I became happy when I saw my name here. However I wasn't expecting to see buwaytress here at all lol. One of the names seen above tried to trick me into making a side bet with a 50-point handicap. However thankfully I didn't fall into that trap.   I'm still feeling myself stupid for not adding Palmer to my team. However I couldn't manage to create a place for him.


You can't see anyone's squad before the matchday. This is quite fair as well. For example, otherwise the player who enters the last week as the leader would copy the squad of the player in the 2nd place.

Wow, I feel honoured to be mentioned in the same breath as Trofo, CLS and frka. Balanced I'm not sure, my entire bench are just hopefuls, but yeah I see cryptofrka also loved Jota and Salah together AND we both gave up on a non-Haaland squad. I had Quansah in my team last season and I'm reading like he's playing instead of Ibou but I don't trust that.

Is there a way to share a link to see each other's team before matchday? Or it's just the screenshot?


If there's one thing I learnt from last season, it's not to do FPL on final day or even last few hours. That screwed me constantly for EURO!

Be thankful TAA is not labeled as midfielder =D

Well seeing your teams mine looks like shit or looks like a team to fight for relegation 

Worst of all was when i want to change some thing before deadline the fantasy goes into mainteinance and my team was stuck in the middle of the changes.....

One thing to change for the Fantasy in the future is the ammount of players labeled as midfielders, i know doing that they make the game more dificult, but is insane the ammoun of fowards lab eled as midfielders by this game. Only number "9" are forwards for this game.

I will look at the teams of each of the pool members. At the moment... (in my opinion) I am afraid of such members as Cls63, Harkorede, Igebotz, Moz7z, buwaytress, NotATether, Trofo, elche, CryptoFrka. I think your teams are very balanced and dangerous. Let's see how the week ends.  

If Klopp were still in charge I’d agree that there is no point taking Salah, but right I think Salah is the only player that can guarantee consistent 90 minutes with good run of fixtures too, I’m expecting a vintage Salah this season. Most of the premium are either having a lot of changes around them and worth it imo, I wouldn’t get Haaland right now if there is series of 90 minutes for De Bruyne even If I don’t have KDB, Haaland doesn’t influence games at all when he doesn’t score, Cole Palmer now have serious points sharing contenders and to price at that coming with no so great fixture. Son have had problems with a lot of tweaks in and out of the Spurs set up, we’ve Richarlison, Werner, Kulu, Brennan Johnson all give a little of spark then everything becomes a shit show again, Maddison would have been better if he was differential or could be worth a punt after seeing him for the first few games, except I plan on wildcard around game 5-6, I have no reason to have Palmer and Maddison or Son, if there is a perceived consistency in the first few weeks, I could easily bring one in for another.

Agreed if you're looking long-term. Short-term he's a great option because he's a guaranteed starter and LFC has a great opening schedule.
Saka has tough games, Foden won't be playing the first few games, Palmer is way too expensive this season, Son is decent but I want to see how him and Maddison play around Solanke now.

Salah is really expensive but offers stability, especially during times in which there is value to be found in relatively cheap mids like Doku, Garnacho, Jota and many more. Nkunku is a steal, but I'll take him a bit later.

EDIT: here's my team BTW:

Wow, Salah + Haaland in 1 team. Looks pretty expensive. I didn't have enough money for any of them (I don't see any point in taking Salah at all, I think he's overrated, 12.5 million is not serious). As I understand it, the main point of this strategy is to all-in on several players? Is Haaland the captain?
By the way, yes, I'm participating again, although managing fantasy is more time-consuming than making regular predictions.

Salah has been my achilles heel a lot of times but I still couldn't see past him for this round to be honest, I would have gone for Haaland regardless they play Chelsea or not, but I really can't afford Haaland right still have the best combination I want defensively, I had Quansah, TAA and Salah from Liverpool initially but I switched to TAA, Jota and Salah in the final moments, I guess the first few weeks would determine where I'd stand with TAA, and If I should drop him at any point, that'd be it for me with him through the entire season.


-------------------

I wish I had more time but I'll probably end up making even more terrible decisions with more time... Here is all I could come up with at the end of the day.

Shame, that last one you posted didn't really scare me
Deciding in the last seconds whether to trust in Salah or not. Will probably make the wrong call.

I did end up getting Garnacho in his place, but I wanted to play with a constant 5 on the midfield, at the worst 4.

What are your priorities? Match point or attacking returns?

Match point - Yes Rodri guarantee you that as long as he's fit to play.

Attacking returns? Don't buy Rodri he's a waste of space in your team Hhampuz!!! £6.5m can get you Garnacho and other better options.

Top 14 last season out of ALL midfielders in PPM - he's just a nice guarantee at a low price to always get something.

Looking at other options you have to think about rotations in their teams, how injury prone the players are and everything else - which is not a worry with Rodri

No clean sheet point, no ball recovery point so owing a DM in FPL is not worth it tbh. Rodri is not on set pieces and only produce an attacking returns once in a blue moon.

I believe he is as essential in any FPL team as he is to City, pretty much the only player you can count on week in and week out at that price range. Can't say the same for others hovering around £6-7 mil..

You Sabi ball my padi - I will take you on my Gee and for other pools we would sort it out later.


Who uses Rodri in Fantasy? Oh Hhampuz 

Rodri injury ruined my entire squad... back to the drawing board.

I also think I am ready for GW1 as well.

It was not easy selecting a team, but I think I finally have it.

Starting on a good note is everyone's target.

Team ready !

I spend.......... 30 minutes hahahahaha.

In this kind of games i really feel like if i overcomplicated or overstudy every single detail i ended up being more confused and undecided than before, so i try to keep it simple.

Good luck to alls!

The lineup is ready.... spent a few days and searched for some information about FPL on Tiktok.

Exactly when did Osimhen come to Chelsea? I'm waiting for him to come. He'll deserve to be at Chelsea rather than Napoli because Conte doesn't seem to like him much...

I cleared out my first draft and went super aggressive taking all the top picks until I ran out of budget, then went for cheapest options that I saw a whole lot of people took. Don't be shocked. I finally dropped Nunez and Robertson from my squad. Aaaaand I bought Haaland. MF needs to be in the team if I want to compete, sadly.

If I didn't know how else to explain my GW1 strategy: follow as much as possible the crowd on their top DEF/MID/FW picks, then fill the rest in with cheapos.

No, Trofo will lose this year. And I will not stand by to collect hundreds of dollars from his downfall heh heh.


2mbtc simple one on who finishes higher. Bad luck to you, friend!


I only took up OP, sorry padi but max I can do is 1mbtc on simple "who finishes higher". For FPL. I would love to maintain my status as chief FPL donator but I am going to give it a better go this season (or at least not miss soooo many game weeks) and in that case I would prefer not to take your money

Or maybe I'm chicken against you this season -- but who knows, BSFL or midway, we can think of something. Or Second Chance Bottlers league haha.


You guys are ruining me honestly. I'll also do another 1mbtc "higher finishing offer" just to keep traditions alive. Is there anyone collecting info on sidebets because I know I will forget them. I've put this post in my saved messages.

===Sidebets (higher finish wins)===
icopress - 2mbtc
CLS63 - 1mbtc
Igebotz - 1mbtc (I'm penciling this in Igebotz without your confirmation because I know you'll say yes)
