    I’m genuinely ashamed of every single FPL point I’ve earned through Pascal Groß.

    I thought he was the most boring pick imaginable and he wasn’t even remotely close to making my Wildcard… until the last minute, when I desperately needed Isak in my team and somehow ended up throwing Groß in as the sacrifice.

    Pascal, I owe you a massive apology. I doubted you, disrespected you, and basically picked you as a side effect of wanting Isak.

    And now you’re out here earning me points. I’m sorry.

      Don't think Saka is worth the money. Maybe later. But, at that price he is easy to swap for someone else. Otherwise a good team.

        like you see mgw ball yesterday, gross consistency, cherki still getting starts (his ceiling is so high even if mins are abit dodgy) cant get any, watching them want to own so badly, all look class.

        its the one thing that makes me think haaland over bruno. i dont want to do it, but 352 with haaland will beat out 451 i think sadly. decisions decisions

    Looks like I missed the boat on Gross but I'm not even considering picking him up at this point. Don't think it makes sense to chase points considering their brutal upcoming schedule including European games being thrown into the mix.

    Planning on WC during international break. Wanting to use this gw FT on a replacement for Shaw with a budget up to 5.0.
    For a one week pick Everton defenders are looking a decent pick, thinking Mykolenko or Maitland Niles. Any better picks?
    (Current defenders are Ajer, De Cyper, Caladiori, Nien).

    Calafiori, De Cuyper, Konsa, Egan, Davis
