Just went through the scores; I guess your team is George'sRetroRockets? If so, you're on 93!
I was tempted to play the triple Captain on Salah, though I will be honest he would have been my only choice if I did. TP will be saved for a double GW for certain, Kane is usually a slow starter so his points were a welcome bonus
Later in the season we'll have the benefits of double gameweeks too, which might be an advantage when playing the chips.
I plan to use my chips late on in the season, learnt my lesson from last year.
Next week's fixtures don't look great so I'll stick with my current side and let my free transfer roll over, assuming there are no injuries etc.
Leader of one of the leagues I am in has 124 points (Sterling Triple Captain)
Playing chips in double gameweeks looks good on paper, but it's not always a guarantee for big hauls. This is my third season now, and in the last two I think only a couple of them worked out the way I hoped, haha!
Tempted to use the free transfer personally, but next gameweek looks a bit more tricky to predict, so I might just hold.
Wow! Can't do much better than that!
I triple captained Agüero on double GW last season he got a Hatrick though did not feature the next game, still decent points in a crap first season for me :))
That's Pep for you! If triple captaining a City player in a double gameweek, it's not just the fixtures themselves to take into consideration, it's the players playing time in recent games, playing time in cups and playing time in CL. Many factors to consider!
Just looked at the current leader overall 142 points, when you see the line up wow!
That's hitting the gameweek 1 jackpot right there! Impressive.
I think it's too early, even if it's to find a spot for Sterling. Sp*rs up next for City, so it might not be the best time to bring him in. He could still do well against Sp*rs of course (I sure hope so!), but saving the transfer gives you the opportunity to get him with two or three transfers before Bournemouth away.
Changed my mind will wait until after GW2, I can bring Sterling in and get a 4.5 striker in with two free transfers, going to opt for 5 in midfield with one up front. All three of my bench players I have currently will get minutes so i can rotate them for the eleventh starting spot
That might be the way to do it! I prefer to play two or three strikers personally, but there's definitely a lot of value in a strong midfield.
Another advantage saving the transfer, is that you give yourself another gameweek to look at how the players perform; some players that got high scores this weekend might continue the same way next weekend, while others might not. Other options might present themselves too.
I want to get Martial in at some point he is technically a striker, I am short of 1 million to do that though I have a plan
After Sterling got the hat-trick I was jubilant !!
Then I realised he wasn't in this team,he was in my SKY FF team !!
At least Aub scored,and he is my captain.
B.Silva didn't play,and I don't think I can rely on him to play when it is costing me £8m.
I have taken him out and replaced him with a player who is a striker but EFL has him as a midfielder !
What a bonus,i can play him as well, without changing my front 3 !!
I'm tempted by Martial too, but as of now I'll wait with transfers. Might change my mind before next deadline though!
Out of position players can be a huge benefit in FPL!
And you know the player i'm referring too.
There are several out of position players, you know!
And here's how the league managed in gameweek 1. Notice that several of our teams had the same scores, and that 9 out of 18 teams managed to beat or equal the average points of the gameweek (65). The average was VERY high this gameweek.
After the shit performance of my team this week,dont I know it !!
Plenty of gameweeks to go, Barry! Lot's of points yet to be won ;-)
City players are problematic, Sterling will likely be the most certain starter out of the attackers.

@Torgeirtrap I need to keep reminding myself there will always be players you can't have in your squad.

Congratulations to George’sRetroRockets for topping this League in GW1.
Thanks go to @Torgeirtrap for the time and effort into this thread
Yes, it's impossible to find a spot for them all! With transfers and wildcards you're likely to have plenty of good players during the season.
One strategy is to tap into the best teams as best you can. Can't afford Kane – go Son (when available), etc.
I do whatever I can to make things interesting! If there are any suggestions on how to make things even more interesting, give me a shout!

Thanks for the link, no changes to players I am looking at so far thankfully
Looks like it's been quiet so far. There might be some price changes throughout the week though.
Didn't see this before now. Did you play the wildcard?
