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.

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

I absolutely agree with Trofo! In addition, you will not only save your points, but you will be able to edit your team until Saturday.

Note: FPL has gifted each manager unlimited transfers between GW16 and GW17 in a bid to help them work through the disruptive World Cup schedule. Therefore, there will be four moments during the season – excluding the Free Hit - when managers can make unlimited transfers.

Pre-season (before GW1)
First Wildcard (between GW2 and GW16)
World Cup Wildcard (before GW17)
Final Wildcard (between GW18 and GW38)

Note: Managers are given a free transfer every week to help manage their squad. If they choose not to make one, the transfer rolls over into the next week. The maximum number of free transfers a manager can hold at any one time is two, unless a Free Hit or Wildcard has been played.

you guys added him to your team? surely not right? Grin

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

Like me, not used to playing this kind of game, and I even put one Arsenal player on the bench in GW1 and it didn't count the points, but that seems to be the only problem I'm having in GW1. Also, the mistake in the selection of players at the start made it look like I didn't have a good chance for the next week, because there was no chance to make a re-transfer like in the beginning. Indeed, there is still a chance to use Wildcards and Free Hits but I think it would be better to use them later if it can only be used once or maybe it can be used multiple times, but it's useless if there are points that will also be deducted from the transfers made. But just now, I've only used 1 free transfer and of course it's quite helpful if it's available every week.

If you have a lot of problems with your squad, wildcard even this early is good option. You will have another one in second half of the season, and this season even one free wildcard after world cup.

I have been using wildcards quite early in some seasons and often after gameweek 5. No point holding it off too long if you need to make let us say at least 5 transfers.

Using an early wildcard this season would be very reasonable, given the fact there will be unlimited transfer during the World Cup break, so it makes much sense to project the team towards the World Cup break.

Yeah, I quite agree it might be better to have a low budget goalkeeper because at the end of the season the difference between the best goalkeeper and the 6th placed goalkeeper might not even be up to 20-30 points, however, it all depends on the team structure, when someone choose to go for a couple of top valuable midfielder and a couple of premium forward players as well, so instead of not being able to afford another expensive Liverpool outfield player which may cost nothing than 7m or having to give up a Liverpool spot, you can go for Allison which is just 5.5m. It's all just about the team structure.

Alright, Im doing it way wrong for the GW1 and lets see if I can atleast get over the average points for GW2. Its all just make sense though, why would I even spend my budget on all those sub players. I thought I had to get exactly 100 or close to that therefore I was tweaking abit of my lineup which ended up with most of them getting 1-2 points for me Roll Eyes

decent choice, he is imo Saints' best player. But I ended up going with Bernardo Silva, saw him at 7.0 and thought it was

B.Silva's future at Manchester City is in doubt as Barcelona is expected to make a bid at any time, so I doubt he would start, but he is still a good buy at 7.0.

I saw it coming. I'm not sure what's going on with Pep and his players; they appear to be losing interest in the club, despite the fact that they are playing the most attractive football and have made more progress than any other top side in the Champions League; I'm still puzzled as to why B.Silva would choose a club that is struggling to register players. UEFA should look into Barcelona's transfer dealings because they are breaking old player contracts in order to reduce wages while still buying players. It's insane.

Well to those we have B.Silva in their team you have to get rid of him now, I warned y'all last week.

how likely is it that a CB like Thiago Silva will get you more points than a fullback who's able to provide assists and even score more goals than a cb? Wink

also, if your sub GK isn't 4.0 you're doing something wrong, subs should be super cheap nobodies

Then I'm differently doing something wrong as all my benchwarmers are 4.5-5.0. Lol Grin

this is the lesson that I learned last season, had all players on bench between 5.0 and 6.0, that is taking more/less 5-6 millions from team budget
now I have all bottom players on bench, they are benched in real life as well

Kane brought my team down in first round, but decided to let him stay in second round, Chelsea is good opponent, but I think that Spurs will be better than Chelsea this season, and could even win over the weekend, and Kane knows to score in city derbies

It is likely that by the end of the week its price will drop (40,000 more transfers are needed for this to happen).

Premium keeper is an ok option if that is the way somebody wants to go. I went sort of premium this season and took Ramsdale since Arsenal has great fixtures.

The problem is not price it is free slots from that team. Liverpool has numerous great players to take and I can't justify taking their keeper. Let's assume we all have Salah and Trent. Robertson, Dias & Nunez would all find their way in my team before Alisson.

What a shitty week indeed, especially with the Gabriel Jesus as captain pick, but it could have gone your way too. but I'm curios, If Ramsdale was your bench keeper then who is the starting keeper ? except you're got another starting keeper like Ward at 4.0m, what's the reason for having 2 starting goalkeepers and spending a little extra of budget that could come handy for getting other players.

I was barely above the average of the week with 65 points too, but I don't think it was a terrible week in general.

Holy heck, this is actually making sense now and I was a dumb fuck I guess Roll Eyes

. Why would I even need two starting keepers because one is going to be a sub. So anyway, the other one was Allison as I thought Liverpool would keep the cleansheet record against Fulham. Alright lesson learned I guess, so this is going to save me some extra budget for the next one

Yes, I know, but everything is playable, right? As you mentioned, using triple captain in a double game week does not always work out because some key players are likely to be injured or dropped for the second game, especially when there are champions league games.

My marathon coach advised me to start slowly and finish on the last lap when others who started fast dropped out, but this never worked because those who were already far ahead always kept going forward. When you have the opportunity, it is always best to begin with a far gab.

Don't think that strategy works with PL but be my guest and use bench boost next week as well Grin

For me FPL is a game of probabilities, it is not granted that it will work better, but odds that your player will pick more points in 2 games than in one game are much better for sure.

Same with transfers, I will never go for defensive midfielder even though they will have an odd great haul like Jorginho this GW. But that is the beauty of the game, we all have our own ideas and we will see whoose was better in the end.

Starting very great early could really be helpful and all, Especially in a relatively small pool, so when the drought comes around one will have something bank on.

I had quite a number of let down too, but my team wasn't just about game week 1, I think I put the first 8 weeks into consideration for my picks.

Getting 13 points for for triple captain isn't so bad after all, even though it's much better to be used in a double game week because of the chances.

my best ever point in a single GW. Two broke on my team gave me double zero. So pained

Yeah you did well but you used tripple captain in first game week which is not that good. That is chip best used in double game weeks when players have 2 games. Not that it works every time but last season it worked perfectly with Salah against Leeds amd Notwich. It doesn't get better than that.

Couple of seasons ago I gave it to Aguero, and he got injured in first 20 minutes of first game and got 1 point.

Swapping Kane for Haaland ahead of game 2 is an easy decision to make, but deciding to go for Haaland or Salah as game week 2 captain might be the tougher decision to make, especially knowing that Man City are playing Bournemouth next, while Liverpool would welcome Crystal Palace.

If I had followed your advice, I could have gone 100+, but I believe Kane will have a better game week in the coming weeks. He scored over 200 points last season, and I'm not going to let him go. My only regret was swapping Kulusevski for Mahrez two days before the game.
