A bench boast, because I only had £4.4m and needed someone who could guarantee me 90 minutes of start time every week and Martinez was the only good option. Don't worry, he won't be here for long. Grin

He is that cheap? Did not even look at him in Fantasy but I thought he was around 5M. 4.4M bracket must be reserved for Fofana though, doesn't it? Especially for you, a Chelsea supporter. Granted Chelsea defense at the moment looks even worse than united defense. While we are on the topic Liverpool defense is also bad so we are in strange situation without much good choices.

Maybe some options from Brighton & Newcastle are worth looking at.

I added G. Jesus to my team for the first time and he dropped me 1 point. Lol

had him as well, but had Rashford from the other side as hedge, and he did a lot better
Arsenal played great against lower end opponents, but United is obviously up and coming with their form, and this season could be a lot better than previous for them (same for Arsenal last season, started with potatoes from first three matches, and fight for CL until last round)

good game IMO

I didn't watch the game because I was preoccupied with other matters, but I wasn't surprised by the scoreline; Arsenal has won their last three games by taking chances rather than being the better team; Manchester United has done the same in their last two games.

I never considered bringing Rashford into my team; it must have been a great gamble that has paid off for you given his recent performance. I only have Martinez from the Manchester United squad.

Why Martinez? He is the last defender I would pick up from United squad. Varane has more threat on corners, Dalot and Malacia have more chances to do bring you some points from open play and then to top it all off Martinez looks like penalty or yellow card waiting to happen. He compensates for lack of height and muscle with aggression.

Watched Anthony today and he was ok but forcing a bit too much. Rashford is the standout pick in United so far, he even played striker when Ronaldo came on. I also like what Erikson is doing, he is their deep lying play-maker and often the person to open counter attacks.

My game week would have been next to almost perfect, even If I had taken those 4 points hit because Kane in the end had 8 points more than Gabriel Jesus, even with the 4 points deficit, and I would have gotten much more points for the captaincy.

Thanks to Trossard for saving my Gameweek, those 10 (and incoming 2 more for bonus) points were pretty much needed

I'm not sure how I ended up captaining Salah even though he's been poor for the past three games now, when I should have gone for Halaand instead, but Pep didn't take it well with his mind games match conference, Halaand has had a lot of game time recently, and I was expecting him to play a few minutes against Aston Villa. My game in weeks 4 and 5 has been terrible; the moment you get a rip of someone, the next week they drop 10 points.

I added G. Jesus to my team for the first time and he dropped me 1 point. Lol

EDIT: And Klopp robbing all TAA believers of the 5 points, at most painful timing, 59 mins!

i got rid of Roberton a couple of weeks ago, then Salah, and now i'm thinking about replacing TAA... i knew the 9-0 was a fluke, for now it looks Liverpool are back to pre-Klopp era and imo anyone keeping more than 1 liverpool players on their is should be ready for dissapointment. Btw, Salah 2nd gw in a row where he's at the top of Transfers out players, grim

I'm actually only getting rid of Arnold simply because of budget troubles, and he's not paying much of dividends tying up that much value down, I would have been better off with Chilwell for this game week, as I suspected he was going to play and would have had him, as the back up plan.

Quote from: Harkorede on September 03, 2022, 06:42:25 AM

my actual plan was to rotate in Kane for Gabriel Jesus and Gross for Rodrigo and Arnold for a cheaper Chelsea defender, Harry Kane would have been my captain for the game week

Chelsea had clean sheet in first round, and nothing after that, this week was one to expect another clean sheet, but they conceived goal in the end, will change my keeper

i have Chelsea doubles and they're gonna face Mitrovic next week.

Salah for KDB is a not so significant different move imo, what's the essence ? other than the 0.8m difference in price, Salah is still the joint highest most point scoring midfielder in the FPL this season despite his awful form that 7 points more than KDB coming into this GW, I guess he's just being a victim of his own past success.

Agreed. He's just been so successful that it makes him look bad now, not really his fault he's been overperforming. Add to that that KdB is much more injury prone than Salah, and it's a no brainer for me.

My favorite formation is always 4-5-1 with two cheap but playing forwards as subs. This year that is not working since so many forwards are doing great and it shows on my rank.

Am I really dumb or did your post just make me realise now you can change formation on FPL heh. You talking about formation just made me see I can do that now. I really ought to spend more time reading up competitions I'm paying to play!

Mitrovic and Kane both scored in their match, that Tottenham won over Fulham, and that improved my gameweek, but it is lousy so far

Chelsea had clean sheet in first round, and nothing after that, this week was one to expect another clean sheet, but they conceived goal in the end, will change my keeper

Everton holded clean sheet, that improved my defense points

Getting rid of Salah for KDB perhaps could be a good idea next week?

If I'll be getting rid of Salah, it will be towards a change in my plan that is to get another striker upfront and you can't overlook Toney or Mitrovic or incoming Aubemeyang, so getting rid of Salah for me would be a move that will have to facilitate me upgrading my midfielder from Trossard to a supposedly better midfield option and another player upfront.

I hate going heavy on attack since forwards in FPL get so little points for goals and nothing from clean sheets. Midfielder will easily outperform striker even if he scores a couple of goals less during the season. My favorite formation is always 4-5-1 with two cheap but playing forwards as subs. This year that is not working since so many forwards are doing great and it shows on my rank.

