31 with 3 to play. . I thought a midfield containing Eriksen, Zaha and Bernardo Silva would be a good idea.

Picking 2 people involved in transfer nonsense and a Pep midfielder that isn’t Sterling was an awful idea.
Yes, that it was an awful idea was kind of what I was getting at. I picked my team weeks ago and then didn't bother to change it when the transfer sagas picked up steam. Not the smartest move. In my defense, this is my first time playing Fantasy Football.
Jota and Aubameyang to the rescue today, please.
Pepe on the bench ffs.
I hate week 1.
90+ points even without pulisic playing. Second year in a row I’ve dominated the first week and then fallen off a cliff.
Forgot to hit "save" and trotted out a ridiculous XI but next week will be different!
Scoring 100+ points in the first week knowing it’ll never happen again is annoying.
Dunk and Ward sitting on the bench (17 points) whilst Murray and King not doing anything (4 points).
Two 9 pointers, a 6 pointer and a 2 pointer sat on the bench.
Guess which one got on?
88 points first week. Happy with that.
All of the premium players did the business so there's a lot of high scores around. There's 6 out of 8 people with 70+ in my friends league.
I think I'm practically going to be playing with ten men every week unless I mix things up a little.
Aguero, Kane and Salah all scoring makes it hard to take out one of the big boys but I need the funds from somewhere if I'm to have players who actually play.
I currently got:
Patricio, McGovern; Digne, van Dijk, TAA, Zinchenko, Lundstram; Sterling, De Bruyne, Salah, Barkley, Perez; King, Greenwood, Wickham using a 4-5-1. To get Kane in, I have to take De Bruyne out, can't afford to have Salah, De Bruyne, Kane and Sterling in one squad without using my wildcard and sacrificing a lot elsewhere.
Few questions. Do you get a free transfer each week? Do players value fluctuate?
Yes and yes. You can roll over one free transfer, but you never have more than 2 free transfers in one week.
wow i actually finished with 66 points despite again fucking up my XI. Really thought i'd have 20 at best lol
Vice captains must be double? De Gea got 10 points but got me 20 on the sheet? I accidentally captained Shane Long but he got subbed out somehow I guess, is that why?
V/C takes over captain status if the captain doesn't play.
I see Rashford & Martial already have gone up .1 in price. That certainly makes it much harder now to get them.
Considering I thought I completely fucked my team last week I decided to imagine that I actually did and bite the bullet on a bunch of transfers.
Ended up moving out Pogba, Siggy, Raul Jimenez, and Van Dijk to bring in Kane & Rashford (and Dendocker and Moussa Sissoko).
This was probably rash but I'd rather have 3 higher tier strikers than midfielders I reckon.
Didn't use a transfer this week so I could get in two next week.
Pepe coming off the bench for Arsenal and Kean not starting again is really annoying. I feel like they'd be really good fantasy options if they played but I might have to take them out so I don't get fucked by their value.
Digne with an assist and a goal each for Wilson and King already, probably the best 15 minutes I've ever had in fantasy football.
It's not Callum Wilson, just in case you didn't realise
...oh. oops.
I thought Danny Drinkwater would get a look in at Burnley but no such luck. I have half a squad of none starters so next week it's a change up. Unless ofcourse Aguero and Kane fancy a hatrick each later.
Pukki is gonna be very popular
Lundstram as 1st sub
Same. I considered swapping him for Barkley and decided to give him one more week. And obviously he's on the bench, and will come on for 5 mins at the end.
Him and Lucas as 1st and 2nd subs
Worst thing is, I definitely meant to start Lucas.
I'm on a whopping 17 with 3 to play.
This might be the worst week I've ever had.
Amazed Barkley didn't come on. 11 extra points that has won me.
14. he gets 3 bonus points.
Plummeting as expected. I used my two free transfers and one for -4 points and brought in some newbies. Aguero being the one to go in place of Mane, Greenwood brought in as a make shift although I doubt he'll get minutes either.
Mousset returned after I had him initially before the season started (wasn't he a big money move?)
Kepa
Van Dijk
David Luiz
Walker
Trezeguet
Salah
Maddison
Felipe Anderson
Mane
Greenwood
Kane
Stekelenburg, Kelly, Reid, Mousset.
I feel I'm missing the point.
I'm considering taking a 4 point hit.
Robertson, Barkley and Wickham out, AWB, Cantwell and Pukki in.
Joe Linton and Millvojevic out for Pukki and Ndombele.
Pepe (who has already dipped in price) and Kean get another week.
I hate these early season massive swings that fuck up the prices. They should make it so prices don't start fluctuating until 3 rounds in or something
Fuck, Wood down 0.1. I'm seriously thinking going -4 for next week with 3 transfers. I just know if I take Pukki he'll calm down.
Fuck, Fraser down as well!
I'm sort of OK with being on 26 ahead of tonight's game (Jimenez and Wan Bissaka), seems to be a phenomenally low scoring week in contrast to week 1.
I've a full suite of United attackers so hopefully they get stuffed.
Wily Boly hatrick.
