It will definitely put you in the top tier compared to the total players! But probably less than those that consume content daily etc. I hit the Above Average podcast each week and occasionally check a Raptor/Harry video but the fun for me is in figuring out things yourself.

Thinking Mbeumo, Welbeck, Virgil and Petrovic/Verb for Enzo, Wolt, Gabriel and Pope. Alternative is to ditch Saka for Salah and bring in Guiu but not sure it’s worth it tbh.

For sure. Sometimes the more you get into it the less it's enjoyable anyway. The balance is to not really think much until Thurs/Fri, then make a nice coffee and spend 30 mins tinkering/planning the next few weeks. (Agree that the week before season starts is the most exciting!)

8 points from Haaland, Mateta, Semenyo, Burn, Timber and Gabriel is just absurd. Tbh this whole FPL season is absurd!!!

It’s also significantly less relevant considering we get 5FT!

I think it's been a somewhat boring season so far because points are generally coming from defence more than attack, which doesn't lead to the most exciting terrain.

Outrageous that Bowen isn’t even being used 😂

Imagine being 21 points off the top with 5 FT and all your chips still to use.

Same!

Haha same. Could’ve been worse I suppose, could’ve had João Pedro 😅

Definitely a good call!

I’d be surprised if that nets you a gain this week, so it’s whether you really like it for the long run. I probably wouldn’t tbh.

I'm thinking similar. I plan to have 3/4 FT to use in GW15 so then the 5 can just be stocked and my team can tick over with one or two transfers per week for a while until a big squad switch up is needed. Will be easy to save a late second WC that way.

Cheers Gills!

Team looks great. I quite like Bowen for these next two, wouldn't be surprised to see him return at all.

The longer the week has gone on the more I'm considering keeping Bowen rather than transferring him in. He's such a magnet for big chances but he is wasteful, particularly this season. Brighton will be a tough game next week due to the derby as well...

That makes sense. I briefly considered Saka and Rodon > Mbeumo and Califiori this week but feels a little OTT with Burnley and Sunderland next. Completely agree that others can match Saka though.

I went with double ARS defence and Munoz on a GW8 WC and almost wish I tripled up and left out Saka. Big defence definitely feels the play for the foreseeable.
