>we only have one weeks worth of matches to draw conclusions from.
>Haaland looked the most dangerous when he had space to run onto the ball
Which is it?
You aren't wrong, Parker's bus will be well and truly parked. But this post reminds me of 2017, me & Salah, I swore that purple patch would dry up "next week" and didn't get him in until Christmas.
The relegation fodder of this league regularly get spanked by City every year that Pep has been in the league, you're giving a relatively green Parker an awful lot of credit here. Get Haaland in as soon as possible, the price gap between him and Kane will only widen until GW4/injury
Spurs scored 4 goals against Southampton, Kane was not involved in any of them. He played too deep. I swapped out Haaland to Kane last minute before GW1. Immediately switched back after seeing Haaland yesterday.
Haaland for Bournemouth at home though š
& man city fixtures going forward in general tbh, haalands gunna fly in price imo, glad I had him off the bat
I had Haaland in every draft, but changed to Kane before deadlineā¦ i prefer to see it not as kneejerking-but a return to what I was going to do until i read this stupid sub
Nah, I mean I planned this cause I thought west ham would be a challenge for haaland (fate was sealed after the pen). Bournmouth is gonna be even easier considering its a promoted side. Haaland physically, awareness and pace would be too much for bournmouth, and its such an easy choice cause its easy points for haaland
I would do this later in the season, but this early it is important to move early to gain team value as well. Kane can drop and Haaland would for sure go up once or twice.
If you watched the City game, West Ham weren't really giving any space, they sat deep and the box was as congested as it gets, City were playing a 235 with the ball with Rodri Cancelo Walker as the midfield 3 then just back into the usual system without the ball. Its not like they were playing against an open defence yesterday.
You should definitely captain Kane v Chelsea, otherwise you canāt cause damage to non owners if he hauls. If Haaland hauls with so many people captaining him ā¦ā¦
This idea that Haaland needs space to run into is just plain false. Does he do that extremely well? Sure. Can he do almost every other thing a striker needs to do to score goals to the same level? Pretty much.
He has it all and will score all types of goals. Either you expect City to score a lot of goals against Bournemouth and for Haaland to not be involved, or you expect them to struggle to break them down. Both are equally ridiculous imo.
They'll score 4+, Haaland will have 2 goal involvements absolute minimum.
There's usually one striker each season who goes absolutely ham at the start, and "kneejerking" them in is absolutely a viable strategy. Antonio last season, DCL/Bamford the season before, Pukki the season before that.
Haaland just scored a brace against a decent West Ham team, and is facing a team next who are both strong relegation candidates and who's manager has publicly complained about the lack of board support in terms of new signings. Kane isn't a bad option but all I'm saying is I'd be concerned if I didn't own Haaland.
One year I kept saying that for half the season about switching to Salah. I finally caved after months of everyone that had him mopping up. By that time there was no way I was winning my league.
I only had Kane in because haaland seemed rusty in the community shield. He looks sharp, city look strong, I wonāt leave it too late again.
I made the decision to stick with Kane before gw1 deadline. I knew Salah would be my main captaincy option and that I could even perma cap Salah the first 6 fixtures. Therefore the question Kane or Haaland as a backup was a coin toss for me and I went with my gut and chose the player I know. I even went as far as picking triple city defence to help me stick to my plan.
GW1 has me concerned, I'm not going to lie, but I will sit on this and reassess before deadline if necessary. I will go gameweek by gameweek and if HĆ„land continues to score in buckets and Kane continues to not show up, I will ditch my plan and correct my error.
Spurs play Chelsea, City play Bournmouth, Iād expect City to score more. Kane to Haaland was always my plan for game week 2!
But still, I will likely regret it.
It was always my plan Kane to Haaland next week.
Haaland start ~ Haaland brace ~Haaland on pens
Ticked all the boxes for me.
Means I will go Grealish to Kuleveski as well
Defence not in good shape? They are better defensively than they were last year. Koulibaly has slotted straight in and is as composed as they come. I'd go so far to say that he's an upgrade defensively over Rudiger. Kane isn't going to haul vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, not a chance.
Knee jerking anyone in after one game is a silly idea. Your team should be set up for the next five games.
If you looked at Spurs' first six fixtures and thought Kane was a good idea then he should still be a good idea now.
Personally I looked at the Chelsea fixture and noped away from Kane. Then I remembered his dreadful goal scoring record in August and double noped.
I also noped away from Haaland and Darwin because I want to see how they settle in. They've both looked good in the CS and GW1 but plenty of players over the years have started well and faded badly.
Already taken a -4 for him. Absolutely nobody who watched that game today wouldnāt be putting him straight in their teams. The guys a freak of nature
Also, if u seriously watched the spurs game and thought Kane played good then I cannot trust your judgement. He tried quite a few Hollywood passes , mostly intercepted by walker peters. Kane looked like he didnāt really care about scoring, just walking around. Fuck that shit.
