Gameweek 23: -I have garnacho on the bench🤯 -sold watkin for haaland 🤯 -My captain gordon injured In 4-4 game 🤯 -i decieded not to go for richarlison 2 weeks aho 🤯. Now its too Late. -only think that worked: I kept alvarez to get some differential. It worked, he played! But only Foden scores. 🤯 Rank 120k ->136k
Accidentally activated my BB, was mortified as I had Kabore and Taylor, the other 2 were Foden and Flekken for a 30 pointer, lots of Jam, 93pts in total, up from 60k to 25k
110 Points with Watkins (C) also had Foden, Richarlison. Having Trippier and Martinez (GK) helped though. Rolled my transfer, thanks Ross for your videos!
Actually, you have 8 blankers in gw26 if you count your flagged substitutes. You also want to add another Liverpool asset, if injured players aren't back by then you'll be looking at 7/8 blankers so it's either a -12 to get at least 10 players or a Free Hit, your team is not looking good at all right now.
💡On your transfers for the upcoming DGW/BGWs, I think what seems sensible to me is: This week you go Porro > Van Hecke (save £1.7m and also reduce BGW exposure), then that allows you to go Richarlison > KDB in gw25 (should just have the money), again reducing BGW exposure and also getting KDB for DGW25 💡 21:03
Another brilliant video, Ross. I do like the logic for a FH in 25 and I am going there. It allows up to 8-9 DGW and actually an easy route into 26. Otherwise we are all looking at hits to bring players and hits to remove them. You brought in Toney as a pick but why not Maupey - the guy is on a 5 game scoring streak. For you, just bring in Jota for Gordon.
Hi mate really happy you had a good gameweek for me wasn’t so good. Benched foden and owned konsa along with being a Liverpool fan😂. Thanks for all the content recently mate it been great!
Ups and downs in 2024. I did a WC under heavy sedation in GW20 and missed 21 in hospital Got Eze in gw22 Had a puncture Saturday morning and thought I had captained Watkins but it was still on KDB. Moreover my WC pick in20 came through with a 14 pointer. This game is crazy this year 😅😅 87. Sneaked into top 100k
What about FH 25 and prepare for blank 26. Yes you can't use TC but the upside of tripling up on Liverpool and Man City when many won't be able to and fielding a full 11 on 26 makes loads of sense?
Appreciate your take on the benching dilemmas mate, I got lucky last week with schar coming off the bench for Walker, this week I benched garnacho and played Rashford😅, had planned on playing garnacho but lack of DGW25 announcement made me do martinelli to Gordon Friday night, couldn’t have gone much worse! Now can’t get triple LIV for 25 ffs
Same as you bro - 86 and a green arrow . I made a prediction that every team would score against each other - fully expected next to no points from defence. Sh*t happens
I literally forgot to do my FPL this week, Foden stayed as my captain. 111points! I had this: Areola,(1) Saliba(1), Walker(2), estupinian (1), Gross (11) , Saka(9), Foden (C/ 40), Richarlison (15), Haaland (V/ 5), Joao Pedro(8), Watkins (18). Bench: Durbavka, Porro, doughty & Palmer.
The Liverpool/Luton match has been moved to the day after the last match in GW25 (City/Brentford). Surely that keeps it in GW26. Wouldn’t be much time till the deadline but it’d make it a hell of a lot easier to plan for GW26!
I've got Taylor and Konsa out as well. From being 10 players ready into GW26 with all the transfers used, down to 8 available. Might take 2 hits just to play 10 players.
Personally I think KDB will be a must have soon. Swap for Saka not the end of the world. Arguably Martinelli is a better option at the moment, less mins but very much on form. Love your honesty and content
This was probably one of, if not the worst gameweek of my fpl career. Planned on captaining Watkins but instead transferred him out for haaland. Transferred out salah for jota and it stood between him and foden. Also don’t own Richarlisson. Captained solanke 2pts. Went from 90k to 600k.
8 doublers for GW 25 (Adebayo, Osho, Doughty, Jota, Haaland, De Bruyne, TAA, Toney) with 2.5 M ITB and I plan to wing GW 26 and just use a free transfer from like a jota to saka and have around 6-7 players at least bringing in decent points to survive to GW 27
101 with Gordon captain with Rich, Watkins and Foden in my team. Other captain options I was going for was Palmer or Haaland so destined to miss out on those big scores!
84 points. so nearly captained watkins as well but chose palmer in the end. still im top of my cash league and around sitting 77000 ish. binned bowen this week for neto.
Foden hardly does anything for me so it was easy for me to have sold him before gw 23. Surprise, surprise....he scored a hattrick in gw 23. Thx Philip!!!!!
Would you consider Palmer -> Jota instead of Gordon. Would eliminate benching headache this week and Palmer has tough GW 25 and blanks in 26 where as Gordon has BOU in 25 and plays 26.
Didnt have Foden, and that's caused a bad red arrow. Absolutely gutted. Thought I was gonna break into the top 100k after 7 straight green arrows. I can't with this game man.
