Yup, dammnit I just traded him haha. I dono the rules regarding traded players, scared my team might not register if I had him so let him go lol. Jakupovic or Steele perhaps... Steele could come on if Sanchez gets benched and stuff up ur loophole, and Jakupovic seems behind Ward so went him?

ok now I understand the queries over Havertz and Chelsea's fixture

Arsenal , Liverpool , Tottenham , Man City all in the first 6 rounds.

Just wondering why no interest at Pogba @ $ 6,820,000.00 , has he lost importance at Man U ?

(look at me go trying to be a "serious" player hahaha)

I had Pogba for part of last season and he was incredibly disappointing. I'm not going back there, even if he does well. Not sure about others reason for not selecting him.

Looks like his scores have dropped off the last 2 seasons , maybe coincides with Fernandes arrival.

Cheap though for what he could produce.

Plays a more attacking role for France than he does for ManU
Yep.

They want him to be someone he doesn't want to be. He has the ability to be one of the greats, but he's lazy.
That's why Sir Alex didn't give him a chance. He didn't show he deserved it.
Now that he's a WC winner, how do you tell him that he's ****? You can't. The ego has won.

Don't think Pogba is suited to that holding role. Thought he was going to turn into a world class player when I saw him playing at Juve off the Striker. Has bags of ability.

OK. I've had a much closer look at fixtures now. LEI & WHU are the two EPL teams in Europa next season, so they will be playing more later games, especially in weeks after a Europa game.
Most weeks they play almost at the same time, but WHU actually have a couple of weeks where they play later.
Now these fixtures are subject to change, but the bigger issue is that the cheapest WHU GK is 4.01m, as opposed to LEI GK @ 3.5m.

For sure. That's why they paid so much to get him back. He's got a big engine to go box to box, but he's just too lazy.
Pogba's physical ability with Soucek's mental ability = G.O.A.T.

Thanks for the info, I think id rather save the 500k.

Instead of whu gk could just ditch the loop option and hope raya/krul could make enough money to upgrade. But keeper positions dont seem to score very high, whats the ceiling like 8pts? How much money could u make from around 4m lol, dont think much at all. Looping with the cheapest option and saving some $ seems like the go for me.

12 was your basic CS and appearances game and it will be 10 this year . There will be a few 0's out there if they concede more than 1 goal, which is -2 per goal conceded. Will be tough for them with only 2 points coming for appearances.

Question regarding formations and non scoring players.

Can you only sub in a player in equivalent the position. Say you play a 5-2-3 (3 mids benched), and your striker ends up not playing...do you cop a zero or does the lowest scoring mid automatically get subbed in (changing your formation to 5-3-2.

Subs will only occur for the same position, so your striker won't be subbed off for a mid.
But you can change formation if one of your other strikers and a mid haven't played yet.
So that striker will then auto-sub on and you get to choose which mid comes in (if you have more than one mid that haven't kicked-off yet).

Seems there is a heavy investment in Vardy on here. Hopefully an incoming hatty
He's creating a bit of a headache on which two to captain. I feel Bruno and Mo are the ones to try because of overall ownership.
Hopefully Vardy as a differential is good enough to break from the pack, but tempting to give him a crack at the capt and move further ahead.
Of course the risk is that Bruno or Mo do well, and then you lose ground on the pack.
This early into the game, it's probably best to just stick with the peloton. Can take risks later if you need to.

Definitely will VC Bruno, unsure what I will do with the C yet

Bruno may put it to bed early
