Still, not having Haaland makes me more and more nervous every round. Still time to go until the deadline - but I'm deciding whether to wildcard or not for 2 weeks already.
Manchester's City fixture for this weekend will be a home game, the type that there will be many goals scored and Haaland and Alvarez will score.

This GW for me with Liverpool playing Luton makes me hurt more too for not having Mo' Salah. Salah will score in this game, It has become a normal these days to score in almost every game for Liverpool.

I'm captaining Salah again this weekend since it's a nice game for him to haul. I'm tempted to use my triple captain chip, but I still think DGW is the best moment. This week was the most tough for my captain pick because Halaand and Salah both have easy games.

Schar is ill, and I'm not sure how long he'll be out, so I took him out for Crystal Palace Ghehi. Crystal Palace has a good run of games ahead of them, and I expect them to keep at least three clean sheets.

Yeah, if I want Haaland, I have to get rid of Odegaard (totally fine with that), Diaz (semi-fine with that) and Maddison (not fine with that at all).
I also have to switch formations from 352 to 343, which I think is a mistake due to an abundance of quality midfield solutions.

I'm trying to use the wildcard, I changed my team 7 times already.
I have found a lot of ways to put both Haaland and Salah into my team but the cost is Watkins - and he's looking at a great run of games.

See, that's why I feel a bit smug at getting him on time despite getting donkey points this GW - I know they'll all start firing on their cylinders over the next few weeks.


I'm going to step away from the Transfer page for now, and hopefully the next couple weeks too.
This season is just impossible to have all the players we want in our team. You have to go without someone and two that I am missing at the moment are Saka & Watkins. Simply no way to get them into my team without sacrificing too much. I will probably downgrade Trippier down the the line and take Saka at some point but Watkins can't get into my team without selling Alvarez and I don't feel like doing that since I started the game with Alvarez and I have a lot of money invested in him.

buwaytress and cygan shared the first place of gw10 by managing to collect exactly 84 points this week. After Watkins and Saka's disappointing performances it was a big disappointment for me to collect only 58 points this week. And I have dropped back to 6th place.

I made terrible decisions last week but that not withstanding, thanks for the update. Also, some heads up, I used my WC so you can change the status in the next update. The one time I bet against Haaland and picked Son, he was the star of the show against Man Utd. I wonder what happened ro the talks about Haaland going missing in  big games  Smiley

I couldn't update the boosts in the score board now. I will share an updated score board or edit my first post in 2 days by updating the boosts used. The risk of going on without Haaland has been going on really well for me so far. However his scoring 2 goals against Man Utd and my winning only 4 points from my 2 forward players on the same week finished me off.

If KDB is on the pitch, Alvarez and others are out of the PK picture. If Halaand is ever unsure about taking a PK, he will always pass it over to KDB, but I doubt the robocop will ever push PK away.

Not quite sure - KDB took the last penalty for City a couple of years ago. The last one I recall was saved by Alisson.
I feel Alvarez would be the second in line now that Mahrez is gone.

City's entering a tough period as well - not the best of times to go for City assets. I still wanna do it though.

As long as Halaand is on the pitch, he's always the first choice PK taker unless he decides to give it to someone else. Missing one or two wouldn't change anything.

Nah, I don't really think that. Miss a few and you're out, especially in a team like City.
They are pushing Haaland to increase his numbers, and Pep is doing the right thing by giving it to him. But I'd really be surprised if he would give him the 5th penalty if he missed 2 out of 4 already.

Whenever we felt somebody was untouchable at City, we were proven wrong quite soon. Haaland's fantastic, but in a team like that you don't have much room for error.

Still, irrelevant now - Haaland's scored 4 after his initial miss which will keep him in the position.

If KDB is on the pitch, Alvarez and others are out of the PK picture. If Halaand is ever unsure about taking a PK, he will always pass it over to KDB, but I doubt the robocop will ever push PK away.

Harkorede – I was planning on having another toe-to-toe with you this season after kicking your a$$ to fifth place prize last season, but you're deep in the relegation zone, and I'm likely to expand my lead to 100 points this weekend. If you still think we're early in the season, we're nearing the end of the first leg games.

Finished top 200k last season, I'm aiming for top 100k this season.

What do you mean now that he is even on penalty duty? He is on penalty duty since the moment he came to City.

I kinda phrased it incorrectly. Last season City had 3 penalty takers - Haaland, Mahrez and Alvarez. I actually feel Alvarez takes them better than Haaland.
Haaland's got a good success ratio - but the same as Salah - I'm never convinced when he steps up to take it.

Considering that Haaland missed the first penalty of the season and Alvarez is a starter now, I felt there's a chance that he'll be the team's first penalty taker if Haaland misses one of the next penalties as well. Haaland has now scored 3 in a row, so I feel he'll remain the main guy even if he misses the next one.

It seems that now I am ready for the owners of Mitoma or Saka to receive points from scored goals.  Wink

Shit, Shit, Shit

Having two free transfers, I gave up Haaland in favor of Jesus and a top Leverpool defender.

Jesus got injured and I had to use -4 to attract Alvarez. In addition, I have Digne... the guy who was the most active and who should have received 3 bonus points. As a result, Aston Villa got an own goal, and as luck would have it, Cash was replaced before (which ruined my mood even more). But I found a way out of the situation... I will bet money on Mitoma or Saka scoring a goal in the next game week. If this happens then I will get money, if not... you guys will not get points (and I will double every time until this happens).

I thought i'll go down a few spots in the rankings once again but the automatic substitution saved me from losing a few points after one of my five midfielders didn't start.

I tried to be cute and captain Watkins as I like playing around with whoever is facing Luton, that's 13pts down the drain from Haaland  Embarrassed
Same here, I always have Haaland as my captain and recently removed it because he's been getting not many points these past couple of rounds and now I missed 9-10 points for picking a different captain.  Tongue

thanks guys for the congratulations, i really didn't think that i would ever win a matchday in this competition, especially since i don't go through the upcoming pairings week by week and therefore change my squad accordingly Smiley
i scored the 84 points with 10 players - Trippier was the only one who didn't score any points this time

Nkunku will be back on GW16 but I'm worried the Chelsea curse will hit him too.
Chelsea will still need to get a goal scorer and goalkeeper at the next opportunity. They look good in every other position except these two. Nkunku cannot be trusted to remain injury free for long, the man can get injured even in training and be out for weeks.

I vice captained Palmer, I expected him to score against Brentford and have a great GW. It did not go as planned but I do not regret it as my former choice of vice captain Bruno Fernandes played even more poorly in the the derby game against city.

Yay for me winning GW! Like Trofo said no need to rush transfers I've really just sat down 2 weeks now waiting out injuries and form while clearing out Brighton.

Such a pity some unexpected player absentees but I guess Diaz playing might not have allowed Nunez to shine so much.

Yeah, you got Haaland, stop being fresh already and keep that armband welded to him! Me, patiently waiting for Darwin to rise and end the order of Haaland with freakish chaos.

Yeah, now that he's even on penalty duty, Haaland is a must pick. I will reshuffle in order to get him, I'm in too good position so far without him but I feel I've pushed my luck a bit too far.
Thanks for the insight and didn't expect him to perform as good as he did thinking this was going to be one of those fixtures that Haaland blanks like he did last week... and had to reassign captain duties to another player which sacks because the Norwegian is among the highest scoring in this gameweek  and missed out on these extra valuable points Tongue
