Gabriel Jesus believers, where we at? 



and i made him vice captain, ffs!
anyway, i need to add De Bruyne to my squad, dude's gonna tear the PL apart with Haaland next to him

It was just a matter of time, he played great in all the friendly matches and in GW1 when he was unlucky to get at least one assist. He could have scored 2 more goals in first half, they were much better than the chance from which he scored first goal.

Now if only Haaland could score a goal or two to make my day even better.

Jesus saves!

I knew there was no way I would be getting rid of him from my team, at least not for the foreseeable future. HI said he definitely scored loads of goals, and he's in a league of his own within the Arsenal squad, I can't imagine trading him for someone else of the same value as a forward, tbh. I can't imagine how managers who traded him out after game 1 would feel right now 😹

I think that the people who have sold Gabriel Jesus and added Mitrovic to their squads are in a mood similar to this. Mitrovic's missing a penalty must have increased the affect of the shock as well.

Halaaand is a failure!! I can't believe I feel inlove with him after reading so many tips and predictions, how do I explain to my kids that Manchester City scored four goals against awful Bournemouth and Halaand couldn't even assist one, if I lose first place today, please blame Halaand, I will forever regret selling Mitrovic last night to buy Halaand... Instead, why not Gabrie Jesus?

Haaland assisted Man City's first goal. I thought you never believed in Jesus and you said he was overly hyped, but you'd have ended up with -1 point if you had stick to Mitrovic, because he didn't score and missed a penalty.

I'm not sticking to Jesus simply because he's a great player, but also because I know Arsenal would always count on him, so it's easier to always expect him to be their biggest threat to their opponents.

Oh, the broke assisted? That slipped my mind. Well, swapping Mitrovic wasn't such a bad idea, especially after missing that PK. Schar was my biggest purchase last night, and he gave me a good point


I'm getting G. Jesus after GW3, and I'm still keeping an eye on Kane until GW4..

i genuinly thought i messed up by not spending the free transfer to get Haaland for this GW, expecting him to get a hat trick, glad he was a flop today  you reckon his value will go down? would like to see a 0.5 drop at least

Yikes I took him out of the squad already because he wasnt playing well last week . Replaced him with Haaland though well I guess I'll call it as a future investment as I think both of them are going to stick around for most teams in fantasy.


I have Ronaldo on my team for two straight weeks and not sure if Im going to transfer him out though. I thought this could be the week that I will get decent points from Ronaldo scoring against Brentford but yikes

Halaands time ended in GW1, I mean, this is the EPL and its not where they give you much freedom to express yourself on the pitch when they know how dangerous it could turn. Gabriel Jesus didn't perform so well in GW1 and that fir sure was a challenge for him in GW2 but the amazing part was, this was Leicester City they were playing against and he @G. Jesus didn't just find the net but gave 4 assist. I guess the £8.0 I bought him for finally paid off. I really wished I had made him captain or vice. My captain is yet to perform though but, am sure se good points would come off him.

So far, Kane has been the guy on my team that isn't making much impact. I would be looking to replace him after careful analysis on next game week fixtures.

[buwaytress]

How am I doing in the league? EPL website seems way too special for my current connection, so couldn't go in. will have to hope my selections were good enough to last until Match Day 3.

I don't recall having a single United player though, but then, if anyone does, they're a sucker for pain. Sorry arallmuus heh.

I can't help but feel for Arallmuus to be very honest, he's got Nick Pope on the bench, and that's a 10 pointer go down the drain, why Ramsdale being his first choice had just one point, damn!

Everything seemed to be going my way for game 2, and I was literally looking to get Rodrigo in for Trossard this week, but that would have had me having to settle for Matty Cash over Nathan Ake. I think another temptation I was able to resist going for Haaland as my captain, especially for the reason I stated that Guardiola likely wouldn't have him on the pitch for the entirety of the 90 mins.

You are doing better than you should. Mainly cause of your forwards, you have Jesus and Watkins as a captain. Some players that don't even play...time for you to check your team properly when you get back.

