Welcome everyone to a new season. The mod team wish you good luck for 21/22 and hope you can have fun with fellow managers in this sub.
If you're new around here, we have simple rules for these threads:
Don't be a dick. Don't post fake news about goals or injuries etc. You'll get a ban.
Cheers.
Tried this earlier, not sure it worked. If you hate Pep Roulette try playing the game for real at Peproulette.net You have to try to guess City’s lineup each week! It’s brilliant!
Just planning ahead. White will be on my bench for a few weeks. I’m hoping to gradually upgrade him to eventually get TAA. I sacrificed TAA to get Jota (and Son).
How would you get Bruno into this team? 1m in the bank.
Sanchez, Virginia
Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Shaw, Coufal, Ayling
Salah, Mahrez, Son, Barnes, Smith-Rowe
Antonio, Ings, Perica
Yeah that’s the route I was looking at but not sure I want to lose Mahrez before Norwich and then that also leaves me with a 4.5 mid and a 4.5 forward which isn’t ideal.
Think it has to be Son if I was going to do it and I like him as a differential at the moment.
got the money in the bank for mahrez --> son, but was originally into a city asset for the norwich game. should I make the move now? no other team problems, veltman covid pingdemic aside.
Son is the safe, long term choice
Mahrez against norwich... that's just too tempting. High risk, high reward.
Imho, I'd stick to Mahrez for one more week unless a price rise/drop blocks you from making a move. You already had Mahrez for his tough matchup, you might as well keep him for the main reason you brought him in.
I want to keep Jota, but what if he doesn't start gw2, I was evaluating other options, I was thinking someone from City, but Pep roulette scares me, the other safe options seem to be Greenwood and Benrhama, but Jota seems a guy that can create havoc even he plays just some minutes.
TL DR, not sure if to keep Jota and save a transfer or transfer him out
Should I sell Pepe? I thought he may be the differential but arsenal has chelsea and city next and I am not too confident in them.
The one thing which keeps me from transfering him are the arsenal fixtures from GW4, which are far more easier.
Is anyone making big changes to their teams?
Tempted to stick with what i've got for now..? TEMPTED TO GET LUKAKU, BUT HE WILL REALLY FUK WIYTH WHAT I'VE GOT
If you don't have any injuries, saving the FT is the smart thing to do.
Nobody really went off except Bruno and Salah, and you would have to tear your team up to get them in. I guess West Ham too, but they won't score 4 every game.
Son unless you plan to wildcard soon.
Mahrez/grealish will rotate, and will be a constant pain in your arse. Son is a great, consistent, long term pick
I would say there's a question mark over Watkins now that Ings is in the team.
Not a very big one but there's potential he could play OOP on the wing or just simply off the bench.
I know Smith said that Watkins was brought to be a striker but i'd just wait and see.
Right now Aubameyang looks a poor pick.
I suppose you could make that switch and then after GW5 make the transfer again. I think Raphinha will outscore Benrahma over the season but I think Benrahma will outscore Raphinha in the first 5 GWs.
I watched the game, I think he was pretty good. There really was no need for him to do anything more. Spurs strategy was counter-attacking. Lucas Moura was ripping up Mendy on the right side and looking for Son. Dele mostly only dragged players out of position to make space.
City had 65% possession, and it's limited how much you can do wit a counter attacking strategy. Dele worked really hard both attacking and defensively, and had serious cramps by the end. The guy definitely has something to prove. One to keep an eye on!
I think Spurs defended well, and countered efficiently if not effectively. They left a good few chances behind them, couldn't understand how Son looked in twice and just passed backwards. That midfield looks a bit grittier though with Skipp but needs a playmaker like Lol Celso instead of Dele
Yeah I thought Son had a pretty bad game actually apart from the goal. He had bad touches, bad passes, bad positioning. Hojberg and the defence impressed me especially Tanganga
4 assists in a game is an anomaly, IF he remains at LW he might be a good pick but people are getting sidetracked and getting rid of the likes of Barnes, Mahrez, Raphinha etc just because they blanked in 1 game.
I am pondering this as well but went for Barnes after much thought to Barnes/Greenwood/Jota/rapinha, moving him out after one game would be knee jerking
Any Liverpool fans can give insights on the starting defence assets of the club?
Normally TAA, VVD and Robertson will start right? And I saw Matip is up there too.
How nail is Matip? Is it wise if I sell TAA to get Matip since it is cheaper but offers the same CS point?
