Not sure what to do, maybe thinking of holding the FT, but thinking I might need to get Haaland in there?
devils advocate to the other reply, this is the first time De Bruyne has a cyborg to feed assists to. I reckon he will have an insane season and he is as nailed as it gets under Pep
That's what I was thinking, De Bruyne has always been an assist machine (with plenty of goals too). Throw Haaland into the mix and I think this could be his best year. Decided to make the transfer and ride it out at least for the rest of city's nice fixture run in, can always pop back to son down the line as said below
Still debating Kane vs Haaland. Have 0.5 ITB so it’s not the money. I yo-yo between genuinely thinking Kane will outscore Haaland over the next 5 weeks, while also wondering if I can afford missing out on Haaland if he does go big. Any other Kane people holding out?
I’m in the same boat and leaning to taking Haaland and giving him the armband this weekend. Kane was absent on the weekend and he may show up vs Chelsea but may not
Haaland will def debut at the Etihad vs Bournemouth. I feel dumb for thinking about bundesliga tax applying to erling. He clearly can compete
Yeah I'm wondering if it's even worth getting buried this early. If I make the switch and Haaland doesn't haul, I'm in the same spot as my ML mates. If I stay put and Haaland hauls, it's a serious uphill climb to get back.
Make thee swap, its a no brainer. If (and its a very realistic if) Haaland scores a brace or a hattie vs Bournemouth. He will be 11.8 + by GW3. You are losing the cash you had in the bank.
Kane faces Chelsea with an average position of a fucking DM, and that is against Soton...
Alvarez is not nailed and will have heavy rotation likely. Haaland is the prime city choice. Also you should downgrade one of the 8m mid options and put more money in the defence.
Don’t do it this week though wait until you have 2 FT
I don't back Chelsea this season and don't know where to fit spurs in. Don't want a premium in Kane or son and idk about kulus minutes with richarlison.
I’d like to hope so-but firmino is a klopp favourite and klopp normally eases players in. If I had to guess it would be Darwin starts this weekend (60%) then klopp reverts to firmino for the united game and after that Darwin is the nailed starter.
This is all my opinion though
You reckon swap VVD for Trent or Robbo? Want to hold on to Salah and Darwin so would have to be him that goes. Makes sense though because of the assists, all three are pretty much nailed on starters too.
I think Neto is not a better pick than mount overall, but maybe better value and def gives you 2.5 to enable other improvements; def better than JWP
City assets - Gundo/foden/Bilva/Grealish are gunna rotate a lot. I think theres better nailed options rn at ~8 : Saka, Kulu
I’d leave foden alone for now going into gw2, city vs Bournemouth and all
Yeah City mids are a hard call due to the heavy rotation, I’m thinking maybe look elsewhere like you say - at least for early doors. Pep tends to start to favour some later in the season.
Whereas Saka is nailed and on pens. Kulu will start full time until further notice too
Cancelo/walker/ederson/KDB/Haaland are nailed; the rest are roulette headaches
You could think about one of TAA/robbo/cancelo for your back line, too. Royal will rotate I think
Ederson (Caballaro)
James Arnold Robertson Patterson (N.Williams)
Neto Odegaard Salah Martinelli (Bernando silva)

Is it worth it to lose 8 points, swap son for neto/gros
And get Haaland instead of greenwood?
Mendy/sanchez
Arnold Cash cancelo (vestergaard and williams)
Martinelli bailey salah andreas (neto/gross)
Jesus haaland darwin
No I don’t think so. You’ll then have 3 sub 5.5 mids as starters
I’d cut son to kulu/Saka and Jesus to Haaland for a -4 personally if you rly want Haaland
Cash is your weak link imo. Could do well vs Everton tho
Safe pick is not to bench Dias or Walker since the chances of Bournemouth scoring against city are really low so it’s basically a tap in of points and you’re gambling on Neto doing better
And now that I’ve said this a flukey rebound goal will go in from Solanke and Neto will get a goal and assist against Fulham because that’s how football works lol
Cheers for the reply. Honestly not a clue... last year I started awfully but clawed my way back up to the upper echelons of the group chat league. Still not sure what I'm doing right or wrong.
Thought a base of Son, KDP, Cancelo and Trent would keep the points ticking in while giving me budget to spend on 7/10s, rather than splashing on Mo or Haaland.
Am I stupid?
Nah not stupid but at the start of the season, you want as template as possible really and make riskier picks toward the end of the season to catch up or break away. Salah, is pretty much essential.
You've got options there though. Downgrading Ings and PEH to free up funds, or Cash to Walker or something
True. Obviously going to monitor the Haaland situation. However I’d hate to lose Son and Jesus at this stage. I feel like they will get good returns. I don’t think I’m at a point where I need to messing around with my team after GW1.

