AB2 for me

Yeah

Yea

The new goalie signing is third choice. Actually, this transfer is a good news, because they are surely not going to add a fourth keeper -- meaning Ward will remain the first choice for the season.

thats true but did the extra 0.5 enable an upgrade that did get points

Reed who also plays for Fulham.

DaSilva looked good for the time he was on the pitch. Reed, Colback, Lavia played 90 minutes. Colback will definitely not keep the starting spot, Lavia may claim a starting spot. No idea about Reed (Fulham).

Colback and Da Silva

missing cancelo but you know that

1) Going without Cancelo.
2) Unpopular opinion, but Jesus may become an issue: Not on penalties, not enough goals, lots of tracking back. Although it would be an easy switch to Mitrovic / Wilson.

Solid team, nice balance. No glaring issues. Quite like it.

Although I see the appeal, I’d be tempted to move Aaronson to a 4.5/Dasilva.

Then upgrade Castagne and Williams to Trippier and Dunk. Both of these defenders are nailed, play for better defensive teams, and also offer attacking threat plus set piece involvements. Play a 4-3-3 with an ability to avoid poor fixtures for defensive assists and account for rotation and injuries in your squad. Especially with an early wildcard.

Wild card this early! Oh dear

Prefer Jesus & Nico OUT for Cancelo & 5.0m

Have the same team except I have zinchenko and trippier for your Castagne and Williams! Debating getting cancelo and should I have sake/Kulu or Maddison !

Only if you want to buy Darwin for GW2 and think that's the best possible move for your team.

"Must"? No.

Stick with Mount mate. Foden + Mahrez not nailed.

Could go Mount to Saka or Kulu depending on funds other than that looks good

Got the exact same team.

I’m thinking mount to Foden or Gundo

Last I heard, the best striker on the globe plays for their team.

They could try and get Balotelli

Ronaldo or Cavani not good enough?

They seem scared of approaching good players and end up chasing bang average short term picks, very odd

I would play Andreas, Neco first on bench.

I would play Neco. He is a talented wingback and playing at home plus 50/50 could get a clean sheet.

Andreas is known to be a 2 or 3 pointer.

8m for 2 keepers, ching ching

Thank heavens there was no Neto Bailey Andreas who to sub repeat here.

1) First time starting with 2 defenders from the same team - Robertson and Trent.
2) Ignoring Jesus - the highest owned player. This decision, I think, will help me get a much better rank this year because there will be cheaper players who will outscore Jesus. For week 1, it was Wilson for me. Feeling extremely confident that I will always get players to outscore Jesus.

i went without Salah, i'm content with that decision as it allowed me to start with Nunez as my 3rd Pool player after TAA & Diaz, also only started with 1 premium which unfortunately was Kane, but who's now Haaland

Playing Salah, Haaland, and Kane, the PK takers for 3 of the best teams. Also playing 3 Arsenal. It makes watching the City/Pool/Arsenal/Spurs matches fun and exciting for me. If Saka stays on PK duty might switch Jesus to Saka so I can have all 4 PK takers 🙂

Håland and Kulusevski.

First time ever using my bench boost in GW1, because why not!

Thanks. Was suffering from insomnia so managed to catch the last window (3:30am UK time) a couple of days ago.

Barely Missed it

Noooooo. Missed it again.

No that’s a fine team, get Erling and you’re good to go

I think the -4 is ok. I wouldn't do Mount to Kulu in GW3 though and wouldn't WC.

I wouldn’t be doing anything after game week 1.

Only a backup; Ward and Iversen seem safe in the first two slots

On wildcard, it'd be daft not to get the 8m duo i think. Unless you're going for a premium keeper set and forget.

Surprised he’s not going up by 3 this week

Better buy Darwin now then

What is the 99.8% a reference to and where can you view it?

The 100% price rise is not guaranteed even if it goes over, it’s just an indication

Nothing, Salah is non-negotiable

Check his hest map vs Fulham. Check it again vs Palace.

This guy is going to park off in the opposition box. His stat from Fulham suggest the same.

I doubt he will struvgle to score

i've seen enough already, the amount of chances Nunez gets means he's going to score a ton of goals, Nunez + 4m to spend elsewhere is a pretty big carrot to tempt you away from Mo, but that being said there is no reason why you can't squeeze in both

If I was going Salahless it would be TAA Robbo & Darwin. I currently have Robbo as my third pool.....so will Darwin out score Robbo? I have no idea at this point but will be monitoring for a potential switch to TAA Salah Darwin (get rid of Jesus).

Mo is their leader

If Darwin gets starts and 70%-80% of Salahs point I will do the move.

Leaving it too late is not optimal. Best period is GW6-8

Unlimited transfers after World Cup so makes sense to use WC around week 8

Play it when you you feel like playing it. Don't let anyone lambast you for being a critical thinker. Don't become a 'you can only play it in gw4, 5 or 11 whatever"

It is your WC

Well done. Good luck.

I was trying to hold off all week but gave in last night. I feel better now I have Haaland and Darwin up top now

Kane brace incoming this weekend then haha

Yes

yes sir

Unfortunately yes. Money lost.

Godammit! tx all!

i do that every WC 🙁

Don't worry, I did the same but I still figured out how to fit him back in again.

Oopsie

pretty good 😀 see mine below, we are like variants of one another

Gone with three guaranteed starters and have added mitro

I like that

Very tasty mate!!!

Did Leicester buy a new GK? Who? Is Ward going to lose his place?
Really nice team btw..similar to mine...just need to get rid of Bailey from mine

I really like it. Why Patterson over Neco? Patterson could lose his place with Coady coming in? Dasilva could also lose his place with Brentford's new signing, so suddenly your bench is pretty thin, which might be costly when CL rotation kicks in for players like Darwin & Kulu. I would consider downgrading Tripps to a solid 4.5 and upgrading Patterson to another solid 4.5 so you've got a stronger bench

Go Ederson and James over Sanchez and Cancelo. Then it's perfection. Andreas first sub. That's the best bench u can have with fodders.

this your WC team ?, looks very very strong

Doitdoitdoit

would love it if he blanks this GW :p

Great - will monitor as not enough funds at the moment & already have three Liverpool players

Raya

yes

Im thinking of the same moves.but over the next 2 weeks.x

Kane to Darwin this week and Rashford to Kulu next? -4 to bring Kulu in v Chelsea is unnecessary I’d say

Absolutley not but it's your team do what makes you happy sir

no premium defense no salah?? just after first GW?

interesting team, looks great except for Valery who i don't think is nailed, Patterson could be a better bet, he just has an old and often injured Coleman to contend with

Mitro at 6.5 is a no brainer.
