Especially them signing a 40m fwd
affects welbeck not him really
slight xmins loss sure
this is expected
the front line anyway

Barco tho

first nomium team i've seen
Could backfire as I need the occasional spike performance. Palmer pick is definitely a riskier one but I trust the quality of a player over the manager concerns

Mitoma to just continue being the best asset
latent depot
Minteh was just concussion, right?
zenith jolt
anyway im happy with jp as an asset for now
did well today in his hardest game i plan having him for
slim bane
Minteh was just concussion, right?
Yea
latent depot
well, not "just" concussion, I mean "just precautionary concussion protocol", concussion is no joke obv, but good to know he isn't injured
prime plinth
first nomium team i've seen
Was basically thinking. Bet on Quansah+Palmer over 7. Or Gordon + Trent
latent depot
so he misses GW2, back for GW3, possibly in my team GW4-5
prime plinth
Bad start but I thought the logic was fine
It could've been Son but I didn't want to have to make that transfer later
cerulean cape
He was

if he played well and kept his spot, you have a 4.5 liv def with those fix
but now i see konate taking the starts

Realised I could’ve run raya porro over Pickford Saliba

unlucky is fine, still was 6th best Liverpool pick IMO

Fucks sake

Have .5 itb. Main mess up was probably keeping Greaves instead of adding a hall or someone like that
cerulean cape
Realised I could’ve run raya porro over Pickford Saliba
You are not picking raya lol
latent depot
Raya was reasonable once you realise Saliba is luxury Raya

if i went for ars def i probably wouldve gone raya

Watkins blank 
prime plinth
unlucky is fine, still was 6th best Liverpool pick IMO
Idk long term I still wasn't sure about the more expensive ones for a higher price to punt on
slim bane
I didn’t think we’d give up so many chances for him to make saves
prime plinth
Like a Diaz and Jota
slim bane
Not that confident in the double defence anymore
cerulean cape
Watkins being nearly 40% owned and blanking is nice
prime plinth
Szoboszlai and Trent. Probably right
cerulean cape
8.8m by gw3/4 🤔

Gordon could drop, a lot of people want Jota

barco 3.9 and quansah 4.4 is really bad for me
Who could we move Quansah to that actually feels like a reasonable move. Seems rough. Might just take the hit
Hopefully Saka or Salah go up
cedar hull
Quansah to robinson if you dont have him
zenith jolt
Quansah to robinson if you dont have him
this transfer is perfect for my team aswell i need to heavily consider it

And greaves

but i need to do it before the drop

And this is why players drop

it turns my def from

Disagree actually

quansah 11300 transfers out already

cerulean cape
Loads of casuals early on, they don't care about using transfers
cerulean cape
quansah 11300 transfers out already
He was owned by like 400k+
zenith jolt
casuals probably dont have quansah though
cerulean cape
So 2.5% drop atm
zenith jolt
he's more of an engaged pick
i could be underestimating the power of people blindly following content creators there i guess
prime plinth
Damn
latent depot
casuals probably dont have quansah though
a lot depends on whether content creators say they're transferring out or not
zenith jolt
He gained 350k owners since Sunday
me included

They will say but won't do it
That'd be a hot thumbnail and talking point
And bruno to jota

That'd be a hot thumbnail and talking point

No Trent for the next few gws will be fun

isn't Palace in the market for Gosens?

Not worth the risk

Taking a note, never captain non premium options

Reaching 80s is not bad who don't have Haaland

there's an over-abundance of good assets. the top 6-7 attacks in the league were really good

not really

we won't fully know til gw2 anyway
that's the big one

I dodged so many bullets ngl
Muniz, Odegaard, Pickford, Myko
They were all in my team in the last few days before DL
Tucked my tail in and got Raya and Saliba which was a good move for long term defence
Just need to work on my captaincy picks
latent depot
so you think they're in a relegation fight then
lavish parcel
Kinda
Wolves, Everton, Fulham, Bou and Forest will be so close at the end of season
latent depot
tbf there are 12 teams who will be fine, and 5 where I wouldn't be surprised if any of them finish 17th
wouldn't put Bournemouth in there tho

solid coach, underrated, good pressing team, they'll spend the solanke money
should/could have won vs Forest, who prob have better squad

not everyone that follows analytics just blindly copies a model lol

literally what I said
zenith jolt
yeah my fault i thought it said 'some of them'
also don't agree that combined ownership is analytics managers
coincidentally it is also andy, jonas and bakar's exact team
will be casuals copying in the masses
latent depot
there will be a preponderance of them, but agreed, people will converge on obvious assets
there's only a certain number of viable permutations

engaged managers are only a small proportion of the playerbase but i agree

granted you can never have perfect variance but there’s a reason jonas won last year when he followed the optimal chip strat + got in jackson right before his burst of reverting to the average

they tried something with 5 fts and the 'mystery chip'

engaged managers are only a small proportion of the playerbase but i agree
i don’t think we see another casual manager win again

na, too much variance to be "optimised", you're going to get a random who doesn't use analytics winning it every year

100% but it’s an input that should get more weighting than others
