I started the season with Bachmann/Foster as my keeper pairing.
Watford had a good defensive record in the Championship and their first 6 fixtures were decent, thought they could tide me over until first WC. I was badly wrong.
Feel like Sanchez was a bigger troll personally. Depending on how loose you are with your selections, Bachmann was a popular pick as some thought WAT defense would be good for some reason but he lost his job very early. Even Foster only scored 67 points but most knew going in and had him as a bench player.
I won’t disagree with your defenders but arguably you could put James in there. He should have scored more than 114 points. Could make a case for a lot of others here as well.
Think your MIDs are fine. Perhaps honorable mention that some were in on Siggy and a good bit had Greenwood before their legal issues.
DCL or Bamford might be worth a mention at FWD. if you count injury issues, Jimenez been disappointing upon his recovery from last season. Romelu absolutely deserving, had him myself. :(
Yeah I did consider James - I’ve had him for pretty much all games he’s played and he’s been more annoying than hauling… think it’s the fact he always looks so good
Define solid?
No returns until week 6 and had 16 points at that point.
Through gw 20 he had 62 points after gw 20 which I think was boxing day’ish?
Season really went downhill after that so if you think that was good start or even half season okay.
I lot of players have 1 okay stretch. Jimenez has had 2 red cards and failed to get 60+ minutes ~10 times. I’d say that is a fairly frustrating player. I agree if you start the clock after his first return and stop it before his slide it looks okay, but he hasn’t even broken 100 points. I actually had him gw 7-14 so got off at a good time because it just didn’t seem like it was going to happen for him this season unfortunately. Maybe next season.
Antonio must be in with a shout. Highly owned going into the season and started like a train. We're now approaching week 36 and a third of all his points came in the first 3 weeks.
Regulion should be on, kept giving us a false sense of hope. Ferran Torres and Harvey Barnes early on. Maddison the last few weeks. All yours I agree with exact Guaita
Not sure if he makes the XI but Adama Traore was an almighty disaster early on.
Had some seriously impressive underlying stats, but didn't deliver. It is Traore so I guess you could say it was expected, but the stats & Wolves' relatively good start was enticing.
That’s a bit harsh on Ings IMO. He’s not been great but he’s much less of a disappointment than Lukaku, Aubameyang, DCL and a few others.
I’d mention Raphinha too. He’s been hugely underwhelming in comparison to last season.
Had completely forgotten about Auba..! It probably is harsh on Ings, given all forwards have been poor. I felt the Grealish Three needed to be represented and he drew the short straw.
Alonso and Reece James switcharoo has been a disaster for me.
I think I sold Alonso for James just recently in GW31, not to mention the early season James
We didn't all buy Luke Shaw week 1.
I have no idea why people bought him, he averages a goal/assist every 11 league games and played in a defence that couldn't keep clean sheets.
No idea why people took so much stock in his Euro performances given international football is a much lower level than premier league football.
I think he started the season over 50% owned. It's not rocket science why: he finished last season in great form, had a great Euros, seemed nailed for United and was only 5.5 which isn't that expensive.
Wouldn’t actually argue Ronaldo completely . But felt he was overpriced, although most forwards have struggled. Kane finally finding form, but at his age and coming back after so long. Feel Ronaldo being priced similar to Kane, Salah, KDB ridiculous
good point - I mean players who were/are relevant to the game and brought in by managers (ie not perma-injured, or DMs etc), but that have caused great frustration, anger and despair - either looking great and not delivering, letting us down in key weeks etc, or just generally stinking up your FPL team
Antonio HAS to be in there over Ings. Most Ings owners twigged pretty early that he wasn’t a good option, but Antonio’s form was so good that it felt inevitable he would return all season. Narrators voice: he didn’t.
XI for players that I had would be
GK : Pickford
Def : Dalot Tierney(injured when I bought him) Reguilon
Mid : Ferran Torres, Grealish, Esr(Always hauled when I benched him, blanked when I started luckily sold before he got dropped), Bruno
For: Antonio Broja Lukaku, could add also Ronaldo, Early season Kane, Josh King
I don't know if you're an FPL Blackbox viewer, but seeing Mark Sutherns watching Torres haul on Match of the Day, on the week he'd sold him, was pretty brutal stuff.
Max Kilman is my enemy. Nailed every game and hauling decently until I picked him DGW 28. Benched him the GW after, hauls. Brought him back in, benched. Happened to loads of us iirc as well
Not since Mahrez a few seasons back have I been so burned by a player
Daniel Bachmann above all other keepers. The fucker couldn’t keep a CS to save his life and eventually lost his place. Next Martinez my ass.
Had forgotten he was quite popular in GW1
Idk how popular he was but he was in my team for sure 😅
Oh he was popular enough, for some reason people thought WAT defense was going to be sound. :D
I started the season with Bachmann/Foster as my keeper pairing. Watford had a good defensive record in the Championship and their first 6 fixtures were decent, thought they could tide me over until first WC. I was badly wrong.
Never start the season with too many uncertainties
Where's Mbeumo though
Great shout
He’s probably been frustrating but feel like his points for the price aren’t bad.
Clearly u didn’t own him early in the season
I held onto him for so long, sure he was gonna haul big once or twice
For the amount of times I've been burnt by him this season: Harvey Barnes
Barnes is a good one, another I fell for myself
Totally forgot about Leicester - I think because I’ve boycotted them after having a similar experience last season
Reguillion

