Namaste FPL-ers and Happy Holi to all my fellow Indians anywhere around the globe!!

So how was the Baby GW for you guys? I was pretty satisfied with the score but could have had a better score if it wasn’t for yet another captain fail…. But, it was a decent gameweek overall. Scored 53 points with a -8. But hey, it was enough for a GREEN ARROW . Finally!! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you my friend…. Went from 714k to 565k !!

These are the ones I fielded in GW28

Jakupovic just missed out on a CS but can’t be mad about that because…..

Mawson got a goal and 1 BP in the defence which was pretty good this week with Coleman getting a CS. Brunt was a fail but not the only West Brom player to disappoint this week!!

Midfield was kinda a hit for this week. Mirallas getting a goal was the most exciting thing for me this GW! He’s given my nothing but 1s and 2s since I got him and started him in my team. Siggy, with the 7th consecutive point returns, assisted a late consolation goal against Hull. And there’s the second most disappointing player of the week. Sadio Mané! Well I obviously made a mistake captaining him but it was a well thoughtout decision…. He’s been great at home, FPL wise, against all teams this season, except United, Stoke, City and Chelsea. Double figures in 5 of 12 home games he’s played and non-blank figures in the remaining 7. Then there was one, the one who enraged me and many others, who was supposed to be fit and on whom people were dependent to field more than 6 players, Matty “The Assbag” Phillips!!!!! He’s lost me so much money and cost me so many points over the past 8 GWs. This is not the reason I’m so mad. It’s that the replacement of his, that I had lined up for 3 weeks, got 18 FUCKING POINTS!!!!

In the front line, it was the player I’m most skeptical of who kinda saved my gameweek, Romelu Troll-kaku, getting a goal, an assist and all 3 BPs. Carroll was, not disappointing, but frustrating, as he’s always been…. and Llorente’s performance was dead as his leg.

Well to sum it up, it was nothing special from anyone else other than the Everton guys and two of the Swans.

Now, for GW29

Now for those of you don’t know what Holi is, it’s a festival where we Indians set up a Holy “Campfire” (just to paint you non-Indians a picture) and basically wish all the negative thing to be burned in there. That’s what I did. I sold Matt-erfucker for Joshua King immediately after the Full Time whistle of the Bournemouth West Ham game blew. Call it a kneejerk or whatever, I just had to do that move to avoid some anger management courses….

I might take a hit to get Costa in for Carroll or Mirallas out for Pedro.

The team will look like this

Benching Llorente isn’t gonna be the ideal decision but as long as he’s injured, he’s on the bench. If he’s fit to play by the weekend, he’ll come in for either Mirallas or Carroll (whichever one of them stays). Might bring in Mawson for Walker but I’m 50/50 on that. With Gabbiadini in form, might be wise to keep Johnnie on the bench. Lukaku will be the captain while King takes the VC.

Now here is a new segment, Question and Answers. Some of you had a few queries that you wanted you opinion on. So here goes!!

Is Gabbiandini worth the hype, or is it almost a forced transfer because of the hype and the Kane injury?

Honestly, I’ve seen him play in only one game, the EFL Cup Final. He looked really good and he had a proper striker’s approach to the game, got in the 6 yard box frequently, was in front of the goal when on attack and looked reaaaalllly threatening overall. I’d say he’ll be a good buy for the value.

The Aguero situation, stick or twist?

I twisted it as hard as I could. I’d suggest the same. Better value players out there and in addidtion, some of them have 2 DGWs.

Also who are some good players under the radar? I’ve noticed Cameroon (stoke) is back, OOP, nailed on and at 4.2 . Any other under the radar dyudes?

I’ve been monitoring Robbie Brady, Josh King (I ended up getting him a week late) and Stephens (Southampton defender at 4m. Started the last 6 games I think and played all 90). Alfie Mawson is a good option with only 2.2% ownership and a good amount of aerial threat. He’s gotten Bournemouth next which is a plus because they’re really weak in the air. Mirallas is another one but there’s a lot of rotation risk there. Not any forwards to mention though other than Deeney with 5 goals in 6 matches. Vardy might just turn out to be a good option for the time till your second WC if Leicester do start playing well but I’d steer clear anyways.

I tried to make my questions as general as possible. Cheers!

Cheers buddy!!

Mamadoo22 asks, Now Number 2:

Son’s fate with Kane out

If Kane is out for the season, or basically long term(which it looks like), I won’t be angry but disappointed if he doesn’t start upfront. I’m planning to get him in for Mirallas on my WC.

Well, this is it for this week’s edition of ‘The FPL-Ville’. I’m hoping for a United victory tonight which doesn’t seem likely without Ibra but still possible. So there’s that. And umm….. well nothing else. There’s UCL fixtures coming up again this week and United’s match at home against Rostov in the UEL. Considering Rostov’s away form, I’m expecting an easy victory.

Leave a comment if you want to see something else on here and I’ll try to fit it in.

Thanks for reading this guys, all the best for GW29 and I’ll see you again next week!

(Come on guys. Help me out here. I’m still in need of an Outtro line. Help me out here please.)
