GAMEWEEK 1 REVIEW

Well… Gameweek 1 didn’t exactly go to plan as a Bench Boosted-team delivered 64 points. My opening team didn’t do wonders, but FPL is a marathon, not a race. That was especially clear after my final-minute changes before the deadline.

I moved Mamadou Sangare (£5.6m) and Ben White (£5.5m) out for Tarik Muharemovic (£5.0m) and Enzo Le Fee (£6.0m), hoping to strengthen my defence for the opening five Gameweeks before potentially considering a Wildcard. Unfortunately, the difference in their Gameweek 1 scores was significant, and I was left wondering whether I had overthought the decision.

That’s FPL, though. We’re all going to make mistakes throughout the season. The important thing is not to allow one mistake to turn into two, three or four because we’re desperate to make up the lost points immediately.

    Rodon Calafiori Shaw (Ballard Davis)
    BrunoF Mbueno Szoboszlai Tzolis (Sangare - wrong one)
    DCL Haaland Pedro

    1FT, £0 ITB. Good to roll?

    Team Reveal:

    Kinsky
    White - Rodon - DeCuyper
    Palmer - Mbeumo - Szoboszlai - Tzolis
    Haaland(c) - Isak - Pedro

    Dubravka - Sangare - Thomas - Konsa

    Toughest decision was 3rd defender. I’ve gone with DeCuyper on attacking threat against a dodgy Chelsea GK.

      Also a WC yes?

      I think FH4 strategy removes the need for Isak and gives you better defence, can get O Reilly Truffert, Calafiori , and downgrade Isak to a 6mil (I like Gonzalo and went for him in my wc)

      Heres mine
      Trafford
      Truffert Cala Ajer O Reilly
      Palmer mBuemo Szob Odegaard

              Thanks, I'm on Hume as well and hoping for an attacking return. I had De Cuyper in earlier drafts but took him out to avoid the double up with Verbruggen. Expected them to do well against Villa, but didn't anticipate how well they would do. Hume could outscore De Cuyper this week still

    Gut feeling means absolutely sod all right? Have this annoying feeling that I should start Vuskovic over Maguire. I'm a United fan and we conceded home and away to all the relegation teams last season, it's just what we do. My biggest mistake was being suckered in by the Hull & Ipswich game and having Maguire in the first place. My thinking is that at least Vuskovic might get some DefCon points.

    Grand scheme of things it's almost an irrelevant decision... but I'm staring at Maguire in my starting 11 and I can smell that 1 pointer a mile away.

      Conceding home and away to all relegation candidates isnt a feeling if it happened.

      Your call if you think its a structural issue with how United approach those games or random variance.

      If you think its a statistically valid pattern, bench maguire

      I wouldn’t take a hit. You might want Semenyo back for Coventry in GW3

        Brentford attack looks great. Schade? I know fixtures are tougher but still feel they score goals.

        Or could you bench carry you this week and make a double transfer next week?
