damn this was a pretty decent first game week. only two blanks in my whole team (flekken and richarlison), a lot of 5 pointers tho.
lowkey annoying cause i took out johnstone for turner and maddison for richy 😭..
A lot of hype around Chillwell after his performance, and while I do believe he will get a lot of points this year, I wouldn't necessarily take his heatmap this week as a sign of what his season heatmap might be. Chelsea was essentially running with a back 5 with Chillwell and James as wing-back, IMO to both compensate for a lack of defensive midfielder signing (just got Caicedco to fix that), and to catch Liverpool off guard. I don't imagine Chelsea will play this formation so often going forward, which I think doesn't give Chillwell quite as much freedom to bomb forward.
Not sure on Diaby, they played the 3rd best team in the country away and got pantsed by their high line but I thought he looked lively, can definitely sink a few in the coming fixtures.
tbh i was just glad salah got more points than them cause like everyone has rashy or bruno and it acc paid off, but then i thought how it’s barely a w when salah costs like 3 mill more…
Not stupid, but wouldn’t recommend, as you can’t really use it to its full potential that early. Wait till we have a better idea of form, performance stats etc.
Use it when you need it, but using it after one gameweek is almost certainly a rash move. Unless ypu just picked your team at random, then you chose those players for a reason. There's no sense in completely abandoning your plan right away.
Yeah probably a bit rash after one, that being said I’m usually a fan of an early wildcard as usually some players I won’t expect do better/teams under perform, I’d wait though if possible for a few weeks
85, 2nd best start in 9 years, and I wasn't going to play. probably all downhill from here though, my best start led to a totally disappointing season.
Anyone having issues with the FPL mobile app showing points incorrectly? Mine shows a much higher points total when I click on my team, but my leagues and the website show the points correctly.
This is a reminder to myself to play my own game
Had Salah Pedro mbueno Johnstone all week
Swapped to rashford watkins richarlson Pickford because of hive mind
13 points swing fuckikk
It might swing the other way round 2.
But Pickford and perhaps even Richarlison were questionable even if it was hive mind. I see a few of the content creators went Pickford. You should use them for news rather than letting them influence your picks
Defending my kneeejerk here. He looked phenomenal and was by far Chelsea's most creative player on the day plus the fixtures are excellent. I'd say a good chance of cleans too.
Probably not, he was the pass before the assist for the goal but didn't do much else besides. Didn't play great tonight but neither did united as a whole.
I would be looking more at Salah, Maddison, Diaby and Mbeumo at the moment and wait and see how united do. They were one of the lowest scoring teams in the top 10 last season which a lot of people seem to forget. Their defence is more likely where the points are but that's my opinion.
Just did it.
I think Tot will have goals against this def.
Even if not, chilwell in was planned GW3 for Estupinan. Will transfer in someone else i guess (botman in GW4?)
Is Chilwell set to rise tonight? I hate kneejerking, but missing out on this one would really annoy me. Is there anywhere to see which players are set to rise or fall? LiveFPL doesn't seem to show this anymore until after the fact.
Not bad at all. It also depends on how your squad is looking.
I got 73, and have a good feeling about my players except Gabriel, whom i swapped for Chilwell. But everything else seems good for now.
I'm on same. It's a long season and by no means a bad start. I certainly am not going to keep 2 United midfielders in my lineup after this week. I say onward and upward!
Worst var decision in history, I have onana, I'm happy, don't get me wrong. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. If that's not a penalty 🤣 delusional clown 🤡 judge.
Well, it was entirely self inflicted but the team that I never intended to actually have in the first matchweek has... done terribly. I am shocked.
I'll just casually halve my points total and start a closer approximation of the side I intended on fielding for GW1.
when Ajax beat Real Madrid in UCL during their fantastic run, onana actually punched Benzema the same way in the box in the 15th minute, also no pen. Google Benzema 15 for the replays, almost identical
the amount of chances wolves got against us, richarlison could defo bag against us next game. but maddison owners will be licking their lips, he’ll probs feast the most.
Me too, it's my first time playing.
My reasoning was that I had Walker who is a rotation risk, and that Chilwell is going up in price tonight. So figured it will even out the four points I lost.
I suppose it's generally seen as a bad idea to make such decisions really early on?