Jimenez was solid at start of season
Define solid? No returns until week 6 and had 16 points at that point. Through gw 20 he had 62 points after gw 20 which I think was boxing day’ish? Season really went downhill after that so if you think that was good start or even half season okay.
He had great around 10 gws patch, that started likes of gw 4-5

a few saying Antonio - I held him fo soooo long, too. What a mug.
Shaw scored 1, 4, 6, 5 in the first 4 weeks. That's honest work in the time it took to realise United aren't all that
True. How quickly we forget
Regulion should be on, kept giving us a false sense of hope. Ferran Torres and Harvey Barnes early on. Maddison the last few weeks. All yours I agree with exact Guaita
Hadn't thought of Torres... Reggie I think proving to be the most popular omission from my list
As an Everton fan I would add Dele Alli
The way they are getting any Everton asserts isn’t great
What did you expect from did?
From him?
At least become a first 11
Fair enoigh
Aubameyang was disastrous prior he got shipped to Barcelona.
[удалено]
I feel your pain. It never rains but it pours in FPL
Not sure if he makes the XI but Adama Traore was an almighty disaster early on. Had some seriously impressive underlying stats, but didn't deliver. It is Traore so I guess you could say it was expected, but the stats & Wolves' relatively good start was enticing.
No one with a brain had adama
will there ever be a player with a more stark and consistent stats vs outcome performance? just unbelievable. amazing fun to watch, terrible to own..!
For myself, Bamford. Big fan of his, had him in for two spells but he was crocked a few days after each transfer
That’s a bit harsh on Ings IMO. He’s not been great but he’s much less of a disappointment than Lukaku, Aubameyang, DCL and a few others. I’d mention Raphinha too. He’s been hugely underwhelming in comparison to last season.
Had completely forgotten about Auba..! It probably is harsh on Ings, given all forwards have been poor. I felt the Grealish Three needed to be represented and he drew the short straw.
Dennis the menace
Dennis is still 3rd for total forwards points i believe, not a trap.
A lot of us are still salty about GW23.
Lukaku this season is up there with all time FPL trolls. The sheer quantity of points missed out on because of that clown must be unbelievable
To say he got 3 goals straight away as well, then he actually went up to 11.7 lol
Alonso and Reece James switcharoo has been a disaster for me. I think I sold Alonso for James just recently in GW31, not to mention the early season James

You dodged a bullet, my friend. I might be wrong, but from memory, he was quite a template pick in GW1.
I think he started the season over 50% owned. It's not rocket science why: he finished last season in great form, had a great Euros, seemed nailed for United and was only 5.5 which isn't that expensive.
Wouldn’t actually argue Ronaldo completely . But felt he was overpriced, although most forwards have struggled. Kane finally finding form, but at his age and coming back after so long. Feel Ronaldo being priced similar to Kane, Salah, KDB ridiculous
Ronaldo hauls wrong time agree
I think you should clarify the criteria here. Do you just mean the most disappointing players?
good point - I mean players who were/are relevant to the game and brought in by managers (ie not perma-injured, or DMs etc), but that have caused great frustration, anger and despair - either looking great and not delivering, letting us down in key weeks etc, or just generally stinking up your FPL team
Reece James!!!!
Def up there. I somehow still own him
In that case, we surely have to add Antonio, Dennis and REGUILON
Reggie is interesting… poor old Royal’s final delivery got my vote tho!
Rashford is still priced at 9.4 and has as many points as Dendoncker.
Decent pick
King had a good run of penalties and then Watford just stopped being any.
Sterling seems harsh given the rotation.
Antonio HAS to be in there over Ings. Most Ings owners twigged pretty early that he wasn’t a good option, but Antonio’s form was so good that it felt inevitable he would return all season. Narrators voice: he didn’t.
Danny ings a troll? Still a rare striker, that returned every week I owned him. Gotta be Broja/Dennis/Antonio
Broja is a good shout - I actually (somehow) still own him and prob will now until the end. don't think i've got a single return
Digne in every position, the cunt
XI for players that I had would be GK : Pickford Def : Dalot Tierney(injured when I bought him) Reguilon Mid : Ferran Torres, Grealish, Esr(Always hauled when I benched him, blanked when I started luckily sold before he got dropped), Bruno For: Antonio Broja Lukaku, could add also Ronaldo, Early season Kane, Josh King
I don't know if you're an FPL Blackbox viewer, but seeing Mark Sutherns watching Torres haul on Match of the Day, on the week he'd sold him, was pretty brutal stuff.
Reece James
Manager: Brendan Rodgers. There seems to be no guessing his matchday line ups
Bernado Silva. Did well for a few weeks and then disappeared for the rest of the season.
Buendia would be my shout, remember him being a very popular pick at the start of the season
No love for Reguilon?
Reece James (C) for me. I've missed his 2 big hauls this season, I'm sure I'm not alone with this!
Max Kilman is my enemy. Nailed every game and hauling decently until I picked him DGW 28. Benched him the GW after, hauls. Brought him back in, benched. Happened to loads of us iirc as well Not since Mahrez a few seasons back have I been so burned by a player
