Is Caicedo really worth that money? 110M for defensive midfielder sounds a lot. Especially when he is not even that proven.

It's actually £111m. But one thing's for sure, he's much better than Lavia from a tactical point of view (and having Mac Allister as well also helps things). People say he'll fit like a glove in our squad, which I can understand given that he's inheriting Fabinho's responsibilities.

Now all we need to do is add a backup CB, sell Nat Philips and we're good for title winning.

Oh my god we have literally signed Caicedo!

@Igeboltz you know what, you guys can take Lavia at this point. I don't mind.

Anyway, just few hours remaining and the urge to tinker with my squad is getting stronger. I just know that Salah will find way to my squad before the deadline even though it weakness several other positions. Overthinking in progress...

Got a notification from my app that I have less than 24 hours until the deadline to have my FPL team set up. I do hope to join the FPL competition before the deadline as I am more consistent in it than the other prediction pool competitions(EPL and La Liga)

Kudos to Unijoin for the sponsorship  Smiley

This is my first draft as I'm constantly fine-turning my squad in order to maximize the outcomes of GW1. My plan is to adjust my squad a bit before the deadline later today.

What are your thoughts on my selections? Please ignore my bench for now. As usual, I would appreciate any and all suggestions as this is my first FPL challenge and I know very little.  Smiley

@Hhampuz

Your midfield is mid - there is no way any of those players are scoring or assisting this weekend + Martinelli isn't staring. what are you saving your money for?

Rashford and Mitoma over Mount and Havertz

No way Pep is playing Akanji and Gvardiol together this weekend.

I have a feeling this will be a good midfield throughout the season, Akanji + Gvardiol I have high hopes for too, and I'm not a week-by-week player in this fantasy game so I just want a solid all round team that can do it's job and get points.

How sure are you about Martinelli not starting?

If you're looking for a long term midfield plan I would suggest you get any two from these names ( Rashford, Bruno, Mitoma, KDB, Saka, Salah).

Martinelli hasn't been playing well lately, and I expect Trossad to take his place now that Havertz will be playing as false 9 and even if Martinelli starts, he won't get more than 60mins. Tricky choice.

Aren't you both actually talking about two completely different players ?

Brighton's Moises Caicedo, and Southampton's Romeo Lavia, or is there something I'm not getting right here?

What are you missing? Chelsea tried to hijack Lava yesterday, now Liverpool are trying to hijack Caicedo who's already in London.

Can anyone explain how the game scheme changes? Or should I just switch from defender to midfielder and thus change 4-4-2 to 3-5-2? Due to problems with VPN (and my country being banned from accessing the site) I only use my smartphone, but I think I've checked all the options and can't find the scheme change anywhere.
You just swap your defender for mid or forward and formation adjusts automatically. You have to have 5 defenders - 5 midfielders and 3 - forwards in the club. But formation can be almost anything you want. At least 3 def, 3 mid and 1 for

Got it, thanks! But after looking at who my fifth midfielder was, I left 4 defenders (in the hope that Newcastle would not miss a single goal)  Grin In fact, it's a pity that the amount for transfers is very small, so the game is like guessing successful players and not like picking a team for each round. It seems to me that if the amount was 110-115 million, the game would be more flexible.

Sorry Liverpool fans- we are about to hijack your Southampton treasure.

Liverpool outbid Chelsea for Moises Caicedo



OK anyway, both news pieces are dubious at best so let's wait until we get some more info that confirms things.

It's like the opening game has already started and yet it's 48 hours away.

Nope Liverpool is broke , they cant outbid Chelsea. who still read from telegraph news page in 2023. Lol

David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano already confirmed Chelsea bid for Lavia. If any of these individuals tells you that your wife is in Turkey with a white guy and not in London for a business trip, you should be concerned. Contact your lawyer for divorce papers.

I don't know about Gvardiol, he's surely meant to get regular minutes from Guardiola, but being a just concluded deal of few days ago he might not get his debut tomorrow.

Martinelli is definitely a starter for that left flank and he's locked in there for Arsenal IMHO, except he picked up knock from the shield or he's out injured, Trossard and Harvertz will be the ones sharing minutes more often for the center forward role in absence of Gabriel Jesus or whenever Arteta decide to play Declan Rice further up in Midfield and have Partey as CDM. If I'm tripling up on Arsenal, you best believe I'm going with Gabriel, Saka and Martinelli for sure.

~ I can't understand - can I choose the team formation or is it always 4-4-2? I think everyone wants to play with a maximum of 3 defenders, but is it possible? I know that in some variations of Fantasy Football such flexibility is possible.

I think I will start in 3-5-2 formation this season.

What about those who didn’t pay  yet can they get the weekly prize ( the 0.001 FB)  or not
Hop to reach 30 persons in the league 🏆⚽️

Not paying now does not prevent you from winning the weekly prize as long as you pay at some point in the future, but in your situation it's difficult because this is your first time, new account with no reputation, and I'm not sure you qualify for such privilege. You must pay before playing for the first time you join.

Believe me it's going to be fun,  pay up.

 I already paid man  I’m in 💯
I Hope it be to much fun

@Hhampuz - You may want to get him off your team now. Watkins and Jackson are good cheaper alternatives.

Yeah I already did the other day, got Watkins instead and added some more flair to my midfield. I'll likely play 4-5-1 anyways so Haaland + Watkins backup is good enough IMO.
Watkins is too expensive for backup. Probably better to adjust formation or take cheaper striker for backup, maybe someone like Joao Pedro at just 5.5. Only problem with cheap 2nd striker is that you need many transfers to change him to somebody good down the line while Watkins is easy change to players like Darwin, Nkunku, Jackson....

I think I will start in 3-5-2 formation this season.

Yeah, Watkins is too excellent to be a backup, and why would you play only one striker in what will be a goal-filled weekend @Hhampuz?

Jeao Pedro is someone I'm already considering, and the fact that he'll be on PK duty ticks all the boxes for me, but there's no room for him in my 3-5-2 formation this weekend; he'll come good.


Oh no, this is aging like milk now!  Grin

I guess I will keep my replacement a secret for now.

This is not the time to keep team secret- i hid my first GW team last season, Topped the league after first GW and finished 5th after 38 GWs. Lol