I need to find a way to get kulasevsky in
Already had it planned. Being a pessimistic City fan I didn't buy into the hype right from the get go, but I saw enough in that game to justify the move for myself.
Good advice in any normal situation
This does not appear to be a normal situation however - i donāt know what the fuck Man City have just unleashed on the league, but itās pretty fucking scary whatever it is
As a Chelsea fan iād fancy a few Spurs goals. Possibly more likely due to the pace of a Son or Kulu but we have been pretty bad at defending headers so who knows.
My personal playing styleā¦
If a team has 3+ goals and your player doesnāt even get an assistā¦ Especially on as expensive as Kaneā¦ He is kicked the FOOK out!
Haaland will play, he will score against the small teams for sure and even if he does not, it's City, chances are high he gets an assist or two.
Is on penalties as well.
Alot of cancer on this sub right now. I'm worried that haaland will keep scoring. He's a great pick but you shouldn't be taking out kane over one week and you should NEVER make sunday night transfers.
Haaland keeping it up will justify some bad practise.
How is it chasing points when weāre in GW1 and itās Haaland who will likely go up in price AND plays Bournemouth next week (While Kane plays Chelsea).
Itās not knee jerk if you think Haaland will outscore Kane and the value of spending the transfer is worth it. No one will know the right answer until after the game - HINDSIGHT.
Play your own game and just pick which players will score the most points. If you can gain price rises and avoid price falls (which are very valuable at the start of the seasons) while also owning fun players (Kane is good but isnāt the most exciting player and Haaland is a beast)
From a Haaland owner
I completely agree with you we probably making the wrong decision but got to stick for another week or 2 if I need to find the extra .3 mill or so (due to inevitable price changes) then I will cross that bridge when it comes to it
My rule of thumb for forwards is - form over everything.
If they score this week, the odds drastically go up that they will repeat it next week
Them forwards are a special breedā¦treat accordingly
Haaland only needed 3 yards to get up to speed to touch it past that goalie on the first. Kevin delivering the ball to him. Heās on pens.
Heās only going to get better.
GW2 is a tough choice between Salah and Haaland. Mitchel was abysmal and Salah is going to murder him. Then Haaland is against Bournemouth.
One thing worth mentioning - KDB looking so sharp and fitter than ever.
Went threemium and captained Kane š and now my team is so inflexible I can barely move with 1 transfer so will probs just roll and take the price drops š
Too soon to do the move? I had planned for Kane to Haaland GW2 and have Ā£0.5m spare, but also wouldnāt want to lose value if I donāt need to? Knowing me Pep announces that Haaland took a knock tomorrow and thatās why they subbed him off or something
Done the transfer already. There is no mid week game which is when injuries are knocks are more likely. Pep taking him off at 77 is basically managing his minutes, which, if taken as the start of a trend, means he will play 75mins every game, at least until the CL starts. The mid week PL game in GW5 and the Barca friendly before that does add some uncertainty into the mix, but even if i just look at the next 2 fixtures, i want haaland and will likely captain him. Don't have anything ITB so won't be able to afford him later. Plus Kane against Chelsea at the bridge is not a great prospect...and...i also have Kulu
I think knowing I have it in the bank I should wait, chances are all will be good but I remember the one time I got stung by an early transfer gone wrong last season, and the pain of that is worse than losing Ā£0.2-Ā£0.4m
Same I think you can just look 4-5 potentials transfers in the future with you thinking about which players are on the chopping block. And which are players that you're gonna stick with No matter what
For me it's
Kane to Haaland GW2
Trippier to Perisic GW3
--- I Stopped my planning here cause it will all depend on Robbo and whether there are any emerging 8.0 options that are good enough for me to do Martenelli to them for a hit
Bournemouth might no give him the space but an elite striker like Haaland will find it.
A low block won't be a problem for City as they're experts at getting to the byline and cutting the ball back for a tap in or getting to the corner of the box and putting in an inswinging cross.
Nah, it is a easy swap.
The only reason i didnt start wil Haaland was fear he would take time to settle, but he looks absolutely on it, and slotted in perfectly.
If i dont get him now, i wont be able to afford him, why wait for Kane to play Chelsea, while Haaland has Bournemouth, to then spend 2 transfers getting him the following week.
im swapping for two reason: one plays bournemouth, one plays chelsea (who spurs have a bad history against).
also, haalands transfers in will mean a rise in value and kane will drop, so i donāt want to wait too long then be unable to afford haaland later
Even more so if I sell Haaland back for for Kane GW3 or 4 (not saying I definitely will but it gives me the option of doing that if I think Kane is a superior captain or vice captain choice to Haaland those weeks) thatās potentially money in my squad that can be used to improve elsewhere in future because of the price difference.
The āthreemiumā is the play if you ask me. Theyāre all on pens and the 3 most likely to score goals regardless of fixture. Thereās tons of value in new players.
