried to be clever and different this season it's gone horribly wrong so I reverted to being boring and it's working wonders!

Yeah the only difference for me is the captain choice, like going for Watkins say instead of Son. I thought benching him was a pretty bold move actually, hoping he'll be ineffective without Kane tonight. That said, he's an early pick for my captain next week.

Farlz Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) No Spurs or Chelsea players so an 83 point week for me. Slightly annoyed because I made a very late change to captain Sterling instead of Salah before the deadline but forgot to save it which I didn't realise until yesterday morning but oh well still pleased with how it went. Nice haul from Justin you love to see it. Edited February 4, 2021 by Farlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted February 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) DGW confirmed for 24 and 25 24: Man city: Spurs then Everton Everton : Fulham then Man City Fulham: Everton then Burnley Burnley: Palace then Fulham 25: Leeds: Wolves then Saints Saints: Chelsea then Leeds And I feel dirty as whilst looking for benefiting players, I'm already loaded on City and Everton, Fulham have nobody who appeals and for a split second I actually considered picking Ben Mee.
