Another thing i noticed, HOW ON THE HELL MCCALLISTER TRANSFER WAS 42 millions and Caicedo one was 132 millions, this football its completly broken and corrupted.

Both played for the same team, and were at the exact same level (no matter who you like the most, that its a pure subjetive thing), and plus Mccalister went champion of the world..... no words.

Mac Allister has a release clause of £35m signed before the World Cup, meanwhile we made Chelsea overpay for Caicedo by bidding a British world record. In a normal world, Caicedo is absolutely not worth even £100m (unlike Enzo who indeed is worth his transfer fee).

To put the numbers into context, Harry Kane was sold for £86.7 million.

Caicedo transfer is just another one with inflated numbers. No way he is worth even close to that money, only thing he has got is age. Still totally unproven player in PL terms, played one half of the good season for Brighton.

Chilwell hasn't even played GW2 yet, and his price has already changed by 0.2.

Now that is one player I'm avoiding.

Why are you avoiding Chilwell? He is the best defender in the game at the moment. Playing for solid club which has best fixtures and if that wasn't enough almost plays like a winger. Everything Trent used to be and 2.5M cheaper. If I did not have him he would be my first pick.

At the moment, I have a very strong temptation to use the chip to change half of the team. I just brought Madison to my team and he got injured even though he played the full 90 minutes ... want to keep Salah and still have Sánchez, Chilwell, Mbeumo on the team. So many thoughts that haunt me 

A player am watching his price change is Isak and I might just have him on my team in no time. He’s too dog for Newcastle and could produce good results even on a bad day except, while playing against Manchester City though.

Salah is one player am still having complicated thoughts about. He got his penalty scored and only managed to find the goal on a second attempt, his first and second game has been on an average of 5points and I feel his over priced for that kind of result. Players like Mbeumo and even Luis Diaz are doing way better. Perhaps Salah might shine in the league later on but at the time, he doesn’t seem like a best choice to have my £12.5m vested on. That would go a long way to enrich my bankroll and bench as well.

A flexibility I would get to reshuffle the team which brings the idea of a wild card to my mind. Just having conflicting thoughts about the whole thing.

I'd avoid all Chelsea players like the plague.

_______________________________________

I'm quite pissed at myself - I found a way to put both Haaland and Salah into my team but cancelled it at the last second. I would have had Wissa and Haaland instead of Watkins and Isak and Mitoma and Mbeumo instead of Rashford and Odegaard.
I'm actually tempted to use a wildcard for this - it would be a much better team.

It's West Ham away, and I'm not convinced that the forwards can make use of his servicing effectively.

The other reason to get him would be a clean sheet, but we don't know how good this new goalkeeper can make saves because last match there was only one shot on target (that went in).

Like the plague, 
Your damned right am doing the same. Ain’t got no Chelsea players and have got zero plans of getting any at the time.

All this assertions from only one league game played? I think it’s too early for many credits and lest not forget, Chelsea isn’t a very good team that can promise you clean sheets and that means point deductions. The goal conversion rate for Chelsea is really low and they haven’t shown much promises from there first game though, it would be nice to see what changes the new ins on the team could do about that. Else, if Chilwell isn’t giving assists or scoring goals with little chances of a clean sheet, you can be rest assured of 2 points.
Though a £5.7m seems cost effective am not sure I want him now.

The league has only recently begun, and all of the players are still recovery. Do not use your wildcard. Do not be frightened. Do not look at your position; it is still quite early. You have a good team.

I messed up, I recommended Mitoma to all my friends just to learn that I never had him, I swapped him for Eze a few minutes before the GW1 deadline. But I'm not worried.

Finally, if you play FPL with a rivalry bias, you will finish at the bottom. I despise Arsenal and Manchester United with all my heart, but I can't play FPL without their players on my team. That is the drive.

I do not own any Chelsea player yet.

