Foden plays, finally, and scores, and I knew I felt an itch to put him in but decided to keep with Haaland (all the while while actually keeping Trippier on my bench).

Is the Newcastle dream over? I did get really lucky keeping Almiron in one final game when he last scored, otherwise I'm not liking any of them right now.

I said it many times, Foden is the best winger in PL for me, only problem he has Pep for manager and I am not taking him for sure. And the bar is really high for best winger, we have Saka and Rashford in form of his life but Foden is the most complete player if only he could have a safe position like others. He is playing now just because Mahrez is getting rested for the Champions League.

Newcastle is still good but they lost their touch in attack, from fantasy perspective it is all about Trippier and maybe one more defender or Pope.

I have never once rated Foden as England's best young player; a complete winger must have a good dribble ratio and not just run into space and score a sitter; a player like Foden will struggle in a team like Manchester United or Chelsea. He scored goals against some farmers in the FA CUP and against Newcastle, and he is projected as one of the best winger in the league when young Saka is doing it week in and week out. its funny but that's my unbiased oppinion

I'm 56 points + Salah, Darwin and 4 other players yet to play. my game plan is going well.

Man I am so out of the pulse line I didn't even know the crap surrounding Toney is heating up... Anyway...

I'm taking a huge risk on these bums.

My position gives me the freedom of risk. I can only go up, can't imagine how I'd play if I were actually in a prize spot...

I'm definitely keeping Salah for the time being, there is no one, I would rather waste 4 points to get in for him, Bruno Fernandes is having a though fixture, for all we know De Bruyne might undergo another Guardiola experiment, so who else Son ? he's being nothing what his name suggest this season a "bouncing baby boy", and I'm not so positive on Phil Foden or Mahrez either so, it might take a while before I trust someone else from City except Ederson and Haaland, unless Man City gets eliminated in all competition, then a huge maybe.

and I'm not so positive on Phil Foden or

Foden is back, and scoring goals
Haaland seemed as great value and perma captain, but does not provide much lately, will reconsider his position

Akanji was in, and that was good

Arsenal showing why they are not reliable at all, and Kepa took clean sheet

Yeah, Foden is back into fold but for how long, who knows with Guardiola in charge, but I think he might get decent minutes for a while given is current form, I'd probably keep Haaland as my perma captain, because even with Arsenal you get 3-4 choice to pick from without knowing who exactly is going to explode, Saka as the penalty take with the slight advantage, Arsenal haven't had much of that this season.

Brighton being more terrifying than expectations but I went for the wrong guy in Solly March today, silly gamble but budget oriented Sad

I don't think punter Toney will be running in the upcoming games after admitting the sin.
Cheating in football matches has a significant impact on fantasy game coaches as well as club results, so I believe Toney will face repercussions from the team.

Mbeumo springs to mind. Huh

The problem is that the charges will take some time to be processed, although is likely to be before the end of the campaign (as per reports from BBC.co.uk) and with his lawyers said to be involved already despite pleading guilty it's going to take a while before the FA will come to a decision with such numerous number of charges, I'd expect him to play the next couple of games including their double gameweek, provided he doesn't pick two yellow cards in the process because he's two yellow cards away from a suspension.

Mbuemo does offer a valuable and very cheap option though, and without Toney he sure would be the first to come to mind.

I already have two Brighton players, and my team is set to play until GW 29.
What are your thoughts, Darwin owners? Should I keep him or sell him

Added Mitoma back, so I'm full up on Brighton, but I chose to bring back Darwin and put Rashford out (I smell a victory, and want to take full advantage).

I'm full Brighton packed too! I'm putting my life on the line with Brighton is also completely packed for me! I'm putting my life on the line with Mitoma, Ferguson, and Epstus; I kept Darwin and Salah and permanently removed Nketieh. Despite everything that is going on around him, it appears that Toney will play. I'm not willing to take a big risk on him.

Salah also out though, to reshuffle my board, he normally gets goals against United but he might end up feeding Nunez more this time.

