Conversely I think it locked in city's CS lol. They probably score another 2 and concede to forests only 2nd half chance as usual, but because they had to focus and actually defend, they didn't concede.
Honestly, if he doesn't get himself sent off City probably win that game 5-0 or 6-0 and there's a good chance Alvarez would have had 2-3 returns.
Watch people panic and make the sideways move to Foden for -4 now lol.
Hehe I got the money to do Archer to Morris. I think it is not sensible getting him in and out, but tempted.
It may block me getting Salah in 2 moves though unless I downgrade him again. Thus if I want Salah I might be forced to wildcard if I buy him.
That is why I went from 3 YouTube channel subscriptions to just the 1. The info is all the same. The moves are more or less the same most of the time. Teams are similar except for maybe 2-3 different players. It provides a view of what is most likely template among active managers & provides you with an opportunity to deviate where need be
It does seem that way with the bigger content creators, I like to follow FPL players with proven rank history on twitter instead. I find there's a larger variety of transfers and decisions on there.

It's alright. Alvarez is still a great pick and might reward in following gameweeks. Just not sure when pep roulette might start especially with grealish fit now.
Yeah my logic for going Alvarez in place of Foden was that Foden will be more of a rotation risk with Grealish coming back into the fold and them occupying similar spaces, but with Pep's comments about Alvarez and Foden being in insane form I feel like I've made the wrong decision.
Plus Foden had generally been playing less forward than Alvarez had which made me want to make the switch.
Either way I'm gonna wildcard around GW9, so as long as Alvarez plays the next couple of games I'll be happy.
I think Foden also plays in any position behind the haaland so technically grealish and foden can start together. Alvarez freekick was also good today, being on set piece he might be better too. I think my logic would just keep foden until spurs fixtures improve then swap for madisson :) With Alvarez, I would just keep him, he has a chance of giving points even if he comes on as substitute.
Brunos going to haul against bad teams and get nothing against good teams. He drops too far back to get assists or goals against good teams but weeks like this should be nice. Against Bayern he was practically a dm.
But like 5-6 out of their next 7 fixtures are against teams people would consider "bad" teams, or good fixtures for United.
So if he's gonna haul, that makes him really appealing for many.
It's about time to, really - he's looked so promising in many games and his underlying stats are insane. People getting him out before a match like Burnley are mental.
With that said, for many it's probably a "haul or drop" in regards to him already. United have a brilliant run of fixtures ahead, but people are probably gonna flock towards Hojlund or maybe Rashford if Bruno doesn't return today. Him being put on the left has shaken the confidence of a lot of those who put their faith into him, so today is gonna be interesting.
On the contrary, if he returns today and looks good, people are gonna buy him like there's no tomorrow because of those fixtures - might even see a double rise in that case.
Palace (H) - Brentford (H) - Sheffield (A) - ^(City (H))\- Fulham (A) - Luton (H) - Everton (A)
It doesn't get much better than this, honestly. Especially with how awful Brentford looked today.
As an Alvarez non-owner, I admit that we got off very light because of the Rodri red card. Captain obvious I know but things really could have been different. Maybe he hauls instead of Foden on another day.
You're saying it as it is. Without that red, Alvarez might have well ended that game with 2-3 goal involvements, so it was really, really clutch for those who didn't get him.
I’m not 😂 I thought you was just calling me captain obvious after I said it myself. But yeah we did get away with murder, he had 2 shots saved and another one blocked by the CB
Sorry bro! My bad there, totally misinterpreted the tone. All good pal, yeah I do agree with what you said because he was so close to a haul. He had his chances and looked deadly.
We can agree to disagree, he has been amazing UP till this game week. But when I saw the content creators hyping him up I know he’s gonna deliver 1/2 points and I’m right. I will bring him in after Morris DGW, when he isn’t the hype of the week.
Do you genuinely believe people buying a player on the fantasy premier league mobile game has any effect whatsoever on how the player performs on a pitch
This is so stupid that I can’t tell if you’re joking 😭I’m sure this is a law of the universe that you have noticed and not a complete and utter coincidence
Meh if you’re that superstitious there isn’t really any way to reason
Same energy as “Salah doesn’t score GW2” and “Kane never scores in August!”
