Not sure not long back from work so not caught up with all stories yet, I am thinking Man United would not have gone this far if they were not prepared to spend big. I guess if Brighton do sell they will want to do it soon so they can replace him.
I read Colyier was offered to Brighton as part of the deal though was flatly refused.
Internet not been great so just upgraded my hub and the difference is unreal i did not realize how slow my other hub was lol
I guess Brighton must have been prepared for a bid to come from a bigger club for the player too, of course. They're a club that has a track record of selling and replacing players successfully. The only thing that might be difficult with this deal, is the timing, I guess.
These kinds of upgrades can make a huge difference. The main router for my WiFi was upgraded by the internet provider a year and a half ago, as they were changing old models. For some reason the new router, although great when using my Macbook or whatever nearby works just fine, this router does not cover the entire flat as good as the old one (for some reason) – so I got a Google Nest Wifi with an adtitional access point to cover the whole flat. That has worked fine so far.
My provider said my hub was no longer getting updates @Torgeirtrap I have the fastest broadband bundle though my old hub never had the capability to show it lol with hindsight.
Calvert Lewin being linked to Man United again, as a back up striker as Zirkzee is injured why not.
I really struggle with my team as well. I've made a few changes here and there because of transfer window transfers and such, but I can't even settle on a formation yet!
That's part of the reason my internet provider offered new routers to all their customers, simply so that you would get the best out of the internet you actually pay for. I've had few issues since the upgrade, which is great.
Calvert-Lewin is a free agent now, isn't he? Could be a good deal for United.
@Torgeirtrap completely changed my team today I am seriously thinking of going without Salah io think he is too expensive.

Spanish FA approve request for Villarreal v Barcelona, how long before a Premier League game does this, its all about the money. Villarreal forfeiting home advantage.
A reporter for The Times just wrote on X/Twitter that «Chelsea plan to head into the new season with Sanchez as No1, no change in stance around GKs, happy with options and not in for Donnarumma.»
I guess there's still a chance for United then, but it will depend on their transfer strategy for the transfer window. What a chance though – potentially getting one of the world's best in the position.
When you see how the clubs use their preseason tours just as much as promotional tours, it's only a matter of time for sure.
I'm not against clubs using preseason tours as promotional tours though; that's just a clever way of building interest around the club. A league game (or games!) is much different.
Newcastle have agreed a £43m deal to sign Aston Villa's Jacob Ramsey
Isak to Liverpool next ?🏁
Anyone got a squad yet ?
Surely it's just a matter of time for Isak. Big blow for Newcastle of course!
I'm starting to have something ready, but there are a few positions I'm really not sure about yet. This last hour will be busy! :))
If it turns out anything like the Swedish Fantasy game, then it won't be that difficult. In that game, you will see who's worth going for in a matter of gameweeks – especially those players that seem to pick up bonus points regularly. A lot of content creators have delved deep into which players who might or might not be bonus points magnets, but I don't think it's as easy to just use stats from last season to predict bonus points for this season.
Edit: I might have sacrificed a bit of team structure in a last minute move. Really don't know if that change was saved or not though!
Looking at the breakdown for last nights game I think I understand the defensive bonus system.
Not sure if Wirtz is worth hanging onto.
Hope you're doing better now, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns!
I might be getting cold feet re. Wirtz too. In the draft that ended up being my final team, him vs. overall squad depth and/or defenders was the big question. And I wasn't really sure by the deadline which I preferred the most. Looking at the current scores from this weekend's games, it looks like I might have made the wrong call in the end. Time will tell.
Better thanks @Torgeirtrap throat infection still up and down though off work now so will try to sleep it off.
I did two transfers last night in my delirium lol my team is bad i bet I hit the wildcard soon.
According to SKY they have gone up from 128 matches last season to 215 matches in the Premier League this season which is good.
Apparently the push was not the reason for it being ruled out but proximity to the Chelsea wall???
At least Wood has scored a goal for my FPL disasterclass of a team.
Chelsea not really got going, for all there spending they have signed 8 new players this summer its baffling they have not got a world class keeper and world class CB's in.
Rasmus not in squad and Onana not starting (may not be in the squad either) for Man United, the ruthlessness continues.
Wood gets a second thank god.
---
Dalot, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Dorgu
Bruno, Casemiro
Mount, Mbeumo
Cunha
Man United line up, not happy with Cunha as a 9 and that midfield is too slow. Maybe Mount will be a false 9, Cunha for me is very dangerous running from deep and wasted up top.
João Pedro looks to be going off done nothing in this game.
Brentford scores there goes my Forest clean sheet, the FPL stresses are here once again.
Eze being clapped off could this be his last game for Palace.
I had to chuckle when I just saw World Champions giant sign inside Stamford Bridge stadium.
0 - 0 Palace are a tough nut to crack.
I've had two weeks of being a bit under the weather myself, which started with a soar throat. Still a bit more tired than usual, but getting better. Hope you will too!