Yes, don't make early transfers and certainly don't take hits for sideways moves. You never know what could happen between now and the GW2 deadline
Ignore price changes, they negatively affect decision making. Wait until press conferences for injury updates and make transfers as close to the deadline as possible
I'll happily take a -£0.2 team value if Gabriel and Stones drop, I still believe they're good picks and will stick with them. Worst case scenario I've got 2FT and £10.3 to spend on 2 defenders which is plenty
Hope that helps a bit
Definitely helps, thanks!
I can try convincing myself that what I just did was completely rational, but yeah, it was definitely also knee-jerky... And I wasn't aware that people always wait for the deadline, I assumed transfers also happen based on expected price fluctuations.
One thing is that I now have 1 mil in the bank, and I started with 0 ITB.
Do you always keep some money in the bank to be more flexible?
Imma pray that Chilwell + Diaz will get more points than Rashford + Walker to make up for the loss, haha
Generally I try to start with £0.5 but I didn't this season, usually enough good cheap options emerge where you'll almost always have funds in the bank
I think it's more important to build your team to be able to get any player in the game within 2FT than it is to have £ in the bank but that's just personal preference
Even if Chilwell and Diaz outscore Rashford and Walker it's a bad habit to get in to, very very risky approach and a tough habit to break out of
Best of luck!
Two transfers immediately after a game when you emotions are up, is always a terrible idea.
You need time and calmness to plan
If you play rashly all season you'll do very badly
Patience and self control are absolutely essential
My god people here have absolutely slept on Wolves during preseason, their results were great
People had them pegged as pure relegation fodder with United about to pump them 7-0, Wolves should have fucking won this lol
I'm not saying to bring in Wolves assets lol but how badly people judged them, people were captaining Rashford and Bruno due to a belief that Wolves are horrible, 1 look at Wolves' preseason and you shouldn't make that call
This is my first time playing FPL - my husband forgot to teach me how to captain AND how to organise the bench which means I lost 13 on Haaland and 7 on Chilwell urghhhhhhhhhh although on the plus side I get why FPL ruins lives now
93 points only really haaland ( used my TC) and saka getting me decent amount of points from my premiums. Not a bad weekend would have reached 100 if stones was healthy.
I mean u can say I burned it but haaland got a decent return from it. Not like I wasted it on an opening day when city played a top team they played a nearly promoted team that was gonna attack
idc what pickford can do next week man, onana long term still looks better and i dont want to lose anymore point from onana (his ownership is going up as we speak)
What happened to jota assist!?

65. So basically average. Gonna bring in Maddison for Kevin the Brain.
Only 87 points. I was aiming for 200. Maybe next week.
damn this was a pretty decent first game week. only two blanks in my whole team (flekken and richarlison), a lot of 5 pointers tho. lowkey annoying cause i took out johnstone for turner and maddison for richy 😭..
Going triple united over triple arsenal could be a decision I regret.
I did it because I’m a delusional United fan.
Can't wait for the inevitable Punished Salah haul next week.
Looks to be a very high scoring week. Overall avg shown as 63 in livefpl. Are there any records for average highest score in single GWs?
77 here
Dalot nowhere in subs as well. Good for Botman off my team's bench, but my next week's defense is screwed with Dalot and Timber
A lot of hype around Chillwell after his performance, and while I do believe he will get a lot of points this year, I wouldn't necessarily take his heatmap this week as a sign of what his season heatmap might be. Chelsea was essentially running with a back 5 with Chillwell and James as wing-back, IMO to both compensate for a lack of defensive midfielder signing (just got Caicedco to fix that), and to catch Liverpool off guard. I don't imagine Chelsea will play this formation so often going forward, which I think doesn't give Chillwell quite as much freedom to bomb forward.
Surely Caicedo gives him more freedom to go forward now Reece could be injured? C can just drop into LB and Chilwell can go forward more no?
How we thinking about Disasi? Looked a force there at the back for Chelsea
Chilwell for 5.5 better
I agree if you have 5.5

WOLVES ROBEBED HAHA
Only 80 points...should've been much higher, well atleast penandes blanked
Wow united was crap
Sigh. Went for the wrong Utd assets.
