Looks like someone already used a Wildcard in FPL. Big gains quick from it too. Well played

Think I made 6-7 transfers and decided to take a different approach and spend some more money in different spots. So far I’m glad I decided to use it now! Just have to hope I don’t need that wildcard later haha.

I’m taking the opposite approach. Work is so crazy right now I really don’t have time to do the research on players and really learn the rules and strategies, so hoping I can at least tread water till early October when I’ve got a little more time on my hands.

It’s a loooong season so plenty of time. Everyone gets two wildcards as well.. one before January transfer window and one after.

Ayyyy that’s awesome. Didn’t know he supports Chelsea.. unless he was just there and chose to cheer for the home team.

I remember he supported Chelsea back when he was playing at UT

I know we have asked this in the past but thought it would be a good time to ask again since it’s a new season and a lot of new people to the sport and Volnation. For some maybe they followed one team and dropped another.
Include any league or level of Club teams, National teams even NCAA, men’s, women's etc,

Which team or teams do you support?
How did you become a fan of your team or teams?

USMNT & USWNT
Arsenal Men (Had a gf that was a fan)
Gonna give Arsenal Women a shot this year after the excitement of watching England win the Euros.
Tennessee Soccer
Started following One Knox, will be better as they move up to the higher leagues, Knoxville is definitely soccer hungry.

Tournaments I love to watch
World Cup
Euros
Olympics if US is involved
Champions League

Don’t really watch any of the other leagues besides Premier League.

Have a friend in Brighton and Westham so hope they do well. Also Crystal Palace because of the former Arsenal player Patrick Vieira who is the manager.
Oh, and love to see Manchester United & City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs lose.

Wow Crystal Palace beating Liverpool 1-0 and now Darwin Nunez just got a red card. Not good for my fantasy but I don’t care, go Palace! Haha

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Lol as soon as I say that Diaz scores for Liverpool. At least that’s good for my Fantasy

 

[C/O]

Ref is letting them play, that’s for sure.

 

[C/O]

Sooooo does winless Liverpool play winless Man U next weekend? Thats not what many expected.

Gameweek 2 is in the books. @drvenner with a 98 point week!

Wish I had gone with my triple captain this week. I just wish Liverpool was playing better.

I had Jesus as my captain last week and got 4 points so I moved it to De Bruyne. That was successful but not nearly as successful as if I would have kept Jesus as captain. Triple captain would have been nuts!

 

[C/O]

Liverpool playing like they have is hurting me. I am trying to be patient and not blow the whole team up yet though.

I wouldn’t worry too much there. They will get going. I’ve got Dias and Nunez in my team too.

 

[drvenner]

I am using Salah and my triple captain this week. I am expecting Man U. to shut him down, LOL.

 

[MAD]

You guys are much better at this than I expected, gonna be a long season.
My strategy will be to continue to recruit players to our league so I’m not sitting in last place.

Googling different strategies helped me and was the reason I blew my team up and used my wildcard. Even things like the formation you play can be a strategy. Interesting stuff.

I have no idea what I am doing. One of my friends keeps telling me to get Haaland. I would probably have to give up DeBruyne to do that. Not sure that is the move I want to make. Although, this time last year, I could not have told you who either of these guys was.
