Lol. I haven't been so lucky for a long time. I was going to use a wildcard to get Darwin Núñez, but since he was sent off for 3 games, I can do it with free transfers! In addition, Diaz scored a goal!!! Not to mention the fact that Salah did not score points (joy for me since my captain is Haaland).

Random strikers to bench because I though I wouldnt need because Im putting Haaland and Ronaldo up there. Well its not really random though as I thought that he has decent chance to actually play as a starter ( probably in upcoming weeks ) and score. I should have probably keep Jesus and removed some of my expensive defender lol

Damn man, where are you getting ideas for your strikers and who the hell is Mara? From the top of my head few that should do better then what you have in all price brackets: Kane, Haaland, Jesus, Darwin, Mitrović, Toney, Wilson. If you need a striker cheaper than that better take 4.5 bench filler and invest money in midfield or defense.

Liverpool loosing once again, looks like my defensive double up on Robbo & Trent failed miserably. Probably gonna get rid of Robbo for some Chelsea defender.

I dont captained him but I have him on my lineup for two weeks already. My other striker on the bench is Sékou Mara from Southampton and he got 4 points from GW2 so Im not sure if Im going to stick around with Ronaldo for GW3 or give Mara a chance


Gotcha, I'll probably stick with this lineup for now (probably change Ramsdale to Pope on GW3) because Im very low on points and cant afford to make any other transfer or else Im going to be left behind lol. My lineup is actually decent though, probably a rough week but pretty sure Im going to get higher than the average point in the upcoming GW

I thought that no one is captaining Ronaldo, with this Manchester form, congrats man, you are a true believer

but yeah, it is a shit that we all want to adjust teams prior to new round, after first round there was a tone of discussion that Haaland is playing easy match, while Kane is sitting against Chelsea, and Kane toned, Haaland rised, but in the end, Kane scored in over(over)time against Chelsea and basically brought all to first stage
I kicked Mbuemo from my team, to get Haaland, and he scored against Manchester

basically, it is better to stick with your team for few rounds before changes, give them a chance

This is actually funny lol. Well not a moslem so I guess Im just not a faithful believer of Jesus after all, gotta start praying more often I would have 38 points from Jesus alone on GW2 if I decided not to change anything from my last lineup because I captained him. I stick with Ronaldo for two weeks and this is what I get from him huh, total of 3 points for two weeks

So ambitious of you to wish to lead every other week. You've got to give some of us a chance to taste what it feels like to lead huh, lol... I try not to think of it too much so long as I am in the top 5 but, I do hope to lead some weeks.
Speaking of misfortunes, I guess I haven't been entirely fair to myself on my choice of players to have kept on the bench. Like, I've benched G. Xhaka for GW1 and GW2 now to give J. Murphy some playing time but it's been such a wrong decision with Xhaka haven't accumulated 14points while wasting on the bench and J. Murphy have earned only 2points.
My team haven't been at its best and needs some real shuffling.

I guess it might be much needed for you, I don't plan on making any drastic changes to my team yet, perhaps just one or no changes for each game week at least until game week 8 or thereabout since I already had the first game 6 week in consideration when picking my team, my only problem now could be Leandro Trossard whom
I consider transferring out because he's not even getting 90 minutes could be begin dropping to bench in a few weeks if there's no much improvement to his game.

I decided to pull an early wildcard, wanted to make few transfers an did not want to make -8. Bailey is finished, I don't want to have anybody from united and I need some Chelsea coverage now that their fixtures turn for the beeter. Mostly fringe players in my team but could be a lot of price rises/falls which I wanted to capitalise on. And this season we have that one extra wildcard so I hope I will not regret it.

I read about Pope doing some miracles but am going to need to watch all of that stuff soon, missing out a lot, but yeah, why Pope on the bench haha.

Might actually be tempted to put United's second choice up too if they're really going to withdraw de Gea but their defence is so bad no keeper would get clean sheets... seeing them -5 on GD after 2 games is... amazing.



Great to hear haha! Yeah I thought Jesus would have a nice start and Ollie got himself 2 assists, guess MD2 saved me.

Really need to get back home, both my FPL and Pools are on old picks made way ahead of time.

I would say I only got lucky this game week, and at least it's not my first time playing. All I'm just trying to do is play the long game cards, as this game is a marathon not a sprint, and my most important rule I tend to follow is that I won't transfer in any player I don't plan on having on my team for at least the next 3-4 game weeks except for unforeseen circumstances like injuries and suspensions. That's why having/keeping been the toughest decision so far for me, because just one good game he could score 4 goals with relative ease and you have to be playing catch if all your opponents have him on their team, and if you like at the number of attempts Haaland makes per game, you'll agree it's only a matter of time.