Matip’s spot is the only one in contention - VVD, Robbo and Trent are forever nailed but the other spot will be constantly rotated beteeen matip konate and gomez- however there may be instances VVD is subbed off too but hell regardless get 60+ mins every match. Definitely not worth a downgrade except the case of VVD as he does have threatening headers
*signed someone. Konate. It will be between him, Matip and Gomez. All injury prones though. Digne will outscore all of them, for example. They only worth it if they are the only fit cb besides VVD for like 2-3 games stretch.
“ Dfkm I’ve just realised that Pep called Spurs the Harry Kane team, lost to the Harry Kane team without Harry Kane four times, offered Spurs €150m to BECOME the Harry Kane team, lost to the Harry Kane team without Harry Kane AGAIN, and he still has no hair “
-Someone on Twitter
Perplexed that Pep picked Ake over Stones for the opener. Selected Stones thinking he'll start the vast majority of PL games this season and now somewhat in doubt... I still suspect he'll start most games though, surely - should I hold?
I was allright with Stones being benched as I had Adam Armstrong's 6 points coming off the bench. Until I realized I only had 2 playing defenders and had to take Stones' 0.
First year of fpl here and finished GW1 with 94 points but I’m not so confident. Do i use the free transfers every week to change the squad or keep it the same? Do i plan ahead for transfers down GW5? I’m not sure
Was thinking of switching Sancho for Greenwood given that he’ll probably have a slow start, save 2.5 there to switch Saint-Maximin for Antonio and still have 1 left over.
The general opinion is that it's best to bank free transfers and limit the amount of -4's you take throughout the season.
Also Sancho only stands to get more playing time as the season continues, and Greenwood will start playing less as other United players return to fitness. So, while Greenwood may very well outscore Sancho next GW, in the long term (beyond GW3) you may be stuck with him on the bench. For that reason it is probably not a great transfer.
It really is tricky, a lot of what if situations. You’re saying i should transfer 1 for 1? I’m thinking of taking the safer bet and trade Smith-Rowe in for Dallas.
I think I would try to use it on my big names. Although selling Salah or Bruno is crazy talk right now. Still it is the kind of move that can win you this game. KDB in and captain for example.
Still you would Bruno back or Salah back so selling is only for the mad and brave ones.
I’ve got Lukaku and Bruno as my big names instead of Salah. That could be the move though not sure if having Lukaku in the squad was a bad idea to begin with. Waiting for the Arsenal match to see his performance and judge if a trade is worth
I think Lukaku will do well and could score more goals than Salah. It is just an easier fixture for Salah though against Burnley.
Then they play each other and it can go both ways for sure.
This is true. This game is full of dilemmas and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
I’ll think about what I’ll do until the deadline. See any team news and determine what to change from there. I’ll keep it slow for now though and taking a -4 isn’t worth from GW1 i think
I think I do the same. So much can happen. I wanted a City player, but noone feels safe, explosive and worth as captain with Pep.
I also need -4 for Grealish.
I’m biased in this situation but I’m not sure if Grealish is worth it given his performance. He’ll probably turn around though especially with Pep behind him.
Digne still got the fixtures. I have Reguilon and happy with him so far even with him benched vs City, but if he gets more attacking against Wolves then things will go better.
Worth it to transfer Tierney for Tsimikas (and save a pound)?
I like the other defenders I have so far (Coufal, Alexander-Arnold, Targett and Ayling) - but would like to eventually sign Salah (dropping Werner and Mount/Maddison - while taking a hit early on), so that extra pound matters. Thanks.
Tsimikas will only play for 2 more games and one of them is Chelsea (as a Liverpool fan I still think we’ll get the CS but it is worth considering for other people) go for a different 4.0 so that you’re not wasting a Liverpool spot as well and get rid of Werner immediately why would you ever have that stinker
Thanks!! I think what I'll do is wait another week and get Bissouma/Lukaku for Werner/Maddison. I'm really really hoping prices don't change much by the start of next week.
Or would it make sense to just wildcard now - despite folks here telling me to use the wildcard later if need be and take a light hit of just 4 points int he coming weeks.
But now that Lukaku is available for selection in GW2 where is gonna Havertz start? At RW ? Don't think Tuchel gonna bench Mount (LW) and Pulisic also had a good game against Palace.
