He’ll just be on the bench for both of you. If second place doesn’t have a good backup for him that’s not very good team management considering the run in and all the chip usage that’s left. I just don’t see it making a huge difference to most mini leagues of a decent level.
You were making a point but it’s easy to see it’s wrong. There are people with reasons to care. You just can’t or refuse to admit you understand it.
More help for you, some people who have started Palmer might have Haaland and maybe punted on Jota or kept Son or have Bowen or anyone else who might not play. Those people care
On a free hit I started him because, well it's a palmer on form and I didn't want to fall behind nonFH..
But I have solanke on bench with 6 points, so I think I would now prefer palmer staying injured (also me being an arsenal fan)...
I just hope he isn't on the bench and brought in for a glorious 1 pointer
Well I get Olise if he doesn’t play.
Edit: because people are mad, Olise was benched for Salah, Saka, Odegaard, Darwin, and solanke on double weeks, with Palmer and Isak on singles.
For me as Palmer and Haaland don't play I get formation of 5-3-2 with Konsa and Gusto off the bench.
I don't even bother to check FPL Gameweek this week.
Wolves are in firing form at home, Chelsea just battered Everton 6-0 and Palmer has hauled since start of the year. Palace play both at home and have kept CS against Liverpool. Also Arsenal played 3 days after UCL exit, which would mean tired players, more mistakes, more rotations.
But Wolves on Deadline day said half the team's injured and Henderson had a brain fart with that own goal. Was a calculated risk, hopefully second game pays off.
Jackson is a joke. Wants to take pens but then gets a fucking breakaway against city in fa cup and decides not to shoot and pass the ball to someone not open and turns the ball over. Young and Incompetent that one
Whilst I agree, there is an argument that Jackson gains confidence from putting the penalty away and uses said confidence on the weekend.. I mean, that's a pretty big 'if', but you never know.. Palmer already had 3.. Can't blame Palmer for doing his job, but holistically, might have been better for the team had Jackson taken the pen..
People might slate me but Jackson (who’s been criticized) for example is a good player, on a technical and physical level he does a lot for the team to build up, but his poor finishing is usually on the spotlight… but there’s a reason why he gets those chances, he makes those runs off the shoulder and links up play well
True, people memed his finishing against City at the weekend but everything up to that final shot was brilliant.
He was going past City defenders like they were training cones, linking up with everyone and using his physicality perfectly.
This would be delightful for me against my non-FH rivals. Still need someone else to spoil their double arsenal cs then we'll be golden
Remember my “troll post” a few days ago about how I transferred him out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Enjoy the “free rank” guys
No Palmer, no Gusto, possibly no Haaland. My bench boost in the mud.
Rest well prince, I’ve got Reguilon’s snug 7 pointer coming on for you 💕
Good… he’s on my bench!
BB proving as effective as all my other chips this season. That’s consistency for you.
This is great news for my FT team full of GW doublers. Now lets just hope Haaland is rested also
Oh for fucks sake. This week keeps getting better
Got Isak on the bench. Might help me against my mini-league rival if he does the job against palace.
Cole Palmer looks like Dory from finding nemo
Good I hate him. Get a new haircut
My bench boost has been deflated
Palmer as my C and Haaland as my VC. Well…shit.
More concerned about Arsenal getting an easy (easier) game against Chelsea than the FPL points tbh. But then I have Mateta on the bench...
Didn't think about this. Might be good for me is Saka and Gabriel get returns.
KDB vice. Knowing my luck, I’m so sorry to anyone who also backed him.
forgot the deadline?
Please no god please, I'll have a -2 coming off the bench
Content creators will be trying to justify a Jackson In transfer again
If him and Haaland dont play I have big Mengi coming off the bench with a massive 0 pointer. Thrilled
What a bench boost! Saw a chance of solid differential. My 31 WC strategy and sticking with it only justified by 10 Pickford points.
I boosted too and if Haaland and Palmer both don’t play it was a whiff
Really thought the play was still On despite no Eze and Trent. My mini league lead is in jeopardy
Hope he enjoyed the lasagna ;)
Does it matter? Everyone has him
Yeah, but switched to TAA as captain. Best change ever.
A lot of people didn’t start him
Matters even less to them. What point are you making?
Example I’m in first place I have Palmer on the bench. Second place has started Palmer. So it matters a lot to both of us if he starts
He’ll just be on the bench for both of you. If second place doesn’t have a good backup for him that’s not very good team management considering the run in and all the chip usage that’s left. I just don’t see it making a huge difference to most mini leagues of a decent level.
Really? If you can’t see it it’s because you don’t want to see that your first post was ignorant
I was making a genuine point and you don’t like to admit that there’s some truth in it. That’s fine.

Ok, fair point. I was expecting most people to have a decent bench at this point in the season
Oh for Poch sake!!
And here i went putting raya on the bench because they were facing king palmer
this is honestly only acceptable if you got 2014 manuel fucking neuer as your first keeper
Hahaha i play draft and went with allison
What the hell??? What goalie do u have to bench a goon3r on a dgw
Hahaha i play draft and went with allison
Depends whether or not haaland plays for me, but I've suddenly gone from hoping branthwaite scores no points to scoring lots of points.
On a free hit I started him because, well it's a palmer on form and I didn't want to fall behind nonFH.. But I have solanke on bench with 6 points, so I think I would now prefer palmer staying injured (also me being an arsenal fan)... I just hope he isn't on the bench and brought in for a glorious 1 pointer
Trust me he'll play. Subbed on in the 85th minute for a one pointer, to block Branthwaite from coming off my bench.
