Changed mine four times today, thought I’d settled on Mane, thinking he’d get some minutes tonight. Now I’ve just tore it up again, I just know him or Deloufeu will bag a few this weekend now.

I know i always thought it silly that the game doesn't tell you how big the leagues are. you can always scroll page by page there are 50? players on a page. There's usually a good few hundred players. My goal every year is to make the first page on RAWK but ive ever only done it twice in a dozen or something like that.

edit: Did a quick count 15 pages, so about 750 teams so far.

What is your thinking here?

He looks a great option at £7.5m and Villa at home but their first three away games are City, Arsenal and Leicester.

Do you think he is a guaranteed starter?

For this game only due to injuries and new bodies within the squad, he'll be gone after this weekend.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #1044 on:** August 9, 2019, 07:34:25 pm »

So i tore up the rulebook and went with 5 starting defenders. Read several articles that insisted this is a doomed strategy, but i said fuck that weve got Trent and Robbo breaking records, they need to learn what time it is. The basic idea is our fullbacks and Citys fullbacks plus Mo and Sterling. Laporte is a placeholder for Mendy or possibly Cancelo since Zinchenko's stats are weak imo.

so the corollary is ive only got one mid price striker and two bench strikers as a result. Never tried this before its either bold or stupid

Pope

Trent Robbo Laporte Walker P-Walker

c- Mo Sterling Fraser Tielmans

Wilson

Button Hayden Wickham and some 4.5 arsenal striker since i cant take that manc guy on policy

serious value for money points wise. im going to do sooo well in last years game

Lot use the triple captain in the first game just to get the novelty of being highly ranked for a day.

Proper stupid. Some in my leagues have done it and they aren't even more than 10 points ahead after last night.

People never learn. There’s not many City players you can safely pick. Ederson, Laporte and Sterling are the safest bets.

Exactly the same for me... I wondered if many were going to pick Origi for the first week considering the fixture and a guaranteed start.

Maupay! Love a bargain signing coming off early. Into the 60s with Kane hopefully not adding much to it!

Wilson

Smashed it! 81 points with Tielmans to go.

Cool.

keano7 · « **Reply #1058 on:** August 10, 2019, 09:54:21 pm »

54 with only Maddison to go. Below par start.

I have gone:

Patricio
VVD / Vertonghen / Robertson
Salah / Bernardo / Tielemans / Trossard
Vardy / Kane / King

Bench: Button / Dendoncker / Kelly / Lundstram

Bernardo Silva = 0 minutes
Trossard = 0 minutes
Vertonghen = 0 minutes

54 with Kelly and Lundstrum from the bench. 4 still to play tomorrow - Dendoncker, Tielmans, Patricio and Vardy.

Shite start! Fully expecting Dendoncker and Tielmans to be benched!

61 with vardy lascelles Perez and PEA to go

mc_red22 · « **Reply #1062 on:** August 11, 2019, 01:19:34 pm »

I'm currently on 67 points with Dendoncker (Keita didn't play), Jimenez, Vardy & Perez to play so safe to say I'm watching that game over Newcastle vs Arsenal.

Sarge · « **Reply #1063 on:** August 11, 2019, 01:42:47 pm »

Uninspiring but average start of 47 with 3 to play, was a lot worse yesteday afternoon but thanks to Kane I recovered.

Just.

lionel_messias · « **Reply #1064 on:** August 11, 2019, 02:06:59 pm »

*Annoying post alert*

I'm on 86 points, with Jimenez and Perez in action today/now.

Picking Origi enabled me to spend more elsewhere, could only have done better by
captaining Sterling instead of Mo but that will reverse some weeks.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #1065 on:** August 12, 2019, 12:33:31 am »

I thought i'd done very well, ended up on 84 and im in a 12 way tie for 62nd on RAWK

on the second page i might add.

Fowlerisgod09 leads the way with an impressive 116 points, having expended the 3x C chip. Some familiar names such as the Oompa Loompas, the One-Touchables and Atletico Pathetico and others were also seen already lurking around the top 10, all at 90+ points.

Awesome work RAWK

The head to head had a 92-85, an 88-86, an 84-84, an 86-79 and several other notable scores. Wily veteran Thush K led the way with the 92 with Red Roos also posting a strong 90 points.

Also outstanding.

XabiArt · « **Reply #1066 on:** August 12, 2019, 10:55:36 am »

46 points in my draft league, got 32 on the bench though which bloody hurts.

Out of available players to pick up I'm trying not to be too clever and go with form. For this week what do people think to GroB for Brighton at home to West Ham (Southampton home the week after also), or Iwobi on debut against Watford. Either would be a trade for Ryan Fraser (villa a).

Alternatively I play neither and keep King (villa a) Vardy (che a) and Aguero (Spurs h) all on.

First thought was Iwobi in (although I have Richarlison) and drop Vardy, but Chelsea look like they can concede goals.

Thoughts? Bear in mind its a draft so not everyone is available.

LiamG · « **Reply #1067 on:** August 12, 2019, 07:48:45 pm »

Knew i should of stuck with my same GK tactic as last year using 2 budget GK's, Allison who i went for in the end, injured

Transferred him straight out for Ederson though!

Will probably look at getting Pope and Ryan in when using my wildcard though to free up funds elsewhere

GreatEx · « **Reply #1068 on:** August 12, 2019, 11:43:53 pm »

Ryan was an unexpected bonus, coming up with 9 points in an away fixture. He and captain Sterling were my only real contributors but it was enough to get me up to 70, a par score for a week when seemingly all the big guns racked up serious stats.

I have Heaton as backup GK but that was before he got sold to Villa; was just waiting to see who would start for Burnley and Southampton before ditching him.

Bench: Button / Dendoncker / Kelly / Lundstram

Tempted to go again with the same XI. Bernardo will surely play v Spurs, the Brighton manager said Trossard was unlucky to miss out and is waiting for a home game to start him, Dendoncker seems to be first choice ahead of Saiss so will get minutes but unsure on Kelly. With Cahill fitter, might he start ahead of him?

Either way, I will go again to get the 2nd free transfer - that will give me a bit more room for manouevre with transfers.

tommy LFC · « **Reply #1071 on:** August 14, 2019, 11:57:32 am »

Had some price rises and drops already apparently.

Risers - Ederson, De Gea, Martial, Sterling, Rashford

Fallers - Ozil, Matip, Sane, Alisson

Not yet... it’s 1 game... I’m just gong to wait until end of GW2 and make 2 changes if need be.

Might be worth waiting until the international break is over? Gives you time and can assess fitness levels, injuries etc at that time.

51cam · « **Reply #1073 on:** August 15, 2019, 02:49:28 am »

97 points for GW1.

A good start is half the battle!

Going to be very disciplined this year with substitutions. Plan ahead. Don't spend needless points.

Ciara (with a capital "C") · « **Reply #1074 on:** August 16, 2019, 04:41:41 pm »

Last year you could only ever bank 2 free transfers. Is that 3 now?

Nope, that rule is unchanged.

102 points in my first week. I am definitely winning this now.

GreatEx · « **Reply #1078 on:** August 17, 2019, 10:13:24 pm »

Pretty sure I caused that Adrian blunder by having 2 Reds defenders in my fantasy team. Sorry, all. On the upside, I don't have any of our mids or forwards so we should score 4-5 goals per game.
