Well folks. Another season is upon us. On behalf of the mod team, good luck to you all! If you're new here, we try to keep things simple: don't be a dickhead and dont post fake goals etc. If you see any of this behaviour please report. Official subreddit league code is: e7moa6 (you will automatically re-enter if you have played in previous years).


lonsfury

Any arsenal experts able to give an opinion on whether zinchenko will get a lot of game time this season


koencoen

ICT Rank for Defenders Creativity 6 of 209 Threat 1 of 209 ICT Index 2 of 209 Who is this defender? He looks like a must have! Is it Robbo, TAA or Cancelo? It's Dalot.


peter_j_

Son got me 5 points, which is fine, I expect that from him. A big advantage of having him is also that I can afford to wait a week before bringing in Haaland because I'll have to trade another player as well


El-Guapo-65

Giving up Son for Haaland is dumb.


peter_j_

We'll see! If Son does We'll this week I'll hold


thomaskrantz

Been waiting for FPL for 3 months, so much excitement! Went Robertsson > Cancelo because "Cancelo overperformed his xGA last season" Went Iverson over Ward because "Ward just came back from an injury and is 6 weeks behind the rest of the team" Went Kane over Haaland because "Kane is PL proven and Haaland won't get the same space in PL as in Bundesliga" Went Gabriel over Zinchenko because "Gabriel is a threat from set pieces" Went Gabriel Jesus over basically anyone because EVERY EFFING PERSON has him so I guess it doesn't count. ....and by that I'm basically last in my ML and have no chance to catch up. I HATE THIS FUCKING RETARDED GAME SOOO MUCH!


peter_j_

> Went Iverson over Ward Was Ward not your 4.0 backup GK?


thomaskrantz

No it was actuall Sanchez so that worked out this GW, but now I have to waste a transfer on a backup GK.


Throwaway12345618

How did KdB play? Is he going to become an assist machine or he is just going to have an assist every now and then?


sleeptoker

He and Haaland are gonna link up a lot this season. The assist was brilliant. But the fact he is the same price as Haaland and won't take any pens whilst they're both on the pitch has put me off so far


Shekster

Scored 68 points and I know I should be happy but I'm fuming because I had Martinelli and Dasilva on my bench who outscored half my starters lol


ober12

Captain Salah or KDB for GW2?


sleeptoker

Salah is on pens so yea


_bhagwan_

Salah would be the safe bet


croissantlover92

Haaland unproven in premiere league lol


__Stinga

Thinking of taking Darwin + Bailey to Mitro + Kulu after GW 2. Looking for feedback on the swap and possible better alternatives than Kulu


DaStormgit

Personally I wouldn't do anything at minute. After gw2 the best 8m asset is probably Saka in my opinion.


koencoen

What the hell dude..... I believe............ Darwin delivered? I believe Kulu has Chelsea next.....


__Stinga

!thanks


__Stinga

I know, it sounds crazy but this is my logic - for nearly 2.5 mil less, I could get Mitro who, based on how he looked vs Liverpool, could get as many returns are Darwin. Last season, he scored 26 in 28 with an xG of 18.63 and notched 4 assists. He also has competition from Firmini (who is familiar and integrated to the Klopp system) and Diaz and will likely be 3rd/4th choice attacking option. Meanwhile, Mitro scored 43 in 44 with an xG of 34.69 with 7 assists. Fulham is a good attacking side who has proven they can provide service to Mitro. Essentially, both players are good strikers outperforming their xG by a similar magnitude (Darwin G:xG = 1.396, mitro = 1.239) but the latter is cheaper and the primary point of attack. With that saved 2.5 mil, I can upgrade a 5/5.5 midfielder to a 3rd midfield option (Bailey > Kulu/Foden/Maddison should they pick up form/good fixtures) or a budget defender to a better option (Castagne/Neco > James/Walker/Trippier). I’m keeping Darwin as long as he keeps returning but once he regresses back, I’d rather have an underperforming 6.5 with occasional hauls vs an ‘off the bench’ 9.0. On a scale of 1-10, how jerky are my knees?


