Which budget FPL options caught the eye in Gameweek 1?

Wondering this too.

Dunk. higher chance of attacking points plus he can assist as well nowadays. 😛

good question, what is your view ?

I think Dunk will do better for bonus over the course of the season, although I did jump on the Montoya bandwagon once he appeared in the Scout Picks.

Both great picks but I can’t resist a wingback.

B. Wingback. Good crosser.

I wouldn't be too swayed by a single GW.

B stats were junk last season. Nothing will change. Dunk still better pick

Dunk

Too late - 16

He died young of course. Maybe an early WC would have helped.

Brilliant

Michael Caine should do an audio recording of this.

MURPH!

Originally this was
Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Excellent and classy

If he starts 65 and score again hatty of assist, hes my captain for the weekend 🙂

Thing is with Jota he got pulled an awful lot last season too around the 60 mark. Now there's a bona fide sub for him it seems more probable than likely that this will continue especially with EL.

The game is won, they should start Cutrone & MGW up top.

I am pretty sure you'll want to use you FT elsewhere next week. Just save it imo

no, unless you will captain Auba

What does horoscope say? As insightful as RMT

Palace good away scoring record?

For sure!

Need him to be picked and look dangerous at home. Was tempted to start with Norwood due to pens and set pieces so we’ll see.

Feels like a one goal game to me. Not sure that's there's that much in it. If Sakho is back in for Dann then there are decent odds of a Palace cs imo.

The first string Palace defence looked quite ok in preseason and Guaita and one first choice CB have a mighty record against non top 6 opposition - 50% cs.

I think that unfortunately, with Turkish assassins after his blood, he won't be able to play again and may need to leave the country before the Euro window closes.

Unfortunately Ozil is one of the most risky picks imo, even more than last season.

I don’t understand all the hype around Ceballos. Ozil didn’t play and he still didn’t start

Ceballos and Willock seem to be competing for that role as of now. Whoever wins there could be a good budget punt

I think he is going to be trapped inside his house

Hopefully

Why on earth are you selling Cathcart already? Did you only look at gw1 fixtures?

A Probably
B Who do you have already?

The consensus on Palace boards is that Kelly will start. He's probably ahead of Dann and Sakho is still a doubt.

Cahill? I somewhat doubt it. Roy is very conservative and took ages to bring in Guaita for Hennessey - despite his fantastic record in Spain.

I'd punt on Mings, but Montoya/Dunk the more sensible option

No way

I have both

No. Not unkess it is enabling some other absolutely essential transfer. And even then have a good think about it.

Good fixtures, but I would wait and see for now

Haller/lanzini proper auditions this week. Was concerned by fornals being dropped and playing 4231 rather than 4141 and hernandez coming on early as if going for them would want a clean run as sole striker, non-riration for lanzini

Wilson > Haller next week if he looks okay @bri.

yep i benched haller gw1 for this ,arise sir sebastian of haller...

Yep, firmly on the radar.

It's not gonna happen but tbh hourly transfer changes would create some beautiful chaos

Real time price rises.... imagine a player going up 0.1m during a game as he scores a hat trick 😯

I imagine you rightly were waiting until sterling/ederson rose for definite call (as eg salah could get injured tonight). Now the price changes train is firmly on the track (eg someone like pukki could rise before the weekend) I think people will be more decisive. The next two gameweeks are mad for changes, martial will probably rise again on sunday/mon night before he plays I'd guesd, strap yourself in!

I’m in the same camp with Wilson > Rash4. Most likely gonna regret... Such is the FPL life!

The Martial one was a surprise, around 63% so a bit of fine tuning no doubt.

My theory is that I reckon fpl wasn't working properly til 6am this morning, so sterling + ederson were probably more like +180%. Could see a origi/ndombele/ederson 2nd rise tonight... We'll see, the formulas will be close by end of week

Price rise/fall sites are never reliable at this point in the season, they'll get closer and closer to better predictions the further into the year we go.

I’m still not convinced Moura loses his place when Son is back.

Defence is a mess. You could sweat it out and hope one of Taylor or Targett starts, putting Donckers as first sub. If neither play you're stuck with KWP away at City.
Alternatively, you could panic and use your FT to get a decent 4.5 defender.

What an odd defence

I assume you have cover. See if he plays next GW.

If he doesn't start against Bournemouth get rid but think we'll have more attacking setup than against Spurs

I imagine they are more worried that he was subbed at halftime

What about James, coming on and scoring?

Cracking shot against the post early doors but faded 2nd half as Utd got on top, looked okay tbh.

A

Sell Robbo to fund Deulofeu up to Rashford.

Deulofeu vs Everton isn’t such a bad idea.

They're probably wondering what the hell's going on, like the rest of us. Give 'em a few hours.

Each season they have to try to work out any changes to the FPL algorithm - clearly either something has changed this year or there has been a bug with the FPL site / data (which wouldn’t be unlikely given all the issues with the site so far)

Not broken but they have almost nothing to go on.
We get these questions every year and the answer is always the same. Wait.

You aren’t going to sell them this week even if they were going to drop so just don’t worry about it.

Yes value is important but you can’t go selling players like Robertson after 1 week if their price falls by 0.1

You mean Fraser to Martial?

You’ll no doubt be reversing the transfer on Monday when martial blanks and Fraser scores 2.

Such a short term view

Fraser haul vs Villa will change your tune

You clearly don't hate to rub it in seeing as it's your first post in 19 days. Well done though and good luck with Martial!

No way, you have a 6.5 fwd letting you down like the rest of us?

Bad idea save FT

Haha!

Oh your being serious?

What will you do if Barkley and Perez score points and martial blanks this week? Will you then decide martial is a bad pick?

If you can’t get a 5.5 mid then I think you go Dendoncker and save 0.5.

Annoying but you must have thought it was very likely he’d rise this week.

surely City are in the Super Cup ? 😉

??

Didn’t realise they’re playing tonight. In what?
