Fantasy managers backing goals for both Liverpool and Palace

The most captained and most transferred in player of Gameweek 2 will both be at the heart of the action as the latest round of matches draws to a close.

Sadio Mané (£9.7m) was snapped up by 487,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers after his brace against West Ham in Gameweek 1, and he is in the starting line-up tonight.

Liverpool face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park having won 2-1 on their last visit back in March. The events of that meeting bode well for Mané and the 54 percent owned Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) who both found the net.

Not surprisingly, the Egyptian is the most captained player in Gameweek 2, with 1.4 million managers handing him the armband.

Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), backed by 17 percent of Fantasy managers, also registered an assist during his last trip to Selhurst Park, as well as in Gameweek 1 of 2018/19.

There will also be much interest in the exploits of each side’s forwards tonight with Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) the second most-owned option in this encounter, his 35 percent following second only to Salah. Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is not far behind the Brazilian in third place with a backing of 31 percent.

After emerging as a fantastic budget option in Gameweek 1, Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes into his second match of the season now priced at £4.1m and in 22.5 percent of squads.

Tonight’s Monday night match should definitely have a big impact on the outcome of Gameweek 2.

CRYSTAL PALACE XI (4-4-2): Hennessey; van Aanholt, Sakho, Tomkins, Wan-Bissaka; Schlupp, McArthur, Milivojevic, Townsend; Zaha, Benteke.

LIVERPOOL XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Robertson, Gomez, van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    7. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      two FT in the bank? seems a waste to use the WC this early maybe try and sort it with a 3 transfer (-4). reasonable spine to the team with Rob, Mendy, Salsa, Firm, Aguero

  2. Mishon

    Sanchez + Firmino to:

    (1) Salah + Zaha ($0 ITB)
    (2) Auba + Mkhi ($2 ITB)
    (3) Hazard, keep Bobby (roll 1 FT)

    Thank you.

    Firmino to Zaha
    Cedric to Alonso for a -4 makes sense?

    1. OPTA FPL

      yes

    2. Bggz

    DDG 🙁 to Ederson? or Alisson?

    1. OPTA FPL

      Edersn

    2. GreennRed

      Who's your 2nd keeper?

    3. IRBOX ⚽

      Why? You got DDG for a reason and United have a sea of green upcoming

      ive got ederson and mendy and im very happy about it.

      the rotation dilemma for the city mids totally passes me by.
      i couldnt care less who plays out of Bilva Dilva Mahrez Sane, KDBs injury

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years

        Haha sooooo this 🙂

    5. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Keep.

    6. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would save with the easy run after spurs. They look like a shambles but may improve with the players they have coming back. But otherwise ederson with the rotation risk at city.

  5. davies

    Has anyone here ever used their WC while having a good rank to stay ahead?

    Or purely when things start to go really wrong?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Usually when things go wrong for me.

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Last. Usually to fix a team falling apart.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not often that high so can't say. It would be pretty ballsy. Have to factor things like TV in too.
      If you are doing well chances are you have the players that everyone wants.
      But if you spot a fixture swing etc and think it's worth it.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I have once or twice. Big fixture swings forced it.

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      On 161 points currently.

      Playing the WC to stay ahead of the curve and catch price rises of players I'd want long term (Alonso).

      The wildcard is a chip that is supposed to be played to one's benefit but people purely look it as an emergency chip which is not right.

    6. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      There is no specific time to play a WC. The reasonings are all purely subjective. To each his own.

  6. Stockport Hatter

    Thoughts on this:-

    Fabianski
    Sakho Mendy Pereira
    Salah Mane Richarlison Maddison
    Aguero King Firmino

    Hamer Cairney Peltier Wan-Bissaka

    1. Stockport Hatter

      0FT 0ITB

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        G2G (for now).

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not the worst, but far from the best. More info perhaps?

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I need to get King Peltier and W-B out but limited without losing a reasonably big hitter. I’m sat 41k so a good start. Maybe best to stick and get to the international break and wildcard?

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          W-B should stay in your team until end of the season unless he gets injured. Reevaluate after next GW.

          1. Stockport Hatter
            • 7 Years

          yep stick till then. wanB is worth keeping hes the only 4m starter even if he is out for a couple of games.

          look at sakho/king and peltier see what you can do

    3. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Nice. Still have transfers, or used them?

