Talk about a kneejerk

Could work out well but probably evens out somewhat in the medium term.

Nunez minutes don't matter if he's getting points but it may be early to do it too.

Tempting as it looks.

Prob avoid Diaz

Who's the boy?

it could work out, but you know what Salah can do

It could work but high risk

Sure, roll ft

GW2 agree keep team = good start to season & look for GW3 (2ft)

"The Uruguayan Lukaku"

Let's see how this ages.

He essentially missed his chance but still got a goal and a poor touch got him an assist - on another day he'd be getting slated I think.

Jury still out for me.

On inside an hour and could have score another couple - going to get the service.

He had the same expected goal involvement as Haaland with half the time on the pitch. Don't care about his touch.

Why he’s playing in the championship this year confuses me - he’s premier league quality.

Saka and Martinelli double could be gold.

His next 7 look pretty decent.

Reliable points scorer last season with another year of experience. The impact of Jesus is the unknown…

But how was Saka in the first game?

Saka > Jesus ???

Given additional point for goals and CS???

"No player is essential" etc etc etc

Richarlison

No player is essential per se, but he's definitely in my plans. KDB might make way GW3 now that I've got City cover with Haaland.

To me yes

If he scores like last season but at 12m he creates a problem elsewhere

The result of that is that, if you dare to go against that optimal solution, as I did, you can't win. You either "get what you deserved" if you lost vs the optimal, or you are fortunate and gained from "variance" if you beat the optimal

Isn't RMT all opinions?

I am impressed. Great project to have worked on. I’m sure it’s given you perspective and maturity as a contributor to FFS

Don't let this distract u from the fact that Ismaila Sarr scored a goal from his own half today

The fantastic model on FFS project 19 forwards to score more points than Darwin. This crap is not hard to beat.

Hold surely

Have Mount. Didn't love what I watched v Everton.

Looks to be playing pretty deep, starting to think Sterling hinders him.

Save the transfer. It's only been 1 game.

you said it already - awful form based on 1 game is an oxymoron

Conclusions drawn from just one match sit on a throne of lies

Hold. In the Udinese game Mount played on the other wing and looked much better, him and Sterling were connecting loads. I'm sure Tuchel will address the positioning moving forward.

Things can change quickly but would rather be on Saka or Kulu at this stage

I’d shift to Kulu. You’ll want after GW2 for the decent fixture run. Correct your mistake now and save the brain space!

Saka, reason for myself being he was the best Arsenal asset last season and that I switched Jesus to Mitro after getting Haaland and Darwin.

I prefer Jesus, but Saka gives you more flexibility as there are several other options at 8.0 mid (Kulu, Diaz, Foden, Mount).

Keeper will be disappointed. It was his side -

of the pitch

Backed Brom when they went behind and covered the draw for a no bet.
Brom look better.

Done

When I have more than 1 GW of info to assess form

Circa GW6-8

Just surplus to his requirements I'm guessing.
Toffees need him, might do ok there.

Must have failed his GCSE Portuguese

Was going to ask the same ; that's some fall from grace.

feels like he cant play in a CB pairing, so is surplus to requirements

In my rival's team. Had Guehi's -1 coming off the bench for him. Still beating me.

I thought he was a lifelong Red?

Wolves are moving away from a back 3 - and Coady doesn’t have the pace to play CB in a 4 - we’ll that seems to be the general opinion of ‘experts’ anyway!

I have gone Haaland Darwin Mitro.

I think the forwards this year are 'gonna bang, so no.
Can't get any worse than last season, hoping the defence suffers this year as I can see a lot of peeps are big at the back.

Surely Arsenal and LFC will score a lot more than Fulham. Even if the goals will be shared out more I’d reckon the pricing is fair

Gone big on wc and don't have too much of a compromise.. famous last words right?

Seems to cover all the bases with nice price points and also barring and injury or anything unexpected

Sanchez
Taa James Walker Saliba
Salah Kulu Martinelli
Haaland Darwin Jesus

Feels good

Judith Durham and Olivia N-J within a few days! Very sad.

RIP to her and Roger E Mosley

No

Probably, wingbacks a bit of a lottery

How likely is Walker to-get more than 4 points? And how likely to get 2 or 6? Could work, but not stand-out!

Perisic to Saliba and give yourself 1m in the bank for next week

The 2 weeks after you’ll probably wish you had perisic

I wouldn't. If you are concerned about him starting v Chelsea play one of your subs. I might start Pereira v Wolves. Then hope Perisic starts v Wolves.

Nope.

Gabriel. Zinchenko not nailed long term - likely to rotate with Tierney at LB and Xhaka at CDM. Gabriel should play every game and an aerial threat on set pieces.

Zinc from those two, Saliba for 4.5 is a bargain. The latter is getting baps for doing his job as apposed to attacking baps

I'd go Gabriel myself. Not much in it though.

Thanks all

I have Gabriel, higher floor

Zinchenko seems like he has a higher ceiling with assists I think but more uncertain role with Tierney returns

I would have said Zinchenko before price rise, but Gab now

I would just save, 2ft will be nice

C__or gtg.

A.

A for me.

Mount to Kulu - get involved in Spurs!

100% save - stop even thinking about using that FT

Probably not

No

Playing LWB following Cucurella’s departure. Good player but will struggle for points this season, IMO.

when he shows some form, yes

Next year definitely. He'll be classed as a defender. He'll be my first pick.

Never bench Henry. You payed 14.0m for good reason.

Trippier.

Don’t think Tripp will get CS points against Brighton but has assist points potential through corners and freekicks.

It’s a brainer, it’s a real brainer.

Yeah I would

I like the transfers.

Look like decent moves but I assume that you weren't going to be starting Archer, so who would you be benching to start Darwin and Martinelli.?

Looks good. Darwin is a real threat IMO, fancy him to do well over the next few.

I would take the hit.

James.

James and hold Mahrez. Think he was going to start vs West ham before foden's good training sessions. Could be Mahrez's turn next

I've ditched my Chelsea assets, feels ok to me.
White.

James and hold. Mahrez will play against Bournemouth.

James is week in week out no excuse

Not sure Chilwell is a longterm pick with the rotation and him being plagued with injuries.

I would go for A though.

A

Definitely not B

A looks much better.

A

Think Patterson is nailed, Coleman’s let’s have gone.

If you have no other fires to put out I would ship Perisic to a defender who is actually nailed, otherwise keep and assess after the first international break.

B1

Don't take a hit for a 4.5 DEF and a 5.5 MID

Not this week. Brighton are a really good side and could score vs Newcastle. Aaronson looks like a really energetic player but not sure it’s worth shipping Bailey before Everton at home.

Hmm not for me

For this week Foden is probably the better pick but I would much rather have Kulusevski long term.

Risky ; absolutely no guarantee Foden starts next week ; probably the left spot between him and Grealish.

Can't see any reason to

Prob not, too deep and Trip is on dead balls. Rather wingers over cms

Haaland home to Bournemouth seems a no brainer. Palace were decent after a dodgy 20 minutes against Arsenal, unlucky to lose really . . Salah likes playing Palace but far harder game.

I very rarely go against Salah but Haaland in a home game vs a newly promoted side just seems like guaranteed points. Wouldn’t overthink it.

Haaland. When deciding on who to captain think about present data not who did this or that to a certain team last season etc.

Use the eyes don't lie test.
