BOF Posted August 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2021 You could easily win last season's competition by not owning Salah. Point being, no player is essential. Having 4 or 5 premiums is madness and I think doomed to end catastrophically, but by all means go for it. If nothing else it'll be interesting to watch it play out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your keepers are dead for a start. There could quite possibly be weeks where you'd get 5 or less players playing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 For clarity, this was just a hypothetical example to show it was possible. No chance in hell am I taking a -52 in GW2 to take players who might not even play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else it'll be interesting to watch it play out. we're already seeing a lot of catch up required from folks who had only one of bruno and salah, and a lot of work to do from people who had neither i am going to try it (all this is dependent on kane going to city of course) like you, i'm curious to see how it pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 wildcard used already. Another bad week or two and my name of "giving up by october" may end up being overly optimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yeah that's where I was last season too. Hoping to save it for GW 6 or 7 this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 20, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2021 If I can I try to save mine until Christmas so that I can set myself up well for the busy period and make big jumps later in the season. But if it needs using go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 65 points this week, which was less than last week but still enough to move me up 2.8m places. Glad I didn’t panic and try to fit Bruno in. Got two transfers to use this week, can see me changing my front line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
