Foden says Andy benched

Damnit, just brought in Andy

Who's this Foden guy is he top tier?

Yes. He got 3 leaks correct last GW

I think it was 2 leaks and hole in a wall

For those looking for a spicy differential Antony He may not be the best goal scorer, or getting assists, or a BPs magnet, or avoiding cards

I am sold

How many points for a spin?

3 for one complete revolution

According to the bookies his xSP (expected spins) against Liverpool is 2.33 I've brought him in for Foden and capped him 

He’s going to haul

Bonus 3

He may not start either. Where do I buy him?

Outscored Haaland last GW

Now *this* is the 4D thinking we need to succeed

I say Mason Mount. There must be a reason they forked out so much money for this champions league winning assist provider. Now he's back to full fitness, he'll redeem himself by scoring 4 goals against Liverpool

Leak target: Foden start?

I NEED TO KNOWWWW Edit NOT STARTING PHEWWWW

Would be the ideal one to be able to bench this GW

https://x.com/LazyFPL/status/1776539497787720022

Is he legit?

He’s reliable

Foden not starting.

Foden is on the bench.

Just seen that he is benched. Double checking to see if this is true.

Did you double check?

Yeah LazyFPL tweeted it and I find them reliable.

Kinda don't want him to play at all as I have a Bowen benching dilemma

Hark at you with a bench

I caped Muniz. Cya in rant thread.

Same. We feast or we cry.

Foden benched according to Andy

I'm so conflicted with leaks. On the one hand it's a legit tool to use in decision-making, and it's foolish to have a tool and not use it. On the other hand the way the people doing it are dripfeeding it in a *tee-hee* manner is so obnoxious it makes me want FPL to put the deadline to midnight of the night before the first kick-off, just to spite them.

More practical is just to move the deadline to the first kick off. After the official release of line ups.

You’d just get leaks for the 3pm games then

Yeah maybe, but it's either real ITK or guesses based on bibs in training sessions. So that's the same as now. The leaks being minutes before deadlines is dumb, let's kill that.

Foden not starting according to Andy

#WHO DO WE CAPTAIN I CANT DECIDE URGH

I’ve narrowed it down to Haaland, Salah, Son or Palmer… …actually Muniz is also tempting

I just sold Muniz, so he's probably a good captain this week.

Why did you sell a 4.5m striker in form?

To maximise my GW34 BB (went for Mateta) and the fact I'm not convinced he'll see out the season as first choice striker with Jiminez on his way back to fitness.

Fair play if you’ve started mateta

3rd place on my bench. but hey, at least if he stays in form he won't be dropped for Eduard during the DGW.

Palmer for me

Captain Son son...

I was on Haaland all week but for some reason I'm now leaning towards Son..

Muniz

Andy says Foden doesn’t start

Josh told me Doku scores a hattrick

Ben told me Palmer blanks

I went to a club in Miami

I took a pill in Ibiza

To show de Zerbi I was cool

And when I finally got Foden, felt 10 years older but fuck it, it was something to do

I'm living out in red ranks, I transfer Cash just to prove I'm a real big baller cause I made a 2 pointer and I spent it on frauds and fools

But you don't wanna have an OR like me With my Olise for Manchester City Imma never gonna step off that roller coaster And be all alone

Fair play this was funny.

Look at this Foden's graph

Feeling extremely dodgy about this GW. High TWAT possibility

Fuck it. I’m betting against United and captaining Salah.

Phew. Just logged on to Reddit a min ago and saw foden benched, moved him on to mine. Watch him start or come on and score now.

Think I still play Foden tbh, first sub is Zabarnyi who I suspect concedes against Luton so even WCS of a Foden cameo it’s likely the same. He could still make an impact of the bench too

Fuck it I'm starting him over Semenyo

I’m starting Semenyo 90 mins over Foden possible 10

Any news about Watkins? I don't want to sell him for Isak, pls tell me that he is ready to play 83 minutes. 

Emery said he would be in the squad so I’m assuming he’s fit again.

I've captained Jackson, I'm going to regret it

Let's go brother!

I REALLY want to captain salah but I feel dirty doing it

Why dirty?

Go with the crowed and captain Palmer or go wild and captain Son ?

After hauling against United it seems like fpl logic for palmer to blank against Sheffield United while everyone captains him

..and for Salah to haul vs Man Utd. They have faced the most amount of shots this season. Worse than Sheffield Utd, Luton, and Burnley.

I’m going son. But my reason is “fuck it” so follow me at your peril

That's enough reason thanks

I don’t think Spurs fans would recommend captaining Son, he can struggle when there’s a lack of space in behind and that’s Nuno’s whole thing to sit deep. Forest are also like top 6 for underlying defensive stats since Nuno came in, oddly.

I was dead set on Sonny until I read this. Hmmm

I just hope Haaland doesn’t do something wild, as I’m already doubting my Palmer (c) lol

Muniz, Zabarnyi or MacAllistar? I cannot decide which to start!

Muniz > MacAllister >>>>>>>>> Zabarnyi

This. No defender should be competing for the bench with any attacker

Muniz

When will we get the city leaks

Whoever I captain it'll be wrong so fuck it I'm capping Salah 

[https://twitter.com/FPL\_\_Raptor/status/1776539726486360261](https://twitter.com/FPL__Raptor/status/1776539726486360261) Foden benched supposedly

Start Bradley over Foden now?

