It is a learning process. Sometimes adding a player while he is in excellent form might not give you points but to add them before they hit form is a difficult task. I will try my best to avoid repeating the error I made last week. Either I will select my team within a short time or very early in the morning before the deadline.

It is a difficult balance to strike and there is no good solutions. Moving for player early gives you price rises but sooner or later it will backfire spectacularly. If only everyone waited until the last day, they would be no price changes before that and we would all have maximum info

Well, that's it, boys. I didn't want to waste too much time so used up my free transfers, finally got the Chelsea extra guy (Guiu) out, and brought in Watkins, while still keeping Bowen hahaha. Watch me spring a surprise

Why on earth did you buy Watkins? The man hasn't even scored this season.

Be if you scramble his moniker, you get "Buy a watress" 

I decide to roll my transfer and get the bench boost chip out of the way already but nothing is working, Nottingham finally found their scoring gear and still conceded a goal themselves too, Tottenham with 2 goals conceded within 30 minutes, everything that could bad, have gone worse so far.

My transfers would have been wasted If I had made any changes anyway, but at least Mateta is somehow on the scoresheet, it's going to be a pathetically low scoring week for me.

[igebotz]

How on earth was that a yellow card for KDH ? I’ve never see anyone get booked for taking a set piece too quickly. PGMOL and Liverpool ain’t getting the allegations any time soon. KDH is my fucking Frimpong auto sub for those asking.  

The Ekititie guy is good, Isak is going to need luck breaking into that starting lineup.

5 games, zero clean sheets that’s brutal

[Hhampuz]

I used wildcard to get out bruno and get in palmer, only for bruno to score and palmer to go out after 20min 

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Oh come on im full of Chelsea players, that red card super early kills me and i dont know how much until the end of the game.

Cole Palmer out at 21 minutes, it feels like burning 10 millions. 

I know this is not gonna be a good round for me, the only good i did it was i save the transfer so for the next one i can have 2 to spend and suit better players without get a penalty.

Disaster! And Palmer looks injured too - that's our 12 years of not winning at old Trafford, it's a curse written on stone. 

Sanchez was stupid for that tackle but that's something our defenders should've prevented from happening in the first place. Remove Cucurella and James from the back and you're left with two pieces of woods in front of Sanchez.

TV off, changing my profile bio in a bit.

[buwaytress]

What. A. Disaster.

Chelsea assets negative, and I actually benched Sanchez but used BB. What the hell are this team doing whenever I count on them?

I'm with Ige here, dumb red but it's his defence. I switched off after they let Casemiro score. And here I thought they were title contenders.

Yep, that'll be me. He was a first-choice mid for me, I almost thought I wouldn't have him when he seemed destined to head out but so glad they kept him. With him on the team, even if Bournemouth loses, he picks up points.

I will try my best to avoid repeating the error I made last week. Either I will select my team within a short time or very early in the morning before the deadline.

Don't think I'll ever learn. But it was more of a need to move Bowen on... and of course, he scored today. Look at me, I don't know what I'm doing.

You have figured me out! How?!

But seriously, because Watkins is too good to blank 4 in a row, surely far too good for 5?

Same BB for me but a red card means this will actually be my worst points on the bench in five GWs... How I managed to choose this week of all weeks, is beyond me but that is the roulette of Fantasy I guess. Fucking red card and no points for anything.

[ILuckyGuyI]

3 Chelsea players in my team... So I'm sharing the same fate as you guys.    Thankfully my goalkeeper isn't Sanchez. I've already sold him and don't think of bringing him back into my team after seeing this nonsense challenge by him...

Thankfully Casemiro has also been sent off. This might be an opportunity for Chelsea. I hope Enzo and Pedro do something in the 2nd half. Goal, assist, I don't care. Just need some score contribution.

I never believed we were any title contender - we almost bottled a comfortable top4 finish last season because of our defence; even Burnley defence isn't this bad.

Was hoping Enzo Mascara would get a new goalie and maybe two experienced CBs this season after last season but got none.

Imagine struggling against a charity organization ( United ) for two complete seasons.

What is crazy to me is that you guys were so stacked on goalies to the point of being forced to loan/sell some of them, how did Sanchez end up being the #1 with no major backup? Silly

[inspace]

My rating is getting lower and lower every week.

