Btw, I sold Havertz (even though he rotates perfectly with Joao Pedro or Mitoma).

That's probably going to come back to haunt you later - Havertz is on track to be one of the highest-scoring FWD's in the game.

You will probably be fine for now but if you do not start banking free transfers then the run of injuries later in the season is going to kill your rank.

Meh.

Thank god I'm not alone @icopress. But now I've put myself in a similar position as before GW1, so many choices with such a limited budget.. Haaland or no Haaland is the eternal question. You can get quite the midfield and defensive lineup if you don't get him but the upcoming fixtures are looking juicy.. decisions decisions.

Man, I did it 2 days ago Cheesy

And I still don't consider myself a fool.. (of course, if I don't decide to buy Quansah for 4.3).

I'm also waiting for Solanke at 7.4, and Watkins at 8.9.

I want to sign Madueke and Palmer by getting rid of fake Jota. I can't believe I have made this many stupid mistakes this year after finishing the previous season in the 2nd position. I'm still so lucky that we are just starting the season and I have a lot of time to compensate these.

How did the fake Jota( Jota Silva) cost £6.0m ?? He's nothing but a 4.5-5.0m player at best. Who is he BTW? Didn't hear anything about him last season - a new player?

I think the common thing we all have here is that no one knows a thing or seems to have heard about this dude even till he’s not a person of interest.

I don’t think he’s got any FPL points so far yet either, I wonder how a player that FPL valued for 6.0m has not gotten any playing minute in a Nottingham Forest squad and he’s not out injured or anything.

The brother had an amazing season with Vitoria last season scoring 15 goals before moving to Nottingham forest this summer, now I see where the hype is coming from and also the reason he's not getting enough playing time is the clause in his contract ( play 15 matches and Vitoria SC will receive £3m more. Just speculating..... Grin

We have a wage max cap of $200k/week, yet none of these players make more than $150k/week.

Maybe if you're talking about new players that you have signed. Lukaku is on a huge salary, so is Sterling. I'd assume at least Chilwell and James are over 200k as well.

If a player is on 100k per week, you have to sell him for 50-60 mil to have a small profit after all the agent fees are calculated. Maybe the crazy inflation in player valuations will work in your favor, but I expect most of these players to lose value due to the lack of game time and clear career progression path.

Yes Lukaku, Sterling, Chilwell and James are all on the old wage structure and are all leaving this summer except for James. When players are on low wages it's easier to sell for profit than when they're on a higher wages ( reasons why Arsenal and Manutd can't sell for profit).

Those who are not part of us are going on loan to Strasbourg or send elsewhere for first team football. ( Clubs are literally all over us to loan our players). The whole project seems to be progressing quite well IMO. Our books are balanced and our Net spend is good too.

Problem is you end up with 50 players on long term contracts, many of them not really wanting to move on. Still think it will backfire spectacularly but maybe with couple more gems like Palmer they can make it feasible.

FFP is a joke anyway. hopefully something will change soon. Beginning with kicking City few leagues down, that would make several clubs think about their future moves.

I really don't know if Chelsea's antics will be sustainable over the long period even when you find rare gems like that of Cole Palmer in every 13th-15th signing, the problem will become stuck with players wages and them not even leaving, it becomes your obligation to pay them over those years or buy their contracts out, because at that points some of these players might have even given up their career and thinking of the bag more since the best age is getting past them really fast.

Trofo you're right - Palmer and Enzo are on 9-year contracts with exceptionally low salaries and signing fees spread over 6-7 years; additional benefit is that contract extensions are awarded based on player and team performance (Palmer was awarded a few weeks ago for his efforts last season). We have a wage max cap of $200k/week, yet none of these players make more than $150k/week.

We know how to sell players at a good value so moving a flop is never our problem.

So they'll only be leaving the club and agreeing personal terms with a new employer if the pay/benefit is better. That's why you have guys like Sterling not even being talked about or approached by other clubs, I mean not because he's a terrible player or can not perform some good standards anymore, but his wages demands are going to be the neck breaker and scare almost any club away even if he's to be signed as a free agent.

