Man City with their first goal under 20 minutes and it's come from Haaland, now we've got to spend the rest of an entire 70 minutes ball watching and hoping he doesn't do anything more, right, what a pathetic hope to have with this Chelsea disastrous display defensively
What a starting disaster like i was thinking about i do like shit in this games hahaha.
I have to refurbish the whole team it seems. And start climbing positions.
All went bad, i dont took Salah because of the last season and also because of how much he cost and i went with Luis Diaz and fuck, Salah made all and Luis nothing. Bruno missing two clearly goals and so on.

Yes, I understand how it works. But if you want to beat the crowd in one move (and not go along with everyone else and hope for randomness) then betting against Haaland/Salah is the right choice. Because if the bet wins you will be higher than everyone else who bet on them. In this sense, betting on them and betting against them are very similar. The risk/reward ratio is the same. You can say that those who bet on them play with odds of 1.1 and those who bet against them 5.0 haha. The only imbalance that may distort the balance in this scheme is the bonus points for captaincy. Something to think about here.
That is not actually true. I hate it when people are talking about differential captains like it gets you extra points. You don't get anything by it, there is no bonus points for bravery. Those things should be considered when we pass GW35 and you have to catch up with the leader. Until then just pick whoever you think will get you most points.Anything that can go wrong will go wrong 
The joy of the FPL season start lasted half a day ...Murphy substituted at 30'
Quansah substituted at 45'
Backup goalie (Turner) on bench
Backup defenseman (Barco) on bench
I have them all on my team.
I had Quansah very close to entering my team and Murphy was in it at one point.
On the other hand full game for Rogers, that looks promising.
Salah captains working well, I couldn't go there but I was choosing between Saka and Isak and picked wrong. Ah well, Haaland next week should be inevitable.
icopress, a good start for us both. I have a really nice week and was sure I'd be ahead of you only to see that we both captained Salah and have Haaland as well.
Garnacho's sitter and Quansah's CS could have helped us, but only against others.
I think I'm winning this round, but it will be by a small margin. Congrats, a nice team in the end - although I felt Barco might be risky. 25% of people have him, he'll probably be transferred out a lot. There are plenty of 4mil defenders that will be playing.

Can’t say I wasn’t intimated by the M. Salah captaincy, getting an assist and a goal, it wasn’t bad at all. Reaping off him in the very first week, that was good though. Only thing is, you’re down to 2 man for points.
Havertz is one player that might do very well this season. I had a hunch on him but, still chose to keep him at bay until he shows some consistency.
That Schar red card was too easy to be honest, with a man down for Newcastle I didn't see a way out for the boys especially since they were considered favorites of the game..but to get a goal right before the break halftime thanks to an Isak assist to setup Joeelinton for the goal I will take it..my only worry is if they choose to defend and fallback to protect what they have 
Fingers crossed for an insurance goal from probably Isak to get an insurance goal 
let's go Newcastle 2nd half is about to start.

Oh Ye Salah slanderers and doubters, how are you all faring

Captain fantastic
A goal and an assist for Salah! The only way for any other captain to top him will be a brace, or a brace and an assist, or a hattrick, or even a goal and several assists.!Captain fantastic
first game for Arsenal, we hope it starts with a win and a clean sheet. Arteta needs to start with a good record, like ETH and Slot.
What happened to Quansah man? Injury or what I don't understand that sub.
I had him on my team, but it was lucky for me to keep him on the bench. No injury, just a tactical sub from the coach, no cause for alarm yet, until it becomes a trend after few weeks then you can revisit the decision
I have to admit I laughed at myself when I saw him substituted on 46 minutes (considering he had done quite well in the first half). I'll give him another chance. If he doesn't start next week or is substituted before 61 minutes, I'll have to say goodbye to him.By the way, before the match I was calm, because during the pre-season training he was substituted after 61 minutes in all matches (which is quite good considering his price and the possibility of getting a clean sheet).

What happened to Quansah man? Injury or what I don't understand that sub. Salah and Jota owners enjoy while it last. I'm so jealous

I thought Barco was going to be a nailed starter for Brighton, Lol! smh.

He was getting outfoxed by Liam Delap so Slot hooked him off for Konate who was better at dealing with him.
I'm not mad, I'm happy that Trent is now on 9 points including BPS. My 8th attacker, if you can call him that. Although at least a third of this league already had him so other players need to return too.

Just wait till tomorrow, you'll see a new bandwagon on FPL website as usual most transferred players in, Salah and Jota would for sure be amongst them
The game could really have gone south or a different path, if the Ipswich penalty call had stood and got converted.

You're probably right about stability, but I've chosen a more balanced squad at the moment, hopefully three cheaper players will bring in a similar amount of points than Haaland + Salah + just a slot player for 4 million. However, if Haaland and Salah will score points + captain's bonuses, then my strategy will be wrong.
Captain band is why we pay premium for Salah and Haaland. there isn't a player in the game that will deliver with that kind of consistency. Yes balanced squad will score maybe even more points over 10GWs but you will loose on captains. You have to pick one every GW and chances that you will pick wrong are much higher.Also FOMO, imagine following, Haaland scores a brace against Chelsea and Ipswich looses 4:0 against Liverpool in a game where Nunez could have scored 3 more goals in last 20 minutes he got. Next GW, Haaland plays against Ipswich at home and everyone is captaining him. How do you feel? And he is so expensive that you probably need 3 transfers to bring him in.

When i saw the lineup and didnt see Garnacho in the starting lineup was really shocked. First round and already a player gets benched was wierd for me. Could have been epic if he scored the goal but sadly that didnt happen. This start could have been really good but what can you do,the season is still really long. I can already see Zirkzee in the first 11 but cant say that for Garnacho honestly.
I want to believe he was rested for some reasons best known to the Manager, he's been the club best attacker since last season and deserve to always start.
And Yes while you're focus on 38 GWs there are managers playing for weekly and monthly prizes. This dude triple captain Zirkzee. FPL is for everyone
That Garnacho miss will already hunt me in the first match of the fantasy pool. Im still shocked that someone can miss an empty net on 1-0 on such a big level of football. Really a shame plus Bruno with so many missed opportunties its a shame
Bruno up front? Idk about that one chief, glad I dodged that bullet (had him on my team right until an hour before deadline)
You didn't come back to say thank you on the Garnacho tip hahaha he almost gave you a perfect start, was very close. He needs to start next game ahead of either Admad or Rashford ( those two are pricks)
Fernandez looks more sharp and dangerous up front, he's going to cook more points for us, I can feel it in my balls.
I hope we don't have any Alts bastards among us this season.
