        Those tweets remind me of the kind of MSN Messenger usernames people at school (and myself tbh) used to have when we were 12-13 years old. Young people above 14 dont use emojis like that. The twitter guy is out of touch and over the top.

    To anyone wanting to make early transfers.. Just hold off, calm down and wait a few weeks. You can't decide if a player is worth it based on one week of football.

    Worst thing you can do is chase last week's points

    I was searching for news on Richalisons "injury" and the guy on the BBC wrote... "Richarlison's injury can't be too bad as he's walking freely away from the bench",

    Now, I'm no doctor and it was probably cramp but I've got a personal caveat about players looking seemingly none the worse for wear after feeling a twinge in their calf. I remember years ago Jonny Evans trotting off Old Trafford for no apparent reason and costing me a clean sheet. It looked totally innocuous so I kept him for the next week...and the next... and the next before finally getting rid. He finally reappeared three weeks later.

    Wish I had read this at the time...

    "The length of time needed for healing a calf strain depends on the severity of the injury. A typical grade I calf strain will heal in 7 to 10 days, a grade II injury within about 4 to 6 weeks, and a grade III calf strain within about 3 months".

    All I'm saying is hold those bets just now until he's confirmed OK.

      The kicker for me was him standing up getting interviewed for 5 mins receiving the MOTM award on Sky, showing no visible signs of discomfort, and the interviewer not thinking to even ask about his 'injury'. A bit later on Silva gets interviewed, a large part of the discussion centres around Richarlison, and again, no mention whatsoever of the injury. I think he's OK.

      early in the match Richarlison got a heavy kick on the back of his lower calf/top achilies. It must have just cramped up as he did a lot of sprinting.

          He doesn't play very deep, he is on set pieces and Wolves are an attacking team. I don't see a 5.0 or less midfielder with higher potential. I went for Ralls myself and wanted to save my transfer but considering this swap now.

      There is a guy called Peter Blake who is far more of an expert. His average finishing posistions are not as good. However, everything he does is explained with fascinating statistical analysis. Some of it quite ground breaking. This to me is more of an expert than someone who just makes a few off the cuff hunches and has had a few good finishing posistions.

      Troy Deeney has lost a stone in weight and is clearly just a early season roll of the dice like any cheap forward. They can only be judged over 5-6 games periods.

      I went with Benteke, others with Mitrovoc or King. Know one knows but all look nailed.

        Chasing last week’s points is generally seen as a flawed strategy, BUT...

        Sometimes a player goes on a streak or has a break out season - you need to jump on these bandwagons early enough to keep up.

        I think though 90 mins is too soon to make a clear judgement on who those players are going to be.

        Best advice is keep reading the site and see what others are saying and doing.

          You did the right thing obviously.

          I benched him because I've gone 5 premium defs. Other 4 (VVD, Robertson, Rudiger, Davies) looked better on paper. And I didn't want to bench Mitrovic (who should have scored maybe twice or atleast once yesterday).

    Is Jota-> Richarlison too knee jerky? The doubts I had have been quelled and we know he has the ability and fixtures.

    I’d love to wait given the (seemingly) minor injury and it’s only one game but if I miss the price rise I’d be forced into another transfer to fund

      Richarlison was always the better pick. I've said it so many times that he's underpriced this season. Bet if he was already at Everton when the prices were rolled out, he would have been atleast 7.5m.

      On Jota, think he did fine. Got you an assist on Day 1, not too bad for 6.5m. Give him another game or two and then make a decision.

    I would rather seek expert advice from a manager who has won FPL once as opposed to one who applies consistent pressure to the lower insignificant milestones and achieves nothing.

    It's genuinely baffling how Jay and co are charging for their advice (only to do the opposite transfers of their own advice), and how unfortunately some of the innocent FFS community have paid for it (who are regretting it already).

    Giving these sort of people publicity by allowing them to appear on shows, scoutcast etc. is only going to con more people out of their money.

    It's sad to see. I used to value this site for its honesty. That has appeared to be gone all in the space of one summer.

    And I hope this post doesn't get deleted, it's just an opinion.

      Those con artists should honestly receive no exposure on FFS features like ScoutCast, Scout Picks and whatever the "Ask the Pros" section is called. Im glad I didnt pay for membership this season.. Pretty laughable that there is a guy on the scoutcast without a top 100k finish as well.. (if comments above on this page are true)

        It could probably be classified as an actual scam in many countries. I know that institutions like banks have stricter rules but if a financial advisor gives advice to some clients that he wouldnt follow himself then that is illegal. That is basically what Jay is doing.

        I agree 100% I paid for it one year a few years ago now.
        I regretted it effected my enjoyment of the game.
        I was bamboozled by stats I did not need. And tables that were extremely hard to read and follow.
        (design was not clear to follow at a glance)
        A lot of it seemed to be stats for the sake of stats.

                    Unfortunately I think you are right, not good for the game, when there is no one near them.
                    But I would be chuffed with four in a row.
                    Would be going mad at five in a row that is what all dubs supporters are dreaming of already!
                    After that I kinda hope they slow down a bit it will only encourage splitting Dublin in two.