      1. korbendallas82
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ok.

      2. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Used both to bring the Leicester double in for Jota and Shaw.

  7. waldofeen
    • 9 Years

    Worth a hit?

    1. Why Always Me
      • 10 Years

      Mendy maybe, but wouldn't take a hit

  8. Shifty
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Feel like i've missed the boat on Richarlison but I guess at this point it's damage control given ownership.

    Townsend > Richarlison

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I was his biggest critic pre season but jumped on after gw1 as 4 above in my cash league had so didn't want to lose ground. Left 2m itb originally just for such a early change

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. I got him few hours ago. Its the right move.

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      its only gw 2 and everton still have nice fixtures

  9. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Hey guys... 2 FT used up.
    Worth a hit to get Richarlison for B Silva?

    Foster Fabianski
    Mendy Robertson S Cook Tomkins AWB
    Salah Mane B Silva Mkhi Cairney
    Aguero Arnie Ings

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Why on earth would you sell Bilva. Rather have him next 5 than Mkhi

      1. olidooley
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Really? I got Mkhi in because of fixtures....

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I don't know why people think Arsenal have better fixtures than City next 5

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not for a hit. Good team.

  10. davies
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Bilva > Mkhi worth a hit to guarantee at least 10 players?

    *already on -4

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You've convinced yourself he's getting rotated for no reason. Sounds similar to early non Aguero owners

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Nothing to base it on I agree as it’s hard to predict but I think it’s his time now

        1. davies
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          But I really can’t affoed him to be dropped too

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Who do you have who won’t play?

      1. davies
        • 9 Years

        AWB Chalobah Peltier Kamara

        1. Ross From Friends
          • 5 Years

          btw did I tell you I triple captained Kun this weekend 😀 ?

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            You didn't. NICE! 😀

    4. 420king

      Nah.

  11. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    After a few WC drafts I keep coming back to this.
    City triple with only one in attack and a Ars triple might seem a bit much but the fixtures can't be denied
    Rich or Pedro is the sticking point in this draft? 442
    A. Rich
    B. Pedro

    Ederson Hamer

    Alonso Mendy Bellerin TAA

  12. MikeLowrey

    G2G or make a change? 0TB and 1FT

    Fab
    Alonso Mendy VVD
    Mooy Bilva Salah Jota
    Firmino Kun Mitrovic
    (Ryan, Cairney, Peltier, AWB)

    Looking at switching keepers or dropping Mooy to Kante. Willing to give Jota another change

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Jota needs to go. He got subbed at HT dude lol.

  13. Why Always Me
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Who are the essentials to get in on wildcard ?? Currently on alonso, mendy, Salah, mane , kun , auba.

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      kun or auba. arsenals fixtures are great but hes not started firing. if you go Kun its an easy switch when he does

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison. Robertson.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes those are the same 6 I had in mind.
      Realistically you can only have 5 of those 6
      And 1 of the front 4 has to go. I chose to lose Mane.
      It can be done with all 6 but requires 2 * 4.0 defs in a 442. Not ideal. Well that's was the only way I could get it to work.

  14. AC Me Rollin

    Want to do with Patricio

  15. BAMBAA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Just watched the last 30 min of the game from tiny phone screen. Was there really a contact on Salah WB red card?

    1. Ross From Friends
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      get a new phone!

      1. BAMBAA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        At this age I'm pretty sure it's because of my eyes not the phone.

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Pointless discussion.

      1. BAMBAA
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        No I was not trolling. Just a legit question as I could not tell from the video.

        1. 420king
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I wasn't applying you were, just it won't change anything 🙂

          1. 420king
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            +that 😛

          2. BAMBAA
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah I know in fantasy it wont change a thing but I'm not so sure if I like that Salah fellow as much as before if there was no real contact. Not that it matters also.. 😛

            1. 420king
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Ok, that makes sense, unless you coincidentally had WB in your starting eleven 😛

              1. BAMBAA
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 8 months ago

                No he came from the bench for Peltier ofc.:D

                1. 420king
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  That's what I meant 😀 I'd be pis*ed too 🙂

                  1. BAMBAA
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    So there was no contact because you would be pissed?;)

                    1. 420king
                      • 9 Years
                      5 years, 8 months ago

                      Only gave it a half look. It is what refs says it is 😛

                      1. BAMBAA
                        • 7 Years
                        5 years, 8 months ago

                        Agreed.

