Callum Wilson (£7.5m) comes into the 2021/22 season as one of several promising mid-priced forwards between £7.0m and £8.5m.

As Fantasy Premier League managers look to this bracket for their savings in a campaign set to center around very expensive midfielders, we have examined Wilson’s appeal since joining Newcastle.

      Yeah super article

      Really enjoyed this one and the TAA/Robbo one earlier

      Something about these analyses being based on *seasons* of data rather than just the last gameweek or two (as is often the case with the mid season articles) just makes them feel more… solid

          I agree. These are the type of fact-based articles we miss during the season now that Pro Pundits and the so-called FFS Community posts flood the site. I am also enjoying not seeing articles with clickbait headlines!

        Saka is good, but Foden was unlucky not to net twice. Saka didn't have any direct attempts on goal, but did create more opportunities for other players.

            Don't think he'll get many of those and if he does you're gambling 6 points on getting an extra point. Just stick with your 6.

      On 50 so far this week and leading my ML by 57 points, I have Gosens, Kimmich, P Torres, F Torres ad Ronaldo left.
      Twist on KDB's 6 pointer do you reckon?

      Crazy I know but I can't choose between Gosens (potentially huge ceiling) or Ronaldo - does he get much vs France?

      Is Knabry a trap for Captain? Gosens made two assists and scored against Portugal. Gnabry, whilst he did look good on the pitch, didn't actually score above 2 in either match so far.

        He had the most penalty box touches last game. Not saying that makes him the best captain, but I think he's the best German mid you can pick.

        Gosens probably the safest - high floor and high ceiling.

          Yes good point regarding the touches. I have them both so just working out whether it's worth a punt or not. I have regained some points on my ML rival this week, only 8 in it now. But as I am chasing, I guess it really makes sense to take a gamble as I need to get the points back soon.

          Very true. Just unsure I want to risk it. I think the Gosens clean sheet potential takes the edge off the risk and also adds more potential rewards in my situation.

                  I plan to start with him cause he’s cheap and has good fixtures. If a better value 4.5 - more save potential and similar CSs - emerges then I will switch on WC I feel.

                  All very early though - he could get a big money move to Carlisle yet!

                    You could almost captain him every week man. Could haul in absolutely any game.

                      Yeah to be honest there’d have to be serious consideration given to a Kane-only team with no Salah/Bruno

                      Just perma cap Kane

                      Still think Levy will mess it all up though, he’ll somehow manage to get the worst thing for Spurs, which is probably a 28-year old Kane staying, playing out 2/3 seasons with Spurs finishing around 6th & all of a sudden he’s 31 with no resale value

                        I’d maybe have Salah but Bruno would definitely go to begin with. Kane would be in my team from GW1-38 and captain most weeks.

                        I don’t believe the rumours of City offering £100m and a player (Laporte/Jesus) but if they’re true, then Levy should definitely accept.

              Their last group game is 28th july. Quarters if they get there where they would likely face germany or brazil is 31st july. Will likely be back well before season start for pool on 14th Aug. Probably better than pre-season to get him up to speed.

                I agree.
                Salah have already been on vacation for a month. If he start his build up now or in a week or so, then he could be near good shape for late July, and he will be in perfect shape for GW1 in PL.
                He might be a bit tired in the busy december schedule og late season, but for the start of the season it could be really good.

                KDB will probably start his vacation in 2 weeks time, and if his vacation is 3-4 weeks he'll be back a week or two before GW1. No way on earth will he play the first two GWs in PL.

              Liverpool shouldn’t let him do it as it’s not senior football

              It’s Egypt’s under 23’s for God’s sake - let the under 23’s pay his wages for the month maybe & see if he still goes

            Serious question,
            TAA + Dallas
            or Shaw/Cresswell + Raph + 1m spare?

            Liverpool look by far to have the strongest start and if they hit the ground running TAA could be in for many hauls.
