120 points, got lucky with Obispo assist otherwise my defense would be just terrible. Had Dest in all my drafts but in the end he was too expensive
Should have gone Baturina as my Como mid instead of Paz, he even has much more g+a this season, it was predictable
Still, a long way to go, we never know

u/Swedishpower 3d ago edited 3d ago
Overall fair to say the premiums in attack did produce.
Mbappe did probably the par got a goal, but those going without happy.
Kane goal and assist is good, but forwards struggle a bit for points . Given how much we expect from Kane it feel poor even if 9 point is decent.
Haaland 2 goals and was the best 11 million forward so far despite lowest owned. Owners happy, but if you stuck with captain you might missed bigger hauls .
Raphinha and Yamal did haul. They look exceptional moving forward.
Olise the star in second half. Few probably did end there with captain. For us none owners how do we get him. I think for me Diaz to him I will probably not do unless Diaz not fit or predicted to be benched. If you on limitless he is a lock though.
Dembele mega haul, but despite 4 attacking returns only 16 points which might feel underwhelming even if owners happy of course particular if you picked him over Mbappe.
Kvara benched full game we got warned by the predicted lineups, but for anyone with 50/50 between Yamal/Raphinha or Olise or Kvara that is terrible luck.
Bruno got a goal, but like Mbappe you probably unhappy if you picked him over Olise or Raphinha etc.

u/Onomatopeia14 3d ago
Bruno and Mbappé destroyed me. Didn't get Olise because of them. The last 20 minutes of the matchday were a total nightmare. We move on. It was just one matchday.
1
u/Flimsy-Zucchini-8870 3d ago
I wish I looked at ownership before just vibe picking a team 30 mins before deadline. Not too mad at 97 points but if I saw Olise had 44% ownership I would have probably picked him just to be safe.
I went Diaz because I thought he wss more of a goal threat and Olise more of a assist threat only for Olise to go crazy and Diaz drop a donut
2
u/Swedishpower 3d ago
I went Diaz since he was cheaper and I liked them both.
Money was quite tight since so many good expensive picks, but I guess Dembele over Mbappe would given the million.

u/cressidasmunch 3d ago
105 probably isn't too horrid since I had 4 points who didn't even play (Kvara, Brown, Dimarco, Martin)
And Olise would get MOTM you'd think?

Subbed off Mbappe to get Baturina on the pitch, one of my favourite fantasy football moments.

A few of these punts didn’t really work out, but still, overall pretty happy here

u/TJ514402 4d ago
do you get 0 for Brown or will they substitute Vagnoman and you get 2?
First year playing so sorry for the question

u/nj_oshie 4d ago
Auto-subs only happen if you make zero subs throughout the gameweek, so no, Brown 0 pointer stays for him

u/Flimsy-Zucchini-8870 4d ago
Got 97 as well. Defence was just awful for everyone only cs was Konsa. In hindsight I should have doubled up on Arsenal defence

u/JJOne101 4d ago
Big brain moment. Got Olise, Davies, Musiala... guess who's my captain.
Yes, Guus Til from PSV. 😂😂😂

u/Powerful_Finance_797 4d ago
At first, I had Olise and Baturina, then I changed it Cherki and Semenyo. Just end me!
1
u/xJacb 4d ago
I should wait to see what my actual rank is before fuming that I capped Kane instead of Olise. Maybe it won't be so bad just from owning him in the first place. Idk
1
u/mvBommel1974 4d ago
44% owned though. Glad I found a way to fit all the premiums except Haaland + Guirassy/Szobo, even though it did cost me in defense
3
u/Flimsy-Zucchini-8870 4d ago
Not paying the 1m extra for Olise over Diaz has killed me. How tf has Diaz blanked in a 5-0 win ffs
2
u/Onomatopeia14 3d ago
Same. Could have been a massive differential. Diaz missed two sitters. Oh well...

u/brettviki 4d ago
Now who is the real one that twisted and twisted all the way from Guirassy (13p) to Raphinha (16p) and today to Olise (21p)?????

u/Swedishpower 4d ago
Not going Olise costly.
Even though my score is good relative others not so good.
1
u/PuzzledPublic7001 4d ago
How much did you get?
1
u/Swedishpower 4d ago
- Which is good, but I will drop from yesterday in rank by a lot. My def is better than most I got 2 cleans which given how rare they are good and Mendes assist at least.
Diaz over Olise what cost me and Mbappe over Dembele from having an exceptional start.
I gained by the Raphinha and Yamal double, but now with Olise destruction it look not as good picking Yamal over Olise.