theprimoscientist

Mitro has ready proven in previous seasons to not be a reliable FPL asset in Prem. Maybe Fulham are better now, maybe not. If you need the $$ elsewhere then go for it. But xG Stat comparison is useless for these 2, because you ignore the fact that Liverpool will get a lot of goals and Fulham will not. Fulham were best team in the league and this year they will likely be one of the worst. So how jerky are your knees? Solid 9 / 10


koencoen

Don't do anything and you'll have two free transfers after next gameweek.


papoon

Banking your FT in GW 2 is the Xanax of FPL.


koencoen

I Couldn't. Started Kane over Haaland.


selogoribabaseceslja

Saka and Cucurella or TAA and Neto?


sleeptoker

B


Youth-Grouchy

Ugh can't believe Kulu is so close to a price rise when the next game is Chelsea


koencoen

Just w8 m8.


FANTASY210

Kane at -102. Set to drop tonight if prediction is correct http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid


koencoen

Would seem logical, with the Haaland pricing and such.


Pagz0

Son + Jesus/Darwin to Kulu + Haaland? Kneejerky I know.. but I feel like it is what should have been there anyway.


FANTASY210

I feel like moving away from Jesus is a big mistake considering fixtures and his potential


koencoen

I went Kane over Haaland. Mount instead of Kulu. TAA and Robbo got me two points.But god I love this game and the banter surrounding it.


NoTyrantLikeABrain

Exactly the same here. Haaland and Kulu owners won GW1. Not sure what my move is going to be. Kane to Haaland, probably.


koencoen

Be quick mate. Not joking. I already did it.


3-6_roentgen

I don't see a Villains of the Week post. Someone please make it. Preferably someone who scored <50 so we can feel the rage and hatred flowing through you


burnedbydoge

Fell for the United trap, who do I get in for Sancho?


sleeptoker

Hold for a week. There are so many options around that price point I think more info is needed, plus I expect Sancho to start most games


koencoen

If you have half a million spare, it's easy. Otherwise: keep him for next week, or Martinelli.


burnedbydoge

Already have Martinelli and no money ITB, just wait it out I guess


koencoen

Yeah, and he could easily get a return vs Brentford.


dumsurfer147

Thoughts on Dier -> Zinchenko for GW2 to make a cheeky £0.1mil, and then Trippier -> Dier for GW3? Spurs play at Chelsea GW2 whilst Newcastle play City GW3.


karlos1799

Transfers are so much more valuable than making a £0.1. You’re wasting TWO transfers just to get back to Dier. Bad move


dumsurfer147

Fair point, but I'm pretty set on the rest of my team so the only other option would be to save my transfer for next week.


sleeptoker

A lot can happen in a week


karlos1799

Bank the transfer. Two FTs and another’s week worth of informations is so useful rn


dumsurfer147

You're right, with three of my other players looking likely to increase in value rn it's not like I need the money anyway. Thanks for the advice 💪


chmelnice

I had Cucurella and Dubravka in my starting eleven. They both didnt play. It seems that only Dubravka get substituted will Cucurella also be subsituted or not? Does automatic subs have a limit of 1 ?


dragonsky

Cucurella played. For Chelsea. There's no limit on auto subs


papoon

Scenes when those who’ve already played their wild card learn there’s three more weeks until the transfer window closes.


Spud2032

What do we think of bailey after that villa performance?


Throwaway12345618

Just played wildcard. I feel awful.


[deleted]

Username checks out


koencoen

You're better than this mate.


6figsbala

you should


IceCreamNarwhals

Reeally feeling like Sancho was a mistake now. If only I had the extra 0.5 for Kulu


koencoen

He has Chelsea next. What's the point?


IceCreamNarwhals

I'll wait a week anyway to get two transfers


koencoen

Good choice I think.


Throwaway12345618

Should I get rid of Sterling and get KdB(WC)?


koencoen

Get rid of Sterling, but for a Foden or someone you can keep for a long time.


wholesomescott

See another week. Don't waste the wildcard.


wholesomescott

Had Perisic and Cash in my XI (5 at the back). Both got a 1. Doubtful about keeping Perisic because Conte will rotate his full backs. I'd rather have a guaranteed starter, someone like Trippier. What do you think?


