      Raya is a waste of an Arsenal spot. Their defence is too solid for him to get anything except six points.

        I’d be happy for a Gabriel, Timber, Caliaflori triple up. Even if they lose the cs, all 3 of them are capable of attacking points regularly

    Is anybody seriously considering/actively moving towards/currently fielding 5 at the back? I look at the points for players and the defenders are where it is at. The DEFCON addition this season has changed things up and I wonder if our formations need rethinking with it. I cannot decide whether I want to do it or not. I started the season big at the back (Gabriel, VVD and Cucurella - currently only have the former and the latter in my team with the latter leaving after Wolves) so I suspected big at the back may be a thing this season but got it wrong as to how to capitalise on it (5 at the back rather than 3 premium to keep to the traditional formations). Any thoughts?

    its becoming painfully obvious Haaland+Mateta and either 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 is the way forward

      But which midfielders are performing? Rice and Caicedo. Semenyo has gone quiet and most people who have him are shipping now. I can’t really think of any standout performers in midfield. Forwards, the only two are those you mention.