            I was thinking to remove him for Ings, however I can go Peltier and Jota to Alonso and 4.5m instead and shift to a 4-3-3... Do you think that is the best option for this GW?

    2. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Jota -> Pedro/Maddison/Mkhi

  18. jia you

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Damn, only around the 20k mark in OR, such a disappointing start for my Salahless team. If only I listened to all of the advice on here and believed that Mo was essential 😉

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      🙂
      Stop it you will tempt me into dropping Mo
      Some tasty looking teams can be had without him.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Haha, yeah thats the main reason going without, team is more fun! Still worried not having him next weekend, but even on wc I'll stick to my guns!

    2. AC Me Rollin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Could be below 10k if you had Salah (;

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        No chance, my Salah draft would be closer to the 1m mark than 10k mark

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wait till I use my bench boost 😉

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        🙂

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      In all seriousness, a little bit bricking it not having him for the BHA game! But if I get through that, think it will prove a decent decision!

    5. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      A captained Salah hat trick, buh bye season 🙂

      1. jia you

        go away you bubble burster you!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Haha! Nah i wish you the best of luck man as i even contemplated it myself, but have fallen into the ‘easier to have him and downgrade than need to get him’ camp 🙂

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Ha, I will tell you one thing its def easier on the heart having him!

    6. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It's only been 2 weeks. It is Salah's incredible consistency that may come back to bite you. As other player's are putting on good scores, his impact does not seem much at this stage.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Yup, on WC and a small part of me really wants to get him in! If I did, I would swap Mane to Salah and that seems a bit silly atm!

        1. FPL Hitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Trust me it slowly starts to hurt your rank. Made the same mistake in the past with players like Costa who were incredibly consistent early on, and him being captained by my rivals most of the time made it even worse.

    7. Ramboros
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It's strange how someone with King captain GW1 and Sanchez in the team can think that Salah isn't essential. You just did well otherwise.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you for your input Captain Hindsght 😉
        But yeah, wish I captained Mane over King GW1

  19. money face bandwagon

    2ft but not sure what changes to make.

    Pickford hamer
    Pva mendy vvd peltier awb
    B.silva mane salah rich stephens
    Kun king zaha

    Thinking of doing b.silva -> mkhi and bank the other transfer. Any suggestion?

  20. Ojpsan1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen for Mane or Mikh?

    If i do Mikh i can do Luiz to Alonso next week, i have Salah already.

    1. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If I was moving Eriksen on (I did) then I'd get Mane (I didn't because I have 3 Pool already).

    2. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen and Luiz to Mikhi and Alonso looks a downgrade to me.

      1. Ojpsan1

        Alright, thanks

  21. pukunui

    BSilva -> Richarlison or Willian or Mkhi for -4?

    1. MFPL

      Richarlison

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years

      Wouldn't sell Bilva for a hit.

      Some here said he played really bad first game. I did not see the game.

  23. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Appreciate some advice regarding Chilwell and Pereira. Pereira has 3 assists already but the stats suggests that Chilwell is just as offensive. I'm thinking of picking up Pereira in a draft league on a waiver, but dont want to lose my high order place for the January transfer window. I could risl him going unnoticed and pick up Chilwell if he's taken. Thanks guys for any feedback!

  24. rdamjan

    Who still not getting Mane? I did Sanchez to Hazard. That could end in tears next week, but looking forward...

    1. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Read comment from Sarri that Hazard still not ready to start the game and would come on from the bench as impact sub

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Is he on his way out do you think?

        1. FPL Hitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I don't think so. Maybe all part of his strategy to throw in Hazard when the other team is tiring. Eventually would be in starting line-up though.

      2. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I`m aware of this. Hazard vs tired legs 🙂 He looks good this year.

    2. 420king
      • 9 Years

      What country rank you at atm? 😛

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        around 300, 200k OR

    3. COYS Down Under
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'm still not getting Mane

    4. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I don't own Mane. Last week when I got hit with the KDB injury I figured Hazard was the better mid term pick. I still think that is the case.