I had Richi, Porro and Palmer. Currently no Liverpool assets. Unclear if I should bring 1 in for 25 considering gw 26. Dont really want to get rid of porro as I have money tied up in him
@@SayfTheDeen 58. Dropped from 342k to 487k overall. If I had capt Watkins like I was inclined to instead of Haaland, I still would have had a red I think, but wouldn't have hurt my mini league rank as much as it did
My plan is Saka to Jota, Solanke or Watkins to Haaland then maybe a cheeky GK move Dubravka to Allison. He is expensive but get the extra game (maybe more later on) and he rotates really well with Areola. Note that I am steering into a free hit in 29.
Looking at Luis Diaz over Jota. Not sure I can justify the 0.7 difference for Jota given I’m only buying them for 24 and 25 and the difference really helps me getting Toney also
Hi FPL Raptor.I hope you are well. This is my team. GK:Areola,Dubravka DEF: Burn,Gusto,Porro,Mengi,Baldock MiD:Foden,KDB,Palmer,Saka,Jota ATT: Mubama,Watkins,Haaland. I got 1 free transfer and my chips are: freehit,WC2,TC,BB chips left & 4.9 in the bank. Not sure if it is best I freehit in Gameweek 26/29. But, I plan to TC in Gameweek 25 on Haaland,KDB,Jota. Any advice on which transfers to make to best captalize on gameweek 24 and double gameweek 25 & Blank 26 ?
I have the same set up regards double players, I have just enough money to drop Saka for Debrune and Gordon for Garnacho, so the rough plan will be to wait and hope Saka will blank in 29. Another plan is to drop pedro and Saliba for Ake and Virgil -4
83 point's for me..Slightly disappointed as I bought Haaland in a week early for Pedro who scored 8.Had captain on Watkins prior to the Haaland move..Brutal swing of 16 points
Liverpool forwards is to hard to predict, whoever is playing in the final I don't think they start against Luton which is the best fixture and they will more than likely not play 90 minutes against Brentford especially when Salah is due back and will need fitness minutes. You are then back to 5 forwards and only 3 places. and for me Jota is 4th choice, he could maybe get 160-190 minutes in the next 3 and then he blanks/Forest(A) and then City I'm leaning towards Man City assets tbh. They have a double and a great fixture in 26 and Pep hasn't been rotating that much recently.
Weirdly feel disappointed with a green arrow. Richarlison, Watkins, Saka, Foden, Palmer, Pedro all owned except Palmer Cap and benched Foden. 77 points. 800k rank and feels like a big opportunity to gain rank missed. On to the next week
92 points for me this week :) up to 30k-ish,. Highest i've ever been. My move this week is more than likely going to be Palmer to Jota, that way i'm not adding another gw26 blanker to my squad and he doesn't have the best fixture run.
he does, what I mean is i'm replacing someone who blanks with another player that blanks. I'm not adding to the amount of blanks I have to worry about.@@narenramachandran
I'm currently running without Haaland. It's just so much money to spread around and I've really enjoyed having to think a bit more about captain rather than ultimately defaulting to putting it on haaland. I'm thinking about having Ederson for the double and 2 liverpool players so it's fairly easy to navigate the next couple weeks. Hoping over the next 4 or so weeks and no taking hits it'll all even out!
Bag on 100 pts with 10 MEN! Garnacho Foden and Captained Watkins. No haaland or De Bruyne in my team. However! Haaland will be brought in this week for reluctantly Pedro.
If I bring in Jota and Van Dijk (can't afford TAA) I can bench boost in GW 25 with areola, Gordon, Estupinan and saliba on the bench, all good fixtures. Depends on Gordon and Estupinan fitness of course, so I won't decide this week. But is that bench worth BB, even if it means no TC Haaland?
Cracking week 105 Watkins captain, moreno, richarlison, trippier, palmer, Flekken Went with Bernardo over Foden - would have really smashed it Cant complain
I last week I told you what do you think gabriel out alex moreno in you told me it’s not the good one So if you want de to something do it without asking
Foden single handedly brought me from a small green to a medium red 😅
Brought me from a medium red to a small green lmao big up Phil!
Gutted that I benched Foden I feel like a complete idiot
I learned my lesson. Ignore content creator tips. Benched Foden, took captain off Watkins.
Lesson learned the hard way
I feel u mate
Changed my red to a green :D
103, benched Alvarez for Gross, which was a nice extra 9 points. Probs my luckiest week ever, into top 14k.
very nice!
@@seefoghallthanks!
What's your team for GW24?@@declan8615
Forgot the deadline, and my team from last week with FODEN cap got me 107 pts!
Thats so unfair 🤣
Brilliant!! Well done 👍🏻
Captained Foden intentionally - 98pts!
Love the way you told the masses to bench Foden and played him yourself.
Well Played!
✨Dreamland✨captained Watkins, and have been holding Foden since GW1 😮💨 finally on the right side of variance
119 for me Ross! 2.7m up to 1.3m!! It's been a difficult season but I'm glad I've kept up the grind
Amazing!

