FPL Gameweek 3 round-up: Sunday’s goals, assists, bonus and injuries

C

If Salah can't play in GW4, then C is the obvious move I think.

Otherwise I'd do B. Too early to move for Jiminez at this stage imho.

B

Cheers all.

How's DCL's toe? No point in resting for a fortnight only to come back before it's healed properly - thus requiring more weekly injections... Could miss GW 4..?

C
thinking about the same moves for free depending on the firmino injury and Ronaldo price

A

A

So tempting to be the first to try the Traore rollercoaster

Good moves imo

can't do Barnes - Greenwood, Ings - DCL without a 3rd transfer, not enough cash

Not sure Gwood is nailed on :/

The Bruno > Greenwood part for a hit can be skipped out

Not a fan of 4 at the back personally. Would downgrade Dias to Livramento and see if that allows adama to Greenwood? No idea on funds

Other way around. Will start and score a hattrick then subbed off at 70 mins for a standing ovation.

Have you heard ole’s comments?

I think it's definitely possible. I'm on WC so it won't bother me greatly as I just want to have the move done but with him only returning fairly late before that weekend after internationals I can see it happening.

Yes

Got my eye on him with those fixtures. I think I trust him more than Traore

Considered it, but decided too much of a risk

Alot will be on wc and alot of casuals will flock to ronaldo. I think its pretty 50/50 who will perform better so either play safe and go with the majority and get ronaldo or gamble without which could pay off.

You’re not just betting on Lukaku scoring, you’re betting against Ronaldo.

If Ronaldo played against Southampton and Wolves, would he have scored?

Getting both for GW4 🙂

Salah, Wilson, Ings to Gray, Lukaku, Ronaldo (-4)

Will do Salah to Son for GW5

Dier

Question at this point is how does Romero break into the team?

C

Ronaldo will be a million more expensive so B with a 4.5

D

Yes but wait till we here on the IB red listed player involvement situation

3 internationals in such a short time tho would tell me he will start on the bench vs Newcastle

I think 12.5m

13m

13m

12.5

I did Mahrez to Gray and have 4m itb to upgrade Ings.

So hoping 12m, otherwise I need to downgrade Shaw for extra funds.

Forgot to post my team

Sanchez
TAA Shaw Ayling
Salah Bruno Gwood Benrahma
Ings Antonio Toney
____
Steele White Tsimikas Brownhill

B

A for me. I'm going to wait and see with Ronaldo.

Greenwood is more nailed than people think imo, he's looked great so far, I can't see him being dropped. I think Ole will play Sancho from the left, with a Sancho-Ronaldo-Greenwood front three. When Rashford is fit, it becomes more difficult to predict.

B.

Tsimikas can wait.

Ings and Bruno to ronaldo and jota/torres could have been a good move if didn't want to play wc. Now you have done ings to dcl i would just wait and see how things lie during and after the ib.

Very similar to mine and I’m now thinking the same. I can only see maybe 3 transfers if I were to wildcard this week, but 6/7 in GW7.

Save

Veltman

He would probably go up by +0.3 too before Newcastle if not locked due to being newly added 😀
It's crazy.
It's a wait and see for me. If he is on pens/direct free kicks/plays up top and all that directly from the start I would obviously also move Bruno -> CR7, but I do not fear CR7 in that single game having Bruno in my team. If CR7 scores chances are Bruno will get an assist added to make up for it.
Also how crazy would it be for all to ditch Bruno just to watch him score on penalty with Ronaldo on the pitch? 😀

The only way possible to get in Lukaku would be DCL and Trent out, looking at Coady but very unsure it’s a good idea… Might just go Kane to Lukaku (c)

yeah

That goal was enough to make me keep him for at least the international break as well. Sometimes its worth being a little bit patient if its not an urgent transfer that needs to happen.

I'm sure too

You don't seem biased at all.

Garth Crooks are incredible. Declare Pogba as sensational for the tackle then condems Xhaka straight after.

Absolutely. Another reason why it’s hard to win fpl apart from ones luck, error & fpl tower

Granit Xhaka would have got a straight red card for that

Did you watch the Burnley v Leeds highlights? Two Burnley players should been red carded for hacking down of Dallas and Bamford. Shocking refereeing.

Dont we all! - based on fixtures AntJimDCL

Lula, Ron and Toney enabler so I can afford Salah.

Luka Ron Antonio for me

Transferring in a player just for price rises is bizarre. Just focus on points

Why should the game pander to you? Price change websites should be banned, full opaque

he was locked for a week, now he isn't - same with Ronaldo when he's added. imo it needs to be EVEN MORE secret than it already is, it's not a stock market game

I think it is pretty common for Signings post GW1 to remain 'locked' for a bit.

Unlike players that came into the system early, there is no way to assess their 'baseline' ownership at start of GW1. Transfers work on a % of ownership basis. Otherwise any marquee signing post start of season would definitely see multiple price increases.

LOL

Everyone has access to the same amount of information so for me it's fine. I understand the frustration though!

If i'm dead set on a player and have exact money, I would make the transfer early but wouldn't care if they were to rise or not as i would then own the player I wanted.

Are you upset that your new player didn't rise? What does it matter?

One big hitter too many.

Not convinced by Raph or MU defence - don't think TAA justifying the 7.5 at mo

not starting, Bruno pen, 30 minute 1-pointer would be funny, and I don't even own Bruno

I would love that.
I actually don't expect him to do that much in his first GWs, but if he starts on 12.5 and people will be buying him just for the hype, his price will be up to 13 once he will be needed (GW14 onwards).

Yeah good - no Torres - I'm not rushing for Raph

think about the GW7 wildcard team and work backwards.
i.e. replace the Chelsea players with good short term options for the next 3

Personally would look to fit in 3 premiums, but for your criteria:

Salah Benrahma Torres Jota
Ronaldo Antonio DCL

I think that fairly covers the big teams with good fixtures - plus the WH Bandwagon for point me and price rises.

(Might be worth Raphinha over Torres though after Leeds v LFC.)

like any big hitter both are excellent options but fixtures really matter with them.

Ronaldo has the short term fixtures for sure.

Lukaku is a flat track bully as we well know. Don’t fancy many returns in GW5&6 so avoiding until GW7, unless I fancy a premium forward Hokey Cokey. Not sure rest of team is in a good enough state to afford such luxurious transfers.