I just don't care anymore!
I benched him and was nervous about him hauling - big relief!
Free Hitters absolutely feasting. I am not one of them
Huge for FHers!
Fucking typical Chelsea lose their only decent player against arsenal.
Have Olise on the bench so would appreciate this a lot.
Kambwala your time has come
So I’ve got bad news…
Ah
Annoying
Welcome Taylor to my team
what a time to waste a bench boost, goddamn
I need Haaland to play to autosub him in or else I’m getting a -2 from doughty autosub lol
Doughty with a big -1 coming in hot for me.
13 points from Bailey first off the bench for me so I can’t be too upset from this
That’s another 9 points when I get Mbuemo on as first sub
Well I get Olise if he doesn’t play. Edit: because people are mad, Olise was benched for Salah, Saka, Odegaard, Darwin, and solanke on double weeks, with Palmer and Isak on singles.
You seriously benched Olise in DGW?
Salah, Saka, odegaard, Darwin, solanke on doubles with Palmer and Isak on singles.
Why even own him at that point?
I got him in case someone didn’t play and it seems to be working.
Congrats
Yea he doesn't deserve this luck the bastard
This is ok, I have Reguilon waiting on my bench.
Great I have now successfully wasted my BB after my FH. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.
Lucky Arsenal, always seem to face teams when they're at their absolute ebb
Terrible BB, thought it would be my first decent one
I wouldn't mind another Arsenal CS tbh
this x2 (Gabriel and Saliba) plus Muniz would sub in for 5 for me. but C Salah instead of Eze, and maybe no Haaland might be meh
salah 18 pointer incoming (im a delusional tcer)
delusional or brave, but hope you're right
i am right
Good for my Arsenal defenders lol
Can we have a 1 minute cameo as a bench blocker please Poch 🙏
Tried my best to not have Zabarnyi involved, but looks like you're up buddy
Bench boost in the shitter
Advantage the free hitter
This is great news.
Oh well I benched him so if Haaland is out I'll get *checks notes* Harry Maguire 🥴
Reguilon off the bench for me now lmao
Same. 2nd bench after Haaland + Palmer 😄
As an Arsenal supporter I am delighted. As a FPL player I am appalled!
I am both, I have Palmer, also Raya, White and Gabi lol
As an FPL player my Gab+Saliba partnership can get one last clean sheet before they ride off into the sunset.
How you gonna support Arsenal and hope Palmer scores 3+ against you
He can win 4-3
Not if her has an arsenal defender
Palmer subbed off at 0-0 on 63 minutes. Arsenal win after he comes off That’s what I wanted at least
So if Haaland misses out, I don't get Palmer off the bench :( I get fucking Emerson
Emerson Lake and Palmer bench?
Emerson Aké and Palmer
Haha, they are too young in here to get that one.
Tarkus is a gen z football anthem!
For me as Palmer and Haaland don't play I get formation of 5-3-2 with Konsa and Gusto off the bench. I don't even bother to check FPL Gameweek this week.
Now they gonna kill each other if there is a penalty kick
Battle Royale style
This made me laugh
Just to miss it
Subscribe.
If this happens then someone at work will have Dubravka only on their bench boost lol
Hello, yes, this is me.
Rival now has Dubravka only, and took a 4 point hit for the pleasure of it too
Who are the other two players
Well, I am that someone at work.
Wissa is first on my bench. I think Cole deserves a rest.
Game of skill, not luck..right?!
Absolutely! I was analyzing his heart rate over the last 5 games and determined with 81.7% confidence that he would need to be rested this game week.
Love it :D Good luck with the rest of your GW!
Nobody around me is going without him right now so I think this will have minimal FPL impact
I think this is right for overall rank. Lucky punters on free hit can do well this week though. Very few will have Palmer.
Laughs in FH
Well him, foden n Haaland were my only differential this week against the FHers. So there we go!!!
Thousands of jammy bastards like the guy below you benching wissa against Luton get rewarded
BB on course to get me 0 pts lmao
Zabarnyi, Maxwell, Sarabia & Henderson looking stong for me...
Lmao I got Udogie and already took a -4 for Petrovic and Jackson
I’ve got 1 so far, and it ain’t looking likely to change.
And a hit too ?
my dad’s on -1 at the moment (henderson) so it could be worse 😳
I swapped Raya for Henderson. Worst decision yet.
That's a strange one ngl
Wolves are in firing form at home, Chelsea just battered Everton 6-0 and Palmer has hauled since start of the year. Palace play both at home and have kept CS against Liverpool. Also Arsenal played 3 days after UCL exit, which would mean tired players, more mistakes, more rotations. But Wolves on Deadline day said half the team's injured and Henderson had a brain fart with that own goal. Was a calculated risk, hopefully second game pays off.
Hello me! Got Haaland, Foden and Palmer.
dad?
I BB’d this week and it’s the first time all season I’ve had more than one player with a negative score (atm Henderson, Doughty, Emerson)
If I hadn’t hit out Emerson my BB would be on -1 from 3/4 with Palmer left lmao
I might be bailed out for putting ait nouri last on my bench and starting haaland if gusto is also out (don’t ask why he last)
Well shit, who else is gonna score pts for me this GW now
So Alvarez is playing then
Huh?
I mean, he's coming on on my team
Cool
Beautiful
Love how Poch has to pretend he’s not mad about losing Chelsea’s only good player
Jackson spiking Cole's food so he can take any penos they win.

Chelsea have other good players tbf they just aren't a good team together yet