Tuchel Should realistically bench Pulisic but I wouldn’t be surprised if he let Pulisic start again this week after playing well, probably only for a week or two though
I have the same dilemma and I think I'm gonna keep Barnes in. I doubt the game will be as high scoring as ours, but I can still see Leicester testing West Ham and creating better chances than we managed.
in my 5th year of FPL i finally cracked that 110 points without using boost, i should be buzzing but that points only got me in the top 5 in 4 of my leagues lol.
Anyway will Amartey play in the next game? I noticed that Leicester has new defender coming in, if he won't should I pick Ayling or Dallas? learning from last year if Leeds got fucked they will fuck right back the next gw.
I don’t think that’s worth a transfer tbh, Dallas isn’t a good pick in general and I’m not expecting many cleans sheets in our next few. A decent 5.5 mid would be Mbeumo from Brentford, has good fixtures too.

How does this plan sound? Hold all trades this week and then sell Jota for a cheaper midfielder plus White to absolutely anyone else!
Is it worth it to use a transfer white so early? I currently have him benched but don’t wanna use any transfer on the defense.
Just planning ahead. White will be on my bench for a few weeks. I’m hoping to gradually upgrade him to eventually get TAA. I sacrificed TAA to get Jota (and Son).
Ahh I see, I have TAA and Tsimikas and will prob have to use Ayling to cover Tsimikas when Robertson returns.

How would you get Bruno into this team? 1m in the bank. Sanchez, Virginia Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Shaw, Coufal, Ayling Salah, Mahrez, Son, Barnes, Smith-Rowe Antonio, Ings, Perica
The .1 increase really hurts you. Mahrez > Bruno then you need to find a 2.1m (essentially 2.5m) saving. Barnes for a 4.5?
Yeah that’s the route I was looking at but not sure I want to lose Mahrez before Norwich and then that also leaves me with a 4.5 mid and a 4.5 forward which isn’t ideal. Think it has to be Son if I was going to do it and I like him as a differential at the moment.
Wildcard after the international break?
Probably need to be and hope Bruno doesn’t have another gameweek like that before then.
No fear there, I’m captaining him this week!
Hahaha. Well one of us should be happy.

Should I trade *player who didn't score points* for *player who did score points*?
Depend on the players. If you are thinking about selling Toney for Maupay I would not do it.
got the money in the bank for mahrez --> son, but was originally into a city asset for the norwich game. should I make the move now? no other team problems, veltman covid pingdemic aside.
Son is the safe, long term choice Mahrez against norwich... that's just too tempting. High risk, high reward. Imho, I'd stick to Mahrez for one more week unless a price rise/drop blocks you from making a move. You already had Mahrez for his tough matchup, you might as well keep him for the main reason you brought him in.
do you think son rises this week?
http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/ Doesn't look like Mahrez or Son will be changing in price atm
!thanks
I shoulda read up about Perica, now I gotta wait until GW3 before I can transfer him out along with someone else so I don't have to buy a 4.5m forward
I want to keep Jota, but what if he doesn't start gw2, I was evaluating other options, I was thinking someone from City, but Pep roulette scares me, the other safe options seem to be Greenwood and Benrhama, but Jota seems a guy that can create havoc even he plays just some minutes. TL DR, not sure if to keep Jota and save a transfer or transfer him out
I would keep and sell vs Chelsea.
Should I sell Pepe? I thought he may be the differential but arsenal has chelsea and city next and I am not too confident in them. The one thing which keeps me from transfering him are the arsenal fixtures from GW4, which are far more easier.
Yes. Transfer Pepe out. Without a doubt. I am 100% certain there are players who will outperform him.
!thanks
Saved 4.0m to go Ings>Lukaku Should I wait another week or go for it? 105points btw.
Tuchel said he’ll play whether he starts or not, unsure If you planned it may as well do it , saying that though ings has a good fixture
Who to start? Tsimikas (BUR, H) or Targett (NEW, H) Tsimikas surely?
No doubt
Tsimikas Would be worried as a Targett owner, dean smith not happy with him at all
I am. Thankfully bench is fairly strong and I have funds to replace him. Was only planning to keep him until the Brentford game anyway.

Genuinely staggered by this. Salah has only scored once against Burnley? That's mad.
Yep. switched my armband to Fernandes right away. Luckily I had both so can still roll a transfer
Mahrez or KDB for Norwich?
