Darwin is probably the worst 7.5 pick in the history of PL Fantasy.
There are 6-rated players I'd rather have in the team.

Liverpool started with Diaz and Salah, meaning that Darwin will rarely play as a 9 - it will be either Gakpo or Jota, and they will play in a more supportive role - not attacking one.

Darwin will get some rotational minutes - but would be the first player to get kicked out of my team if I had him there.

Stones losing a point is actually horrible news for me - no way I'm going to replace him now.
I planned to switch him out after GW2, if he does not play there (and is healthy), his price might drop even more.

Now I know why I never play this - I could look at this for days.

I'll take the cash hit and replace him, but first there's a whole bunch of players who I have to replace eventually (in order of decreasing severity - Grealish, Mings, Darwin, Mitoma[?]).

I was hoping he'd contribute to the Burnley match by at least keeping a clean sheet, but since he didn't, continuing to keep him in the squad is screwing it.
I get it for Mings, serious injury and he should go out asap. He is also on a brink for price fall, should happen soon. But what is wrong with Grealish, Darwin and Mitoma?

All City players are minutes risk, I think we all know that and you took Grealish, what changes after GW1 that you want him out?

I would happily play Darwin against Bournemouth, why thinking about his transfer now? Mitoma is perfectly fine for at least 2 more games, after that maybe better to ditch him for Mbuemo or Diaby.

Stones is also good option, I am even thinking of taking him for Shaw maybe. He had a small injury and got rested, he should start next couple of games for City.

Edit: forget about Stones, I just read he got a new separate injury in training this morning. Something with hamstring, could be few games but no official words yet.

Take care everyone, because Manchester City played for european Supercup today, so maybe Guardiola makes some rotation in the team. I dont why UEFA makes this game when the seasons was started for both teams.

Stones won't be benched again for Newcastle even though his value just went down (shoot.) because he didn't play in the Super Cup.

Hopefully he makes a banger next match just to prove a point.

Going to take all notes from Trofo dang dude, how are you so good in fantasy. Im planning on adding Mitoma though but their fixtures made me change my mind so Im probably going to bench of one of my strikers to add another midfielder the next round after this.
I don't consider myself very good in fantasy but I know I have a right mindset for it, which is actually quite opposite to popular beliefs.

Let me give you an example, who is better GK for your team based only on GW1 data, Onana or Pickford?
Correct answer would be Pickford and it isn't even close. United defense were horrible and on another day Onana would concede 3 goals and be guilty of penalty and end on minus points. He and United got lucky, while Everton actually were quite good defensively.

Only player I am actually thinking of dropping from my team soon is Shaw. That poor defensive performance came against one of the worst teams in the league and I think United will have big problems in defence early on in the season.

Past points are just that, points your players got in the past, you can't get them any more. Just think about all the people transfering Varane in their team and he just scored his total goals for the season in GW1.

Lol love the teams name, very intimidating lol Grin


Ikr  Cool

Can I still change it to 'Im sucks' in case if Im not even in top 10 this season lol

It's just game week 1 mate, the player that'd end as the overall winner in the world ranking likely is currently out of the top 50% of the current ranking.

Yeah but considering that there are alot of good fantasy players in this pool and we have only 5 places paid I think, getting even 1 bad round would totally change the final outcome of this pool. Heck I think getting barely just above the average wont be enough to make it to top 5 in this pool

With Manchester city taking part in the Super cup against Sevilla atm, how viable is it to have city assets for game week 2 Huh Am thinking these guys won't have the energy facing a New castle side that are rested & highly motivated with their goal galore they had in game week 1, and they will want to maintain a top 5 finish looking at last season's performance...
Tbh, I see the top guys in the City team blanking especially that KDB is also out of the picture, whats your take..

I'm going to give Gabriel a chance in my squad this week as well. However if he doesn't have much playing time again I have decided to give place to Chilwell+R.James duo because Chelsea's fixture is also good. I started to think that I made a mistake by not having Maddison instead of Son in the midfield. However it is still very early to think about these things.

I was also very bad last season. Guys, if you are playing this  game for the first time I think gaining experience is greatly enough. On top of that if you use your boosts in the right time it would be much easier for you to become the player who collects the most points of the week.

Wilson still seem like favorite for that position imo,

Well he is good but Im not sure if he is going to do anything next fixtures against City. Seems like a stable decent choice for me alongside Haaland

The context from my point of view isn't about either player's effectiveness against Manchester City this weekend, but rather which of them would occupy the center forward position more this season, all things being equal, that is, if both players are duly fit and not out of form.