Maybe Salah to good midfielder + my third 4.5 striker to Toney/Mitrović should be the next move I make. We shall see depending on the situation with rest of my chosen players.

Yikes having a bit of conflicting feelings about this. On one hand, I'd love if Manchester United win their next game again but I have Jesus and Martinelli on my draft lol. Oh well I guess I'll suck it up this week by getting way below average points again

Anyway, gratz to everyone that still have Haaland on the team. He scored another goal and might score another again( atleast I hope so ). I wish I have KDB on my team but he is quite expensive for a midfielder.

Me who just sold Ivan Toney... and seeing he's now got a hattrick. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly make my life in FPL harder on myself, I go and do all of that woo hoo... Marsch also just got himself sent off, typical Leeds running themselves at a wall when they're down. I bet you Toney gets at least one more goal involvement, tsk!

Oi, if you're having a bad day just remember that there are people out there who have captained Salah for six consecutive gameweeks 😂🤣

They're better off compared to me, the only week I've not captain Salah so far he had points and Haaland being my captain had 12(6) points, I literally would rid of me just if the transfer point had worked in my favor, and I'm still convinced that I'm better off with him today compared to Haaland.

but Kane, blud! I don't know man, Hattrick on the way Sad

Problem for attackers in FPL is that they get only 4 points for a goal and no points for clean sheet. Midfilders get 5 for goal and 1 point for clean sheet which makes them much more valuable. That is why Salah and De Bruyne are such good options.

Salah with 2 goals will outscore Firminho with 2 goals for a couple of points and will even get more bonus points on avarage.

Defenders get 6 points for goal and 4 points for clean sheet and that is why Trent should be in every FPL squad.

Everybody gets 3 points for assists. Now I was writing all this by memory so don't kill me if I am of by a point somewhere but I am quite sure it is all correct.

Exactly, as I always say and it's the same no matter what fantasy you get, the points are skewed towards goal contributions, which for a defender like Trent to make, or midfielders like Salah who score as often as they assist, it's an absolute craziness to put them out of your squad. And yes, I still haven't put Salah in (what the hell, right?) but I actually forgot to confirm my picks last game (wtf right?) so was a bit annoyed when I checked today but either way, least I maintained my position (13).

Praying for Arsenal to whip United.

Well it seems both Alvarez and Haaland are going to get crazy amount of points if you captain either one of them. Haaland with another Hattrick and Alvarez with two goals. Im really glad I chose Haaland at the end for the captain

Anyway it seems most of the midfield / strikers that most players have will ended up getting decent amount points though. Firmino just scored, Salah with the assist as well as both Jesus and Martinelli

I tried getting Erling Haaland on my team over the weekend but, I already brought in Kevin De Bruyne and have Walker and Cancelo on my defence already and as such, the move wasn't allowed due to too many players from a single team unfortunately but not on expected, Erling Haaland scored yet another hat-trick right from the first half of the game. Mean while, Pep saw it fit to have De Bruyne on the bench, only to come on as a substitute.
These paste few game weeks have not worked so well for me, would be doing some real adjustment soon and see what points I could get in GW6.

Oops, why not Haaland over Walker but it might not sense for this weekend btw.

I had to settle for what I feel much is less than okay imo, my actual plan was to rotate in Kane for Gabriel Jesus and Gross for Rodrigo and Arnold for a cheaper Chelsea defender, Harry Kane would have been my captain for the game week, but I just had to stick with Salah yet again, at least there is a guaranteed more game time for him than Haaland imo.

You can't really compare Salah to the rest of the players regarding fitness, he is one of those with natural fitness numbers trough the roof and he has incredible recovery. Don't you remember Salah playing 120 minutes every 3 days on AFCON coming back home and playing full 90 in the first game just a couple days later? At the same time Mane got 10 days off. He can and wants to play every game and that is why he is such great FPL asset.

Yeah I kinda remembered that but back then he was great with Liverpool. Most players that are on their prime condition wont like it when they get subbed off but things are competely currently different to Liverpool so chances that he might be rotated for the upcoming UCL? Idk though, the fantasy premier league isnt indication that Salah and Haaland will miss the next game

Ramsdale on the other hand has 75% chance of not playing, glad that I have Pope on my bench for this

Salah is at probably at the pick of his fitness level and has never been injury prone, no doubt but my perspective is coming from the fact that it's still pretty much a very long season to play for and you can't afford your best player to unnecessarily get fatigued this early into the season, If it can be avoided. Given Haaland's terrific form too, Guardiola might likely not leave him on the bench for too long, especially if they're having a tough game.

I'm at a crossroad here, I'm need 3-4 transfers to feel confident go into this Game week, I'll be fine with 3, but all I have now is 2 transfers, I really don't like the idea of spending 4 extra points for the additional transfer, and using my wildcard(which I plan on using in 3-4 GW from now) now would literally be me wasting one transfer. My pessimism wouldn't let me imagine the possibility of the supposed transfers making up for those 4 points, or me not needing those 4 points at the end of the season, while I as well don't want to get comfortable with idea of losing extra points for any transfer Undecided
