Early trades are to correct mistakes and to make money

Getting Pogba this week is to make money, and monitor how he goes, unless he keeps pumping good scores, he will eventually turn into DeBruyne

Sancho will be a wait and see, no rush, will lose money at start, then he starts looking decent would consider him

Soucek is on my radar ( was in my team last season and made a handy profit last year until I upgraded him) this season could be a mid lock at some stage

Was hoping Toney would be a Pukki of 2 years ago where made a sizeable profit and then traded him out at the right time, Toney on notice

Remember trading in a cheap Liverpool striker mid season few years back and made a very good profit, Divock Origi, got him after one good game, was feeling in through injuries, and had about 5 good weeks and made about 4 mil

A wise man named Dazza once said, "Would of gone close to top 10, but ran out of trades, with 8 weeks to go, was 17th overall, hard trading probably got me to the peak of 17 though and also scored only 32pts in week 30, when a lot the top teams didn’t play and my team had loads of them." I think this is a crime that all of us are guilty of committing in the past, hence why I am heavily spruiking to be just that little bit more careful with trades. It's easy to make money, but the guys that can do it with 2 less trades, will be able to sprint to the finish line and grab the win with those 2 extra trades.

It's not only the bye and DG weeks that are tough to navigate. Last GW madness where teams have nothing to play for, also bring up golden opportunities, whilst killing dreams for others.

Just considering it, Other than the penalty, McGinn’s goal was one of rare AV shots on target

Yeah, lack of saves is a problem, but then no shots means no goals conceded. Was a cracking finish though.

Score: 200
Overall Rank: 111

Fantastic to see so many SCS members get off to great starts and hopefully this continues over the next few rounds.

Current trades:
Out: J Maddison
In: P Pogba
View attachment 33417
No pressing issues yet and would have preferred to keep Maddison a while longer but he was always dispensable (just like Havertz). Will reassess Sema and Toney after RD2.

Can I interest you in Cancelo for Digne and Pogba for Sema? Will that go or not enough cash?

Geez it’s hard to leave Pogba out of trade plans with Soton, Wolves and Newcastle as next 3.
Considering most teams at the real pointy end own him and are raking that cash in.
Who has the potential to hurt more as it stands? Cancelo or Pogba?

Seems a bit much, Man Utd concede too many goals for my liking, think they only had about 10-12 CS last season. I would expect more from a top team.

Well the hope is that Varane will be their VVD and they'll keep 20+ CS.
Shaw is a completely different play as well, and Harry and AWB are good enough to complement them.
Maybe De Gea will find his old form, or Hendo will be back and he's decent too.
But no need to get Varane when Shaw is a similar price and has far more potential.

OK, almost shot myself in the head.
Sent Sportsdeck a message about Gundy's points and it looks like they've changed them (even though it says pts are final once next GW is open).
Some of my opponents had him in they've come damn too close at almost winning our H2H.
So all of you Gundy holders, have a look later tonight and you should have a nice surprise.
It looks like they're currently updated things.
