    1. Haaland*
    2. Watkins*
    3. Solanke*
    4. KdB*
    5. Foden
    6. Bowen
    7. Palmer
    8. Gordon*

    * ones I think I've ruled out but could be persuaded otherwise with good justification

      Hahaha. That is a beautiful front 8. Too good.

      It feels like you've already narrowed it down to bowen based on fixtures.

      Have you got TAA in this squad as well?

        Correct, currently Bowen based on fixture, but just seen he could start up front vs the defence. Thinking more Foden now, maybe lol

        No TAA, have Trippier - Estupinan - Porro playing with Saliba & Taylor on the bench

      Wow, great squad. In previous years that would be great because your bench would be great and used, but this year (mainly due to the insanely stupid 5 subs!), literally everyone who isnt injured still plays, and therefore the bench is never utilised. Yet another reason why FPL is not what it was. Hope you choose wisely pal!

      I have the exact same front 8 and decided to bench Foden just before coming on here (bus team had Bowen on bench).

      I also have the same 3 playing defenders, with Gabriel and Branthwaite on the bench.

      I genuinely hope you have an amazing gameweek!

      His output isnt great (given that he is a Man City attacker). But also his price is amazing (given that he is a Man City attacker). I have had him from the start but also wanted to sell him since GW 5, ha. Difficult one, but a keep for me!

    Just watched the AFCON Conga v Guinea on delay (yes i am the viewer!). The Co-commentator was Daniel Amokachi!! If i recall he was amazing for Everton for 22 weeks in the 90s. Genuinely thought he was great, but never lasted in the Prem sadly. (was that when Everton were famous for being racist?)

        In the QFs, South Korea beat Australia in AET (through a Son goal). They play Jordan in the Semi-Finals (06 Feb - today) and are very much favourites to reach the final (10 Feb). There's no third place match in the Asia Cup.

        So I'd say back in time for GW 25 where Spurs will play Wolves (H) on 17 Feb.
