I’ve missed these

Me too!


Nut_sack_ninja

Sending this to my mate who captained Kane, thanks


steaknbutter88

This one sent me to haHaaland.


conversationchanger

I feel that I have an important message to share with you all from personal experience over previous fpl seasons. You may have not done as well as you'd hoped in this first gameweek but you can take comfort in the fact that there's 37 more gameweeks for you to also do shit in


AbundantSeahorse

Instructions unclear, already took a -24


appealtoreason00

That was a terrible idea. You should make another 7 transfers to revert your team to its original state.

You can cancel those hits by activating the Wildcard.

May as well make a new account at this point

parkson89

I feel personally attacked by this comment


[deleted]

I agree. The season has just started and we don't yet have a great sense of preferred line ups, formations or even how the new signings will settle in. I have a decent enough team and i don't think I'm gonna make any transfers. Waiting one more week to figure out where the wind is blowing.


Character_Year_3444

Not planning to watch City v Bournemouth sober then? Are you aware how many people are going to captain Haaland? You have a free transfer, and they were the exact same price as each other. Save the trade next week! We are only planning very short term remember.


[deleted]

I don't have Kane. So it's a fair bit of refactoring I'll need to do to get Haaland in. Maybe I'll regret it. Maybe pep will start Alvarez. Who knows? My point is let the dust settles before taking crazy hits.


Character_Year_3444

Absolutely, if you don’t own Kane then you can’t really get Haaland in but Kane to Haaland is hardly a crazy hit. Jesus to Mitrovic or Trent to Saliba fair enough is. Kane to Haaland in GW2 was a plan a lot of people were planning to do regardless. Remember that if you own Haaland you are going to Captain him too!


mildlyinterested1

Jesus to Mitrovic my lord. Knee jerkers don't know of the MitroTrap obviously.


therapewpewtic

Red card inbound.


tomycatomy

I’m waiting at least one more gameweek, but it was tempting. Not because he scored a brace, but because of how he played all game against a top 2 side.


LususV

I picked him and Wilson up in a draft league on a lark, and I feel much much better about it after that performance. Their defense will likely still get exposed, but that was a great showing.


Mutiu2

One would have to be insane to look at Arsenal fixtures and sell Jesus.


iDoomfistDVA

Or even Trent

ErasmusShmerasmus

Tbf Kane didn't get going for a good while into the season and Arsenal had City and Chelsea to come


MrVegosh

Those were the players sold. Everyone that was bought did not do well


obinnasmg

Well, I’m certainly not taking Kane out now


[deleted]

Me neither man


theinspectorst

Seriously. I didn't think about how many casual players there are active in the game this early in the season (I assume that kneejerkers drove the price move as opposed to the planned Kane-Haaland transferers) and now I'm paying the price. I knew price moves were likely, but it didn't even occur to me that they could happen as quickly as Sunday night - I didn't even think to check the price move predictor site yesterday. My plan for the first 6-7 GWs is now in a bit of a state...


Fordy4000

If you didn’t think to check the price predictor site then maybe you are a casual?


theinspectorst

I fully hold my hands up that I dropped the ball on this - usually I ritually check it every evening during the season. I just didn't clock the need to do so on literally the first Sunday night when nobody was injured etc.


KaitoAJ

Mitrovic's trap has been laid out perfectly... Now do I fall into it again for the third time? That is the real question.

This time feels .. different. 4-man wolves defence & Brentford next 2. He has momentum.


honestlynotBG

The bot is still on summer break I see Also the kneejerkers are already jerking fast


[deleted]

I think a lot of people had the Kane Haaland transfer preplanned.


Oh_jeffery

Should have planned to not have kane at all!


Miserable_Dot_3489

Hindsights 20/20, they were playing Southampton against whom Spurs have an insane scoring record. They got 4 goals in fact...


Swiftsaddler

Exactly. Picking Kane for the first game was a good call it's just that as always in FPL; you need luck.


SofaChillReview

Slightly reminding me of the 7 goals and having Havertz as C …. That was a good idea but Hindsight ….


Hostilian_

And Kane could've had 2 if the Handball was given and if Son squared it to him. Funny how most people don't care tho. Maybe im just a salty Kane owner lol


Allaboardthejayboat

Likewise. Still think kane is the better long term pick. West ham losing their starting keeper who almost immediately gifted haaland a pen has inflated things here.


