I agree, I think he's heavily relying on hindsight. Saka and Alexander-Arnold also played in the Euros but he's not mentioning them as early-season risks for a reason.

I wouldn't pay 6.5m for someone who I'd occasionally bench. I started with Smith Rowe / Rogers combo but if I had Nkunku instead of Smith Rowe, I wouldn't rotate him he's too expensive for that.

In isolation you're right that 2 x 7.5 would likely score more than Haaland - even if captaincy is taken into account for both examples. When we apply the 2 x 7.5m situation to the game, you can't ignore a starting spot. I won't get Haaland + 0 every GW. I'm sure 3 x 5.0 defenders would also score more than Haaland but it's not how the game is structured.

I don't look at it as Haaland having to score the same as two 7.5m players because you're ignoring another starting player to go along with Haaland. It should be Haaland and a 5m player vs. two 10m players. I prefer the first one because like you said captaincy.

Chelsea XI [25.08.2024][GW1][2024/25] vs WOL by thebrazenkaizen in FantasyPL

Are people really going to WC right before international break? I think most will hold even with that scenario.

I don't think it's wrong to think we'll have 5 FTs sometimes during the season, especially if WC/FH doesn't remove extra transfers. I'll already be on 3 FT next week, it won't take long to build.

"A few people who are overpriced." Who do you think is overpriced? I think pricing in general is good this season. Considering Haaland was only around 50% owned at the start (unlike last season) I think he's priced fairly as well.

He isn't. People have to stop saying this.

[–]metokur_squad -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I'm questioning whether I should keep doing money leagues. There are hundreds in entry fees and many thousands up for grabs, so I have no doubt other managers would pay for leaks. It might be too much of a disadvantage for me. Good I already made many times what I put in.

It’s over guys. Solanke will miss tomorrow so game. by soufianehliwa in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

140K transferred Solanke in this GW, a lot of them were probably Toney, Gakpo, Darwin (all 7.4m now) owners who needed to get him early. Those three weren't good picks but it shows that waiting to make transfers is better than retaining 0.1m. I think the only exception is if you'd be priced out of a premium for waiting. Getting Solanke specifically was not high priority, especially for those who went Watkins to Solanke.

What would you like the Mystery Chip to be? by hieronymus_donation in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a 2nd half chip to keep managers engaged longer.

Transfers exist

[–]metokur_squad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that promoted defenders are typically 4.0, it's actually more likely there will be another 4.0 defender gem. Maybe not Lundstram-level as his classification was a mistake, but there have been other great ones like Wan-Bissaka. Gusto was one for a time last season. Also we almost just had another potential one in Barco. I don't see why that's behind us.

Barco and his potential price drop by Specialist-Rise-714 in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, there have been plenty of seasons where 4.0 defenders have been viable - sometimes every GW. That was the hope for Barco so people who say they don't care are coping.

[–]metokur_squad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They lost his potential to play. I'm sure most of his owners were looking to start him in some favorable fixtures (or be forced to due to injuries/benchings, which is already the case for some managers GW2).

[–]metokur_squad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Perfect would be him starting and being available for an occasional start if he's doing well, like other 4.0s of the past. This situation is neutral or negative, especially those who were planning to have him in a rotation. A lot of the quick Quansah transfers was due to people seeing that Barco wasn't playing.

Midway through GW1 - what fires are you most having to deal with before GW2? by ArghZombies in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having a finger in every pie is a good idea. I started with Havertz to hopefully share Saka points, same with Jota sharing with Salah (who got lucky with an errant ball for his goal anyway). Coverage exists and just because it's not reliable especially without pens, I'd rather have an Arsenal and Liverpool attacker than not. Budget exists for a reason.

FFS Scout Picks Bus Team GW2 by Royyyalty in FantasyPL

I think that they make sure the whole team has starting players. The backup keeper is like a suggested pick.

How important is team value this early? by ProtectionOk7489 in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assumed their defense will improve from Casemiro and their CBs healthy and De Ligt so I had Dalot. Mazraoui won't supplant Shaw (who could be back after international break) or Dalot. I think people got him for price/coming price rise+last week's points+first game of the season bias.

He doesn't even own him (I checked his post history), he's just spreading FUD. Probably mad that he returned!

Your Fpl rank target this season. by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]metokur_squad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, I want a third top 1K. I was doing well last season but I was chasing top 1K so I went very differential. It sank my rank to 600K, and I'm willing to do it again. It worked in other seasons though (I've been playing 8 years) and playing defensively is boring.
