Barkley and Mount both start as Pulisic drops to the bench

Hold. Don't knee jerk.

Jump, I say

You have Liverpool/City defence, a good gk, Salah, Sterling, Burnley just won 3-0, Jimenez and Wilson are good players.

Easy.

Team still looks good to me! Don’t stress. Maybe consider brining in United attack? That’s my only thought atm.

save FT and give yoursef an extra GW to assess options

Robbo/TAA/Zinchenko is a ridiculously expensive defense, I would never go for such an expensive defense to begin with but there's not much you can do at this stage.

Having Salah and Sterling is going to cost you even more, and you're paying for that in the quality of your attackers. You might want to consider saving the transfer and doing 2 next week, as I don't see any obvious changes without taking a hit.

Are you crazy?!

That’s a good squad - no issues there whatsoever

Who would you even change on wildcard?

10000% do not wildcard

Wc

wait, what's wrong with this squad? did I miss something?

Thanks, all. I think had I started Ryan and Dunk, I would feel a lot better right now. Putting too much pressure on myself after last year.

You are fine until Liverpool or city crash on somedays

Nice.
I finished at 74
Don't care atm. Still in the air 😀

Yay

82. I’m the leader 🙂

Locked team I folded was about 115 🙁

Original team?

You know that if you wildcard you don’t get to play GW1 again?

It’s classic behaviour of chasing last weeks points

Rashford has always looked good

Martial not so much

Yes. Agreed completely. Rashford on Pens too. But he's whole 1m expensive 😮
Leaning towards Martial but think this could backfire big time

Agreed. Also think that having one Pool def and Maguire/Wb is going to be more value than 2 Pool defs

Thanks for that. Rash it is then

he's a 7.5 starting up front - stays in my team for now

If a £7.5 mid playing oop for an attacking team does not pass the eye test then what will?

Benched in GW1 with no injury or international tourney involvement = rotation risk

"Is he a rotation risk?" = rotation risk

He'll play next week and generally should be nailed. Anderson has an injury too - so that will help.

Think Anderson has a minor injury but was really surprised Antonio started ahead of him. Seen a lot of new players benched this weekend, so I'll probably hold for now thanks.

No, which emergency keeper would they get now that's better than Adrian who would only play for 8 weeks?

transfer window closed I think.

The emergency keeper signing is some 34-year old who was released by Middlesbrough. No chance he starts ahead of Adrian

No chance of any of the linked emergency keepers usurping Adrian.

Ederson if anyone

Ederson and Sterling look most likely at the moment.

Ederson, Sterling, Origi, Salah and Pukki are most likely to rise at the moment, with only the first likely tonight
Will have to see if Rashford transfers pick up, reckon he could rise tomorrow night

Tonight Ederson maybe. Nobody else

They keep interchanging positions. Rashford more dangerous and on pens.

Without seeing any heatmaps I would say Rashford as he played more centrally, Martial cutting in from the left.

Martial

Martial.

Martial started and played most of the game up front. Rashford played one left but didn’t track back and found himself swapping with Toto at times

No

Only S & S

Selling.

Hadn't heard of him until people complained about him being on the bench yesterday

Probably getting Robinson

AWB

Shaw
Most attacking

Nothing much in it, slabhead

Nah

With the keeper situation and the opportunity to use funds, you could lose a pool defender if you have 2. I might simply because the extra 1.5 enables a good King upgrade.

Kelly did good for me this week with a CS. They both have pretty easy fixtures, Kelly probably having the easier but I do think Newcastle has a better chance of getting the CS though...

It’s been 1 week - let’s wait and see

I mean I don't agree at all with 5 defenders but sure.

Your defense is only as strong as your weakest defenders really. Having 5 good quality defenders is dangerous, there's only about 3-4 teams who'll be getting a strong number of clean sheets this season. I think a 3-4-3 or a 3-5-2 is the way to go. I almost always play a 3-4-3 as that's what's always got me into the top 1k.

With that being said, there are a lot of good quality, cheap midfielders this season, so a 3-5-2 could be a good idea, or even 4 defenders some gameweeks if there's good fixtures.

Every single season gw1

Essential.

Dont own him but guy is a machine.

DDG 2 AWB 1?

I'm glad I picked him. Limited attacking potential but if he can get 15 or so clean sheets with a lot of bonus, he's a good pick.

He's a bonus magnet

A deduction to come but a great debut, along with Harry!

Indeed

2? Thought 1?

Cheeky!

😆

Got the pices wrong.

Overrated

Sell

Yes pls

We don't know yet

well it has to be McGinn is there anyone else?

I’m on Robinson but McGinn scores yesterday so he is flavour of the day

McGinn looked great and has good fixtures coming.

Stop talking sense.

Top 1m is good.

Not on pens anymore... Rashford more essential maybe

Maybe, depends if they get one in the first 55 mins.

I guess so.

didnt watch it but a draw for Wolves is a good result imo and bad for Leicester. Leicester should be winning games like that if they really want to be fighting for a place in europe

Leicester lacked cutting edge, Jota's finishing woeful. Wolves better, Leicester need to drop Choud, get a more attacking mid in there.

Kante is half the team

Yeah ok, 8-0 to pool with their B team if you ask me

This

Save

3

He must have been seething... not a guy used to losing.

Super cup would be the perfect time to do so 😀

It’s just a super inexperienced group. Need Rudiger and Willian back... gonna take a while for this to gel.

Yeah. I think at this stage it’s much more about who to bring in than get out...

McGinn Im thinking at the minute - also frees 0.5 cash

Keep Trossard and have 2 frees into week 3. He will start home game
