It’s time for another team reveal as we approach Gameweek 17 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Dan Wright – who you can find here on X – has five top 10k finishes, which means he ranks 17th in our Career Hall of Fame.

No Bruno Fernandes (£9.3m) meant another red arrow in Gameweek 16, with my overall rank slipping to just outside the top 100k.

    Raya
    Timber - Lacroix - O'Reilly - Thiaw
    Foden - Saka - Bruno F - Bruno G
    Thiago - Haaland

    Dubravka - Gudmundsson - Guiu - KDH

    Would you sell Stach for Tavernier and then play him for
    A: Bruno G
    B: Raul Jimenez
    C: Roll forward transfer and play both Brundo G and Raul J.?

      No not worth a FT he will play CM and is reliant on long shots and free kicks

    Still can't decide which one to bench below. Everton's midfield weakened. Fulham AFCON weakened. Brentford attack weakened.

    a) Wilson (NFO)
    b) Rice (eve)
    c) Thiago* (wol)

    Probably Rice?

      Yeah I would be benching Rice as lowest ceiling. I’m not opposed to benching Wilson but doubt that would be a popular opinion

        Yeah Wilson has given me a great points boost so feels like I have to keep starting him, though I'm expecting Fulham to drop off in form.

    Start one:

    A. Szob (tot)
    B. Andersen (NFO)

    My take is that Szob will be fit if that makes any difference

    Why don't we have solid info on Thiago. So annoying...

    It's gonna be a massive fail either way this GW.

    1. Sell for Ekitike -> Thiago plays and hauls
    2. Keep - he doesn't play and Ekitike hauls

      This is my right now. Probably the greatest dilemma since just before the Rubicon was crossed. 🙂

      Foden is arguably essential, but your team looks good. Think it depends on when you want Foden in.
