If the match tonight is called off the game has well and truly gone…it’s going the way of cricket with bad light. Forgetting my Salah captaincy for a second and vested interest - I can’t believe it’s even up for discussion. This would have been decent visibility in the 70s.

Initial thoughts around the mystery chip…

Thoroughly underwhelmed. Just feels like a gimmick that you’d see in FPL challenge.

Why couldn’t it be a double points or all out attack chip?!

It’s a v. good point about upside being greater in MID/FWD. I think the challenge is so many are now moving to Salah,Saka,Palmer it’s finding that differential elsewhere -plenty of options tho.I guess it’s that element of finding the highest scorer for every position. F has also driven me mad tho😂

Just made transfer of Flekken to Raya - I know a gk transfer outside of a wildcard.Am I mad?

But I’m currently in a 3 way tussle in a mini league and trying to find good diff in weeks ahead.

I’m not sure of the wisdom of ignoring GK moves.Ultimately we need 11 scoring players.

What do you think?

Already gone from my team tonight. I’ll bank the .1 at least but should have got rid sooner. Salah hat trick on the way just to compound the rage.

Yep. Should people panic now - given his interview

To all the Haaland owners and esp those who 🧢 him (like me) I share your pain. Salah will inevitably come in with a haul but remember it’ll soon be game week 13 and it’s a long season. Don’t get too low! 1 good thing - you can afford to move to any other striker.There’s plenty of choice. #fpl

Team locked in

Taken a bit of a punt by going Mbuemo to Gordon but prefer Newcastle’s run in medium term. May regret it over next 2 weeks.

Haaland over Salah as 🧢. Mood music coming out of Man City seems positive and strangely feels a differential pick this week. Romero being out tipped me.

Gotta say I do like Madueke- not sure he’ll always haul but he’s so direct it should lead to points. Take the point around Neto being able to play both wings.

So am currently having an ongoing debate. Is Haaland a keep this week?

Or is a transfer to Isak the way to go?

Or do I wait a week and move Haaland on to Pedro? (when his status clearer)

Or is Watkins flying under the radar for next 4 weeks?

At least I know I want to keep Cunha/Wood OR do I?😂

I hope so. Terrible to see the condition of some rivers.

This is thoroughly depressing. Rare political rant… We are blessed with the most beautiful waterways and we’re still destroying them for the sake of cheaper chickens and water company dividends. Great to see work of Angling Trust around raising this.

Completely agree with this. I had thought that the biggest transfer headaches would be in midfield but choice in strikers is really interesting this year.

Brighton - medium to long term. Just not sure who with Brighton…Van Hecke seems most nailed on but tempted by Kadioglu if it looks like he will be starting at full back moving forward

Appreciate with all these picks there are potentially more desirable options at each club however these options (Rogers aside) are likely to be pricier and juggling premium assets can be difficult.Each pick strikes me as offering an interesting differential. Also could be helpful for Haaland owners

Martinelli
Arsenals fixtures have now turned for the better.He seems to have re-established himself as 1st choice on the left.We know from prev seasons he can be a good a fpl option.With Odegaard back this should enhance the wider Arsenal attack.Lots of ifs but at 6.9 and 3.5tsb maybe worth a punt

Tielemans
Ok hear me out.Villa play 3 of the next 4 games @ home.He takes corners and we don’t know yet if he’s Villa’s pen taker.He’s taken them for Belgium (ignore the miss 😂) and prev did for Leicester.He’s overdue a 30 yard screamer.Morgan is the sensible option but why not be a rebel?1.4% tsb

Madueke
Recent CFC output nothing to write home about but my word he passes the eye test.If you can’t get to Palmer, fancy a Chelsea double up or want a slight differential he seems a fun option.1st pick on right hand side for an attacking Chelsea side who have a good run ahead.6.4 for all that.

3 #fpl midfielders on my watchlist based on being:
- decent to extreme differentials
- potentially under the radar with good games ahead
- regular starters
- good in eye tests (be warned I am due an eye test)
- not necessarily widely recommended elsewhere (prob for a reason!)

Anyone else having a sudden knee jerk reaction to consider Gordon as a transfer?! 😂

Clearly his output has not hit heights of last season but Newcastle’s run looks good. I still have a huge soft spot for him after last yr.

Argh 😣 the pitfalls of previous season nostalgia…some1 convince me not to…

That would be great - thank you. I’m a long term follower on the ‘other’ place that not be named. 😂

This is so helpful.

Interesting to see the challenging recovery times Villa and Liverpool have coming up. Be a big test of if Liverpool can keep up this title challenge and may mean more rotation

Milos Kerkez - Bournemouth run looks decent.

Really like this. Very much ties in with my own thought processes around fixture difficult. Thanks!
