Small tip: Take Wilson out and replace him with Watkins - Aston Villa play Burnley this weekend, and he'll be my captain.

After reading your post, I bet $100 on Watkins to score a goal.

For me, it will be fine in any scenario ... if he scores I will win money, if not, I will overtake you on points. Grin

I will most likely be out over the weekend (at least 24 hours before the first match) so I have a day or so to think about who I should replace Maddison with (although I think I'm protected from the price cut). However, I need to decide quickly, because if the price of Foden increases, I will not have many options.

My eyes are on the next players: Phil Foden, Richarlison, Sterling.

After finishing the first week 5 points ahead of you it became quite bad for me to get 5 points behind you this week. The presence of Gabriel and Stones at the same time among my defense choices put me in a really difficult position. I chose Gabriel because of thinking that he would be able to score more goals than Saliba by set pieces. However it looks like Arteta's plans this season are much more different. I also think Foden's price can increase.

I want to make space in my team to put Haaland but its very difficult in terms of money and also in term of free transfers, so for now Haaland remains out of my team.

If I were you, I would not take a risk by putting Halaand into my team, at least not right now, because you have a very strong front line with Alvarez and Nketieh, both of whom are expected to score this weekend.

They are gonna give me back my points in Fantasy? Grin

No! Fuckers were even worse last season. There was a player that scored goal, not sure anymore who it was and it was a question if he touched the ball or not. First it was given, then Fa decided it was own goal. Then few hours later they revived and gave it back to player. Points were already calculated and we got robbed for regular goal in Fantasy.

Uff man that its really bad, just imagine if you lose for one or two points all the tournament and was for something like that, i can be really mad.

It was March's goal and Mitoma assist- I can't remember who he scored against.

Fantasy rules forbid adjustment of points after they have been awarded; they jerks robbed me of March's 5 pointer last season.

Another red card reversed shows the VAR's and refs' incompetence. We're only two games into the season, and the VAR has already made several errors.

it was Brighton for sure, can't remember was it Mitoma or March to get robbed for that goal

looking at my squad it is really worst happening, had Watkins, thinking at least to have some points if Everton is going to be down against Villa, and Villa scored 4 goals without their only Forward on scoresheet
same for Newcastle, captained Haaland to hedge that with three Newcastle players (GK and Trippier), but Alvarez was only one on scoresheet

some things will be changed between weeks, two free transfers are there to be used

Alexis Mac Allister red card has been overturned.

There's already been a stampede transferring him out. You wonder if he'll slide down to 5.9m at midnight and become a bargain buy.

I was gonna change him, but i decided to wait a few days more because i want to be sure his replacement its gonna play, now with this new i dont know what to do really.

About the red card, i said that in one previous post, it was a non sense. So justice in someway. They are gonna give me back my points in Fantasy? Grin

I started to climb positions, they care... im going for you (people between 10º and 29º position, the other ones are in other league, for now.....).

I think i climb only because Haaland dont make goals and give thousands of points to everyone. I have Julian Alvarez but he doesnt make so much points.

If what you said about Saka no longer being on penalty to be the case the, I will gladly rather have Odegaard ahead of him Huh

I do not think it is on a permanent basis, Arteta is just trying to mix things up for Arsenal and not be as predictable as he was last season. You could see the confusion on the face of Johnstones the Crystal Palace Goalkeeper because he had clearly studied and prepared for Saka in the case of a penalty in the game. He was smoked by Captain Martin Ødegaard.

So this season, I am sure penalties will not only be taken by Saka, Martin Ødegaard and even Jorginho will have their chances to be on penalty duties in all the competitions that we are involved in.

Also, seeing Partey and Declan Rice play together is something unexpected.

This was actually one of the main drivers behind my decision to leave Haaland out of my team.
90% of people had him in their teams the last time I checked - meaning that I'm in a really good position for the freebets any time he struggles.

With KDB out, I'm curious to see if people will start selling him. He'll still get a shitload of points, but the price to pay is high.

If some of you are still confused why he won the GW, wait until tomorrow when official page calculates all the points and makes transfers. Odegaard has 3 bonus points, Henry is coming from the bench and White has 1 bonus point. This was perfect Monday for his team

Total of 71 points.

I can't say I'm not happy with 55 points and 13th place

I knew Odegaard would be the silver bullet at some point.

Now if only Mings wasn't injured and I had some non-blanking keeper, I'd be very close too.

That makes two us, I don't think I can complain much since it was an upward trend for me in the leaderboard and I was able to move up a couple positions up to 12th, that should be just right above you, I must say there have been a lost of twist and turns to my projection and expectations for the first two game weeks and might be forcing me to take a few drastic steps in the next 2-3 game weeks if there are no changes, I picked my team without emphasizing of defense yet and mostly based on game time and expected productivity, but it's either coaches have decide to disrupt their defense lines a bit and solid defenders like Gabriel isn't getting to start a game, or team that you'd expect a clean sheet are just utter bullsh*t, meanwhile the premium midfielders so far are nothing to write about, I understand that it's still to early to get in a panic zone, but accumulating just 2-3 extra points weekly is what often defines the winner, not just a couple of good game weeks.

