It's the first year I probably won't and I'm normally a GW2/3 wildcarder. The only obvious fires I see are Bailey and Rashford (and to be fair I kind of expected they would be) but am happy to wait to get rid of them. Helps that I seem to have the best looking cheap playing bench in Andreas, DaSilva and Williams.
Don’t forget you get 3 wildcards this year. And first one should be used before game week 8/9 otherwise it’s not much use.
Yeah I don't think that's even a debate as sad as it is to say. Really thought we were starting to look a bit fresher in pre season and then Ronaldo came back, Martial got injured and yesterday was just thoroughly depressing with the same old shit from last season.
Where the minus -.1 already!!Jesus is now owned by 73.3%.
I do have a good team for next week though, and would really only make 4-5 transfers (like getting James, Cancelo etc.) so probably better to wait it out for the moment. As things stand I'll go with:
Yep did it. Knew it'd be a 0.2m turnaround but actually surprised Kane went down last night as he was only on 78% when I checked at about 8 or 9pm.
Ouch.
I have 2.0m in the bank already thanks to swapping Saka for Martinelli, so could use that to upgrade my GK situation. I will also get some savings from removing Sancho which will help my defense.
Not even Bournemouth in GW4? Bold.
I wanted him after seeing his price and that he was getting good mentions in the Leicester preseason match reports (skim read), but i knew he would be on the bench so i decided to pass on him, so small comfort knowing even if i had him i would have been cursing not having him in the 11.I knew KDH would do well but I benched him. 10 points just sitting there unused
I don't have him in my team and would need to take WC/hits to swap Sterling & Diaz to him and a 5.0m midfielder (so virtually fodder). I am banking on Haaland v Palace to get me enough so that I don't lose out on not having Salah, especially as I have both Diaz and Darwin. Sterling is home to Leicester that week too.
Agreed. Very concerned about not owning Darwin all of a sudden though - theoretically Robertson should me give the same output though, so trying to hold on to my team and not making a Jesus/Robertson -> Darwin/+something move. Jesus did look alright, I think, but a bit concerned if Darwin is captained by a lot in one gw and he scored 2-3 goals
what? No we dont? We get 2 wildcards, unless a new one is introduced and introduced out of the blue in covid season?
We get 3. Well, effectively get 3. The 2 wildcards and then you have unlimited transfers during the World cup break. Also, you can't use your first wild card after that World cup break which starts Week 16. So you might as well use your first wild card by the latest weeks 8-10 otherwise it's not much benefit after that.
That's my issue too. Also expected more from West Ham . They were embarrassing. Completely folded. Southampton at home is always a bloodshed and so the logical choice was Kane
Either ways not interested in this uncertainty when paying fecking 11.5m on one player. If anyone wants a Spurs player just get Son, far far better asset and will pretty much play up front the whole season.
hooooly fack, how did I end up misunderstanding this?!? I even finished top 10k last season. I’ll put that all down to being pure luck now
I’ll go hide under my rock.To be fair, I didn't have a clue about it either until I came across a video on TikTok University.hooooly fack, how did I end up misunderstanding this?!? I even finished top 10k last season. I’ll put that all down to being pure luck now
why on earth do the website not put the World cup transfers ad libitum on the same page as the chips when its soooo relevant though. Christ on a bike, this is like that south park episode where one is not reading the iTunes terms in every single detail
I'm actually kinda gutted I passed up on the GW1 BB and GW2 WC this season, this was the ideal season to do that with an extra WC.
TBH there’s not a single player we could sign that would go straight into my team, in fact if we sign a player from my team I would sell them.How are people planning on fitting Arnautovic into their team?
Harsh reality
Why start without Cancelo/James if you're going to WC and get them in GW 2? It was hardly a surprise that they're two of the best FPL players.
I thought Saka was way more nailed than Martinelli would be and that Sancho would come good. I already had Walker so did not consider Cancelo essential, and with James I was going to wait and see whether they buy a right back or not (as he could be moved to the center). Also James frustrated the hell out of me last season.
Sterling could bring in big points if he crushes Spurs who are top of the table
If Haaland didn’t score it would be a toss up. But now it’s firmly on Haaland.