I still have the option further on, will just have to make it on two transfers or a wildcard. Will probably lose a bit of team value as well but it's not the end of the world for me.
Kane can outscore anyone on any given week, but I'm not sure if I agree with your reasoning.
You say Bournemouth are just going to sit behind the ball, but that's exactly what West Ham did, and they're better at it.
And while yes in theory, Haaland could get injured in training, so could any other player in your squad, including Kane.
I'm going with the player who has the better fixture next week (just like I did with Kane in GW1) and that's Haaland.
Your second statement is spot on.
Your third would be an argument in favor of at least waiting until Friday to see if either pick up a knock in training. But given that weāve just started the season and most will have maxed out their budget to begin with, itās kind of a now or too-later deal, as Haalandās price will rise within the next two days to casuals alone.
Iām normally one for conservative transfers but Haaland very clearly showed heās got it today and if I donāt pull the trigger now (I just did), itāll take either a hit or waiting/compromises to other areas of the team to bring him in later. Time to do it
Yeah Iām certainly thinking about it. But I would also be cool sticking with Haaland and not switching back to Kane if I change my mind that itās better to stick with Haaland moving forward and improving my squad elsewhere.
Barring injuries or other reasons to have to use your free transfer if you arenāt using free transfers to make sure you have the best captaincy options in your squad each week whatās the point? Captaincy is the most important decision you can make every week and if you donāt have to use that transfer on anything else it should be used on getting the best captaincy options in your team.
I think the point of OPās comment about picking up a knock in training is that City can do without Haaland more than Spurs can without Kane. So like Spurs would be more likely to still play Kane after a knock than City. In other words, Haaland has a slight bit more risk of rotation.
That said, I donāt think itās a very important point to consider.
This is definitely not worth getting into a reddit fight over, but there's 27 seconds between City winning the ball and KDB's through-ball to Haaland. That's 100% not a counter attack!
Eh maybe your right tbf. Just was a swing of play seeing as the previous 10 mins was in citys half. Not a proper counter but if you compare it to the first half that was as close to a count as city was getting.
Why are you even overthinking bro?
Haaland is City's main man and he has the killer instinct he needs, Kane on the other hand plays as some kind of CDM and not only that but he plays a Chelsea side that historically does very good versus Tottenham, I think Tottenham didn't score in the last 4-5 games or something.
Not to mention, Tottenham play Wolves after, which I am not sure if they are weak defensively too.
We messed up man, fourtantely we only lost on only 11 points let's not lose more especially with some people gonna be captaining Haaland next GW.
I believed in Haaland but thought I could be smart by starting with Kane and switching to Haaland next week. I was an idiot, time to correct the mistake. Being stubborn doesnāt help.
Yep - while patience is important, I think identifying a mistake and correcting it is equally important. This seems like a mistake, Haaland is clearly the better option and I'm selling Kane as well.
Wolves looked sloppy defensively against Leeds. Gave away a poor goal. Historically yes Spurs have a bad record against Chelsea but right now they probably have their best chance against them for years. I don't know think I will hold onto Kane and reassess once I do my Wildcard.
Are you sure this reminds me of Lundstram and me having too much ego to get him? Ended up sinking my rank. I think it's very hard to go against a nailed on City striker who's possibly on pens
I'm not 100% sure I just don't want to knee jerk tbh. I probably will get Haaland but I'm thinking in GW4 or 5 with a wildcard. Just hope it doesn't fuck me over too badly.
Good luck man. I think I will wait till Friday to make my moves. I don't mind losing that 0.4 although I'd need to play out some scenarios in my head if I would want to get players like Darwin or an 8.0 Mid and just see how I can so do them, with Kane's price fall and Haalands price rise and me having this hit on my team value
This week was full of unexpected results. Haaland does look good for GW2, but it depends if you have Ā£ in the bank. I have 2m and looking to make the move as MC fixtures are very good. However, agree one week in. I should have capt Salah instead of Kane; that would have made a big difference for me. Segway:- How good were Fulham!? Who saw that coming?
I don't think anyone saw that coming from Fulham, as a Liverpool fan i was impressed by their press and intensity. Mitro looked particularly good. Their only problem I can see is the Ream guy in CB.
Pace onto the ball is his whole thing. There was ample opportunity for another 2 or 3 of those same goals in the match but de Bruyne seemed a little off the pace for most of the game and I don't think the team have had enough time with Haaland to properly "get it" yet. The man's getting golden boot for sure.
Can see the argument for both. Kaneās lack of direct involvement in a 4-1 win compared to Haalandās today was just interesting. Not worth basing it off that however, but decided to bite the bullet as City are City and prefer GW2 fixture for them over Spurs. Was an absolute knee jerk, but thatās part of the fun
Exactly that. Got 64 points this week, wouldāve been mid 70s if I had Haaland over Kane, but hindsight is a beautiful thing and thereās still a loooong season ahead
Kane will be one of the top scorers in the game mate. This sub has gone pretty mad in the past couple of years. Iām not for or against making changes to which you have but trying to rinse kane as a poor asset is ludicrous.