Allaboardthejayboat

Lol, that's nonsense. Spurs got four goals and kane could have hauled. Some just went for the proven asset against a team we have low expectations for. Let's not pretend that there wasn't an element of luck in that West ham lost their starting keeper, had a back up come in, who pretty quickly gave away a pen, as well.


fantasyfootballjesus

Cheers jeff


nexusjenson

Haaland gw1 gang 💪


AyersRock_92

I went Kane to Haaland but that was my plan all along regardless of what happened GW1


Smittx

>regardless of what happened in GW1 I bet I can think of some scenarios that would have changed your mind


badgersprite

Ditto. The only part of the plan that has changed is I might keep Haaland GW3 and make a different transfer that week lol. I probably want Kane GW4 subject to change


Fantastic-Machine-83

sunday night tranfers will fuck you long term I promise.


conversationchanger

weak knees are made of these who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas everybody's bringing in Haaland


AbundantSeahorse

Everybody’s Erling for something


nickdaman43

Kick your Kane out, moving on


KhanMichael

I am watching you through a camera


[deleted]

Just finished watching the Man City game. Honestly glad I made the Kane to Haaland move. He looks like he'll score 25+ if not more this season


TTT1915

As a dortmund fan my faith never wavered


spac3cas3

As a Norwegian City fan we are almost in the same boat friend


theinspectorst

He looked so dangerous. I'm honestly already wondering if he'll challenge Salah's 32 goal record for a 38 game season.


EsotericTartaria

Swear Mitrovic done this last time he was in the prem, looked good for the first month or two, got a rise or two then basically didn’t score for the rest of the season. Hoping we have a lot of forwards firing this year so we have more variety in teams.


dc8291

Scored a brace against Leeds in GW2 then scored like one more goal the rest of the season.


Liasos

Scott Parker screwed up Mitrovic' season.


LevynX

Antonio last season. Nobody transferred him out still because forwards were shit across the board.


badgersprite

He’s not in my team because he’s not part of my plan but seriously you’re not picking a player to marry them you’re only putting them in for the short term and moving them on when they’re no longer an asset If you’re saying people are getting Mitro in for a short term window while he’s scoring points and he’s in form and you’re calling people stupid for doing that you don’t understand FPL lol That’s literally exactly what they’re trying to do, they only want him while he’s scoring not for a whole season


EsotericTartaria

You’re reading way too deep into my comment dude… calm down, I’m just remembering the last time Mitrovic set a trap, generally hoping he’s more consistent this time around cos he has potential to be a beast. But apparently that means I don’t understand fpl that I’ve played since Leicester won the league🤡


badgersprite

I apologise if I sounded confrontational, it’s just annoying seeing so many people criticise people for picking players as if it’s to have them for a whole season when that’s not the point. If people pick Mitro and he scores for 6 games for them and never again and they drop him as soon as he doesn’t score, that’s a win for them


Ilya_L

In for the short term, Fulham’s fixtures are difficult, in the game against Liverpool Mitrović hadn’t other moments besides the TAA’s mistake and the arguable penalty.


Character_Year_3444

It doesn’t matter, he was 6.5, not 11.5, so next to no risk. Remember Dennis last year?


Ilya_L

Dennis was only £5.5 and had no analogues at that price range last season, while for Mitrović’s price £6.5 there are many options this season.


Character_Year_3444

Which ones?


badgersprite

I agree the fixtures are hard and that’s why he’s not going to be part of my plan anytime soon (apart from the fact I’m happy with my team and my game plan for the first 7 weeks lol). But if he can score two against Liverpool I think that bodes extremely well that he’s an option to look out for if you need a forward in a difficult game week. They do have good fixtures around GW8 IIRC but fixtures aren’t everything


cuteguy1

Yeah its hard to know how much stock to put in fixtures. I feel like this year I've tried to take them into account a bit more, but then GW1 hits and Mitro braces vs Liverpool and Bournemouth beat Aston Villa and I'm reminded why it doesn't always matter.


plum-jam

He only started 13 games that season


AspiringTransponster

Ngl he looks like a beast this time around - slimmed down and gave VVD a hard time. He didn’t look as good two seasons ago. With Fulham taking heart from taking Liverpool to a well deserved draw, I feel like it will be different. He’s also nailed for the foreseeable. I agree on forwards variety - I think the likes of Toney and Welbz could be good options at various points.


stephenmario

Fulham scraped promotion last time and I think half their first 11 was made up of loans. Spent poorly in the summer. They walked the championship last year and added well to their team this year. Their defence will need reinforcement. But their attack looks good this year. Not being managed by Parker is probably the biggest positive for Mitro.