Edit: No, that is actually a terrible idea. Your club is trying to sign Toney from Brentford so Jackson would almost surely get benched too. Avoid! ^{Also does your club have a money printer or something? ^{How do you guys even avoid FFP?}}

They signed all those players on incredibly long contracts, 6 years is usual and some have even 9 years i think? Ige will correct me for sure.

Anyway when you buy the player, his price gets split over contract years, so you buy mediocre player for 60M and give him 6 years contract, you get 10M expenditure for that year.

Congrats Rruchiman and the rest of y’all winners. You’re sure Comingoutthistime!!! as your username for tells. Last season, you sank right to the bottom like am doing now but, your top of the league now, that’s surprising although, it’s just GW2 with a lot of points ahead to be contested.

Thank you so much, and like I said before, It is a marathon, not a sprint. There are still a lot of game weeks, and within those weeks a lot of things can happen, especially unexpected. @Smartvirus, you could be in the top 8 at the end of the season.

I did not hurriedly take Nkunku out even with the danger of the price drop; I will be patient until their conference league qualification game against Servette to see if Enzo will have him start again for Chelsea. If he starts, I will then be pretty sure he will not play by the weekend.

I'm definitely going to switch Pedro to Jackson as soon as the transfer market closes and there are no incomings; he was my huge differential last season while others went for Watkins, and I was riding along with Jackson for fun. We've got some fantastic additions, so the goals will come.

Wouldn't it make more sense for you to grab Solanke right now when he comes back and inevitably gets a couple of multi-week returns, before you dump him for Jackson?

Assuming you don't have him of course.

Edit: No, that is actually a terrible idea. Your club is trying to sign Toney from Brentford so Jackson would almost surely get benched too. Avoid! ^{Also does your club have a money printer or something? ^{How do you guys even avoid FFP?}}

With the big team Chelsea has, which Chelsea player do you think has a guaranteed spot under Maresca?

We have only 25 registered players like other teams, Enzo is a tactical coach and approaches each game differently but there are players with permanent spots and you should know them. Cheesy

Quote from: Trofo on August 27, 2024, 01:02:42 AM

Palmer is only one safe for minutes there but his price reflects that. Maybe Jackson if he starts converting some chances.

Writing new post so that tag works. Sorry for that.

So I checked up with Hhampuz and Rollbit and they have kindly agreed to pay out all the rewards. Otherwise it would have been only Rruchi man
Winners are:
Rruchi man
SH H (I don't know who this is), team name Concrete Utopia 53
Joca97

All with 94 points, all with TC chip on Haaland.

Still looking out for a way to turn things around for my team, this isn’t the start I anticipated. Isak and Watkins are flopping on with funds I should have spent on Haaland.

Is there anyone who is thinking of adding Palmer to their squad?

Still need to see more from Chelsea. They were great in 1 game, but 3 assists in 15 minutes to the same player? I cannot understand that a PL team allowed that.
I hate Jackson, he's a poor man's Nunez, but looks like a good asset to take if you want to take advantage of Chelsea's good schedule a bit cheaper. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually considering to take him.

I got him since start and i think he will do better and better. But the next round is really hard and i think low amount of points will be seen. I think its early to use a free hit for this round . Manueke looks good from Chelsea

I don't really rate Madueke despite his 3 goals, there is so much competition on the wings for Chelsea and people already forgot he didn't even play GW1 and he even dropped in price before GW2. Also he scored 3 indentical goals, all from same position. I think this was more a measure of Wolwes defense than Chelsea attack.

Palmer is only one safe for minutes there but his price reflects that. Maybe Jackson if he starts converting some chances.

Really generous from Rollbit to pay everyone out.
According to fplgameweek it was Rruchi man who won the gameweek like Trofo already mentioned.
Glad that Haaland was able to score a Hattrick read on fpl reddit that double gameweeks will be very rare so the decision to apply Triple (C) was not difficult.