Mitoma is great short term pick, 2 more games and then Brighton fixtures turn for worse. I will probably change him to Mbeumo then. I would avoid him if you have any other cover for Brighton attack. Problem is Brighton will score a lot of goals in next 2 games and Mitoma should be their attacker which plays most minutes.

@icopress: the reason Salah does not have so many minutes during preseason is because Klopp likes to rotate the entire squad at half-time during friendlies.

Free tip: Don't buy Isak

I just realized he is most transferred player in, and he has already risen in price. But he is playing against City away next, arguably the toughest fixture in the whole season. This isn't the week to bring Newcastle players. Even if they had good fixture, Wilson is still there and he will take a lot of minutes from Isak. When they are both on pitch, Wilson is the central one and on penalties.

Too late, I already did Smiley

Isak is actually the number #1 starter for center forward ahead of Wilson now. Last season, it was reversed. Maybe Wilson will be sold next year in that case.



What says you about James Ward-Prowse?

I'm not too sure or convinced of Isak being Newcastle No. 1 choice center forward, Wilson still seem like favorite for that position imo, because Isak is just as good on the flank, meanwhile with Isak as center forward, Gordon playing on the left flank while Wilson is on the bench is like down grade, compared to Isak on the flank and Wilson as CF, but should Wilson be sold by Newcastle, then by all means, no one comes close to Isak as the best player for the position.


On JWP, I hate to say this, but I'd probably never have Ward-Prowse in my team except If he had been value at 4.5m or 5m so, he'd be one of my bench choices, He doesn't offer way too much imo as a midfielder in FPL, just the set pieces and gets booked way too much as well, If he were to be classified as a defender then while not, I'll surely have him because there is also the potential clean sheet possibility added to my list of expectations from him.

So, im the worst player on the pool right now,come on, i know im gonna do bad, but that bad? Only for not having Halaand and his 26 points.?

Are you gonna make me angry?, the good thing its i cant go lower, so now the way its all the way up.

I have to rib salt into your wounds man. I could only do a quick auto select, move around a few trades, and somehow FPL gave me different subs and captains... yet I still got more points than you? (subs still worked out in the end!).

I already made my first cost-free switch out (Ruben D for Ake). Going to be a bad 3/4 weeks for me but it'll be an interesting experiment anyway!

Hahaha, i accept the salt in my wounds, i deserve that, i really thing i ahve a very well team, b ut the results doesnt show this.

But i will keep with my guys, i only gonna make one transfer and i hope the luck its with me this round, and please Haland dont make me last in the bottom again.

I saw the news earlier. I will make a transfer soonest to replace him.

when on topic, saw somewhere that Salah greenlighted potential transfer to Saudi Arabia, is there a more fresh info on that from fantasy lowers

seems that early subs are not without background

nevertheless, I will probably not change my team, last season I started with changes on 1st week, and that is not good tactics, almost 100 points lost due to transfer fees, seems as Chelsea with over $1B in RL since Todd came

@all fpl participants who have KDB in their squad.
it is now certain and the belgian international and midfielder of manchester city will be out for several (3-4) months Undecided
in my case, i have already reacted and removed KDB from my squad and brought in a new player.

I saw the news earlier. I will make a transfer soonest to replace him. The reason I haven't done that since was because I am trying to pick a better replacement for KDB for Gw2. Too bad for KDB, he would have been a solid points generator. So far so good, I have eyes on Maddison, Mbeumo and Mitoma. Maddison looks like a one-match wonder plus the fact that he would be going up against man utd midfield and defense just turns me off.

Tough call to make because I really need to upp my points in Gw2.
All three are excellent picks for GW2 and here is my detail take on them.

Maddison maybe even best mid in whole game for me. Everything Spurs do is going trough him and his price is great. If Kane stayed he would be must have, now more of a personal preference. Richarlison killed several of his great assist in that first game, could have been ever more points. Could be in my squad whole season.

Mbeumo has maybe best fixtures mid term and I am really worried I don't have him in my squad. Also confirmed on penalties which helps. Only problem with him is that he is a poor finisher. Could have also ended GW1 with much more points.

Mitoma is great short term pick, 2 more games and then Brighton fixtures turn for worse. I will probably change him to Mbeumo then. I would avoid him if you have any other cover for Brighton attack. Problem is Brighton will score a lot of goals in next 2 games and Mitoma should be their attacker which plays most minutes.