Gameweek 1 didn't work out at all for me. Just about any 50/50 call up until the deadline went against me. I might do anything from nothing at all to play the wildcard by the next deadline!
My takeaway from the game is that United looked a lot better than I've seen of them in a long time. Arsenal looked way off, with the exception of the corner leading to the goal, and Gabriel and Saliba's defending. Big question marks for Arsenal going into the next game, but I'd be optimistic as a United fan.
Think there has been something going around as many people I know have had throat issues recently, hope you feel 100 per cent soon.
I have already hit my wildcard I was not happy with my lineup at all lol going into this new season I really did not know who to select for my team after the first round of games I have a better idea of who will be good assets I think lol
M an United looked better though no points shows there is still work to do, our midfield is still an issue, Ugarte needs to improve also as not been great during preseason and will be targeted a lot when in possession as he is not press resistant. Personally I think most of our midfielders when be more suited in a 3 man midfield set up.
Yeah, I'm not the only one at work having felt more tired and unwell than usual – but I guess it's just one of those late summer/early autumn kind of bugs!
Still not sure what to do myself. On one hand I don't feel my team is terrible on paper, but I do feel I missed some great opportunities with the players I went without. My team doesn't look good for gameweek 2 either (although that was taken into consideration when picking the gameweek 1 squad), but I do wonder still if I need to take some action or not to avoid dropping too much in the overall rankings.
I do wonder if United can bring one more signing in before the window closes. They've done well with the signings they have brought in, and just another quality player to add to that squad can make a lot of difference. They were linked with some defenders too, earlier in the window?
Eberechi Eze transfer news: Arsenal agree £67.5m deal to sign Crystal Palace forward after hijacking Tottenham move........💥
This transfer window is bonkers......... 🎅
I must admit finding gameweek 1 very difficult to predict, and even picking a decent team was a task going all the way up until the deadline. Some highly owned assets failed to deliver points to managers, but that doesn't mean our league didn't see good scores. Best in the first gameweek of the season was THE GREATEST, scoring 79 points. Congratulations! =D>
Make sure to have your teams ready by tonight's deadline, at 18:30 UK time!

I'm itching to have a look at the graphics for this season, but I haven't had the time. If I do get the opportunity, I might make some changes at some point.
My Twitter/X timeline has never been as exciting as when the news broke :)) The fact that they've managed to get him over Sp*rs makes it even better!
_____________
Couldn't decide on a transfer (or wildcard draft!) so I'm saving my transfer until next gameweek.
Not looked at my FPL team I know I made some disastrous decisions.
I hate this formation.
There has been rumors about Bruno going to Saudi again, last time that happened he was terrible in a final.
Get Sesko on now....
Our two midfielders are now Bruno and Mount wt...
Team is a mess, manager making odd decisions. We have Mainoo and Ugarte on the bench.
Yoro goal woooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Max and Rio did well when they came on.⚽⚽
2 - 0 handball thankfully, this team is a bunch of strangers.
OMG 2- 0 calamity goal keeping by Onana that was unbelievable.
There is a way back in if they can feed Sesko.
Sesko had a few chances he will score. [-O<
We need to sign a good keeper or our season is a write off.
Half time a lot to do, we can win this if we calm the f down.
The rain is torrential which has made Man United be a bit more considered in there play.
come on United got a free kick... header over the bar.
20 minutes to go and its hit and hope football, this is painful to watch.
3 - 0 offside saves us wt... VAR may have given that, I think he was on.
This team can't do the basics.
2 - 1 Mbeumo scores a corker.
2 - 2 Maguire in the 89th minute, Grimsby been cynical with the challenges in last part of the game.
5 minutes injury time, come on United don't want penalties.
De Ligt could have had the winner at the death and skies it, he had about half a dozen chances you would want other players to be on the end of. Penalties...
Watch Onana save 2 or 3 pens lol he needs to to be honest.
Grimsby up first and... scores Onana with a weak hand.
United... Bruno scores.
Grimsby... scores.
Mbeumo... great pen.
Grimsby.... misses and Onana I think saved it.
Mount... get in.
Grimsby... goal.
Dalot next interesting.... great pen.
Grimsby.... scores and Onana got a hand to it again.
Cunha to win the game.... omg that was poor saved.
Grimsby... score.
Zirkzee to keep us in it... blasts it goal.
Come on Onana... goal went wrong way.
Mainoo to keep us in it... great pen.
Come on Onana we can't lose this... nowhere near.
Maguire bizarrely Sesko not took one... blasts it goal.
Onana save it please... goal hand to it again.
De Ligt... that was good.... this could go on for days.
Dam good pen by Grimsby again.
Sesko... great pen. 9 - 9.
Grimsby keepr great pen.
Onana to take a pen now... and scores omg this is stress.
11- 10 Bruno to keep us in it... scores.
Omg Onana got to hands to it and still conceded.
Mbeumo hits cross bar we are out.
Major pitch invasion, United players get out of there and the board buy a keeper.
