Saka was in contention to make the Man City's fixture so I'm sure being absent from international was just extra precaution imo, and he should be back after the break, however I'm keeping my tabs on Martinelli a lot, he came back with a very big energy, and that seem like something worth feeding off before the momentum drops.

No, he was never in contention! The news leaked that "Arsenal were pissed off at the injury leaks" so they pretended to put Saka in contention when he was unavailable the whole time.

I sensed something was fishy and immediately sold him after that. Took a -4 hit in the process but at least I neutralized it.

Any Arsenal fans around here? Any news about Saka?
From what I'm hearing he will be missing the internationals, but should not be a doubt after that.

_____________________________

I'm just looking at some stats, what a pick Jensen was at the start of the season. He's still selected by only 2% of players.
He was lucky with his goals, ok, but a return of 46 points from a 5mil player is incredible.

I might take Haaland out too, but I'm just still looking for the best opportunity to take him out, and the next 5-6 games looks like the best time.

Palmer's presence at No.10 has lifted us slightly, and the attackers are finding their feet; we're heading in the right direction. A win against Arsenal after the international break will hit like crack.  Grin
In your dreams! Grin Chelsea will be bullied by Arsenal, Mark my words Cheesy
Oh boy! That was harsh, don’t come at him like that, he might have a heart attack. You know Igebotz is a grayed fellow. Sorry man @Igebotz but, Chelsea will still be washed up when they face Arsenal.
I had to tell him the truth as it is without mincing words.


I don't think Pochettino is playing Cole Palmer as the team's No. 10, because If that's the case I would love to know the role played by Gallager, Caceido, and Enzo Fernandez respectively, Cole Palmer does indeed occupy a freer role and form of operation from the right wing usually occupied by Sterling in previous matches, but he's not playing a No. 10, and that's my biggest concern because if he does plays as a number 10, then Callager should be surplus to requirement in the midfield with Sterling and Mudryk occupying either wing flanks, and at least when Chelsea were utterly poor in attack, I expected such change from Poch, but he seem rather more concerned with having a heavily packed midfield, than players that could be terrific in attack, I don't like to imagine team on paper, but regardless of their current form I don't think a 4-3-3 form with Enzo, Caicedo, Palmer; Sterling, Jackson, Mudryk occupying midfield to attack, respectively would be a terrible formation and no yield good results.
Chelsea played 4-3-3 on paper in their last game against Burnley, but I do not think that is what they played throughout the game. The formation changed to 4-3-1-2  at some point with Palmer drifting in and playing behind Broja/Jackson. The formation Poch used against Fulham on paper was 4-2-3-1 with Enzo playing behind either Jackson or Broja, and Palmer occupying the flanks. Poch has also played 3-4-1-2  without Palmer against Nottingham forest and they lost. Just to point out that Poch is not yet sure of his formation, he is still trying things. For the game against Arsenal, he will most likely use Palmer as he did against Burnley, in a 4-3-1-2 style.

The game got Arsenal was Manchester City and with the table haven’t been adjusted with Spurs at the top, Arsenal in second place and Manchester City just behind in third place, Arteta and his boys are fired up to keep the pace.
If E. Halaand or Alvarez or Foden even couldn’t have their way with Arsenal, R. Sterling or N. Jackson, would be better off just holding things down at the midfield.

Let’s just hope the score line isn’t something shameful because, I’ll like to track back and laugh at this. If I forget, please remind me!

For March's, no surprises. After rise to stardom, he didn't feature in some games.


not sure what the reason for March is, probably upcoming schedule
can't say that he thoroughly underdelivered, being on bench two games, due to injury, but had assist in last game, and 7 points, not that bad for 6,3M asset



Yes. Since he's been out for those games, Managers sold him en masse so his value is bound to drop. Their next round of fixtures are also a possible reason too ngl. If he stays fit and performs optimally, his price tag will rise as fast as it fell.


there is a lot of players that delivered less, and price is rising, or remain steady
but it is FPL after all, no need to be logical

Rashford and a couple of other underperformers have had steady value for sometime now after initial drop. since there isn't a lot of people that are selling him right now or have sold him recently,  which might be why the prices are still stable.

Halaand price is falling this week! Non-Halaand owners you have a chance to get him

Thanks for the heads up. Haaland price fall is upon us.

£14.1M –> £14M

Other price falls:
March –> £6.3m
Steele –> £4.3m
Sancho –> £6.7m
Kouyate –> £4.8m
Adama –> £4.9m

Sancho's price would drop even more if his feud with Ten hag continues. For March's, no surprises. After rise to stardom, he didn't feature in some games.

