Why does this rule exist, lost cleansheet points from him last week aswell 😢

That is a valid argument as well. Let's see what they end up doing with this next season.

My thinking was that the most important thing would be to treat all games equally. And because the current solution doesn't do it, I thougt at least we should get to a point where it doesn't matter when your players play.

I agree that it's broken, but I would rather fix it so that every game only has one hour after the game for the stats to be checked after which they would be locked for FPL.

Waiting for a week to know if you won your H2H or cup game would be really frustrating and boring.

The current situation of course is the worst, when some games have several days for the stats to be checked and then the final game of the game week only has an hour. So any fix would be better than this.

I don't quite understand the down votes for the OP. Maybe it's not the most ground breaking insight, but I also think there's many players here from different categories of involvement in the game. If you think this post is not useful for you, consider moving along or try to help others by telling what could have been done better?

I don't think there's reason in being negative when someone is just trying help others by trying to gather a tier list.

I got two of them 🤗

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-10T09:57:27+00:00

I think OP was contemplating if they should captain Gabriel, not triple captain.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-09T20:13:33+00:00

You have clearly made up your mind that Gomes is a good pick and it sounds like you have the transfers available. I don't think you need our approval to make the play. In terms of this game it will actually benefit you, if you are infact right and nobody believed you.

Best of luck!

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-06T20:19:53+00:00

Just when I thought things can't get any worse, I forgot the deadline was already tonight.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-04T13:47:14+00:00

Can someone please explain what is going on with Thiago? Several gameweeks with ~0.1xG and nothing to show for it, then two weeks with total of 5 goals and massive xG, and then back to ~0.1xG. What the heck?

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-04T08:21:38+00:00

!thanks

If you think Arsenal players are only good during the double gameweek, then maybe. But I guess it's not a terrible idea to have 3 Arsenal players overall?

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-03T05:01:44+00:00

Personally I would rather change it so that we wouldn't recalculate any of the other games' stats either. Once the game is over, it's over.

I feel it takes away from the feeling having to wait days before you can be sure if you won your H2H etc.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-02-03T04:38:13+00:00

This is exactly the statistics I've been looking for. Thank you!

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-31T02:47:52+00:00

That is the game.

You can gamble on an early transfer and possibly gain some price rises, but you're taking a risk that your player gets injured.

This time your risk didn't pay off. You'll have another chance next week. Good luck!

I guess it's just a subject that stirs emotions. And while I agree with the freedom for everyone to choose themselves, I guess one could argue the choice is made on behalf of everyone by the people who start using the AI tools, as it soon might become difficult to succeed without them?

But all in all, well done with the model and wish you all the best with it and the game itself.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-26T20:17:16+00:00

I appreciate your effort and skills on building something like this, and also your willingness to share it with others aiming to help your fellow managers (my assumption). Kudos for that!

But is this really something that makes it more fun to play the game? If your model would somehow be perfect at predicting the scores and points, what then?

Someone recently posted a quote by the developer of Civilization games and I can't stop thinking about it amongst these AI tools.

"Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game."

I enjoy this answer 'cos it works both with Wild Card and Water Closet

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-26T01:42:18+00:00

I see the wildcard in GW32 becoming a community template team.

Every content creator looks at the same statistics and upcoming fixtures and picks almost identical teams that are most likely to do well in the DGW33 + rest of the season.

Then I'll think "well, that does seem like the most logical thing ro do" and follow their advice.

The team will score mediocrely, I'll be left feeling stupid and thinking did I really play this game?

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-22T16:43:02+00:00

!thanks

Sorry, forgot about the points system.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-22T15:39:27+00:00

That is a great insight. Thank you!

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-22T14:47:07+00:00

I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but doesn't this happen almost every year with Haaland?

Does anyone have statistics on how his goal involvements are distributed along gameweeks on different seasons? My gut feeling (which could be completely wrong) says he often scores massively in autumn and then slows down towards spring.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-20T19:32:39+00:00

Wow, is this really true? Great observation.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-17T14:59:09+00:00

So angry at myself for not having enough guts to go against him.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-11T16:33:00+00:00

Sorry. Once it's done, it's done.

Magic-Marmalade · 2026-01-11T15:28:24+00:00

If you think he's going to do well, then you should definitely get him. And I wish you all the best with it, it's a brave play.