Even though we were a shambles last season, Kepa was one of the most valuable assets. Under Potter, Chelsea were the third club with the most clean sheets before Lampard arrived and fouled things up.

That being said, we have a better team now, and our next five games are fucking good to not at least have one Chelsea player.


Watkins captainers where are you? Lets go

[Harkorede]

I had so much enthusiasm after Matt Turner and Onana didn't keep a clean sheet in their respective games, and in so much anticipation for Everton playing against Aston Villa, but the only thing Jordan could Pick up today is fouls, a yellow card and goals  

I could have been better off sticking with Areola, because his saves will come in handy against Chelsea, I reckon  

At least Watkins damage is barely minimal too, for now  

Edit:

Thank Goodness Watkins is off, but Jordan can't save his own life today, if goals were bullets, what a thwart!

Aston Villa is pounding Everton 4-0 already after getting smashed themselves last week gives me Brighton vibes from last season.

It's a week to forget for Pickford owners.

[buwaytress]

Week to forget for Pickford, sure, but even worse week for big Mac owners in Liverpool, like myself. All that transfer value and big fat negative points.

Costly starting two weeks for me too really, as even Darwin also wasn't handed a start and I was really courting on him smashing Bournemouth.

Not even March getting two goals gave me enough consolation...

The before which ever manager doesn’t matter bro, the stats still counts for Chelsea and last season was a disaster. This season, can’t say I don’t expect a much more improved and better Chelsea with Pochettino but until that happens.
Chelsea had a much dominant games last season and I can almost see the same trend here, where they get to play all the games and end up loosing it to a weak side. They’ve been good so far against West Ham United but somehow, they are behind yet again.
Just now, Chilwell, has been substituted for Caicedo and that ends the point counts for those who owns Chilwell. Perhaps this is what is to be expected henceforth.

Don’t make me have to regret my choices with not lifting my captain band from E. Haaland against such a good side like Newcastle United. Haaland and 4 points, felt like a goalkeeper that wasn’t able to manage a clean sheet. He would have to make up for that.

I am so sorry man.

Darwin got subbed on at 86' and pretty much killed any chance of my bench making an impact.

You should replace Macca with JWP, already he's got two assists.

(PS: and this my friends is why I did not go for Chilwell: he blanked and is now off for Caicedo. Next week, maybe he is better.)

[Woodie]

Westham giving Chelsea a good beating just to remind them on how tough & brutal the Premier league can be...[ team Chiwell blank ]

And this is just week two, hope by week 5 these teams will have better fitness and coordination with the team, otherwise very pathetic results from the so called big teams  

Only Ace in hand Arsenal 
Hope Arsenal prove to be the real deal to give City a good run for their money...Let's go gunners lol

[Harkorede]

Westham giving Chelsea a good beating just to remind them on how tough & brutal the Premier league can be...[ team Chiwell blank ]

I couldn't feel much than knowing I have Areola on the bench, he saved a penalty, a couple of other saves for 8 points already, plus 2 extra ones in coming for a total of 10 points, while Pickford with zero points was my starting GK... 10 solid points would have made all the difference in the world right now for me.

--------------------------

I couldn't feel worse than Chelsea, because I can't imagine breaking the record of the most expensive penalty in the world, ~120m pounds worth of penalty 

[darxiaomi]

No way man, and not related with my last post but, man i never see a player play SO BAD like Caicedo today, he enter the game like he was sleep, no strength at all.

About Chelsea team.... i dont see so much light in the end of the tunnel, seems like they are stills tuck in the same vibes from alst season, i dont see any good play make by them. They play with one more man for 20/25 minutes and they create 0 chances.

[Trofo]

(PS: and this my friends is why I did not go for Chilwell: he blanked and is now off for Caicedo. Next week, maybe he is better.)

But that is exactly my point, yes he got bad points this week but we are not picking players for just one week, we are picking them for a period of at least 5 weeks and if we manage to get somebody to last whole season in our squad we did wonders for our team. I still believe Chilwell will be such player baring some serious injury and there isn't some other defender I would rather have than him. I really hope Haaland, Chilwell, Estupinan and Saka positions will be set and forget in my team.

