FantasyCub, did you end up benching Haaland?

That's why our contracts are so long. They pay eventually 😆

His Shot Avoidance stats were folklore a season or two back but he seems to have gone into the the habit of somehow getting in the way of those attempts now.

I’m thinking of Andreas to Mahrez too but I’ll be going Toney to Kane also

If you want Nketiah do it sooner than later as Jesus return is nearing

I agree

I have some Spanish Chorizo in my fridge in the drawer on the bottom. It's not a great shotstopper but sometimes keeps hunger at bay. I call it baywatch but it's probably just me.

This is a comment

Si señor.

please 🙂

You could have not looked

Weekly player EO does not affect your rank at the end of the season

It simply does not. It's only important if you play in H2H, cups or mini-leagues with special rules

The idea behind differentials is to get players who'll perform well but haven't been noticed by others. It's not about how well-owned the popular players are, unless you've noticed a dip in that popular asset and want to get someone else who you feel will score more points

The game is full of differentials. There'll be 200+ FPL assets (IIRC) who are below 5% ownership

The idea is always to score more points than other managers by the end of the season. If you do this by having the most popular players, there is no penalty for that in FPL. Heck, it's known to be a smart play: team full of excellent template picks, but always ready to pick up one or two great assets flying under the radar

Differentials for the sake of it, and tracking EO to call great assets "boring" just feel so off to me

You could have stopped one.

eze

Both

The sight of Darwin in my squad was making me sick he can’t hit the fudging target

too much imo. keep marti at least

Did you only just get Bruno?

Would you be priced out of Saka if you wait coz otherwise I wouldn’t take a hit to get rid so quick for a hit again especially since it’s Leeds and Leicester next 2

Just the simple Walker to Ake move here, for me. The rest will start and have good fixtures, so no hit is needed. Walker is competing with Lewis and will start fewer games than Lewis based on Pep's current favoured system

It would still be eleven strangers on a pitch.

Yes

Yep

No, wait till tomorrow until you're priced out of it. 🙄

Think Ake is Pep's chosen one this season.

Hopefully near a big DGW.

i think 27 is a bgw and 28 dgw so probably 26.

WC33, 34 or when I think my team needs big changes

3 scenarios for me:
1)in dgw29 and build a team that’s gonna mostly have players also for dgw34 where I want to BB(gonna need to FH32 in this option)
2)in gw33 in order to BB34
3)in gw34 if I go BB29

Bank that 0.2m. Martinelli's ran his race imo.

I started the game after restart.. am I still eligible to enter LMS?

Ake

Still too early to tell.. Ake might get negative point, who knows 🙂

Solid move for the DGW. Just be prepared for the heartbreaks for benching Shaw and possibly Toney 🙂

Very nice team and 6.6m in the bank tells its own story about the demise of Salah, TAA, KDB, Son et al this season.

Hard to quibble with the transfer you're contemplating even though I prefer Nketiah as the third Arsenal player to have in my team (realise that involves a -4).

He was always a great keeper ; his adaptation to the English game was rough - not as easy as La Liga and his confidence went.

Effectively only a -2 this GW with a high GW25 upside so why not?

Yes for me

Thinking of expected points, I'm not sure about this. If you justified getting Bruno recently, I don't see how those reasons would have changed much when he faces Leeds and Leicester next. Especially not enough for a hit to get rid

Brentford and Man City are capable defences atm. Yes, Arsenal might score once or twice in each match, but I personally don't see routs in either... And their attackers usually share returns anyway, without an explosive talisman like Rashford and Haaland

I wouldn't move Bruno to an Arsenal mid this week or before GW25. I personally skipped him because I didn't see enough goal threat to get him, but I'm referring to the reasons *you* got him here. It can't be just the presence of two fixtures, because there have been many DGW blanks and disappointments this season already

If affordable, just Almiron to Odegaard works for me due to Almiron's dipped form and stats (if that's the reason you're selling). The hit is DGW-chasing imo, as both sold players can haul vs Leeds and Bournemouth - defences which are far worse atm than Brentford and City

Taking your 2nd half league by storm and hopefully I can keep it up 😀
