Can anyone explain this to me

I had Walker in my team before the start of the gameweek and Wan-Bissaka on the bench,Walker didnt play and i got 0 points for him on Sunday,i transfered him out for the next game week and Alonso in and Wan-Bissaka in the team for this week,now for gameweek 2 i received -2 for Bissaka being sent off when he wasn't even in my team at the start of the gameweek

Its only 2 points but it would of brought me over 90 for that week

Wan B subbed in as Walker didn't play.

Could someone tell me why price rises are so important?

For examle I have Mane and Mendy. I will probably never sell them. So, it doesn't really make much odds to me does it?

You more than likely will sell them due to injury, suspension, loss of form ,blank gws, dgws .The more money you have to spend the better.. Very rare a player ends up in your team for a season.

The problem with being 100 pts down is that not only do you have to take points hits to get ur team right but ur also chasing team value, they are picking up the price rises while you’re buying them at higher.
It’s a bad time of year to have a bad run

100 down over 36 weeks is less than 4 points a week. It's early days yet.

Depends on the player you are trailing
I was 100 points behind to a competitive player this time last year
Didn't get within 50 points of him till season end
And the gap was in or around 100 for majority of it

That kind of a gap so early leads to points hit and catpaincy risks

So yes it is early days but in my main league if I was 100 points ahead now id be confident of winning it even if there are 36 weeks to go

Good start is half the battle and all that

That’s me in pretty much all my leagues and also out of the last man standing league in week 2! I’m actually pretty pissed off over it as I thought my team was very strong starting off! It’s going to be hard to get motivated now

I think after last night Firmino gets one last week in my team.

Could do Firmino to Ings, Bilva to Mane then.

He was pretty anonymous, doesn't look sharp at all at the moment.

My front 3 of Aguero Firmino PEA are really limiting my options in Midfield. Should I look at downgrading one?

Current mids are Salah Richarlison Bilva Kante (Gunnarsson).

quite the opposite for me and I obsess about FPL.

from the heady heights of Top 100 last year to just outside top 750,000 now :pac:

That happened me, finished 105th and then the following season had my worst ever, 1.4m, the lads just weren't motivated

My season long no transfer team at the heady heights of 18K while my regular team languishes at 133K in OR

A woman in work got her son to pick her team in week 1 last season, no transfers all season long, she was top of our mini league until Christmas, Aguero was the captain all season long, she ended up third.

Same start for me this year. Monster scores GW1 and GW2. GW3-8 last year where a shambles so hopefully improves this year.

After averaging 90 each week I find myself in the heady heights of 6th & 7th respectively in my main two leagues.

What a time to be alive

I think so, in my main cash league the majority of the guys towards to the top would be ones I consider to be quite serious about fantasy. While the casuals are not doing as well as previous years.

I get the thinking about not captaining him against the big teams but Chelsea could have shipped 5 against Arsenal, he scored both goals in a 2-2 draw with Spurs last year and the City game will be attack versus attack. Just food for thought

He scored 2 goals at Anfield not Wembley, he got 1 there. Liverpool haven't a great record away to Spurs recently.

I agree with you about Chelsea though, Liverpool are set up perfectly to destroy them on the counter.

My thinking is would I captain him against spurs Chelsea or city? No. Southampton are wedged in the middle but I will have 2 other pool players as cover for that and at 13m if I'm only gonna captain him 1 week out of 4 it's too expensive a downgrade to mane will give me better balance around the pitch

I'm considering going without salah for that run and upgrade around the rest of my team if I can hold onto my wildcard until gw9 and then get him back he's so highly owned that it's very doubtful he will rise

This is also on my mind. I think someone that expensive you have to captain almost every week, and with those fixtures I won't. A downgrade to Mane gives serious cash to spread around.

Thats not a bad plan either. He would want to be continuing at a goal a game to warrant holding onto for those four week, no one is fixture proof .........
