I did it first.
Mandatory Players
I might consider dropping it to save money.. but definitely not now (not with this schedule).
Now he plays in the center, which means that in fact we have a midfielder who will receive extra points for clean sheets.
Unlike Saka, almost each of his effective actions leads to bonus points (due to which he became the player of the week three times on an equal footing with Haland). It's also a great option to rotate to Saka if Odegaard has great weeks (meaning it's statistically unlikely they'll both be double-pointed).
Considering Arsenal's fixture schedule, a triple pick seems logical to me... and by picking Martineli instead of Jesus, I can save the forward spot for some budget option like Morris (one of the top scoring players in the Chimpionship will have a good schedule starting from GW 4).
Still undecided, but Gabriel for 5 million seems like a good deal to me.
I guess Toney's absence makes Mbeumo the powerhouse of the whole team, and Raya is a magnet for bonus points.
Despite the fact that Estupiñán is owned by 50% of the managers, I can't lose sight of him, as the first three weeks seem to be awesome to me (after which I will seriously consider switching him or Gabriel to the defender James, Dalot or Trippier). Same with Mitoma...swap for Sterling or Madison. Temporarily putting them on the bench seems to me also an adequate solution, since week 5 should also be promising.
At the moment I have 16 million in the bank, and one vacancy for a linebacker and a striker. I'm leaning towards Fernandes or Foden and Nkunku (or Nicolas Jackson) but I'm still undecided as there are still many unknowns. The dilemma is that I really want to have Kane, but I don't know who to sacrifice to let him in.
Yes, I want to brazenly take advantage of someone else's analytics
