Link doesn't work.

Christ, football fans can be dicks. Is Wissa a rat too because of the way he left Brentford?

Is C even an option?

Have to play de cuyper OOP

Coin flip A or B I guess

100%. Good score. I've incredibly managed to 32. Mostly down to De Cuyper

NO. Be patient. only first game! information gathering stages. stay strong.

Any new team should always be given minimum two games home and away for the players that played.

Gvardiol & Muharemovic

Gvardiol and Muha but Bijol is solid as well

Gvardiol. Not interested in O'Reilly?
Muharemovic, I think. Consider Justin myself

Yeah. I wouldn't do that. Bruno could easily haul next week

It is one week too early for me. City were not great and playing away. United should be better at home. But as a non-Haalander my main priority in the next few weeks is going to be shifting Bruno to Haaland (either in week 3 or week 4 depending on whether i FH3)

Not worth it. Sangare won’t typically score more than 5 points in a normal week, and could easily end up with 2. He’s not the kind of player you take a hit for. I think Utd will show a reaction at home v Ipswich, and they were probably a little unlucky not to end up with any goals against Hull in the first place

Hard to settle on 3 Arsenal though.

Could be an equal choice of about 7.

You may well be right

Haaland seems like he’ll be great as well. I know he didn’t score today, but he had a whole hatful of chances

I think Szsoboslai stays on penalties after the conviction with which he took it. Wirtz + Isak are flakes.

Tbh I'd be more worried about his general play than the 20 or so points per season penalties offer. He looked invisible in open play

Feels like maybe 20% that Isak could take the next one (especially if maybe early in the game next week) but yeah Szobo just feels like the one. Fell into the Wirtz trap again!

In the same boat. In hindsight, why didnt we see it was at least a toss up between him and Isak and that meant much better value.

Anyway, Wirtz could have scored if not for the good save so lets wait and see what happens next week

You keeping wirtz ? Am selling for sangare I think

Szobo is the mini BrunoF of Pool. He is a season keeper if fit.

Ipswich at home. Hold for 1 more week.

Hold. Mbeumo 0.7 xGI against Hull. I know he don’t put anything to bed but his underlying numbers are always mad and his returns will come.

Bruno F the top scoring FPL asset in the game after Carrick was appointed last year.

It’s the first game of the season at Old Trafford against promoted opposition and they need a reaction after losing to Hull.

I expect goals from Utd

Wiat for Wednesday, if he scores keep him.

Reply fail to the above

What? Szoboszlai is incredible value if he's on pens. Sangare is good individually too.

Sangare will be better value than Szobo I’m almost certain.

That doesn’t mean Szobo won’t tick over with attacking returns. He takes corners as well, pens is normally around +5 goals for the season. He could deffo get to the 5-10 range for both G+A this year. He’ll be unexciting but probably decent and unlikely to need a transfer out too

Could be an anomaly imo. Isak to take in more "forgiving" environments?

Yh, I know he got one assist, but when he does that it really feels like Liverpool are playing two 8s and a 10, with zero protection for the 35-year old Van Dijk and inexperienced Jaqcuet at the back. They’ll struggle to defend against pace of that continues.

I’m not expecting the Liverpool defence to be very good for quite a few weeks, hence I swerved them for the start of the season

Honestly I think Gravenberch is trading off that one good season with Slot. IMO he is nowhere near the quality needed to anchor a 2 man midfield and provide balance and stability to a top team

I agree with this, a knee jerk that may actually come off

I’ll be rolling though

I had both so it didnt matter but he didnt look good this game. Thinking of bringing in Haaland for him but would probably keep ome more gw.

Tbh in some ways I was more sacred of him taking it. Did not fancy him to score it at all

Wirtz

I think it’s DCL

Brentford a better team than Forest and Liverpool more attacking than Leeds so Wirtz probably more likely to get something.

Would absolutely be playing Tzolis if I had him

Wait, are you wildcarding?

I have both

I would definitely go for Gabriel over Cala on WC, Gabriel will reach 60 mins every game he’s fit for, Cala will start to suffer early subs/rotation as Champions League becomes a thing.

Gabriel will also never be subbed on, so you won’t get one point cameos like you might occasionally with Calafiori

Calafiori isnt 100% nailed, but he is on form now so would start the next gw unless injured which unfortunately happens to him a lot. I have him over Gab btw.

yes. gabriel should be a lock regardless imo unless you are desperate for 3 other arsenal players long term. think thats really the only reason to not own, if you think the value in other cheaper arsenal assets cannot be ignored

On WC I would prefer Gabriel if the new structure allow it. Just makes it much more simple going forward.
Is he as thrilling to watch when in open play? No. But you don't need to wear a diaper every time Arsenal have a free kick or corner 😉 There will probably also be the odd game where Hincapie gets to start.

Saka - Gabriel - Calafiori/Tzolis/Ødegaard is the best way to go unless Konsa nails down a spot.

Maybe

Yeah Villa are in dire situation. Expecting a return or 2 for Tzolis against them

I'd probably be tempted to captain any of: Gabriel, Calafiori, Tzolis, Ødegaard or Saka tbh.

Not like Villa looks likely to score. Arsenal will probably be the highest CS% odds again next GW

lol not a chance

I think this is correct. The choice i think is between Szob and Thiago

Yikes

I think it’s Isak or Szoboslai

I’d play Thiago over Isak because he’s more of a focal point, more nailed, and on pens. Szoboslai I don’t think has much outside of pens and set piece threat, but those points do come in steadily

You could also consider Semenyo

I wouldn’t bench any of the other attackers

I think you probably have the defence right, though it might be Ajer over Maguire. Not 100% sure on that call

That order

is ndiaye not an option?

Bench order? Transfers in? For a long time or a short time?

Sangare the best value of the three in the long run imo

KDH might be the best over the next 5, though I still don’t trust he’ll keep over performing to the level he did last year

Stach a solid pick

I don’t know if I’d take a hit just to BB with a 4.5 fwd who probably won’t play

I’d roll if I were you

Avoid the hit and save BB I think. I don't like Raya as an option because there are better Arsenal assets to have

I mean moving to City has probably reduced his DefCon prospects already imo

Not sure he’s worth 6.5

Thats a lot of chips

Cherki a big risk for minutes I feel

Not sure how good Newcastle are yet so don’t know about the double up

I like Trafford, I thought about him over Lammens but went with Lammens for the fixtures in the end. Maybe have been the wrong call on my part

I’d say wait till GW3 comes around and review, if your strategy has changed this much in one week, imagine what it will look like next week!
