Mare, I’d have more points if I done feck all transfers
I did Hwang to Gordon on WC. Hwang had to go because of Asia Cup but timing was terrible.
Also reluctantly bought Tripper. Him and Gordon are going straight out for Arse def + mid.
Ya, transfer had to be made just terrible timing!!!
Started clearing the deck for Asia Cup/AFCON way too early.
I didn't have that many, only Son, Mbeumo and Salah. Mbeumo went after his injury. Son after couple of weeks of blanks following Maddison's injury, but Asia Cup was on my mind. Still have Salah.
What I did was completely shy away from any players who are going to be involved in these tournaments the past 5 or 6 weeks. I doubted Hwang anyway after Neto got injured, thinking it might slow him down but it soon became apparent it wasn't going to. Then there's Kudus and one or two other potentials I ignored. Didn't want to deal with the headache of transferring them all out when the tournaments start. Players I have gone for just haven't been producing.
Oh well, first season playing. Something to learn from for 2 season's time when the next AFCON is on. Think Asia Cup is every 4 years?

Alvarez couldn't score in a brothel.
Good job I took Hwang out last week....
Alvarez! Never doubted you my son.
Alvarez and Foden.
I feel dirty…

They better give Alvarez assist for that one.
Should do? Last touch that made a meaningful change to direction?
They haven’t though.
And that’s put Bernard top of the BPS too.
They won't give it on semantics. They'll argue the bolded part below means where Alvarez intended it to go (he didn't intend it to go anywhere as he didn't deliberately play the ball). But it can also be interpreted as where the ball was going regardless of whether it was deliberate or not. It's a rather vague wording.
Assists
Fantasy assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team who last touches the ball before their teammate who scores the goal. The final touch can be an intentional pass, an inadvertent touch, or the result of an effort on goal.
If an opposing player deflects the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist in Fantasy is awarded. Should an unforced defensive error lead to the goalscoring opportunity, then no Fantasy assist will be awarded. If the goal scorer loses and then regains possession, then no assist is awarded.
Feel exactly the same although might be chasing points. I want Foden for Gordon next week. Do I take a -4 for TAA who has a dodgy run of games upcoming? It don't feel right...
That’d be fine if they were consistent, but they give assists for crosses glancing off players eyelashes.
As inconsistent as refs and VAR
Too late to transfer out Haaland now? Thinking about getting Nkunku for a week. Or should I stay safe and get Alvarez considering majority of my mini league competitors and league leader has him. I already have Watkins and Solanke. With only Salah as my player leaving for international duty, I don’t need to bin him and can keep him on my bench. This will be the team
Pickford (Dubravka)
Porro TAA Semedo ( Taylor, Livramento)
Garnacho Richarlison Saka Salah (Sarabia)
Watkins Solanke Nkunku

Yeah Gordon to Foden does sound sexier but how long does he keep his place when KDB and Haaland are back? As for Trent well you can see from the above that they're dishing out BPP's to him even when he's booked and does sweet fa so seems risky to go without.
Do you reckon there's a chance we don't see Haaland until 22 now anyway after Pep's comments? They have Newcastle away in 21 anyway so not an obvious captain choice.
Could bring in Trent and Foden this week for Gordon and Trippier. Take out Son and Salah the week after for Bowen and Ode and then have the money in 22 for Archer to Haaland.
Whats the consensus amongst those who have built up significant value in Salah?
Plan A - Bench him during AFCON
Plan B - Sell him prior to AFCON and bring him back at a discounted price somewhere near his anticipated return
Plan C - Sell him and bring him back on the 2nd WC
I'd arguably sell him now if I had little to no value in him.

I'm selling Son and Salah. There's an argument you can now go back to Richarlison over Son in that Spurs attack as well since he's been pushed out wide again.
Actually we should really be considering Jota as well now in 21 shouldn't we?
Only 12 people in the entire world triple captained Wood.
@Dirty Schwein Could ignore Trent and play Doughty in the next 3 (keeping Trippier and benching him)
Luton v Chelsea (H)
Luton v Burnley (A)
Luton v Brighton (H)
Newcastle v Luton (H)
Newcastle v Forest (A)
Newcastle v Bournemouth (H)
Decent shout for some points in that lot. And then just do Gordon to Foden this week and take a hit or wildcard the week after to sort out Son, Salah, Kabore etc...

Yeah lots to think about. Then inevitably make the wrong decision.
How scared are you of Trent? Mini league leader got him in this week for Tsimi. I don't think he's got enough in the bank for Foden though unless he loses one of Son, Salah or Saka. Could see him binning Darwin for Alvrez.

So when do we get a second wildcard?
At the weekend. You should be able to activate it as soon as the game comes back online for GW21.
I'm not that worried. But then again, I wasn't worried about Solanke either
Thank you Cassius of Claymore.
So my if I take out Mitoma today that's all good and counts for the weekend's games?
Yeah normal transfers for this week. Think I'll likely just do Gordon to Foden as long as nobody gets injured tonight.
Interestingly GW21 is spread over 2 weekends so there are murmurings of games being rescheduled in there. Think if that were the case we'd see a lot of wildcards activated.
Definitely taking him out now. Alvarez or Nkunku?
A player who should play most/all games for a top team vs Nkunku?
Ive had Alvarez a while now so not a decision for me but I’d go him. Should get more opportunities even if Chelski have a couple of decent fixtures
Bowen or Foden in to replace Gordon?
Use 2nd free transfer to switch Darwin to Alvarez?
Use 2nd free transfer to switch Darwin to Alvarez?
Need some help.
It's Foden (Gordon out) or TAA (Kabore out) the better play?
I can also technically do both for a -4, which I am not opposed to buy then getting from my current team to the team I want by GW22 will become impossible as I would need zero price changes to a whole load of players...
Current team:
Raya
Porro, Saliba, Doughty
Salah, Son, Saka, Gordon, Palmer
Alvarez, Twatkins
Subs: Dabruvka, Branthwaite, Archer, Kabore

I mean you've pretty much talked me out of the hit for TAA so Gordon > Foden and play Doughty. You're quite decent at home and Chelsea can be appalling on their day (which tbf is most days this season).
Yeah I think it was fomo kicking in. Thanks for calming me down
Nah, in reality, I saw that I can get the team I want AND have TAA but in realistically, a single price move will screw me so no point.
Look at TAAs points this last few games. He's getting max bonus for doing nothing too.
Feels like earlier season Trippier.
Foden for me (partly as already have him and have for a while). Fixtures are fine for weeks ahead.
TAA fixtures are a mix, some tough ones in next few. Kabores aren’t awful in next five so should pick up some CSS hopefully but worse case, might not differ much to TAA
I could see Foden putting 10-20 on Gordon in coming month. Liverpool only have to concede one and Trents points (and ridiculous BPS) are gone.
Is there a list of players that PL clubs will be losing to AFCON/Asian Cup?
