You were up to a flying start and moved up pretty high before Man United game. If I Haaland in my team, I’m not sure I would have captained Bruno for this match, I guess that’s a blessing in disguise, since my alternatives aren’t doing badly for this week either.
I don't know what to do. Before the Ispwich game, I don't want to sell Isak, Wirtz, and Frimpong, but there's no other way to get the players I want.
It's very difficult to get Palmer or Bruno, and practically impossible to get both without catastrophic damage to the defense. I might get both if Konsa starts tomorrow and I can optimize the defense as much as possible (then I think I'll have 3 x 4.5, 2 x 4 + 8.5 goalkeepers... but as I said, that would be a disaster because I won't be able to be flexible.
The only way such defensive combination would have been worth a try is if you're not using your wildcard to put such team together and you're trying to maximize the return the premium players are currently providing, moreover for now cleansheets are looking super random, it's hard to tell which other usually good team would be solid defensively and so it might not be terrible to have multiple 4.5 and 4.0 defenders especially the ones that have DC potential, those extra 2 points could easily make up for the differences. However, if you're using your wildcard already the first thing you'd want to prioritize is stability and longevity, and that's at least two solid defenders, and a GK, that would already put you in the realm of settling for a 5-6m MD and 7m FWD if you're to pick Bruno and Haaland + Isak... it probably could have been better if you never hard Wirtz to begin with, he's nothing to write home about just yet, could be better if he switches to the LW with (Gakpo leaving), and for me Frimpong is too expensive at 5.5m for whatever shitshow Liverpool is doing at the back, and he's not carrying much offensive threat to be worth the punt either.
Honestly, I don't think your team is bad at all, it actually feels more like a stable team you'd want to put together for the final weeks of the season than one to start it, and I think parts of it looks wrongly structured at eats up a chunk of your budget as well, Tzolis and Odegaard for instant are prized at 13m, while two other starting Arsenal defense that could provide you with similar points over time are sitting at 11m, that's extra 2m that could factor into Crooks and Mbeumo to Gross/Le Fee and Palmer. Konsa starting could ease things for your budget, but would you want to bring him already while they place Chelsea next though ?
Palmer would likely find his way into my team from game week 4 after Arsenal in place of Mbeumo, and that would easily be at the expense of Gabriel to a 5-6m defender, or Foden to a 5.5m for me, whatever Palmer does now before then, I can live with Foden and Mbeumo made up for it already this week.
[...]Imagine those that have Pascal Gross in this round.
I see that Rruchi man и lnspace have him on the bench, and he'll come in for Sangare and Richarlison. A very big catch.
He's the guy everyone, including myself who picked Enzo Le Fee thought they were picking, I'm sure I'll have him or Sangare (the good one), maybe both of them in my wildcard team, depending on how long it takes Isak to start living up to is price tag.
