Saints fan living in Tanzania, FPL, love data/analytics, enjoy risk-taking in FPL
I'm currently sat at 500k having used TC and FH. My best ever finish (in 5 years of playing) was 350k last season, so going 'against the grain' probably means you won't end up beating the template in the long run but with a following wind, you could end up winning FPL.

FWD - I'm hoping Sesko will come good but if not, Mateta is no.1 for me. Gyokeres is an option of course but I'm monitoring Bowen too.

De Cuyper looks good. I also like Truffert, Diakite and Alderete for their price.

MID - If Palmer comes back with good mins and form, he'll probably come in for a Salah as Mo is overpriced.

Looking at Minteh, Gordon, King, Paqueta, Neto and Eze as possible buys.

Players I'm considering bringing in for the next 5 GW before WC13..

DEF - my defence (except I sold Sels this week) has stayed the same all season, as I prefer to spend in attack, even with the changing landscape this season.

I do need to replace Digne though as his minutes are risky.

You won't win FPL by being template! I bought Salah in GW6 because everyone was selling! Of course its a balancing act as you could get left behind but there are players that people are ignoring to fit in all their Arsenal picks, which can easily match or exceed their points.

Thanks, MGW was in my draft when it looked like he might end up at Spurs but there are better options for sure. Rogers for one would give me some Villa coverage

I'm thinking about KDB on a free hit. But will he start? Might be a last minute decision if we get team leaks before deadline

Not much in it, if Fh29 go for Rogers, if not stick with Amad