GW 2 was pure FPL, Saka not on penalties anymore was something not many predicted but it worked really well for some, like our GW2 winner Cryptofrka.
Congrats, that will be 1 mBTC free bet paid next Monday.

if only he switched the keepers he would have won. 10 pointers from Areola on bench will hurt a lot.

I don't think Saka is no longer on penalties, if you look at the play you'll Saka had the ball for the longest period and only gave it to Odegaard, I'm sure that goes along with the 3 bonus points, because Saka sure would have earned a couple of bonus points too had he taken that penalty and scored it, right ? I would have chipped Gabriel out right away but since Tomiyasu would miss naturally miss the next game, I don't see any reason why Arteta shouldn't give him his first start of the season, If what you said about Saka no longer being on penalty to be the case the, I will gladly rather have Odegaard ahead of him Huh

GW2 has just been filled with many strange happenings. Very many unexpected performance from players who I expected to do well this week. And even the players that I was not so sure of how their performance will go, they did not perform unexpectedly, their performance went as expected, which is very poor.

It's a waste of time to spam crosses against tall Westham defenders.

You will wonder If Poch did not know this, and know that that strategy will not work. Terrible line-up, terrible tactics.

Quote from: Igebotz on August 20, 2023, 05:04:20 PM

We had an awful and unfortunate day. We played brilliantly, had the most opportunities, and still lost. Enzo's PK miss affects the game's outcome.

Enzo played well, but because he missed a penalty, that strikes out his good performance. Had he scored that penalty, Chelsea would have had something more to fight for.

Quote from: Igebotz on August 20, 2023, 05:04:20 PM

Can't blame Caidedo for that tackle; he came into the game with his head held high and high hopes, but he will come through.

Poor debut performance from him compared to James Ward-Prowse who cost way lesser than him. He will play well, but we do not need to think too much or expect much of him. See Mykhailo Mudryk, he is just a regular player right now too even though he is valued at almost the same price with Caceido.

Quote from: nelson4lov on August 20, 2023, 05:14:06 PM

I was considering Jackson as a second striker but its obvious he won't shine if he's getting poor service delivery from a lacklustre Chelsea midfield.

Jackson disappointed me too, he is on my team, and I was expecting points from him, just too bad!

No way man, and not related with my last post but, man i never see a player play SO BAD like Caicedo today, he enter the game like he was sleep, no strength at all.

About Chelsea team.... i dont see so much light in the end of the tunnel, seems like they are stills tuck in the same vibes from alst season, i dont see any good play make by them. They play with one more man for 20/25 minutes and they create 0 chances.

I was seriously considering getting Chilwell sometime in the next 2 weeks after attending to critical areas of my squad that needed changes but now, I won't be too quick about that. Chelsea's team was just terrible and for someone priced at 115M like Caicedo, I wasn't surprised to see him perform even poorer. After going through his stats, I was super glad that Liverpool lost the race to Chelsea and they bought him at an overpriced rate. Its looking Pochettino is not the going to save Chelsea as he couldn't make massive difference at Tottenham or PSG.

I was considering Jackson as a second striker but its obvious he won't shine if he's getting poor service delivery from a lacklustre Chelsea midfield.

Replaced Burn with Estupinan (I like the guy but he's got Liverpool for GW3 and hasn't kept a clean sheet so far). My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. J. Pedro next to leave my team came from bench and blew the only point he could provide for the entire gameweek. I need to get me a Mitoma.

Watkins captainers where are you? Lets go

Don’t make me have to regret my choices with not lifting my captain band from E. Haaland against such a good side like Newcastle United. Haaland and 4 points, felt like a goalkeeper that wasn’t able to manage a clean sheet. He would have to make up for that.

I'm glad I did! Halaand is terrible without KDB. He's going to struggle as long as KDB is out. Watkins 10 pointer saved my week.

Quote from: Smartvirus on August 20, 2023, 01:36:23 PM

Chelsea managed it to get so many crosses across the box but, no one is always there to make that good enough lift to head the ball. It’s just sad for Caicedo, huge money and gave out a penalty in his first appearance, that’s going to weigh heavily on him.

It's a waste of time to spam crosses against tall Westham defenders. We had an awful and unfortunate day. We played brilliantly, had the most opportunities, and still lost. Enzo's PK miss affects the game's outcome. Can't blame Caidedo for that tackle; he came into the game with his head held high and high hopes, but he will come through.

My substitute goalkeeper was also Areola just as it was the same for the squad of most people. But I must say that I'm happy anyway for having Ederson. I was expecting more from Haaland and Manchester United players this week however they were able to collect very few points.
