G.Jesus, 77% Most Selected Player, tons of hype ahead of his debut ... does nothing and gets subbed off
.....
you overrated useless prat

I'll give you another chance, though Wink

So everyone only got 2 points from him, and I'm glad I was part of the 23% who didn't believe the hype, just because he scored 11 goals in 5 games against farmers in preseason everyone went over the moon and started twerking for him.

he'll end up with 8-9 goals by the end of the season. Congratulations to everyone who made him captain.

Ha, I waited for you here, so you admit that mainly farmers play for Chelsea?

Almost everybody had Jesus in their team, it was the right decision and it is no coincidence that he was selected in such high numbers. First game did not work out for Jesus owners but it was much less of risk to have him than to not have him and he scores a goal or two. Same goes for Salah, it is just brave or stupid to go without him. You can't win much and you can find yourself catching up to everybody from the start. It is not a sprint it is a marathon, and every single asset will have bad game weeks during the season.

To anyone who watched the game (or didn't), take another look at the first half, Jesus had a lot of sweet moves and to be fair he should have had an assist, basically a 100% chance that was missed.

i think i'm gonna keep him for GW2, too early to start dropping players, right? plus, next game will be at the Emirates so maybe the fans and the overall atmosphere of the stadium could give him a bit more confiderence 🙏

Im one of players that ended up selecting him lol Roll Eyes

it's fine, fellow G.Jesus believers, we're gonna be fine... right?

I had Gabriel Jesus in my team as well, and I don't think he played a terrible game, the preseason games and his form there must have sent a warning signal to the Crystal Palace team and they did a decent job of keeping him at bay, especially during set pieces. Jesus made some decent run off and on the ball, but I'd only consider him a fluke by the amount chance he missed not by the number of chance he didn't get. Arsenal only control a vast majority of the game but the supply line to Jesus was nowhere near optimal, all the team had was 3 shots on goal, two of which were converted and since it wasn't supposed to be an easy fixture to begin with, so I'm still pretty sure Jesus will do just fine.

No he wont, He'd hit double digits with relative ease, provided he doesn't miss too many games.

you'd have to be a Gunners fan to do this Grin

no way a player who recently changed teams can be captain in the FPL

. He was decent though last season and with him moving to Arsenal that means he is pretty much guaranteed to start so yeah that was pretty much my reasoning, I guess I got alot to learn about selecting my squad in fantasy. Well atleast I got clean sheet on Ramsdale so its decent for me

If you added Zinchenko to your team while he was still with City (or around the time he changed teams and before FPL changed his status/new team), your team may have ended up with four players from the same team in GW1.

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/534491/event/1 (Zinchenko, White, Saka and Jesus)

Those accounts with 4 Arsenal players should automatically be forced to move one of the players out before GW2.

I've been expecting this all along. I knew he'd flop in his first game because the fans' expectations got to him; he was trying to be relevant for the entire first half, running too much behind the ball, trying to be the main man, but it backfired on him, and he only got 2 points. BTW, I'm still at zero points because I don't have a single player from either team on my GW1.

Quote from: Igebotz on August 04, 2022, 07:51:50 AM

I'm not buying the G. Jesus hype; he might as well flop in his first game and disappoint 73% of the players. Lol I'm not tweaking to his preseason performance.

It might seem like he flopped because he didn't get to come up with more than 2 points but, he didn't exactly flopped. In fact, he played good football if I'm to be true to myself just that, he was more about crating chances as opposed to scoring the goals himself which is so not what we exactly want on our team but it would have helped should he have succeeded in a few. The fan pressure was there and the Crystal Palace players was so on him, not given him much of that space to express himself but, he tried anyway. Like, he created that big chance for Martin Odegaard but the guy was still looking to assist rather than score.

Anyway, I still manage to get some pints as I've got a few Arsenal players on the team.

IMO, Ronaldo will miss this season, it is probably better for him to go to Lisbon, and play for Sporting, since he was determined to finish career there

there were some rumous about him going to Sporting a few weeks ago, but they were faaaake

Good luck to all tonight!

@icopress, how will the prizes be distributed if you don't mind me asking? A nice chunk at this point Cheesy

Let's solve it together! How about 5 prizes?

Although, in fact, I would have made more prizes so that even those who have few points would not lose interest.

If you want to keep everyone interested add one smallest prize for highest weekly score. That will actually give somewhat unfair advantage to the people that decided to drop out. It will be PITA to check who won it though. Now that I am writing it, maybe do it for highest monthly score, that is easy to check and doesn't give unfair advantage to someone who does not care about minus points from transfers.

Thanks. Looks like I am not allowed to join matchday 1. No problem, made my team for the next week. Will send the payment in a couple of days, thanks.

Don't worry at the end of the season, I will add to your total number of points as many points as the pool member who is in last place at the end of the first game week will score. (32 point / min GW1).

Note: I'll leave this here so I don't forget!

but then i remembered ten Hag's press conference when he said it was disrespectful to leave Old Trafford early while the team is playing (which is what CR7 did the other day) and how cristiano wasn't on the same level as the rest of the players cos he missed most of the preseason,, there's a hostile atmosphere in the dressing and the season hasn't even started yet Roll Eyes

drama in Manchester
where are the good old days, with Giggs and Fergusson, when everything was settled without a lot of noise

IMO, Ronaldo will miss this season, it is probably better for him to go to Lisbon, and play for Sporting, since he was determined to finish career there, not sure that they can reach CL next season, and I do not see for what he has to play in United this season

Dalot played every friendly game and he is arguably the best defender in 4.5M bracket. Can't belive I am saying this but it is the case this season Grin

Lol. Good luck to.you we shall see about that.

I don't have him in my team at the moment, but I am looking for a way to get him in instead of bench filler Neco Williams. Especially today after Conte said that Perišić and Doherty are doubtful for GW1. I have Perišić and would like to keep him since I think he will have incredible season. I need one proper bench option but don't see a way to free 0.5M.

Perisic was my call too, but he might be a rotational player especially with the premier league 5 players substitution now in place again.

We're live! I was trying to check my final team and I noticed we already hit the free transfer deadline, so it's game one buddies, this should be one hell of a ride.

We waited far too long for season, may the Odds be with us vs the sportsbooks this season.

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.

yeah, taking a big risk here,, i'm banking on Barca not activating any more levers and getting 100 million to sign silva lol

No way, I'm hoping this isn't Conte's mind game. If this is true, I would have to reshuffle my team to 3-5-2 in order to get Perisic off for GW1. I got fucked last night when Andre Gomez suffered a long-term injury and I had to replace him. I also swapped Ndidi for Kante, and I'm hoping this decision doesn't backfire on me. Last season, Kante scored more than 100 points. Is Greenwood back to the Manchester United team? The mf is on my team. I'm also 0.5 cent away from having the perfect team.