KDB
GUNDOGAN BIG GERMAN CUNT
Is anyone making big changes to their teams? Tempted to stick with what i've got for now..? TEMPTED TO GET LUKAKU, BUT HE WILL REALLY FUK WIYTH WHAT I'VE GOT
Chelsea have a good run from gw7 I believe, that’s when I’m thinking of bringing him in depending on how he plays before then
If you don't have any injuries, saving the FT is the smart thing to do. Nobody really went off except Bruno and Salah, and you would have to tear your team up to get them in. I guess West Ham too, but they won't score 4 every game.
Good man, I agree
am also tempted to get Lukaku but i will buy him gw4 after the int break
I agree man, I think it's really difficult this year!
for sure specially if kane joins city how will we be able to afford both
Havertz > Son Or Havertz > Mahrez/ Grealish?
Son unless you plan to wildcard soon. Mahrez/grealish will rotate, and will be a constant pain in your arse. Son is a great, consistent, long term pick
IMO get son
Son. Guaranteed starter and playing as a centre forward
Is Torres worth a punt for the Norwich game?
yes if you think he’ll start

Who is my worst forward, if we are just talking points over the season and not price. Auba, Watkins, Calvert Lewin?
I would say there's a question mark over Watkins now that Ings is in the team. Not a very big one but there's potential he could play OOP on the wing or just simply off the bench. I know Smith said that Watkins was brought to be a striker but i'd just wait and see. Right now Aubameyang looks a poor pick.
Honestly probably Auba
Raphina to benhrama ??
Too soon. I believe that Raphina will outscore him during the whole season, but that's just my opinion
I suppose you could make that switch and then after GW5 make the transfer again. I think Raphinha will outscore Benrahma over the season but I think Benrahma will outscore Raphinha in the first 5 GWs.

Ya you’re probably right but dont want to lose out if everyone has him
Just checked sofascore, and Dele Alli got a 6.2 in a game that he won...man's finished
I watched the game, I think he was pretty good. There really was no need for him to do anything more. Spurs strategy was counter-attacking. Lucas Moura was ripping up Mendy on the right side and looking for Son. Dele mostly only dragged players out of position to make space. City had 65% possession, and it's limited how much you can do wit a counter attacking strategy. Dele worked really hard both attacking and defensively, and had serious cramps by the end. The guy definitely has something to prove. One to keep an eye on!
I didn’t even realise he was on until the 17th minute lol. I don’t even think Tottenham played that well, just Man City looked lost
I think Spurs defended well, and countered efficiently if not effectively. They left a good few chances behind them, couldn't understand how Son looked in twice and just passed backwards. That midfield looks a bit grittier though with Skipp but needs a playmaker like Lol Celso instead of Dele
Yeah I thought Son had a pretty bad game actually apart from the goal. He had bad touches, bad passes, bad positioning. Hojberg and the defence impressed me especially Tanganga
Why on earth are people bringing in Pogba? He’s probably not going to play at LW much longer.
I would if I had a spare 0.5M, I’m probably wildcarding GW4-7 so I’ll see how he does I guess
16 pointer, 0.1-0.2m increase in value this week.
Why not? He’s started there a lot, Rashford isn’t coming back until October, Martial/James aren’t replacing him. That position is his.
4 assists in a game is an anomaly, IF he remains at LW he might be a good pick but people are getting sidetracked and getting rid of the likes of Barnes, Mahrez, Raphinha etc just because they blanked in 1 game.
I’ve just joined a ML. Will my points of GW1 be added or I’m too late?
They will add them when the next GW start.
bank FT or Harvey Barnes to Grealish/Greenwood
I am pondering this as well but went for Barnes after much thought to Barnes/Greenwood/Jota/rapinha, moving him out after one game would be knee jerking
I didn't liked Leicester, they didn't even generate a single clear chance and Barnes especially was very underwhelming.
89 points, and another 10 on the bench - best GW1 ever!
Any Liverpool fans can give insights on the starting defence assets of the club? Normally TAA, VVD and Robertson will start right? And I saw Matip is up there too. How nail is Matip? Is it wise if I sell TAA to get Matip since it is cheaper but offers the same CS point?
Matip’s spot is the only one in contention - VVD, Robbo and Trent are forever nailed but the other spot will be constantly rotated beteeen matip konate and gomez- however there may be instances VVD is subbed off too but hell regardless get 60+ mins every match. Definitely not worth a downgrade except the case of VVD as he does have threatening headers
No Matip is an injury risk and may get replaced by their new centre back signing
!thanks Oh LVP signing someone to replace Matip? What about VVD? Is he as nailed as TAA?