Chelsea is now embarking on great run of fixtures and I would really like to know if Melo Gusto looked ok? And how dangerous Jackson was? Those two could find themselves in my team real easy.

[Smartvirus]

Where is my good friend and brother Igebotz,,, Remind me again… why do I need Chelsea player within my ranks?
Is this what the better team and a fvcking good next 5 games looks like? Naaaahhhh, what’s going to be the highest poking of any Chelsea player from this game, it’s surely going to be worth nothing right… well, the league is just begun so, we continue to watch but, I hold my peace on Chelsea players at the time.

Obviously. Same old shit with very minor improvements. The issue with Chelsea from last season has been a lack of a consistent striker and they approach the game like they’ve got it in the bag, you don’t see that rush, that enthusiasm to win, that doing your best to put it on target from Chelsea players.

Chelsea managed it to get so many crosses across the box but, no one is always there to make that good enough lift to head the ball. It’s just sad for Caicedo, huge money and gave out a penalty in his first appearance, that’s going to weigh heavily on him.

[CLS63]

My substitute goalkeeper was also Areola just as it was the same for the squad of most people. But I must say that I'm happy anyway for having Ederson. I was expecting more from Haaland and Manchester United players this week however they were able to collect very few points.

I'm glad I did! Halaand is terrible without KDB. He's going to struggle as long as KDB is out. Watkins 10 pointer saved my week.

It's a waste of time to spam crosses against tall Westham defenders. We had an awful and unfortunate day. We played brilliantly, had the most opportunities, and still lost. Enzo's PK miss affects the game's outcome. Can't blame Caidedo for that tackle; he came into the game with his head held high and high hopes, but he will come through. Poch's lineup was once again awful.

I was seriously considering getting Chilwell sometime in the next 2 weeks after attending to critical areas of my squad that needed changes but now, I won't be too quick about that. Chelsea's team was just terrible and for someone priced at 115M like Caicedo, I wasn't surprised to see him perform even poorer. After going through his stats, I was super glad that Liverpool lost the race to Chelsea and they bought him at an overpriced rate. Its looking Pochettino is not the going to save Chelsea as he couldn't make massive difference at Tottenham or PSG.

I was considering Jackson as a second striker but its obvious he won't shine if he's getting poor service delivery from a lacklustre Chelsea midfield.

Replaced Burn with Estupinan (I like the guy but he's got Liverpool for GW3 and hasn't kept a clean sheet so far). My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. J. Pedro next to leave my team came from bench and blew the only point he could provide for the entire gameweek. I need to get me a Mitoma.

[Rruchi man]

GW2 has just been filled with many strange happenings. Very many unexpected performance from players who I expected to do well this week. And even the players that I was not so sure of how their performance will go, they did not perform unexpectedly, their performance went as expected, which is very poor.

It's a waste of time to spam crosses against tall Westham defenders.

You will wonder If Poch did not know this, and know that that strategy will not work. Terrible line-up, terrible tactics.

We had an awful and unfortunate day. We played brilliantly, had the most opportunities, and still lost. Enzo's PK miss affects the game's outcome.

Enzo played well, but because he missed a penalty, that strikes out his good performance. Had he scored that penalty, Chelsea would have had something more to fight for.

Can't blame Caidedo for that tackle; he came into the game with his head held high and high hopes, but he will come through.

Poor debut performance from him compared to James Ward-Prowse who cost way lesser than him. He will play well, but we do not need to think too much or expect much of him. See Mykhailo Mudryk, he is just a regular player right now too even though he is valued at almost the same price with Caceido.

I was considering Jackson as a second striker but its obvious he won't shine if he's getting poor service delivery from a lacklustre Chelsea midfield.

Jackson disappointed me too, he is on my team, and I was expecting points from him, just too bad!