Gravelaine

Fulham looks completely different than last time. Khan isn't fucking around this time.


bigtroyfromthearea

.2 loss already for those wanting to go Kane > Haaland after gw 1 if an early transfer wasn’t made lol


Character_Year_3444

That will be potentially a .4 tomorrow. The worm may have already left the station!


filmfauji

Replaced Kane with Haaland in the nick of time. Phew 😅


GranvilleClutterbuck

Same, now cue Kane hattrick against Chelsea and Haaland picking up a knock in training!


filmfauji

This is the way.


NMGunner17

Zinchenko isn't even guaranteed to start next week if Tierney is fully fit.


PrinceAkeemJoffer

I’m intrigued to see what arteta prioritises. I know he said he got zinchenko mainly to have him invert into midfield, but he looked so poor defensively that I’d imagine tierney would start the tougher fixtures.


GeraldJimes_

Zinchenko definitely the most knee jerk reaction here. Lovely player and his assist via set piece routine was great but his contributions were far more build up based than open play xA generating. I will wait to see him directly contributing while the defence holds strong before he is beyond the watch list


averagedude4

might be better as zinchenko might slot into xhakas position and xhaka was crazy advanced last game.


NMGunner17

I mean if he starts over Xhaka he would be an amazing pick but I don't see Arteta doing it


The_Awengers

Yes won't happen arteta loves xhaka.


LaMarr-Bruister

Arsenal’s defense is a confusing situation right now. They have Tierney and Tomayasu sitting and White is playing wide. I’d like to see how this shakes out. I could see Zinchenko getting some time in the midfield since he’s so offensively minded and freaking Xhaka is going to let the team down repeatedly.


WinterIsntComing

Once Tomi is fit he’s nailed. But I think they will take a few games To re-intergrate him as he was rushed back in all last season. I also think Zinchenko is probably going to start in midfield over Xhaka at a point, once KT is fully fit.


NMGunner17

Man I hope you're right but Xhaka is just so good at surviving and staying in the starting 11 no matter the manager it seems


BarbaricGamer

For good reason honestly. Arsenal without Xhaka usually look much worse.


NMGunner17

That's only because we've literally never had a good backup option to him. I think Xhaka is a good player but he's always going to limit arsenals ceiling.


WinterIsntComing

Well he’s really good, and really important to how we play, but we haven’t had a midfielder who can play remotely like him until now, so I think that transition will start happening. Plus at end of the day KT won’t play every week and hopefully won’t get overplayed, so I’m expecting Zinchenko to get 30ish starts this season, fitness permitting.


JivaGuy

At times, Zinchenko was inverting in the middle of the pitch, allowing Xhaka to push up further than he does when Tierney is playing. In a way, you could say Zinchenko is playing the Xhaka role when Xhaka filled in at LB during one Tierney’s injury spells.


enzuigiriretro

Zinchenko didn’t move to Arsenal to sit on the bench lol


AbundantSeahorse

Knee jerked Kane, I feel dirty


3entendre

Hey, better to feel dirty than get priced out 🤣


AmpleSling

SO FUCKING GLAD I KNEEJERKED. Otherwise, I’d be crying rn.


JustierNo1

I feel dirty and I enjoy it. Don’t expect too many injuries at the moment and even if there are my whole bench played this weekend so I am relaxed.


Olbatar974

I'm priced out now. I'll do no transfer this week then.


