Damn it, if Kane leaves Son looks good again at 9 valuation. I had him, replaced him, now I might have to add him again.

The free transfers end 90 minutes before the 1st game is being played, correct?

@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.

If I were the president of Bayern Munich,

...hmmm, you should've bought Randal Kolo Muani, or perhaps Haaland while he was still at Dortmund, not Sadio Mane. Smiley

Kane's not going anywhere guys, don't mind putting him in your squads. He's going to pull out one last 250, before doing a free transfer to Manchester United or something.

I thought so too- getting Mane was a bigger mistake.

Just in- Tottenham and Bayern Munich have agreed on a €100m fee deal; now it is up to the player to make a decision. Last season, Kane gave me a headache, and I want him gone.

Oh no, this is aging like milk now!  Grin

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

There are really serious news about Tottenham to have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich on Harry Kane topic. Frankly I don't think of giving any place to Tottenham players on the first 2 weeks until this thing gets clear. (The beginning fixtures aren't very good either.)

I made some purchases and now 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'm not even thinking about Kane at this point in time. If he stays, replacing Haaland with him later might be a good budget move.

The problem with Kane is that if you do pick him and he goes, it makes it really hard to go for Haaland later - which basically leaves you without a dominant striking option.

Considering that I'll almost certainly play a 451 formation, I'll start with Haaland and some fodder in the other 2 striking positions.
I'm really trying to fit Mbeumo into the team but my midfield is quite strong and all of them are playing, so I just don't see how I'm gonna do it. I do think he'll have a good season though - but not as good as my other midfield picks.

I went with Barnes as my 6,5 midfielder - makes a bit more sense.

Kane is actually my biggest problem before GW1, new Spurs are much more attacking then last year and Kane actually outscored Haaland last season if you don't count GW1. It was that close. And we all know he will play much more minutes than Haaland.

Just one more day to go, can't wait for the whole thing to start.

Hey. Thank you for the invitation. I don't have much information about fantasy. But I did some research today. I didn't know it had this many players worldwide. If you accept my making the payment next week I would be very glad.
If the person who invited you to vouch for you, then I do not mind. Who invited you?

Cls63 invited me. I guess it is because I played in a few pools. I can't ask him to be voucher for me. I will make payment until Friday.

I want to play Kane, but part of me believes he'll leave for Bayern any minute now.. decisions decisions.

After the recent €80m deal was rejected outright, I doubt Bayern would make a €100m proposal anytime soon. And Kane, with his small mind, has already notified Bayern that if he starts a game this weekend, he will not be moving anymore.

If I were the president of Bayern Munich, I would not pay €100m for a player with this mentality; his mind is in Tottenham, and he does not want to leave. Bayern is pushing but the player isn't.

Going with Jackson and Halaand for a 3-5-2 formation this weekend.

Mandatory Players

  • Haaland

I might consider dropping it to save money.. but definitely not now (not with this schedule).

Quote from: Excellent schedule

  • Alexander-Arnold

Now he plays in the center, which means that in fact we have a midfielder who will receive extra points for clean sheets.

Quote from: Acceptable schedule

  • Ødegaard

Unlike Saka, almost each of his effective actions leads to bonus points (due to which he became the player of the week three times on an equal footing with Haland). It's also a great option to rotate to Saka if Odegaard has great weeks (meaning it's statistically unlikely they'll both be double-pointed).

  • Martineli

Considering Arsenal's fixture schedule, a triple pick seems logical to me... and by picking Martineli instead of Jesus, I can save the forward spot for some budget option like Morris (one of the top scoring players in the Chimpionship will have a good schedule starting from GW 4).


  • Saliba or Gabriel

Still undecided, but Gabriel for 5 million seems like a good deal to me.

Quote from: Excellent schedule

  • Mbeumo + Raya

I guess Toney's absence makes Mbeumo the powerhouse of the whole team, and Raya is a magnet for bonus points.

Quote from: Excellent schedule

  • Mitoma + Estupiñán

Despite the fact that Estupiñán is owned by 50% of the managers, I can't lose sight of him, as the first three weeks seem to be awesome to me (after which I will seriously consider switching him or Gabriel to the defender James, Dalot or Trippier). Same with Mitoma...swap for Sterling or Madison. Temporarily putting them on the bench seems to me also an adequate solution, since week 5 should also be promising.

Quote from: Acceptable schedule

At the moment I have 16 million in the bank, and one vacancy for a linebacker and a striker. I'm leaning towards Fernandes or Foden and Nkunku (or Nicolas Jackson) but I'm still undecided as there are still many unknowns. The dilemma is that I really want to have Kane, but I don't know who to sacrifice to let him in.

I have not started shopping yet, I do not understand the doubts about Haaland - in any case, he will give a good average result. Kane is the main snag - mentally he is already out of Tottenham, but will it be formalized (I think so).

I was in your position a week ago. Then he spat on all this and decided that I would take care of the team on the last day.  Cheesy

I'm still quite far from reaching a conclusive idea about how I want to set up my team, just a question for everyone am I the only one who feels like my team almost extremely perfect as I would have wanted but there always this either 0.5m or 1m budget restriction that gets me to almost overhaul a whole of lot things from my draft, or make an extra sacrifice to get a low budget and literally unneeded player even for the bench, so I can fit in just an alternative player in the end?

I've been doing this for 5 hours straight. I've changed like 30 players already, always trying to squeeze that last 0,5 mil from the team.
Then I look at it and realize that my 9mil player ain't that good and that I can improve multiple positions if I replace him, I do it and then reassemble all over again.

I'm already regretting that I joined this pool Grin

For those new around here don't get spooked by the stuff in first sentence, you will know the lingo inside first few weeks.

Yeah, you get to feel like Johan Cruyff for the few first game through to third one, but then after, the free transfers limitation and trying to change from a type of formation have you feeling like Frank Lampard coaching Chelsea or David Moyes at Manchester United.
