Bit of a no brainer I guess unless Kane v Leic who have the worst defence in the league.

Kane thinks he’s a midfielder so not for me, erling all the way

Mr Crispy

Probably Haaland, but Kane isn't out of the running for me.

Haaland. Wolves no gimme but hasn't blanked yet.

Yeah, he's a beast. The big fear is that everyone else will have him captained so going against the grain could cost one, big time. Although that's actually one of the things I'm disliking about this season - it's all so samey so far.

Weird set up the prices are all wrong this year and the constant rises and falls are grating

Yeah, totally agree. Not helped by some FPL royalty underperforming either!

Are they though? Or is it just players moved after they were priced etc. If you think of Jesus - has he done anything to justify being over 8m? Would you have him if he was still at City - probably not - in fact how many City players do most people have? Defenders are probably priced right. Haaland is an unknown - can't just put him in at 13m+.

There are very few players who you would say are doing what they are priced to do in the game - last few seasons Son was under priced - is he over priced now? or is it just because he's doing nothing?

How many players are underpriced?

i've been playing the game since Thierry Henry was in it and this is the worst set up/players value, prices rises/falls i've ever seen, just my opinion of course it's subjective as we know.

Haaland

But I have early game curse fear

castletownman

Am I wrong to stick with City, but go with KDB instead? Although he might be more likely to be rotated.

I was coming here to say this.

Haaland is a monster, we all know that.

BUT he was relatively quiet against Dortmund (still bagged a goal of course) but isn't the early game curse somewhat real?

GW1 - FUL 2-2 LIV (Salah, Nunez & Mitro returned)

GW2 - VIL 2-1 EVE (Ings, Buendia, Watkins returned)

GW3 - TOT 1-0 WOL - Kane (Perisic)

GW4 - SOU 0-1 MUN - Bruno (Dalot)

GW5 - no early KO

GW6 - EVE 0-0 LIV

Is GW1 and GW2 the outliers due to the start of the season?

Or simply Wolves being tricky to play against and Spurs starting slowish in GW3, United having a poor start to the season in GW4 and the same with Liverpool on GW6?

Hard to justify going against Haaland with him in the form of his life and going to be massively owned & captained but worth pondering.

Prob not worth gambling so early in the season.