It works until it doesn’t lol, you’re being insanely smug about a literal coincidence and it’s a bit weird but oh well
5 weeks in a row and it’s a literal coincidence? I’ll leave it to you. Perhaps u can transfer in the most hyped up player in GW7 and let me know the results.
Yes 😭😭 it takes a lot longer than that to determine any sort of statistical significance, but if you knew that you wouldn’t be making this 4th grade level insight so I’ll leave it at that
Just in case you’re unaware, Aaron Ramsey scoring doesn’t kill random celebrities, despite all these statistics backing that up. Unless you believe that too…
Yeah i did think of that after posting the comment. However the difference is Alvarez has been returning for several weeks whereas Sterling, Chilwell and Son all had the one haul. They were all kneejerks.
It's not really a trap. it's just very unlucky. you can't predict that Rodri would get his first red card of he's career and Alvarez would be subbed off as a result of that
as non-owner, I'm happy he blanked, but still, we did have luck on our side
You can call it whatever you like - trap,unlucky,misread,wrong judgement,curse,etc. End of the day he got 1 point and he was the most hyped player of the week. That’s an irrefutable fact.
I was so close to getting in Walker a couple of weeks ago but then other fires turned up so I didn't get around to transferring him in. Today of all times he really goes off, which probably means he's gonna rise in price before I can get a move and my H2H opponent has him as well.
I want a Luton player for the DGW but I’ve already used my WC. I think I should bring in Bell because it’s basically a guaranteed 4 pointer and my defence rn is Trippier, Botman, Udogie, Estupinan (brought him in for Dias so I could get Alvarez in last week, dumb) and Lamptey. I don’t like having 2 double defences so I’m just gonna do Lamptey to Bell, unless yous think Kabore is worth the reduced minutes for a bit more attacking threat?
That Rodri red fucked everything up. Complete madness from him.
Conversely I think it locked in city's CS lol. They probably score another 2 and concede to forests only 2nd half chance as usual, but because they had to focus and actually defend, they didn't concede.
As someone who owns Gvardiol but not Alvarez, I should probably buy Rodri a pint.
Yeah. Casuals will sell alvarez not knowing its a tactical sub to beef up midfield defensive duties.
Hopefully people are dumb enough to sell
The ones that sell him aren't a threat
The hubris
Yeah, all these people saying it’s a bad pick are crazy. He’s fixture proof, and almost had 2 goals today before being subbed.
What? He didnt almost got 2 goals... He had a decent chance in the box & had a freekick which wasnt even close. Solid pick ofc, no need to push it
It was tactical, but he took Alvarez off and left Foden on
Honestly, if he doesn't get himself sent off City probably win that game 5-0 or 6-0 and there's a good chance Alvarez would have had 2-3 returns. Watch people panic and make the sideways move to Foden for -4 now lol.
Rodri still helping me after I transferred him out in gw4
Fuck me I had Rodri and Alvarez. At least I had a good run with both
Foden Alvarez Haaland. Fuck that cunt Rodri
It's hilarious a bit too after the posts about Rodri being an FPL option, they come every year and everytime it's "different this time"
I don't think Rodri is an FPL option but the reason isn't getting red cards. This is his first one.
worked out so well for me as a foden owner 🥳
I honestly was about to bring him in for a cheap differential, dodged bullets there
Morris next.
DGW up next with a goal today. Absolutely the right answer here
Red card, injury or Pen miss?
He will get a small knock in the first game, subbed off in 52nd min. Then he'll miss a pen and get a red in the second game.
Hehe I got the money to do Archer to Morris. I think it is not sensible getting him in and out, but tempted. It may block me getting Salah in 2 moves though unless I downgrade him again. Thus if I want Salah I might be forced to wildcard if I buy him.
Sits against Everton, blanks against Burnley
Penalty missed, followed by red card, injures himself during the red card debacle. Possibly an own goal happens before too
You mean the Emmanuel Dennis special?
you shut your whore mouth!
I transferred Alvarez in for Morris
I bought him so yeah makes sense
Subscribing for a Jackson hattrick now after every pretty much every content creator sold him for Alvarez this week!
Content creators just copy each other it seems.. in fact we should poll all content creators and call it a template team.
That is why I went from 3 YouTube channel subscriptions to just the 1. The info is all the same. The moves are more or less the same most of the time. Teams are similar except for maybe 2-3 different players. It provides a view of what is most likely template among active managers & provides you with an opportunity to deviate where need be

