Fantasy Premier League 22/23
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
My Salah-less approach has worked out as usual with Sterling blanking, so naturally I’m at least 25 points behind everyone. Sancho could win me back some points but it is still going to be a terrible weekend.
Thing is, though, Darwin looked great and so did Diaz in the first half so I am inclined to stick to my team for the next 3-4 weeks while saving a transfer here & there instead of going back to Salah immediately. I don’t really have the fun in just copying everyone else’s team and seemingly in my three MLs everyone has virtually the same team.

If you want without Salad, then his ponies against Fulham shouldn't change anything because I'm sure you knew there was a high chance that was always going to happen.
Yeah, I considered this a strong possibility considering his opening games before. However I did bank on Darwin/Diaz getting me a similar return and Darwin did amazing, the issue is my captain choice was very poor (Sterling) which left me behind. I do expect Sterling to get a lot of points this year though, being Chelsea‘s main attacking outlet, so I will give him 3-4 more games, especially as Haaland will probably be my captain for the next 4 so I don’t really need Salah if I’m not going to give him the C.
Is the time to move to Haaland from Kane now, or wait to see how he does against West Ham? Shitting myself now as basically everyone else in my ML has the fecker.
Happy Haaland Hat-trick Day folks!
Kneejerk FC
Don't jinx it ffs!
Early moves I'm considering:
Diaz to Kulu
Kane to Haaland
Perisic to cucurella
Yes, v knee jerk and will give it a week or two more, but the first two in particular are on my mind.

Nah that was always the plan, City against Bournemouth feels like a potential rout.
kneejerk I know but I am tempted to immediately do the Kane to Darwin switch. Most will be going Kane > Haaland so I could get a jump on the crowd.I can see him returning v Chelsea though and I also think when Perisic starts playing he'll be the target for a lot of those crosses.
I mean we can't really complain about his positioning. We've known this for a while now.
Its only GW1 and I'm already relying on Rashford and Dalot to save my week, and then have to hide behind the sofa hoping Haaland does not haul.
Welcome back FPL.
Welcome back FPL.
Gotta admit no United players feels a bit scary. Fully expecting Rashford to get some points today
The mile race that I'd previously assumed was peak hard coreness actually turned out to be by far the easier race!
Fell races are insane. 1100 feet climb over 1.2miles and you lose to people you'd batter on road races!
Wait until after the game of course.
See how he looks and obviously make sure he comes through injury free.
But for me Kane was high risk for this one game. Knew they'd annihilate Southamptpn and its sods law he did nothing points wise.
Why on earth Cucurella? Surely you have to wait and see how on earth he fits in with Chilwell there.
Chillwell will be on the bench
Hope so. Always feels good having a United attacker and watching them. Well, if they do well of course.
Roll on a miserable performance and subbed on 59!
Famous last words.
Thought he looked lively when he came on and set up their best chance. They made him the most expensive fullback of all time so you'd expect them to play him. I take your point though, one to monitor as opposed to going in on more but think he could represent value at 5m
I was hoping it would change as last season it was the whole golden boot for Son and he'd start behaving like someone who is chasing the PL goal record of all things.
I can see him returning v Chelsea though and I also think when Perisic starts playing he'll be the target for a lot of those crosses.

I think I'm at a point where I have to conclude he's not fit to be a striker in a Conte system. He doesn't have the legs to bomb forward in a counter attacking system, which is what Conte demands. He's a quality passer and is just gonna be used to start counters and it's almost always gonna be Son, Kulu and the wingbacks at the end which happened almost every single time yesterday. Chelsea is even more of a "Son" game where they will counter behind their defense. It's not just positioning, even when he was at the edge of the box he was happy to stop running and just pass it to others.
30 seconds after the FT in the City game and he'd be fecking off.
Thank feck I got no United players, I would be even more pissed off
You make a compelling case.
It's gone as bad as it probably could have. Punts on Sancho and Dalot looking terrible so far. Son in the team and only got an assist despite Spurs scoring 4. Added Trent and got rid of Wilson and Burn. Probably miles behind the top teams in my work league after one bloody week.
Think I may play the wildcard very soon tbh, unlimited transfers isn't it during the World Cup so basically we have three wild cards this season/?

He's not wrong.
Easy captain choice, wanted to risk a Jesus (C), but unless 2 cm come in who can control and pass the ball is has to be Salah
Get yourselves in Dewsbury Hall
How it is not assist for Dalot? Ffs
Grealish and Foden starting. Both can be great value if nailed.
I was surprised to see such an experienced guy go without Salah. And this is exactly what people feared. All these other options but if Liverpool bang Salah will be permacaptain for everyone.
Mahrez on the bench. Of course.....i should have knew better. Denial is a bitch
So, when is everybody planning on the first wildcard? Is is crazy that I'm thinking of already playing it?
Can’t see Grealish ever been nailed, but could see it with Foden. I thought Grealish would be benched today with Foden on the left and Mahrez starting.
Because the keeper cleared it onto the goon defender who wellied it in.
The only enjoyable part of the last 90.
Ok, seems to me that Rashford wasn't bargain after all
Rashy out asap.
After Kane to Haaland of course.
After Kane to Haaland of course.
I can never help myself. Picking United attackers when i really should know better.
Yup. Martinelli is better option. But i will keep Kane. He will deliver
What do we say to picking players in games involving Brighton? Not today.
