Captaincy might be the deciding factor for Palmer v Salah

Can't have them all.
Lowest ceiling across Saka, Salah, Palmer is probably Saka imo.

Or you punt on Madueke or similar in Chelsea but would wait to see who gets mins, which might allow Salah too

I'd hold Saka this week and get Salah in for GW4

This is exactly why I have Haaland Salah Palmer Saka at this early stage

This seems likely to end up similarly to your Gordon -> Eze move. I understand chasing upside but I don't like selling good assets when they have a good fixture.

Yes absolutely go for it.

I dis Saka > Palmer last night. Palmer is going to rise and I think he’s a must have for the run of Chelsea games. Arsenal have some tricky games coming up so I figure I can risk going without Saka for a few weeks until I WC

Let me know what you are doing so I can do the opposite

Strongly considering the same move.

If I don't do it this week, I feel the need to do it next week will be greater anyway.

I don't see a major haul from Saka vs BRI, tot, mci over the next 3.

Whilst I do see that from Palmer vs PAL, bou, whu

After that I see a potential switch back to Saka for their fixture swing.

I have 9 of those on my WC so like it
I’ll be captaining Salah in 4 and 5
Is Johnson nailed? Didn’t start the first game. I’m going Greaves.

That looks fine if you want Haaland and going to cap him or Palmer then agree no Salah needed. I am on Salah with no Haaland atm as I prefer Isak & Watkins over Jota/Wissa

Get and captain Palmer

Either Palmer or no one from Chelsea imo

Bruno/Jota to Palmer/Rogers but think 0.1m short now , Isak has good fixtures coming up

Yes

Yes

for this week, yes.
both Bruno and Bowen have great fixtures after

Yes

Semenyo more nailed

I hope so. Relying a lot more towards last seasons performance (Isak/Newcastle attack and Spurs defence) than this season (small sample size, primarily GW2)

I'm a bit on the fence about this one. As an owner myself I've toyed with the idea and in the end I'm probably holding fire but its not really a vote of confidence in Isak, more that Watkins doesn't seem capable of playing beyond the hour mark at the moment. He's been non-existent really from an FPL and an actual point of view and they have not looked great from two good fixtures. Yes 10 men vs Southampton but I've said before, for a club with top 4 aspirations I'd expect most top 4 sides to comfortably dispatch Southampton even with 10. He's by no means a bad asset but I expect Spurs to beat them on what we've seen so far.

4 goals in 2 games at home to Spurs. Wouldn't rule it out

How has he played?

I'm waiting

Depends on the rest of your defence

Gordon at home vs leaky Angeball Spurs?

Isak not a write off yet. Solanke injured doesn't count

I think we've already (with hindsight) learnt something for next season which is that in a summer where there were multiple international tournaments going on, just because you played all of pre-season or most of it doesn't mean you will be a starter in the league. Turns out not only do the results mean nothing, the minutes don't mean much beyond the very short-term.

Imagine not being able to predict Schar being sent off in the first game limiting Isak's chances of points.

Ideally both

Fortress St James Park vs Angeball. I wouldn't bet on Spurs

C eventually but i'd roll unless quansah is due another fall?

Rogers, just mind

Salty question

Not much between them, maybe the price difference is the deciding factor and what you could do with it

So you're saying give the goal to Sarr and Eze is due a goal again? I like that narrative

That's an Eze goal. Deflection is never own goal.

Getting chances but ultimately wasteful.

Looked about 5m

yo yo outlook. They're a parachute team worst case scenario

Murphy --> Mitoma. Two brilliant fixtures. Especially if you're looking to wc in GW6

Most will say no but I say yes if you are going to be priced out of what you really want.

I had a v strong team but want Salah, palmer, halaand and Raya long term and with all going up my hand was forced.

I usually wc early as you can lock in price changes and also set the tram up and save transfers moving forward for a mini revamp if needed.

Chiesa deal done to Liverpool

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1828760390320189550?t=cfrLgwo7L35427e6LZ3tHg&s=19

Yes I think Salah will start most games though just come off early to keep fresh

Chiesa can basically play all these positions so not exactly to do with Salah but more for squad depth.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-chiesa/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/341092

Top players coming off at 60/70 mins is going to become the new normal thanks to the new European Super League.

Chiesa still a crap signing though. Even if he gets fit, and it's a big if, Elliott and Doak will show him up, heck even Szobo being played wide on the right is better.

I am pondering B, see below

There is chance

ESR?

Chris Wood?

Keep for me

Yes please - I want to buy him, but need him to drop in price to do it

I would

Could have been 5m quite easily imo.
