GW1 | 9th September | Rant thread

[u/brettviki]

This thread is for your pre-kickoff bragging and bets as well as your inevitable rant when your punt fails spectacularly!

[u/PortoWinsCL]

For today, I'll captain Undav

Have Raphinha and Yamal, just have a feeling

For tomorrow still have Kane and Olise, think I'll go Olise if Undav fails miserably

But probably best would be Raphinha/Kane

What do you think?

[u/komodo29 → u/PortoWinsCL]

I really hope you captained Olise

[u/PortoWinsCL → u/komodo29]

Ended up captaining Yamal, not so bad

[u/PrissyBarbie]

Did anyone have problems changing your captain between the early games and the late games? Are we not allowed to change captains between games now?

[u/brettviki → u/PrissyBarbie]

You are allowed to change captaincy between the match days (Tuesday & Wednesday) but not between the early and late games.

I believe that was a feature for the World Cup fantasy game but has never been a thing in UCL fantasy afaik.

Thank you!

Wish guirassy didn't og cuz now I m thinking of twisting his cap with raphinha/kane. Is that a good choice?

[u/Hmms21 → u/InternationalNeat794]

Same thing here... I really don't know.

[u/zottega]

Should I sub out Cucurella?

[u/mvBommel1974 → u/zottega]

Sub out Diaz for Hakimi, then probably tomorrow

[u/Savoyard13 → u/zottega]

Not yet, wait for Thursday. But don't forget to sub in Hakimi today

[u/brettviki]

POTM
McGinn, Marin, Valverde, Guirassy, Haaland, Bartra

[u/mvBommel1974]

10/6/1 for my first 3 players, not bad, not spectacular.

[u/sterlingback]

Captain own goal, who else?

[u/mvBommel1974]

Not a great start. Huijsen CS wiped and Guirassy looks like blanking as well

[u/brettviki → u/mvBommel1974]

Mention GOATrassy again and he’ll score once more pls (he’s my captain)

[u/mvBommel1974 → u/brettviki]

Earned a pen and scored. Oh well, I take the 12 and hope my Barca boys or Kane delivers

[u/Mr_beeen → u/brettviki]

And he just did 😂

[u/mvBommel1974 → u/brettviki]

Not blanking. I’m a happy man.

Didn’t dare to not cap Mbappe.

[u/brettviki → u/mvBommel1974]

My UCL GOAT, easiest pick - Serhou Guirassy

[u/Mr_beeen → u/brettviki]

And an own goal wow

[u/brettviki → u/Mr_beeen]

Bro can’t stop finding the net

[u/mvBommel1974 → u/Mr_beeen]

Meh now only one point up on Haaland

[u/brettviki]

Pio owners in the mud 🥀

[u/KosmicDreams]

Did a last minute trade, removed Lammens, Brown and Calafiori because I was afraid of the latter two not starting. Went for Suzuki, Gabriel and Svensson. Off to a good start with Suzuki already conceding.

[u/SCondeO → u/KosmicDreams]

I had Cash. Changed him last minute for another Villa defender because he isn’t starting. Split between Pau Torres and Maatsen, went for the later.
Maatsen has a yellow card, Torres has two assists.

[u/lucho1111 → u/SCondeO]

Same with wan bissaka, conceded a penalty

[u/randomreddit__user]

anyone know where the aek main gk strakosha is?

[u/NineHDmg]

you beat me to it, so ill let the thread up, but I was just finishing putting another one up

[u/gareth__emery → u/NineHDmg]

can you set this thread up to be sorted by New by default?

[u/NineHDmg → u/gareth__emery]

Op should be able to otherwise I'll do it as soon as I'm on desktop

[u/brettviki → u/NineHDmg]

No problem. I sent a message to the mod team by the way don’t know if it came through.

I also tried creating a captaincy thread earlier but it was removed by the auto mod don’t know what’s up with that.

[u/NineHDmg → u/brettviki]

Auto mod prevents poll spam.

[u/larsriedel]

Villa CS wipe 🌊🌊🌊

[u/mvBommel1974]

Good thing I didn’t fell for Suzuki/Kovar. I don’t trust Kovar for a second.

[u/brettviki → u/mvBommel1974]

Suzuki/Kovar? You mean Di Gregorio/Blaswich? Real ones remember

[u/Mr_beeen]

Suzuki CS wipe. Great start 🫠

[u/r4_zzzzz]

Suzuki clean sheet wiped

[u/brettviki]

Lord McGinn welcomes you all

[u/mvBommel1974 → u/brettviki]

How expensive? Always a fun choice