Need that Liverpool clean sheet to make my game week perfect while keeping Salah and all Chelsea and Spurs assets quiet 

[Harkorede]

By the way, who owns Sudden team - "serab kicep" in the league ?, I think the person clearly doesn't know how the FPL properly works yet and should really read up an article about it, the ones listed by @icopress in the OP should surely help him out with the needed information and tips, because having Salah and Alexander-Arnold on the bench for Coutinho, Desbury-Hall and Varane or Eric Dier indicates he probably presumed he'd get points for players on the bench or they could be subbed in after the previous mentioned players are done with their fixtures.

four centrebacks in main team, Salah and TAA on the bench, yeah sounds to me like this user just forgot to 'Pick Team', they probably thought the best players would get automatically selected for the starting squad... but despite those blunders this user is close to mid table in our pool so not that bad i guess

anyhow, i really messed up my fantasy by adding Bailey, with Ollie Watkins and Buendía playing like this there's no way Gerrard is gonna start the jamaican... from being a starter in Bayer Leverkusen to becoming a benchwarmer in Villa, nice 35M signing 🙄

He probably reasoned that because Liverpool did not play yesterday, there was no need to start them. This is not football manager; he only went for players from the team that played on Saturday, not realizing that the pick is for the entire GW2. I'm sure he has more than £50 left to spend.


@Harkored You did an outstanding job yesterday! My game was ruined by a panic transfer.

@Harkored You did an outstanding job yesterday! My game was ruined by a panic transfer.

Really, are you being serious right now. I might have a few players yet to play for the week on my team but your in the top 5 as the game goes and your doing okay to me. Like, I never knew why you picked Koulibaly on you decisively picked Koulibaly lon your team but after watching Chelsea play today, I have all that figured out. Koulibaly is more than a defender and doesn't weather as one in the games. His all out when he needs to be and falls back real good too. He's touches on the ball comes with grat confidence and when he takes a shot towards goal, you could see the power in it and the shot expresses the intent real good. I would be looking towards having him on my team next week or a few weeks from today. You good bro.

Come on, bro. I'm currently in 3rd place, I was comfortably leading in GW1 I have 3 mfs with zero points on my team, you picked up and advanced further this week than me, now all my hope is on Salah to hit 13 tomorrow, he's my captain.

WTF! Salah is still on your team!! You are such a dangerous guy to beat, you have N. Williams on the bench with 7 points. Jeez @Harkorede, oh my God!!!

In the EPL pool, you are ahead of me. I hate you. Lol

[arallmuus]

This is yikes but this guy has higher points then me lol, both GW and total points . I know that Im bad but I definitely wont left Salah on the bench though so probably an honest mistake of forgetting to click the save changes after he changed the players (?)


Way below average points for me again, still have Salah and Van Djik though. Well Unless Salah ended up getting over 10 points then I guess I'll get the bare minimum for the average points.

I would say I only got lucky this game week, and at least it's not my first time playing. All I'm just trying to do is play the long game cards, as this game is a marathon not a sprint, and my most important rule I tend to follow is that I won't transfer in any player I don't plan on having on my team for at least the next 3-4 game weeks except for unforeseen circumstances like injuries and suspensions. That's why having/keeping been the toughest decision so far for me, because just one good game he could score 4 goals with relative ease and you have to be playing catch if all your opponents have him on their team, and if you like at the number of attempts Haaland makes per game, you'll agree it's only a matter of time.

Game week 2 is almost over, for this to turnout in the best way possible for me, I need Liverpool to concede at least a goal, although I also have TAA like most people do but some have Robertson/Alisson which make them have double the points I get in case of a Liverpool clean sheet, but Salah can score as many as freaking possible I've got everything to gain with that  

Way below average points for me again, still have Salah and Van Djik though. Well Unless Salah ended up getting over 10 points then I guess I'll get the bare minimum for the average points.

I'd be so livid if this is how my team performs after using a wildcard, at least you'd have had more points If you had stick with your game 1 team, with Jesus alone having 19 points, btw are you a Muslim ? because the name Jesus doesn't seem to be working for you, 4 mere points when captained and now 19 when subbed out

I read about Pope doing some miracles but am going to need to watch all of that stuff soon, missing out a lot, but yeah, why Pope on the bench haha.

Might actually be tempted to put United's second choice up too if they're really going to withdraw de Gea but their defence is so bad no keeper would get clean sheets... seeing them -5 on GD after 2 games is... amazing.

You are doing better than you should. Mainly cause of your forwards, you have Jesus and Watkins as a captain. Some players that don't even play...time for you to check your team properly when you get back.

Great to hear haha! Yeah I thought Jesus would have a nice start and Ollie got himself 2 assists, guess MD2 saved me.

Really need to get back home, both my FPL and Pools are on old picks made way ahead of time.

[Trofo]

I decided to pull an early wildcard, wanted to make few transfers an did not want to make -8. Bailey is finished, I don't want to have anybody from united and I need some Chelsea coverage now that their fixtures turn for the beeter. Mostly fringe players in my team but could be a lot of price rises/falls which I wanted to capitalise on. And this season we have that one extra wildcard so I hope I will not regret it.