Actually, you have 8 blankers in gw26 if you count your flagged substitutes. You also want to add another Liverpool asset, if injured players aren't back by then you'll be looking at 7/8 blankers so it's either a -12 to get at least 10 players or a Free Hit, your team is not looking good at all right now.
I thought the same. 7 blankers with injured assets. 8 if he brings in van dijk or Jota. Haha
💡On your transfers for the upcoming DGW/BGWs, I think what seems sensible to me is: This week you go Porro > Van Hecke (save £1.7m and also reduce BGW exposure), then that allows you to go Richarlison > KDB in gw25 (should just have the money), again reducing BGW exposure and also getting KDB for DGW25 💡 21:03

You brought in Toney as a pick but why not Maupey - the guy is on a 5 game scoring streak.
For you, just bring in Jota for Gordon.
😢i benched Foden for Solanke, last week Foden started for me and benched him this week
Yep me too, benched him for Kudus.. 😢
Benched Foden and captained Solanke 😢
I benched Foden for Gordon 🤬😀
same here, also I had Foden last week as the captain and this week on the bench :D :)))))))) :(((((((((((
Bench City players😂Why
Hi mate really happy you had a good gameweek for me wasn’t so good. Benched foden and owned konsa along with being a Liverpool fan😂. Thanks for all the content recently mate it been great!
Ups and downs in 2024. I did a WC under heavy sedation in GW20 and missed 21 in hospital
Got Eze in gw22
Had a puncture Saturday morning and thought I had captained Watkins but it was still on KDB.
Moreover my WC pick in20 came through with a 14 pointer.
This game is crazy this year 😅😅
87. Sneaked into top 100k
What about FH 25 and prepare for blank 26. Yes you can't use TC but the upside of tripling up on Liverpool and Man City when many won't be able to and fielding a full 11 on 26 makes loads of sense?

I broke 100 with my first good gameweek of the year really. Flekken and Moreno having great games as differentials was huge for me

got 108! captained watkins, got trippier, martinelli, foden, palmer, and richarlison. went from rank 100k to 22k
89 points. Green arrow. Had Gross on my bench. Missed a 100 points. I can’t complain. Good week.
always great to watch you smile man ... cheers
Do you think I change kdb for foden and solanke for haalamd or keep kdb and change Watkins and solanke to haaland and adeabyo
Good break down as usual Raptor. My only issue is, I now have more questions than answers and more undecided going into gw24&25😅
The Liverpool/Luton match has been moved to the day after the last match in GW25 (City/Brentford). Surely that keeps it in GW26. Wouldn’t be much time till the deadline but it’d make it a hell of a lot easier to plan for GW26!

Great video as always... would you do
Gordon - Jota
Solanke - Darwin
For a -4 this week ??
84 points. so nearly captained watkins as well but chose palmer in the end. still im top of my cash league and around sitting 77000 ish. binned bowen this week for neto.
Hi Ross, thank you for all the hard work! Would you do Bowen to Richarlison/Jota? If so which one?
Got 71. , benched saka , started Gabriel and Capt Gordon . Lucky week
Foden hardly does anything for me so it was easy for me to have sold him before gw 23. Surprise, surprise....he scored a hattrick in gw 23. Thx Philip!!!!!
For your team, I like Pau/Taylor -> Walker in GW24, roll in GW25 and use 2FTs to sell Darwin + Trent in GW26.
Foden/KDB/Alvarez choose 2 what would you do?
Would you consider Palmer -> Jota instead of Gordon. Would eliminate benching headache this week and Palmer has tough GW 25 and blanks in 26 where as Gordon has BOU in 25 and plays 26.
Didnt have Foden, and that's caused a bad red arrow. Absolutely gutted. Thought I was gonna break into the top 100k after 7 straight green arrows.
I can't with this game man.
102 points
Watkins as my C
Garnacho was my differential on field
Currently ranked 54k
This benching headache is the reason I decided to hold Salah, and i got him for 12.5m and knew i'd spend a lot more to get him back
I've got decent money in my defence and got 2 points between them all, 3 including keeper. 94 point week, might just get 5 enablers on the bench
80 points and up to 25k
My team looks great for next week (apart from Konsa)
Benched Foden, captained solanki turned a big green arrow into a big red one! I had a 20 & 18 point player in my squad and still went big red 😂
Have you thought about Pinnock or Reguilón ( who looked good last night with some great passes into box) a- poor double but plays 26 29
I will have 5 doubling in 25 and 4 blanking 26 but 3 on the Bench assuming no injuries etc selling porro and gusto to create spaces
100 all up, huge green arrow from 135k > 60k, Trippier C was nice enough
Taylor to Doughty gets you a doubler, a potential doubler in 28 and a player in 29. See him as the next best thing after VVD
87 points Richarlison , Foden Watkins (C) De bruyne haaland major Green Arrow
I had Richi, Porro and Palmer. Currently no Liverpool assets. Unclear if I should bring 1 in for 25 considering gw 26. Dont really want to get rid of porro as I have money tied up in him
Foden absolutely put the final nail in the coffin that Richarlison had earlier thrown me in 😭
😂😂😂
How was your week ? And rank ?

