Mistakes look like Bailey and Rashford but a bit early to tell yet. I’ll be rolling the FT next week and saving it for GW3 bailey is a tough one. no obvious replacement if he doesn't work out.

I will never learn that lesson. I've been conned by Digne for many seasons now. Let my Villa tinted glasses con me into Emi and Digne instead of Ederson and Dier, thinking BOU would be a better clean sheet opportunity than WHU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted August 8, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2022 Kane price drop already. Some crazy amounts of people dropping big players right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Well I completely messed my first week up! Thought I’d be clever and pick Kane over Haaland, then to compound matters I captained him instead of Salah at the last minute. Is it too early to give up?

Those 2 alone mean he's comfortably midtable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be rolling the FT next week and saving it for GW3 Yep definitely too early. Digne could have easily been Zinchenko for me but they're both placeholders for Perisic anyway and hindsight is 20/20. The rest I'm happy to own. Bailey probably out soon after West Ham anyway. Da Silva rotates very nicely with Andreas if we go that way. But there are options everywhere. As for FTs. My plan was a City mid for Kulu in GW2 but Kulu then goes into Wolves and Forest so I may even keep him considering no City mid staked a claim. I might risk Mahrez seeing as he missed out against West Ham and if he does come in you'd fancy he'll go off. Let's see what the week brings up.

Kane only amassed 0.1 xG in a game where Spurs scored 4, which is a tad concerning. Son got 0.6 for example. Haaland amassed 1.7. Even if you take away his penalty it's an xG of 1. The difference in performance, FPL wise, is vast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swap was always my plan unless injuries prevented it Hoping to get through next week without making any transfers to give me the option of two the following week if a rejig is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