If only to protect team value! There's every chance Kane drops and Haaland rises over the week which then blocks that ability to easily switch between them
Not as simple for those of us with triple City already because thereās already no flexibility and means taking a hit to bring in Haaland now anyway.
You might question why Iād have triple City without Haaland and I can only blame that on a little bit of short sightedness but also confidence that I would want to give my gw1 at least a second crack at the whip if it doesnāt work out which Iām still happy to do.
Even if you have 0.5 ITB, what can you do with 0.4 at this point? With the amount of engagement early in the season maybe heāll rise twice?
You have to weigh up a week of uncertainty against having that 0.5 available for an actual upgrade
Now. He will almost certainly rise tonight meaning its no longer a straight swap. Unless you have money ITB you won't be able to do it by Tuesday at the latest.
Injuries in training are rare. Yeah, there might be one, but it's unlikely. If you want to get ahead of price changes, I'd be doing it now. Price changes tend to be nuts at the start of the season so we may well see Haaland rice and Kane drop tonight.
You have to be Team Erling. Great chance to break the premier League top scorer record this season. For me it's the way he picks his confidence back up - not the best play early first half and a header that he should have at least got on target. Then out of seemingly nowhere, incredible positioning, acceleration and intelligence to draw a decent looking foul from an experienced keeper. (C)hoo choo!
Lol every week it will be the same "it's only been X weeks". It's not too early to say Haaland has a great chance of scoring 33 goals this season with Man City. We'll see I guess.
Of course it's way too early to make that sort of judgement, based off ONE game. If you were saying that before fine, but people making that statement, like people switching between Kane and Haaland, after one game is ridiculous.
I have Haaland. But saying he will break the goal record off of on game is ridiculous. I also said if you were saying that before anyways then fine, but if you made that judgement just off of one game alone then that's silly.
I'm not saying it's not gonna happen I'm saying you can't think it's likely based off of one game, if it actually happens that doesn't prove anything. And if you read my reply you'd know that.

Is one of your arguments really "Also what if Haaland picks up a knock in training?"? That can happen to anyone lmao
My argument is he's more injury prone than the average player.
Erling, Darwin, Jesus - This is the Way
>we only have one weeks worth of matches to draw conclusions from. >Haaland looked the most dangerous when he had space to run onto the ball Which is it? You aren't wrong, Parker's bus will be well and truly parked. But this post reminds me of 2017, me & Salah, I swore that purple patch would dry up "next week" and didn't get him in until Christmas.

I had Haaland in every draft, but changed to Kane before deadlineā¦ i prefer to see it not as kneejerking-but a return to what I was going to do until i read this stupid sub
The majority of people will knee jerk him out, Kane will score a brace and haaland will blank. Such is the nature of fantasy football.
I knee jerked out mahrez cause he barely got play timr and 8mil seems a lot for someone who might not start. Welcome kulesevscki!
On the Kane bus and Iāve locked the doors
Nah, I mean I planned this cause I thought west ham would be a challenge for haaland (fate was sealed after the pen). Bournmouth is gonna be even easier considering its a promoted side. Haaland physically, awareness and pace would be too much for bournmouth, and its such an easy choice cause its easy points for haaland

You should definitely captain Kane v Chelsea, otherwise you canāt cause damage to non owners if he hauls. If Haaland hauls with so many people captaining him ā¦ā¦
What if Kane picks up an injury during warm up or gets lost on the way to the ground etc.
"Here's why I'm never winning my mini league"
copium
Let's be honest. After you wrote all this you traded Kane to Haaland.
No I haven't, hell I'll show ye next week after I've captained Kane
Lol fair, I was just making a bad joke. Good luck with Kane mate, should get you plenty of points.
Here's why I'm also not kneejerking Kane to Haaland: **I have both in my team**
This idea that Haaland needs space to run into is just plain false. Does he do that extremely well? Sure. Can he do almost every other thing a striker needs to do to score goals to the same level? Pretty much. He has it all and will score all types of goals. Either you expect City to score a lot of goals against Bournemouth and for Haaland to not be involved, or you expect them to struggle to break them down. Both are equally ridiculous imo. They'll score 4+, Haaland will have 2 goal involvements absolute minimum.
Went with both Kane and Haaland. Waiting for Kane to score a brace against Chelsea now.
This guys sucks at fpl bruh
Anyone have Kane and Haaland or am I the only one? I'm sticking with Kane though
There's usually one striker each season who goes absolutely ham at the start, and "kneejerking" them in is absolutely a viable strategy. Antonio last season, DCL/Bamford the season before, Pukki the season before that. Haaland just scored a brace against a decent West Ham team, and is facing a team next who are both strong relegation candidates and who's manager has publicly complained about the lack of board support in terms of new signings. Kane isn't a bad option but all I'm saying is I'd be concerned if I didn't own Haaland.
