FPL notes: Diaz hat-trick, City slump + De Bruyne’s first mins

There were contrasting nights for the Premier League’s top two in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening.

Liverpool thrashed last season’s almost unstoppable German juggernaut 4-0 at Anfield, meaning they top the table both home and abroad.

Manchester City, however, continue to toil. A 4-1 pummelling in Portugal means it’s now three defeats in a row in league and cup.

We pick out the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from both fixtures in these Scout Notes.

Early sub off again for Rogers. His minutes are becoming a concern.

  Think it’s actually because he’s being rested so he can play every game?

    Yeah, I have no worries about Rogers minutes. No-one can play 90 week in week out in every competition, has to get some rest sometimes. Coming off early in CL should hopefully be beneficial for the weekend.
    
    More importantly, people need to remember this is a 5m player ....

Anyone any idea how to see Son's details in the price change sites? Putting his name in and for some reason he doesn't come up

      I figured it out guys, put a space first then type Son and he appears. No idea why you need to do that though.

        If I had to guess, the hyphen in his surname is messing with it. But his surname doesn't actually appear. I think his surname is there for alphabetical reasons and differentiating, but its just invisible to us.

  Yeah, it’s weird. I always search Spurs and go it that way. Was on +20 or something when I looked earlier - thought it would be higher

  Simply increase 'Display --- Players' from 10 to 25 and you'll see Son down there.

  I'm planning to sell Solanke for Havertz next GW, so.....
  
  A is the least bad of the two. I might keep Solanke after all

  A should prove a longer ride. Must admit to being interested in Havertz back at 8m though.

  Solanke owners likely selling from 12 so depends if you think the fixtures are good enough to hold after Ipswich

  Similar situation. Currently playing McNeil over him and I am not sure. I played McNeil last week and that was a mistake.

  Semenyo is good for 10 games then trade out at a good profit, hopefully.

  Maybe, but as you have Salah anyway it does feel slightly iffy. Spurs could score 5 and Solanke blanks, is what I mean, holder btw.

  I dont think city is a team which Will be in a bad patch for so long. Even if they will, haaland will not be out of form forever.
  He has gigantic ownership. So any decent haul might really hurt as he will be Most captained always
