I normally wouldn't be too keen on labelling any player as a mistake this early on but if I had Rashford I'd be tempted to cut my losses and get rid quickly. There's no sign anything has changed with him at all and until we see that happen I don't think there's any value to him as a pick, doesn't matter what position he's in

Didn't wait. Switched him out for Martinelli (already had Haaland)

Agree. Already transferred out for Martinelli

This was meant to be a reply to Santi Mmt...

Even if Rashford's price drops by 0.2m?

Yes he’s scored 4 in just over a year. Not getting the attraction whatsoever.

Taverner gw 5 or KDH?

Agree you don't really need to do anything major until gw5.

Son to Kulu would free up funds to upgrade Bailey (or bring in TAA or Nunez instead). Alternatively there are some decent 5-6m to hop around between (Gross, Aaronson, KDH etc)

Dewsbury-Hall, who failed to come off my bench last week.

At 5 million, as long as he is playing, what is the point? Unless you downgrade elsewhere and get Martinelli.

Very nice.

There is no optimal as you'll want the one that scores the most points every week. And that won't be Lerma every week.

Potentially keepers and Mount are the players I might change.

Got exactly the same team and thinking of doing mount to a city 8m, but will most likely hold

Not when Darwin starts firing this GW

Haha this is my team! Let me guess, 79 points and around the 300k mark?

Same team, only Kulusevski for Mount.

Must do or you would change your team completely each week?

Yes

I would be very keen to get him in my team at that price point

Do you think Fofana would go straight in and become a nailed option?

He was in my initial draft at Leicester so I'd be keen on him. That being said I'd wait a while for him to settle, still wary of rotation with Tuchel no matter what they've paid on a player

Good team and exactly as you mention.

You also got a par score so there's nothing to panic about.

Good post from a fellow Blue
Stay positive

I have Sanchez to your Iversen, and I played him over Ward. The rest identical. 61 for me, did Kane to Haaland before price rise. No regrets for me though, was not a bad decision.

Let's hope Mount and Pool defence comes good this week, then we're laughing. Giving Haaland the armband this week

Identical to my team except for Walker over James and your summary stacks up with where I’m at as well.
Already done Kane > Haaland and not beating myself up too much over that one (starting Kane was a worthy punt imo).

If you're playing the fixtures then probably Gabriel.

Otherwise Bailey.

Definitely not the other two.

2

Probably 2 due to the fixture.

3

I'd bench Bailey. Villa looked poor.

Walker?

Trippier if you can bench for gw 3 and/or 5

Made a comment above but Fofana to Chelsea becomes a rather nice 4.5 option.

Otherwise; Gabriel, Trippier, Walker

I gave Cash, but I don't think any of them have shown anything of interest yet. Only one game, though, so early days....

Zinc. Wish I had him

Can'tfindtheNeto

Bench both

Two words. Game time.

There's a world cup this year

He's been dropped for Wolves to play 4 at the back. Maybe it's the best offer he got and he simply wants to keep playing in the league and Lampard made him a good pitch.

Carragher, McManaman, Fowler and Owen were all Everton fans.

He's just been dropped and unlikely to play much this season.

Which part of it are you struggling with?

Gross or Aaronson most likely

Liked the look of Aaronson

Both Haaland and Salah are good options. I planned on Haaland so I'll stick with that but Salah is as good of an option

A

very tough between Salah and Haaland

May have a similar dilemma myself.

I'm playing Trippier for sure but unsure on Bailey or Pereira

You're not changing them all unless you WC. Depends on how aggressively you play the game.

Perisic (rotation and Sess looking good) and Rash (Utd) would be my two to go first.

There’s no way to tell, gotta go with your gut. I went w the clear out w the early WC cos I personally saw enough to know the team I like to carry forth in the weeks ahead. May be wrong but going w my gut

I would propably clear them all to be honest but there is another option:

Do you have a playing bench?

Bench Perisic, move Rashford (--> Martinelli?) and Watkins for -4. Keep Mahrez and Sterling.

Honestly I don't see any of them going crazy and think there are better and more reliable picks that will give you a much stronger team. You may actually be better off wildcarding now as opposed to stretching the transfers one gw at a time and losing rank

I'd give them 1 more week. You didn't waste a month to pick a team for 1 gw only

Have Perisic and Rashford. Keeping the latter cause he got good chances even in a bad Utd game
And thinking of shifting Perisic, maybe even this week

Certainly don't get rid of them all, I'm not keen on Rashford as a pick personally but I never was. I think Perisic can still be a good pick but Conte's comments about playing players that finished last season and giving time for others to settle. Perisic only getting 30 mins last week doesn't bode great for a game away to Chelsea. Watkins has a good fixture, Mahrez like Rashford I don't love but because you can't rely on him starting. I'd give him one more week.

I'd wait on all those players one more gameweek.

Thanks guys, I'm going to hold tight and give it 1 more GW.

On a wc? If not don’t bother. If yes then maybe yes. Seems to be a creative player who may get some assists and goals. Rodrigo May be more value since OOP

Keep for now.

Don't think he's an urgent OUT yet and think 2FT going into gw3 will be a good position to be in

I'd keep and give yourself 2 transfers going into GW3.
I feel there are far too many hasty transfers being made based on one match so far.

defo keep for next gw decide after

Interesting. As far as I can recall, Norway has the best performing managers per head of population (e.g. within the top 50k) and Ireland the highest number of managers per head of population.

Very interesting. Quite a few in Iraq.

B

Worth a hit? No

No

Stick to the plan

Did Kulu disappoint GW1?

No

Do you want to play Pep Roulette?

Same plan but keeping. Foden didn’t look like scoring many points in that ManC setup.

Arnautovic ranked in the bottom 3% for progressive views

For a team moving backwards and targetting 10th, that's a fantastic addition

Manchester United ranked in the bottom 1% for overall progression.

The Glazers are running the club like a 8 year-old playing Football Manager.

I think it's time we accept that it was a mistake, it was always too good to be true

I really dont think your allowed complain about a starting 4m priced goalie

Wouldn't expect a clean sheet against Southampton, they're horrific defensively but decent offensively and Leicester didn't look great. From MOTD at least Brentford had far higher quality chances against Leicester than Leicester did

Only 5 keepers got a CS in GW1

Keep Walker. Look at either Mount or Neto.

Triple City defence could be an interesting differential as most only have 1. Maybe moving Kane to Nunez could free up funds to upgrade Neto later.

That said though, I think 2 city defenders and Haaland may be the best way forward. Downgrade Ederson to a 5.0 and Kane to Haaland could also work if you have FOMO over Haaland

Odegaard should stay.

I don’t like double at the back from any team except City

Bailey

That’s a hard one. I’d say Aaronson

Aaronson or Bailey. They're both playing weak teams though so tough to split.

Probably would start Bailey

Like a pre GW1 squad

Very reactionary.

No TAA is the main issue here. Jesus looks overrated to me in terms of EO.

Are you bailing on Liverpool defence? Feels quite a kneejerk move

Cheers, will reevaluate

I see 10 players that returned last week, + Jesus, Diaz and fodder. Feels far too much like chasing last weeks' points

For who?

It’s too early to have an answer for that. I’d give him couple of more weeks minimum

Is it for a hit? I wouldn't.
If it's for free then Saliba is worth a look.