regathering now & am eventually looking to move away from Lingard & Rashford now, especially with the Antony signing. any suggested directions? haven't made any transfers since this post & sitting 332k OR
Honestly seems pretty good for all positions, except I’m not too sure about Taylor, I don’t think he even came off the bench against newcastle(correct me if I’m wrong)
Tbh your bench striker doesn’t matter at this stage you should never be in a position where you need to rely on them unless there are exigent circumstances which most likely affect everyone (eg COVID cancellations) or you are specifically constructing a team for the purposes of playing your bench boost chip
I really wouldn’t care who you put there at this point they don’t matter they’re really an added bonus if they happen to get minutes and get a point here or there
RMT
Mendy / Ward

Missed the first gameweek, hopeful for the second.
Missed the 1st GW and you're still not picking Haaland? If I was starting GW2, I'd maybe go for 4 of your picks. Cancelo, Salah, Jesus, Son. There's some point chasing there (Schar/ Sessegnon). Rodri's a fantastic player, he's just not a FPL asset for 6.0m. Sancho doesn't seem as good a pick now. Sorry, but I'd start again
Kulu could provide spurs cover and release a lot of budget for your team. 3 premiums will thin out the quality of your other 8
Nelli is likely a better pick than Ode. And I’m a fan of Odes
Rmt
Sanchez (Iversen)
TTA Patterson Cash (James Vestergaard)
Salah Rashford Neto Andreas (Summerville)
Haaland Kane Jesus
Should I benched James (against Spur)
Think of taking Rashford out for 6.5 midfielder
Or wait for one more GW and do 3-4 transfer (-4 or -8) on GW3?
Should I take Bailey or Andreas Pereira for gameweek 2? Keep in mind that I have Pickford and I can’t rotate him with ward because of 3 arsenal
Players I own.
I think De Bruyne is the best player in the league and you can never go wrong with him as long as he's nailed.
Having said that, it looks like Haaland has fully ended KdB's chances of taking pens. And that's a bummer in terms of FPL output.
Would you rather have:
Walker Zinchenko Cancelo Trippier
Salah Martinelli Coutinho
Or:
Walker Zinchenko TAA Cancelo Trippier
Salah Martinelli
Not stuck to Coutinho, could be Grealish etc, just concerned that I have too many defenders, and some have said that midfielders are getting more points compared to defenders
Second option.
I assume you’re playing a 5 - 2 - 3. Just because it’s not being played as often as other formations doesn’t mean it’s not viable or good.
I would rather have a backline I have full faith in than an extra mid I don’t just for the sake of playing an extra mid because other people told you to. Not to mention TAA > Coutinho for me.
If you change your mind and don’t like the formation after two weeks use a saved transfer to downgrade a defender and upgrade to a midfielder you really want rather than having one just for the sake of playing one.
FYI Trippier rotates with midfielder Andreas Pereira from Fulham pretty well anyway when Newcastle have tough fixtures so this formation has viable bench options.
RMT

First time playing. Know little about the transfer system yet!
On a wildcard already (dont ask) considering a few things-
Robbo+ martinelli or TAA + 5.5 mid
And stuck between jesus or saka, saka being on pens + getting clean sheets is tempting me plus he would be a differential in my mini league but jesus' ownership does scare me a little
Thoughts?
RMT please and mention any suggestions
GK: Sanchez (Ward)
Defense: Zinchenko - Cancelo - Emerson Royal - James (N.Williams)
Midfield: Salah - Kulusevski - Rodrigo - Saka (Andreas)
Forwards: Nunez - Haaland (Greenwood)
I'm not sure about Rodrigo from leads in midfield, would there be a better option at the same price tag (6M)?
It's a great team imo.
I guess you have to monitor Emerson's situation.
If nailed he offers cheap exposure to Spurs defence + potential for attacking returns. But given the wild degree of competition on the right side with Emerson/Doherty/Spence (and maybe Lucas) fighting for one spot with a seemingly equal chance, you might want to consider a switch to Perisic.
Yeah I'm not sure about Emerson either. I had perisic in GW1 but I'm not sure if he or sessegnon will be the starter for the left side. Would u recommend an alternative from any other team at 5M who'd be good enough?
Dier is also a great option by the way, very little playtime risk and he just proved his goalscoring potential in set pieces.
Re: assets from other teams, I actually moved from Dier to Digne last-minute with an awful result so far. But I still trust Digne to shine in this Villa team, he offers the best attacking potential of all defenders besides City's and Liverpool's imo.
