this guy right here,

i added him last week with my Wildcard. Yesterday he was subbed off because of an injury and could miss the next game, great use of a Wildcard alright

well, at least i wasn't the only who got obliterated by the GW of surprises, but still, not good enough

It was just a knock and It seems Guardiola trust him more now than to pair both Stones and Dias together, and more especially the kinda goals they conceded all which were after he got subbed out, I think I'd still leave him in for the next game week, until he's fit and I'm sure Guardiola his only choosing to bench him... furthermore, at least you ended up with more points than you'd have had if you had gone for Liverpool defender or that of Chelsea.

I chose not to stick with Salah too, I know Man United defense is all shambles right now, but I hate to think that Man Utd might start to get things right and that lost to Brentford could have been the turning point.

I mean, I just had to quote myself, I could say I saw this coming from a mile away, but that still didn't stop Salah from getting a goal anyways, he saved the day for a lot of folks. With Liverpool drawing the first two first to losing to the worse team in the league after to games, isn't that some sort of trouble in paradise ?

Anyone that have stayed clear off Liverpool's defenders and Alisson would by a huge margin better off, so much for spending those shit loads of fortune on Arnold and Robertson, perhaps It's high time I ditched Robertson too at least Liverpool begin to get their shits together.

Salah's not in my team IIRC

I thought Salah was a must-have for every Liverpool fan participating in the FPL

I brought Rodrigo last week to catch price rises and left him on the bench since Chelsea is a though fixture. Yeah right, Leeds destroyed them and as I said in some other thread, they don't deserve any better while playing James as CB.

wish i had Rodrigo on my team, Leeds will face Brighton next week, could be a goal fest given the playing style of both sides

This game week was a bloodbath for me, whole defence with 0 and 1 pointers, more points on the bench than on the first 11...stuff like that.

I like no one understands you! If Manchester United also scores a goal, it will be a complete failure.

This is actually the first time that I ended with a little bit over the average points. Going back on track it seems although the gap between me and the top spot is literally double of my current point lol but hey its a small start for me with two previous weeks getting way below the average points Roll Eyes

All that while having your Chelsea picks flop, huh? I fell for them as I thought they were value buys but I guess Tuchel has other ideas about how to play talents -- think one of the Sky guys last night was talking about some managers playing Football Manager and while I think it's an overstatement, sometimes maybe they overthink.

Quote from: Harkorede on August 21, 2022, 04:53:48 PM

I think, I'll take Haaland scoring just a goal over going blank any day, He really could have scored a whole more today to be honest, from hitting the woodwork after a stunning save from Pope, and then to De Bruyne and Foden not being to find him about a few yards away from them with what could have been to easy tap ins. Not an extraordinary game week for me so far, but I'm good with having almost twice the average for the week, while still having and Salah for Liverpool later tomorrow. I wouldn't mind Salah going blank or at least not scoring more points than Haaland for this week.

I know I've only started watching a couple of games from this season so I could be making rash judgments but seeing Haaland and Nunez, they're strong and tall strikers, but seem less exciting to watch than say... even Wilson who I thought made great movements. I know Pep and Klopp probably getting tired of not-so-good finishing and want to try convert more of the incredible chances both teams create but the rest of the league is now focusing on creating fewer chances but higher quality, from what little I watched.

I have 3 and two of them ended up with 1 point while the other one ended up with 2 points. 41 Points in total for me right now (couple of Liverpool's players left) with 3 Chelsea player flopping, it could have been easy win for Chelsea though and we'll have decent points from the players dang

I really don't want to provoke lady luck by having the first laugh on Chelsea because I really don't want any upset for City too, with Haaland being my captain. I was really getting pissed by thinking Chelsea would keep Rodrigo harmless but then he's just something else, however Trossard scoring still made it somewhat fair enough that I kept my transfer, it would have been worth it to get Rodrigo though, I just might do that before the week price gets updated too if there are thousands of transfers in for him.

I'm saving my it's Haaland O'clock draft... I hope it doesn't go to waste 🤞

Poor Hammers too... not scored a goal this season yet. At least United got another team to score a goal for them =D

Quote from: tomahawk9 on August 21, 2022, 08:04:19 AM

Liverpool needs to show up tomorrow. Not just for my fantasy team but they really need to capitalize on Man Utd's poor form. No excuses, no "we had some injured players" or "it's a slow start for us", Man Utd are crap relegation fodder and liverpool should win this comfortably... Salah hat-trick and TAA with double assists incoming Cool

Salah's not in my team IIRC (too expensive or something can't recall) but I might re-add him in if I get to shuffle, but will have to wait for Tues/Wedn when I get back in my seat. TAA string of assists + a goal though? I'd never complain against that and really, the way United been staring at headlights since last season, he won't find better games nor motivation than this one.

Might be too late to catch up with you FPL bastards too...

The FPL leader tripled Captain Odegaard and got over 40 points on him. Those guys didn't are not real.