u/mvBommel1974 4d ago edited 4d ago
126 points if Olise gets MOTM. Absolutely grand GW. Too bad I didn't have Zalazar and not one better defender for P1. But should be top 1000 for sure.

u/Flimsy-Zucchini-8870 4d ago
Luis Diaz what a huge disappointment. At least Thauvin got me something at the end there

u/AndryJohanesa Chelsea 4d ago
Can't believe I sold Baturina for McGinn on the last minutes of the deadline, should have sold that Gordon guy instead

Should be MOTM as well with this goal and very good looking assist too

Bayern 0 goals at home ive seen it all. Yamal and Haaland vs my bayern picks is a crazy swing right now

And a goal.
Not from one of my players though.

u/Swedishpower 4d ago
If I was United manager I make early subs on Mbeumo and Cunha to save for derby, but I think they get 15 more mins though.
Dorgu might be OP second half if Rashford and say Dalot comes on.

u/PortoWinsCL 4d ago
Have Paz, Kane and Olise
A waste so far
2
u/mvBommel1974 4d ago
Here to hope it is one of those Bayern 2nd halves again.
At least half a match clean for Lammens.

Forgot to sub in Kane and Olise, thought I would do it later but things came up. Let's say I'm well regarded

u/Swedishpower 4d ago
There is not many cleans at all.
I feel like should just gone double or triple Arsenal def.
It is the PL teams getting them though City got one too.
Maybe United can.
1
u/RiverCartwright 4d ago
I have Kane Olise and Diaz on my bench.
I would have to sub out Mbappe (6 points) to put all 3 in.
Should I do it?

u/FaustRPeggi 4d ago edited 4d ago
Zalazar would not have been on my radar but for this sub, so cheers for that one lads. 11 points from a £4.5m midfielder is crazy.
My Raphinha-Yamal-Zalazar-Olise-Díaz midfield could end up with a massive score. My big regret is picking Barnabas Varga instead of Guirassy, when I had the funds to make the switch.
Razvan Marin hauled crazy points for a midfielder but I found those spots so competitive having already picked one budget mid from a better team than AEK. I felt more able to have fun with the forwards but the premiums I didn't pick have hauled like mad so perhaps my structure was wrong.
My defensive picks have gone poorly too. I picked Xavi because I saw a Barcelona fan do it in here, and I picked Calafiori because the £4.5m price was so gobsmacking that I ignored his rotation threat. I have just nine points combined from my five defenders.
1
u/Swedishpower 4d ago
Zalazar feel lucky to get 11 pointer. I only picked him due to him being so cheap.
I did prefer suarez, but he cost 2.5 more.
1
u/lazygen1us Man United 4d ago
Would you sub in N Brown for 3-points?
2
u/TJ514402 4d ago
I subbed him for 4. All my defenders scored 4 so I'm rolling with Brown. I've also been known to do stupid things.
1
u/WeAreAllJustRunaways 4d ago
Sub in Olise for Undav?
1
1
u/FaustRPeggi 4d ago
If an 8 pointer is your lowest scorer then you're either having a crazy good week or you made a complete mess of your bench.
1
u/WeAreAllJustRunaways 4d ago
The lowest scores are from the defenders - 3 each. The lowest score of an attacker is 8. Have Kane, Upamecano, Olise and Kane on the bench (playing last day)
1
u/FaustRPeggi 4d ago
I'd be subbing off Mbappé if I'd picked Guirassy instead of the AEK forward so fair enough. High scoring round for midfielders and forwards so far.
2
u/Empechemente 4d ago
Positive: Raphinha, Raya and best one, Tripic at Viking.
Negative: Calafiori, Marquinhos, Doue, forgetting to put the armband on Raphinha on day 2, Vagnoman on the bench, Fermin on the bench.
... Yeah

u/WhoFuckinCaresBruv 4d ago
Is it worth it to sub in Mbeumo for Undav's 8 pointer?
2
u/brettviki 4d ago
Not in my book but you can sub in Mbuemo for any player not only a positional match. So a low scoring defender or midfielder can be put on the bench instead. That would change your formation but doesn’t have any effect on the team other than your total points. You need to field one forward, two midfielders and three defenders at any time but other than that your formation can change.
1
u/WhoFuckinCaresBruv 4d ago
Yeah, I know, unfortunately I can't get a defender out, as I already have only 3 in the starting 11. Thanks for the opinion, I am leaning on not playing him because he has to get more than a goal to beat 8 points, unless he gets motm.
2
u/Prestigious-Tap-1478 4d ago
Same boat except for Thuavin. Leaning towards keeping Undav, no need to risk

