Minutes played + late returns: Every FPL player on international duty

Bednarek

Probably Greaves who should be back this week but unlikely any of them get you much in the way of points- better to stretch to Andersen at 4.3

filter the transfers list on FPL to 4m and sort by mins played. I've got Hardwood-Bellis, he plays and that's all one can expect from 4m this season.

Greaves or THB if you can go to 4.1

Burgess from Ipswich played the last four games 90 mins at 3.9. Don't know if he is nailed long term? Dara O'Shea is overlooked imo at 4.0. Scored four goals last season for Burnley and started every game from GW4 onwards.

I'm sure he will be starting. I guess there is the small chance he could be a little jet-lagged.

He will have been on a private jet so can’t see him not playing- Arsenal need him too much particularly with White out

Never thought I would say this at the start of the season. But I think he is needed to defend Chris Wood at set pieces. Don't see Arteta going without him. Forest is a tricky opponent.

He has yet to play Everton away! But really depends who else you have. I have Wood who I prefer to bench vs ARS than Mbeumo and I think others have similar choices.

To add to that, all 16 points for BRE have come at home!

I have a similar dilemma. I may play Rogers and Bench Mbeumo unless I just bench Havertz

Weird way to look at it. Look at what the fixtures were. It was Liverpool, City, United, Tottenham, Fulham.

I would be thinking Isak and Welbeck for the here and now, Jackson and JP for the longer term

Isak and JP both on pens

Easy yes. Just make sure you have cover for Semenyo for when he gets his 5th yellow.

Have to wait for Pressers

Palmer was spotted in training on monday already, so assume he'll be fit

I'd definitely lose Haaland and take a punt if I still had my WC intact.

You probably know Jackson on 4 yellows.

Maz

Maz is probably a wait and see on how Amorim sets up the team. Robinson you need to be able to bench GWs13-16, I don't think either are great picks short term.

Palmer, pretty much similar fixture difficulty in next 2 GWs. So no point wasting a transfer.

That’s a good question to ask and a close one considering Bruno’s form and fixtures. I’ve got both but I’d probably go with Palmer. You never know when he’s going to haul big again and you won’t need to sell him soon.

Most things they do are pushing for engagement.

Its same for everyone afterall. I doubt they will announce anything before 1st Jan.

My guess is they didn’t know/weren’t able to develop the mystery chip in time for GW1 so have kept it a “mystery” to buy an extra 6 months to work on it

Isn't it likely to be an extra wildcard or FH and not that mysterious?

Mazraoui is where the fire is

and Dyche as well

To be honest if Mbeumo isn’t fit for this weekend it would be a blessing as I have 8 options for attack this week and don’t know who to bench

Don’t see why you have two playing keepers. Of those two, Brighton’s defence is shite and I was considering Sanchez but rumours are he will be dropped for Jorgensson. You could downgrade one and upgrade Faes. The rest I like but of course the caveat that I think you’ll miss
Haaland

Also I think I’d go Semenyo over Johnson

I’d make that move, yes.
We are rubbish.

I’d rather ESR.

I prefer Salah though.

Yes. Emile will come in handy.

Saka

Personally, I’d be tempted to hold. I’m signing Son on wc and no Bruno or Saka. The next 4 for Arsenal aren’t as good as the ticker looks and after the next 2 Man U have a tough few games and unsure how Amorim will set up. Son could destroy the City right flank then Fulham at home, where Spurs tend to be better, then three games which look ok from an attack perspective (especially CHE and sou). I just don’t think there’s a rush to get either of the others until 16/17 at the expense of Son (disclaimer: could backfire badly)

I’m sticking with Son. He’s been a big part of Spurs attacks that have caused better City defences than this problems - and many goals conceded - over recent years. And some nice fixtures to come afterwards

Lewis

Lewis

If the Hall switch suits your long-term plans, I’d make it this week. Porro isn’t worth his price, and I prefer Hall to Lewis this week

To buy? To play?

To play,
Both away. Slightly edge Mbeumo as Fulham are better than Everton.
I’d be trying to play both though if possible.

The only way you’re getting Salah in is dumping Haaland or Palmer for a -4. Palmer would be definitely staying.
Are you prepared to take out Haaland for a -4?

Almost every one has Salah now. Getting him will only keep you floating instead of dropping like a stone. Betting against him and captain Haaland can get you back up. Maybe transfer out Solanke or Wood to Cunha or J.P / Welbeck to maximize points this week? If you don't want to captain Haaland you could also captain Palmer. Wait for the pressers, some flagged players in there..

How much cash available?

Trent to cheapie, Solanke to Pedro and Johnson to Salah is an option if you can afford.

Are you a fan of Audioslave?

B. Live a little

Zaha, Toney, van Aanholt, Mbeumo, Onana…

Tough to predict City at this stage.

One would expect them to have used the IB as an opportunity to revive themselves for the game this weekend. Losing 3 games in a row is unlike Pep ,however, I’m pretty sure it would be an attacking game from City with goals because Spurs are simply shite, IPS just ate them in their own backyard
