      Gabriel should be fine, the risk of doing the moves today is that one of your players on the Thursday matches gets injured / suspended and you'll have no easy way of fixing that.

        Worth noting price drops are difficult to predict correctly. Ragabolly currently at 52% accuracy for price drops this season (highest compared to other price prediction models). At - 98%, there is a good chance he drops tonight.

            Does same/similar xG mean anything if one is a striker and one is a defender. Assuming a striker can finish and get a goal or two but a defender not converting that xG will be no surprise.

          Kinda pee'd off by the Gabriel goal. Made no sense to sell Timber (who also did well), yet still lost out.

          Raya
          Timber VVD Thiaw
          Foden Cunha Szoboszlai Bruno G Minteh*
          Haaland Ekitike
          Dubravka // Alderete Keane Guiu

          Providing Minteh is out I'll just bench with and deal with later. Ideally if KDH is back soon, he'll become that.

          1 FT. 2.7 ITB.

          A) Timber > Gabriel
          B) Cunha > Saka
          C) Minteh > Rice*
          D) A+ BorC
          E) Other?

          Obviously in hindsight would rather have Pickford too. Annoying if Bruno never got injured, if have him.

            In the 17 other games they conceded 12 big chances ex. penalties in total, pretty much all 0 or 1 per game!

                  Chalobah honestly looks like a great pick this season, anyone else you could sell to get to Gabriel?

                    Thanks, I've actually gone with a different option and benched Chalobah

                Tarkowski’s defcons
                Or
                Timber’s attacking potential ?

                Apparently you can't play FH #1 in GW19 and FH #2 in GW20. I didn't know that.

                  It’s very clear in the rules:

                  The Free Hit chip cannot be played in consecutive Gameweeks. So, if the first chip is played in Gameweek 19, the second Free Hit cannot be made active until Gameweek 21.

                Help please:
                A) Rogers for Rice
                B) Paqueta + Bowen for Rice + Thiago (-4)

                    A if you have to, but I don’t think Rice’s knock was too big by the sound of it. You could just roll tbh. I wouldn’t take a hit for two West Ham attackers, and I don’t know if it’s worth shuffling around low price mids who don’t score much anyway

                  Just did, for free:

                  Raya to Pickford (4.5 pts per match for Pickford, insanely good clean sheet potential for awhile)
                  and
                  Chalobah to Gabriel (The beast is back)

                  Yes, it's a slight bummer but I had to ship Raya due to too many Gooners (also rockin' with Timber).

                  And a tidy 0.9 itb for my next adventure.

                  Gabriel's price is going to fly
                  He peaked at £6.6m with 5.4m owners in GW11
                  In about 20 minutes he's at £6.4m but with just 1.9m owners

                  This Arteta quote:

                  "We had to rush him a little bit, but yeah he was comfortable, very happy.
                  We had to bring him earlier than expected, so we have to manage now the minutes, and the load." [BeIN]

                  ...and the fact that next game is on Saturday and then it's Liverpool midweek makes he think he could plausibly get a rest vs. BOU
                  but the price thing makes me still want to move early on him, I don't want to wait for say GW21 or 22 and pay 7m for him or something!

                    Yes. I'm ready to hit a -8 for him.