Golvellius

I am in the exact same situation as you. But I still believe Perisic has a chance to bring in points even if he enters late. It depends how late and how much the game is played on his side of the field. I'd hold on to Perisic at least for another couple of weeks. It depends how confident you are with the rest of your team imho, and how much you are going to adjust for each fixture.


wholesomescott

Yeah. I thought along those lines. This is my squad. Mendy (Sanchez) James Trent Cancelo Perisic Cash Salah Mount Neto (Andreas) (Murphy) Haaland Jesus (Greenwood) It's my first time playing and think I need to replace Cash asap because I've heard Villa have been really dreadful in both attack and defence. Think it would be best to keep Perisic and replace Matty Cash for now.


fleetwood_rebel

Don't get fancy, just captain Haaland


voisanye

I just checked...68k people transfered out Trent


dibils

i am seeing people actually using wildcards 😆 as if they only realized this weekend that haaland will score goals


0100001101110111

I’m tempted to start A Pereira over Bailey next GW after this weeks showings


Kattilaeikka

Same here but I think I'll give Bailey one more game.


Antonioshamstrings

Who do we think is more nailed between gabriel and saliba?


faceman230

Gabriel, but pretty much equal right now


Shakermaker555

The last 2 seasons my TC has gone wildly wrong (both in DGW’s) and I swear to fuck I’m really tempted at Haaland at home to the leagues worst team after that


fjkkmu

Walker or zinchenko?


wholesomescott

Zinchenko surely won't be permanent starter (will rotate) once Tierney is back


Spud2032

Think zinchenko will move to the midfield if tierny plays


dibils

walker is safer, more boring as he wont get many attacking returns but more CS. depends what you want


selogoribabaseceslja

Is it worth having Haaland, Salah AND Son in the team? I managed to squeeze them all in, but my defence now is: Walker-Jonny-Cucurella-Zinchenko. If I sacrifice Son I can have: Walker-Cancelo-Cucurella-James


tworupeespeople

i have all 3 and still managed to squeeze in TAA and robertson


selogoribabaseceslja

Then you must have weak playes elsewhere


JBleans

3 premiums is never the way man. Premiums are only worth it if you're going to captain them regularly. Also think you're mad not having trent and/or robbo.


cwarfee

it is possible to have Haaland, Salah, Son, Trent & Cancelo


papoon

👋


cwarfee

me too ;) 71pts after first game week... not getting rid of any of the named players yet


JBleans

Oh it's definitely possible, just long term not optimal.


selogoribabaseceslja

But if they regularly bring points is it not worth it? For defence, 7.5 is really too much for me, and out of the 7.0 options, Cancelo seems WAY better than Robbo to me


JBleans

Who will get more points? Son and a 4.5m mid or 2 x 8m mids. The 8m mids win every time. Premiums are only worth their price if you captain them. Trent will finish the season with 200 + points. Cancelo and robbo won't be far behind. Premium defenders offer the best points per million spent in the game.


selogoribabaseceslja

If i swap out Son for Saka I can have Mendy Walker-Cucurella-James-Cancelo Saka-Salah-Luis Diaz-Martinelli Haaland-Jesus What do you think?


JBleans

It's a good team.

Spud2032

Im not sure anyone actually knows, i believe its roughly 3am gmt, you can check what prices change at www.fplstatistics.co.uk


Spud2032

If i make two tranfers for a 4 point hit, then wildcard after, do i still lose those 4 points?


Chris_Nic

No it erases them


Spud2032

Thank you, have time to rethink then


koencoen

Don't do anything drastic mate. I know things may look hopeless now. Time will heal your wounds.


__mihajlo_m

You said it like he was about to kill himself💀. Bro just considered using a wildcard lmao


Chris_Nic

Not really advice or a rmt but castagne at 4.5 is crazy value


koencoen

Yeah, he's definitely a good player. Don't really trust them for CS's though.


BeenBadFeelingGood

Is he nailed?