Haaland will drop a hattrick here against brighton in the next game. Thank me later Wink

I will be there no matter what to gather those points  Shocked

Rough patch of games coming up for City. Will any of you be replacing Haaland?

Without KDB he just doesn't get the same quality of chances, and I'm not sure he'll be able to justify his price tag in the upcoming month(s).

I will probably take him at some point in the season, maybe his price even drops by a point or two by then?

Saka's been dropped out of the England's team to play Australia and Italy, so he may make a return in time for the Chelsea game. If he doesn't, Martinelli will be available and fitter. Partey is back as well, his cross to Havertz led to the assist for the goal against MCI. I clearly see Rice, Partey and Martin Ødegaard winning the midfield battle against Enzo Fernandez, Moisés Caicedo and Conor Gallagher . If Arsenal wins the midfield battle, we win the game.

You guys got lucky. Manchester city's best player, Rodri, was absent, while Kovasic was as bad as hell, and Halaand was buried by Saliba. The match was Alvarez vs Arsenal.

We're going into London derby game as underdogs with some injury good news (James is back). I'm not expecting much, but if Poch gets the correct lineup, we'll put up a nice fight.

Climbed to 5th spot overall! Great result so far, shame about the silly beginner's mistakes that I've made so far throughout the season.
You're doing well. Keep up.

I'm about to use my wildcard soon, I can still make the team better. Salah's proven to be a great captain choice, he's got 4 points more than Haaland so far for 1.5 million less.

Hmm, Chelsea fighting for the crown, you're really pulling a fast one aren't you. Wink

Why not bet $100 that they will not finish in the top 4?
I would bet $100 on Chelsea with only a slight difference (they will be in the top 4 in GW 8 ).  Grin

Quoted for reference since waiting until GM38 would be easy money for me.

(For the record, I believe that Chelsea will not finish in the top 4 even then).
Man, it was just paid for.  Wink

Glad you won!

A vital 10 points gained from my captain to narrow my deficit from the top to 50 points. But my defense still needs work. I lost over 40 points from defenders between gameweeks 6 to 7.

@icopress it was a good run, but the back-to-back wins from Chelsea was not enough to bring them to the top 4. So now we will tussle money  Smiley

My captaincy choice wrecked my game! Fuck Son, he'll never have that captaincy again, he had the easiest game, I knew Halaand was going to get bullied out of the game, and Salah was playing Brighton. If only Salah had been my captain, I could have shot my way to the Top 10 in good faith.

Rashford is the most useless fantasy pick of all times. He's on a 3,5 points average.
Hahahahahahaha, surely this makes me smile. At least seeing someone having same thoughts as myself been in the same Rashford predicament. One thing I know for sure, he ain’t staying on my team until GW9 on my team. Maybe I don’t get to wait longer than tonight to let loose of him. I’m thinking Maddison or even my transfer funds allows, then Son would be a best pick.

Rashford has hurt many teams (mine too) and the paradox is that apparently he will continue to do so. At the moment I don’t know if it’s worth changing him - after all, he can’t be terrible all season? Theoretically, he should "revert to the mean" and therefore should show at least a few very good results. But this hope may be in vain and he will continue to drag teams to the bottom.

Arsenal-City game might not have concluded yet but its safe to  say City forwards have all blanked ...
My highlights for the game

-William Saliba cancelled out Erling Haaland (Never want to hear that he deserves the Balon, he is a ghost in big games, today is another proof).

-Doku came in had a go at Zichenko, did not work, he switched wings and went to Ben White, Ben White made a bigger mess of him and even nutmegged him Cheesy

-Declan Rice is a big buy for Arsenal, the tackles that he wins cleanly are unbelievable and his clearance saved Arsenal a goal.

-Foden and Alvarez were ghosts in the game as well like Haaland.

-Havertz created the assist for Martinelli that led to the goal, he has had two good games scoring in the last one and creating a crucial assist in the second.

-Arsenal did it without Saka.

(Proud of my club)

now to international break
congrats to Arsenal, winning this one and make it interesting
Well needed pause for me in all the pools and Fantasy. In the end turned out to be good GW for me as I managed to get right captain. If only City scored one goal today it would have been perfect Sunday with a nice ticket to celebrate.


Congratulations to Kanapka, this GW winner. That WC chip did you good and I am not sure how you went with Pau but he is the one that brought you this win. Of course in combination with Salah captaincy, but there was more of us getting that right.