Who would you bench if you bought Jota? Bench headache
91 points with garnacho and branthwaite on my bench. Bitter sweet
Looking at Luis Diaz over Jota. Not sure I can justify the 0.7 difference for Jota given I’m only buying them for 24 and 25 and the difference really helps me getting Toney also
Would you sell salah this week to fund bringing in jota and another city asset eg. de bryne or alvarez?
107 for me (Captained Palmer -.- ), thinking of going Palmer to Jota. Jota has a better game week 24. Palmer then has City then a blank

My front 3 are Toney, Haaland and Watkins. My sell price for Watkins is 8.3, so would be .5 to buy him back. Worth losing the value for Darwin?
134 points for me this week ! No chips used as well
Weirdly feel disappointed with a green arrow. Richarlison, Watkins, Saka, Foden, Palmer, Pedro all owned except Palmer Cap and benched Foden. 77 points.
800k rank and feels like a big opportunity to gain rank missed. On to the next week
You think a free hit would be a good move for gw26 or wait it out for later?
112 points, currently 47 OVR! Watkins captained!
88 points massive green up to 250k ish ended up captaining Gordon so could have been even better
When you using triple captain, free hit and bench boost?
Your comments on gw25 benching headache has made me realise I have to choose between Isak Trippier Gross and Estupinian for 2 slots in the 11 😭
Well that’s painful!
I left Foden on the bench...played Darwin instead...been a tough morning
Ross, if I already used free hit. Do you think I should transfer in Toney for long term, or buy Darwin for short term?
92 points for me this week :) up to 30k-ish,. Highest i've ever been.
My move this week is more than likely going to be Palmer to Jota, that way i'm not adding another gw26 blanker to my squad and he doesn't have the best fixture run.

Hi Ross - Is not Morris a better option than adebayo bcz of pens?
100 on the dot. Forgot to change my team from last week. Richallison captain
My money is on Taylor and Torres still being unavailable for 26. Lol. That gives you SEVEN blankers
What do you think of FH 26 and then load up with players who plays in BGW 29 and then do the WC in 30?
100 points exactly😃...have Watkins, Richarlison & Foden (captianed Watkins)...in typical FPL manager style though...instead of being happy about it..i´m raging i didnt captian Foden😆
Never missing an ep, calling from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Over double gw 25 players will create hits for gw 26. Counter intuitive
8 doublers with 5 blanking will have 2 free transfers so will change 2 attackers after dgw to leave me with a 343 or 352
I broke 100 points moved. From 665k to 220k. I captained Watkins and owned all.
I benched Garnacho, and played a dead ass defence. Oh how i wished i benched Estupinan or the other defensive fodder was a horrible decision.
I had to look up what macro-thinking was. I wish I hadn't.
106. Foden Captain. 2 points from 3 defenders. 1 Goalkeeper. Happy days
I got 94 Point. 5mins before deadline I switched captaincy from Watkins to Palmer😅
83 pts. 9k to 6.7k. wish I captained one of the big 3 but I'll take it
Cracking week 105
Watkins captain, moreno, richarlison, trippier, palmer, Flekken
Went with Bernardo over Foden - would have really smashed it
Cant complain
Lovely stuff!
I last week I told you what do you think gabriel out alex moreno in you told me it’s not the good one
So if you want de to something do it without asking
71 points dropped to 20k from 12k😢 benched Foden and captained Solanke huge mistake. So it goes win some lose some.
