[The G in Gerrard]

I already have a budget striker who never features and didn’t really want to have to go 451.

I got rid of Guimares as well

I've kept Nunez on bench and Jesus upfront on his own this weekend. 4-5-1 this weekend for me or 4-4-2 with work one.

[amir87]

All set up for Guimares to have a stormer midweek now.

[GreatEx]

I'm sticking with Guimaraes. Any reason you lot are getting rid, is he playing as a DM or something?

I've made a pretty poor start to the season but I feel like i should persist a bit while everyone is fit and playing. I only just made my first transfer of the season, trading Luke Plange for another 4.5m striker, the bloke from Fulham who started and got an assist last week, to occupy the 15th squad place. I will probably ditch Trent and even Ali if we can't even keep Bournemouth at bay and Trent isn't assisting. My "full complement of LFC" policy is the primary reason for my mediocre score. Others like Jesus, KdB, JWP, Trossard, James are doing OK.

He’s playing pretty well. I did it partly as a double swoop to get Toney in because Wilson is out…although he might. And some strange hunch Carvalho will score for us today. Leaves me with about 1m in the bank for any tweaks next week too.

[Emerald Red]

TSB ... 82.3% now have Jesus, the highest ever.

[UntouchableLuis]

That's a lot of converted people - we no longer live in a secular age.

[Emerald Red]

Guimaraes has looked good but not seen him anywhere near the goal. His price dropped $0.2m this week.
Everyone bringing in Rodrigo, his price jumped to $6.4m. Too much for me so I've gone with Harrison at $6.0m.

[RJH]

As a Liverpool fan, Trent has my full support
As an FPL manager, if he doesnt produce this week I'm getting rid.

[Crosby Nick]

Thought I’d captained Jesus, turns out it was Mo.

No Haaland will screw me this season. At least the Carvalho signing paid off!

[Hazell]

Had Salah as captain too. Gutted

Same.

My son has Haaland and is battering me.

Glad to see Trent reactively positively to my ultimatum.

Pity I went for Salah over Haaland as captain though.

[Cruiser]

Same.

Probably time to bin him and bring in Bernardo 

[Crosby Nick]

On the plus side, I have Bobby in my Draft team. Had him as a sub but put him in at the last minute.

[Cruiser]

Elliott could be a good bet to score against Newcastle.

[UntouchableLuis]

Took Trent out and made Salah captain over Haaland.

I've made the same terrible decisions for the last 8 seasons.

[gerrardisgod]

And I come crashing down to earth with a bang, third to eightieth.

Fuck you, Mo! Still love you.

[paulrazor]

9-0. No mo assist. No goal

I'd have given 10 million to one on that

[UntouchableLuis]

Sometimes games like that show how unlucky you can be when playing fantasy football. There are things you can do to improve but making Salah captain in a 9-0 win and him not doing anything would never happen again.

Feel like everyone is going to go Haaland captain now for most gameweeks.

[amir87]

Salah, Jesus or Haaland captain?

Yeah, so I fucked that decision up.

[GreatEx]

Thought I’d captained Jesus, turns out it was Mo.

Ha! Sucked in, glad I had the foresight to captain Je... oh.

I too am resisting Norse Predator on principle, and am doomed.

Yeah, wondering whether to bite the bullet and get him in, although the damage is done with everyone who has him from the start. Or get Nunez back and double down on him coming good (after his suspension ends obviously!).

Salah decision is just pure bad luck, but why would you take Trent out before Bournemouth at home??  Haha not to rub it in just what was the thinking and who did you even replace him with

I didn't want to but I had Solanke and Fornals in my side and had to replace both as I can't see either producing anything much this season now. I had 2 free transfers but if I just took those 2 out it left me with 10.4 only in the bank so I couldn't get anyone worth it to bring in. Taking Trent out meant I was able to bring in Zinchenko, Harrison and Toney. I gambled and thought long term those 2 will get me more points than Trent, Fornals and Solanke but I couldn't have got it more wrong this particular gameweek - Zinchenko was injured, Harrison did nothing and Toney did nothing against Everton at home which I was surprised at.

I knew Trent would get a clean sheet but never saw him getting a goal and a few assists- I thought he would come really good again once Nunez was back from his crosses.

It was a stupid error really but long term I trust the players I brought in will produce more than Solanke and Fornals who were just deadweight.

[RedSamba]

rightfully so, he will score loads .. the ugly c*nt. Too bad i wasted my wildcard investing in defence and midfield, not a penny left to get him in the team

[Eternalsungod]

I was envying anyone with Mo going into this GW. Turns out captaining Diaz instead wasn't the worst choice. Salah-owners extremely unlucky.

like fine wine

[GreatEx]

In fairness to Untie, one of the reasons I never hit the heights in FF is because I tend to stick with my original squad too long when other options have clearly established themselves as better, and it's usually only an injury crisis that will shake me out of my torpor. That effect is magnified when the better options have already been pounced on by the majority of rivals - I should have shuffled the deck for Haaland after his opening day brace, but I dithered and now convinced myself his ship has sailed. I am, however, thinking of shifting Jesus - because what's the point - and trying to bring in Kane, although not sure where I'll get the extra dosh from. Sir Harold is quietly making an unusually bright start to the season while everyone is blinded by Norse Predator.

[paulrazor]

Two transfers this week

Guimares and Mount out

Rodrigo and Odegaard in

queue Mount scoring 4

Next target is to get the funds to sign Kane instead of Toney

Zaha will have to be downgraded

[Cruiser]

Really surprised with BHA - 3 clean sheets!

Their next 4 fixtures look really good as well.

Sanchez and Groß on my watchlist.

[UntouchableLuis]

like fine wine

Literally couldn't have gone any worse!

It's mad how many times I've taken players out and they have a blinder or I put a player in and they suddenly turn to shit.

[amir87]

Got a feeling I'll hit 100 points this weekend with my team. Will report back Sunday night.

Ended up on 69. This time I wasn't so pleased about that.

[Emerald Red]

week 1 ... I have Odegaard 3 pts ... (Martinelli 8 pts)
week 2 ... I have Odegaard 2 pts ... (Martinelli 8 pts)
week 3 ... I have Martinelli 6 pts ... (Odegaard 16 pts}
week 4 ... I have Martinelli 2 pts ... (Odegaard 10 pts)
week 5 ...

what do I do now?

Its sods law isn't it. Ive got them both atm. Don't know how long I will keep them though, but both playing well.

[Keita Success]

Thinking about trading Martinelli out for Trossard/Gros before the cut-off point today.

Arsenal about to go in for a run off tough fixtures. Might wait till Arsenal play Villa and Brighton are away at Fulham, first...

[-Willo-]

Brought in Matheus Nunes, next window I am going to try bring in Darwin uptop.

I have went too defensive/midfield heavy with a bunch of very good players, but that means I am missing the obvious lads like Haaland and its already affecting me.

Made a mistake with Kelechi upfront too, got to try get rid of all Leicester players as I think they are in for a torrid few weeks.

[Cruiser]

Friendly remainder - Salah has scored against Newcastle in every game he's played against them at Anfield 

[Port_vale_lad]

can see haaland on the bench midweek and millions of people crying.

[UntouchableLuis]

can see haaland on the bench midweek and millions of people crying.

If I make him captain this is precisely what will happen. If I don't he will start and score 5. So tempted to make him captain.

[gerrardisgod]

Welbeck left out.

Excellent start.
