Same. Main rival brought him in to spite me too. He’s defo not gonna score 20 in the PL. But he’s going through a good spell. If Everton keep playing well I’ll have to consider him.

normanoffside · 26-09-2020 3:43pm

Hamez assisted the assist again

Clean sheets are gonna be alot more difficult with these bizarre new rules.

Exactly why I packed my midfield with must haves and cheap defenders.

Yeah, other than De Bruyne I do not believe this to exist

That's what made me decide against him in my wildcard team. I'm still scarred from that barren spell he went through when I persisted with him for weeks to no avail. Now he's morphed into Calvert-Lewandowski.

machiavellianme · 26-09-2020 3:48pm

Palace are a shambles on the one week I play Mitchell.

ThunbergsAreGo · 26-09-2020 3:49pm

Bruno is infuriating.

Dreadful today, could have been sent off (Pogba booked on reversed pen for similar) yet gets a goal and an assist.

Rashford looked shaaaaarp.

Just did the wildcard and already regretting not just getting the pen takers (Klich etc)

They are playing a very good Everton side though

A shambles is a bit much, it'd be 1 1 but for the mad pen

Iused2likebusts · 26-09-2020 3:52pm

Was hoping Jay rod would be on pens. One of the reasons I went with him over DCL

wonski · 26-09-2020 3:54pm

2 games so far and 3 penalties already.

Many records are gonna be beaten this year.

Everton with the quickest PL win one of them. :pac:

Mark Noble at 4.9 looking like quite the snip around now. Soucek who?

It's too early in the season to talk about must haves and what a must have constitutes. For instance with the amount of penalties this season - would Klich for Leeds be a must have?

Is Salah a must have - yes he got a hattrick first game of season - but two of them were penalties - and if Milner was on the pitch he probably would have taken them.

KdB looked sharp and with city's injuries, coupled with him on penalties - he probably is a must have.

Bruno - united were shocking today - and he was probably lucky not to get a second yellow card.

Son - very streaky player - but has others have pointed out - spurs won't be playing against a high line every week

You then have a rake of midprice players who are performing well and could provide value at their price point- Zaha/Townsend/Trossard/Barnes/Podence/Foden and even Greenwood/Rashford were sharp when united went forward

You then have some players that haven't played yet - looking at Pulisic, and maybe Bale when he plays - they then might be considered "must halves".

Finally if Liverpool get a CS on Monday night - would you classify their defenders as must halves in a season where no one else can keep a CS?

GoldFour4 · 26-09-2020 4:13pm

A few second half goals from Everton would be nice albeit it’s only James I have in my team.

Klich/KDB/Son/sterling/Rodriguez

Is what I went for in the end.

wonski · 26-09-2020 4:20pm

Richarlison booked.

Pros and cons for Werner owners. He won't be number 9, but Jorginho isn't playing so he might take pens. Abraham was a good peno taker for Villa though. Scored some big ones in the playoffs the year we went up.

normanoffside · 26-09-2020 4:45pm

Jamrod off

Ace2007 · 26-09-2020 4:45pm

James off, Iwobi on

ScummyMan · 26-09-2020 4:53pm

0(-4) from 0 so far

HEWT

Jim Gazebo · 26-09-2020 4:57pm

Just DCL so far for me. Werner in the next.

2nd Row Donkey · 26-09-2020 4:57pm

-2 from 1. (gahaa-Dunk)

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:00pm

Not crazy about my most expensive forward being out wide but he does tend to perform better when he has a partner who will do the ugly work, like Poulsen did at Leipzig. We'll see how it goes. My fear is he finds himself stuck on the periphery of the box all game.

COH · 26-09-2020 5:07pm

Got rid of Werner on my WC... mega fear

He's very good driving at players, if he gets any bit of space he will kill them

dr.kenneth noisewater · 26-09-2020 5:22pm

16 from 4 so far, nobody in this one and just Taylor left today. Relieved to see Ricky get the bps after going with him over DCL

Was he ever considered a cf anyway?

From what I could see and read and hear from those who watched Bundesliga he was always a wing player, LF rather than centre.

Very quick and in the centre of anything that could lead to a goal anyway. Definitely a final chance for him to provide points, if not mass exodus and price drop is to be expected.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:34pm

Robinson goal. Chelsea clean sheet gone already!

Pereira with the assist.

Clean sheets? I don't even remember how to spell clean anymore

wonski · 26-09-2020 5:38pm

Alonso booked.

He looks slow. And dangerous.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:39pm

Alonso struggling and picks up a booking. Chilwell will have that spot soon enough.

extra gravy · 26-09-2020 5:40pm

Like the look of Pereira for the next few weeks.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:42pm

Abraham misses after a great cross from James.

Wish that was Werner on the end of that cross

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:45pm

Werner off the crossbar! Thought that was the moment.

COH · 26-09-2020 5:45pm

Werner crossbar from a James cross

Shanotheslayer · 26-09-2020 5:45pm

Really feel like once Werner gets 1 it'll be a bloodbath

Well close enough. The goals will come.

ThunbergsAreGo · 26-09-2020 5:48pm

Would have liked those Werner /James points

gammygils · 26-09-2020 5:49pm

FS Pereira assist! Points on my bench....... Again ! :mad:

Shedite27 · 26-09-2020 5:52pm

Werner looks to be playing LW.

ShagNastii · 26-09-2020 5:52pm

Not watching the game. Havertz up to much?

Had a decent effort

Shanotheslayer · 26-09-2020 5:53pm

Just realized I have Johnstone in this too. Lets go Saves!

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-09-2020 5:54pm

I like James' attacking threat. Just wish someone would get on the end of a cross. Ideally, Werner.
