There’s talk that Haaland may be given compassionate leave after the death of a close family friend.
We can only hope Pep clears this up in his press conference this morning.
Guardiola on Haaland: "We will see tomorrow if he is able - mentally, physically - to play."
I’ve been making FT’s at a cost of -4 so they impact price changes.
Now I’m trying to play my wildcard and I can’t seem to play it.
WTF ? How does one play it ?
Edit - absolutely could not activate the chip whilst using iPhone so I logged in on MacBook and I could play it easily.
Ha. I lost 0.2m on my WC.
I do it every year. Brainless. Sold Rogers and Robinson and bought them back.
It’s a real shame the game can’t factor in who you originally owned and what price, when doing multiple experimental transfers on WC, for thickoes like me.
I might just toss a coin this year for my WC team.
This is the team I'm leaning towards:
Vs my first draft WC pick, which has a weaker bench.
This is those fine margins people talk about…
15 minutes left
Top team?
I prefer your second team.
Another vote for Team 2 here.
So, this is what I ended WCing to, triple Fulham somehow, 😆:
Ha. I WC’s away from triple Fulham.
Henderson Fabianski
TAA Porro Lewis Robinson Greaves
Salah, Eze, Mbeumo, Jota, Rogers
Haaland, Pedro, Wissa
plan in 2 weeks is to move Henderson to Flekken then happy for a few weeks barring injuries or players being dropped
Team I settled on.
Looking at pulling the trigger on this for WC, not sure on Keane, Dibling or Vardy
Who needs defenders?
Is it time to hit the Wildy? 😉
Would prob get rid of Porro, Eze, Salah, Jota, Isak, all my bench and maybe Pedro.
TAA, Diaz, Palmer, Watkins on the shopping list
Pulled it tonight, something like this Diaz, Semenyo, Watkins, Barnes, DCL, Jackson all decisions to be made
Checking in for the week, main dilemma seems to be Salah or Luiz + premium defense
Has to be Diaz at the moment, too much a of a gap money wise
On WC this week and currently looking at the below.
Gone for a threemium defence with Raya, Gabriel and Robertson/VVD. I'd have preferred TAA but needs must.
Then, I've 3 cheap DF's who I'll rotate depending on their fixtures. Not placing a huge amount of emphasis on DF's given the lack of CS's this season outside Arsenal/Liverpool.
Saka is a lock for me. Palmer I just really like owning and feel he'll steadily return all season, can always explode and a good captain choice in certain weeks. Diaz is for Liverpool cover attacking wise although a minutes concern. Finally jumping on the Rogers train and I've wanted Mbeumo since GW2 for their nice run.
Haaland is a no brainer, DCL could be anyone else at that price point but he's the best of the lot for now. Stewart is bench fodder.
Dont think Palmer is worth that value yet but can see the reasons not for me, also I'd change robbo for konate, and use the 1m to upgrade rest of defence slightly, 3 4m Def with a 4.5m forward leaves awful bench
Thinking similar with a 4.5 Gk (Sanchez) allowing me to get TAA
My effort at a wildcard any thoughts appreciated!
Ye everything looks solid enough, debating the Watkins move myself but hard tell with Europe, might just go Jackson or solanke for now and just boost rest squad
Similar enough Wildcard myself. Gone Jackson and Smith Rowe but considering Semenyo.
Watkins is tempting just left a bit short on the bench if anyone is rested or injured.
Nearly set on a templatey Wildcard 😬
One big choice..
Raya + Jackson
or
Sels + Watkins 🤔
Initial plan was sell Salah spread the funds, with likes of Watkins, mbuemo, Trent but I just like the squad team too much with him in it and much easier to change in 2/3 weeks if doesn't work then trying to get him back in. I know Lewis a huge risk, but will prob move him to Dalot or someone in 2 weeks if doesn't work out
Think I am going to land on something like this. Like the double Arsenal attack to go after the next two with potentially a move down to Solanke after.
Not sure if I'll go Lewis or Gvardiol, see what tomorrow brings...
24 hrs to deadline this is where I am with mine.
Timber as Arsenal defence is a bit of a punt, always liked him and looks attacking, cheaper too.
have 0.1 in the bank so thinking of either…
Aina to Masraoui
DCL to Wood
Flekken/Havertz or Raya/DCL?
Flekken / Havertz.
Raya a doubt for this weekend unless you have a decent 2nd GK.
I'm on WC myself after my worst ever FPL start, and currently at my worst ever rank! Had always planned on doing the switch in this GW, and finally bringing Haaland in.
The biggest conundrum I'm having at the moment is this;
Gabriel / 4.5 mid / Duran / Jackson
Saliba / Semenyo / Watkins / 4.5 fwd
