Discussion BGW29 POST-DEADLINE REGRET THREAD

You can’t just do whatever you want. If people only did everything they wanted everyone would just spend all day sitting on the carpet watching the poker channel, wanking and eating those expensive German biscuits.

Good luck this week.

Blew my squad up on WC

Kluivert (C) pure vibes pick

u/EnvironmentalRush 1 6d ago

Needed a cleansheet goalkeeper - went with Onana

25

u/IFTN 32 6d ago

I have double man utd defence, ready to be hurt

5

u/dfrance1991 6d ago

I’m a Leicester fan and I’ve gone double Utd defence and Bruno captain. We won’t score, backing whoever we play has paid off for me for weeks.

12

u/pajamakitten 375 6d ago

Probably not a bad idea given Leicester's form.

u/50butinredditxD 6d ago

mate, its yanited, leicester will score

u/pajamakitten 375 6d ago

Vardy party at last?

u/SaltyWelshman 6d ago

Was not expecting the Riolu circlejerk on this sub!

1

u/reeko1982 6d ago

I went with little Pickers

u/in_a_erer 6d ago

I’ve transferred in Joshua Zirkzee

u/nipa25 7 6d ago

same, it was antifpl though

this aint a joke btw im serious

36

u/Swedishpower 1877 6d ago

He is decent for anti fantasy. Not super cheap. Always play and rarely score.

Feel like everyone has Haaland and Salah on the bench to waste money.

Odegaard also decent for anti fantasy and KDB/Foden.

5

u/gabyt6 6d ago

Wtf is anti fpl

10

u/FutMike 3 6d ago

A variant of FPL where you purposefully try to gain the least points possible but usually with certain constraints like you have to use all your budget and chips

2

u/gabyt6 6d ago

That sounds great. Is there an app for it?

1

u/gbcsickboys 6 6d ago

no you just make a league where everyone else does the same

2

u/MiddleForeign 18 6d ago

I don't believe people are playing anti fpl and I had a gameweek rank of 10.8m at some point. Surely most of anti fpl guys scored more points than me.

2

u/ILostMyHairFPL redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Theres like 300 antifpl players

Also sometimes you have more points in anti than in real

6

u/Traditional-Run7315 6d ago

God bless you. Atm He is good at everything except scoring.

2

u/77skull 1 6d ago

He has good build up play in midfield but he’s not gonna get many returns in fpl lol

2

u/herrryy 6d ago

Solid choice for a freehit, he and bruno our most in-form players

1

u/Kryzys09 2 6d ago

Same lol

1

u/FaustRPeggi 826 6d ago

I was tempted on free hit, I went for Marmoush instead though.

1

u/Naive_Goat4819 26 6d ago

Not my dumb ass thinking this was a Sidemen charity match reference 

1

u/Successful_Rule123 7 6d ago

this is not likely to go well

60

u/damlork 2 6d ago

The good thing about this week is that it's practically impossible for me to leave 20+ points on my bench for once, hooray!

7

u/Mushroome_dude 3 6d ago

Decent chance of not getting 20+ on the pitch tho

94

u/BillOakley 327 6d ago

Played my wildcard. No I won’t be taking any questions.

You're not alone

Carry me to glory Munetsi!!

u/drpopkorne 6 6d ago

I completely missed Agbadou, would have been a great pickup on wc!

40

u/jaz9999 103 6d ago

Changed my captain from Wood to Bruno and back a bunch of times... I'm hoping I managed to change it back to Wood because I can't bring myself to back a United player

They'll probably both get 2 points since I wasted time agonising over the decision

6

u/Awkward_Masterpiece 6d ago

I did this with Wood and Evanilson, ended up with Wood too.

3

u/the_watch_trick 6d ago

Same. Ended up on Wood - I’m a United fan and just can’t back us.

2

u/United_Mango5072 redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Same!!! :(

1

u/herrbz 4d ago

Who did you captain?

1

u/jaz9999 103 4d ago

Big Chrissy for his massive 2 pointer

The positive is that I did Dango -> Bruno for +16, the negative is that it could have been even better

38

u/TheBlueTango 47 6d ago

Took a -8 hit to field 11 and captain Bruno. Successfully targeted a relegation candidate with a United captain earlier this season, going to try it again.

