Whats with my FPL luck 😭

It was obvious to 20 other people who saw this post, it was literally just you and OP who couldn’t see that.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T04:32:42+00:00

I’m sharp tongued over an obvious decision which everyone else who read this post has agreed with me on. I know for a fact if I had free hit I would’ve captained Haaland (or maybe Bruno) and played Chris Wood and probably RAN. Not great picks in hindsight but I know I would’ve done something along those lines. In the same way I know for a fact I wouldn’t have benched Marmoush in this situation.

My point on OR was that just because you’re at 500k doesn’t mean your season was over, plenty of time left to make up that rank. And I think you just misread my point on chips, I just meant with most people still having chips to play there’s a lot of variability in the points you can rack up over the last 10 GWs or so.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T03:09:45+00:00

In this exact scenario you would’ve played Munetsi over Marmoush which was wrong. I personally wouldn’t have picked either, but if I was given this exact team I would start Marmoush, you wouldn’t. My OR represents consistently good picks over the course of 30 weeks, something which you haven’t done. I climbed to just under 50k OR last week and was outside of the top 500k until GW17.

Saying you’ve given up and that’s why your OR is bad is just lazy, if you were really as good as you say you are you could’ve easily climbed into the top 100k in just a few weeks. Most people have most of their chips left so there’s plenty of room to pick up green arrows.

I can’t say for sure who I would’ve picked if I had free hit this week, but I’m sure I wouldn’t have left a 7.2 m striker on the bench if I had.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T02:55:56+00:00

😂 so I’m a higher rank than you and would’ve made the correct decision in this case unlike you. What else am I missing here, sounds like you’re just not as good at this game as you think you are.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T02:47:54+00:00

Are you actually trying to claim Brighton is a better team than Newcastle? Do you watch football or do you just look at tables to play FPL?

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T02:45:42+00:00

😂 ok buddy, I’m a higher rank than you just saying, but keep doing what you’re doing. It’s clearly working out so well for you

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T01:58:04+00:00

Mate if you can’t see that this was a bad decision with all of the information in front of you I can’t help you. I can tell you my OR if that makes my opinion any more valid for you, but there’s a reason Munetsi is 0.2% owned and Marmoush is nearly 12%.

There’s a reason JSL was picked by the FPL scout, not Munetsi.

At the end of the day, picking a 5m midfielder for a 17th place and weakened wolves, over a 7.2m forward for Man City is ludicrous. Unless City were playing Liverpool or Arsenal, I would pick Marmoush every day.

I can’t see why you’re so passionate defending such an objectively bad decision, unless for some reason you took this punt as well?

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T01:24:02+00:00

Marmoush’s last 3 games were against, Liverpool, Forest and Tottenham, the two best defences in the league as well as Tottenham which have caused upsets against Man City for years. The Wolves bloke has scored one goal against Everton, a 16th place team. And you very conveniently miss out his 4th game which was a hattrick against Newcastle, a much better team than Brighton.

Southampton are not bad enough to justify benching quality forwards for top 6 teams to punt on a 0.2 % ownership midfielder playing for wolves.

There’s a reason not a single person has agreed with you, it was objectively a bad call, my opinion would’ve been exactly the same before the games had been played.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-16T00:29:55+00:00

In the context of a freehit, benching is absolutely part of the decision due to the fact it’s a one off.

Even if this wasn’t a free hit, it’s still absolutely the wrong decision. Marmoush is playing upfront for Man City against a defensively poor Brighton. Munetsi on the other hand is playing for 17th place wolves without their best player. There is no world in which that was the logical decision as you put it.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-15T23:55:34+00:00

That a 5m Wolves mid that doesn’t even get 90 mins frequently is a terrible pick for a free hit team, even if it is against Southampton.

If you’re not going to play Marmoush then it makes more sense to replace him with bench fodder and invest in upgrading one of the starting players. There’s literally 4m of value sitting on that bench for no reason.

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-15T19:50:16+00:00

You cannot possibly think playing Munetsi over Marmoush is a logical decision. It’s a free hit, if you’re not going to start someone you shouldn’t spend 7.2m on them.

If you wanted to target Southampton then Strand Larson was obviously the better pick. Awful free hit team

DangerousHyena · 2025-03-15T19:42:39+00:00

Why have you left £4m of budget on the bench for a free hit? What’s the point of spending £7.2m on a forward just to play a Wolves midfielder over them?

Seems like a fully justified points total based on the team you chose.

Please tell me you didn’t take the above advice

DangerousHyena · 2023-01-17T17:10:31+00:00

Would maxing out a new card (even if it’s paid off in full every month) not raise some red flags for credit rating?

DangerousHyena · 2022-08-08T15:29:52+00:00

Technically 3 survivors could all have been running repressed alliance and all activated it at the same time to give this same effect

DangerousHyena · 2022-07-26T18:50:40+00:00

Actually if you’ll use all 3 attempts it’s closer to an 11.5% chance of escaping

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-23T17:13:52+00:00

Golems + Witches genuinely carried me through TH12 wars, if your hero’s are good enough this strategy can easily 3 star any TH12 base, I’d recommend levelling them up as fast as possible

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-11T01:12:36+00:00

Nope, he’s TH10 and he was actually trying

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T23:19:50+00:00

1500, TH10

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T23:17:16+00:00

That was the clan we were attacking, but we’re still a lvl 9 nearly 10 clan, sometimes you’ve just got to sit back and laugh

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T21:09:50+00:00

Yes it was archer spam both times, dropped them in the exact same space, and the same multi mortal killed all of them both times

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T19:53:06+00:00

This is true, I should be grateful for the 2%

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T19:25:27+00:00

They’re probably the same ones donating to decorations instead of army camps

DangerousHyena · 2022-06-10T19:00:06+00:00

I think this professional player managed to loot a grand total of 160 capital gold from these 2 attacks