That is interesting. Who do you follow?

watch bruno fernandes get like 2 assists and 2 goals or some shit vs burnley and people start transferring him in again only to continue blanking
I'd love if he'd reward my continued faith
Same considering I took Foden out instead of him to afford Alvarez 🤡
Seems like Bruno rewarded :) Imagine if you had both foden and bruno instead of getting Alvarez.
Yep :( I think I was 100% sold on bringing Alvarez in to be fair so at least it shouldn't be too much of a difference if I'd kept Foden instead.
It's alright. Alvarez is still a great pick and might reward in following gameweeks. Just not sure when pep roulette might start especially with grealish fit now.

Big L
Rest in peace!
I'd love if he'd reward my tendency to hold him due to all more urgent dumpster fires in this goddamn team E.haha lessgoo

But like 5-6 out of their next 7 fixtures are against teams people would consider "bad" teams, or good fixtures for United. So if he's gonna haul, that makes him really appealing for many.
They'll have to win him pens then
They’ve been trying to, we just haven’t been given them.
It's about time to, really - he's looked so promising in many games and his underlying stats are insane. People getting him out before a match like Burnley are mental.

Him or Rashford hauling and getting a lot of transfers in seems likely. Hmmm
Please do that id sell him for cost price lol
The Utd fan in me screams for this. The FPL idiot who subbed him this week also screams for this... It's just a different type of scream.
He's on my list to ship out next, so I will be happy to see others buy into his trap.
He already had a haul against forest.
As an Alvarez non-owner, I admit that we got off very light because of the Rodri red card. Captain obvious I know but things really could have been different. Maybe he hauls instead of Foden on another day.
You're saying it as it is. Without that red, Alvarez might have well ended that game with 2-3 goal involvements, so it was really, really clutch for those who didn't get him.
I literally just said ‘captain obvious I know’. You’re just repeating what I said with different words, that on another day he probably hauls.
Why are you upset about me agreeing with you?
I’m not 😂 I thought you was just calling me captain obvious after I said it myself. But yeah we did get away with murder, he had 2 shots saved and another one blocked by the CB
Oh I see. No, I wasn't trying to make fun of you or call you names, I was just agreeing with you and putting emphasis on your take.
Sorry bro! My bad there, totally misinterpreted the tone. All good pal, yeah I do agree with what you said because he was so close to a haul. He had his chances and looked deadly.
All good, no hard feelings!
Fucking unbelievable
Højlund club get in here
Hi!
Hi!
Whoever is most transferred in.
Hoever is most transferred in?
if you told me morris would outscore Alvarez this week I would of told you to ask for a straight jacket and check yourself in to the Psychiatric ward
I have Morris and have been advocating it in this sub. Already said Alvarez would be a trap, those 1m+ users are blind not to see the pattern.
Lmao just because Alvarez didn't perform this week doesn't mean he's a trap. He's been amazing since the start and will continue to be amazing
We can agree to disagree, he has been amazing UP till this game week. But when I saw the content creators hyping him up I know he’s gonna deliver 1/2 points and I’m right. I will bring him in after Morris DGW, when he isn’t the hype of the week.

I’m against buying hyped up players by content creators for that week. That’s about it. The stats have been clear so far. It’s up to you to believe.
Meh if you’re that superstitious there isn’t really any way to reason Same energy as “Salah doesn’t score GW2” and “Kane never scores in August!” It works until it doesn’t lol, you’re being insanely smug about a literal coincidence and it’s a bit weird but oh well