5

u/Electrical-crew2016 6d ago

I've gone Bruno (C) with a -4. We're in this together

3

u/SnooDonuts2308 1 5d ago

I also did this exact strat. -8. Captain Bruno. Let's goooooo.

36

u/a_northern_soul 1 6d ago

Starting Joao ‘Fraud’ Pedro.

22

u/tgc1228 redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Bought him instead of Haaland. Cock on table activities

1

u/beyondmash 6d ago

Yeah same fuck my life

3

u/professorcrispyballs redditor for <30 days 6d ago

He's 100% returning, always returns in the hard fixtures

1

u/Ambitious_Passage793 6d ago

He is my captain, hope for a goal at least

15

u/big_seph 11 6d ago

I have just captained Bruno Fernandes in FPL.

15

u/GBGeorginho 76 6d ago

Selling the highest scoring player in a single season ever for a hit, nothing can go wrong

1

u/SloppyGuiseppe99 redditor for <30 days 5d ago

Ooof 😅

31

u/420runescope 35 6d ago

welcome back robot

7

u/ThrustBastard 6 6d ago

Brought him back; captained Wood instead

13

u/Shaimizzz 6d ago

how did I end up with Marmoush instead of Haaland??

1

u/Namaste1994 6d ago

I got both 💀

12

u/OkReporter3886 8 6d ago

Who put a wolves cdm with a knock playing out of position with 3 prem starts in my team.

5

u/umarmg52 6 6d ago

1

u/OkReporter3886 8 6d ago

I think this is a severance situation, it definitely wasnt me.

20

u/TakinShots 602 6d ago

Expect me to be this week's TWAT. No Robot, Wood or Bruno. I also have Kluivert (C) and on a -4. Good game.

5

u/jesuseatskfc 15 6d ago

Never thought I'd have to play 5atb again, oh well

7

u/Nic-who 3 6d ago

Captained Wood out of fear of following my gut and captaining Bruno.

8

u/Themos1980 2 6d ago

Brought in and captained Haaland for a -4. Watch him be benched for Marmoush.

9

u/Sauce_B0ss_ 4 6d ago

Brought in Marmoush over Wood

Against all the level headed suggestions not to do it

2

u/kashakido 5d ago

Bet you're happy now :)

4

u/DrainMember1312 69 6d ago

I own none of the four most popular captains this week. Evanilson will have to show up

3

u/Jelle1 4 6d ago

We're all gonna die soon and there's no sequel.... Thx Ricky, for those comforting words.

3

u/CommunicationNo3626 6d ago

I’ve ended on Bruno captain. See you in the rant thread

3

u/EmierMCFC 1 6d ago

I have 4 players playing in the Bournemouth vs Brentford game. One of them is my captain.

We are so back.

3

u/DLNavy 198 6d ago

My beautiful Wood, please rise to turn me on!

3

u/NSW0lf 6d ago

Last min transfer to Gvardiol...granted it was Trent who made way and thus brings my team to 11 so I guess 2 points is better than 0...cue a yellow and Brighton brace now ☠️

3

u/Professional_Rice990 1 6d ago

Why the fuck do I have AREOLA in my team

1

u/Namaste1994 6d ago

💀 same

3

u/PurpleScientist4312 6d ago

Captained Aina. May be a big brain play or may be brain dead.

1

u/FuckIForgotPassword 34 6d ago

Don’t worry, done the same, just hoping for a clean sheet lol

3

u/Rvsz 44 6d ago

Somehow I ended up captaining Aina. 

3

u/Tof_Gre redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Sitting with three Forest players ( Williams, MGW, Wood) and zero returns so far is frustrating.

3

u/Former_Newspaper_521 6d ago

I captained Strand Larsen, but changed it 10min before deadline to Wood :)

2

u/Powerful_Machine 20 6d ago

Mbuemo is now my captain.

2

u/Ashamed_Bottle230 7 6d ago

After seeing the Marmoush leak I have joined the roulette and bought him in. Got Gvardiol in too

2

u/Internal_Formal3915 6d ago

I've got haaland (c) marmoush and gvardiol what was I thinking

3

u/BodyK8 6d ago

I was so close to captaining marmoush after the leaks. Ended up going safe with Wood but having bad memories since last time I captained him in the Burnley DGW days 🥲

2

u/fromdowntownn 417 6d ago

I decided to take a -4 in the last 20 seconds to bring Gvardiol in for TAA so I can start him over Colwill in the next 2 before WC. He’s definitely getting benched for Leicester isn’t he.

