    Current GW 1 rank looks like a dead team that has had a green arrow every week. That kinda week so far.

        The continuous green arrows is the weird bit. Probably totally unaware they got a GW 1 rank (for now)

          Not difficult to get green arrows when you don't start till Gameweek 3.
          Rose from 10.5m in Gameweek 3 to 8.0m in Gameweek 8, then shot up to current OR of 3.7m by playing triple captain chip.

        Well the free is for H. Elliot to Sarr for free. That has to be a no brainer.

    Cucurella and VVD are definitely living up to their price tags. At least VVD gets regular DEFCON but at 6m, I want more. The issue is the upcoming turn in fixtures for both. Not sure what to do with them. Anybody else in the same dilemma?

      Yeah Cucurella over Gabriel is costing about 12 points a week (at least it feels that way). I have many, many other fires though and he's so attacking. Going to hold probs until that 5FT window.

        I’ve had him from the start and I’ve had two weeks of 0 points, two weeks of 1 point and a week each of 5, 6, 7 and two of 8. I have Gabriel so if I sold it may be for Timber, if I sell Gyokeres, who has had a 24 (!) and 11 point haul in the same first 9 weeks. I need to think about it.

    Any free hit essentials next week? As it stands

    Pope
    Gabriel, Timber, Munoz, Ballard
    Saka, Mbeumo, Semenyo
    Haaland, Mateta

    Can't even pick an 11th. Suggests it's not a good week to free hit, but can't make transfers and I can't look at João Pedro in my team any longer.

            FH doesn't solve the Pedro problem. He'll just come back the following week. If you don't want to start or bench him then you need to transfer him out instead.

              I can transfer him out next international break. Transfers aren't allowed during non-IB weeks (self imposed rules to make me stop obsessing over the game). 1 week of Pedro is better than 2.

      Mbeumo scored a brace, so some will get him as well.
      Someone scores a hattrick today and it's hits galore. Hopefully someone like Strand Larsen.
