I’d do it. Both good options, but Villa have the fixtures

Free? probably yes

Maybe. Let Murphy play first?!

We do not have enough information to determine right now

I am in the same boat with Foden, such an annoying illness to deal with.. he will likely go down in price this week and not even sure if he will be back in gw3

Pedro

I got Muniz for a bit to beat his rise

Welbeck if you want value.

Pedro or Wissa or Havertz are probably better though.

I wouldn't get Watkins if you are after value. Buy him in a few weeks when he's cheaper. He's likely to rise only when he scores or does something.

I got Welbeck in this week. He plays centre forward for a team off to a great start and has Ipswich at home in 4. Pedro could hurt me but I feel ok with Welbeck, he’s CF for most the game

I went e

If you want green arrows: A

67.

58 - Haaland (C)
2 - Muniz
1 - Archer
? - Jebbison (likely 0-1)
6 - Sels

Could only really have been better with Welbeck & Pedro over Muniz & Archer.

I was going to build a varied team then remembered it's not the main game & could afford to have a bit of fun.

Easy captain choice with Haaland, wouldn't have been so sure with the others and they'd probably have blanked.

Ederson, Mateta, Vardy, Muniz, Solanke(C). 8 pts atm.

72
Bentley (0)
Jebbison (0)
Muniz (2)
Haaland (58)
J.Pedro (12)

As my old mum used to say: 'you get what you pay for'

Apart from the 160.

Pickford says hi

right about NOW

Could be but unclear.

The price changes?

He’s not wrong though

May be he was referring to Chelsea?

Lmao... Wow!

Yes, thank you.

Overthought it and decided Rodri being out was enough to hold onto the chip. I usually have more fun (not success) playing it on a complete random later in the season trying to claw back a ML anyway.

He could still easily score more points in a future game week, double or not.
Although I’m quite happy with the extra 17 points, which propelled me into the top 10k before the Arsenal - Aston Villa match.

3. Don't think you should ever bench the first 2 options really, they can get attacking returns in any game

So two of the best attacking defs who play for top teams, vs someone I’ve never heard of, assuming he even exists? Let me think…

What does the 6 mean?

?? Really

Nope he is 6.9 and affordable

Tough between A and C imo

Who did you plan to bench when building this team? I'd leave that guy as the first sub here, and accept a possible haul if you need him off the bench. Rogers, right?

I’m currently benching Eze for Rogers. Maybe that’ll reverse Eze’s fortunes and get him firing. I’m also playing Gordon, but no Muniz in my team.

dont stress too much its part of the game, most of ur team hasnt played yet, plus even if they dont end up doing too well, its only gw 2, people join the game after and still get good ranks at the end of the season.

Long way still

I made similar moves.. Solanke to Muniz and Ode to Foden for a hit and for a few hours I was absolutely livid with the misfortune..then I realized this is a 38 gw journey with inevitable ups and downs every year and this can't/won't stop the enjoyment I have playing fpl or interacting with the community.

It's normal to feel this way. You made a decision to go without Haaland, suck it up. I played my wc because of this reason even though I usually do in gw 2. It felt wrong to go without Erling.

On the bright side, it's only gw 2 and you still have players left to play. Good time to learn from it & improve things otherwise why play the game?

Every manager here would make a mistake at some point, human nature, only depends on how one reacts. Good luck!

Thought of your team mate when I saw foden didn't play, real rough outcome. I was bullish on Foden too but opted to roll my FT.
Still games to play this week, good luck with your remaining players.

Boys…boys…! There’s taking it serious and then taking it serious on a different level. I could say get a life but I spend too much time thinking FPL to get away with it. It’s definitely not worth getting depressed about though! Just chill and enjoy. There’s a long way to go and 1 week could change your whole outlook :0)

Unlucky.

Despite what people are saying (e.g., 'it's only GW2') you are already at a disadvantage. Can you catch up? Yes. But is it easy? No.

FPL is getting more and more about the start, unfortunately. It is much easier to hold a lead than it was five years ago. The player pool is already narrowing and it is only GW2. I say you got about 6 GWs to get into a decent position (e.g. 1.5m OR at worst) otherwise it will be tough.

You will get people on here saying I went for 1.5m OR to 10k from GW19 to GW34 etc. They are the exception rather than the rule.

None stands out yet. Might be Hall, but that's a bit risky too

Konsa's good run starts now.

I think long term its Dunk, he's nailed as can be and a goal threat in any game

I was also thinking of letting Myko go but now double minded due to nice run of fixtures expecting better performance
Konsa is a good shout otherwise

Robinson

Any FT here will depend on Nkunku's minutes, I guess. Team is fine otherwise

Maybe Henderson to Martinez if nothing else arises

Why not? He scored well, almost matching Haaland (c) for 5m less

It depends on Liverpool & Chelsea today

Get it now
You might have Haaland as well and didn't captain him
Feel lucky in this case

A easy with Rogers

Waiting for Emery's update there too. 4.0 Villa RB with those fixtures can break the game

They could just play Konsa there & being Carlos in.

Just a hamstring injury so might only miss around 3 games. Is it worth the transfer?

No. This was it.

Not many are having a breakdown except for those who tried “covering Haaland with Foden” alas, to no avail!

Good morning. Please read my post and replies again. I'm describing the bad luck and inability to predict such things. I've also said having a string of such luck so early on can suck the fun out of the game, yet I'll still be here interacting with the community because I like such aspects of the game

I'll be fine, thanks. There are way worse things that have tried to break me down recently, yet I'm here replying et al 🙂

A or B

Hope you're not allowing FPL to adversely affect your work as a medical professional.
