I freaking love the schadenfreude of this game sometimes.

Guy at work did a -4 for Bruno & Dier in for Mahrez and TAA.

Dier 1 pointer, TAA 12. Marvellous.

Forgot about FPL and had Son as captain, didn't bring in Ronaldo or Lukaku and at 19 points it looked dreadful yesterday.

Vice Captain TAA stepped up and now it looks a bit alright at 53 with Digne to play.
That's why this game should be called Fantasy Captain's league.

Another decent week. 75 points with DCL (hopefully) yet to play. Hope to break into top 15-10k.

78 with Gray to play and 1st in the CAF league until DCL scores a brace tomorrow and I never see these heights again.

It will be the only 48 hours in the year I will be here with my constant twitchy transfers and lack of patience!

But may as well enjoy it while it lasts!

61 with DCL to go. Not bad considering I don’t have Ronaldo or Lukaku.

64 points with
Pickford
Doucoure
DCL
tomorrow still to go

Very grateful to those that helped with advice on my WC here this week

All I need is a hat trick by DCL with all assists from Doucoure and a clean sheet from Pickford, and I'll be doing just fine this week. Not asking too much

Currently 145th in the Caf league. If I'm lucky I'll break into the top 100 after tomorrow's result

79 with DCL to play. Had 2 (International break) weeks with WC to figure out the best squad and I'm glad I didn't do too much wrong :)

Lukaku and ronaldo are probably both a must? The rest of the team would suffer though to accommodate both.

67 with DCL to play.

Have Antonio but not making a transfer this week.
Looking at Raul Jiminez' stats he's had 1 shot on target all season.
I wouldnt be sure who else to get in.

Bamford is overpriced this season.
Edouard may be worth a look.
Hwang at Wolves maybe.
Toney 1 goal in 4. No.

So Antonio stays then West Ham have Leeds, Brentford, Everton and Spurs. The rest will do him good.

May also need 2 transfers week after next to get rid of Jota and the most infuriating player in FPL, Adama Traore.

I am on 64 with Gray and DCL to play and i am disappointed.
Saving transfer now and i think i am going for Pogba and this new Palace striker instead Raphinha and Antonio/Dcl

69 with DCL and Gray to play. All green arrows apart from my work league. A guy passed me who got almost everything right on his wildcard. Marcal, Ronaldo Lukaku Salah TAA and Gallagher. Fecker.

Jota and Antonio were my poor players this week. Putting Bamford in for Antonio as their fixtures get better but Im starting to fear for Leeds… they are a one trick pony. I think palace or Brentford could be this seasons Leeds.

66 with DCL to play. Was a great day for me today. 3 players today giving my half my points total! Would have initially been happy with 50+, I’m well clear of the average score again which is brilliant. Sitting on a total of 305

I'm holding off on a transfer this week for a dbl the following week.
Going to keep an eye on Richarlison even though I've already got DCL

Bamford may be slightly overpriced but he's going to deliver over a 6 wk stretch starting GW5

Not having TAA hurts… So hard to fit him into my team while already having Ronaldo and Salah and not hurting the rest of the squad

It is not that hard.
Dave
Taa, Shaw, Dias
Benrahma, Salah, Gray, Raphinha
Ronny, DCL, Antonio.

Not saying that it is some dream team but it can be done "easily".

A majority of the teams do have all 3 three of them.
33.8 % of teams have TAA and 37.7 % have Ronaldo, so no way a majority of teams have all three.

Maybe a majority of succesful teams for far, though.

Had a play around with having TAA, Salah, Ronaldo and Lukaku in. Would end up with:

Sanchez (Steele)
TAA Shaw Coufal (Livra) (White)
Salah Raph Benrahma Gallagher Gray
Ronaldo Lukaku (4.5m)

Its not bad is it?
You are gonna have at least 2 our of Raph Benny Gray and 1 out of White and Livra starting and that can be a lot of blanks.

I consider getting rid of Mount. Beside a few fluky FPL assists he hasn't really produced, and now it seems like the Tuchel Roulette has begun.

Anyone who can tell me if he's expected to start in the upcoming games vs Tottenham and City, or is he gonna be rotated heavily with Havertz, Pulisic Ziyech etc. Doesn't he have a knack of performing in bigger games?

Would be worth it when the like of this week you're getting 59 from those 4 with Ronaldo or Lukaku captain. There's a lot of decent 6m ish midfielders you could rotate around with fixtures. The next price up you've the rotation risks of Greenwood, Jota and Torres. Id happily play Livramento most weeks, think he could get returns against anyone

No they don’t. Only 22% own both TAA and Salah and it’s probably not even 10% for all three…
Yeah my bad. Meant majority of the top ranked teams have all three premiums.

The striker pool is better in that range. But anyway that's a strategy people play with. You'd just be fecked if all your premiums have unfavorable fixtures in a GW and there's no one else covering other teams. This GW isn't a great example as Liverpool Chelsea and United were playing Leeds Villa and Newcastle

I’m so close to swapping Bruno and Toney for Ronaldo and a cheap midfielder. Just can’t find any good options for sub 6.2…I guess Gallagher, but it’s a real shit fixture first up and I’ll need to play him with Antonio out.

Imo;
Lukaku and Bruno are also premiums. How many people have 2 of those 4 plus Taa, is the real question?
Bruno is borderline premium without pens but definitely not a 12.0 asset. 2 premiums plus TAA sounds like something plenty of teams will have. 3 plus TAA is doable but difficult. 4 is borderline impossible and quite pointless to be fair.

Whats the rest of your team? Gray from Everton is an option.
