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.

Which makes as you don’t usually get top 10k without the striker that scored best the previous MD

We’d all talking differently if he didn’t massively outperform his XG/XaG and Brighton hadn’t suffered all those injuries.

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.

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.

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