Martinelli, Saka & Gabriel. In the mud this weekOh Schweiny
Who you got left?
Maddison isn't the problem, he will come good over the first 5. The problem was Bruno & Rashy.
Fantasy Premier League 23/24
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
From 84 points to 26 in 1 gw is quite a swing. Diaby, Bruno and Jackson blanks felt very unlucky tbh.
Have drafted in Alvarez for Pedro, City’s fixtures are disgustingly good for them. Expect them to win their first 8-10 matches in all honesty.
The biggest differential is not captaining Haaland at the right times. Luckily captained Salah, so on 51 with Saka and Saliba still to play, which looking around I can only be happy with.
One more week of Richarlison before I swap him for March. Then it’s a case of swapping Garnacho, who I thought was a masterstroke at 5m (feel like his shocking start is my fault).

47 with Saka, Martinelli and Gabriel to come. No bench points at all if one of them doesn't play.
Took the risk to keep Gabriel so I could transfer Digne in and Botman out. Short term thinking based off fixtures that paid off so far with Digne outscoring Botman 10-2.
Just got to hope Gabriel starts now. If I get close to 60 I'll be happy considering how things were looking.

On 30 with Ramsdale, Gabriel and Saka (c) to play. Although I've Areola's 10 pointer sitting on the bench so a late niggle for Ramsdale would do me brilliantly.
49 with Gabriel, Trossard(*cross fingers*) and Saka left....
Need something like an Eze and Saka hatrick to save the day. Crazy fall from GW1.
Consider doing Bruno/Rashford/Watkins to Salah/Mbeumo/Wissa for -4.
Seems like a no brainer, no?

Why Salah? Jota's playing up front, and Diaz looks like their in form player.
Well that one's pretty obvious: more minutes, his track record, reliable captain pick, on pens (even though he sucks at them)...but yeah I do like Jota as well.
A horrible week so far. On 30 with Gabriel and Saka to play.
Shipped Mitoma for Maddison going into this GW so that doesn't look as good anymore either. The Darwin from GW1 punt was a total misshit (Thanks Klopp) too and he's now turned into Jackson.
Team going into GW3:
Johnstone (Turner)
Estupinan, Chillwell, Gabriel (Boldock, Botman)
Saka, Rashy, Bruno, Maddison (Andersen)
Haaland (C), Watkins, Jackson
0,5M ITB
The team looks ok, but as long as Brentford and Brighton and their 6,5Ms score premium points, while the 7,5-9,0Ms doesn't, it will hurt. I refuse to believe Mbuemo will continue to get pens every week and Brightons fixtures the next 6 weeks is among the toughest, so I stick to my plan.
Only upside was to see that Pedro will be rotated.

Are Brightons fixtures really that bad though? Next five:
West Ham at home
Newcastle at home
United away
Bournemouth at home
Villa away
Liverpool at home
tbh I fancy them to score goals and do well in all of those. Mitoma is a must have at his price imo and same to a lesser extent with estupinan. Pedro can possibly go but tbh he’s a good option at his price even with the rotation. They really don’t have the bad fixtures that people think.
Any confirmation on the Madders injury? Will he be available for GW3?
If not having Mitoma, is it pointless to bring him in now?
I'd say no, but why not go for Solly March instead? He's been crazy good.
Mitoma is tempting but don't fancy touching Brighton bar Estu. Worried about rotation due to Europe.
Yeah and also they've just played two relegation candidates. They'll still be good but won't be scoring 4 goals every game.
Got Gabriel, Saka and Martinelli for tonight - hopefully Martinelli scores 7
Sell Rashford?
I have Martinelli, Saka, Foden, Mitoma and Rashford in midfield. If Martinelli scores tonight, I will think of dropping Rashy for Madders/Mbeumo. After Forest we have Arsenal away and Brighton. I don’t see us scoring too many goals in either game.
Sell Rashford after GW3 if we are still disjointed.
If selling him will get him scoring, I'm in
What have Salah done to defend 12.5m? Not worth it.
So do you sell Rashford or Bruno for Mbeumo?
And why?
And why?
Gabriel dropped again 
Great. One more player to change.Gabriel dropped again
Sideways move to Saliba?
FacGabriel dropped again
Or move to a Spurs asset.
Spurs will concede plenty
Panic swap for Saliba after the deadline, burning my gw1 transfer and forcing a 4pt hit when Mings went down, suddenly worth it.Gabriel dropped again
Gabriel has been a fecking disaster of a pick
The Arsenal fans were right, Tomiasu
time to sell Gab as Artetas system will only see him play if Zinchenko starts also
Not with their next 3 fixtures.
Nice so Gabriel, James and Baldock not playing and Maddison a injury doubt
feck you Arteta. Overrated POS.
Probably the best bet. Lots of talk that if Zinchenko had been fit then Gabriel starts too.
Apparently, with Timber out he either wants:
White-Gabriel-Saliba-Zinchenko
or
Tomiyasu-White-Saliba-Partey
Saliba in both so why not?
Feck it. Fpl has been a disaster. Dalot, Gabriel, Stones and then our own Rashford and BrunoThe Arsenal fans were right, Tomiasu
time to sell Gab as Artetas system will only see him play if Zinchenko starts also
Bye Gabby.
Mad that I feel I've got no issues in my squad yet currently sit on 33 points this GW .
2 FT's for GW3...I'm tempted to give them up and roll.
The only alternatives are Bruno out for Martinelli or Diaz but seems a bit mad when we have Forest at home or, Salah and Pedro out and a reshuffle of funds! I would prefer another week before I make that call though!
