Gabriel Jesus believers, where we at? Grin

and i made him vice captain, ffs!
anyway, i need to add De Bruyne to my squad, dude's gonna tear the PL apart with Haaland next to him

Yikes I took him out of the squad already because he wasnt playing well last week Roll Eyes

. Replaced him with Haaland though well I guess I'll call it as a future investment as I think both of them are going to stick around for most teams in fantasy.

I have Ronaldo on my team for two straight weeks and not sure if Im going to transfer him out though. I thought this could be the week that I will get decent points from Ronaldo scoring against Brentford but yikes Roll Eyes

Halaands time ended in GW1, I mean, this is the EPL and its not where they give you much freedom to express yourself on the pitch when they know how dangerous it could turn. Gabriel Jesus didn't perform so well in GW1 and that fir sure was a challenge for him in GW2 but the amazing part was, this was Leicester City they were playing against and he @G. Jesus didn't just find the net but gave 4 assist. I guess the £8.0 I bought him for finally paid off. I really wished I had made him captain or vice. My captain is yet to perform though but, am sure se good points would come off him.

So far, Kane has been the guy on my team that isn't making much impact. I would be looking to replace him after careful analysis on next game week fixtures.

I think that the people who have sold Gabriel Jesus and added Mitrovic to their squads are in a mood similar to this. Mitrovic's missing a penalty must have increased the affect of the shock as well. Cheesy

baffling. Adding bloody mitrovic to replace a Brazil NT regular like Jesus. who tf is mitrovic? 🤣

Halaaand is a failure!! I can't believe I feel inlove with him after reading so many tips and predictions, how do I explain to my kids that Manchester City scored four goals against awful Bournemouth and Halaand couldn't even assist one, if I lose first place today, please blame Halaand, I will forever regret selling Mitrovic last night to buy Halaand... Instead, why not Gabrie Jesus?

i genuinly thought i messed up by not spending the free transfer to get Haaland for this GW, expecting him to get a hat trick, glad he was a flop today

you reckon his value will go down? would like to see a 0.5 drop at least

Haaland assisted Man City's first goal. I thought you never believed in Jesus and you said he was overly hyped, but you'd have ended up with -1 point if you had stick to Mitrovic, because he didn't score and missed a penalty.

I'm not sticking to Jesus simply because he's a great player, but also because I know Arsenal would always count on him, so it's easier to always expect him to be their biggest threat to their opponents.

Oh, the broke assisted? That slipped my mind. Well, swapping Mitrovic wasn't such a bad idea, especially after missing that PK. Schar was my biggest purchase last night, and he gave me a good point

I'm getting G. Jesus after GW3, and I'm still keeping an eye on Kane until GW4..

It was just a matter of time, he played great in all the friendly matches and in GW1 when he was unlucky to get at least one assist. He could have scored 2 more goals in first half, they were much better than the chance from which he scored first goal.

Now if only Haaland could score a goal or two to make my day even better.

Jesus saves!

I knew there was no way I would be getting rid of him from my team, at least not for the foreseeable future. HI said he definitely scored loads of goals, and he's in a league of his own within the Arsenal squad, I can't imagine trading him for someone else of the same value as a forward, tbh. I can't imagine how managers who traded him out after game 1 would feel right now 😹

as of now, Fantasy is for me all about top players, having Haaland and Salah in the team was simply best choice in first round, and they will most probably get most points throughout the season

so, yeah, added Haaland to my team, with Salah

will be interesting to see how others are will play out, Mitrovic could be within top scorers as well, Kane also, although he had a shitty round against Southampton

what Vice Captain brings, did not saw that option earlier?

I think Mitrovic is more of a fluke with the performance against Liverpool, I knew he couldn't stop scoring in the Championship last season but Premier League is a different ball game, Pukki can probably attest to that fact, once he gets the attention he deserves, it's going to be up to what midfielders can provide for him, I'd still rate Ivan Toney ahead of him, at least in my own books.

I had the same thought earlier today; I'm grateful for the 13 points he gave me in GW1, but I didn't see him producing 5-6 points per match day, so I swapped him out for Halaand. I'm looking forward to a long germ gain, so having Salah, Halaand, and Kane on the team is the right thing to do because each can guarantee me a decent point per match.

