    Funny little swing between Gordon/Gyokeres and Saka/Woltemade considering "the former are on pens".

      True indeed, what we thought before the games kicked off compared to how things turned out. Gyokeres needs to sharpen up in the box though.

        I know, still an ironic twist of fate, Woltemade being the one with the early subs so far.

            it is. I was on here deliberating it and went Wolte / Saka due to them being better assets despite GG having pens and 90 mins....

      I went SW in the end as those are better players and will score more long term. The fact they delivered after the WC straight away is a bonus.

    My planned midfield changes were going to be Ndiaye + Paqueta > Sarr + Caicedo. Would you keep Ndiaye and just sell Paqueta?

    If only the latter do you prefer Caicedo or Sarr?

        I prefer Caicedo to Enzo. Yes Enzo is more advanced but you would say he is a prolific midfield goalscorer. Caicedo is a defcon monster and gives us a 4 point baseline most weeks and is now adding goals to his game. Plus the extra million can be used elsewhere in the squad.

        Keeping Paqueta (h) to Brentford. Just bought Bowen so ideally don’t want double West Ham.

        Paqueta @ Leeds in GW9 or I can have Caicedo (h) to Sunderland or wait until GW10 and sell Paqueta for Sarr (h) to Brentford.

    Thougts on the following transfers:

    Donnarumma, Reijnders and Pedro to Pope, Gordon and Woltemade.

    Newcastle have great fixtures and I dont like Reijnders as an FPL pick. Not desperate to sell Pedro at all, but I prefer to keep Gyokeres for now.

          Gordon always seems ready to be a great FPL pick and it just never quite works out that way.

          Also, he took 2 penalties for Newcastle last season and 2 the other night against USG. I know he was off the pitch when the penalty was awarded today but the way Woltemade finished it and being the clubs main striker I would be so sure penalties are all Gordon’s.

      He's playing deeper when Foden is in the side so less direct link-up with Haaland. Holding personally until January+ but can see why other's might want to get rid.

            Brilliant when it pays off like yesterday but you know the pain is real when a consolation goal converts a haul into 2, 2, 2.

            I do like that Timber and Calafiori are offering something different in the Arsenal attacks though and Raya will nicely for the long term.

          Surprisingly highly injury for a GK. Bizarre!
