Stevo985 Posted August 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2022 Mahrez is the kind of player you have to take a punt on for one or two weeks. He just doesn’t play enough, and costs too much, to be a regular in your team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2022 somehow ended up with a load of green arrows and continued my 100% record in the H2H league already made 1 transfer this week but got a 2nd to use that i'm not sure of...i no longer have as much faith in the chelsea or liverpool defences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I've had a really poor start this year. But I'm persisting with the don't panic advise I gave at the start of the season. Some of the players who have had poor starts will come good. The likes of Trent, Robertson and James have all been consistent with points in recent seasons. Taking them all out at this point is a huge gamble, as you're then scrambling to get them back in. Rodrigo on my bench with 13 points killed me this week, especially as I took him out 5 minutes before deadline for a 1 points Tomiyasu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted August 23, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2022 Ended up on some greens and some reds despite a very mediocre week. Not doing badly at all in some leagues so if some players' form turns then I'll be laughing. Fixtures are good for the week ahead so I'll hold fire. Current risks are no Perisic or Rodrigo but I'll swallow that for now. I feel like holding station is the thing to do 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 23, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2022 Have 2 FTs so thinking I'll mini wildcard as really not started well. Have a few somewhat expensive players horribly out of form (like Mount and VVD etc) but suspect they'd come good long term and have decent fixtures. Need to mull it over.

Farlz Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Didn't wildcard, had 2 FTs so made 3 and took a -4. Robbo -> Saliba Sterling -> KDB Bailey -> Harrison Robertson out before Bournemouth could be stupid but oh well, I want to cover Arsenal defence.

I'm staying clear until Matip is match fit and the midfield is working again. There's a lot of decent defensive options available elsewhere. If it works though would be a good differential.