My goalkeeper got -3 points, and Xavi, who I brought in this week, hasn't even started. I feel terrible.

Surely, he has Enzo Mascara nudes somewhere at home? Cause football wise there's no way to explain how he's still no1.  Loaned out our best goalie Petrovic and eventually sold him for no reason.

Mike Maignan and Donnarumma were both twerking for us to get them on the next available flights btw. Chelsea is hard to explain.

Groin issues don't usual just go out the window like that, remember Isak had that same issue persistently last season and was only able to play through for majority of the season before opting for surgery after the season, I think Palmer  will be extremely limited this season, he will always play important games when fit, but we might not get consistent 90 minutes as usual from him. So, it's going to be a Joao Pedro's and whoever the hell decides to set up next team for the time being.

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

I'm really glad I held on to Bruno, because I was going to downgrade for Paqueta or Jadon Anthony to facilitate a Haaland upgrade, I steered clear of Anthony who eventually scored, but his next fixtures are tough, however it's not as though the matches he's played so far were any easy on paper, he's played Liverpool, Man United, Tottenham and Nottingham in 4 of their games so far, and he's managed 3 goals and 1 assist, at just 5.5m and just 1.6% ownership

[cryptofrka]

How did Sanchez get -3? It says he gets -1 for 2 goals conceded and he didn't concede any of the goals.
Won't change much for you fellas, but should be changed to -2.

Happy that I picked Dubravka to start ahead of him today.

Generally - seems like it will be a low-scoring round, unless we see fireworks in tomorrow's Arsenal - City game.

Definitely it wasn’t fair on chance been actually punished for conceding when he obviously left without conceding any goal, come to think of it if Sanchez hadn’t been deducted the point for conceding goals he didn’t concede shouldn’t he be getting the point for a clean sheet? I think FPL needs to make this rules clear, there defenders that get the clean sheet points once they are taken off even if the team concedes later I think it should reflect on goalkeepers too but the threshold should be 60 plus minutes must have been played.

It will be a very poor week for many managers tomorrow needs to be good, I think many managers are heavily dependent on the new savior Semenyo and some looking forward to getting defensive points from Newcastle United defenders and them lastly the face off between Halaand and Gyokeres which should any or both of them fail to have an attacking return will simply confirm a very bad week for almost all managers

[Harkorede]

Perhaps not the worse bench boost for me after all depending on what Reijnders and Reinildo provides for me later on since Tosin came there was no way I would have gotten an autosub for Esteves if I didn’t use the bench boost and saving my transfer proved rather better of, I guess everyone is having a tough start to the season, so who am I to complain ?

—————

Just a question, am I the only one who thins  the newly promoted teams defenses aren’t as terrible as they are advertised on the FDR, perhaps except when the play again the big teams and some kind of inferiority complex sets in.

1. Leeds have only conceded only 2 goals against 4 NNPT except the 5-0 riot vs Arsenal.
2. Sunderland have also only conceded 1 against 3 NNPT
3. Burnley have conceded the most against NNPL which is 8 goals, 3 against Tottenham, and 3 against Man United, but only one against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

*NNPT = Non-newly promoted teams…
 
Can this be considered just a limited data to work with still, or could it be some worth some serious considerations going forward ?

Nobody can beat my +3 points Bench Boost from GW1

Sunderland are no pushovers. It would take a massive implosion for them to get relegated.

I think Burnley and Leeds will go down though. Perhaps so will Wolves. People often forget that the only other team that was performing as terribly as ManU and Tottenham last season was Wolves. If we ignore the three relegated sides.


I am fed up with Cucurella. From now on he is going to be benched.

I was super happy with my bench boost until Chelsea started and Sanches decided he would rather take a shower than stay in the rain. But even with that -3 counted my GW rank is still super good, in top 100k and I just hope it will stay like that. Only possible if Aston Villa actually scores some goals and Watkins/Rodgers get involved.

[JollyGood]

This is exciting. It is great to see how some of your teams are moving up and down the table and how you are selecting your players 

After the games played yesterday, I accumulated the most points with 52 and jumped from 18th to 8th in the process. Of the three games taking place today, I only have one player from the six teams therefore expect others to perform better than me when the total points for the weekend are added.