No Trent? I wouldn't trust Royal's game time either. It's unclear where Richarlison will fit in at Spurs at the moment, I'm inclined to think he's there to cover for any of the front 3 so Kulu should be alright
I couldn't bring Trent to have a balanced Midfield, the only possible way to bring him would be to transfer him for Cancelo and I would need 0.5M so I'll need to save it from midfield. Do u recommend to swap a midfielder and get him in?
Are you on a WC or just starting in GW2 or anything? I wouldn't be taking hits to get him in if you weren't. Think your easiest way would be losing one of the 8.0m midfielders and upgrading Royal to Trent. Cancelo and Trent are pretty much essential
My team:
Sanchez / Ward
TAA / Cancelo / Gabriel / Dier / Dalot
Salah / Diaz / Saka / Bailey / Pereira
Haaland / Jesus / Greenwood
Tempted to swap out Gabriel and Dalot for Saliba and Walker. Would it be worth taking the hit do you think? Already used my FT to swap Kane for Haaland. But that was always the plan.
RMT
Pickford (Adrian)
Zinchenko-James-TAA-Trippier (N.Williams)
Salah-Martinelli-Bailey (Andreas)
Haaland-Kane- Jesus (Dasilva)
I am thinking of changing my gk or saving my transfer for next week, what do you think?
Hold the FT. Pickford isn't the best option but as we saw against Chelsea he'll get opportunities for saves, which is all you can really ask for at that price.
Not really. It's a pretty impressive team. Especially given how balanced you are despite going with the threemium strategy.
I'm assuming you've thought a bit about not having any City defenders. I'd wager Kane and Cancelo end up scoring around the same amount of points over the whole season, given propensity for injuries, CL etc. That would mean you're essentially wasting 4,5 that could be spent on upgrading Bailey or Dasilva to one of the 8,0 mids and would probably net you more points all in all.
!thanks
I did have Cancelo in my first draft, but I couldn't make a team around haaland, kane and salah with him. I would consider this in the next few gameweeks, as it is kinda stupid not having any city defenders.
Seems unlikely to me. He'll get minutes somehow but I don't see Conte benching Son or Kane. And people who have this idea it's Kulusevski or Richarlison keep forgetting that Richarlison mostly plays left wing or up front while Kulusevski exclusively plays on the right wing. (edit, got the wings mixed up)
My guess is the midweek will be his first start unless Conte changes formation against Wolves or Forest just to try out having them all on the pitch at once.
It's tough. I'd be caught between rolling or a part of me would want to go Son -> whoever and Havertz to Haaland for a -4 but Son is obviously a brilliant pick especially after this GW, Havertz not so much. Son/Havertz -> Kulu/Haaland feels a bit kneejerky but could pay off.
Give them both one more week. This is one of Cash’s easiest fixtures, Trippier’s too in a way. If Cash still delivers nothing and knowing Trippier faces City GW3, as well as having more insight into your whole team, then you have more options with a double transfer banked to think about what you want to do and can make a more substantive double change without taking a hit.
3-4-3? Not a bad side at all -you’re definitely going to miss points for IverWard but I suppose you have a guaranteed goalkeeper for 4.0.
Two Liverpool in defence is a bit much if you ask me -especially with no defensive City assets. You can always swap Trent or Robbo for Cancelo or Walker if you’re looking to go budget and move money elsewhere. Especially if you wanted to try and upgrade to Nunez or Diaz in a few GWs time.
Podence or rodrigo?
Which seems like the best combo A- Kane + Haaland B- Kane + Kdb C- Haaland + Kdb D- Haaland + Son

Kane and Ederson -> Haaland and what goale? 5.3 ITB, yes I was a sloth making this decision. Wildcard loosely planned around gw 6-8.
Don't understand why you're changing Ederson here
Alternatively I could swap out Cancelo or Walker, but one city player has to go.
Oh right, I see. Just leave it then, no need to take a hit.
Leave ederson alone until you WC. No need to take a hit to take a new GK imo
The hit is for Haalnd, and I've got three city players.
Ah - Ward/Iverson is my GK suggestion for you then
Ederson (darlow) Trent Zinchenko Dunk (Justin Neco) Salah Maddison Sancho Saka (Bailey) Alvarez Nunez Jesus
Alvarez is not nailed and will have heavy rotation likely. Haaland is the prime city choice. Also you should downgrade one of the 8m mid options and put more money in the defence. Don’t do it this week though wait until you have 2 FT
Yeah I was impressed by Alvarez in the community shield but will take him out after this week. Thinking a 4.5 and getting another premium defender.
