Hardly surprising to be fair.

I know it’s one game, against a promoted side, injuries happen and the season is long… but Jesus he’s some goal scorer. So often in the right place, if he scores 40 this season I won’t be surprised. I think he won’t be captain for maybe some of the bigger games just in case, but otherwise it’s going to be hard to take it away from him each week.

With Kane going imminently, Haaland's managerial % has gone up and is now nearly 90%. That's why you have to have him IMO.
Completely agree. Even before Kane left, Haaland's ownership was 85.6%. You simply can't afford not to have him in your team. It has become a game of 14 players and an 86m budget.

Looks like I picked the wrong Arsenal defender…

I took a gamble and captained Saka instead of Haaland so I need a hat trick from him.

I took the same gamble. Seemed like a reasonable punt - Haaland had not scored in 5 games and was playing away at a newly promoted side who play good football and whose manager would be looking to put one over on his old boss, whereas Saka was in form and scoring (apart from one penalty miss pre season) and at home against a side with a terrible away record.

So yeah I've lost out the same way too. biglaugh

To be fair, it’s hardly a complete disaster. A goal and 3BP isn’t the worst.

Not wasting money in defence has been okay for me. Leaving Nketiah on the bench was a bit of a bummer.

So with one game to go, a mixed week for me however going to be smiling, I think.

On the downside, six players received cautions (plus Bruno still to come) which is going to sting. However, good week to captain Haaland plus decent returns from Estupinan, Maddison, Saka and Wissa means I have 78 points before Man U v Wolves. Would have taken that at the start for sure.

Anyone else got something daft going on with the points shown in the app?

Yes, what I see in my sons account is totally different to what he sees. Really weird!

That's a great haul. I'm on 64 with Rashford and Fernandes to play tonight.

The proliferation of cards is going to be annoying until that settles down.

I'm on 68 with Rashford to play. Historically I'd normally use the wildcard in week 1 and overhaul my team, however I'm going to be patient this season(hopefully!).

A great start for sure! clap

I was very tempted with Maddison but I wasn't sure which version of him we'd get though. I will definitely keep a close eye on him now though for sure.

Yeah I had Maddi in my team until 6:25 on Friday night when I found out Stones wasn't playing and Foden was so it was a quick bit of shuffling. Wish i'd left it alone now!

Annoyed that Salah goal didn't stand, oh well hope he does something next week! Otherwise he might get the boot as he hogs up so many funds.

On 70 points with Shaw and Rashford to play. I thought I was doing well but a few triple captained Haaland.

50 with Rashford and Shaw still to play so I am sort of in the same boat.

Finished with 81 points and, annoyingly, AWB on the bench with 12 points.
