Prices can rise/fall up to a max 0.3 in a gameweek

Thanks for that. I was looking for that info on the site, couldn't find it. It makes transfer strategy pretty interesting for sure, but im glad that the maximum of 0.3 is not that high. Im thinking ill try and keep a 'spare' transfer (i know you can only hold 1 spare for each round) in the early rounds until i get a better feel for the game and the must-have players identify themselves.

The hardest part re FPL is that you only half your profit. Player increases by 0.2, you only get 0.1 when selling, or 0.1 for a 0.3 increase. Doesn't work the opposite of course when a player decreases in value.

6/107
Played: E Haaland (C), K Walker, B Saka, J Pedro, E Eze and M Diaby
Yet to play: Y Wissa, M Flekken, B Chilwell, M Salah and D Szoboszlai

Tonali spent a considerable amount of time in the fourth to fifth onfield midfield position but switched to Szoboszlai over the past few days. Can trade down Wissa if need be in RD3. Great returns from all involved so far.

All out for 159. Pathetic displays by Szoboszlai and Flekken failing to score in double figures and will be traded immediately once lockout opens for Tonali and Ederson. :ROFLMAO:

In all seriousness, a fantastic start and minimal points lost on 50/50 calls, if any.

Going to hold off trades in RDT.
See what the best cash cows are for week 3.

I think that is the best strategy, unless you have an injured player. 44 trades in 37 weeks of trading is difficult!!

I only wish I'd gone Salah in RDT as Liverpool play Bournemouth in Rd 2 and last season they won 9-0, but I do have Szoboszlai

Looking ahead at my Fantasy side, i think im going to keep a transfer in hand until round 4 where ill get rid of Estupinan and Mitoma/J.Pedro based on their tough draw. Or maybe i just get rid of one and change formation. I am very much thinking about matchups for defenders and trying to plan accordingly. In saying that, i dont know if placing so much emphasis on strength of schedule is the best strategy.

Im pretty happy with my team though. I went for Maddison & Mitoma instead of 1 of De Bruyne or Salah and weakening other areas of the team. Diaby was another i nearly picked - although in his case i'd be happy to have made that selection. That said, Salah is a player id love to have but i chose depth over gun scoring.

Thoughts are welcome.