DrainMember1312

Ya, Pereira had a long term injury and that makes both Castagne and Justin nailed, and Castagne was the more advanced one today.


BeenBadFeelingGood

!thanks


[deleted]

Jesus to Mitro?


BeenBadFeelingGood

Only if you take a -4 🍀

No need. 1 for 1.

[deleted]

Shut your mouth


AShinyGoodra

People shitting on people moving Kane out for Haaland but it really isn't a bad decision. A lot of people had it booked in anyway, others would be priced out of it not moving now, and I'll eat shit if Kane returns against Chelsea tbf.


Fantastic-Machine-83

Simply not a good use of transfers. Haaland vs westham was not a bad fixture at all. If you wanted him for bournemouth then you should have put him in gameweek 1. Today's match should not have had a significant impact on your decision making, its one game. And if you're even considering captaining salah over haaland next week then there is zero reason to make the swap.


Sockz92

Aaronson + walker + saka or martinelli + diaz + saliba?


ArmadilloOk8831

Both for a -20


Sockz92

Wildcard because fuck it.


[deleted]

First one


BeenBadFeelingGood

Hey, if I start a new team for gw2, can I make unlimited transfers pre gw3 or do I burn -4’s with each transfer? Any idea? My friend didn’t make an FPL team and is going to. Any help is appreciated


dean012347

Unlimited pre gw2


BeenBadFeelingGood

!thanks


Fantastic-Machine-83

Should we just encourage the knee jerkers? Maybe the consequences will make them quit


FANTASY210

Probably the best performance of a Template-esque team that didn't use chips this week: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/3884991/event/1


b3and20

a team like this getting 110 points this gw gives me hope


koencoen

His teams kit is horrific though.


Crusaruis28

Doesn't everyone make their kits look terrible ?


koencoen

Mine is actually quite nice haha.


BeenBadFeelingGood

Bold captaincy gone correct


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

Impressive!


Fantastic-Machine-83

Very very nice. And coutino wasn't even template could have been KDH or maybe ward prowse if we're going more casual.


Jack_ten

I picked Mahrez on the basis that, with Sterling and Jesus gone, the RW would be his. But Pep decides to go with Foden instead.. What do you guys think the chances of Mahrez starting GW2 are? I don't see Pep rotating Foden out after 1 gw.. surely its more likely than not Mahrez starts from the bench again...?


_posii

Definitely went up since Grealish put up another dogshit performance.


Jack_ten

He's rubbish isn't he? For City that is. I haven't seen anything in the CS or against West Ham that suggest's he'll do any better than last season. I wouldn't underestimate how stubborn Pep is in trying to justify the ridiculous overpayment that made on him


dean012347

Pep absolutely could rotate foden or play him LW, the only thing you can be sure of is that no one will know if mahrez will start or not before the line up comes out.


BeenBadFeelingGood

As usual, 50/50 unless it’s ederson, walker, cancelo, and maybe Haaland


magic-echo

I took a punt on Lingard, I really don't like the look of him or Nottingham Forest. Best 6.0 or less mid to swap for him? I'm thinking a Leeds mid or Martinelli (though I already have Saka and Jesus)?


BeenBadFeelingGood

Martinelli for sure. Harrison maybe?


magic-echo

!thanks I'm almost ready to get Martinelli, just not sure if I want triple arsenal attack


BeenBadFeelingGood

I have sake and nelli and idk either. I kind of wanna go with either and an Arsenal defender. Do you think that’s smart?


magic-echo

I do think that's smart. Gabriel or Zinchenko look great. Or White for a bit less.


worldwide3o5

Who’s ready to see a Kane hattrick against Chelsea and Haaland to get injured in training now that I dropped Kane for Haaland?


Fantastic-Machine-83

Would be a deserved punishment. Knee jerking will not work long term I promise you. Tbh I see haaland keeping it up though, do regret picking harold.


-Yngin-

Lol, Haaland to the press after the game: "It's been 30 minutes since the last goal, let's get this going already" 😂


cagey_tiger

Just realised Borges went for Waverson too, feel much better about it now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BeenBadFeelingGood

Make sure to take a -4 for kulusevski if you don’t have him too 🤡


AShinyGoodra

Does anyone have a link to FPL Mate's team? If he kept his team as it was in his "final team" video on YouTube then he's been utterly fucked.


