      Because people are totally and utterly obsessed with nailedness and would rather have a guy who scores 2 pts but plays 90 minutes every week than a guy who scores 185 pts from 27 starts.

      There's a myth that TAA and Sterling aren't nailed enough, yet those two combined for 419 pts and are essential in FPL.

      TAA didn't play 9 games, so even a playing 4.5 bench def with only 2 pts per match would win 18 pts. 185 + 15 = 200.

      I personally think TAA will soon add more goals to his tally, while Robbo never scores and is older so won't really become any better at this point. Limited skill set too.

          I have Wilson Fraser and Moura. Hoping to smash GW1 so the hit in GW3 to lose all 3 won't hurt so much.
          Plan is to take Fraser and Moura to something like Son and Barkley as I like the 9.5 KDB Son Pepe price point and it still covers the 7.5 to 8.5 slot if I feel like downgrading.

          I decided taking a hit for basically a one week punt on Moura was stupid for about a week but last 2 days he is back in - can't resist a punt 🙂

            You have a player that gets a late flag and it's not visible of the default view of your my team page.
            I think that's dangerous. 6 weeks of planning gets destroyed because something that was always there every other year is not.
            I am talking the little triangles with yellow or red for flagged players. It's not there anymore - at least not for me.

      Why not pick a player who basically averages 1 assist per 90 mins and is likely to get a CS - all that at a discount price?

      BTW I'm replacing him with Ritchie.

          No need to rotate imo, just pick the wrong starter on numerous occasions which would wreck my head!
          If I don't BB, think I'll go with Heaton as he's a FPL points magnet (albeit unproven at villa) and has good fixtures from GW2 to GW10.
          If I BB, which I'm very tempted to do, I will start with both and downgrade one at some stage.

      I don't like GK rotation in general, and I think Haller will struggle to adapt to being the only striker in West Ham after playing as the central member of the front three with Jovic and Rebic. He'll be suffering from phantom team mates in early GWs. Will have no one to pass to.