That being said Kepa is still almost 1M cheaper and Chelsea has much better fixtures going forward. Liverpool is playing United, Arsenal, City and blanking in next 5 games. No point in having their players for me.

have them both, dilemma is just who to bench
will not sold any of them at the moment, it would be a waist of free transfer, without much reasoning behind

Alisson was good for last double week, but will put Kepa for this week, and yeah, no more Liverpool players in my team either, not looking good in next few weeks

looking at my team, need some changes, but since that will require at least going -4, I would risk it out with chances for Nottingham being scoreless this round
Everton had two tough matches in last two rounds, being solid for first half time, but cannot score without attackers, and braking down after conceiving, especially in second half against Arsenal

dilemma is Kepa or Alisson, but Chelsea should be closer to clean sheet this round, Leeds does not look nearly as good as United

I was starting to write Kepa for sure but then I decided to look at the actual data. Liverpool kept 4 clean sheets in a row and Alisson is actually the keeper with most points so far. I expected him to be way down the list.

That being said Kepa is still almost 1M cheaper and Chelsea has much better fixtures going forward. Liverpool is playing United, Arsenal, City and blanking in next 5 games. No point in having their players for me.

Before you consider Kepa for your team, I'd like to let you know that our best defender Silva is out for a few weeks, Fofana is just returning from an injury and lacking match fitness, but he trained well and I'm hoping he will be available. With James and Silva out, we're probably going to see a back 3 of Azpi, Fofana, and Koulibaly. I'm sorry, but with these men + Harry Potter craziness, there is no way we can keep a clean sheet.

WARD vs Southampton is a nice option for me. I also thought about Pickford, but the Everton defense is terrible right now.

I gave up some key players in my line-up during the last round, including Kane, Martinelli and Trippier, which cost me -12 points. I think I'll keep Nunez and finish off Haaland and think about Toney for w27 we'll have a double game for Brenford and Brighton.

I'm with Trofo, bringing back Brentford and Brighton players (they were anyway in my squad for value). I will likely want to hold on to Saka/Rashford, despite tough games, but I do want to avoid the derby as I have a feeling we'll beat United.

Gonna be a penalty week for me, but I don't mind really.

Darwin to Toney is no longer an option for me, so I'm looking for Darwin replacements right now.

why you would use WC for next week, I am thinking about FH for Brighton, Brentford, not sure they will going to prove worth on several weeks in the team
trying to think it through for the rest of the season, and Brighton and Brentford do not seem as teams that have much to fight for till the end, maybe Europa/Conference league spot

Well Brentford has 6 games in 4 game weeks and Brighton has 5. Both teams have been performing quite well and both teams have some great players with budget friendly prices. Fixtures aren't bad either. While at the same moment I have a lot of United and Liverpool players that have though fixtures and just 3 games in next 4 game weeks. Arsenal is only top team worth the money at the moment and I need to exchange Nketiah to defender there. I also have Bueno who is out for a long time. Just a lot of things to take care off.

I'm also rooting for Brentford and Brighton here they've got a lot players with great points potential to choose from, but the problem now is that almost every single player on the FPL portal have the yellow caution on them, I'm currently having five of them on my team that's got the yellow and any further transfer will be extra points deducted, I just want finish this game week issh free or at at least not drop too many points Angry

Small wins for me with Arsenal players, all good point collections (shame I used captain on Salah but who was to know we'd draw a Palace blank?).

So I got my old squad now, feel like I could have used FH chip better but not complaining for a better-than-average haul, actually climbed a couple of spots in the crap league, and making myself feel better about everything.

Nunez actually scored for Liverpool but his goal was overturned by VAR. He just can't catch a break, he either misses or VAR stops him.

Darwin will always remind me of Werner every time I watch him play, I notice the same similarities and abilities: good work rate, good positioning, good pace, and Benteke's finishing touch, and every time they score, the VAR is on their tail. During his Chelsea career, Werner had 16 goals disallowed.

It was a good GW from me, but it could have been much better if I had left Saka as captain.
