Yes, that’s the one disappointment for me. Swapped my Lanzini’s for Trossard’s yesterday afternoon.

Same. To be fair, all of Brighton's new signing are on the bench. Guess they'll be eased in. Annoying though.

Aye - point of enablers really is to stick them in and leave them to it. Being on the bench on day 1 is a shame, but not a disaster. If its still the case next week, that is when I start worrying! 😂

Won't panic transfer him out then. Mainly cos I am, inevitably, 0.1 sort of KWP!

Had him a few more teams before yesterday's last minute tinker so couldchave been worse.

Grealish caught in possession for the umpteenth time.

He ain’t as good as he thinks he is, young Jack.

He’s out of my Egg Cup tomorrow.

Kane again (Sissoko) 3-1

Deliberate use of the past tense Image

At least I have Salah and Sterling in all my teams and the door remover in most.

Hence the need of enablers....

Interesting start to the season, Kane, Sterling, Salah all off to flyers

Very interesting to see how many shots Liverpool allowed

If that continues, I might downgrade my liv defenders to squeeze Kane in somehow, already have the other two

I have the trinity. If any other premium players hit form, I'll just have hope those three are individually better than them.

The other two were stitch ons in FPL, being midfielders. There is (or was) always a possibility that they might not repeat last seasons heights but you might be persuaded to give them the benefit of the doubt and then you have plenty of funds to swap one or both of them out if they fail to fulfil their promise. They have both got off to a flying start which may or not last.

The Kane situation is an entirely different kettle of fish, being a forward. Because he is one of three and if you have the two midfielders in, realistically speaking, you have to pick only one of the three. They all have strong claims to a place in your team but no one of them more so than the other two at this point.
Kane has had a good opener with two but Augero managed one even though he didn't start the game for whatever reason, Aubameyang hasn't even put his boots on yet so it's really too early to pass judgement.

One thing is for sure none of them have anything to prove and any one of them could be next weeks biggest scorer but last weeks score will be an unreliable indicator as to which one it will be next week. You pays your money you takes your choice but if you restructure your whole team just to get one of them in, then don't be surprised when the other two go on a goalfest and your man sprains his ankle bringing in the milk.

I seem to have done all that thinking I was in the FPL forum. None the less some, or even most, of it still holds.

Hats off to Sandor. Many may deride him as a multi entrant who should expect to be up there but he is 1st and 2nd in the starting xi league.

Moderately happy with my best of 71 but he has a 92 and a 93. Nice work.

Assuming he only has 5 teams.....

Indeed. Looking at the big scorers and prices, he must have come close to picking the perfect permutation.

I also noticed Mahrez got 5 KCs.... :shock:
