Yeah man i know that, im argentinian  i change him for two things, one sentimental, to still have one Argentinian on team, and the second because Liverpool face a very strong rival and Manchester a weak one in his home, Garnacho can explode if he make the right things.

I doubt between him and Sterling, b ut i dont have the money to purchase Sterling so, i choose him, you see Sterling scores two goals.... fuck.

First tip I already noticed:
In the FPL, feelings or sympathies to certain clubs/players have absolutely no place - at least not if you want to be successful. You just have to think rationally...

For me it's also my first FPL season and when I think about how the first draft of my team looked like, I'm glad I realized that.

Yes you are 100% correct, but i play Fantasy for pure fun , im not good on this kind of games, and in sometimes i also forget to change the team , so i put some not so picked players, anyways Garnacho for me can be one of the biggest surprises of the league. Today finally Ten Hag not put him neither in the start and no come from sub.

So here comes Almiron for me rescue.....

Rasfhord yellow card, really pissed me, what an idiot.

You might be surprised to hear this, but I'm not aiming for the top of the log just yet; I'm just having fun with my pick while staying near to the gap. And my captaincy decision was completely based on my ST option's recent form, not on hitting the right differential. Halaand and City have the easiest draw this weekend, but Halaand has been horrible without KDB in the midfield, he's been isolated, and he's not getting enough service up front as usual, so I'm concerned about him blanking again.

Am having a hard time believing that you ain’t aiming to be at the top just yet. The weekly freebies is something you would want. I know I want that and again, the idea continues to be not staying far from the prizes but of course, that isn’t something you could predict from your picks.
Like, I wasn’t particularly proud of my team selection this week. I do baldy needed Bowen on my team because I knew what impact he could make to the game, he didn’t disappoint but then, my bank role didn’t allow it. Can’t believe just about £0.3m kept me away from getting them points from Bowen today. Mbeumo whom I acquired flopped. The whole Palace players was wack! Just few players left from absolute nothingness in the GW.

Trofo, seems our guy is Saka is back with the penalties.

I knew Saka was still Arsenal's penalty guy, because he handed the ball to Odegaard himself the last time out, and that was just out of courtesy, I believe or perhaps didn't feel confident enough, and would rather hand over the responsibility to someone else he believes could.


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

If there wasn't an imminent International break around the corner, God know I would pulled my first wildcard unapologetically, and I think I already have my go to players for this season, but the transfer is still open so, wildcard now before the end of the transfer window and international could do more harm than go, so I'm just going to try to stay afloat here, and not get hasty with some decisions. 

[CLS63]

I'm at the 1st position in the weekly table now. If the remaining matches don't change the result I'm about to win my first free bet. The thing that made me get ahead was my transferring Sterling to the midfield absolutely. I hope that Pep decides not to have Foden and Alvarez against Sheffield United by being crazy today.

Anything can happen with Pep and some rumors are already circulating that Foden did not travel with squad or been in training on Friday, tweet also said that he should "come by his own car later". There was also a mention of one defender but I forgot witch, maybe Walker? Anyway I went with Alvarez and his haul with blank from Foden would do me good.

Even Alvarez not starting would do me good.
As far as I am concerned Pep can leave both Alvarez and Haaland on the bench whole game and I will have 24 points to enter from my bench 

[Harkorede]

No Foden, No Alvarez ?? That's not going to to happen to honest with Bernardo Silva and KDB absent, no gonna happen, so don't bother to have your hope way too high, and I don't think Jeremy Doku's documents have been cleared to allow him take part in today's fixture.

I don't think there is a better time to have the most informative guess on what Guardiola starting XI would be, I'd even take any bet, that I'll be get between 9-10 predictions of the start eleven right.

[cryptofrka]

I have to find a way to get Maddison into my team. He's really playing offensively - he'll probably be a better choice than Odegaard.

Odegaard was huge in points last season and was an instant pick for me - I'll give him a few more games but I feel he'll have to be sacrificed.

There are also rumors of Salah going to Saudi Arabia - that would make Fantasy a bit more boring. Everybody will go with Haaland then.

So there are weekly free bets? I completely forgot about it. That is something I do not want. When the blank and DGW kick in after the international break, we'll know who the true managers are. We're just having a good time right now.

There are also rumors of Salah going to Saudi Arabia - that would make Fantasy a bit more boring. Everybody will go with Haaland then.