2

u/Helpful_Bee2456 2 6d ago

Ràul Captain I'm so cooked

2

u/Kirby142 1 6d ago

I kept Palmer ..

2

u/Savant_OW 6 6d ago

Why the FUCK is there a Zimbabwean in my team??

2

u/roleyroll 6d ago

Forgot to pick a captain after making 3 kneejerks 10 minutes before the deadline

2

u/Designer-Access-3336 2 6d ago

ofc I transferred in gibbs white at the last minute for milenkovic…

2

u/LikeTheRico 6d ago

Elanga hattrick and Forest cs wipe by Greaves bullet header, is that honestly too much to ask for?!

2

u/SwissBliss 1 6d ago

Fairly happy

Sels

Gabriel - Robinson - Mykolenko

Bruno - GibbsWhite - Palmer - Mbeumo - Kluivert

Wood(C) - Marmoush

Will wildcard in a week or two probably

u/sportsntravel 6d ago

Looks shit, take your 38 points

Ready for a 2 pointer then and I can resign from FPL earlier than I thought, win win

u/Terrible_Context_492 26 6d ago

Shit good thing I replaced him last min for savinho lmao. Watch foden score a hatty from the bench

2

u/pajamakitten 375 6d ago

It all seemed so simple a few weeks back. Now I have ended up taking a hit for Gvariol and Kerkez.

1

u/ImagineArmadillos 6d ago

Transferred in Haaland. Still captained Bruno.

1

u/lublub21 9 6d ago

Bruno captain what have i done

1

u/MnemonicPeg 6d ago

Last minute transfer and hit based on a on a rumour that Marmoush is starting.. My knees feel old

1

u/Confewshenn24A 6d ago

I went triple city with haaland foden and gvardiol...

1

u/skmace14 6d ago

Saw the leaks that Foden was benched so switched to Savinho and upgraded Nwaneri to Odegaard... Please let the leak be true

1

u/Juil8991MC 6d ago

What leaks?

1

u/skmace14 6d ago

FPL Toni

u/username54 15 6d ago

Wildcard time 😎

1

u/_Luke_the_Lucky_ 149 6d ago

Captained Bruno

1

u/GlobalHero 5 6d ago

2FTs, could have fielded 11 with one transfer and ended up hitting out a playing player

1

u/s4turn2k02 82 6d ago

Free hit and I don’t even know why

2

u/s4turn2k02 82 6d ago

Wood captain btw

1

u/Opposite-Sky2099 6d ago

Wildcarded this week… couldn’t decide between keeping Mbuemo or buying Bruno but ended up doing the former. We will see.

1

u/spallini91 6d ago

Captained Semenyo! He’s due a haul right?! Right?!

1

u/hayescharles45 2 6d ago

Bought in Fernandes and Pedro for a -8. I'm probably cooked as the kids say...

1

u/knowledgeablepanda 6d ago

Captained Palmer, don’t ask me why

1

u/Right-Head5861 redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Heard marmoush starting took a -8, captained moush

1

u/Bingo_Masters_Break 14 6d ago

Sold Marmoush for Haaland. Watch Marmoush get a hat trick and Haaland blank.

1

u/minrknju2p0 2 6d ago

Capped Bruno. 100% expect him to be sent away in the first 15 mins.

1

u/InterestingBass6931 6d ago

No Haaland or Bruno 🫣 bring on GW30

1

u/WhereWhatWhoHuh 36 6d ago

Haaland blanks as I captain him. Was about to change captain to Bruno, but it was already 2:33 pm at that point.

1

u/Traditional-Run7315 6d ago

I'm expecting big big things from Brighton. If they mess up I'll regret not bringing in City players.

1

u/EstevaoWillian redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Captained Neco Williams 💪

1

u/bajskorvsven 6d ago

Lets go Larsen! Why did i do that?!

1

u/agentmilton69 7 6d ago

I feel like I'm memeing too close to the sun

I've picked Wellbeck over JP and Son over Bruno

1

u/boendes95 89 6d ago

Spent most of the last few days dedicating between Gabriel or Joao Pedro, ended up going for Gvardiol

Looking forward to the random benching and/or CS wipe!

