I want to get TAA and Son instead, so that should be two attacking assets instead of just 1. Tsimikas will also be sold as part of that.

Then my defense will be:

Trippier - Saliba - TAA

Didn't take a look at your team but having TAA, Saliba and Son at this stage of the season means you're letting go of Salah and Halaand to foot the transfer fees or you're downgrading Three midfielders to achieve this.

You should be curious about how goals he's going to conced cause Brighton is 100% scoring in this one.

I wasn't expecting Hwang to be in the squads of this many people. I also transferred Hwang on gw11 and I'm very happy because of my decision. If he wasn't unlucky last week I think that I could have won many more points with Dominic Solanke. I have been able to collect very few points from goalkeepers this season. It is really surprising that Onana is one of the goalkeepers who are bringing the most points in FPL.

[nelson4lov]

Salah and Haaland blanked today and it looks like gw 15 delivered low points across the board for everyone. Might be too early to conclude so I'd keep my fingers crossed till Tottenham and Newscastle's game are done. For the first time, FPL's injury update was correct. Doku didn't make the match day squad despite Guardiola saying he might make the squad the day before. I hope it's not so serious.

QQ: How are you some guys able to own Salah, Haaland, Son and even Trippier in the same squad.

[Rruchi man]

I have just enough money to do it, and also if Mbeumo rises tonight then I will also be able to upgrade him to Saka next week (I'm tired of losing points to everyone else for not having Saka).

I had Saka, big regrets whenever I see him play and remember that I do not have him. In games where he does not score, he usually will register an assist. It is only in few games that he blanks.

I got some points from Palmer from his very good goal. The former Manchester city reserve players talking about Sterling and Palmer are contributing a lot to Chelsea, and sometimes even more than their record signings.

I was playing around with transfers to get all of them in my current squad and it would cost me 16 points.. decisions decisions.

also Trend Alexander.

In my case, I already had Haaland and Trippier in the first week. It took several changes and downgrades until I got enough money in the bank to transfer Son to my squad. 

I also tried to get Salah, but the unexpected injuries and suspensions postponed the plan.

Change of plan!

Mbeumo just had to get himself injured before Sheffield United, so Saka comes in now. TAA will have to wait until after next GW.

A bit annoyed at having Palmer on my bench and Sterling + Watkins doing fuck all this gameweek though.

@icopress how are you still 5th and on a red arrow after catching all 3 TAA returns?

[Harkorede]

Change of plan!

That makes two,
I remember complaining about having Matty Cash in my facing Manchester City not knowing he would eventually miss the game, and Man City wouldn't even score a goal in the game, I'm glad to have kept hold of my transfer because it would have gone to almost total waste, but now I can get my team to my preffered taste with just an additional 4 points hit, or even my 2 free transfers could do.

[cryptofrka]

Salah's really playing like a midfielder this season. He did get a lot of goals so far, but he's a lot more further from goal than I initially thought he'd be.

He was furious that he was replaced yesterday, but he did play a shitty game. Hopefully he improves, but he'll need to be transferred out soon anyway.

[CLS63]

I assume that you have decided to get Haaland instead of Watkins. Our squads are really resembling each other however I'm jealous of you because you have Trippier.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been making me win good amount of points for two weeks. However I selected Salah as the captain as I was expecting much more contribution from him this week but he couldn't score or make an assist.

Salah is not as young as he was, At his age, some players were no longer able to even be of any effect on their teams. He was scoring at some point in the season, but now contributing more in games like a midfielder. He is fast approaching his end as a player for Liverpool because if things continue like this, he will consider a fresh challenge in Saudi Arabia where he is a hot target.

Bad week for many of my players who gave me good points last week.

[cryptofrka]

I go for Maddison, he gets injured. Then for Bowen - injured. Mbeumo - yep, injured. Damn you, fantasy.

Chelsea has an easy schedule so Sterling's a really good substitution, but I already have Palmer from Chelsea. 2 players from a cointoss team like that is a big risk.
No better alternatives for me at this point in time though, let's try it for a few games and see were it takes me.

Didn't take a look at your team but having TAA, Saliba and Son at this stage of the season means you're letting go of Salah and Halaand to foot the transfer fees or you're downgrading Three midfielders to achieve this. .

Right now my squad is

Kelleher (Areola)
Trippier - Saliba - Tsimikas (Andersen Evans)
Saka - Salah - Sterling - Gordon (Palmer)
Watkins Alvarez Haaland

0.0 in the bank

I can sell Andersen for 4.8 and Salah for 12.8 and get Trent for 8.0 and Son for 9.6

Exact amount of funds to do that

Or I can wait until next week and get TAA at 8.1 and Odegaard at 8.3, 1.2 left in the bank.

Then I can upgrade Alvarez, Kelleher later.

The problem is I just bought Saka so if I do these now I will take a hit.

Or I will be priced out of Son because TAA is rising tomorrow.

Now Areola is injured. I might play with no goalkeeper next week.

[CLS63]

I can't believe that I have become the 1st of the week by collecting only 50 points. I assume that this week was very bad for all of us. I'm going to use my free transfer right for a goalkeeper as Areola has got injured. Because of Chelsea's fixture James looks like a good alternative in defense. Do you think transferring James is a reasonable decision?

I can sell Andersen for 4.8 and Salah for 12.8 and get Trent for 8.0 and Son for 9.6

I also thought of selling Salah. However I gave up later on because of not wanting to buy him back for 13.1.

I am thinking about James too but his problem is that he is made of glass. He might return vs. Everton and Sheffield but then break into a hundred pieces after that and be gone for the rest of the run.

AFCON will probably bring his price down to 12.8 so I don't think you will buy him at a loss (unlike Mbeumo! )

You know Mbuemo is going to AFCON too, and he is now injured, he will have a lot of price drops in the future when people realize that. Too make it even worse he has a blank in GW18. Mbuemo is the easiest sell of the season for me.

James is always injury prone and now we are entering crazy holiday season in PL. I am skipping him.

Congratulations on the free bet, will be paid on Monday as usual. This was a bad week for most players so your combo of low owned Trent/Hwang brought you this victory.

You are right. It is my mistake. I have forgotten about AFCON completely (Thankfully the only African player in my squad is Salah). When we look at Liverpool's fixture it might be really very reasonable to sell Salah now. However as I don't have any free transfer right in my hand I'm not capable of doing this.

Thanks!  By the way do you think of organizing a tournament just as in the previous AFCON?

Did I? I don't even remember it. What was it Superbru pool? I can do that. Not sure how much I can get from sponsors but I am quite sure I can get something. We make a buy in of 2 mBTC and have a bit of fun for a few weeks.
