Gakpo (my favorite from Netherlands), is joining Liverpool, there is an obvious blow for Nunez with his current form)
have 4/5 midfielders scoring this round, c'mon Marcus make it perfect 5/5

should be an easy win for United tonight, somehow think that they will start to play much better now without Ronaldo

he plays on the wing? how is he a threat to Nunez position? does he play as a striker too?

He's got better finishing and can play both attacking midfielder and left wing position perfectly as those as he's most recognized position, but if the needs arises I'm very sure he'd play a CF or SS position too perfect, given how incredible his finishing ability his.

The race to win the cold wallet hardware is already over for most of us. Grin

I guess now you can see why using a chip would have been almost useless still, someone used bench boost chip and all the person got so far is 2-3 points I think, If I wanted to actually wanted to go all out for the chip my move would have been to gone for a team with defenders I'm quite sure would keep a clean sheet, but It still wouldn't have worked out, there are some things you just have no control over regardless of how prepared you are!

you are correct Chips cannot save you if your week is bad; the only meaningful chip I find important is the wirldcard; the rest of the chips are dependent on the player's performance. Is the mini-league still open? Undecided

If everything goes as planned with my current team, I'll be fighting for a top-five finish in the main league. Is there a prize for the top five?

It's still a long way to go, so there is still enough time for almost anything to happen, in the pool.

I really don't know but that's up to Trofo and others, but as far as I'm concerned and if it were up to me, I'd accept you because it doesn't make any difference, but you're aware it's a winner take all pool right ?

Looks easy so far with cozy 2:0 lead after first 45 minutes. Too make it even better both my United picks Rashford and Martial did well and got me some points, but again it seems like everyone has them. Really strange week so far, I am doing well with my team and still I am on a red arrow. I guess everybody picked perfectly and even returns from most of my assets aren't enough to climb the rank.

You killed it with Arsenal picks, well done. I decided to go without them because they have though schedule.

I'd rather see Klopp go for a typical CM as well, and Nunez will still yield a good result it's just a matter of time imo.

Premier league is not really big on giving player time or second chances. You either deliver pretty much immediately or you stay on the bench. Nunez is just lucky that Liverpool attackers are mostly injured and there really isn't a person there that could take his place. If Jota, Diez and Firminho get better and he plays like this, he will get last 10 minutes every other game to show what he can do.

I agree with you totally on this! But fortunately for him, Klopp and Liverpool doesn't have a plethora of choices for the time being, and I really think bar is already evident poor finishing touches, the pressure is already getting to him. He'll surely still get some 2-3 weeks of consistent football to prove himself.

Nunez needs to improve his conversion rate; he has the potential to be a top striker, with abilities similar to Timo Werner, such as dangerous runs, good positioning, getting the ball at the right angle, and high pressing, but he needs good feet to live up to those expectations. I agree that his performance has been hampered by a lack of competition; if there were a big competition, he would finish those chances knowing that there are other good options on the bench.

I am more interested if he will be classified as forward or midfielder. I am expecting a price in range 8M-9M, something similar to what Diez and Nunez got.

I got Nunez in my team and my reasoning before yesterday was, he will score one of the plethora of chances that fall his way. Now after the game I am thinking srew that incompetent player, he wouldn't score if they played 2 more hours. Should have kept it simple and taken Mitrović

Definitely a midfielder, imo. Both Diaz and Jota are supposed to have lengthy spell on the sideline so I think Gakpo is going to fill a lot of spaces for Klopp's idea, a perfect AM and also a left winger, so it makes perfect.

Cody Gakpo to Liverpool, here we go! The deal has been signed between the two clubs 🚨🔴 #LFC

Gakpo will travel to England in the next days to undergo medical tests and then sign the contract.

I wonder what price is FPL gonna set for Gakpo, hmm...?

With Nunez's poor finishing skills, Gakpo will be so tempting to own. The Dutchman was brilliant in the World Cup... what a transfer that is for Liverpool, damn! They struck gold with this one!

