Chilwell. He's about to go up in price tonight, so I panicked and got him in for Ake. In my mind, Ake is a minutes risk with Gvardiol coming in and the obvious Pep roulette.

Thanks ! What’s the story with Gabriel ?
Everyone and their dog has Onana in goal and I thought I was clever playing Brighton defenders. Might be time to cull United players.
No clue at all honestly. Someone posted above that Saudi clubs are trying to sign him? Now that's Timber is injured, he might start their next match.

83 all out this week. Can’t trust triple United though. Bruno might need to go
We're not going to get a pen over the first half of the season now that the ref's made a mistake that benefitted us, so Bruno's value will diminish greatly.

My thoughts exactly. We need Højlund fit before we’ll get the kind of box entries from wingers to win pens too.
Not sure who to swap Bruno out too though?
Luis Diaz?

Saves me £1m and I don’t have any Liverpool assets my only worry their is rotation but that’s a good shout
Chill the feck out. Spurs are as open as it gets. Then Forrest at home. Wolves have always been difficult for us to break down. No need to rush my man.
Finished on 85 points. Everyone returned except Rashford and Jackson so no complaints at all really. Already made the Ake to Chilwell transfer for the next GW. Barring any late dramas its going to be the same team except Turner comes in goal for Onana and Salah's gonna be captain.
I fully expect Tottenham to score against and I don't want to be a nervous wreck again watching us hang on for our dear life.

Might have to wildcard it already
72 points. Place around 4000000. Wtf? People are killing it this year?
Wait ffs. Plenty of time for that. Don't panic. And why?
I made it in the top 10,000 for the first time ever 
I’ve not really played for a few years. Do they give more points now? I got 70 points this week. Is it a different scoring system? Or is it Haaland breaking the game?
Same scoring system, just been one of those weeks where the higher owned players not called Bruno or Rashford have got attacking returns.
Congratulations, play your Bench boost or triple Captian?I made it in the top 10,000 for the first time ever
triple captain the wrong player (saka) otherwise would be higher with Haaland
I didnt end up doing it, and it was an over reaction to how poor we were tonight to be honest, but it does have some merit.
Got both Garnacho and Bruno. Garnacho was massively underwhelming tonight, I plan to take him out after GW3 anyway, but now I'd expect Sancho to start over him against Spurs.
Bruno is playing extremely deep with Mount now in the side.
Also got Stones and Gabriel which are both injury doubts, as well as Trippier facing City next week.
I've instead took the more sensible option of just removing Bruno for Diaz and seeing how next week goes. Hopefully I can bank 2 transfers and them swap out Garnacho and 1 of the defenders without having to sacrifice any points or chips.
Lots of Haaland TC
86 pts while captaining Saka. 170k. Not a bad start.
Ended on 85 points. Going to transfer Trippier for Chillwell and bench Richy for Watkins.
Is Van Hecke likely to be a regular starter for Brighton? At 4.0 he would be an absolute steal if he is.
74 points with Trossard, Gabriel, Pickford and Rashy blanking, onwards to GW2!
Bench Richarlison vs United? That's crazy.
Very nice! Yeah, a bit early for Trippier still and Chillwell looks cheap in that role for Chelsea.
Ended on 74 myself. Will just roll a transfer this round and hope my differential pays off (Darwin starts and returns) before I turn him into Jackson going into GW3.
The potential headache, Gabriel, will stay for now, but will maybe be benched for Baldock. We'll see.
Could be, but I guess we'll see when Webster is back fit... Only downsides is that Brightons fixtures is pretty bad from GW4 and onwards, and he takes up a Brighton spot when their fixtures improves from GW10 when you want Estu + 2 attackers.
Anyone tempted by Enzo? 5m, favourable fixtures, played further forward than anticipated against Liverpool and that's before they bring in two new defensive midfielders which might release him further again. Will play every game. Tempting
The highest scorer of the week none other than Raphael Varane with 14 points!
I captained Rashford which didn't go too well. Only on 67 points.

I'm tempted, but (a) there are a lot of affordable attacking point-scoring midfielders who don't cost much more, and (b) who is he enabling that's worth it? Salah?
FFS Chilwell rising already. GW3 wildcard intensifies...
Could always go James I guess....

They never give them. It's hilarious it's being made into this big issue just because United are involved. It happens all the time, the game moves on and no-one says a thing about it.
The key is not to kneejerk !!
Everyone has spent ages coming up with their final squad, that thought process does not change after one game week.
Im going to roll my transfer as planned.
Just hope Gabriel is back otherwise its probably Gabriel to James in GW3.
But I agree, we need to keep an eye out on Bruno's performances, if he and United are still putting in performances like last night then its time to move him on.

sadly he’s probably the most viable bench option. I made a faux pas with Trippier as I didn’t look at how difficult Newcastle fixtures were in the opening weeks!Bruno for the chop in a couple of weeks.
Knee jerking is foolarse yes.
But Bruno to Diaz looks appetising doesn't it.
Home to Bournemouth. With Bruno having Tottenham and Arsenal aways in the next 3.
Yeah I'm considering that move. He played some nice passes at times last night, but they were to someone in a position to cross as opposed to being in a position to shoot. If he's playing deeper he isn't going to get as many assists or goals and we can forget about being given pens for a while.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread. The problem is he's unlikely to get much in the way of GA and the midfielders are the difference makers again this year but more expensive. As a bench option, he'd work if you somehow play 4 at the back or 3 up front.

It’s on my mind too. I want Maddison, three Chelsea and three Newcastle. I would have had all of that apart from Newcastle if I had gone with my nice, safe template.
It literally all depends on how Salah goes against Bournemouth, and it will have to be crazy good now not to do it early.
I still think maxing out on Newcastle and Chelsea (who didn't even win) after 1 game is a bit knee jerky. Chilwell would actually be my 3rd Chelsea player (Chuka and Jackson already) anyway and Salah > Maddison in GW3 would free up plenty of funds to do that and more going forward. Also Newcastle still don't have the best fixtures so I'm happy to wait until GW4/5 before moving for Isak (Salah funds would enable him in for Pedro). In short, hold those knees and let's get one more week of info.
I think these GW2 fixtures are probably a better gauge of how the likes of Newcastle, Chelsea, Spurs and United will fare this season anyway.
Trossard is the only one I'm really annoyed with myself at. In hindisght was a punt too many. Had thought Arteta might give him some starts being as he was there best player in pre season but then he played what ever the feck that formation was at the weekend.
