How FPL Harry, Mark Sutherns and more did in Gameweek 14

“The house always wins.”

Mid-week games are always problematic and subject to rotation, but many of us have made the situation worse by betting against it Erling Haaland (£15.0m), as Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) batted its Portuguese eyelashes at us.

What happened was several days of self-inflicted torture for Bruno’s captains as they awaited their fate after Haaland’s Tuesday flight.

As expected, line-up roulette took place, with Bukayo Saka (£10.1 million), Jurriën Hout (£6.4 million) and Igor Thiago (£6.8m) starting on the sidelines. It’s just a shame Bruno didn’t do the same.

Still, we need to make transfers now, before the AFCON top-up giveaway is just around the corner. I wonder if Colin from Accounts will remember. I bet he was Haaland’s captain. I hate Colin.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

While Gameweek 13 was a sea of ​​green, Gameweek 14 was predominantly crimson – especially for those who gave Fernandes an armband.

The big winner was Ben Crellin. After deciding to play his Free Hit, a total of 79 points came in as his gamble on a Crystal Palace defensive triple-up paid off. Those three alone contributed 36, giving him a green arrow of 196,000. Just think what would have happened if he had been Haaland’s captain.

The other greens belonged to former Scoutcast sparring partners, Mark and Joe. Daniel Munoz (£6.1 million) was their common denominator, as Phil Foden (£8.3 million) gave Mr Sutherns an edge.

TRANSFERS

There was a frenzy of transfer moves because of it Mark Senesi‘s (£5.0m) suspension and Ismail Sarr‘s (£6.5m) injury.

Yankuba Minteh (£6.3m) was a popular choice but had a disappointing debut, although the same cannot be said for Luke Williams and Mark Sutherns’ signing of Foden. The exciting attacker collected 32 points in a few days.

There was a bit more uncertainty when it came to Senesi’s replacement. Nico O’Reilly (£5.2 million) and Malick Thiaw (£5.0m) came in for what

‘THE GREAT AND THE GOOD’ TEMPLATE

Then the template, where there are a lot of changes as the managers start to use up their remaining free transfers, and we see this return from the Free Hits-influenced squad of Gameweek 13.

Munoz, Minteh and Thiago are the newcomers.

Dubravka (88.9%), Raya (44.4%)
van Dijk (77.8%), Timber (55.6%), Munoz (44.4%), Rodon (44.4%), Senesi (38.9%)
Fernandes (83.3%), Saka (77.8%), Semenyo (72.2%), Minteh (55.6%), Enzo (44.4%)
Onland (94.4%), Mateta (83.3%), Thursday (38.9%)

CHIP KING

Now let’s look at the chipping success – or otherwise – of The Great and The Good. Please note: due to timing, this only applies to last week and therefore does not include Ben Crellin’s Free Hit.

It’s probably no surprise to anyone that Pras, FPL Wire’s chief chip strategist, is leading the way with impressive use of his Free Hit, Triple Captain and Bench Boost.

Elsewhere, Tom Dollimore is the Free Hit king, thanks to his efforts in Gameweek 13. FPL Harry wins the Bench Boost battle, although Joe and Luke’s are still to come, and let’s not dwell too much on when it was best to activate the Triple Captain chip (Gameweek 6, for those not paying attention).

CONCLUSION

So there is a rapid fire during this Gameweek, because we are at it again this weekend. Let’s hope for a little rotation and a little more understanding from the FPL gods.

Anyway, that’s all mine for now, and remember, don’t have any FPL nightmares.
