[Trofo]

We have one new player in our pool, welcome back to renato297, he played with us last season but was late to join this one. Considering he just now decided to do so he is probably doing quite well in first 2 GWs. In order to offset this possibility of advantage for renato and any other possible late joiners, icopress and I decided to give him -20 points penalty for joining after GW2. They will be deducted from his total score at the season end.


This seams like fair rule for the future:
Joining after GW1 - 10 points penalty
Joining after GW2 - 20 points penalty
Joining after GW3 - 30 points penalty
GW4 start - pool is officially closed

By the way I have made a 100 USDT side bet with Trofo as well. It was time for someone to challenge him.

Finally someone with a pair on him. Any other takers while you are above me in the rankings?

I'm on the same hill with Liverpool Quansah, don't wanna panic sell, I still believe he would play a crucial part when he returns from injury to retain initial price or even more. I have no doubt that Eze would make a huge attacking returns against us so I'm definitely going to keep. I'm getting frustrated. Lol

Quansah is a different beast, he maybe never gets that first team spot back if Konate now plays well. I am also planing on having 3 Liverpool and Quansah would take that valuable spot for me. Salah, Trent, Jota, Robbo all look super valuable.

If Konate sitting on the bench is the only chance of Quansah playing then i don't think he's ever going to have more playing time, he already fumbled in his first big 45 mins.

I'm going to hit the WC after the international break. Had enough

Free bets received, thank you so much.

I am still making up my mind on this.

The transfer window officially closes, and the highlight for me is that Sterling is going to become Arsenal's problem to deal with for a while.

Maybe Arteta can bring him back like he has done to Havertz, but I still will not bank on that, It is difficult to change a stingy player.

I think Sterling would be a hit for Arsenal, I think £6.9m is still quite to much of a risk too go for him, I would have gone for him if he were to be valued for =< £6m, Eddie Nketiah with Crystal Palace could also be another one to look out for, I just think they're still quite too pricey for now.


No new Centre Striker for Chelsea, so that means Nicolas Jackson is good have with the current Chelsea's run of fixtures

It is funny how a few days ago on Reddit people were saying that Arteta is not interested in Sterling at all and then he brings him in on deadline day.

I don't see him breaking into the starting XI at all, and definitely they don't buy him unless he somehow recreates his City form.

Kai Havertz first season with Chelsea is still better than all version of Arsenal Kai Havertz, I'm curious what you guys think he has improved on since leaving Chelsea...  ( Celebrating against his former clubs ?? Bayer and Chelsea)

Hopefully he hits and got us a decent fee before returning to his default Sterling. Chilwell to Manutd/Arsenal in January.

Frustrated that Watkins didn't drop in price, he was at 95% negative since the beginning of the week. I swapped Isak for him and was expecting to get him for 8.9.

If he blanks against Leicester, he'll get the drop and I'll lose an additional 0.1 mil. Still feel he's the better option than Isak for the upcoming games though.

Quansah is a different beast, he maybe never gets that first team spot back if Konate now plays well.

Yeah, agreed, but Konate never plays well

[Harkorede]

I decide to go with the saying "If it's not broken, do not try to fix it" for this game week, I only shipped Isak out for Nicolas Jackson, a goal from Havertz and assisted by Saka might have just helped start the week of good, hopefully there would be another one come the second 45 minutes of the match.

I guess we have the common idea of Isak being due to getting tossed, I didn't expect him to drop in value just yet looking at his fixtures.

I offloaded Nkunku last week same as Trofo, put Semenyo in his place, decided I'm going to try and now keep a transfer a week, and 1 to 2 m in the bank. I really wanted Saka but didn't know who to offload without the penalties. Suppose it was all right to wait in the end. Joao Pedro is a revelation, just wish he didn't get the yellow, and pulled off the win, heh heh.

Wood is also really doing well, to me.

Kept Isak for a while though, if I do swap him out it'll be to pack my midfield. Slowly, slowly, getting there.

P.S. Sad that it finally took me caving in to Haaland to stay competitive. FPL is broken

Many yellow and even a res card in this first day of this game week.

I did not take note of him in his first season in Chelsea, but I know that he was shit when Chelsea offloaded him to us, and Arteta turned things around with him. He scored again today.

I offloaded Nkunku last week same as Trofo, put Semenyo in his place,

Semenyo ended up being a good choice, he scored the first goal for Bournemouth that led to their 2-3 comeback win against Everton, who had a two goal advantage. If he had not gotten a yellow card early in the game, he should have had more points.  I brought in Mbeumo for Nkunku, and he scored two goals, but just like Semenyo, he picked up an early yellow card.

