        Salah costs almost 5M more, he is priced to greatly exceed Saka's production

        Merely matching Saka is a fail

      It's a difficult one if you have exact money and really want him. But personally I'd hold off on the early transfers and keep Bowen for the mo. A lot can happen in a week and after all Bowen is a nailed 90 minute man with good fixtures and probably on pens still. Its a luxury move when you may well have other fires to put out come next Saturday.

        I’m thinking of doing Bowen to Foden in 14 and then maybe Salah to Bowen in 15, which would allow me to bring in Kane in 16. Is this crazy haha?

    From a football perspective, I gotta take a season off. My own team threw away a 2 goal lead at home to lose 4-2, yet all I can think about is 8 lost Kepa points and how much Doherty is gonna punish me tomorrow for starting Guehi over him.

    Any early thoughts on this team moving forward?

    Pope
    Cancelo - Trippier - Jomez
    Salah - Martinelli - Trossard - Andreas
    Haaland - Kane - Mitro

    Iversen - Almiron - Veltman - N. Williams

    1.9 ITB 1FT.

    Trossard to Foden is still the move right? Thanks.

      Trossard at home to Chelsea might score as many points as Foden at Leicester though.
      Probably is the right move, but I'd look at Veltman to an Arse defender for next week.

        Yeah exactly, I guess that's the game we play!
        Hmm I had been looking at Arsenal defenders up to the world cup but opted for Jomez. One to consider, thanks.

    Anyone else just a bit jaded by FPL this year?

    Haaland being the only monster FPL asset, it’s just quite predictable at the moment. Some stars here and there, Trips, Saliba, Mitro, Toney etc but no one banging them in and causing some real excitement in this game.

    Not sure if it is the 5 subs, the impending WC, but it all feels a bit topsy turvy and a bit flat.

    This time last season we had some real considerations with Salah firing, Mount banging in hatties vs Norwich, and then the Son explosion second half of the season.

    A lot to come of course but just saying how I feel and wonder if anyone in the same boat. Difficult to get excited about it all at the moment.

      See I'm the opposite. Last year I felt jaded, took a break from FPL and this year feels like the good ol' days! I guess taking a break is all you need sometimes.

      Trying to climb up from such a low rank when you can't pick a differential captain is making it a bit of a slog.

        I am not wishing anything bad to anyone, but Haaland injury might shake things. Pool of best players is limited and having differential team now isn't good idea. I fear that this season I may struggle to get even top 100k finish.

    Suggestions on how to use 2FT on this team and 0.6m:

    Pope // Ward
    Saliba, Trippier, Andersen // Struijk, Webster
    Salah, KDB, Zaha, Martinelli // Andreas
    Haaland, Toney, Mitrovic

    One thing for certain is that I want Foden or Cancelo, preferably Foden. Not sure if I want Saka as they play two away games in next 3. Maybe save FT to buy WestHam and Everton for the last 2 weeks. Or get to Kane selling Salah. So many options that I am very confused.

      I’m just thinking Salah + Zaha > Almiron + Kane and giving in.

      It’s a nice team for sure, but I know what you mean, it is confusing. I like the Kane idea.
      Sorry I don’t feel like I’ve helped much haha

    Shouldn't the Utd goal actually be a Kepa OG? When the ball first drops down after the initial save, the ball isn't over the line. Kepa then grabs at the ball and takes it over the line. It's an OG.
