Kane had the much better fixture, nobody knew Haaland was on pens either.

Don’t feel bad, just make the transfer.

Wouldn't worry... easy fix.

One of those where it was a reasonable decision but an extreme negative variance outcome

Same. For Spurs to score 4 goals and Kane get nothing is a real bummer.

So basically you are actually having moan about a glass half full, lol

Hindsight is a terrible thing

A

Surely give him another week against a depleted Everton?

Last week

Hold if you can roll dice/bench one more week. Once regular we'll see how he does.

Zinchenko is quality but we have Tierney back fit & there will be some rotation.

I think Tierney is a better defender & Zinc better attacking so depending on opposition Tierney could come in.

Saying that Zinc can push to mid over Xhaka & then he will be in everyone’s team

Withe Chelsea next ; absolutely not.

Probably not, if Kulu comes in it's not as bad

People making transfers already (as in today) don't think about these possible scenarios, so probably you'd expect

no, it would be typical of Kane to brace in a non captainable tougher fixture, like away against City last year but then blank in easy home games

I’m sure many had Kane for the ‘banker’ vs Southampton with the intention of swapping to Haaland this week and sticking.

A with KDH

God knows why you bought Martinez and Malacia. Both of them are 5 foot 5.

Looking like a couple of stinkers already

When you can't even get Arnautovic for 7.6 mil, something is seriously goosed

Need to accept that they're in transition too. It feels like they've never accepted this fact, yet they've really been there since Ferguson left. Arsenal doing it under Arteta, Liverpool did it under Klopp, changing the playstyle and the squad takes time and things will go wrong but there needs to be faith that it'll work out and you need to stick with it, but if you keep thinking it's just a small change here or buy this and that player and boom it's done then there'll be no progress really.

United can never be the same till the Glazers are there sadly. Not even the things you've mentioned will help.

They won’t.

Don’t think many of there fans can accept it.

It’s funny because the fans wanted the panic buying

How will you feel if Perisic starts?

And if City sign a new left back … ? This does not feel like an essential hit.

Just do rash to marti and bank the .5.

Horland

I also have Digne. If you aren’t ok to have him against a very depleted Everton at home why did you get him in the first place?

It’s all about enjoying the journey not the finish 😉

Your HOF rank counts for nothing too, FPL is a game and games are for fun

You want someone else to do your wildcard?

Liverpool: Salah, TAA, Darwin
City: Haaland, KDB, Cancelo
Arsenal: Jesus, Saliba, Martinelli

A) TAA, Salah, Nunez
B) Cancelo, KDB, Haaland
C) Zinchenko, Saka, Jesus

All opinion though, I can see why some would disagree, especially with my Saka suggestion.

Salah Trent Darwin

Haaland Cancelo Walker

Jesus Zinc Saliba

TAA, Salah, Robertson
Cancelo, KDB, Haaland
Saka, Jesus, Gabriel

Aaronson + 1m

C or D (but this is why you start with a premium striker people) 😆

Active, not threatening

Not great but it was a tight defence he played against, very narrow and compact. Grealish impressed more tbh

Ok

Clear intentions to find Haaland at any attempt

Was getting in the area lots

Hoping he takes the Sterling role of getting into box at any point and supporting Haaland

would any of you swap kulu to one of the city mids or leave it ?

Already got Haaland and Cancelo

G2G boss

If that's not a wildcard team, congrats this week! If it's a wildcard team... you know the conversation will have shifted after next fixtures

Delete your team

Troll. Link it.

Like 1 or 2 am. Think like quarter past one roughly.

Well some did plan to use it in a specific way. I'm in the kneejerk category though, although it doesn't feel that way so I'm happy with my choice

Kane > Haaland was planned by most.

I think you'd be seeing more variety if FPL Towers hadn't underpriced defensive assets this year

Will just become a game of finer margins. Someone will still desevedly win your league 🙂

he's right in what he's saying but only Salah, Haaland maybe Mendy made team of the week out of the template

This game is about template AND a little bit of differentiation. It's about jumping on bandwagons and dropping them when they're cold. It's very identical to a stock market. That is where you win the game.

Going non-template had plenty of opportunities this week. I didn't do great with 66 pts and had a 9% template rating. It was really only the Son captain which failed me and bad luck with Aaronson/Kristensen.

But it's not that strong.

TAA and Robbo got 1 point each.

Kane and Haaland are split pretty evenly among engaged managers. Lots of people don't have Spurs or Son. Forwards are emerging while people have too much money in defense.

Our teams are gonna evolve in an interesting way from here on.

It's been one week. There will be twists, injuries, unexpected form players etc... I think it might be the most interesting season FPL wise yet.

It's a game of luck. As long a luck is the overriding parameter its worth a play like most games.

Good

Nope

Ta, save FT

Looking good

Save. Similar to my team, and the potential problem positions (the cheap mids/def) are not ones you can solve with a single transfer, so I'd wait

Solid

Needs more Haaland

Who you captaining?

Haaland and Haaland to Haaland and Haaland for a -4 imo. Do it now before price rise.

Feels like an A, thanks guys!

Gtg

Saving FT is key . . but Rash needs to go.

Template pick was Kane , Liverpool defence , Diaz

Not haaland , Nunez , Kulu

It course if you go against high ownership players and they do well your rank takes a beating. Conversely if you go against, they blank and your player hauls you get a huge gain.

The skill is in picking the right battles

It’s sooo not follow the template , just because most on here do 😉

Fantastic opportunities to beat the game and templatey Twitter crowd

I think it’s easier now

Template did not win it 100%. Some were very poor picks. It did 80% good I'd say. So you could still risk the remaining 20% (going forward)

The template is such because it normally contains proven FPL assets. But on averages anyone can have one bad week like TAA, Kane etc.

B

Keep Digne !

City defence (great fixtures, high cs potential)

B

Kulu

Ironically lots will be transferring Mahrez in

I'm keeping. More chance of starting against BOU now surely.
