My biggest struggle for the game week was deciding who my captain should be, I really would have threw my chip on Son Heung Min if I had him for this game week, and Salah have been selection for this game week and I immediately switched to him after the last game week had ended. However, looking at how short Liverpool are on fire power for this game week, TAA and the likes absence (that could be a blessing in disguise for Salah captaincy though) made reconsider and switched back to Haaland, because nothing is more sickening than have your captain blank in the first game of the week, and have to watch every other match and hoping other players captain pick fires blank too.

I don't have Salah in my team but if I had, he would definitely make him captain for this game week. Coming into this game, Salah has done considerably well, Ngl. But since he's not in my team, Haaland has always been my captain and the returns have been good. Haaland might most likely blank this week so that's something to keep in mind coming into this game week.

Salah to score or assist 1 goal at the very minimum for today's game if he plays his cards right.

[Woodie]

Today's Liverpools starting 11 looks weak without the likes of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk(red card) responsible for defensive duties and looking at how much they have allowed Wolves to come close towards their goal I see this going Wolves way unless the like of Diaz and Nunez are brought on to try and salvage a point or something...and with this result, this is what I dislike about international breaks...they just disturb a teams momentum!!!
Btw, anybody having Liverpool assets, I feel your pain!

It was surely a weak team Liverpool had in the first half and you could tell by how badly they played and how Wolverhampton capitalized on every chance they’ve got. Can’t say but, it was cool having to watch M. Semedo handle the ball through the Liverpool players, he seemed quite confident with his play and it was all Wolverhampton in the first half but, the Tempo of the game is changed now. You could always trust Klopp to come up with some interesting switch in play for a second half and that seems to be the case as you could see Liverpool mounting so much pressure in the second half.

I wonder just why Klopp had Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez on the bench. I mean, these are the players that had made huge impacts for Liverpool just before the international break and coming to see them not in the first line up… that was something I didn’t understand with Klopp but, he’s got his hands to it.


I got M. Salad off my team to have enough balance to get some players in like Maddison and J. Alvarez. Now, M. Salah has got his assists and is still out here looking for his chance on goal. Hope I don’t get to regret my decision.

So I forgot about fantasy after the international break and I tried to open it to set up some changes like 5 minutes before the first game started. As always, I had to re login into my account because the site logged me out again. I forgot my password LOL  , tried several times and had to click on the forgotten password button but there was no email received hence I didnt have enough time to even make any changes this week

I guess it is what it is. Hoping to get close to average points this week

I still kept my captaincy on Nunez... knowing he had some inury from international, knowing he might not start, because I really thought Wolves would be a good reset team.

Then Liverpool happened, and I thought it was all over for us.

Salah still yet on my trigger so I missed points from his hattrick of assists but he will soon be on my sights, if I can sort out my midfield.

Still think your problem is self-made. You have Haaland. Let him take away your captaincy headache!

Both slight knocks/tiredness. Nunez panting 5 mins after coming on haha. Those LatAm internationals are murderous journeys...

5 minutes before the first kick off means, you were already 25minutes late to make any changes on your time. The game league would run into a reset or preparation mood and you can’t even do much then except, read news and check fixtures.
Hope you’ve been able to recover login details though.

I still kept my captaincy on Nunez... knowing he had some injury from international, knowing he might not start, because I really thought Wolves would be a good reset team.

Captaincy on Darwin Nunez! Come on, he haven’t got that consistency yet to carry such a heavy challenge. He played a slight unstable football today, he’s footwork weren’t right as he seemed to struggle in finding balance and rhythm with the ball. Although, their presence on the pitch brought about a lot of difference to the dynamics of the game.
You might be lucky with 4 points off Darwin for your captaincy, lol.. Klopp had you on this one.

Salah still yet on my trigger so I missed points from his hattrick of assists but he will soon be on my sights, if I can sort out my midfield.

Don’t want to have regrets on that yet but, that was good enough for Salah in this game. Having a stationary defense built about him with Rayan and M. Salah’s intent for the game pretty much changed to giving assists. Such ingenious passes he chipped in, making sure there was a defender up ahead to put the goal scorers on sight.
Am still looking up to 2 of my introduced players to make up for those points so, I have little course for regrets yet.

Salah started this season really very good. I need to transfer him in some way. However before adding Salah to my squad I need to get rid of Stones. As his cost is very high I need to make 3-4 transfers from my squad at the same time to be able to transfer him. And I don't want to use any boost right now. Pervis Estupiñán's not being in the starting eleven and Baldock and Stones' being injured who are on my bench did harm to me a lot.

[Igebotz]

Etsu nowhere to be found!

If you're surprised, you're not familiar with buwatress games yet. He has an unrivalled affection for Nunez, and he basically left the captaincy on him for the majority of last season, even when every manager was taking him out for misfiring, but Buwatress stood by.

I hate seeing Liverpool win, but they deserve everything they get. I've learned not to celebrate Liverpool losing until the last whistle. Their comeback is incredible.

