    How can I filter favorable fixtures for a team over the next 4-5 gameweek in a fixture ticker?

    I’m only able to check for one gameweek at a time.

    Thoughts on Son? Or still Kulu or Johnson with better value? And how would you rather Palmer now?

      Son is still worth the premium over Johnson and Kulusevski, IMO. Bringing Palmer in GW12 after I re-allocate some funds and lose Havertz etc.

      Brought in Wissa last night for Havertz. Thats with Mbuemo and VDB already.

      Wood doesn't get anywhere near my side but Raul has more going for him.

      I have ESR too but opted for Wissa as I rate their attacking potential ahead of Fulham's and their fixtures slightly more too.

      Only you can answer on that.

      Hovewer I have done a few mistakes in the past and I have always felt better when I corrected the mistake. Giving players multiple GW chances to figure out if it was a mistake or not never worked for me.

      Its funny for me to read what I have justed stated. Becouse I had a perfect none Haaland team at the start of the season, but fell in a trap to WC in GWs 6 just to bring Halland in. It went terribly wrong with 3 blanks in a row as a (C). So I just answered my own questing what I should do next with my team.

        He won't be getting any cleans but actually Brentford wouldn't be a bad defence to go up against if Davis will ever get attacking returns so I'd be keeping for now.

          I made the same mistake for what its worth but actually looking at it if I bought him as an attacking asset not expecting cleans then Brentford, Leicester and even Spurs in the next 3 isn't a disaster by any means.

            yeah true. underlying stats are very good, last 6 matches 2.57 xGI (per understat). just the tuanzebe and greaves injuries are frustrating. i guess 1 positive is even with goals conceded his bps is still solid enough that 1 assist gives a chance at bonus.

            milenkovic just looks so good, and then he carries high goal threat. scared about missing out on a 14/15 pointer in forest's next 5 matches.

            will decide later. if saka is out, doubt i'd sell for a hit anyways

              He may be OK until Leicester and Brentford are over as they are defensively awful.

              Will go Davis/RAN or VDB myself (have VDV and Lewis starting, so not ideal)

      by all accounts Isak looked like he was playing with lead in his boots last match. as an owner im gonna be stubborn and hope the no european footie bonus kicks in and he starts returning and keeps playing close to 90

      but for next gw right now would go someone else cunha or otherwise. chelsea a, arsenal h, forest a doesn't scream hauls, at best 8,2,5 or something. cheaper strikers will match that

          oh ok. not too worried about wilson. didnt get to watch the match but saw some highlights and it looked like newcastle were playing a 442 for large periods, like backend of last season when isak and wilson started/played together up top. maybe he loses pens, but you'd imagine wilson won't be fit for long anyways

          its nice though Johnson was unlucky not to return.

          I was considering Trent GW10-12.

          I do like Son next 3 though too.

          I may sell Haaland next week and set up a salah team (keep Havertz or get in Saka)

          Is it double Arsenal defence (only Arsenal/Liverpool keep them) or double Arsenal attack.

    Another Palace defeat is making me grumpy (when Eze again (apart from Liverpool and Man Utd has happened in every game so far)).

    And the ref on the first days of the season and the pens and the scoucers (red and blue).

          Just the mins for Foden. Feels like he's a tactical omission now rather than anything fitness related.

          I'm not quite sure what to do with Solanke tbh; 7 big chances in 2 games then no shots in 2 games. Might give him one more but I also want Cunha.

          Don't really think Son is sideways - even though he was quite wide at times, he would always be my first Spurs pick and this Palmer/Son/Mbeumo midfield is also where I want to be right now
