Discussion 2024/25 EPL Dream Team Discussion: GW21 starts WEDS 15th JAN @ 5:30am AEST [3 GAMES]

[Miller is a Steele]

FPL 6/15…. Haaland outscoring my whole team so far. Saka assist then 5 blanks. Not fun at all

RDT 8/104 Haaland VC taken. Not exactly doing myself any favours by benching Davis (16) over Welbeck (3) and trading in the latter and MGW (also 3).

 

[Gazza's Treats]

This is why you don't bet against Haaland unless you have a properly monster score lined up.

So now everybody will loop him I think I get it Thxs HM

RDT
Kept Havertz and dumped MGW

I think you were the only person to dump MGW. (Bottom right)

 

[vsberlina]

Hammers xGC is 3.4. They've conceded only 2. City might correct that imbalance.
But a Havertz goal and CS, would see him match a Haaland brace.
It's a coin toss, but when Haaland has scored 7 hat-tricks in his brief stint in the EPL, the fear is real.

Welbeck will get 3, Isak 15 this week.

However said Welbeck would get 3 pts was spot on, subbed

Looks like I got the Nostradamus Award this week.

Havertz with a CS was close to a Haaland brace, but Erling loves those hat-tricks.

If Haaland gets two hatties in a row, is that a Nelson Munz, "Haa-Haa", to all those that don't have him?

I think my homework also paid off on choosing between Winks vs Ndidi.
Winks not getting many misc pts and Ndidi getting the odd goal involvement.

THB vs Sugawara also paid off, but I benched him as he was away and I felt BRE would score a few.
THB luckily pulled on 55', or his extra point would have cost a -4 for the GC.

Welbeck vs Old Club meant he got a start, and Milenkovic @ home also had to start.
Just wasn't meant to be that Sugawara started in my team. Only 42 had him though, so still a cash cow differential.

200 traded out Davis this week, whilst only 22% started him, even though he was at home. Ouch!

 

[vsberlina]

Watkins off in the 61st. Nice to have him come down a bit before he gets the minutes up.

Declan Rice and Dias should be nice and cheaper too in a few weeks.
Nice of them to stagger their nadir for us.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

7/31 FPL Palmer
Backed against Haaland. Going to regret it...

6/94 RDT Haaland

 

[Dazza]

FPL
6/46 Haaland

Isak Gordon TAA Jota Fernandes to play

RDT
8/120 Haaland (Hopefully Captain Austin is nowhere to be seen)

Happy I fielded Davis over my 2 Newcastle defenders

Diaz TAA Palmer to play

 

[Connoisseur]

Currently deciding not to. Sorry Palmer. Maddison stays and currently Williams to replace Davis. Four mil to play with next round if the Newcastle defenders need fixing.

Can I have all my trades back?

Davis to Williams for -14 and may have fielded Sugawara over Davis instead.
Tielemans and Welbeck for 3 points.
Banked Havertz VC over Haaland as well given I was still awake once the opening match was finished.

8/83 with Maddison, TAA and Salah to come.

 

[T43597]

Changed the captaincy from haaland to Salah in Fantasy about an hour before lockout haha.

So im 5/25 but i took a hit to get Rogers this round (oops). 5/21 with Isak, Udogie, Salah (c), TAA, Eze & Henderson

RDT = 5(c)/91 with Livramento or Tonali, Salah, TAA, Diallo, Palmer & Henderson

Austin will be on the bench. Squeaky bum time for you.

We all have one (or six) of those weeks where everything just goes wrong.
But luck evens out, so I'm sure you'll have your week where everything goes right.

 

[Dazza]

Austin will be on the bench. Squeaky bum time for you.

Hopefully I see Forster, who was on bench in the there last EPL game, or it’s going to be a nervous time

 

[Hazardous Mata]

200 traded out Davis this week, whilst only 22% started him, even though he was at home. Ouch!

Trading him was seriously stupid. At his price not much to gain. I can sort of understand benching him, even though starting him this week (being at home and with such a good record of assists last year) made sense.

 

[Dazza]

Going to trade Muniz to Pedro in FPL

 

[Hazardous Mata]

THB

That's one Taylor that definitely isn't Swift.