Quote from: Harkorede on August 12, 2022, 03:37:03 PM

I was giving Salah the edge ahead of Haaland because of the Liverpool penalty duties, but not that Haaland seems to be on penalties duties too, I'm not so sure on who to stick with, but I'm leaning more towards Haaland just that, you never know with Guardiola, he could decide that all Haaland would get for the next game is just some ~60 minutes game time so as to keep him at the uttermost level of fitness.

Salah can score, assist, and will always play 90 mins if fit; I can't say the same for Halaand; we all know how dramatic Pep can be with his strikers. Salah will be my Captain for as long as he is on the field.

You can still make as much transfers as you want for free until the deadline. Use it well Grin

That is the beauty of the wildcard.

I did a total team overhaul to get Halaand. Lol Grin

You can still use wildcard before deadline this week and it will remove those minus points. And then make sure to do all the transfers you need.

Im totally clueless about this and it seems to activate the wildcard, I need to make a transfer so I did make one more transfer to activate it. In total I would have already spent 28 points for GW2 but Im not sure if the wildcard will affect this whole 28 points or only 4 points from the transfer that I made today so we'll see though. Roll Eyes

Rough start for me

Don't worry, when you use wildcard it takes all your transfer in that week into account. Doesn't matter if you did them before or after pressing use wildcard button.

Nah, I do have Ronaldo on my team though. Well atleast it seems Ronaldo is still staying with the club atleast for GW2 so its good for me. I made few transfer earlier today, cost me few 'transfer point' (actually 24 transfer point iirc) and I kinda wonder how do I check how many transfer point do I have? I cant seems to find how many that I have though

Those are simply points that get deducted from your score. You have one free transer and every aditional one costs 4 points.

What you did is quite bad and I would play wildcard chip in your place. I have never in my life went for more than -12 and that is only is some special situations with double game weeks.

If you play wildcard it will remove that minus points but than you can't use it again before world cup.

24 points, that's a whole lot. Like you, I am new to the game but I have devotee a little bit of my time to reading replies on this thread and asking questions offline to give me an edge. I never knew what point it would cost me exactly to make a transfer although my findings already grounded me on the ideaof point lose in transfers but, now I know. Thanks to Trofo with this piece of Information. Although, 4 points looks so much to deduct on a single transfer.

Just for clarification, hope the single transfer remains activated even if I get to move a single player back and forth so many times.

In GW1, I seem to know exactly what I was doing but, am a little confused on game GW2. I guess I'll be limiting myself to the free transfer or maybe make 1 addition if I must.

While I doubt Rashford going PSG this season, because he's definitely going to a bench warmer except Christophe Galtier is planning to revert to a 4-2-3-1, with Messi dropping to the AM/SS role. and While would Rashford even head there if he couldn't secure a starting spot at Man United.

Galtier said that he wants a forward, obviously a benchwarmer, cos PSG wants to sell Icardi, and considering both parties just had a meeting makes me think that Rashford could actually leave in this transfer window. Funny how Rashford's entourage starts moving right after the Gakpo rumours began to spread Roll Eyes

and about Danny Ward, yeah i'm glad i didn't fall for the 'buy both Leicester Gk' campaign that was going around in social media before GW1, almost pulled the trigger but i backed out at the last minute, i don't know how but i managed to buy a top-class GK while still keeping a strong team

anyway, to those users with Southampton players on their teams: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11103359/Southampton-boss-Ralph-Hasenhuttl-borrowed-time-losing-trust-players.html

It is basically useless thing, it activates in case your captain does not play a single minute. I think that happened once to me in last 5 seasons.

You usually captain very nailed asset like Salah, so even if he doesn't start he will probably get in at some point of the game. But injuries in last moments do happen so better to have that fall back option.

Yikes, so that was it. I didnt know and was simply clicking on that lol, yeah pretty much should have used the wildcard because I need to transfer alot because majority of my players were doing nothing lol. No biggie though, I think I might do few more in the future depending on how it goes so I'll make sure to use that free wildcard next

That situation with Leicester keepers is what I expected from the start. Then when you consider that Leicester is one of the worst defenses in the league...It was easy to stay away from Ward for me. Had him in my team for just a couple of hours after Schmeichel news broke.

Heartbreaking news to those 26% of FPL managers who've believed Danny Ward would be the No. 1 Goalkeeper for Leicester City this season, Leicester are on the verge of signing a new goalkeeper Alex Smithies , and depending on the nature of the deal Ward could fall down the pecking order again, but Rodgers should still keep him at the spot for a little while longer right ?
