    Here’s a quick look at gameweek 26 before the gameweek 27 deadline today! Gamweek 26 was a gameweek that saw a bit of points variance. Even though the average game weekscore was down to 46 from 76 the gameweek before, some managers managed good scores – picking up points from Villa assets and Jarod Bowen, and more. Bowen is only owned by 19.2% of managers of the time of writing, and owning a player that scores double digits in a gameweek where points are hard to come by, is everything an FPL manager wants! Our gameweek winner Flip & Flop, got points from not only Bowen – but also Douglas Luiz and Watkins. This led their team to 77 points. Congratulations! =D>

    Missed the final between Chelsea and Liverpool. Was it an eventful game, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns?
    Need some hammers points from 3 players today.

    Which three players do you have, @007InAction? A rival in another league is a West Ham fan, and obviously had a very good gameweek!

    I had Areola,Emerson and Ward-Prowse. No Bowen...

    It was a good final we played a lot of young players as we have maybe 8 starters injured.

    Salah, Darwin might be back soon.

    Erling 5 goals KDB 4 assists today.........

    12 points from Emerson isn't bad, though!

    With Erling scoring 5 goals, it's hard to look past him for the captaincy this gameweek…
    Pogba banned for 4 years, a sad end to a once great player if an appeal fails.

    Sad end to his career for sure, if this is the final verdict. Haven't followed the case too closely, but it was performance enhancing drugs, right?
    Dominic Solanke Knee injury - 50% chance of playing

    We need some players back.
    Klopp: Salah not fit to face Forest; Nunez, Szoboszlai back training

    Really want a fit Solanke for this gameweek, but I can't chance he doesn't start, so I've been forced to replace Hwang after one game played…

    It's been a busy week so I haven't had much time to prepare for this gameweek. My team is lit up like a Christmas tree, so I might be forced to make a hit this gameweek too.

    I missed the deadline though thankfully put the arm band on Haaland after his return to form, as a United fan dreading tomorrows game with our injury decimated squad.

    I bet I'll regret mine too, haha!

    Sold Estupiñán for a hit, as he's been an issue in my team – only for him to start a game for once!

    Here are the gameweek 27 captaincy picks!
    Haaland: 7
    Watkins: 4
    Saka: 2
    Salah: 2
    Son: 1
    Rice: 1

    We have six different captaincy picks this gameweek, and although most have looked to Haaland for the captaincy, four managers have backed Watkins to deliver against Luton. Saka and Salah are the only other players backed by more than one manager – and we now know Salah won't feature this afternoon. Good luck everyone!

    Just looked at our league, I can't believe how much ground I have made up in the last 3 weeks I think I was over a hundred points plus off the leader now only 38 points, it shows you how quickly things can change in FPL.

    Hahaha! If I had any bench cover, I would have benched him too.

    Indeed. Ben Crellin on Twitter had a pretty bad score (for him that is) not long ago. I think he's inside top 10k now.

    I will be happy if I finish in the top 500k considering the season I have had lol

    I have not followed Ben Crellin, you have mentioned him a few times will see if he is on YouTube (I am not on any other social media).

    My goal is top 100k before every season, but I don't think I will manage to get there this season unless I take some punts that pays off. My team mostly covers template picks right now.

    Ben Crellin is only on Twitter, though he was a guest on this week's The Green Arrow:

    Cheers will have a look, this season I have taken maybe 2 or 3 hits so not really taken risks.

    I think my hits are on par with previous seasons, but they've been mostly forced moves this season, due to injuries or doubts.

    I made the right decision to swap Leno for Areola at the last minute, Areola has saved a penalty... credit to you @Torgeirtrap if you did not say anything I would not have checked my team.

    Your welcome! I was in doubt if I was to play Areola or Dubravka. Ended up playing Areola; time will tell who finishes on most points.

    I have the Liverpool game on, but noticed that Chelsea have taken the lead. Brentford are not having a good season though, to be honest. It will be interesting to see if having Toney back will get them some results going forward.

    Toney's return seems to have coincided with bad form, this season my keepers have done very little though to be fair we have not had many clean sheets from teams.

    Good point, it doesn't look like there's been many clean sheets around this season – or at least it feels like there hasn't been!

    Gotta laugh ... last-second winner from Nunez.

    Poch is probably right, I can see Klopp getting every 50/50 call and benefit of the doubt until the end of the season.

    Still like Arsenal and City to finish ahead of LP though ....

    Even as well Forest played to keep Liverpool from scoring, I was convinced that they somehow would find the net. I certainly regret not placing a bet in added time!

    One of the three teams will slip up, and I expect it will be the youngest, most inexperienced team that will do do – which is Arsenal.

    Arsenal have placed themselves at a disadvantage with the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu and Partey all injury doubts at several points throughout the season. The squad is simply too thin to go all the way.

    Liverpool were lucky to get the 3 points in the last seconds which makes the win even better....

    We've got Manc next at home.

    Arsenal are flying atm.

    I certainly don't expect Arsenal to keep this up. They get a couple of periods each season where they get some results, but they always come up short when it matters the most.

    That game against City will be interesting for fans and neutrals; the fixtures look decent for both Liverpool and City after that game, so it's not unlikely that this game will be the title decider.

    Not confident away to city, we have too many key players missing... even with them it would be tough. I will take a draw now tbh.
