Anyone else confused by this season thus far?

Post by NorthBankRedemption »

I’m hopefully not going to use this just to talk about my team- I’m interested to hear if others are noticing anomalies this season

I saw that FH3 with zero returns in midfield but still quite a good week in the end.

I have two weeks out of three with only 1 or 2 goal scorers. I know there are many routes to points especially in defcon era but to have literally 2 of 3 game weeks with only 1 or 2 goals in the whole side and a top 150,000 rank is wild to me

Is it just down to low number of goals scored and Hull’s influence ?


Also seeing many players who have returned losing value and being transferred out - Mbeumo Tzolis. I know it’s the knee jerks and casuals but it’s shaping up to be a real strange season, especially once Haaland cools off

I find some of the players losing value very mystifying.

FPL showing the potential changes was always going to lead to EVEN more volatile price changes.

Solace to Konsa (yes, I know...) has probably caused his drop.

As someone who WCed for three, I'm not complaining 🤣

although never exactly revealed the price changes have always been subject to factors other than just transfers in and out at least that's what I read into the previous seasons rules.
At least Hull let in a goal today so they aren't invincible lol.

It is confusing to see Hull with three CS and their defenseive assets towards the top of FPL lists. Never saw that coming.
It's surprising, but less confusing, to see Gakpo with most FPL points of any player.
Not sure if I will draw any lessons from those two facts.
FPL-season has, for the most part, started as many predicted. Arsenal and ManC both have strong assets, the latter more difficult to predict than the former. ManU and Che both look good as well. I've not made any changes to the FPL-plan I made out before the season.
But NBR points to something that is a bit annoying and not according to plan. Players are dropping in price even if they have performed ok. For me, this is first and all happening to my midfield. I'll stick to my planned transfers but admit that I made an early transfer this GW to both avoid a drop and catch a rise. Not what I usually do.
But hey, there are plenty of mid-prices value assets this season so maybe I shouldn't be too concerned.

The question for many of us, I believe, is when to play WC. No point in playing this chip if we are confused. But are we? I fint things a lot clearer now than before GW1.
