One of my rivals, the same guy that pulls points out of his hole every single year, started Jorginho. Do some people read anything about the players they buy except price and team?

Also on this.

I've a guy in a cash league who has Jorginho, Kanté and Neves in his team.

It happens. It won't last.

eh i dunno

46 with salah cap, aguero firminho and hoedt to go

I had Neves in my team most of pre season and changed last minute. Frustrating but Jiminez is 5.0M striker who should start and considering so many premium midfielders I think is slightly better.

Neves on set pieces Very appealing but I can't have 2 wolves

Jimenez is 5.5m

Fair point

Guess you could say you 'stung' me there :pac:

30 from 4 (no hits). Each player getting a minimum of 5 points.

Content I guess but gonna be some huge scores. A LOT depends on pool and city tomorrow.

Anyone of the 7 players left missing out would be good as AWB would come off the bench

sheroman01

43 with Mendy, Mane, Salah(c) and Aguero to play. Hoping for a miracle in that Mendy doesn't play and AWB steps in with 12pts.

Ricky was walking around the pitch after full time no hopefully it was just cramp or something minor

stephenl15

60 on current bonus. Great day for the parish

Would've been annoying to sell him if he was out injured, after such a great start. Hope he stays fit. Benching him for 1 gw wouldn't be the worst.

Wilberto

29 from 4 (including 3 bonus points each for AWB and Richarlison), along with a very poorly performing bench! :pac: :pac:


The seven left to play are :
Ederson
Mendy
Robertson
Salah (C)
Mané
Aguero
Aubameyang



Solid start to the season. As mentioned by someone else though, it could be a very high scoring gameweek so it could all change.

Not worth a bench imo. If he's fit he plays. If not 1st sub comes in

Shanotheslayer

No PB for Jiminez. Keane gets 1 BP. How? What...

titan18

47 from 6 with Salah (C), Bilva, Robertson, Aubemayang and Aguero to go. Nice start to this season.

Wan Bissaka on the bench so would have been nice to have played him but then my worst score from a player who played atm is 5.

km79

20 from 5

Chap in work was picking his team yesterday evening and by his own admission he wasn't up to speed. So I advised him to take out Aurier, Pogba, Jorginho and Neves.

I might be ringing in sick on Monday.

That is superb undercover work :-)

SlickRic

38 from 5.

Fraser, Zaha, Foster and Ricky the heroes.

Robertson, Mané, Salah (c), Aguero, Mendy and Hoedt to go.

If any defenders want to pull up with an injury before their game, AWB is ready with 12 points.

A lot depends on Liverpool and City obviously. Many in my leagues went without much City coverage for some reason.

KevIRL

No transfer season long team has 53 with 7 including Capt left on a BB there.

Just thinking the same. Maybe Robertson or B.Silva won't feature for me. AWB first sub

dsmythy

29 from 6. Probably behind the times but I still like my team for now.

Captain Salah Aguero Robertson Mendy Cedric left.

Arnie and a points laden Tomkins and the Wan on my bench for any casualties tomorrow.

deadlineday

its been boring without ye all

ShaneU

We're back!

Who had Cedric? :pac:

Father Hernandez

Watching football from an FPL perspective without boards.ie is tough!

F5 in overdrive today.

Anyway, Lacazette not starting is a pain. 12 points incoming from Wan Bissaka if he stays on the bench which is quite unlikely!

titan18

Mane doing better than Salah wasn't good but still on 74 with Bilva, Auba and Aguero to go

*puts hand up!*

Had Mane and Salah (c) too though. Aguero and a benched Laca in this one now!

Me
Literally every budget keeper and defender that was under consideration kept a cleanie
And he gets hooked early
So pissed off

Had Robertson and salah caption though
Unfortunately the guy who took off like a resin yesterday also had them AND mane
He is 89 before bonus so 94 with aguero
I'm on 50 with Mendy and aguero

Fully expect sane to come on for Mendy before the hour mark

I have a lot of fires to put out next week.
Gunnarsson now has a red flag and out for 2 weeks apparently. Price drop possible . I have 0.5 so I could just get neves to protect team value as I will for certain be wildcarding early

Cedric higkoy owned too but should surely be safe for a week. Cairney could drop .
Siggy........Sanchez............mane and Ricky going the other way..........
Have to hope Arnie isn't injured or I'll be tempted

Iago

92 with Aguero & Bernardo to go (& a possible 3 bonus from McCarthy)

Ended up with only 13 players with bench boost (stekelenburg & targett the two punts that didn’t pay off)

24 from wan bissaka & Neves made it worthwhile ( technically mccarthys 8(11) are also bench boost but he would have come in anyway)

Nice to have a decent start for a change.

wrestlemaniac

Clean sheet for Hart makes 22 from Bench Boost and 108 overall with Mendy and Aguero in this game.

Cedric and Ings !!

Wan Bassika on the bench is a bit of a pain in the arse, but apart from that, a pretty good week so far

62 from 8 with Edersen, Mendy and Kun to go