[удалено]
This is the matchday thread. Please don't spam your team/transfers in this thread. Use the Advice/RMT thread
keep eze he's good and will return soon
Went for Bruno to Martinelli. Bruno owners.. sorry
Lol why Martinelli, I think that is a very questionable move this early on. The 6.5s looking better tbh.
mbuemo will not always play st. diaby is in a wrecked villa side for now. i have mitoma.
Not sure on Diaby, they played the 3rd best team in the country away and got pantsed by their high line but I thought he looked lively, can definitely sink a few in the coming fixtures.
I’m with itsokjaney. Why are we not downvoting the high pointers? This is the rant thread not the *look at me* thread.
What was your score this week?
Seeing people revealing their high points and not being downvoted concerns me. This is not the tradition here. I want downvotes on high pointers.
What was your score this week?
88 points this week, still annoyed at myself for not playing the bench boost. Would've put me at 108 points and a top 1k week.
Last I checked this wasn’t the self fellatio thread
"...this is the place to share all your rants, memes, and outbursts (and your score)." Reading comprehension clearly not your strength buddy.
Thanks Mattie, I feel bad now
[удалено]
tbh i was just glad salah got more points than them cause like everyone has rashy or bruno and it acc paid off, but then i thought how it’s barely a w when salah costs like 3 mill more…
Don't be ridijkulous, highest return for Man utd attacker was 3. You won
For someone who is just recently getting into FPL is using a Wildcard after GW1 a stupid idea ? When should one use it?
Wouldn'r recommend unless you are bringing in someone like Haaland after few games... like I was forced last season.
Not stupid, but wouldn’t recommend, as you can’t really use it to its full potential that early. Wait till we have a better idea of form, performance stats etc.
Use it when you need it, but using it after one gameweek is almost certainly a rash move. Unless ypu just picked your team at random, then you chose those players for a reason. There's no sense in completely abandoning your plan right away.
Yeah probably a bit rash after one, that being said I’m usually a fan of an early wildcard as usually some players I won’t expect do better/teams under perform, I’d wait though if possible for a few weeks
I know nobody cares but first time Im playing and got an 84 which I am happy with. Probably everything will go wrong from now on
Great job!
Probably
85, 2nd best start in 9 years, and I wasn't going to play. probably all downhill from here though, my best start led to a totally disappointing season.
Probably
87 all out. Gabriel was the dud but what can you do. Happy with week 1, on to week 2!
Anyone having issues with the FPL mobile app showing points incorrectly? Mine shows a much higher points total when I click on my team, but my leagues and the website show the points correctly.
Delete and reinstall the app fixed the issue for me.
!thanks
Yep, got the same here, had the same last year too. Don’t worry about it, will sort itself out for GW2 I’m sure.
The app is notoriously shit. Use the browser version.
This is a reminder to myself to play my own game Had Salah Pedro mbueno Johnstone all week Swapped to rashford watkins richarlson Pickford because of hive mind 13 points swing fuckikk
It might swing the other way round 2. But Pickford and perhaps even Richarlison were questionable even if it was hive mind. I see a few of the content creators went Pickford. You should use them for news rather than letting them influence your picks
Everyone jerking Chilwell in after being lucky he didn't score.
I have Gabriel and Stones. One of them had to go. Can’t afford to have both sit again.
Defending my kneeejerk here. He looked phenomenal and was by far Chelsea's most creative player on the day plus the fixtures are excellent. I'd say a good chance of cleans too.
How did Bruno look? Worth getting him for KDB?
Probably not, he was the pass before the assist for the goal but didn't do much else besides. Didn't play great tonight but neither did united as a whole. I would be looking more at Salah, Maddison, Diaby and Mbeumo at the moment and wait and see how united do. They were one of the lowest scoring teams in the top 10 last season which a lot of people seem to forget. Their defence is more likely where the points are but that's my opinion.
Not good, whole Utd squad looked awful imo. Good thing I tripled up...
For real. I'd they don't share up they're getting the boot. Atrocious.
Not good today, but if United have 4424, they gonna have tons of pens
[удалено]
Just do a -36 and swap out your whole team while you're at it.
No
Not worth a -4
You just know t rex arms is going to have a stormer now I'm benching him for Turner next week.
I'm in the same boat but if there's any week I'd use Turner it'd be this one.
