Isak is a huge red flag right now which fucking sucks. I have been forced to take my first hit and buy Gyokeres. Who seems to be very good since the interational break and I hope he can transfer that form to Arsenal again.

You went from grace to grass with that transfer 

Gyokeres had an empty post all to himself, but dude refused to shoot the ball and his last pass to Saka was also ruined. What a week 
_______

I'm having a nice WC week and my team looks solid - I was aiming for a 100 points week but Saka and Gonzola didn't turn up today.

[rdluffy]

My goal for my first season is not to be the last person. I should at least finish better than one person

It will be easy to finish better than me hahaha

My goal for my first season is not to be the last person. I should at least finish better than one person

That's the importance of having a good bench

My bench is not so good, but not so bad either, now my team is more balanced after I use wildcard


Odegaard only scored a single point today  , but at least João Pedro earned me 12 points today
My mistake in picking the team today really cost me, though, because I wouldn’t have left Haaland as captain, I would have picked João Pedro today

But that’s part of the game,  I can’t afford to forget any GW anymore

And by the way, what a great game by Chelsea, I wonder if they managed to get the lineup right after the break?

That was the best lineup we've had this season by far - Caicedo is back from Injury, Pep Chavarria has been integrated into the team although Palastra is still not match fit to start games.  Henderson first PL start and he was fire.

We conceded but that wasn't anybody's fault- it was a mistake but still I won't touch our defensive assets for several reasons.

Yeah, what an idiot! Instead of shooting after getting past Trafford, he tried another dribble and lost everything. He didn't even manage to make a good pass to his teammates. No wonder he isn't in the starting lineup.
I can also say that I'm happy with how the weekend is going so far. 73 points, and maybe a few more tomorrow.

[MarryWithBTC]

I am not sure how i missed out on De Cuyper, and it hurts to see that almost everyone has him in their team, easy 15 points lost, except Gvardiol puts up a similar performance tomorrow, or Mitchell.

I am not sure how I even got De Cuyper in my team... I didn't plan for it, maybe I did copy and paste when I was serious about my team.

I know it is just half-time, but i have spent 45 minutes of my life regretting why i made Bruno Fernandes captain of my team. It has been one of those days for United were nothing seems to be going their way, they are lucky not to be down by a goal or two.

I don't know why I sold Mbeumo, honestly that stupid decision has cost me a lot.

[...]

Dude, you’ve got to be kidding. You’ve got Rogers as captain, a goal from Calafiori, and Raya picked up a bonus point ...

I nearly got Rogers over Saka but was decieved by an emergency AI

[Zaguru12]

You don’t know why you sold Mbeumo? Man has not been it this season and this down to the way Manchester United plays, Mbeumo was one of the most transferred out players from game week four and it was understandable so there was definitely a reason. The only thing now is that he might be good differential because with Sesko out and Amad back from injury it’s does seems like he will be in the center forward position until Carrick decides to saves his own job by tweaking this formation.

Anybody that has watched Chelsea games this season will most certainly see that they have missed a proper defensive midfielder like Caicedo who can not only recover balls but be a shield to the unreliable defense. His return should definitely give Chelsea hope, if they can keep the consistency. The major problem is now how to address the wing backs because they are the ones exposing the defense. A back three always leaks goals if they full backs are not dependable.

Good thing is, we have only one weakness at the moment: our defense and that's where I want to see major improvements going forward.

We have a new set piece coach, but we concede from set pieces every week - I sometimes wonder what they do in training that isn't reflected in our games.

The table is taking another shape - Harkorede, you're my next t target I'm done with Hhampuz and NotATether

[xLays]

Holding my wc chip this gw absolutely ruined my points. Went from the top 3 all the way down to 7th atm.
But you know what hurts even more? Captaining Bruno Fernandes just for him to get 1 point and yellow card. Like wtf.

Man United were literally seconds away from cleansheet that game, only for Solanke to score in the 90+2nd minute. They were playing against 10 men ffs! And the frustrating part is, haven’t they learned anything? If I remember correctly, something similar happened against Tottenham in their previous game.

[JollyGood]

Unfortunately things did not work out the way I had anticipated yesterday morning and as a result I missed the deadline. This is my first missed deadline of the season and I hope it is my last. I cannot recall how many deadlines I missed last season but do not want to make the same mistakes again. I hope this is the last missed deadline of the season.

Keeping that aside, congratulations to the managers have scored a lot of points yesterday and will probably add more for the remaining four games being played today and tomorrow.

Why would anyone touch Chelsea defense when we have Palmer/Rogers/Pedro triple up to consider. There isn't another team that scores that many goals with front 3 as secure as these 3. All 3 will have perfect minutes and be involved in almost every goal Chelsea scores.

