Given up with this shit, had Nunes and Kelechi on bench and Perisic, Robbo, Trent in defence.

Perisic comes on with a minute to go, Trent hauled on 59 mins and of course Robertson doesn't start.

I'll try again 23/24

Want to switch Robbo to Gomez but not sure if he'll start at the weekend against Wolves, given we have Napoli mid-week.

Awful week ... 18 points from Haaland, 17 points from the rest.

RJH · « **Reply #5603 on:** September 5, 2022, 02:54:56 pm »

Thought I was doing quite well with 42 points with 5 to go, but they only gave me a further 7 pts for a fairly average week.

Now I have to decide whether to stick with Trent and Salah.

El Denzel Pepito · « **Reply #5604 on:** September 5, 2022, 05:06:09 pm »

Top of 3/5 of my MLs.

Took out Salah and distributed the rest on Mitrovic, Martinelli and Antony, with some funds left over.

Already regretting it though. Not the selling Salah part, but bringing in Antony/Mitrovic instead of Kane/Martinelli...

Took a -8 on it too. Dreadful decision.

Grobbelrevell · « **Reply #5605 on:** September 6, 2022, 03:41:41 am »

95 last week.

32 this week.

It feels like some of the big hitters aren't really justifying their price tags at the moment, with Salah being the prime example. He remains 5th highest scoring midfielder though (4 points off top), which given his form and relative lack of involvement (in real terms) so far, it's perhaps not as bad as it seems. Must admit my instinct, driven by the disappointment of captaining him and watching him blank, was to think about dropping him and redistributing funds, but I think I'll hold off. If you did it becomes hard to get him back in if/when he really does catch fire as well (minus a Wildcard).

We Go Again.

keano7 · « **Reply #5610 on:** September 12, 2022, 11:05:53 pm »

I’m able to field 9 at the moment with no goalkeeper. Might just accept the hit this week and use the two free transfers for the next gameweek. Bound to pick up injuries over the international break.

Fourth disrupted season in a row.

GreatEx · « **Reply #5611 on:** September 13, 2022, 04:51:55 am »

Trent and Mo were already on a knife edge. Only 9 players available (8 since my Fulham reserve striker went on loan) so they might have to step aside for a few weeks. Time to use my jinxing powers.

Grobbelrevell · « **Reply #5612 on:** September 13, 2022, 12:22:29 pm »

How many Wildcards do we get this season, anybody know?

Remember a few saying in preseason that there was three this time due to the World Cup factor, but don't recall seeing it mentioned officially.

afaik its two

one prior to january which is use or lose

one post january

The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season. The first wildcard will be available from the start of the season until Sat 12 Nov 13:30. The second wildcard will be available after Mon 26 Dec 13:30 in readiness for the January transfer window opening and remain available until the end of the season. The Wildcard chip is played when confirming transfers that cost points and can't be cancelled once played.

Emerald Red · « **Reply #5614 on:** September 13, 2022, 02:43:54 pm »

I have 2 free transfers available.
If I use my 'free hit' this week, will I still have my 2 free transfers next week?

Thanks mate. That's exactly what I'd seen as well.

Also seen suggestions that there will be unlimited transfers during the World Cup, essentially the same as happens during preseason.

GreatEx · « **Reply #5618 on:** September 16, 2022, 08:41:49 am »

Wildcard played. For the first time ever, I have no LFC players in my squad (previously had 3!). That will change after our "bye" round and the int'l break, will bring our boys back one-by-one as long as we keep performing. Probably Diaz first.

Yes, I bought Whoreland. Hopefully I am taking one for the team and have condemned him to a long-term injury or opponents working him out.

paulrazor · « **Reply #5619 on:** September 16, 2022, 12:27:17 pm »

I was going to take out Salah for Son but Son has had a quiet start to season

if i pick KDB pep will bench him

already maxed out for arsenal

two free transfers

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #5620 on:** September 16, 2022, 01:08:17 pm »

Sold Trent and Carvalho for Dier and Kulaveski. They probably won’t play now. Kept Mo and backing him to come good when we restart.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #5621 on:** September 16, 2022, 01:37:27 pm »

Only had seven players, so I’ve had to Free Hit. Ended up getting Jesus and the two gorms up top, along with KDB. Probably better than my actual team.

Made the same trade and captained him.

Emerald Red · « **Reply #5625 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:31:54 pm »

Expecting Rodgers to drop Ward, which leaves me with a dodgy 5-2-3 and probably no keeper

Cruiser · « **Reply #5626 on:** September 16, 2022, 06:41:52 pm »

Made a last minute transfer, Salah out and Andreas in.

Is that based on an injury report? Cause I brought both of those in on my wildcard. Thinking I didn't cut deep enough, because Neco and JWP survived the cull and provided a grand total of 2 points. JWP is a tricky one... Plays every minute of every game so he will probably pay off in the long term but on a weekly basis he often feels like a dud. I have enough cash to replace him with Diaz after the break. But I'm doing so badly this season, I'm thinking of going 3 each from the Manc clubs. Could do the Ev too, but they don't need my help.

No, just on a whim as usual! Had 2 free transfers so went short term and Spurs look to have a winnable home game. Carvalho was a cheap punt and did score 2 in 2 after I signed him but don’t think he’ll start again for us for a little while. Not sure what to do with Trent but I have him and Cancelo and at the moment thought his fee could be better spent elsewhere. Might just Wildcard it when there’s a full set of fixtures again.

Just having shocker after shocker this season. Perisic sums it all up. Should have got 5 with an assist. Ends up on 2 after being taken off before 60 then booked for celebrating on the pitch. Seems like everything goes against me!

A dreadful 28 points.

I'm around 70 behind the leader already - becomes virtually impossible that many behind as everyone starts to have the same big players (haaland, Salah, Jesus etc).

Going to give Salah one more gameweek vs Brighton then may have to gamble and take him out.

Eternalsungod · « **Reply #5634 on:** September 18, 2022, 05:57:08 pm »

Didn't have WC, but was lucky. Needed only -4 to field eleven (including Ward though). Ended up with 58-4. Quite happy with that.

GreatEx · « **Reply #5639 on:** September 20, 2022, 01:17:15 pm »

Wildcard used, still ended up with a below average score. By far my worst season ever, might just throw caution to the wind and do some wild transfers now.