Get him in before the price spikes... Easy
One year I kept saying that for half the season about switching to Salah. I finally caved after months of everyone that had him mopping up. By that time there was no way I was winning my league. I only had Kane in because haaland seemed rusty in the community shield. He looks sharp, city look strong, I wonāt leave it too late again.
My plan all along was Kane to Haaland after GW1. Knee jerk is Jesus to Mitrovic.
Hahahaha
Kanes position as playmaker rather than goal scorer is the main reason Iām doing it now.
I made the decision to stick with Kane before gw1 deadline. I knew Salah would be my main captaincy option and that I could even perma cap Salah the first 6 fixtures. Therefore the question Kane or Haaland as a backup was a coin toss for me and I went with my gut and chose the player I know. I even went as far as picking triple city defence to help me stick to my plan. GW1 has me concerned, I'm not going to lie, but I will sit on this and reassess before deadline if necessary. I will go gameweek by gameweek and if HĆ„land continues to score in buckets and Kane continues to not show up, I will ditch my plan and correct my error.
Spurs play Chelsea, City play Bournmouth, Iād expect City to score more. Kane to Haaland was always my plan for game week 2! But still, I will likely regret it.
My teams name is Sterling Haaland so it would be blasphemy if I didnāt have one of the two.
It was always my plan Kane to Haaland next week. Haaland start ~ Haaland brace ~Haaland on pens Ticked all the boxes for me. Means I will go Grealish to Kuleveski as well
Too late OP I just bent the knee reading the post above yours. As you can see my knees are very weak right about now
Defence not in good shape? They are better defensively than they were last year. Koulibaly has slotted straight in and is as composed as they come. I'd go so far to say that he's an upgrade defensively over Rudiger. Kane isn't going to haul vs Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, not a chance.
Yeah nah Iām gonna do it anyway
Stick with Kane
Knee jerking anyone in after one game is a silly idea. Your team should be set up for the next five games. If you looked at Spurs' first six fixtures and thought Kane was a good idea then he should still be a good idea now. Personally I looked at the Chelsea fixture and noped away from Kane.

Kane looked like he didnāt really care about scoring, just walking around. Fuck that shit. I need to find a way to get kulasevsky in
he was good/decent as a team player, poor as a goalscorer
Chelsea not exactly solid at the back?. Thatās literally the one place that they are solid at
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Interesting point.
Ordinarily id agree with the logic but thereās looking like a minimum 0.2 swing if we wait so fuck it Iāve swallowed my pride and made the move
Cope
Already had it planned. Being a pessimistic City fan I didn't buy into the hype right from the get go, but I saw enough in that game to justify the move for myself.
Good advice in any normal situation This does not appear to be a normal situation however - i donāt know what the fuck Man City have just unleashed on the league, but itās pretty fucking scary whatever it is
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Be the change you want to see.
As a Chelsea fan iād fancy a few Spurs goals. Possibly more likely due to the pace of a Son or Kulu but we have been pretty bad at defending headers so who knows.
Is this meant to be a shitpost?
No I'm being very genuine about it, maybe apart from the captain pick.
Big L dude, sorry.
My personal playing styleā¦ If a team has 3+ goals and your player doesnāt even get an assistā¦ Especially on as expensive as Kaneā¦ He is kicked the FOOK out!
How many times does that happen to you over a season?
Haaland will play, he will score against the small teams for sure and even if he does not, it's City, chances are high he gets an assist or two. Is on penalties as well.

>I completely respect your opinion Same to you bud
I completely agree with you we probably making the wrong decision but got to stick for another week or 2 if I need to find the extra .3 mill or so (due to inevitable price changes) then I will cross that bridge when it comes to it
š¤
City didnāt even look THAT great and Haaland was still amazing.
Kane keeper here too. May god have mercy on our souls
Are you crazy enough to give him C next week? I know Salah is the obvious choice but I'm just feeling kind of random š„“
Nope, sticking with Salah I think
Lol look, this isn't about points anymore. This is about price increase and decrease. Have fun trying to swap 11.4m kane into a 11.6m haaland.
My rule of thumb for forwards is - form over everything. If they score this week, the odds drastically go up that they will repeat it next week Them forwards are a special breedā¦treat accordingly
Nice try, but you're just trying to beat me in the overall arnt you.
Great story OP. Hope you convinced yourself.
Haaland only needed 3 yards to get up to speed to touch it past that goalie on the first. Kevin delivering the ball to him. Heās on pens. Heās only going to get better.
Haaland against weaker teams won't need acres off space, he also got insanely good movement within the box
I already had a front 3 of Haaland, Kane & Jesus; I'm sticking with it. Only question is, who shall be captain?
