tonyh29 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Had Diaby ( picked Eze instead) and Chilwell ( poxy Gabriel coming in for about 4 mins ) leaving 14 points on the bench …. it’s going to be one of those seasons again I see but still fairly happy with my team so prob won’t do any transfers just yet Edited August 13, 2023 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2023 Yeah I have CHilwell first sub. Started Cash instead Could have been a lot worse though, Chilwell looked terrifying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 14, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2023 I had Chilwell on the bench but as I picked Palace's Andersen instead of him I can't complain much apart from Arteta bringing on Gabriel with minutes to go. Picked Chelsea's Jackson ahead of Diaby but having watched bits of the game yesterday I'm quite happy to have him as a player 66 points currently with Onana, Bruno and Rashford to play. Could possibly top my money league after GW1, whatever happens I'll only be a few points off, currently less than 10 points behind and all the layers ahead of me have fewer players to play One person in our league did the following.... Didn't pick haaland in his squad Played his Bench Boost in GW1 Has now used his first WC ahead of GW2 Yes he currently sits at the bottom of the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison was the most exciting player I saw over the weekend that I don't own. It'll be very hard to resist swapping Richarlison for him this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you sell him he'll get a brace in the next game. I might just keep him to stop being annoyed at him all the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, no intention to use my transfer unless there's some major injury news or marquee signing for someone like Spurs. I think a good rule of thumb is to ignore the previous week when judging players/transfers. There are some exceptions, but it avoids kneejerk transfers. It would be extremely FPL, for example, to swap Richarlison for Maddison and then Richarlison to haul next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought in Bruno for him in week 2. Bruno got 2pts. Son got 24. I promptly realised my error and got Son for week 3. He got 1pt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2023 if i roll, it gives me another week to assess reece james. was he injured or tired? i know poch said the latter but i have a slight doubt. him and chilwell could be essential picks this season but i need 2 moves to get him in. gabriel is the one that really irked me. arteta can't have been happy with how forest got back into the game so might bring him back in but if there's any suggestion gabriel doesn't start then i'm bringing in pinnock and freeing up 0.5m for the estupinan-james transfer for GW3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have a habit of producing stats with no end product, but I wouldn't be in a rush to get rid of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
