    With Andrey Santos playing does that mean Enzo will play more forward or more defensive?

      I didn't realize how easy Leeds' fixtures have been up til now.

      The only top team they've faced so far is Arsenal and they lost 5-0. They haven't faced any of Liverpool, City, Chelsea, United, even Sunderland.

      I'm thinking I might TC Haaland this week. DGWs look very unlikely and the next best fixture is arguably West Ham in GW17 but that's deep into the Christmas period where rotation could hit and also West Ham would have a whole extra month of Nuno organization to get themselves in order.

      TC13 vs Leeds or TC17 vs WHU?

              I don't think it's as difficult to predict as it's made out to be especially for a FH.

              Pick a player that is in favor and playing well. Guardiola tends to stick to players that do well.

              The problem with Pep roulette is owning them for say a 6 week period. Because after 2 blanks and mediocre performances, the player could be dropped. But week - week it's fairly easy to see who's in good form to select.

              Doku for instance this week is super safe imo. But if he has a quiet night and/or doesn't do great midweek vs Leverkusen maybe next week his % of starting drops.

        Assuming no injuries. Thoughts on a BB here? Seems a good idea to get it out the way so I can put more money in the starting 11 and seems ok.

        Dubravka - Minteh - Mukiele - Gudmundsson

        I have 0.4m to change Gudmundsson to someone else. I'm thinking Konsa if he is fit.

          There's 0 reason to activate FH early. Always best to wait until later since it will basically freeze your current team and funds on a FH are super unlikely to matter.

              I firmly believe the chelsea owner's idea is to get young players for cheap who he can develop and sell for profit.
              He doesn't realise we need a) experience to guide the younger players and b) experience for a bit of direction in moments we didn't train for. Think long throw vs Brentford, Sunderland winner etc.

              Surprised VAR didn't intervene .
              Obviously very subjective

            So far, anyway, it looks like being another week when I should have started Dubravka over Pope.

            Just looking at this guy/gal at 28th in the world, hasn't made a single transfer hasn't used a single chip and probably just stuck with the same team & captain from the start. Wonder if he/she knows what a ridiculously good position they're in

                You're absolutely right - he/she has kep the same team (inc Frimpong playing!!) unchanged and the same capatain (Haaland). Walker, Gibbs-White and Bowen on the bench - in that order!!!

                The current Team Of The Season is well within budget
                Replacing the Calafiori with Munoz & perma captainig Haaland would give you 860 points
                The current leader is on 820 points.
