Yeah i've had both since the start.

Still toying with getting rid of Haaland but.... form temporary class permanent etc etc.

I think I can get Palmer in without selling Haaland but it means ditching Gabriel for some no hoper which i'm not too keen on on....

I have Gabriel too and .9 in the bank so can do Saka to Palmer at current prices but I'm going to wait till after the international break before deciding whether to sub or roll the transfer.

56 points here too. Can't believe Salah is only 48% owned whilst Haaland is on 64% and Cole Palmer on 53%. He's proving to be a valuable differential.

I've had Salah from the start, and he has definitely done me proud that is for sure. I didn't start with Haaland, but I did get him from gameweek 3 though, although I'm not sure if he is essential anymore in fairness now. Palmer has currently dipped in form too.

I've had them both from the start but not Palmer. That might change after the international break we'll see.

I've had all 3 since gameweek 3(started the season with both Palmer/Salah), and I think that helped with my good start to the season. I've dropped right off being competitive now though sadly, but there is still chance that I could pick up again I think, especially if I can resist taking hits for a lot of the time too.

I used my wildcard last week which usually guarantees an underwhelming score but it actually worked out well this time with 83 points! Would have been even better if I'd picked the right Wolves forward....

I ditched Haaland and definitely feel it gives me a better balanced squad, it pretty much means you can have 3 premium mids and still have decent options in defence and up front.

My defence isn't especially sexy because I have Salah/Palmer/Haaland, and I had to compromise somewhere, so the defence took the brunt really.

To be fair, we aren't exactly seeing the defenders score highly so there is plenty of value in some of the unsexy options!

[North West Tom]

My defenders might be considered 'sexy' (Alexander-Arnold, Pedro Porro and Saliba), and they're bloody useless.

[MiniMan64]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, spending budget in defence is a waste of time. All sub 5.0 price for me I think and I finished on 80.

Are you all playing https://fantasy.premierleague.com/? Only just noticed this thread, I'm playing in a couple of other groups, adds a bit of interest to watching games/highlights when you're invested in *random player* from *random club* bagging points for your fantasy league team Is there a PH league you folks are all in?

My current team (defenders did me a huge favour last game!):



Like others, I've toyed with ditching Haaland but he at least scored in last weeks defeat.... and once he's gone it's tough to get him back because of the pricetag. Plus, he's still the top ranked forward by some margin - and the final nail is it's a hedge against the fact so many others have him.

Nice one, joined but can't see myself on the list - presume I start from new rather than carrying over my meagre 601 which would be me about bang average.

Still not brave enough to pull the trigger on Haaland

The FOMO is strong

Part of me wants to get rid of him to be honest, but I'm just hoping that he returns back to form eventually though. I didn't have him for the first 2 gameweeks, and I was originally planning to go without him long term, and if I had, I wouldn't have missed out really as it has turned out up to yet.

[MiniMan64]

I think if I’m honest my main thing it that I don’t really need the money and all the replacements are cheap. Already got Salah, Sakas probably the next best bet.

I'd like Saka myself(I had him last season), but I've already got Haaland/Salah/Palmer, so I just can't find the room/money for him.

I ended up dropping Haaland and getting Saka and upgrading my forwards too.

[trackdemon]

Tempted to drop haaland for salah and use the spare cash to upgrade midfield or forwards…. But Sod’s Law dictates he’ll hit a run soon even though Citeh are off it. It’s a tricky one because the price makes it hard to get him back in…. But the point of the game is to score points and that changes week by week! With Liverpool city coming up soon it’s a tricky call to make.
I had a dire week last time because holiday and by the time I even thought to look the +5 time difference meant I was locked in on a team I thought was ok but only did 30.
Sadly not there any more so happy to put some thought into good subs… which brings me back to the haaland/salah debate. Especially as it frees up a bit to strengthen an already decent forward line

[fiatpower]

I dropped Haaland last week and brought in Salah. Was going to do it the week before but bottled it and then regretted it. He'll probably go on a run soon but i've made the call now. I've done so badly this year I've needed to do something radical to mix it up.

I have both Haaland and Salah but am hovering over the sell button on Haaland to get Cunha in.

Did that last week which turned out great as it meant I also got 2x Salah points. Going forward I'll just have to live with whatever Haaland does and hope the upgrades I made elsewhere work out better overall.