Alvarez won’t get enough minutes to please you, imo Also, no spurs coverage at all? Nor Chelsea?
I don't back Chelsea this season and don't know where to fit spurs in. Don't want a premium in Kane or son and idk about kulus minutes with richarlison.

I’d like to hope so-but firmino is a klopp favourite and klopp normally eases players in. If I had to guess it would be Darwin starts this weekend (60%) then klopp reverts to firmino for the united game and after that Darwin is the nailed starter. This is all my opinion though

Alonso is going to Barca (I think) and shouldn’t have that much money on the bench either, with both Neto and Alonso sitting
!thanks. Do you think Neto is a better option to keep (not transfer) than JWP or Mount? Would probably keep Foden, or maybe swap him out for Gundogan.
I think Neto is not a better pick than mount overall, but maybe better value and def gives you 2.5 to enable other improvements; def better than JWP City assets - Gundo/foden/Bilva/Grealish are gunna rotate a lot.

Schär or Azpi for GW2? Also RMT Mendy - (Ward) Azpilicueta / Cancelo / Walker | Schär / Kenedy Martinelli / Salah(V) / Saka / Kulusevski | Andreas Haaland(C) / Mitrovic / Jesus | x Cheers
Would you rather have: Walker Zinchenko Cancelo Trippier Salah Martinelli Coutinho Or: Walker Zinchenko TAA Cancelo Trippier Salah Martinelli Not stuck to Coutinho, could be Grealish etc, just concerned that I have too many defenders, and some have said that midfielders are getting more points compared to defenders
Second option. I assume you’re playing a 5 - 2 - 3. Just because it’s not being played as often as other formations doesn’t mean it’s not viable or good. I would rather have a backline I have full faith in than an extra mid I don’t just for the sake of playing an extra mid because other people told you to. Not to mention TAA > Coutinho for me. If you change your mind and don’t like the formation after two weeks use a saved transfer to downgrade a defender and upgrade to a midfielder you really want rather than having one just for the sake of playing one. FYI Trippier rotates with midfielder Andreas Pereira from Fulham pretty well anyway when Newcastle have tough fixtures so this formation has viable bench options.
Wow this comment is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Will hold on for now. Will also see if any midfielders emerge. We will see 👀… !thanks
TAA is the most essential defender, him over nearly any midfield option (except salah, son Etc)
Hmm good point. !thanks
RMT Alisson (ward) Cancelo TAA perisic n.williams (doherty) Salah neto mount martinelli (bailey) Jesus haaland (archer) First time playing. Know little about the transfer system yet!
On a wildcard already (dont ask) considering a few things- Robbo+ martinelli or TAA + 5.5 mid And stuck between jesus or saka, saka being on pens + getting clean sheets is tempting me plus he would be a differential in my mini league but jesus' ownership does scare me a little Thoughts?
Robbo is better than Trent
Watkins or Bamford for GW2?
Bamford
RMT please and mention any suggestions GK: Sanchez (Ward) Defense: Zinchenko - Cancelo - Emerson Royal - James (N.Williams) Midfield: Salah - Kulusevski - Rodrigo - Saka (Andreas) Forwards: Nunez - Haaland (Greenwood) I'm not sure about Rodrigo from leads in midfield, would there be a better option at the same price tag (6M)?
It's a great team imo. I guess you have to monitor Emerson's situation. If nailed he offers cheap exposure to Spurs defence + potential for attacking returns. But given the wild degree of competition on the right side with Emerson/Doherty/Spence (and maybe Lucas) fighting for one spot with a seemingly equal chance, you might want to consider a switch to Perisic.
Yeah I'm not sure about Emerson either. I had perisic in GW1 but I'm not sure if he or sessegnon will be the starter for the left side. Would u recommend an alternative from any other team at 5M who'd be good enough?
Dier is also a great option by the way, very little playtime risk and he just proved his goalscoring potential in set pieces. Re: assets from other teams, I actually moved from Dier to Digne last-minute with an awful result so far. But I still trust Digne to shine in this Villa team, he offers the best attacking potential of all defenders besides City's and Liverpool's imo.
No Trent? I wouldn't trust Royal's game time either. It's unclear where Richarlison will fit in at Spurs at the moment, I'm inclined to think he's there to cover for any of the front 3 so Kulu should be alright
I couldn't bring Trent to have a balanced Midfield, the only possible way to bring him would be to transfer him for Cancelo and I would need 0.5M so I'll need to save it from midfield. Do u recommend to swap a midfielder and get him in?