I wonder what must be going through the mind of Manchester United fans right since they spent the better part of the summer chasing this player, while Liverpool signed him without even waiting for the transfer window to be officially opened, the heart wants what it wants right ?

I thought I was having a bad day with owning Darwin, because having Kane would be downgrading from Cancelo to a cheaper option from Man City, and I don't intend to own any Arsenal player until close to their double GW, but then risks are not often equal to rewards. So I decided to imagine myself having Mitrovic with 15 points on the bench while having Nunez and Kulu in starting line up, damn! I believed while I didn't go Mitrovic was due to the uncertainty surrounding but If I were to have taking the risk with him, I'll surely have him on, and auto subbed out incase he misses out, but definitely we'll never know.

EDIT: I think Gakpo would cost no less than Anthony and no more than Kulusevski, that's between 7.5 - 8M.

seems first time this season, that I am actually happy to have Salah and VVD in my team (cannot remember better game-week for them)
Almiron added to score, and Newcastle has great defense obviously

what will Haaland do tomorrow, and will be good to see Saka scoring tonight
a lot of goals in this round, Mitrovic, Toney scoring as well

Just when i let go of Salah and VVD, they delivered a masterclass. Darwin was that one player who could have made the difference for me because his ownership is low compared to other attacking options but he decided to be what he is known for, I had two days looking for Darwin alternatives and still end up with him because I had a little faith in him, now I'm regretting not going for Kane/Martial when I had the chance. To make matters worse, Kulusevski and Darwin were denied assists; how were those assists not given to them?

Today, Harry Kane managed to score against Brinford, and I don't know if Haaland will be able to score a lot of goals against Leeds.
I have three Newcastle players in my official fantasy squad and I'm happy with the points they've got for me.
I am watching the Arsenal match, and I do not know if the result of the match will end cleanly

Last night, I thought I'd go and do everything before waking up, but lack of sleep and stomach being filled up to my throat meant that I put it off till today. Ended up waking up late and rushing to do everything else, thought I'd make it back in time but Spurs game started already.

Jesus was still in my team (haha) so he's now out and apparently TAA also ill, but I'll take my chances.

Second chance is cool, I need to sharpen my FPL prowess and it's a perfect chance to see if I can manage THIS time around! Still hoping to make it back in time to see second game, looks like Brentford is putting on some kinda show but man I feel so football starved!

I'll pass on that second chance league, it seems pointless.

I can see why FPL did it though, a large portion of their fan base stops playing the game during and after the winter holidays. If not for else, all those multi-accounts (aka cheaters) now get x2 the chance of winning weekly prizes. Lol

Anyways, tomorrow can't come soon enough! After a few drafts, i can say my team is almost set, i just need to decide between two midfielders for the last open spot...

Of course it is pointless for you, you are doing great in the main league

Second chance league is intended for those that already lost any real chances for paid positions in whatever mini league they are participating. I am still aspiring to get to the top of my mini leagues but I wanted a small side bet with a couple of people to make it more interesting in case it does not work out as I planned.

I'm trying have my team compete for the Betnomi prize for the round and I could just use my free transfer and a 3-6 points hit to get my team back to my initial desired idea ahead of GW18.

oh no!!! i guess you are going to use your triple captain too. we are all dead Grin

It's fine that you are going to pass on this one, but if you're going to focus on your current one, isn't that supposedly trying to kill two stones with one bird, if you lose the motivation to keep up with the main pool, the side pool with a lesser participant will still be worth playing until the very end, imo.

Yeah, I understand your point, but believe me, it would be boring if we only had three participants, and knowing that the other two are already ahead of me, it's like a lost game before it even started, I wish Trofo had put up this idea earlier, it would have clicked well.

The second chance was intended to save people like me; my team was in disarray prior to the World Cup, and I would have been out of the game if the second chance had not been granted. It would have been dope if they had also restored our used chips. Grin

It's better not to disclose my moves as we're all in a competition, but just so you know, I would not be playing my triple captain chip or any chip at all, not for this game week, there are many interest fixtures for the week that suggest I should triple my captain, but I'm not.