Salah already accepted the offer so I heard - are you worried about captain options or you're worried about your club retuning to pre- Salah era?

Foden: no , Alvarez: yes
the lineup for today's game vs. sheffieled utd has now been announced and PG has left Foden on the bench for now. Josko Gvardiol also starts again from the beginning and i think he will now be set in the defense as well.

Basically everyone who has captained Haaland is now out -2 points after that penalty miss. SMH.

First half was abysmal and City better get their gears up the second half.

Maybe this is what happened when Pep is not on the touchline.

[Igebotz]

After a 6 pointer last week, I benched M.Cash and switched to a 3-4-2 to accomodate Martinelli in the midfield. He just scored a first-half brace with an assist from Watkins.

Someone please inform Watkins that he is not a midfielder; enough with the assists; I need a goal! Without KDB, Halaand is having a bad day as usual. We'll have a conversation about Halaand's football ability one day, and I think I'll enjoy it.

E. Halaand PK Missed! -2 hahah I'm alive!

[cryptofrka]

Salah already accepted the offer so I heard - are you worried about captain options or you're worried about your club retuning to pre- Salah era?

Captain, I feel that I have the edge against all the people having Haaland.With Salah out of my team, I would have to go with Haaland as well.
Re Liverpool - I hoped that Arabs would come for him - getting ~150 mil for him is doable and would be beneficial for the club going forward.

We'll have a conversation about Halaand's football ability one day, and I think I'll enjoy it.

Nobody thinks he's a technically gifted player - sometimes he feels like he's never played football before.
Still - he's a teriffic striker, dangerous from all positions and basically undefendable. He's still got time to grow and he'll be unstoppable - even with his technical deficiency.

[NotATether]

Somehow, Darwin manages to steal 8 points (before bps), St. James Park, and everybody's NUFC clean sheet in the process  

Happy for him, but I had already sold him even before my wildcard - 1 + 1 + 8* points over 3 games is not a good ROI for attack.

Eg. Martinelli has average 4.5pts in the first two games, same as JWP in just one game. Then 3rd game week comes and the former blanks while the latter scores a banger. FPL Economics.

*pending BPS, likely to get all 3.

Sorry for this dumb question but I've read about the first break with unlimited transfers.

Any infos when this will happen? Might play my wild card this GW.

Never, there is no free unlimited transfers this season 


Congratulation Cls63 on winning GW3 free bet. 73 points in this round is very respectable, Sterling selection was inspired one, especially since it went against what most content creators shilled this week. This also propelled you to first place in table so now you are the one we have to chase

You still got a decent point off Watkins as your captain, his usual average but a double. Still, it appears to be better than the rest of us that let E. Halaand remain captain. He managed to get a goal though and 8 points off him is low but better than GW2.

You had M. Cash on the bench and he pulled 14 points, while Martinelli pulled just 2 points, that must hurt. Still, it’s a decent week to pull up and I must say, this has got to be one week where I made some bad decisions on my team.

Trippier did zero out on me! How disappointing, don’t know what’s wrong with him getting winch an unwarranted yellow card. In between, Klopp is such a magician to have managed to pull this off, getting the right substitute and making the difference on the pitch that even with 10 men, they fixed the score line.

Thanks, just used my wildcard to switch half of my team lol.
Am I right, that I can use unlimited transfers thru the whole week until the deadline on Friday?

Maybe not telling you this would be beneficial to me, but it's still way to early to use your wild card now, we just one game week left to play before an international break, and by the we get back the transfer window would be closed by then.

The international break is still often plagued with injuries, and the transfer window could string a couple of surprises, you will be better off using your wildcard then having almost 14 days to make your decisions and plan for the long term rather than just this coming week, because every player you're bringing in now still stand a chance of injured or traded before the transfer deadline, what would you do then if it's more what just one of two transfers can cover for.

Too late!
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you that this may not have been very well thought out.

Nevertheless, I have set up the team in such a way that I have a proper representative on the bench for almost every position. That wasn't the case before and that bothered me a lot. With my former team, I couldn't have solved this any other way than with the wild card.

[nelson4lov]

Another terrible week for me and dropped more points. I have to do better in the coming GWs. I don't know how Y'all do it with your selections and get those high points.

QQ: Why is everyone using their wild cards now? I thought it was better used in Double game weeks? Or am I missing something? (sorry if it has been asked before).
