Is this the first time in a few seasons where the more serious player is off to a better start than the casual?

I think so, in my main cash league the majority of the guys towards to the top would be ones I consider to be quite serious about fantasy. While the casuals are not doing as well as previous years.

That must make me a casual.

The post was just a nice way of telling you tbh

Iago

After averaging 90 each week I find myself in the heady heights of 6th & 7th respectively in my main two leagues.


What a time to be alive

Thought I was the only one.

Same start for me this year. Monster scores GW1 and GW2. GW3-8 last year where a shambles so hopefully improves this year.

My season long no transfer team at the heady heights of 18K while my regular team languishes at 133K in OR

A woman in work got her son to pick her team in week 1 last season, no transfers all season long, she was top of our mini league until Christmas, Aguero was the captain all season long, she ended up third.

That happened me, finished 105th and then the following season had my worst ever, 1.4m, the lads just weren't motivated

Lots of leagues where people are already 100 points down, its over for them

My front 3 of Aguero Firmino PEA are really limiting my options in Midfield. Should I look at downgrading one?

Current mids are Salah Richarlison Bilva Kante (Gunnarsson).

I think after last night Firmino gets one last week in my team.

Could do Firmino to Ings, Bilva to Mane then.

He was pretty anonymous, doesn't look sharp at all at the moment.

That’s me in pretty much all my leagues and also out of the last man standing league in week 2! I’m actually pretty pissed off over it as I thought my team was very strong starting off! It’s going to be hard to get motivated now

100 down over 36 weeks is less than 4 points a week. It's early days yet.

Depends on the player you are trailing
I was 100 points behind to a competitive player this time last year
Didn't get within 50 points of him till season end
And the gap was in or around 100 for majority of it

That kind of a gap so early leads to points hit and catpaincy risks

So yes it is early days but in my main league if I was 100 points ahead now id be confident of winning it even if there are 36 weeks to go

Good start is half the battle and all that

The problem with being 100 pts down is that not only do you have to take points hits to get ur team right but ur also chasing team value, they are picking up the price rises while you’re buying them at higher.
It’s a bad time of year to have a bad run

Well I took a -8 to avoid the price drops so I’ve .2 itb and team value 100.2 hopefully get back on track points wise this week

Could someone tell me why price rises are so important?

For examle I have Mane and Mendy. I will probably never sell them. So, it doesn't really make much odds to me does it?

You more than likely will sell them due to injury, suspension, loss of form ,blank gws, dgws .The more money you have to spend the better.. Very rare a player ends up in your team for a season.

Can anyone explain this to me

I had Walker in my team before the start of the gameweek and Wan-Bissaka on the bench,Walker didnt play and i got 0 points for him on Sunday,i transfered him out for the next game week and Alonso in and Wan-Bissaka in the team for this week,now for gameweek 2 i received -2 for Bissaka being sent off when he wasn't even in my team at the start of the gameweek

Its only 2 points but it would of brought me over 90 for that week

Wan B subbed in as Walker didn't play.

Thanks does that usually happen?,i was on 91 with Walker not playing and now 89 because of an automatic substitution :mad:

Happens every time. A starting player that doesn't play will be replaced by the first player on the bench who did, provided that after that sub coming in that your team still constitutes a valid formation.

Bobby at home to bright ..hopefully he kicks off his season here

jamesbere

Wan b only one game suspension, that's good. Don't have to sell anyone in defence now.

Does anyone think pogba is worth keeping, I know he's been poor but he's getting points. Granted two penalties, but I fear he'll do something against spurs

-=al=-

Hard to say. United look toxic atm but Pogba the only one worth keeping from them

Wan B season keeper for sure he's doing a great job for 4.0 and looks fantastic, apart from that little Salah incident he's been great.

I had pogba a in and out of my team last year, gave a few returns but no consistency. I'll probably ship him out alright, think miki is a good choice and decent fixtures. And he's playing pretty well.

United are not something I want to consider for the moment. Arsenal have good fixtures coming up, just wish Leno would get a start, 4.9 now

Wan b is looking good, nice option for a cheap def.
