Estupinan, Mitoma and Wissa are undroppable at the moment for me. Outscoring the bigger names like Trent and Bruno each week now.

Didn't make any changes after Gameweek 1 and happy with that.
Will be dropping Bruno after today.
yes

Me too, there are many better options than "whiny rat boy" to have in your team.
I think I'll give Rashford and Bruno one more week but they are definitely on borrowed time.

18 so far... I really need Saka to score a hat trick this week.

I gave Stones one more week than I should have done and clearly Macalister is out the door, so that's two transfers already gone. Need to have a serious think about Rashford and Trent as well.

46 so far this week with four to play. Makes up for my woeful return in week one!

It's going to be a terrible week. 25 so far, with Saka and Eze to play. Having captained Saka last week instead of Haaland I switched back to Haaland this week so expect Saka to haul on Monday night.

Very bad week, but at least my Salah captaincy yielded more points than Haaland biggrin

Really need an Arsenal clean sheet as I have 2 of their defenders, Saka scoring some points won't do much as lots of people have him.

Transfers in an attacking Villa player.

Villa win 4-0.

No return from said Villa player.

I’m so glad FPL is back…

It's an infuriating game sometimes.

I mean this is essentially the problem right. Most of the competitive points teams have 80% the same players. Doing something different is a risk - but not doing anything different means you can't win...

Infuriating at times. Estupian, Saka, Haaland, Salah, Mitoma etc are in pretty much every team.

Was chatting to a mate about this, he was blaming the myriad content creators for thousands of players all ending up with the same sort of teams and formation but really it's just a function of the game itself. Ultimately the non-casual players are all looking at the same data and coming up with the same(ish) 11.

Even better.

See’s Pedro on 0 points.

No worries, Encsio’s 7 points to come off the bench.

Realises Pedro actually played and scored 0

And Gabriel out again.

Seriously considering a ridiculously early Wildcard at this rate.

A bit of a frustrating gameweek for me. I played my wildcard and ended up on 39 points, but I had 29 points on my bench! Not my best effort that is for sure.

Got rid of Odegaard from my original team too!

Gabriel looks like he might be off to Saudi... maybe... maybe not.

Frustrating.

Somehow need to get Mbuemo into the team and Gabriel out... probably...

I did alright this week, taking the armband off Haaland and giving it to Salah helped a lot, although my VC Saka didn’t net many. 57 points and green arrows most places, happy with that.

37.

Game week average was 44 so I guess ok.

Anyway Rashford, Stones and MacAlister gone, lets hope for some better luck this week.

I've had a decent start to the season which is surprising considering i've got Gabriel, Nunez and Stones who between them are yet to register a start.
Combined with TAA and Rashford scoring poorly I could do with making 4-5 transfers this week! I've got 2 free so I may make 3-4 changes and then use a free transfer next week. Trying to avoid paying for transfers this season where possible.

48 - so not a disaster. Bruno to be moved out is the main change.

Need to check who is playing Wolves ...