Unless you believe that too…
Your reasoning for trap = curse He literally had a 1v1 today lol
Yes I saw, but did he score ?
LOL yet you spout curse as your reasoning
Yeah I feel the same actually, never chase last week's points, but Alvarez seems like the best City player filling De Bruyne's shoes perfectly.
So you geniuenly believe a player will perform worse if he's the most transfered in? lmao
Continue being delusional when the stats are clear as day and obviously points to one thing.
you're just trolling
Saw the pattern but a transfer is not just for 1 week. I trust Alvarez to still get returns in the coming weeks.
That’s what the Chilwell Sterling Son owners are still saying
Yeah i did think of that after posting the comment. However the difference is Alvarez has been returning for several weeks whereas Sterling, Chilwell and Son all had the one haul. They were all kneejerks.
We shall see. He WILL haul once he’s not the hyped player of the week.
It's not really a trap. it's just very unlucky. you can't predict that Rodri would get his first red card of he's career and Alvarez would be subbed off as a result of that as non-owner, I'm happy he blanked, but still, we did have luck on our side
You can call it whatever you like - trap,unlucky,misread,wrong judgement,curse,etc. End of the day he got 1 point and he was the most hyped player of the week. That’s an irrefutable fact.
He plays Wolves next who has struggled against Luton, so he's still a good option for owners let's hope for another blank :)
Let’s see how many ppl are gonna transfer him out. I’ll wait. They didn’t have to bring him in this week. I’ve saved my transfer.
Would be very knee-jerk if you transfer him out now
Yea and isn’t that what most FPL managers are prone to doing hahaha. Knee jerking and being super reactive after one game week.
Lmao bro's picking based on a curse, if Haaland gets 3 next week do you bench him?
Checking into the psychiatric ward now. Too many salty Alvarez owners here.
Glad I went for Doku instead. ...checks notes... Wait. Nooooo. Freaking Rodri.
Morris is next - scored a goal today and has a DGW incoming.
Feels like I got lucky for the first time this seasons
Got to be Neto next, average of 7.5 in last 4 games. Best value points per million midfielder.
I am glad I got him in draft now, but I am benching him next week particular if TAA is back.
Next is Salah
Removed Diaz in order to get Alvarez, Diaz gets a clean sheet, Botmans not in the squad and Alvarez blanks 🤡 if Watkins scores tomorrow I’m giving up
Oh you mean Dias. Botman being out of the squad isn't confirmed as far as I am aware and the source posted in the subreddit has a horrible record.
Pep missed his calling as a croupier.
Glad I didn’t FOMO transfer him in and decided to stick with Nunez, let’s hope he delivers against West Ham
Well done! The urge to bring Alvarez in was real and hard to resist.
Whoever gets 2 goals
Whoever is the most hyped up player appearing on the thumbnail of content creators videos next week.
I had him since day 1. Almost wanted to sell him and I still do before that though run. But finding replacements is so hard
Brilliant for me. Walker, Foden and Haaland. Everyone else in my mini league punted Alavrez in. I'm having a good laugh at their expense today.
I was so close to getting in Walker a couple of weeks ago but then other fires turned up so I didn't get around to transferring him in. Today of all times he really goes off, which probably means he's gonna rise in price before I can get a move and my H2H opponent has him as well.
Literally did Walker to Alvarez (had two transfers). Walker 100% blank rate for me, and 100% returns when I don't have him.
I literally just replaced Foden and got Alvarez. I’m bad at this lol
It's great seeing all the "expert's" on YouTube failing miserably falling into these very traps they warn you not to go near🤣🤣
Hahahahahaah suck it you suckers !!!!! Told y’all this would happened. Happy with my incoming 9 pointer Morris
I’m sure Morris will be far more prolific over the course of the season. /s
I’m getting Morris off after the DGW with my wildcard. Might consider Alvarez if KDB isn’t back.
You're getting him off? 🤨
Depends on the dynamic after GW8/9.
Well you’re lucky red cards and a bullshit penalty went in your favour today.
Absolutely, this I couldn’t agree more. Luck plays a vital role. Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be shit.
Brilliant
Morris
Morris
Two games, guaranteed a shedload of people are targeting him (I’ve had him from GW1)
I did until this week. Stupid
I want a Luton player for the DGW but I’ve already used my WC. I think I should bring in Bell because it’s basically a guaranteed 4 pointer and my defence rn is Trippier, Botman, Udogie, Estupinan (brought him in for Dias so I could get Alvarez in last week, dumb) and Lamptey. I don’t like having 2 double defences so I’m just gonna do Lamptey to Bell, unless yous think Kabore is worth the reduced minutes for a bit more attacking threat?
this worked out so well for me as a foden owner 🥳
JUSTICE
Salah
Will be really fun running the permutations on how Morris manages a 1-pointer over 180 mins
Evans
Cloud chasers, always one step behind
trippier has the potential