Vardy was disappointing again; he could not even get the ball. To make things worse, he picked up a yellow card too.

Flekken was heading to pick up more points than he ended up with, but the late South Hampton goal ruined it all.

I was expecting a goal from Smith Rowe against Ipswich, it didn't happen.

[Harkorede]

freaking Haaland is going to ruin every fun that comes with the FPL

It's not even halftime yet and he has 2 goals to his name, and another extra 3 points that'd likely accompany that, if anyone that failed to use their triple captain chip last week did for this week, they sure would be licking their lips already, fck!!!

[CLS63]

As I was expecting the Arsenal - Brighton match to end up with many goals, I chose Saka for the captain role in my team this week. However because of the foolish red card Rice got, Arsenal were only able to get a draw with a 1-1 score at their home stadium. When it comes to Haaland, he scored 2 goals against West Ham in the first 30 minutes of the match already. I was really unlucky with my choice as a result.

Wood is doing good for me as well. Too bad I left him on my bench to let ESR and Rogers a bit of playing time. Expensive call. But at least I gave the captain band to Haaland. Got 3 goals, 3 bonus points and he could have had even more. 15M is a lot but Norwegian robot is worth it.

Did you guys see that graphic about players with most hat tricks? He is already way up top and he took like 20% of the games others have to accomplish that.

Even more unlucky is that Haaland is not in my squad.

Which striker can score every game, and twice only Haaland is a human robot who can score a lot of goals, no other striker can match him.

Fuck man, this man is a complete non sense. i dont have him and without him is almost impossible if he still in this path. Is carrying everybodys fantasys teams, two round in a row.

Haaland is single handedly rendering every team without him clueless, it’s him versus the entire team of those who don’t have him (like myself), 6 goals in two games, how is anyone suppose to keep up without him ?

Perhaps it’s time to press the panic button and get him in at all cost.

As I said above he is 15M for a reason. It is not like you expected him to be poor when you didn't pick him. I am guessing you expected that extra money invested in other players to cover his points. If there isn't captaincy factor I think they would cover him with no problems. But we have captaincy and that is why it is worth paying extra for Salah and Haaland.

I had same logic for Salah. I don't have him, but I went with theory that Arnold + Jota + Saka will manage to outscore something like Salah + quansah + some 7M mid. And I went with Haaland as premium since there isn't City player that can cover him while I think Jota will score about 70% of Salah points while he has first team place and Arnold should add that remaining 30% over Quansah. Then it leaves pure profit for whatever Saka does against 7M mid.

I am also hoping Rogers can cover a bit for Watkins. And I miscalculated here since I left Wood on the bench just to play Rogers. You get some right and others backfire spectacularly. Just a how FPL works. Tomorrow I expect Eze to destroy Chelsea and Madueke to stay on the bench. Just in spite of all his new owners

There's always one idiot everyweek - Pedro scored an important goal and got booked for a silly reaction in the 90+, went from a potential 10 Pointer to 8  well, I'm not mad but the yellow card was very silly.

Two consecutive hattrick for Halaand and my TC chip is still intact, I'm so mad at myself right now. GW9 we go then......

Look guys. Learn from my past 2 seasons. I refused to have Haaland, and got nowhere. Now I have him in my squad. I still want him to do badly, so this horror spectacle of must-have Haaland can end.

I even took him off captaincy today, thinking Salah is hungry and energetic, but even regular Haaland is simply a robot as Trofo says, and must be in your squad at all costs. I must still hope Salah will go crazy tomorrow and redeem the captaincy.

It's a big shame, FPL is broken, but if we want to play, we play by those broken rules.

Yeah, Trofo was actually right about the thought process that brought about not going with Haaland to start, no because I expected him to not do well, but we all would agree that this is beyond normalcy to begin with. I chose to not start with Haaland but plan on having him the rest of the way from when I plan to WC’d and why is because other than Ipswich, Man City’s fixture on paper shouldn’t have had Haaland on 7 goals in 3 games, I just felt teams like Arsenal and Liverpool who seemingly have better fixtures and more players to target, for every goal Liverpool scores without Salah’s involvement you could expect a Jota/Diaz involvement and the same thing goes for Arsenal with Saka, where Havertz could come to the rescue but for City and Guardiola’s style Haaland is the only feasible attacking player with guaranteed minutes. If City’s first game of the season were to be against another team aside Chelsea, I sure wouldn’t have started without Haaland.