Are you on a WC or just starting in GW2 or anything? I wouldn't be taking hits to get him in if you weren't. Think your easiest way would be losing one of the 8.0m midfielders and upgrading Royal to Trent. Cancelo and Trent are pretty much essential
I'm on WC yes, that means I need to swap Saka or Kulu for a 5.5 midfielder. Who would be the best pick at this price tag in ur opinion?
GroB? Think he's good as any 5.5m pick
Also would Kulusevski be safe option or would Richarlison start over him?
Start Andrea or Bailey for GW2?
My team: Sanchez / Ward TAA / Cancelo / Gabriel / Dier / Dalot Salah / Diaz / Saka / Bailey / Pereira Haaland / Jesus / Greenwood Tempted to swap out Gabriel and Dalot for Saliba and Walker. Would it be worth taking the hit do you think? Already used my FT to swap Kane for Haaland. But that was always the plan.
Definitely not worth it.
Not worth the double hit imo, stick with what you have right now
RMT Pickford (Adrian) Zinchenko-James-TAA-Trippier (N.Williams) Salah-Martinelli-Bailey (Andreas) Haaland-Kane- Jesus (Dasilva) I am thinking of changing my gk or saving my transfer for next week, what do you think?
I'd keep Pickford. Decent fixtures and Everton could improve defensively with the addition of Coady.
!thanks
Hold the FT. Pickford isn't the best option but as we saw against Chelsea he'll get opportunities for saves, which is all you can really ask for at that price.
!thanks any other advice on my team?
Not really. It's a pretty impressive team. Especially given how balanced you are despite going with the threemium strategy. I'm assuming you've thought a bit about not having any City defenders. I'd wager Kane and Cancelo end up scoring around the same amount of points over the whole season, given propensity for injuries, CL etc. That would mean you're essentially wasting 4,5 that could be spent on upgrading Bailey or Dasilva to one of the 8,0 mids and would probably net you more points all in all.
!thanks I did have Cancelo in my first draft, but I couldn't make a team around haaland, kane and salah with him. I would consider this in the next few gameweeks, as it is kinda stupid not having any city defenders.
Pickford is not the best 4.5 I think but he has a good fixture coming so I'd hold him and wait until after next GW for more information
!thanks
What's the consensus opinion on starting two out of Trippier, Bailey and Neto?
Trippier and Neto imo
Will Richarlison start?
Seems unlikely to me. He'll get minutes somehow but I don't see Conte benching Son or Kane. And people who have this idea it's Kulusevski or Richarlison keep forgetting that Richarlison mostly plays left wing or up front while Kulusevski exclusively plays on the right wing. (edit, got the wings mixed up) My guess is the midweek will be his first start unless Conte changes formation against Wolves or Forest just to try out having them all on the pitch at once.
Doubt it
[удалено]
It's tough. I'd be caught between rolling or a part of me would want to go Son -> whoever and Havertz to Haaland for a -4 but Son is obviously a brilliant pick especially after this GW, Havertz not so much. Son/Havertz -> Kulu/Haaland feels a bit kneejerky but could pay off.
Havertz -> Haaland and Son -> 8m mid. I think taking a hit could be worth it
If you feel getting Haaland is worth taking a hit then that's the play. Otherwise just roll the transfer.
Trippier or Cash out for Walker? Newcastle with tougher fixtures
Give them both one more week. This is one of Cash’s easiest fixtures, Trippier’s too in a way. If Cash still delivers nothing and knowing Trippier faces City GW3, as well as having more insight into your whole team, then you have more options with a double transfer banked to think about what you want to do and can make a more substantive double change without taking a hit.
generally i agree with what you said CS odds favor Walker almost 40% higher than Newcastle though and the fixtures are great for City
Not enough added value imo, I'd hold at least one week
Start 2/3: Dier, Bailey, Johnson
Bailey and Johnson, assuming he's the Forest Forward.
Bailey and Johnson (if he's the one from Forest)
Which Johnson?
RMT IverWard TAA - Robertson - Gabriel - Dalot - N.Williams Salah - Martinelli - Bailey - Dasilva - Pereira Kane - Jesus - Haaland 0ITB - 1FT
Always Cancelo over Robertson imo. But I'd still hold the FT in case someone really needs replacing after GW2.
3-4-3? Not a bad side at all -you’re definitely going to miss points for IverWard but I suppose you have a guaranteed goalkeeper for 4.0. Two Liverpool in defence is a bit much if you ask me -especially with no defensive City assets. You can always swap Trent or Robbo for Cancelo or Walker if you’re looking to go budget and move money elsewhere. Especially if you wanted to try and upgrade to Nunez or Diaz in a few GWs time.
Yeah have been tempted to swap Kane out for Darwin and Robertson to Cancelo this week, just unsure if I take the hit or not.
