Hey @OfficialFPL my 8-year old son just thought of a cool idea for a new chip, called "Double Header": double points for all headed goals and assists in a single gameweek and each headed clearance counts as 2 DEFCONs. Quite marketable I think! 馃槅 Over to you...

What a horrendous gameweek that was! 馃ス Just when I thought I was turning the corner, FPL does what it does best and knocks you back down to the canvas! 馃拃 It was a gameweek of wrong decisions: wrong transfer, wrong captain, wrong vice-captain and even the wrong bench order. And I was punished for every single one. The cherry on top of the cake was Bobby Thomas being my auto-sub, who was subbed off injured 1 minute before banking his clean sheet. Basically everything that could go wrong did this week, and I am down to a pathetic 2.98m rank with only a triple captain chip left to play. The silver lining? Well, at least I don't own Cole Palmer! 馃槅 If you want more advice on what not to do in FPL, feel free to follow me! 馃ぃ #FPL #FPLCommunity

Fulham's defence has transformed with this man in it. First 3 games (without Affengruber): 7 goals conceded and 0 clean sheets. Last 5 games (with Affengruber): 3 goals conceded and 3 clean sheets. Is Fulham still a fixture to target, or should we be loading up on their defence instead?

Given all the craziness GW8 has brought us so far, this actually feels like a mega haul!! Glad I kept the faith in this man. Very handy differential points! 馃憤馃憫

Could have been worse though. At least I didn't captain Cole Palmer!
I captained Joao Pedro. My vice captain was MGW. My auto-sub was Bobby Thomas, who was 1 minute away from banking a clean sheet. FPL is a cruel cruel game!! 馃挃

Lots of chatter about MGW being rubbish, a waste of money etc but he still outscored Cherki by 2 points!

My Saka replacement. Tempted to put the armband on him too, but I am pretty set on Joao Pedro. Anyone brave enough to captain this man? #FPL #FPLCommunity

Despite the Saka injury, I am seriously considering just benching him and rolling my transfer! I've clearly been watching far too many @LetsTalk_FPL videos, haven't I?! 馃ぃ

I think I will go with Joao Pedro captain this week because: 鈽戯笍 He is averaging 11 points per game in home games so far this season. 鈽戯笍 Chelsea are playing well and scoring goals. 鈽戯笍 Tottenham have only won once at Stamford Bridge in the PL in the last 36 years. 鈽戯笍 It's not the early kick-off. I often over-analyse my FPL decisions, but this one just feels like common sense to me. Let's see how badly wrong I get it! 馃ぃ #FPL #FPLCommunity

I have my doubts about this. These are Man City's last 4 results in the PL at Villa Park... 22-23: 1-1 draw 23-24: 1-0 loss 24-25: 2-1 loss 25-26: 1-0 loss Although his yellow flag has been removed, is it really the right call to captain Haaland vs City's bogey team?

My son also got a big green arrow! 馃槉 He climbed 906K places with his wildcard team: 72 all out. Thank you to everyone that gave him suggestions last week! Putting Ajer in the XI was a decision that came out of this feedback. 馃馃檹

Just when I had decided to captain Joao Pedro, this hits my feed! Maybe it's worth a punt on a Saka captaincy this week...馃
Everton have conceded 71% of their goals so far from Right Wingers (5/7) GW3: Mbeumo 鈿斤笍 GW6: Gelhardt 鈿斤笍 + Belloumi 鈿斤笍 GW7: Neto 鈿斤笍鈿斤笍 Saka owners, now is your time

95 all out. Monster green arrow! 馃コ猬嗭笍 17 points from the bench boost and a GW rank of 23,242 helped me climb over 2.2m places. Can't remember ever having a rank rise as high as this in one gameweek! Onwards and upwards! 馃榿 #FPL #FPLCommunity

A green arrow of 2.1m places and still Thomas to play. I'll take it!

Crazy to think that 94.9% of FPL managers don't own this hero!

I seem to be in the minority, but I have a good feeling about Man United today. Carrick is fighting for his job and Leeds are better under lights.

How does Cherki manage to rise in price whilst warming the bench for 90 minutes?! Genuinely don't understand the fascination with this guy.

I don't have Neto but my team name is "Back of the Neto", so can I get some differential points please @OfficialFPL ?!
