AndyM3000 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Have to say I think Jesus is a trap and won't do that well but his ownership is a bit too high to ignore. I may have to start with him and evaluate in a few GWs time, if he does hit the ground running it's a game of catch up and I'm not sure I fancy it. I really like Kane and Son but I can't have both and their ownerships won't be massively damaging early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much else going for strikers around that price unless you're taking a differential punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really having a Son / Salah dilema and I change my team accordingly every day. With Liverpool having a proper stiker now, I think it may affect Salah's points, so Son really comes into the frame as there isn't much to differentiate them really and the million difference may be better spent elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current doubt is James at wingback or right sided centre back. Looks like Azpilicueta is hanging around now too. I'm going with James at the start anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if I should take a punt on someone from scummy Leeds, they have one of the "easiest" starts to the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that when Cancelo played on the right they had a 19yo with no senior caps fill in on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 3, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2022 the lowest % owned player in my starting 11 is bailey at 11.7%, so my team is about as template as it gets. all the usual suspects are in it (though i'm now contemplating a couple of differentials). i do have a thought on what would make the game super interesting: award bonus points for players with low % ownership...so for example a goal for a striker owned by less than 5% scores 6, between 5 and 20 scores 5, over 20 scores 4 thoughts?

I don't like that idea. Rather add some other ways to earn/lose points, such as: - Create X chances = +1 point - Make X successful passes = +1 point - Make X successful tackles = +1 point - Concede a penalty (i.e., the player who fouled or handballed, etc.) = -1 or -2 points Basically, a lot of factors that go into the bonus points calculations, but actually affecting overall point scores Edited August 3, 2022 by a-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