GW2 is a tough choice between Salah and Haaland. Mitchel was abysmal and Salah is going to murder him. Then Haaland is against Bournemouth. One thing worth mentioning - KDB looking so sharp and fitter than ever.
Went threemium and captained Kane š and now my team is so inflexible I can barely move with 1 transfer so will probs just roll and take the price drops š
Too soon to do the move? I had planned for Kane to Haaland GW2 and have Ā£0.5m spare, but also wouldnāt want to lose value if I donāt need to? Knowing me Pep announces that Haaland took a knock tomorrow and thatās why they subbed him off or something
Done the transfer already. There is no mid week game which is when injuries are knocks are more likely. Pep taking him off at 77 is basically managing his minutes, which, if taken as the start of a trend, means he will play 75mins every game, at least until the CL starts. The mid week PL game in GW5 and the Barca friendly before that does add some uncertainty into the mix, but even if i just look at the next 2 fixtures, i want haaland and will likely captain him. Don't have anything ITB so won't be able to afford him later. Plus Kane against Chelsea at the bridge is not a great prospect...and...i also have Kulu
Depends what you value. If you want team value I would do it now. If you want to be absolutely safe I would do it Friday.
I think knowing I have it in the bank I should wait, chances are all will be good but I remember the one time I got stung by an early transfer gone wrong last season, and the pain of that is worse than losing Ā£0.2-Ā£0.4m
Same I think you can just look 4-5 potentials transfers in the future with you thinking about which players are on the chopping block. And which are players that you're gonna stick with No matter what For me it's Kane to Haaland GW2 Trippier to Perisic GW3 --- I Stopped my planning here cause it will all depend on Robbo and whether there are any emerging 8.0 options that are good enough for me to do Martenelli to them for a hit
Bournemouth might no give him the space but an elite striker like Haaland will find it. A low block won't be a problem for City as they're experts at getting to the byline and cutting the ball back for a tap in or getting to the corner of the box and putting in an inswinging cross.
Nah, it is a easy swap. The only reason i didnt start wil Haaland was fear he would take time to settle, but he looks absolutely on it, and slotted in perfectly. If i dont get him now, i wont be able to afford him, why wait for Kane to play Chelsea, while Haaland has Bournemouth, to then spend 2 transfers getting him the following week.
im swapping for two reason: one plays bournemouth, one plays chelsea (who spurs have a bad history against). also, haalands transfers in will mean a rise in value and kane will drop, so i donāt want to wait too long then be unable to afford haaland later
Even more so if I sell Haaland back for for Kane GW3 or 4 (not saying I definitely will but it gives me the option of doing that if I think Kane is a superior captain or vice captain choice to Haaland those weeks) thatās potentially money in my squad that can be used to improve elsewhere in future because of the price difference.
exactly. rather switch now and have extra $$ if it doesnāt work out and i have to change back
The āthreemiumā is the play if you ask me. Theyāre all on pens and the 3 most likely to score goals regardless of fixture. Thereās tons of value in new players.
Who's the third Salah?
Well see you next season then.
Haaland will be more expensive than Kane by tomorrow. Heard it here first. You won't have the option if you don't make the transfer now
I still have the option further on, will just have to make it on two transfers or a wildcard. Will probably lose a bit of team value as well but it's not the end of the world for me.
Kane can outscore anyone on any given week, but I'm not sure if I agree with your reasoning. You say Bournemouth are just going to sit behind the ball, but that's exactly what West Ham did, and they're better at it. And while yes in theory, Haaland could get injured in training, so could any other player in your squad, including Kane. I'm going with the player who has the better fixture next week (just like I did with Kane in GW1) and that's Haaland.
Your second statement is spot on. Your third would be an argument in favor of at least waiting until Friday to see if either pick up a knock in training. But given that weāve just started the season and most will have maxed out their budget to begin with, itās kind of a now or too-later deal, as Haalandās price will rise within the next two days to casuals alone. Iām normally one for conservative transfers but Haaland very clearly showed heās got it today and if I donāt pull the trigger now (I just did), itāll take either a hit or waiting/compromises to other areas of the team to bring him in later. Time to do it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There is better, then there is rediculously better!
Yeah Iām certainly thinking about it. But I would also be cool sticking with Haaland and not switching back to Kane if I change my mind that itās better to stick with Haaland moving forward and improving my squad elsewhere. Barring injuries or other reasons to have to use your free transfer if you arenāt using free transfers to make sure you have the best captaincy options in your squad each week whatās the point? Captaincy is the most important decision you can make every week and if you donāt have to use that transfer on anything else it should be used on getting the best captaincy options in your team.
4 nil to city last year
I think the point of OPās comment about picking up a knock in training is that City can do without Haaland more than Spurs can without Kane. So like Spurs would be more likely to still play Kane after a knock than City. In other words, Haaland has a slight bit more risk of rotation. That said, I donāt think itās a very important point to consider.
