Just read that due to Ronaldo getting covid that Bruno might miss the next 4 games isolating!
Doubt that. 1 game max. Podence then too? Would be really bad for me. My team is such a mess and Covid not making it better.
My wildcard got really wasted since I picked far too many risky picks.

Apologies if it’s not been clear!!!!!

I’ve got Vardy and Mitrovic currently and considering transferring in Kane and DCL but it’ll cost me 4 points.
That's a huge upgrade of you can do it.

Mitro had looked shit in a shit team. Vardy had been really lucky because of pens. He's barely had any shots on target from open play! But it's Vardy, he will still score as the season progresses...

DCL is great. In a really creative team and even if they have Liverpool next, you want him for the fixtures after this. He's on fire and his price keeps rising.

Kane, back to his best. His output won't be as great as it has been, that's very unlikely, but he's got a great set of fixtures coming up.

I'd do it.

Just to be clear, international athletes are not subject to the same covid rules because they are in sporting bubbles. Fernandes will not need to isolate as long as he tests negative.

Not the same for Cavani however as he was without a club, so not in any "bubble" prior to joining us.

Someone posted a link on the bruno thread.

However, i think you're right so we've swerved one!
Be careful/patient with putting these players in your team as they were tested straight after direct contact and could be showing false negatives until the virus actually kicks in properly.

Soucek is supposed to be a good pick.
I'm probably bringing him in next week to enable Salah, although I'll then be benching him for the first two weeks. Had him GW1 with Antonio before wildcarding - I clearly had not checked the fixtures!

Just used my wildcard.

I don't think I've ever played it this early but I wanted to change so much and can't afford to waste points on extra transfers as I'm trailing in my mini leagues.

I've taken out:

De Bruyne
Havertz
Werner
Traore
Gundogan

For:

Son
Salah
DCL
Pulisic
Ceballos

Why did you run it 3 days before the next game, rather than 10days back?

Could have hoovered up 0.5m to 0.8m team value benefit.

Need help. Watkins or Bamford?
On a wild card i currently have both and may put one down to brewster.

I suppose it depends on whether you also have Grealish.
Watkins exploded v Liverpool. Was that a pure one off or does he have those hauls in him? Bamford to me looks a more steady Eddie who may lose his place at some stage.

So KDB out for sure?
Replace him with Son or Bruno? Already have Kane so not too keen on Son. Can also do Sterling for KDB.

He's not been officially ruled out has he?

Probably be this week's Son. He will be transferred out due to injury fears and he'll play and get a double digit haul.

Same. He's too important a player for them creatively. Especially with no Silva.
They only have 4pts from 9 too. They can't really afford to drop points here if they want to win the title back. Arsenal have their tails up too under Arteta. Even if he's only 80% fit he will play. City are a really average team without him. Some people even saying they aren't all that anymore with him.

I did it like this and got some good value on Chilwell, Graelish, Kane, Martinez, Rodriguez etc

Exactly this.

The smart alec who runs the fantasy football price changes twitter site was mocking people who expect value increases running a wildcard in the international break, but as long as you're aiming to stay on the players who go up, then you can easily produce 0.5-0.8m.

I suppose he meant there's no point doing it just to bring players in expecting them to go up 0.2m each, and then sell to bank the 0.1m, as very few do go up twice.

ps had to edit that Graelish spelling :)

I know Man Utd are not a good fantasy option at the moment but with Martial out for 3 games anyone tempted by Cavani?

No, Cavani also automatically miss 1 of those 3 Martial-less games.

Concerning match sharpness/fitness though for the other 2 games if he play.
I might be able to pick him up in a draft league but with Maupay/Bamford and Watkins doing great I dunno if I can justify it.

What did facebook have to do with your fantasy team? Did you sign up to the game through facebook? Didn't know that was possible. Surely you have a username and password to sign into the game?

Ok. I am throwing Werner out. I can get Kane or I can go for cheaper option like Maupay or Wilson/Watkins, thus saving my money for adding another quality midfielder in next GW or worst change Bruno if goes down with the virus.

Is Kane worth the money over the other guys in form?