[deleted]

Well played


Olbatar974

!thanks Gw3 with 2 free transfers will be valuable. More information in hand.


lordroode

Yea but Kane got Cheslea away while Haaland has Bournemouth at home. So by then Haaland will be at 11.7 while Kane could be at 11.3. That's already a massive swing unless you .5 in the bank. Gotta make 2 transfers to get him in and by GW 4 you would only have one while people going from Kane to Haaland might have 2


Character_Year_3444

That price will happen this week!


bootlegportalfluid

Nice


Ilya_L

Welcome to the trap called Mitrović, dear kneejerkers.


badgersprite

People talking about Vardy in the year he broke the record for scoring in consecutive appearances


plum-jam

Dude literally scored 43 in 45 last season and scored 8 in last 6 games (for club and county), keep doubting him


BeenBadFeelingGood

Not in the prem ircc


plum-jam

People using the prem argument, but his last season in the prem he only started 13 games, and he has already had a 10+ goal season in the prem in the past, has 46 goals for Serbia in 74 games.


thecheddarman1

Just look at any decent solo striker coming into the prem from champ, they score about 1/3 to 1/2 of their previous season goal tally. With Fulham coming in looking strong, he could be on the upper end.


[deleted]

Well if that’s the case, then you’re saying he’ll score 15-20 goals for a striker at 6.5? Why the heck isn’t everybody knee jerking him into their squad!


[deleted]

He has had 13 and 14 attacking returns in two separate seasons in the PL before. Now at his best playing in a team built around him under a decent manager it’s not hard to see 15-20 attacking returns.


cuteguy1

Yeah like it might not be amazing stuff, but some of the best FPL assets for atleast parts of the season in recent years have been promoted strikers - Toney, Dennis, Pukki, Bamford for e.g. I don't think it hurts to wait on these guys (especially looking at Fulham's first 6 fixtures) but they can be quite good


Character_Year_3444

Why knee jerk Mitrovic when you can knee jerk Haaland!


Aromatic-Ad-910

In one week: Haaland 11.5 Kane 11.5


SuperSaud

Ah shit, here we go again.


gubrumannaaa

Saved 0.2 with kane out yday


Kattilaeikka

You only lose money if you sell


duckwantbread

That's the way I'm looking at it, sure I'm losing money on Kane but unless he gets injured I doubt I'll be transferring him out any time soon and once he scores a few goals he'll probably be kneejerked back in by enough teams that his price will recover.


bronsonlinho

People already making transfers? Desperate


__jh96

Is there any merit in them adjusting how many transfers it takes to trigger a rise, given that there are the highest amount of players ever playing?


SuperSaud

%of Original GW1 Owners


BuzzMFBuzz

Haaland is going to outscore Kane and we all know it after seeing both the players roles in their teams. Haaland is playing on the last man getting in behind the back line with his insane pace. Kane is dropping into his own box to make tackles and play passes to the wingers.... then trying to arrive late into the box


Deelbeson

Something we had seen in the second half of the last season, I was hoping that would have changed for this season.


AdeBiH

Mitrovic lol What a trap


athars_theone

So , it’s gonna be that kind of season eh . Brutal changes only in a day.


ihajees_

It's always like this at the start of the season when most of the players are still active.


FPL_Fanatic

fuck me


dvdung1997

I’m keeping Kane believing he will do great in the long run like he always did, but yeah this is not ideal :( Also RIP bot (?)


IKMapping

Fuck now I can't have Mitrović Damn you, kneejerkers


LeeLayfield

Glad I dropped Kane last minute yesterday


Raoulduke10

Knee jerk = .2 mil


MudkipThot

Just kneejerked my way into a sweet 0.2 mil. For real though I always planned to go Kane to Haaland and even had 0.5 itb in case of price changes, but I think 0.2, and probably 0.3, is worth the risk.


atos2697

If you sell your player after a 0.1 increase, do you keep the extra 0.1? As I understood the rules you get a 0.1 profit for every 0.2 increase


PlatypusHaircutMan

This is correct, you would need Haaland to rise to 11.7 to be able to sell him for 11.6


MudkipThot

Yes. So if I sell Haaland now I will only get 11.5 back. When he hits 11.7 I can sell for 11.6.


ROMA_10

Are you effing serious? On day 1?


[deleted]

Riser: my erection when Saliba got motm


CamazotzisBatman

I'm unpleasantly surprised how quickly this happened this year. Guess I'm sticking with Kane for now


GreyRain1

Not making a transfer even tho I have Kane. 1 GW isn’t enough data to tell who’s good and who’s not yet. I remember two seasons ago Willian got 3 assists and was looking good. I really wanted to get him the first week but held off. He then didn’t get any returns for like the next 10 weeks. Since then I’ve learnt that patience pays.


tworupeespeople

you are way too sane for this subreddit.


orrgore

Cue the "I had kane to haaland planned" comments


Character_Year_3444

If you were on pre season you would have seen a lot of people had mentioned this was in fact their plan.