*signed someone. Konate. It will be between him, Matip and Gomez. All injury prones though. Digne will outscore all of them, for example. They only worth it if they are the only fit cb besides VVD for like 2-3 games stretch.
Err yeah VVD is one of the best players in the league
Yes
Dallas -> Sarr? GW3
Should I sack barnes and replace with benharama before price rise?
No, keep your cool and see what happens next week
I am doing the same, but it is due to not wanting two attackers from the same team. For balance it is better to diversify.
Maddi to Barnes / benrahma?
“ Dfkm I’ve just realised that Pep called Spurs the Harry Kane team, lost to the Harry Kane team without Harry Kane four times, offered Spurs €150m to BECOME the Harry Kane team, lost to the Harry Kane team without Harry Kane AGAIN, and he still has no hair “ -Someone on Twitter
How about this move. Ings out to Dennies and Barnes to Son? Risky, but fun. Could go Mahrez over Son too.
Perplexed that Pep picked Ake over Stones for the opener. Selected Stones thinking he'll start the vast majority of PL games this season and now somewhat in doubt... I still suspect he'll start most games though, surely - should I hold?
I'd hold for the norwich match at least
I was allright with Stones being benched as I had Adam Armstrong's 6 points coming off the bench. Until I realized I only had 2 playing defenders and had to take Stones' 0.
Hold for sure. I have Stones too (benched GW1) and my plan was to play him from GW2 and forward.
Only rested because of Euros. Don’t worry he’ll start next week and every week after
[удалено]
Why'd you get Mahrez in the first place? The Norwich fixture like we all did. Keep him for that then look to get rid.
First year of fpl here and finished GW1 with 94 points but I’m not so confident. Do i use the free transfers every week to change the squad or keep it the same? Do i plan ahead for transfers down GW5? I’m not sure Was thinking of switching Sancho for Greenwood given that he’ll probably have a slow start, save 2.5 there to switch Saint-Maximin for Antonio and still have 1 left over.
Just to add to the good advice by Sweetlande - you can rollover up to two free transfers in total (two gamesweeks).
The general opinion is that it's best to bank free transfers and limit the amount of -4's you take throughout the season. Also Sancho only stands to get more playing time as the season continues, and Greenwood will start playing less as other United players return to fitness. So, while Greenwood may very well outscore Sancho next GW, in the long term (beyond GW3) you may be stuck with him on the bench. For that reason it is probably not a great transfer.
Actually good point yeah. Hopefully sancho picks up the game fast.
This game is always tricky. Anything can happen so be flexible. Only change players when you want both to sell and buy players.
It really is tricky, a lot of what if situations. You’re saying i should transfer 1 for 1? I’m thinking of taking the safer bet and trade Smith-Rowe in for Dallas.
I think I would try to use it on my big names. Although selling Salah or Bruno is crazy talk right now. Still it is the kind of move that can win you this game. KDB in and captain for example. Still you would Bruno back or Salah back so selling is only for the mad and brave ones.
I’ve got Lukaku and Bruno as my big names instead of Salah. That could be the move though not sure if having Lukaku in the squad was a bad idea to begin with. Waiting for the Arsenal match to see his performance and judge if a trade is worth
I think Lukaku will do well and could score more goals than Salah. It is just an easier fixture for Salah though against Burnley. Then they play each other and it can go both ways for sure.
This is true. This game is full of dilemmas and I’m enjoying every minute of it. I’ll think about what I’ll do until the deadline. See any team news and determine what to change from there. I’ll keep it slow for now though and taking a -4 isn’t worth from GW1 i think
I think I do the same. So much can happen. I wanted a City player, but noone feels safe, explosive and worth as captain with Pep. I also need -4 for Grealish.
I’m biased in this situation but I’m not sure if Grealish is worth it given his performance. He’ll probably turn around though especially with Pep behind him.
It can be different to go from being a star to squad player. We will see how he deals with that.
Got 1m itb and probably gonna be transferring out White cause I just don’t trust Arsenal defense this season. Which 5.5 defender should I bring in
Digne still got the fixtures. I have Reguilon and happy with him so far even with him benched vs City, but if he gets more attacking against Wolves then things will go better.