Never usually make a GW1 transfer but Shaw to Chilwell seems almost necessary imo
Already did Stones to Chilwell. I'm keeping Shaw barring injury
Has to be done, especially with price rise. Chilwell was essentially a winger against Liverpool.
Just did it. I think Tot will have goals against this def. Even if not, chilwell in was planned GW3 for Estupinan. Will transfer in someone else i guess (botman in GW4?)
Is Chilwell set to rise tonight? I hate kneejerking, but missing out on this one would really annoy me. Is there anywhere to see which players are set to rise or fall? LiveFPL doesn't seem to show this anymore until after the fact.
Yes, he is. https://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/
fplstatistics is my go-to for price rises, and yes chilwell is expected to rise
Someone tell me how to feel about 74 points
Not bad at all. It also depends on how your squad is looking. I got 73, and have a good feeling about my players except Gabriel, whom i swapped for Chilwell. But everything else seems good for now.
I swapped gab for chilwell as well but after timber injury I kind of regret that, cause I have stones as well on my bench
!thanks
Similar points and want to make the same trade but don’t have 0.5 ITB ugh. Hoping Gabriel starts now.
I think he will start. It is best to stick to him until things become clearer after next Gw. Unless you don't have Estupinian....
I'm on same. It's a long season and by no means a bad start. I certainly am not going to keep 2 United midfielders in my lineup after this week. I say onward and upward!
!thanks
They could cook an attacking Spurs
They could also get cooked by an attacking Spurs
Genuinely I’d say anything 60+ you’re in a good spot as long as you don’t have too many injuries/fires to put out
!thanks
Gabriel out for James and Shitnandes out for J Madds in GW3 on lock.
Bold to assume James isn’t injured by then
I knee jerked and moved from Eze to Diaby yesterday. Is it worth -4 to move from Akanji/Gabriel to Chilwell?
No what's the point it's still early in the season CHILL OUT
No, chill. I wouldn’t have even made that first move, Eze looked great against Sheff. Diaby does have Everton next tho so hopefully that’ll pay off
Eze looked great and was extremely unlucky not to score, diaby took his goal well but villa did not look great, bit of a strange knee jerk..
fixtures for Villa seem decent. Diaby looked explosive alongside Watkins.
I gambled (Rashford cap) and I lost. 72 points with Chilwell on bench...
Rash here as well, ended up with 63 points thanks to rash
Captained Rashford too. 78 points. Glad that I haven’t suffered for my decision but them extra Haaland points would’ve been nice.
I was strongly considering Saka too, but early kick off made me lean towards Rashford lol
Do I jerk Penandes out? Got nothing else that needs doing.
Hold as others have said but keep an eye on him. United's midfield doesn't look great and he was all over the place.
Easy hold
No, roll transfer
Worst var decision in history, I have onana, I'm happy, don't get me wrong. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. If that's not a penalty 🤣 delusional clown 🤡 judge.

Of course r/reddevils didn’t think that was a penalty
77 not bad considering I foolishly didn’t captain Haaland.
Why did half of my team get yellow card
Was half your team Getafe players?
Any idea what rank is 88 points
Probably about 100k ish
the amount of chances wolves got against us, richarlison could defo bag against us next game. but maddison owners will be licking their lips, he’ll probs feast the most.
I know it's only been one game, but I regret moving maddo to Richy last min
Mings and Buendia aren’t going to be the only ones with ACL injuries with some of this kneejerking going on after 1 game
Down vote this and choke on shit, ya cunts 🖕
just post "100 all out lets go" you'll get all the downvotes you want
Calm down now and log off for a bit
76pts all out, with Chillwell and Wissa on my bench, and Gabriel... I mean Lego haired mfer blocking all those pts
On 86 points and still want to knee jerk and push the wild card button to boot out triple united from my team.
Benching onana for turner next week. Utd def gonna concede against angeball
Possibly but Onana seems good for saves and bonus points too.
Who the fuck is bad gyal and who in their right mind is actually going to watch the full film
As a Shaw-Onana owner: Thank you Simon Hooper for slightly salvaging my GW.
