        It's FOMO but also covering his bases.

        To maintain the good rank you do need to play a bit boring and use EO to your advantage.

      well here is the swing if Andy had just held his position and done nothing

      Azpil - 6 points off the bench for Livra
      Rapha - TBA

      Hit -4
      Chilwell +8
      Foden +2

      … so zero overall change with Rapha to play.

      (so much for the Foden high ceiling 😉 )

    A) Duffy (NEW)

    C) Saka (WAT)
    D) Raph (LEI)

    I'm very satisfied with my squad. Got up to 5K OR, but I don't see any real way forward now. Nearly all the transfers in I'm seeing are for players I've got - I'm really only lacking Son and Harvertz among popular picks. So whatever happens, my score will be much the same as everyone else. Gonna be really hard to significantly gain rank now.

      Surely going off what you've said the only way is to target the fixture swings. Someone like Son isnt a very popular pick, or go for Kane etc.

      Also the current form players will dip off sooner or later. Mount was not an option and now is, Benrahma was a staple and now isn't. Lots of change to come

        I'm not going to take reckless risks by going for differentials for the sake of it - that's what chasers need to do. The art will be in spotting the up-and-coming sorts, and jettisoning winners as they are about to take a dive. After Sarr, my next transfer could conceivably be Antonio. I'm not ready to lose him yet, but if he dries up I'd want to hop off a week or two ahead of the masses. Just this week I sold Duffy - he's done me proud, but my hunch is he's peaked.

        Not that easy though. When our squads are heavily comprised of City, Chelsea and Liverpool assets, there are no fixture-swings as such. Finessing CWC and AFCON will be interesting though.

      In a similar boat myself, maybe the case for a few weeks, but surely ACN followed by B/DGW etc. will mix things up. Until then keep the ship as steady as possible...

        I'e taken a couple of nasty tumbles - from OR 500 to 22K in GW5, and down to 36K a couple of weeks ago, but I'm a bit Chumbawumba at the moment. Still, if it's tricky to rise much, it's harder to fall too much either if we've all got the same captaincy and squads.

    It's not exactly a new opinion on here but the 'FPL social content' growth is absolutely killing most of my leagues.

    In leagues where the last couple of years there's be like 10% doing 'sensible' FPL community picks, there is now probably 50-60% of the league all targeting whoever Let's Talk FPL or the official FPL twitter account is pushing through their "expert opinion" tweets.

        Rodgers is the best available - prefer him to conte or the ajax lad

        Although

        In fairness to conte - there's a part of me that wants nothing more than to see that squad put in the hands of a sad-masochist fitness freak like Conte

        Would be poetic justice to see them crying & vomiting from his training sessions as he whoops them into shape

      I think you have underestimated how happy Brendan is at Leicester and how much he believes in the project. He isn't leaving for anywhere.

      Things continue on current trajectory then Leicester will be a bigger draw than Utd in 3/4 years time anyway.

            United went through that 1968-1993. Won't be that long again, I'm sure.