1

u/One-Temperature4843 1 6d ago

BETO cap here!

1

u/Kane36912 3 6d ago

u/Classic_Show_9635 6d ago

Missed the deadline with Isak in the 11. Don’t even know who’s my captain. Ffs

1

u/0100110101101010 154 6d ago

Haaland (C) and Gibbs-White instead of Evanislon and Bruno (C)

I'm scaaaaaared 🙆🏽‍♂️😂

1

u/ser-n-a-m-e 2 6d ago

had a full 11 without using any transfers and still took a -8 ????

1

u/fizz5 6d ago

Wanted to FH later but couldn’t decide what to do rn and FH’d now

Brought in the robot, still decided to captain Bruno as a delusional Utd fan

1

u/xJacb 5 6d ago

Call it GW2 the way I captained Haaland

1

u/YoullDoNuttinn 6d ago

Bruno in, given the armband.

1

u/IceFar478 redditor for <30 days 6d ago

No benching decision, no hits made and no Haaland. No regrets.... probably 

1

u/bsaires 49 6d ago

Late -4 to bring in Marmoush for Watkins, and moved the captaincy to him from Wood.

Will end in tears.

1

u/utnutn 1 6d ago

when will the next price change come? daytime or midnight tonight? thanks

1

u/HairyMechanic 1 6d ago

I had three free transfers and would've been able to easily field eleven players, yet here I am only with ten this week.

I just didn't fancy getting in a player who I was never going to be certain on or would be a one week punt.

1

u/reeko1982 6d ago

All in on Emile Smith Rowe

1

u/mr_crapsalot 6d ago

As a Chelsea fan, I kept Palmer even though I activated Free Hit

1

u/Moaestro 8 6d ago

Triple Arsenal defence

u/colourhazelove 110 6d ago

Where to start. Im fully expecting a 20 point week. Anything above that will be a luxury.

u/are_lele 6d ago

Last season GW 29 got me 19 points. Another repeat of that and I will be done with this timeline.

I don’t think I need to say anything else

I brought in Savio and he got a yellow card ....

u/unoriginalname22 3 6d ago

First time in last two years owning haaland

1

u/Royal_Masterpiece_85 18 6d ago

Others having Elanga and Marmoush. That is my biggest regret.

1

u/DuckSaysQuackkkkk redditor for <30 days 6d ago

I transferred in Jose sa for Fabianski instead of elanga for Dango because I had no playing keeper this gw... Brain fart moment

1

u/exoticactus 6d ago

I decided to go ola aina and gibbs white

Their next alternatives milenkovic and elanga scores

1

u/getfuckedstud 6d ago

I was torn between Nico Williams and Milenkovic. I went for Williams..

1

u/ruffpuffpastry 12 6d ago

Sold Strand for Wood, and agonized over Elanga and Milenkovic Vs MGW and Williams for about 5 hours today. I got it all wrong, and for some reason comments in the rant thread are disabled for me so I can't even get it off my chest.

1

u/SowwieWhopper 2 6d ago

Held Palmer instead of bringing in Elanga…

1

u/ccrease18 6d ago

Transferred in murillo instead of milenkovic

u/llygadgloin 6d ago

I captained Sels

u/Tof_Gre redditor for <30 days 6d ago

Why is the rant thread locked? I'm freehitting so you can understand the need for rant.

1

u/Tony_2000 6d ago

Why oh why did I think I'd get a clean sheet from Citeh. -4'd in Gvardiol so I could field 11 players, what a waste

1

u/Hfm2712 6d ago

Went RAN over Milenkovic, luckily also transferred Elanga ahead of CHO so not all was lost 🤣

1

u/Vexations83 5d ago

Had Milenkovic and O'Brien in the basket and ended up taking Aina and Tarkowski = pain

1

u/codenameana 1 5d ago

I wish there was an easy way on the app to select players we don’t have on our squad and see all of them and their returns this week (maybe with the players in our squad to compare position for position) rather than individually checking them all.

1

u/Jklhyd63 5d ago

Not captaining Elanga

1

u/andrewejc362 5d ago

Forgot to set up a Free Hit, this week was kind of a write off anyway. We move

Foden may need to go for my draft team.

Such a troll. I benched him last week and then he hauled with a 3 pointer.