    5. Trae44
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Already got Mané but looking forward to owning Hazard after shipping him for Sanchez this week

  25. COYS Down Under
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Patricio (Hamer)
    Mee Robertson Mendy (Lovren AWB)
    Mkhi Hazard Salah Richarlison (Stephens)
    Kamara Aguero Ings

    Feels gtg to me

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not to me. I think you need to trade out Lovren to a playing 5m defender and start him over Kamara.

      1. COYS Down Under
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not for a -4 its not worth it. Lovren will be back in 2 weeks so I can ride it out for one week.

  26. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan
    Luiz - Mendy- Robbo - Bailly
    Salah - Maddison- Hazard - Pogba
    Aguero - Jimenez

    Button- Fraser- AWB- Kamara

    This is my usual XI (although Fraser will start this week). I have 0 ITB. 1 FT.

    Bailly looks the obvious player to trade. But for who? PVA? Do you see a bigger priority?

    1. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good.
      Luiz and Bailly - Alonso and 4.5/5 defender

      1. Demel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Now that would be ideal but due to the price drop it leaves me 0.1m short. I would need 4.4m or less def and I don't see a lot knocking about.

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Rest of team look good.

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I'd save the transfer, team looks good for next week.

  27. captainjilflex
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    How often are people willing to take points hits on transfers? Ive always avoided them but when are they worthwile??

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      When price drop/rise prevents you from getting a player you really want.

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I took a a hit almost every week two seasons ago and finished top 5k but that was the only season that it worked out! Hoping to try a new minimal hit approach this season and see how I go!

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        and a few -8s and couple of -12s I will add, they can work out very well if timed well and with a bit of luck! I think the key is not being too patient, whilst not being too hasty! Tough balance to crack though!!

    3. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      When ur behind and u have shayt players. There is no universal rule. U either have to fix ur team and make up grounds and hence take hits or not..

    4. captainjilflex
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Thanks for the input guys. appreciated

    5. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Hits are fine when they work out. Too many people think they need to make a profit that very GW but that's nonsense.

    6. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      People look at hits the wrong way. You should be taking them to get more points than if you didn’t take them. If you don’t think that’s a strong possibility, then don’t take them.

      For example, I took out Luiz and Jota last week and brought in Mendy and Richarlison. Net +11 points. Hits can be good.

      1. captainjilflex
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’m considering taking a hit this week. DDG Eriksen and Lowton are not performing and now AWB suspended. could potentially bring in Mkhi and Ederson and have 3m itb going forward...

  28. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with King? Who’s the best replacement at 6.4 or below? Wilson has much better stats...how did Ings play?

    A. Ings
    B. Wilson
    C. Someone else?
    D. Keep King

    Thanks.

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      D since you've missed the price drop.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        May as well keep King for this GW with a decent fixture. If he blanks again, ask this same question

  29. COYS.
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Should I do a -8 for more city coverage ?
    I only have sane right now ...bcos of not having right city coverage I lost like 500k OR

    A) Sane + Daniels -> B.silva + Mendy
    B) Sane + Arnie -> Aguero + Kante
    C) Sane + AWB -> D.silva + Chilwell

    Appreciate your help

    1. Like an Egyptian Magician

    2. My Name Is Pepu

      Wildcard

  30. FPLzebub
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Best GW to wildcard? There's a big fixture shift in GW9 if you can hang on until then.

    1. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      True its either Gw 9-10 or when your team needs some major changes imo

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      There’s no universally optimal timing as it all depends on ur team & rank..

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah the shift around then scares the hell out of me as I am on WC this week.
      Don't know how I will negotiate it. Going to be worst that double and blank weeks without a chip 🙂

      1. FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Just needs more planning and a few judicious hits perhaps but if you have a wildcard available it makes life a lot simpler.

    4. AC Me Rollin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      What fixture shift? Can you explain plz

      1. FPLzebub
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Check the fixture ticker. You'll be wanting to get rid of all your Palace players for a start. Everton too.

    5. jia you

      The time is now!

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Unless you set up from the off with a fantastic team, why not right away.

        It's akin to a poker player showing their hand (after GW1). I usually wait until the first International GW to WC but all depends on as I said, how well you set up your team before GW1
