      Sold for Gordon as part of enabling move for Diaz - Salah GW9. Did it yesterday when it seemed like he hadn't trained, before the news came through that he travelled (due to fine margins for Salah budget & having to go out & switch off from FPL in the evening). Will look at getting him back GW12.

      I fancy JWP over Bowen as the long term West Ham asset.

      Bowen more explosive but he's in the price range where you'll always be tempted to upgrade/downgrade him to get other assets in.

      Don't like 2x fodder in the front 8 - you'll be playing 4 or 5 defenders most weeks which likely won't work out well long term

        Will eventually move to a 3-5-2 with Tripps, Udogie and Chukwuemeka out for Estu, 4.0 fodder defender and Mitoma. That's the plan if there are no injuries or suspensions...

        Got Son in due to uncertainty of Saka's fitness, and also Son has pretty good fixtures after the Liverpool game. Will def get Saka back soon!

      Not mad but Forest defence is substantially improved this season & Brentford having a bit of a wobble. Would start Saka if you think Arteta will

    Saka downgraded to a yellow flag, 75% chance of playing.

      Percentages don't really matter. He travelled with the squad to Bournemouth, and trained in Friday. (Not in pics, on purpose.)
