        Got swayed by people selling taking the punt on him. Thinking of past glories. Exact money to afford it, made it tempting. Looked good on paper, fixtures wise.

    I don't usually like hyperbole - especially when it comes to complaining - but I do think this is the most boring Premier League season I can remember. Both in terms of competition (title and relegation sealed by February) and the quality and excitement of the football. That Manchester derby just epitomised it.

    I'm sure there are several causes, but I think the complaints about player fatigue must be justified. They're just not performing at their peak.

    (Forest's success obviously the exception. And, needless to say, VAR contributes massively to ruining the spectacle).

      Don't think it is VAR. Think it is just that Liverpool have won it and the relegation teams are all but mathematically relegated very early in the season. i.e., there is no jeopardy. That also means lots of teams have thrown the towel in with respect to the PL and are focusing on other targets e.g., FA Cup, CL, Europa League etc.

      Most of the traditional big teams aren't playing well.
      Promoted teams looked doomed from the off.
      LFC have it sewn up pretty early.
      Forest, Cherries, CPL been some bright spots.
      Not been a great league.

      100% agree with Var - needs to be adjusted - destroying the game - what
      is the point of fans attending - geared for home audience - atmosphere - celebration of goal lost.

      More hamstring injuries due to the way the game is being played out from the back
      & stop/start rushing to close down which has rob lots of the top teams of first eleven players

    Bench Boost this, or too risky now with rotation?

    Raya (BRE)
    Gvardiol (CRY) Munoz (dgw) Schar (DGW)
    Salah (WHU) Saka (BRE) Murphy (DGW) Sarr (dgw) Palmer (IPS)
    Mateta (dgw) Isak (DGW)

      Saka may as well be on the bench, you should get a GK CS at least.

        If I didn't BB, I'd probably play Marmoush & Verbruggen over Raya & Saka.

          Both should be on your bench then. Doesn't look at good then and need to compare it to GW33 BB.

            That's even worse! 4 away games. Thanks though.

    Plan is to BB32 & FH33, current concerns are *

    Realistically only worried about Saka as I see the rest starting in GW32. So what would you do here with 3FTs & 0.5ITB? Saka out for who?

    Allison*
    Konate Cucurella* Munoz
    Salah Palmer* Saka* Murphy
    Isak Mateta Pedro*

        Arsenal double in 33 though v Ipswich and Palace, you'd prob want Saka for it.

        I don't think I'd be losing Munoz, even with the iffy fixtures next week. I am contemplating ditching Saka and FH him back in for 33 if they get knocked out of Europe.

    Brought in Sarr and Rashford on WC this week, too sideways to use 2 FT to swap for Eze and Rogers?

    Rashford's minutes bit of a worry

      See how Villa get on v PSG, Rogers could play 90 and rest at the weekend.

    Palace with an extra days rest going into the Newcastle game. Obviously hoping it can pay dividends for the DGW