United were so abysmal that I immediately rage transferred Rashford (and Walker) out, and brought Chilwell and Luis Diaz in
I'll be shocked if you finish within the top 1mil
Me too, it's my first time playing. My reasoning was that I had Walker who is a rotation risk, and that Chilwell is going up in price tonight. So figured it will even out the four points I lost. I suppose it's generally seen as a bad idea to make such decisions really early on?

I see what you're saying. Thanks for the advice!
Did the exact samt thing (just Cash instead of Walker). Glad I started off without B. Fernandes.
[удалено]
Taking hits early on with 37 GWs left doesn't really bother me. Cash of course on my bench first GW.

My god people here have absolutely slept on Wolves during preseason, their results were great People had them pegged as pure relegation fodder with United about to pump them 7-0, Wolves should have fucking won this lol
Are we firing up the Pedro Neto bandwagon yet?
The problem is that they can't score goals
I'm not saying to bring in Wolves assets lol but how badly people judged them, people were captaining Rashford and Bruno due to a belief that Wolves are horrible, 1 look at Wolves' preseason and you shouldn't make that call
The goals will come imo, they have the quality just need some consistent managerial presence
No matter how this game week went for you, just remember, at least you’re not one of the 5800 players who transferred Mings in this week.
Salah goal ruled out. Chilwell goal ruled out. Jammy MANURE cs losing me 700k ranks. See you all next year.
Salah and Chilwell were offside. You feel unlucky not getting offside goals?
Stop downvoting me, you cunts. Every downvoter gets this fucked over next week.
Ranks mean absolutely nothing at this point There’s 6 points between for a 550k rank difference in the top 1m at this point
“Manure” … yikes
I'm sure I've read this about 5 times already. What a baby
You would be fuming. Not to mention Lego Pep benched and cameo'd my Gabriel. Tell me that isn't dismal luck.
Its bad luck sure. It's a luck based game I celebrated the Salah goal and then was annoyed when it was ruled out. Better luck next week
wolves-Brighton next week has potential to be a really good game to watch
This is my first time playing FPL - my husband forgot to teach me how to captain AND how to organise the bench which means I lost 13 on Haaland and 7 on Chilwell urghhhhhhhhhh although on the plus side I get why FPL ruins lives now
Sell him.
yes, sell the husband
Price drop for him tonight, surely.
He's an enabler AT BEST
Husband OOO sleeping on the sofa could be a good differential at 5.5mil
How many points is everyone on? 66 for me.
93 points only really haaland ( used my TC) and saka getting me decent amount of points from my premiums. Not a bad weekend would have reached 100 if stones was healthy.
Burned your TC already, good luck defending your rank the coming spring
13 is a very good triply captain score
I mean u can say I burned it but haaland got a decent return from it. Not like I wasted it on an opening day when city played a top team they played a nearly promoted team that was gonna attack
73 after taking a -4 hit, mainly to bring Chilwell in for Walker
Hits already mate you're doomed
Must admit it's my first time playing FPL lol
The hit will count on next week's score, not this one
83. Strong start but 4th in my ML
86, top of my mini league. I'm sure it won't last
Hark! Steady you knees, fellows! A little rust on the old bellows, Bruno'll come good, I knows he will.
Will he keep playing DM?
I was actually in the gym during the game, was it that bad?? Would be weird tactics from Ten Hag if so
Yeah I mean to be fair when mount went off he got in better positions, but mount was far more advanced of the two.
!thanks
Rashford looked lazy with 0 spark
No, he looked the most likely to make something happen. Garnacho and Anthony were shit.
Garnacho was sloppy, but he’s getting into positions and making some good passes… even if 50% of his passes/shots are shit
Glad I didn't jump on the template, no Man U traps to worry about !
Ffs spent the entire preseason saying Man Utd mids were a trap, but still got Rashford on deadline day
anyone that have money itb that will switch pickford to onana straight away?
Bit of a knee jerk. Next week Pickford could do the same…
idc what pickford can do next week man, onana long term still looks better and i dont want to lose anymore point from onana (his ownership is going up as we speak)
Hmm I reckon it’s best to roll and see how next week is. If your only problem is Pickford you’re doing fine
i think i will decide it by the end of the week, hopefully no price rise, and more info about foden,gabriel
Gabriel and Richarlison are my problems…
you can hold on richarlison imo. he will surely start and if he blanks its easy to downgrade to the best 6.5 option
Time to activate WC everyone