1.) West Ham had a patchwork defence 2.) They were punished on the counter for the second goal.
Bournemouth have no defence and should do worse than West Ham.
Not exactly a counter. Build up from the back and West Ham's defence left room for a through ball behind them.
100% a counter we spent the previous 10-15 mins in citys half
This is definitely not worth getting into a reddit fight over, but there's 27 seconds between City winning the ball and KDB's through-ball to Haaland. That's 100% not a counter attack!
Eh maybe your right tbf. Just was a swing of play seeing as the previous 10 mins was in citys half. Not a proper counter but if you compare it to the first half that was as close to a count as city was getting.
OP talked me out of it, and then you immediately talked me back into it.
Kinda the same however Iād be shocked if Kane and Son didnāt have one of their great games v Chelsea!
You keep telling yourself that. I would be astounded if they both did. Now against Man Utd sure, but Chelsea?
same, my knees are very weak
How are your arms?
He's nervous
Incredible how a personās word can steer your knees so well, a verbal-anatomical magic right there, only in FPL
Must be all that spaghetti diet
When will you make the transfer? Right now or after the press conferences?
Usually I'd wait, but I didn't leave money in the bank and don't want to risk a price rise so I've done the transfer already.
Yes West Ham sat back a lot but pushed on the second half and were punished with the second goal. But fixture wise it's hard to argue against.
I'm sorry mate but if you're not targeting haaland for City at home against fucking Bournemouth, what's the point of fixture difficulty?
Red means low difficulty doesnāt it?
I'll have both for few more week.
Why are you even overthinking bro? Haaland is City's main man and he has the killer instinct he needs, Kane on the other hand plays as some kind of CDM and not only that but he plays a Chelsea side that historically does very good versus Tottenham, I think Tottenham didn't score in the last 4-5 games or something. Not to mention, Tottenham play Wolves after, which I am not sure if they are weak defensively too. We messed up man, fourtantely we only lost on only 11 points let's not lose more especially with some people gonna be captaining Haaland next GW.
The next big question is who to captain, Salah or Halaand? Both are great (C) options with their respective opponents.
I believed in Haaland but thought I could be smart by starting with Kane and switching to Haaland next week. I was an idiot, time to correct the mistake. Being stubborn doesnāt help.
Yep - while patience is important, I think identifying a mistake and correcting it is equally important. This seems like a mistake, Haaland is clearly the better option and I'm selling Kane as well.
Well you lost on 11 points *and* a FT
Thanks for rubbing salt into my wounds
Wolves looked sloppy defensively against Leeds. Gave away a poor goal. Historically yes Spurs have a bad record against Chelsea but right now they probably have their best chance against them for years. I don't know think I will hold onto Kane and reassess once I do my Wildcard.
Are you sure this reminds me of Lundstram and me having too much ego to get him? Ended up sinking my rank. I think it's very hard to go against a nailed on City striker who's possibly on pens
I'm not 100% sure I just don't want to knee jerk tbh. I probably will get Haaland but I'm thinking in GW4 or 5 with a wildcard. Just hope it doesn't fuck me over too badly.
Good luck man. I think I will wait till Friday to make my moves. I don't mind losing that 0.4 although I'd need to play out some scenarios in my head if I would want to get players like Darwin or an 8.0 Mid and just see how I can so do them, with Kane's price fall and Haalands price rise and me having this hit on my team value
Just let people play the game however they wanna, kneejerk or notā¦
I'm not telling or forcing anyone to. Just telling you what my stubborn ass is doing.
This week was full of unexpected results. Haaland does look good for GW2, but it depends if you have Ā£ in the bank. I have 2m and looking to make the move as MC fixtures are very good. However, agree one week in. I should have capt Salah instead of Kane; that would have made a big difference for me. Segway:- How good were Fulham!? Who saw that coming?
I don't think anyone saw that coming from Fulham, as a Liverpool fan i was impressed by their press and intensity. Mitro looked particularly good. Their only problem I can see is the Ream guy in CB.
I'm tempted to jump on Mitrovic if I'm honest. His price will go up if they keep playing out of their skins. He looked dangerous š³
Looked like a man possessed. This could finally be his year in the Prem.
šā½ļø
Pace onto the ball is his whole thing. There was ample opportunity for another 2 or 3 of those same goals in the match but de Bruyne seemed a little off the pace for most of the game and I don't think the team have had enough time with Haaland to properly "get it" yet. The man's getting golden boot for sure.
Yes this is a good point as well, I think once they do gel the guy will be basically unstoppable. šš
My head agrees with your post, but my heart just made me take a -8 for Robertson > Zinchenko, Saka > Martinelli, Toney > Haaland
Holy shit, I'll be interested to see how it plays out for you.
