DODGED A BULLET
All that tinkering and furore ahead of GW1 and we didn’t even select the most obvious player. But we had our reasons and we felt justified, although watching Salah open up with a hat-trick was a tad galling for us and no doubt all of the other non-owners out there. In retrospect we probably got away with it better than most as we scored 59pts vs an average of 50. Captain Aubameyang opened up with a rare goal on his travels and 7pts (doubled) is acceptable and far from a failure. Mitrović on the other hand was a complete shocker as he couldn’t even claim a start and got just 27mins off the bench.
Our secret weapon Tyrick Mitchell was a definite win though as he bagged a clean sheet vs Saints, while Van Dijk at least combined his comical defending with a goal. We won’t mention TAA. Or Havertz. Or Saint Maximim. We were chuffed with the selections of Vardy and Wilson who delivered 21pts between them and look good assets for the foreseeable. Well for this weekend at least.
Ranks mean nothing at this stage, but for the record we go into GW2 with a position of 1,737,686.
Our GW1 result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW2 transfer(s)
None! We decided that we were so happy with not having Salah the first week that we would do it again. Fool me once shame on thee; fool me twice, delete the team. Funny thing is, Salah didn’t even come up, no one seemed too worried about not having him. It was one of the fastest votes ever. I mean there was one committee member that suggested we wildcard, but that was quickly dismissed by (all) the others rather emphatically.
Sorry, back to the team now, hate you had to see that. The idea with having Bruno from the go was so we could possibly save a transfer this GW and get a little more time to evaluate players before we start bringing them in. So in the end this is us just sticking to our guns and seeing this mini plan through. Well, seeing that we have made no transfers, let’s just get to the captaincy decision.
Captain – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Unanimous again, what is going on? One right after the other voted to give Auba another go at the armband. In part, because he plays West Ham who as a club will probably be too busy fighting each other to worry about marking Auba. If for some reason Auba doesn’t make his match we have the penalty king Bruno Fernandes waiting in the wings as our vice captain.

Thanks.
Went it Just now Elle
I’m already in one. Are you looking for people to (a) create a second team, or (b) just use the existing teams? If (b), I’d be in…
Thanks, Elleffcee
Jump in.
Need me to send my details, Elle?
No.
I’ll enter if you’re still short.
Forget to join the league I’m in new Entries now
Wrong league. I joined classic league with my second account :whistle:
The league is closed to new entries
Saving the FT for this week. Good to go here?
You are mate, yeah.
Long term, running with 2 x 4.5mln midfielders only really works for me in a 433 so next week with your transfers, I’d target a replacement for Vinagre or one of the midfielders to a 5.5 if the other transfer frees some funds.
Exactly my thinking. Thanks GP, I feel so off balance with this team. Probably going to look to downgrade a striker to free up more funds in the future too. Mitro is a great player and he can score goals but Fulham are a Championship team now in the Premier League and you will get punished.
Looks good to me.
Thanks Treacle.
So I was all set and then I hear dele alli is a big game time risk now. So I’ve done Alli to James for a -4. Best laid plans already up in the air.
Could be a great move, if he scores today there well be a swell of transfers for him.
Everton have good a fixture run until gw11 so hoping he does well. I fancy anchelotti to make Everton a good attacking side.
And there it is!
Woo hoo
Thanks to those who jumped in to make the numbers up in H2H division 8. Only your teams higher up the leagues will get promotion/relegation.
Thanks once again.
It’s been an awful gameweek after a 96 pointer last week. I guess that’s always the way in FPL! Looking ahead to GW3…..time to WC? I try to hold onto my WC for long as possible but looking at my team a la Vinagre, Saka, ASM, Soucek….it does not bode well. I have 0.0 ITB and 2 FT. Any transfer advice would be much appreciated! :worthy:
Justin hit actually paid off, now he scored. Lol. Non playing defender versus this.
