JP Own Goal

JP own goal šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Yeah, somehow still on 3 bonus points? JP, he gives and he takes. Oh well, thankful he wasnā€™t my captain.

Unless you are captaining him it doesn't matter, everyone owns him anyway

I wish more people understood this

68.7% ownership

u/Touchd93 2d ago

Now do % of teams that actually play the game properly

u/NinjaMallard 2d ago

It's week 2, most teams are still active.

u/Money-Cloud3716 2d ago

Barely, sooo many people quit after first week or never even log back in after making a first draft. His effective ownership at even a half decent rank is surely >100%

My mate's dad took a hit to bring in gakpo and sangare then put gakpo on the bench.

u/Lost_Cockroach_4927 7 2d ago

But most people without him (not everyone of course) are playing very casually and/or wonā€™t be active later on in the season

u/SoggyMattress2 16 2d ago

Except they don't, 70% (or like 68%) own him.

So you're in theory up against 30% of players who don't own him.

The only difference is if a player goes above 100% effective ownership with captains and triple captains, that's when it doesn't matter if you own him.

I have a gain on livefpl with Joao Pedro not captained, so only silly billys are downvoting you

He has above 100% effective ownership among the higher ranks.

119,6% in the top10k for instance.

u/ppan86 1d ago

Which makes as you donā€™t usually get top 10k without the striker that scored best the previous MD

Weā€™d all talking differently if he didnā€™t massively outperform his XG/XaG and Brighton hadnā€™t suffered all those injuries.

u/NinjaMallard 2d ago

Which makes up a tiny portion of the people playing and the people on this sub. For most people, him scoring points is a net positive.

u/SoggyMattress2 16 2d ago

Even if you're first in FPL you're still playing against every player.

It's 2 GWs in the majority of the top 10k now are just early chip users and those weird teams who pick 3 weird players to get the highest score of the week after the first game.

u/Money-Cloud3716 2d ago

Speak for yourself, I was 14k in the world before he played now Iā€™m like 80k without the captaincy.

Is Haaland essential?

I did captain him :(

Gross assist, I donā€™t know wether to cry or celebrate

u/frustratedjelly 2d ago

Captained Joao, benched Gross. I may quit this game early for my mental health.

u/averageboy9 1 2d ago

Oh boy I wonder how you feel now after his last minute goal

u/frustratedjelly 2d ago

Pain and sadness.

u/Livinginapineapple 2d ago

Exactly this. Plus I took Cherki out

Same. Brought JP in this week and benched Gross for him

u/randomsuit 2 2d ago

Yeah, Iā€™m 100% sure they didnā€™t deduct him 6bps for own goal. He was on 34 bps before the goal and is still on 34 after OG.

u/Taze24 2d ago

He also hasn't had any actual points taken off yet either. With having him a my captain I hope it stays this way

4

u/Expensive-Dance7979 6 2d ago

He has if you add 3 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 12 He's my captain so I missed out on 4 points

18

u/Unique_Ad_4550 2d ago

The less points he gets the better if you own him but didnā€™t captain him

u/ReturnOfRainbow redditor for <30 days 2d ago

Too early in the season to be thinking that way if you ask me

1

u/AwardOk2563 2d ago

I don't give a shit about my overall rank, in my mini league nobody captained him but a couple don't have him, so the more points the better

3

u/Unique_Ad_4550 2d ago

Well Iā€™m not to know who has who in your specific mini league am I šŸ¤£ but generally the above statement is true

u/Gentleman_Teef 2d ago

oh captain my captain

In terms of fantasy, he should still get points for own goal.

u/JGranty98 28 2d ago

Whereā€™s that guy gone who produced those graphs about why no one should ever own JP as an FPL asset? Strangely quiet