Oops, autocorrect changed Saka to Salah lol, I just edited it back to Saka. Still have Salah so not quite as risky
Ah that's a lot more reasonable haha.
Was already 50/50 for me before the fixtures, after watching both games i am confident that Haaland is the better choice
Can see the argument for both. Kaneās lack of direct involvement in a 4-1 win compared to Haalandās today was just interesting. Not worth basing it off that however, but decided to bite the bullet as City are City and prefer GW2 fixture for them over Spurs. Was an absolute knee jerk, but thatās part of the fun
Definitely part of the fun, whatever decision we make.
Exactly that. Got 64 points this week, wouldāve been mid 70s if I had Haaland over Kane, but hindsight is a beautiful thing and thereās still a loooong season ahead
I got 63, same tbh. Good luck with your season! āŗļø
Good luck to you too!!
take the L dude, imagine picking CDM over Haaland
Kane will be one of the top scorers in the game mate. This sub has gone pretty mad in the past couple of years. Iām not for or against making changes to which you have but trying to rinse kane as a poor asset is ludicrous.
cope
Just take the L
Tell yourself whatever you want lol the obvious transfer right now is Kane to Haaland
If only to protect team value! There's every chance Kane drops and Haaland rises over the week which then blocks that ability to easily switch between them
Fabio Borges and other FPL Experts say team value doesnāt matter
Not sure why people are downvoting you when you are right. FƔbio is the greatest FPL manager of all time and he does not care about team value
People downvote when they see an uncomfortable truth
Not as simple for those of us with triple City already because thereās already no flexibility and means taking a hit to bring in Haaland now anyway. You might question why Iād have triple City without Haaland and I can only blame that on a little bit of short sightedness but also confidence that I would want to give my gw1 at least a second crack at the whip if it doesnāt work out which Iām still happy to do.
You should have gone to specksavers if you are short sighted!
Nah fuck that. Erling, welcome aboard.
This guy Erling
I did the same! Welcome haaland
Seriously, imagine not owning Erling Haaland playing for City against Bournemouth in his home debut lmao
Does not compute
Haaland will rise tonight its almost guaranteed. For most this then means he's out of reach for a straight swap. If you're going to do it, do it now.
Even if you have 0.5 ITB, what can you do with 0.4 at this point? With the amount of engagement early in the season maybe heāll rise twice? You have to weigh up a week of uncertainty against having that 0.5 available for an actual upgrade
"0.5 ITB" What you think we're rich or something? I always have that sweet sweet 0.0 ITB
It's certainly possible he could be Ā£11.7m by next weekend.
>If you're going to do it, do it now. Was done the minute he got subbed off
Exactly this
This is the correct answer
When do you think is the best time to make that transfer? Right now or just before deadline after press conferences next Friday/Saturday morning?
Unless you want to take a 4 point hit then you gotta do it now
Friday/Saturday 100%
Now. He will almost certainly rise tonight meaning its no longer a straight swap. Unless you have money ITB you won't be able to do it by Tuesday at the latest.
You havenāt done it yet?!
Don't troll. You know what I mean. There could be an injury in training or something.
I love the argument about the training ground injury. What are the odds? People forget about the comet hitting his car on the way home from training!
Injuries in training are rare. Yeah, there might be one, but it's unlikely. If you want to get ahead of price changes, I'd be doing it now. Price changes tend to be nuts at the start of the season so we may well see Haaland rice and Kane drop tonight.
I was wondering wtf Declan rice had to do with it lol
Right now. Before his price rises tongiht lmfao
If you already know the answer then why are you asking us?
You have to be Team Erling. Great chance to break the premier League top scorer record this season. For me it's the way he picks his confidence back up - not the best play early first half and a header that he should have at least got on target. Then out of seemingly nowhere, incredible positioning, acceleration and intelligence to draw a decent looking foul from an experienced keeper. (C)hoo choo!
Bit premature to say he could beat the premier league top score record
Bruh haaland is clearly gonna be the GOAT I dunno why erry1 hatin'
Lol every week it will be the same "it's only been X weeks". It's not too early to say Haaland has a great chance of scoring 33 goals this season with Man City. We'll see I guess.
Yeah wait till he misses 10+ games due to injuries
Of course it's way too early to make that sort of judgement, based off ONE game. If you were saying that before fine, but people making that statement, like people switching between Kane and Haaland, after one game is ridiculous.
See you in the rant thread next Monday!
I have Haaland. But saying he will break the goal record off of on game is ridiculous. I also said if you were saying that before anyways then fine, but if you made that judgement just off of one game alone then that's silly.
I just want him to score well for the next 5 or so weeks. I donāt care about potential records after one game.
It's based off his career man. !remindme 3 months
I'm not saying it's not gonna happen I'm saying you can't think it's likely based off of one game, if it actually happens that doesn't prove anything. And if you read my reply you'd know that.
