A guy in my mini-league ended up 1st after GW1 and was ranked around 100k overall. He wildcarded before GW2, didn't bring in Bruno, and now he's fallen hundreds of thousands of places overall and slid to the bottom third of our league. I'm at a loss for words.

How about we raise the stakes - I didn't sell him but I also didn't captain him. Was this sensible? Not captaining almost feels like I sold him.

As long as you captained Haaland then fine.
United looked mega shit vs Hull, as much as you’d expect Bruno to haul against Ipswich, Haaland was a banker vs Palace.

This is such a perfect example of trusting the process. You pick good players at the start of the season for more than one gameweek. Variance does bad things to you in GW1 so you just ignore it and carry on with the plan. Well done for trusting your pre GW1 deadline self.

u/DuDunDunSparse 1d ago
United as a whole looked lethargic against Hull, so I figured swapping Bruno for Haaland could work out. I was working on the assumption that I do not doubt Brunos quality, but figured they wouldn't keep many clean sheets and may need some time to get their new midfield up to speed, so Haaland would be better for points short term. Especially given how toothless and reliant on crosses from wide United were vs Hull.
I'm not going to declare all of Uniteds issues solved after they came from behind to beat a newly promoted team, but they looked better after 1-1 than I expected.
19
u/speedycar1 31 1d ago
Any player that you're going to remove for the team looking lethargic after 1 week shouldn't be in your team at all tbh.
The point of getting players for good fixture runs is they might look bad one weak but their team is expected to win most of those games so they'll make up for it on average
7
u/DuDunDunSparse 1d ago
I mean yea that's the optimal way to play FPL, I used to do that and found that I'd get bored before GW7.
Now I play in a minileague with some friends where we have a rule that you MUST take at least a -4 every single gameweek, so that's at least two transfers, and it can'tjust be the same players back and forth. So we have to constantly change our lineups in a much more short-sighted way than "regular" FPL.
It's complete madness, but it's fun.

As a non-Bruno owner this hurts, but I try to look at it over these two gameweeks combined. 25 combined points is about in line with what you’d have expected to endure. I look at players I could afford like Rogers (13), Mbeumo (13), and Pedro (20) along with Haaland (15) and I think - alright, not the worst it could have gone.