We have Arsenal defense and plenty of one of picks from other teams that will do well.

[crowolf]

Managed to spent Friday night working out the Wild Card draft and then forgot to set the team on Saturday morning (as-in change the GK, captain and potentially look at the bench). That just might have cost me some points (unless Haaland does really well which I doubt (and hope as a Liverpool fan)). But Cuyper and Rogers would have already got me 24 points.

Well, it's been that kind of a season so far. Decent start and then not having Brighton duo keep killing me. Now that I have them I don't put one of them in.

[Harkorede]

Konsa's probable availability news turned out to be a one that'd cost me 11 points except one of my remaining players should manage to miss out,  I had Konsa initially on the last spot on my bench and De Cuyper in but before the deadline and I brought him in, knowing if he doesn't play then De Cuyper comes in, also Saka as my captain didn't help at all too, he had just the keep to beat in the last play of the game, but he fluffed it.

I'm still missing out Gross, but unfortunately it's going to remain that way until he's coming on as part of a multiple changes, most likely the one that sees Haaland or Saka leave my team, I hope I'll be able to make up for the damages he's done with the coming matches against Liverpool and City.

The table is taking another shape - Harkorede, you're my next t target I'm done with Hhampuz and NotATether

Good luck with, getting there isn't the issue but staying there is.. the table is will keep taking shape week in week out at this point.

My captaincy choice ruined my week, I went with Bruno! not even an assist from him. I have had enough with Manchester United, I am send Bruno out this week, Manchester United is just too inconsistent to trust any of their players. Just 2 pts from Bruno

Cherki rescues me this week with his goal, I almost sold him off, good choice I changed my mind in the last minute especially with the very good fixture they have next against Ipswich.  

between Andoni Iraola, De Zerbi and Carrick, who is getting sacked first?

[Z-tight]

We have our answer right there on how City players will react, 3 goals, 3 points, excellent second half performance, time to get City assets straight into your teams.

77 points for me this week, not bad, though it could have been more if i had a better choice of captain, Bruno Fernandes didn't turn up, 1 point is pathetic. Sticking with Cherki from the start of the season is paying off for me, despite many managers having their doubts about him. Even now that Foden is eligible to play, i'd still keep the French guy.

77 points is huge for this round because it was really hard to pick out the players that arent injured. I got barely 50 points in this round with a free hit that didnt pay off in the end. Cherki is really good in last few rounds he is playing really well and if he plays 90 mins he will always get points either for an assist or a goal.

hahaha, lemme go check your position in the table.

I am using wildcard in the coming weeks, i will either get 2 or all the above...

Assuming I sold Bruno after that GW2 magical performance, it would have been more beneficial to me... Honestly, small names are returning much points than the big names. In the case of Mbeumo, why I will not get him through wild card is if his play time reduces.

[NotATether]

Just captain Haaland. He can give you a lot more points if you leave him on there. Maybe you can also go for Gvardiol too, but you don't need to.

WTF happened at Liverpool? 

[cryptofrka]

I really hate this Fantasy season so far - it's messing with my head.

I urge you to have a look at what my captain Saka missed in the 95th minute - losing me 14 (or even 16) points in the process.
After that, De Cuyper scored again (from 0.25 xG) and Gross assisted again (from 0.19 xG). Majority of the league started both, I started neither one of them.

Just some random facts: Gross and de Cuyper are the leading 2 players in the league - and it's not even close. Both are on 53 points, the closest ones to them are Tarkowski, Haaland and Joao Pedro with 46 and 45 points - which is 15% less.

De Cuyper has 2 goals and 3 assists from a total of 2.5 xGI, Gross has 3+5 from 3.1 xGI. In total, that is 13 goal contributions from a total of 5.6 xGA.
Even better - Brighton conceded 5 goals from 9.4 xGA, therefore they have 4 clean sheets from 6 league games.

Yeah, Brighton has been playing really well - but this shit is absurd. It is Gross and de Cuyper for fuck sakes, not Iniesta and Messi.

JollyGood had 3 Chelsea defensive assets, zero Arsenal DEF assets before this current GW and I was really surprised to see someone trusted Chelsea defense that much when we're literally the worst in the league in that position.

Saka to Rogers is something I can live with - time to pump that money somewhere else

Yeah, Brighton has been playing really well - but this shit is absurd. It is Gross and de Cuyper for fuck sakes, not Iniesta and Messi.

This was my direct reply to your question - I added De Cuyper after that post

- Gross stays- there's literally 2 best players in every position in that team; they can survive those injuries.