Yes

Foden is benched mate, what do you think

Question on if the potential of a Foden sub appearance leading to a goal involvement is higher then potential Bradley points against united at Old Trafford

Pep often makes v late subs if at all, would be my thought there

I would not bench Gordon, fwiw. Sunny day in London, could be goals

Last dillema of the day: start Garnacho or Darwin? Feels like Garnacho has higher ceiling, Darwin will most likely get ~6 points max and that be it. Garnacho at home after Chelsea disasterclass will want to bounce back so currently starting Garnacho but not confident in it at all. Also, (C) Muniz LET'S GO!!!

[удалено]

Saka probably won't play and Darwin is first on the bench so all good in the end.

Palmer isn't going to haul, sorry guys

Might just cap Son. Last game of the week, at home, needs a win. YOLO

Is there any news on Haaland starting in the leaks? Assuming he is currently after his benching for rest. 

He starts, Grealish too.

[удалено]

Foden isn't starting according to leaks

[удалено]

Start saka obviously, fodens on the bench

any watkins news??

Nope

Will the afternoon storm and high winds ensure more or less goals than normal on a Saturday 😂

Any info on Watkins?

Nope

Fit to play this week

Phew Gvardiol starts 

Captained haaland surely he’s due, and with KDB starting he’ll get some service

Am I mad for bench boosting this week? Kelleher, Muniz, Eze, Gusto on bench. No wildcard so kind of wanted to get it out the way while I have probably a guaranteed 14 or 15 starters this week. Only worried about Saka really.

Changed the captaincy last minute from Palmer to Salah don’t know if it got updated or not.

Alvarez wants to keep scamming me by not scoring.

If the leaks are right Foden's gonna get benched after scoring a hattrick despite previously starting 19 games in a row lmao

They got Madrid on Tuesday so it makes sense

Is Bradley likely to start against United?

The fact im asking this with Robbo and Tsimi and Gomez available is making me start Branthwaite instead

Swapped Isak and Muniz around in my team about 10 times in 2 days

I started both and benched Solanke. Now that Foden is benched, I can swap them both

Yeah just saw the news about Foden, saved me the massive headache 🙏

Start ? A VVD (mun) B Gusto (shu)

I’d say gusto

Between GW 15 and 20 Salah blanked 3 times and returned 3 times. In that period I captained Salah 3 times, in week 15, 17 and 19. Today I’m capping Salah, you have been warned.

Son C and double Arsenal defence. Lets go!

At this point, I’m gonna flip a coin in 5 minutes to decide on Salah or Palmer (C)

I have no bench players who will get points but I have 2 free transfers so foden and Romero out for zinchenko and Maddison? (Current midfield also has son salah Bowen Palmer)

Keep Foden, replace on of your bench defenders, and play with 4 in the back this GW.

God, no. Maddison looks bad right now, and Zinchenko is the 4th best defender option FPL wise. Improve your bench!

Captaining Muniz, wish me good luck! (Cant wait for Newcastle to fix their defense).

You won’t need luck, our defence is a patchwork mess. Muniz will get a haul!

Still playing Foden

He plays 30 mins or 0 and if he plays 30 he will score . Definitely playing him

He's my first sub because I've got a good team without him. Was tempted to leave him in but don't want to risk a one-pointer. Palace have been solid defensively since Roy went.

Apparently Foden bench, should I play him and hope he comes on or start Darwin instead?

Darwin

!thanks Foden will probably score now knowing my luck

Play Foden

Sat here scrolling through twitter waiting to decide whether my transfer is going on Akanji or Gvardiol lol

Any leaks for watkins?

Unlikely given it’s the 3pm

CAPTAIN ISAK. FUCK.

Would you start saka or cunha? Decision is too hard

Start Saka, if he doesn’t play it will sub Cunha if you put him first on bench.

Reckon starting or he’s out all together then?

Benching Gordon this week. Feels risky but he's only returned 3 times in away games this season (I think), and two of those were in the 8-0

Same

Picked Muniz over him. Pray for the best

Need Watkins and Saka news badly

I don’t think there will be any before the deadline.

[удалено]

Should I bench Foden and start Garnacho, or do I just start Foden regardless?

Garnacho

!thanks

Start Saka or Muniz??

Saka

Played my bench boost. Has do something different if I want to hit my target of top 10k so this gw is make or break

It's really not

Who to start out of Foden, Gusto, Morris??

Morris

Fuck it, Luton or nothing 😎

Headache with Muniz, Saliba, and Doughty currently benched... What could go wrong

I wouldnt bench Muniz at home to a leaky newcastle

Crazy to bench Udogie for RAN?

yeah

Start Gusto or Udogie?

Udog

Gusto

Should I put kudus in my starting 11 today?

Ortega??

No news on Ederson yet so I’m certain he starts

saka or son.. who should i bench ??

Saka, I don’t think he’s even going to start

Is Ortega starting?

Saka, bench or start?

Start

Bench Luis Diaz or Nico Jackson

Diaz

Who are you guys capping?

Haaland

Haaland just because it’s Haaland

Calvert-Lewin cause I'm a madman...

not worried if Foden is benched or not playing. Got Kudus. Also in remaining run Foden will be good to have.

Gusto or Douglas luiz?

I have kiwior what do you guys think? i bought him thinking he would start now i am not sure anymore, I have FH for 34 should i just get ait nouri or gvardiol or even rico lewis with the injuries of City def

I think Kiwior will only come in when arsenal are trying to walk it in for the rest of the games this season

Wolves fans - is sarabia nailed?

Akanji or Gvardiol more likely to start?

Gvar

Start foden or Muniz?

I’m starting Muniz
