That's just the way Twitter is since Elon turned it into a little hellscape, isn't it? I mean, sure, it was grim before that, but now pretty much the entire site is geared towards the promotion of ignorance and hatred. If you aren't promoting a brand, I'm not sure there's any other justifiable reason for a sane person to be on there.

Thank you mate, I appreciate it!

[@NoShirtMan]

I see some people having existential crises over scoring the average score but your positive outlook is a breath of fresh air and we follow your content regardless. There’ll always be ups and downs and part of the challenge is remaining even through these. I had double Liverpool defence which was great last week, but they provided me 2 points as both got yellows and conceded a low XG goal as well as playing pretty poorly. Many teams will almost be “unmanaged” already and would be way ahead because they captained Haaland week 1 and haven’t looked at it since! FWIW after the 3pm games Saturday, I was in the same boat, but Watkins and Raya pushed me to 45points.

[@FPL-Tony]

I find wildcarding quite hard now that everything is even more uncertain than the previous gw with the Man C defense rotation, injuries to both Wissa and Isak, Liverpool midfielder rotation, AVL just continuing being awful in defense and the list goes on and on.

[@CodPatrol]

My rank in total is really high, I was thinking of taking a minus 8 in gameweek 6 but I think to maintain my rank I might just wildcard instead. I made the Isak to Watkins switch this gameweek, the early sub was impossible to predict, I just didn’t like how Newcastle was playing and thought Watkins had haul potential in almost every game over the next few.

Tough break Ross. But I remember last season I think I was like 4.8M by GW8 and I finished at like 100k. You definitely can still do it! Just take it with a grain of salt. I only had 48 points from basically Haaland only. I'd still watch your vids if you were ranked dead last. Your videos are always very in depth and super helpful.

[@24karabaja]

Haaland scored 9 from xg around 4.5... absolutely unbelievable, we won't see such thing in 10 years. I started without him, used wc in gw3 and didn't bring him in, and I don't plan to change the decision

[@philiphamilton2803]

Scored 67. Greaves on bench. Surely With Haaland top scorer and by a street. He is a must. To exclude him is asking for pain.

It was a tough GW for most. I got 59 pts. Fair play for putting out the quality content. Let's forget about GW4 and look at the opportunities ahead

[@OceanLoader]

39 pts for my non-Halaand team. Raya, Saka and ASR were my only returns. Just the one FT which I will likely use to catch any price rise for Gabriel before wildcarding for gw6.

[@BetmmaTipsUFC]

I've alternated Henderson and Sels every week... Kept Sels in for the Forest home games and benched him for the Forest away games. Also had CHO on the bench this week and swapped captain from Haaland to Salah last minute when I heard the news about Haaland's friend. The last sentence there puts things in perspective but it was a bit of a face-palmer of a week.

I scored 48 somehow. Thanks for the awesome content. I'm hoping that we will talk up the matchups a little bit better in the upcoming weeks. For example, nottingham forest were unbeaten and had conceded only two goals in three games. That shows that they are a bit stingy and tripling up on Liverpool assets was not such a great call. Also, nottingham had three goals in three games so the clean sheet wasn't a guarantee. Hehehe. I'm really down on diogo jota at this point but will watch the champions league midweek to see how City and Liverpool line up. I don't see City keeping clean sheets as long as they keep playing this back three formation.

[@nathanticehurst4888]

It really does happen to the best of us!

[@mattishidayeo]

One way to cope with having a bad gameweek is to consider if you rolled the transfer. If you did, the value of that one extra free transfer can pay massive dividends because you won't rule yourself out of making an important move to avoid taking a hit. I personally set up my GW1 team to roll the maximum of 5 transfers just in time for Arsenal's fixture swing, forced to downgrade Solanke after his injury so that I could have a starting eleven. Did well for the first two GWs, poor in the next two. But I am ultimately still comfortable because I know I will be approaching GW6 with 3-4 free transfers and save my wildcard for much later.

[@TheDogbert123]

Haaland is scoring 2.25 goals per game so far. If he did that all season he’d score 85 goals which is absurd and obviously not going to happen. Stay strong and know that haaland will slow down. No point bringing in haaland for next week anyway as salah is clearly the better captain and I’m not paying £15m+ for someone I’m not going to captain. Salah will reward our patience and resolve in GW5 🙏

I've gone with Haaland and no Salah since the start. It's only one freak week which has caused a difference in their points. After Arsenal and Bournemouth at home for Salah we could easily be sat here next week with them both level on points again. The hardest thing is finding the cheaper players who score points to afford Haaland so on balance I still think it's pretty even.