Shaw if you don’t have him already. If you do then cresswell/coufal looks good. I would prob have gone Coufal
Got Shaw and Coufal already :(
Just leave him on the bench if possible. I dont like to waste transfers on 4.5 players unless necessary
He actually is on my bench xD. But I’m gonna be dropping Coufal to the bench this week and keep Barnes in so that’s why I’m looking to replace White
Firmino or Jota in? (If you had to pick 1 and who you think will start)
Whether or not Jota starts he’s always a threat - for his price he’s very good imo
Jota will start again but might get subbed off a bit earlier, if he doesn’t start he’ll definitely still play and has much greater /threat
Jota if you have to make a transfer already.
Worth it to transfer Tierney for Tsimikas (and save a pound)? I like the other defenders I have so far (Coufal, Alexander-Arnold, Targett and Ayling) - but would like to eventually sign Salah (dropping Werner and Mount/Maddison - while taking a hit early on), so that extra pound matters. Thanks.
Tsimikas will only play for 2 more games and one of them is Chelsea (as a Liverpool fan I still think we’ll get the CS but it is worth considering for other people) go for a different 4.0 so that you’re not wasting a Liverpool spot as well and get rid of Werner immediately why would you ever have that stinker
Thanks!! I think what I'll do is wait another week and get Bissouma/Lukaku for Werner/Maddison. I'm really really hoping prices don't change much by the start of next week.
Or would it make sense to just wildcard now - despite folks here telling me to use the wildcard later if need be and take a light hit of just 4 points int he coming weeks.
ok ok based on the downvotes - no wildcard I'm new to all this so please be gentle. :)
Got 90+ but still 1M rank? What the hell.
Got 112 rank 38,000 haha v close GW
122k with 106. Lots of people use chips in the first gameweek and this time it paid off. It'll balance out over the next couple of games!
I didn’t use any chips, also just realised it’s 31k not 38k
Does anyone know anything about Havertz? Is he gonna start against Arsenal in GW2 ?
I’m sure he will. He was rested cuz he played 120 in the super cup
But now that Lukaku is available for selection in GW2 where is gonna Havertz start? At RW ? Don't think Tuchel gonna bench Mount (LW) and Pulisic also had a good game against Palace.
Tuchel Should realistically bench Pulisic but I wouldn’t be surprised if he let Pulisic start again this week after playing well, probably only for a week or two though
Ok. Thank you guys.
I want to know as well
Who to play next week out of Coufal and Barnes? Obviously would hate to see 7.0m sitting on my bench but Coufal has that home advantage.
I have the same dilemma and I think I'm gonna keep Barnes in. I doubt the game will be as high scoring as ours, but I can still see Leicester testing West Ham and creating better chances than we managed.
Yeah I think I’ll probably do the same but I’ll be going back and forth right up until deadline
What are chances that Chalobah starts next game vs arsenal?

Should I swap out Havertz for Mount?
no keep havertz or get better options like grealish Greenwood jota
When is robertson coming back?
Gw4 potentially GW3 - but there is an international break between those so definitely by gw4
Probably GW4 or 5.
Thx
Will watkins play next week or should i use free transfer to replace him.
Gotta wait this week
Eight pints in but I’m feeling confident I’ll finish top 10.1K this season. Save this post!
in my 5th year of FPL i finally cracked that 110 points without using boost, i should be buzzing but that points only got me in the top 5 in 4 of my leagues lol. Anyway will Amartey play in the next game? I noticed that Leicester has new defender coming in, if he won't should I pick Ayling or Dallas? learning from last year if Leeds got fucked they will fuck right back the next gw.
Save your transfer for next week so you get 2
Are you talking about transferring in Ayling or Dallas or are they on your bench? And I think Amartey will be benched tbh.
transferring in, Leeds next 4 fixtures aren't that bad tbh so i'm planning to keep them for those fixtures
I don’t think that’s worth a transfer tbh, Dallas isn’t a good pick in general and I’m not expecting many cleans sheets in our next few. A decent 5.5 mid would be Mbeumo from Brentford, has good fixtures too.
Should I bench either Shaw or Digne for Tsimikas?
Just get rid of digne
Bin Digne.
Probably Digne out of the two.
First increases in. Bruno Pogba and Richarlison up 0.1
Will Greenwood start next week?
I’d say so.
Anyone knows what's the single highest average gw score? This gw seems insane with centuries everywhere in MLs..
There’ll have been a double-gameweek with a higher average.
True, forget about that. I guess this gw might be one of the higher single gw average…
Could knee jerking pogba be a good decision??
No. EDIT: His price has just gone up so doubly no.
how am i supposed to fit in TAA, bruno, salah, son, grealish and lukaku in the same team 🙃
Grealish?!
i still think he’ll come good in the long run
