Impossible to say without knowing your team + sounds like a kneejerk

Squad for reference:

Onana
Chilwell / Gabriel / Estu
Salah / Saka / Rashford / Mitoma / Diaby
Haaland / Wissa

this isn't advice, but if I owned Gabriel, I would probably keep him, unless I got some real news. Its not like Gabriel is injured, he came on. He probably does start next week if he came on. Who knows what the issue was, maybe it was a precaution whilst they did a test or something.

Timber injury, away game, think Gabriel starts next week.

I'm keeping and playing Estu in the two rougher fixtures. Nothing to say he can't get attacking returns from those games

Ars defence clear avoid for me. One of their easiest games of the season and were lucky not to concede more.

Villa - for the wrong reasons

Newcastle. TBH I thought newcastle would do well, but everyone recently has been singing villas praises. I guess it went to Emery's head.

I was so close to picking Barnes, swapped him to Bowen 5 mins before the deadline, but I cant complain.

arsenal barely created any chances

for player maybe Gross, back in midfield and his stats look tasty but i know only Luton at home so

Maupay. Highest xGI (less surprising is he remained goalless)

Also Van Hecke: may have a good case for keeping his place when Webster returns

Newcastle. Didn't expect 5-1 win vs a decent aston villa side

Ye - he would be at home on here because his knee jerked considerable

He's done. Looked like he blew his knee and stretchered off.

I missed the overnight (for me) matches but read he was carried off on a stretcher and taken to local hospital. Manager is more concerned with losing him than he was with losing the match. He was on my bench for rotation - first fire that I need to attend to.

Could be gone for the season.

Sounds like it's season over, same with Buendia. Bad times.
Villa need Ramsey & Moreno back

I like Morris, and might move for him as my third forward in a couple of weeks, barring a price rise.

I can’t remember when but Planet FPL James gave reasons why it be later rather than sooner - it depends how both team do in league cup

By 6.25 pm before the first deadline in fact!

Pau should at least be nailed now - I had Mings for rotation but Villa defence looked awful in the highlights.

absolute smash and grab today, leno saved us so many times already since joining last season

Top 10K is IDs 1-10000

I presume the ‘top 10’ for this game week is those in the top 10k at the start of the week. Ie those with an FPL ID of 1 to 10,000.

Clearly those people are the keen ones who know what they are doing and primarily won’t have used a chip.

It needs a few weeks to run through.

FFS are minding Live FPL for now.

Didn’t say anything- seems to have been tactical so sounds to me Gabriel at risk of rotation going forward depending on opposition

He won’t play Villa every week

Villa had given up playing defense by the time he came in

Kid is a baller, unfairly overshadowed by Maddison

May even start a game or two.

Said before the game that it was tactical apparently

He was dropped to "mix it up" tactically. But they looked exposed after Timber went off.

However I just read Saliba still isn't 100% fit and is playing through pain. So now I'm dubious about doing the sideways Gabriel > Saliba move.

Want

Please do keep us updated.

Sure

Thanks for letting us know

29th, but I have not Salah Rashford or Bruno…

Barnes saved mine blushes for tonight

Have you seen "Flogging a Weghorst"? on the list. 😆 both on 67pts

I look down upon thy 520th place from the lofty heights of 433rd.

Save

What happens if a premium player in midfield or an expensive pick is injured tomorrow or Monday night?

2

Too many good, nailed on options in that price bracket

Not sure on your squad but I'd personally roll if you can.
Rodri is pretty nailed, and occasionally takes up the Gundo role but if I were you I'd downgrade to a playing 4.5m and put that 1m into getting a 5.5 striker or def.

Edouard/Pedro/Nketiah punts or James/Chillwell if you don't have.

Luiz has Everton and Burnley next. Think you can hold and reassess. Take it it's a Salah draft?

Rodri is a defensive mid who averaged 3 ppm last season

No it didn’t.

If we all keep a bit more then yes

Considering moving to James a week early depending on how Chelsea look tomorrow

Will see how the games go tomorrow and if not other fires to put out I may do this.

No chance of any price changes yet?

I am sure Gabriel plays next week as a gooner!

Come & get me if I’m wrong!

Sold him for Saliba

Gabriel to Saliba seems like a criminal waste of a transfer to me

Incredibile waste of a transfer IMO.

Dont bench pedro

Wouldn't want to bench any of the players you just listed tbh. I know that isn't very helpful sorry.

Not keen on benching any of them- all good fixtures.

No idea. Actually makes no sense. Think arteta wants to include Havertz at any cost so he is playing partey but he wants partey to play too so gabriel sacrificed

My read is that Arteta is full of shyte. Gabriel was a precautionary benching due to some type of small niggle, who wouldn't have gone anywhere near the field if Arsenal were up 2 or more goals late, but Arteta's keeping his cards close to the vest by using the "tactical" excuse. Having said that, I'm holding. Gabriel to Saliba is entirely too sideways

Havertz didn’t seem to add anything to Arsenal, still seems like a strange signing…

Half your team still to play so relax

Nothing wrong with this. Why do you wanna change

Save the FT and chill.

Nothing urges or pressing, good call on the 2 x 4.0m GK’s, pretty much sorted there…

Looked good as always, could’ve got attacking returns with couple shots & assists.

Too deep. For an 8.5 mid

But why u need that many funds. Only haaland and Salah are expensive. Reset are cheap

People high in league atm had Ederson

Only until palhinha is back which isn’t long

hold for now

Hold as timber will be out so Arsenal will have to revert back to a back 4. Arsenal could’ve dropped the 3 points today with their stupid experiment with partey at rb so I think Gabriel comes back in

Whatever the reason, FPL is a bit cringe now. Too many paywalls, influencers, leaks, etc.

All the creators trying to get ahead of each other. Now with Twitter ad revenue, it'll be even worse.

Agreed, it does seem odd…never fully understood why insiders leak team sheets, unless there is some sort of betting plan in place - bet against player starting etc, but what that has to do with FPL, am not sure…

I'd imagine it's just some youth player at Arsenal that's told his mate and it's just spread from there. I knew about a serious injury to a player way before the press did and I definitely don't have my ear to the ground.

One theory is 'help out' their mates with subs - likes and subscriptions etc.
But what I think will happen in future managers will clamp down on it. Making dummy teams and dummy line ups so they will have the tactical edge.

But all it takes is a friend of a friend who is a grandson of the tea lady - who leaks player info to some FPL 'content creator' because it gives them some sort of validation.

And I am starting to have a more sinister theory. I think the content creators have set people paid to give information to them.

A certain percentage of their you tube earnings each year, so it is win-win for everyone. A buzz is created - click, like subscribe etc. It would not surprise me if it was someone affiliated with the FPL company either.

6 hour minimum lock

We haven't seen the Chelsea or Liverpool defensive headaches yet!

Lots of popular players scored well, if same happens tomorrow/Monday, transfer market will be chaos…already hundreds of thousands of transfers made - check FPL transfers page, gone nuts…

Not to have a below the average gamweek score when I wildcard this year. Take way less -4's as well. the more transfers I make the worse I do. Long term planning is the way to go.

Mini leagues ; don’t care about anything else. Never going to win it.
