      I always WC after GW1. Play price rises (if I get a rise of 2 of course). Then I'll reset to this.

      And no. Not playing THIS week's points, the team looks strong for upcoming fixtures. Saka is my changeable position - will become Mbeumo the week after and so on.

          They did. But I only had Salah, not Haaland. Now I can see both are on point it's easier to come down from a 14/14.5m without hits than the other way around.

            Salah was very poor v Bournemouth, not sure how you can say hes "on point". If the Bournemouth defender deals with Endos hoof downfield there would be a Salah fire sale.

      Wood will have a lot of games with no goals, then a few with just one goal. Not get you many hauls but good returns for the whole season at a lovely price. A lot of them single goal games Wood will get max baps. He's a player you have to be patient with.

    Hi all, havent posted in a while - old veteran from the very early days (2008) but lost that original account (dbronaldo), seems nobody around from those days anymore

    Have started nicely this year with 73 without using any chips and going for my standard early agressive WC which has lead to many top 10k finishes , Haaland is needed and a perma captain for most weeks i feel and there is a good few cheap gems to jump on early and remove a few others who are not worth the investment (Palmer, Bruno). All players have potential to be the tailsman for their teams.

    WC
    Sels
    Lacroix, Ballard, Cucu
    Semenyo, Cunha, Salah , Anderson, Reindeer,
    Haaland (c) Etikite
    dub, Bjiol, Esteve, Guiu

    Anyone missing? Not sold on Semenyo longterm but decent short term fixture, Etik can also move on for Isak longterm.