Game week 2 is almost over, for this to turnout in the best way possible for me, I need Liverpool to concede at least a goal, although I also have TAA like most people do but some have Robertson/Alisson which make them have double the points I get in case of a Liverpool clean sheet, but Salah can score as many as freaking possible I've got everything to gain with that  



I'd be so livid if this is how my team performs after using a wildcard, at least you'd have had more points If you had stick with your game 1 team, with Jesus alone having 19 points, btw are you a Muslim ? because the name Jesus doesn't seem to be working for you, 4 mere points when captained and now 19 when subbed out  

This is yikes but this guy has higher points then me lol, both GW and total points . I know that Im bad but I definitely wont left Salah on the bench though so probably an honest mistake of forgetting to click the save changes after he changed the players (?)

---

Way below average points for me again, still have Salah and Van Djik though. Well Unless Salah ended up getting over 10 points then I guess I'll get the bare minimum for the average points.

Come on, bro. I'm currently in 3rd place, I was comfortably leading in GW1 I have 3 mfs with zero points on my team, you picked up and advanced further this week than me, now all my hope is on Salah to hit 13 tomorrow, he's my captain.

WTF! Salah is still on your team!! You are such a dangerous guy to beat, you have N. Williams on the bench with 7 points. Jeez @Harkorede, oh my God!!!

In the EPL pool, you are ahead of me. I hate you. Lol

Really, are you being serious right now. I might have a few players yet to play for the week on my team but your in the top 5 as the game goes and your doing okay to me. Like, I never knew why you picked Koulibaly on you decisively picked Koulibaly lon your team but after watching Chelsea play today, I have all that figured out. Koulibaly is more than a defender and doesn't weather as one in the games. His all out when he needs to be and falls back real good too. He's touches on the ball comes with grat confidence and when he takes a shot towards goal, you could see the power in it and the shot expresses the intent real good. I would be looking towards having him on my team next week or a few weeks from today. You good bro.

He probably reasoned that because Liverpool did not play yesterday, there was no need to start them. This is not football manager; he only went for players from the team that played on Saturday, not realizing that the pick is for the entire GW2. I'm sure he has more than £50 left to spend.


@Harkored You did an outstanding job yesterday! My game was ruined by a panic transfer.

four centrebacks in main team, Salah and TAA on the bench, yeah sounds to me like this user just forgot to 'Pick Team', they probably thought the best players would get automatically selected for the starting squad... but despite those blunders this user is close to mid table in our pool so not that bad i guess

anyhow, i really messed up my fantasy by adding Bailey, with Ollie Watkins and Buendía playing like this there's no way Gerrard is gonna start the jamaican... from being a starter in Bayer Leverkusen to becoming a benchwarmer in Villa, nice 35M signing 🙄

By the way, who owns Sudden team - "serab kicep" in the league ?, I think the person clearly doesn't know how the FPL properly works yet and should really read up an article about it, the ones listed by @icopress in the OP should surely help him out with the needed information and tips, because having Salah and Alexander-Arnold on the bench for Coutinho, Desbury-Hall and Varane or Eric Dier indicates he probably presumed he'd get points for players on the bench or they could be subbed in after the previous mentioned players are done with their fixtures.

You are doing better than you should. Mainly cause of your forwards, you have Jesus and Watkins as a captain. Some players that don't even play...time for you to check your team properly when you get back.

Need that Liverpool clean sheet to make my game week perfect while keeping Salah and all Chelsea and Spurs assets quiet 

I can't help but feel for Arallmuus to be very honest, he's got Nick Pope on the bench, and that's a 10 pointer go down the drain, why Ramsdale being his first choice had just one point, damn!

Everything seemed to be going my way for game 2, and I was literally looking to get Rodrigo in for Trossard this week, but that would have had me having to settle for Matty Cash over Nathan Ake. I think another temptation I was able to resist going for Haaland as my captain, especially for the reason I stated that Guardiola likely wouldn't have him on the pitch for the entirety of the 90 mins.

How am I doing in the league? EPL website seems way too special for my current connection, so couldn't go in. will have to hope my selections were good enough to last until Match Day 3.

I don't recall having a single United player though, but then, if anyone does, they're a sucker for pain. Sorry arallmuus heh.