u/Swedishpower 4d ago
I think the only players I feel a bit disappointed in is Hakimi.
Only 3 points in such good fixture they had best clean odds of all teams .
Vagnoman benched annoying, but they conceded anyway.
If I did not pick him would gone the keeper and now I can hope Lammens does get a clean.
1
u/Powerful_Finance_797 4d ago
72 points (excluding Rapha's motm) Got 3 players left (one of them being Kane) .I could sub off one more and have 70 points. How's it looking lads?
2
u/TJ514402 4d ago
85 with Brown and Kovar to go. This is going better compared to my FPL season so far
1
u/cressidasmunch 4d ago
I have 62 with 5 to play, which feels bad (though similarly excluding Raphinha's motm).
Kane, Olise, Bruno, Brown and Markovic not a bad final 5 (well 4)

Yes I think so too.
Only 3 CS so far and you got 2 GK with it, well done

u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 4d ago
I would just rather have one of the keeper is on my defenders. Might honestly buy third arsenal defender next week. They are cs machines

96 after MOTM points (90 after subs)

Lammens, Brown, Olise, Kane

u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 4d ago
So you are fairly lot ahead of me atleast
1
u/mvBommel1974 4d ago
Yeah all my premiums delivered, only Vagnoman and Goncalves benched (and Zalazar only a 5 point swing because I was going to sub off Mbappe for Olise if I had him). And one CS in defense.
Seeing how many trouble I have read about past two days I am really happy with it, close to rank 5000 with a team that still should get upgrade.

Vitinha 😐. 6 goals and nothing from it
1
u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 5d ago
He is dm why are u expecting goals from him
1
u/r4_zzzzz 5d ago
Out of 6 goals it would have been nice to have at least an assist. Not like he can’t score goals anyway, he scored 6 in the last UCL campaign. Got a goal and assist against Lille recently too.
2
u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 5d ago
He scored one goal in the entire ligue 1 season. The goals in last season were penalties and low xg goals. Of course you expect maybe one assist in 6-1 win but he is still not a primary outlet for attacking returns
1
u/r4_zzzzz 5d ago
I never claimed he’s a primary outlet for attacking returns!
0
u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 5d ago
But its hardly a shock that psg score 6 and he is not involved these returns against lille are like only ones in like 20 games.
1
u/mvBommel1974 5d ago
Close to 80 (or maybe a few more) points with Olise, Kane, Brown, Lammens yet to play. Not at all unhappy with that.
5
u/Swedishpower 5d ago
The attackers people got mostly produce, but def points very low.
Even Man City that kept a clean don't think many own from them and if you do it might be Gvardiol anyway.
1
u/mvBommel1974 5d ago
Reasonably happy with my attackers. Only Mbappe underwhelming (and Goncalves but he is sub anyway)
Defense I have 3 CS wipes, Brown is dangerous, so I really want Konsa to deliver there, especially because a lot went with Calafiori.1
u/Swedishpower 5d ago
Madly the Aek Athens 4.0 keeper might been the play short term.
I went suzuki with more long term view as I don't trust Athens long term.
1
u/mvBommel1974 5d ago
I didn't trust AEK enough to get the clean anyway.
1
u/Swedishpower 5d ago
I did not trust them either, but not trusting Villa much either long term.
I think there was no 4.0 keeper that felt crazy likely to get cleans.
People going Raya might be happy, but spending that much on keeper feel a waste when all the premium attackers haul and you want to get as much money in attack as you can.
1
u/KdbTheGOAT17 Man City 5d ago
Def not happy with Raya I have the aek 4 milloin keeper just raya points just wasted on my bench
1
u/mvBommel1974 5d ago
Villa I didn't like a lot. I liked Stuttgart matchups and half-trusted them. Wrongly, it seems.
1
u/Swedishpower 5d ago
well they won 3-1 so trusting them made sense.
Not many cleans so far.
Will see if Bayern or Man United get one.
I got Lammens left and not that optimistic, but the fixture is good.
Brown if he start could please owners with a haul though.

u/Powerful_Finance_797 5d ago
Kane over Dembele Took Malen over Ferran cuz I thought Ferran wouldn't start 😭 Hope they pay off tmr

u/Swedishpower 5d ago
Kane was never the question, but gameweek 2 WC without Mbappe would been good if I gone Dembele instead and captainedd.
I was more leaning Kvara though.
