    Anyone taking a punt on Eddie Nketiah with a home fix against Leicester up next for his debut?

        Oh I think he starts, they paid a lot of money for him.

          Maatsen, Archer, Carvalho, Rutter. Plenty of examples of lots of money being paid for bench players this year. I also think it’s very likely Nketiah doesn’t start. Gone are the days of the fee paid confirming that.

    Thoughts on Mitoma or Eze for next GW?
    Or take another Murphy price drop and go Wood to JP (otherwise I can bench Wood)?

      Gabriel to Robertson
      Gordon to Rogers
      Jota to Salah
      Isak to Pedro
      Hall to Rico Lewis
      Barco to Greaves

      3FTs banked

      Feels like a very boring wildcard, tempted to do Saka & Wood to Sterling & Havertz to make things a bit more interesting but that can maybe wait for the Leicester game, confident Sterling locks down the left wing but need to see it first.

        Sterling will be a rotation option. Sterling couldn’t lock down a place last season with my less competition. With Martinelli and Trossard around starts will be shared around.

          Disagree, Trossard has shown his best role is as an impact sub & Martinelli has lost his form completely, Sterling will make that left spot his.

          Saying they will share mins goes without saying but Sterling will emerge as his preference there.

            Last season is irrelevant, he’s not at Chelsea now.

            His relationship with Arteta is why he’s here, how he was used at Chelsea doesn’t come into it.

              He’s at Arsenal because Chelsea needed rid of a 300K a week player they had publicly stated won’t start a single game for them. It’s not like Arteta swooped for him with his stock high.

                You think Arsenal signed him to do Chelsea a favour? Interesting take, Arsenal been trying to get Nico Williams & couldn’t, we’ve been after a winger all season, he was a market opportunity with Chelsea paying 60% of his wages.

                He’s here because Arteta wanted a wide forward.

                  7 months, 3 days ago

                  Taking a player on loan and paying less than half of his wages doesn’t scream “This is the guy I want to start each week in a title challenge”.

                  I think Sterling is a good signing for Arsenal but he’s far from a fpl option in the foreseeable future.

                  Again, compared to Eze and Mbeumbo he is not a viable option.

                    In answer to your question ‘why guess’ there are two types of fantasy player in the modern game.

                    Player A - The old Skool manager who still likes to make judgment calls & live or die by the decision they make to chase the thrill of the win & who backs their judgement.

                    Player B - The Modern Day clone - A manager so paralysed by the fear of failing that they can’t think for themselves or make a decision unless the Warlords of FPL Twitter/YouTube endorse it with the security blanket of millions making the same move at the same time once the Warlords give their blessing.

                    That’s why people still guess, I guess.

                      BTW, I didn’t say I’m getting Sterling in, I said I’m very tempted but I’ve made a good start so can see how it all shakes out, by GW10 I know I’ll be proved right here.

                      Sorry my use of logic triggered you so much you turned to pointless insults. You complain about people relying on endorsements in a thread where you literally posted your thoughts for comment - can’t make it up.

                      Relying on sound logic and relying on copying others is not the same thing.

                      Random guessing is fine, fpl should be fun first and foremost. But don’t get triggered if your random guesses are critiqued when you post them on a message board!

            But that’s just a guess at the moment, there’s no evidence to actually support that. Same with the Nketiah comment elsewhere. In fpl you don’t want to be randomly guessing if a player will play when there’s so many options that are nailed.

              You don’t say, that’s all you’re doing too.

              I trust my guess over yours, actually knew Arsenal would sign him as soon as he dropped that statement, call it instinct.

              BTW, Eddie turned down Forest to go to Palace, that was his preference, he hasn’t gone there to sit on the bench.

                And you might prove right but my main point is why guess at all. Sterling is a similar price to the likes of Eze and Mbeumbo who are completely nailed, the main attacking force of their teams and on penalties. Even if Sterling plays he won’t be any of these.

                Who is Nketiah replacing in the lineup?

        For the next 2 gws, Salah's ownership will rise a lot hence it will be important to have him imo, specifically in gw5 when most Salah owners will captain him. Jota might do well too so it might be a bit of a sideway move but it still has a bigger chance of working out than not.

        Saka has a tendency of doing well against Spurs, and he looks like the main man in that Arsenal team this season. But if you are planning to bring him back in gw6 then it's viable imo as going without Salah next 2 doesn't sit well with me. Makes even more sense if you are doing it for free.

        Depends who you sold. If was player who had already risen 0.1 you lose that 0.1 selling because haven't double risen

        You have to be clothed to get the price rises.

      Morning all,
      Which option looks better for the next 2 fixtures? Will be wildcarding soon anyway I think.
      A) Murphy + Hall —-> Eze + Konsa/Dunk (2 FT)
      B) Wood + Hall —-> Joao pedro + Munoz/Rico (2 FT)

      I like B better because I would much prefer Munoz/Rico for the upside and pedro eze I expect similar points.

      Is it worth to buy

      1. Ait-Nouri and Digne, seems good at attacking possibilities?
      Also the greatest question is who of those will be best at the keep ?

      2. Kepa? Verbruggen ? Flekken ? Ramsdale ?

      3. Will Jhon Duran replace Watkins, Watkins seems out of form, really bad, during Duran shows huge improvements?

      My team now. I think activating wildcard is a no brainer. Talk me out of it.

      Flekken (Valdimarsson)
      Konsa Robinson Gvardiol (Zinchenko - Harwood-Bellis)
      Eze - Salah - Gordon- Garnacho( Winks )
      Haaland - Isak - Jao Pedro

      1.7 itb
      Valdimarsson-Sánchez
      Zinchenko-Robertson
      Garnacho-Madueke
      Gordon-Adama
      Isak - Havertz

        Looks like a solid squad to me, especially with both Haaland and Salah, while Eze has some decent games coming up. You want to consider the Zinchenko -Robbie move to gain more bench depth and defending quality. Other than that I’d keep it.
        Madueke feels like chasing last week’s points. Garnacho has Southampton coming up. Isak is off the mark and next up is Wolves.
        You may take a beating with Flekken vs City, but the long view is quite solid for Brentford.

      W'C draft or shall I prioritise Salah in aswell ??

      Henderson
      Trent , Lewis Robinson
      Palmer Saka Jota Diaz Rogers
      Haaland Pedro

      Fabianski Porro Greaves UiJo

        Looks good. Maybe take out Saka, Jota, Diaz, Rogers for Salah, 4.5m plus two good options?