This season, every GK position is a shambles, with no single viable option.

Yanited getting fired at from all cylinders! Good for me I guess, because JWP struck home again.

Spurs.... stop being spursy!

What can I possibly say to all those millions of players who brought triple Tottenham players on WC and some others of points hit because they play a newly promoted team, I can’t help but laugh because millions of them will have to ship one or two of those Tottenham players again because of their next two fixtures.

Haaland saved the day yet again, but I’m wondering if he purposely left that Bernando Silva goals because it was goal bound already ??

I almost bought into the Son crusade, but after looking at the price and ownership rate, I decided against it. Although  I got Maddison, who I know will be more valuable this season than Son. Richarlison got a goal and an assist - a clear message to Son owners.

Yes, he left it on purpose; he was about to kick it but stopped when he spotted the direction of the ball. He didn't want to steal the goal like Harry Kane does. Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Liverpool all had remarkable comebacks.

I'd agree that Maddison is an essential buy, and regardless the fixture he just can't be complete tamed because of how dynamic he can be even when he's not the one scoring the goals, he still impact the game on every level, once I get him in, he's going to be in for the long ride and a permanent buy for me. I'm tired of having to think Bruno or Rashford or Martinelli or Odegaard, because all these player have multiple options in their team and often have the points distributed across board.

if one can only have several Haaland in the team, that would be great
Brigthon played great match, but almost no asset from their squad provided value (have sold Joao Pedro after seeing him on the bench, and now he scores, while there is no March near points)

nevertheless, still hope to see clean sheet for Newcastle, that would be good for my team, had no Fulham players, and all other defenders are without clean sheet on 3:1 score round

[cryptofrka]

Shame that Haaland scored late again - but then again, I'm happy that he ended the game with only 1 goal.
I also thought that the Elliott's goal will be another Salah's assist, unfortunately it was written as an own goal - would have been 6 more points for me.

A lot of mixed lineups after the international breaks, not quite unhappy with how it went for my team so far. I plan to do some transfers this week, I might need to drop Rico Henry due to injury concerns.
Hope that Stones will be back soon, he's by far my biggest failure this season.

Same goes for Arsenal and Brighton, you never know who will get the points from their players. At least Arsenal has first 11 sorted, Brighton will have so many rotations up front that I don't think we can have any player from them in our squad.

That is why players that are focal points for their teams are essential. United is very poor but if they win big you know that majority of the points will go to Rashford and Fernades. That is why I still have them, despite getting only misery from them so far.

So I forgot about fantasy after the international break and I tried to open it to set up some changes like 5 minutes before the first game started.

You are both wrong, deadline is 1 hour and 30 minutes before first game. So that official line ups aren't available yet. @arallmuus you were more than an hour late and nothing would help you today to make your changes.

I for one intentionally did not make any changes. Just switched my goalkeepers, Turner turn to disappoint me Was thinking about a lot of transfers mainly Son and Newcastle defender. In the end decided to save transfer, if Chelsea keeps a clean sheet, perfect decision, if they concede I am gonna regret not taking Botman.

I had this kind of conviction about Nunez since he signed for Liverpool and he's easily one of my favorite Liverpool players right now. Same conviction with Szoboszlai right now. However, I just don't feel comfortable having him on my team. I just want to enjoy seeing him play good football this season.

Btw, I feel the same about Chelsea. I'm happy you ended last season in bottom half of the table and you're already there again this season.


QQ: Any idea how automatically substitution work? Eustopinan didn't play today but Lamptey did so I was thinking Lamptey will automatically be subbed in for Eustopinan? Having happened so far.

This gameweek has been super weird.

So Mitoma and Etsu are the only essential Brighton players at the moment i guess. I'm stucked with Rashford and Bruno too since I cant afford to both Salah and Halaand in my team.

In the end decided to save transfer, if Chelsea keeps a clean sheet, perfect decision, if they concede I am gonna regret not taking Botman.

I regret not taking -4 to bring in Schar for Kabore when I had the chance, and I don't want Chelsea to have a clean sheet tomorrow because my long acca depends on both teams scoring to hit. I'm supporting both Bournemouth and Chelsea tomorrow. lol

Lamptey may likely switch in for you as he is the only DEF option on your bench. He had a great game.

A love affair huh! I wouldn’t have gotten involved if I knew.

J. Klopp is just that good. You could see him working his boys just before the half time. Calling Matip yo the sideline to get his instructions across and better still, Liverpool just managed to stay the game at just a goal difference for Klopp yo provide them a chance at a come back which they so successfully served Wolves that seems a lot weak in the second half.

Lamptey may likely switch in for you as he is the only DEF option on your bench. He had a great game.

I hope this becomes my case as, I’ve got two players missing on my team @Isak @Estupinan. Isak has been one of my unproductive investments. Don’t know how I got him here and everything I imagined just stayed in my imaginations. Lamptey better substitutes his 7 points for one of my zeros, I need that.

Very tight race at the top of the leaderboard today.