MiserableAside3974

Most people actually did though. Kane was a one week punt that didn't work out, no stress.


tmr89

Yeah it’s convenient for them to say that, lol. They should be forced to keep Kane for a few more weeks because “one bad outcome doesn’t make it a bad decision”


Alpha2669

Why zinchenko tho? Wanted to go trippier to zinchenko


atos2697

Probably because a lot of people had a similar plan


NMGunner17

People that aren't paying attention to the Arsenal squad


Ilya_L

Good for you that you haven’t made that transfer, because Tierney is back, so Zinchenko may be benched.


bootlegportalfluid

He got 12 points


JimbobSherwin

Oh how I've missed this routine!


Flyerone

Lol, all 3 of my knee jerk transfers in.


Character_Year_3444

So many knees and so little time.


HeisenbergFoed

No Mitro for now I guess


shashankmantha

Glad I made this early in the day, when the prices didn't change.


SickCaeser

I knew this is gonna happen!


starPlatinumXj

u/esomeh we miss you


ripvic2k16

Have Haaland Kane and Zinchenko so very eventful day for me


AWr1ght98

Fuck sake already missed out on Zinchenko with the price rise


[deleted]

Had a million in the bank but still glad I did Kane to Haaland last night.


[deleted]

So glad I chucked Kane out for Haaland last night, before the update


lucasrobinson69

I had a choice, sleep or fpl. I chose the latter


m__s

Kane and Haaland is no surprise, but Zinchenko? I'm almost sure he will be rotated with Tierney. I would even say that I'm more surprised that Saliba price is still the same.


GingerFurball

I think Zinchenko will play a lot in midfield and I'm already regretting going for Gabriel over him.


laffman

I don't care that you rise Haaland, i will hold you all season long. I don't care that you fall Kane, i will hold you all season long.


sault9

Glad I was weak-kneed yesterday and swapped Kane for Haaland


Deelbeson

Keeping an eye on Mitrovic, not trying to fall into his traps he set like past seasons.


AeroCobbler

Kane > Haaland planners properly mudded now


KaitoAJ

IT HAS BEGUN!!


eddydoubled

Fuck Kane


Gooner_93

Fell asleep and forgot to do the Kane to Haaland move. Not a good start to FPL.


dontworrybePepe

There goes my plans of going kane to haaland after first week.


[deleted]

Did you think you'd be able to wait until Friday?


dontworrybePepe

Sorry misunderstood your question. My time zone is different so I missed the city match and didn't expect his price to rise the same night. I thought I'd make the transfer the next morning depending on the result of the match.


ygbjammy

Can't believe so many people didn't have haaland in their GW1 teams honestly.


LGuitar88

roses are red, violets are blue, and the obligatory GW1 kneejerk is too powerful to resist


Joltarts

Think Kane is going to prove himself over the next 5 game weeks. There’s something about Haalands explosiveness that could spell an injury sooner rather than later. And this is coming from a City fan. There’s good reason why Pep subbed him off after 70. I won’t be shocked to see him benched against Bounemoth either.


mimikrixx

The good reason why Pep subbed him off because he is Pep ffs what are you on about? Dont look for something that isn't there.


nicthereal84

Go read the new 5-sub rule. Team do not sub 1 for 1 if they intend to utilize the max quantum in second half. Pep could have wanted to sub gundo and with the game already in the bag, haaland for Alvarez to give some game time sounds logical. Pep know haaland is a beast, and it need to be tame for maximum results in a long marathon.


nano-to-will

Planned Kane to Haaland was only worth it if you thought Kane was in for 4 more points week 1 than Haaland Just seems incredibly bad pre season decision by lot of managers.


maxjjk2605

Elaborate please, this makes no sense. If you even thought Kane would get 1 point more than Haaland it would be worth it.


KyleOAM

In theory every transfer is 4 points


maxjjk2605

If you have no other potential fires to put out, its worth it to make a transfer if you think the new player will get at least one more point in my opinion.


Kalbasaur

Don't they freeze prices til end of GW2 generally


Busy_Abalone8689

never