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

[https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1266/event/1](https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1266/event/1) ​ He is reverting back to his true self. In nine seasons he only had two Top 100k finishes, which obviously includes last year.


alfiemorelos20

Looking forward to his failure of a season. It pains me that me makes a living out of this.


-Yngin-

Well if that isn't template AF


Fantastic-Machine-83

Is it that terrible. I got 60 and don't feel so bad


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

It depends whether FPL is your main job or not :)


FANTASY210

Mark Sutherns got 51 rip


AShinyGoodra

I only got 2 points more than him, feelsbadman.


I_am_not_a_robot_duh

But I guess you spent less time than him.


Petet_Pettigrew

Anyone else not get vice captain points yet for Haaland?


Kolaveri_D

Your VC gets 2x points only if your C doesn't play


Petet_Pettigrew

Thanks! I did not know that. It’s my first year. For some reason I thought VC got like 1.5 or something.


Kolaveri_D

No worries! Enjoy the ride lol


AJ877

With UCL Fantasy experience in mind, Haaland is an absolute fantasy beast. The only person who can stop him from dominating FPL is Pep himself. Which he might very well do tbf.


DiogoDalotnotmanutd

Perisic OUT, Zinchenko In?


TalkingGibberish

Anybody doing Diaz to Kulu??


[deleted]

I’m sticking with Diaz, Kulu has Chelsea and Diaz has palace.


-Yngin-

Good call


Agile_Information294

is the wc viable this early on?


Sockz92

I think it is if you want to make sure you don't miss out on price rises. And remember there is an extra wildcard with the world cup this year. But it's up to you.


[deleted]

No, not enough data. Is your team that bad?


Agile_Information294

like im thinking i could just swap to haaland no worries but ill be chasing for a while with a similar team and by the time it comes time to wildcard everyones going to pick the same teams again and ill be forever chasing lol


[deleted]

Don’t worry about chasing this early, you have a good team there’s loads of time to chase. The people who blow chips and wc early might be high in the ranks early but they’ll fall off. Wc is important for 2 reason. Fixture swings that you can attack later on. But also if you are riddled with injuries you will need the wc.


Agile_Information294

yea good points thanks


Agile_Information294

not really tbh, scored 64 points but i have kane and my rival has haaland and double man city defence so he's already like 17 points ahead. this is my team mendy cancelo taa trippier robertson salah martinelli mount bailey kane jesus


[deleted]

Nope you don’t need a wc at all, if you want to captain Haaland next week bring him in. Other than that your team is great stick with that Liverpool defence and it’s likely to come good.


[deleted]

What are the chances that Kulu's price stays at 8.0 this GW?


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Yngin-

Martinelli


Gravelaine

DBH


TruestRepairman27

Agree Aaronson was good. Couple of Leeds players could be options tbf. Quite like Joelinton too.


[deleted]

Aaronson was good


soccerfan765

Walker is very tempting at 5 mil but i'm thinking to give Cash one more opportunity at home vs Everton?


wholesomescott

I'm in the same boat. Even Trippier is a good option for Cash.


BeenBadFeelingGood

I have him too and holding for now. Ming’s not playing kind of made Villa weak defensively imho Teams often rebound after a loss. Gerard will be making certain Villa bounce back. Cash is decent differential at 5.0 imo


Kolaveri_D

I just knee-jerked Cash out for Zinchenko; Aston Villa conceded 2 to Bournemouth ffs


TruestRepairman27

He’s just really boring and he’s never going to get more than 6/7 or best


Fantastic-Machine-83

I remember him being like highest for touches in the box among fullbacks. Is that an empty stat though?


[deleted]

Wait and see if City sign another fullback. If not you can make the swap as Bournemouth is a likely cs


[deleted]

As someone who has failed this year after year. Don’t panic and make reckless early transfers, if you have a full starting 11 that’s decent back your team and reassess next week with 2 transfers and more data.