Season's just started. We'll be there soon. No worries

Quote from: Harkorede on August 20, 2022, 06:12:05 PM

That what I said about this being a marathon and not a sprint, I wouldn't bring any player just a for temporary basis, I surely would have felt it's worth keeping over the next few weeks, and It really sucks for anyone to have had Odegaard just to get him out at the wrong time, but I still wouldn't consider him a smart buy for a long time

rookie mistake from my part, i just didn't want to waste the wildcard to transfer out 2 players :/ but at least i did this with Odegaard and not with G.Jesus a couple weeks ago when i called him a useless prat after the Palace game Grin

patience is key !!! I Captain Kane! I was about to swap Kane for Jesus when I noticed the number of managers holding G. Jesus!!

after having all discussions about Kane and Haaland swap after round 1, Kane scored in both rounds, and Haaland missed last round, will be interesting what he will do today

but, patience is a key, if you do believe in your players, and not just in hype, I changed before GW2, but did not change anything before GW3, hopefully with Zaha, Mitrovic, Kane scoring my score will be above average, first time this season, depend on Salah against United, but he will influence all averages

Lol, that was my quote, not Tomahawk9's, you should edit your quote, you're given out my shine. Grin

TBW If Halaand goes blank today, I'm going to sell him and get G. Jesus! I wasn't impressed with Halaand's performance in the previous game, and I'm hoping he can prove me wrong today. Patience is essential; my defense will remain for a long time unless injuries occur; however, my midfield and attack remain major issues. I want a front with Halaand, Jesus, and Kane, but how can I do that without getting rid of either KDB or Salah? ( both untouchable)

I had Mitrovic in GW1, but he's not a long-term project for me, so I let him go.

Actually I was thinking about making the change between Odegaard and Martinelli. However I decided to give one last chance to the Norwegian star. And he also made me smile. I think Odegaard is really similar to Mesut Özil in terms of playing style. However he still has a long way to go. Despite all this, I can still change him with Martinelli if his value becomes 6.5 m again this week. Roll Eyes

Gameweek 2 - Odegaard plays awful and gets 2 pts

use wildcard ahead of Gameweek 3 and replace Odegaard (and a few other players). His replacement is a Brentford player who got 6 pts and 8 pts in the past two gameweeks.

patience is key !!! I Captain Kane! I was about to swap Kane for Jesus when I noticed the number of managers holding G. Jesus!! 80% is a fucking number, I decided to defy it! I can't wait to see him flop. I sold Perisic last week, and he earned a lot of points today, but I don't regret it, Schar is batter option

i read somewhere that 80% is the highest amount reached in the history FPL, not sure if true but if it is that's crazy. So glad i joined the hype train before the start of the season

I mean you have to spend your own transfer. either free one or pay for it -4, just like any other transfer you decide to do.

I've already gotten rid of him! I still have Tanganga, who is probably going to AC Milan or something. I'm not sure how I got myself into this mess.

Quote from: Trofo on August 19, 2022, 04:56:33 PM

Chelsea attack is really though to pick through, there isn't anybody worth the price tag. That is why James is such a good option, he gets us clean sheet points and still looks like one of most dangerous attacking players in the club. I just hope he will play WB in most games and not CB like in the last one until minute 60.

RLC was used at LWB and performed admirably; I believe he will continue to play in the same position against Leeds United. James will play deep in between the lines; I'm not expecting a goal from him, but rather a clean sheet.

Quote from: Trofo on August 19, 2022, 04:56:33 PM

Milner will play a lot but you can't expect him to get you too much points. I guess he is not on penalties any more and he doesn't even have free kick or corners. It seems to me best you can hope for is some assist every few games. But what do I know, I bashed Odegard the other day and he scored heaps of points today, better to be quiet and not provoke lady luck.

Milner is still the first choice PK taker, and he also plays the corner with Trent. BTW, he's not a long-term project; I'll get rid of him when Nunez, Firmino, and Jota return from injury; he's on a two-week loan. Cheesy

If you're having a bad day, keep in mind that I had Perisic on my team from GW1 to GW2, then let him go only for him to drop a 13 in GW3. The FPL leader tripled Captain Odegaard and got over 40 points on him. Those guys didn't are not real.

Did you gave captain armband to Jesus? I have a fun fact for you, due to extremely high ownership (over 80%) and high captaincy rate on Jesus (41.28%) and even 1% of triple captains on Jesus, math works out in a way that if you just had him in a team (not captain) you are actually better off if he doesn't get any points

Nope not a captain, gave the captain armband to Haaland and hoping that he will score against Newcastle. Well I got 3 Arsenal players on my squad, Ramsdale and Martinelli ended up with 6 points and Jesus only ended up with 4 points which could have been 5 if it wasnt for the yellow card. Interesting facts you got there, how do I check on percentage numbers like that though for some other players?

Just google stuff like that, there is tons of fantasy materials and statistics out there in the open for free. There is couple of paid sites as well but I never tried those. Seems like a bit of overkill to me since they do all the math for you and you basically end up playing the game just by xG and xA. I prefer to watch the games and pick players that I like.

Above stats are taken from below linked and one other site I don't have bookmarked:

All I need from Guardiola is just to let him have the complete 90 minutes on the pitch, I'm sure Haaland will sort the rest out.
