There is definitely no Raya news coming, except a leak of course because as it stand Arteta kept insisting on waiting for 24 hours before any update, Arsenal plays Leicester City tomorrow and then PSG in the UCL on Tuesday, If there isn't anything concrete as of now isn't it rather safe to assume that Raya would be taking a breather tomorrow ?
Arteta and Howe are the worst managers when it comes to press conferences and player injuries. They are never giving info and when they give something it is often misleading or plain lies.

I have a feeling Raya plays and I am 99% certain I am going with him on wildcard. Problem is I don't have second keeper so taking a solid risk.

Maybe not so risk after all if he's the plan going forward and it's not too much of an injury so to say, still the points that could be lost might end up being significant...

My biggest worry for this week remains captaincy, Saka seem to have a very strong case (if I'm bringing him in perhaps for Salah), while Newcastle despite being defensively horrendous have never been an easy fixture for Man City, decision decision... I'm sure I might end up with the wrong choice at the end of the day  Angry
That Raya injury really made me run in circles. Had very comfortable WC team and now because of that I am booking one future transfer when I need 0.5M to remove Flekken for some 4.0 GK. Still feel like it was a good choice since I can opt to play Flekken during those 3 bad Arsenal fixtures if I decide to do so and then get rid of him after that.

On the flip side I am quite sure many managers now dropped Raya from WC which I consider a big win.

73 points!!! Oh well ahahaha left everything on auto pilot!!! Sure I would have gone in for Lewis ahead of Konsa and missed out on that 9 pointer.
I was way below average on the fantasy when I really should be catching up on those missed points. Now, I don’t know what changes to do on my team even with 3 free transfers on the side. The activities in my private life from last week had such impact on me that up to this moment, nothing feels the same and am having some internal conflict but, I do hope things clears up real soon.

With hours to end of the transfers for the GW, any pointers if we would be seeing Raya this GW, it’s looking unlikely but, I suppose I get Sanchez real fast.

You have a nice backup - Fabianski against Brentford is a good shot, I wouldn't care much about bringing in a new GK, you should focus on bringing in someone for injured Pedro before another price fall. Jackson and Kai Havertz are good options with good fixtures ahead.

Meanwhile, everyone who is wildcarding right now is busy getting all my midfielders and attackers, forcing me to do even more transfers so that I do not end up with a template squad when I need to get up places. Nice 4-D chess guys  Tongue
I have 8 or 9 players locked and only changing remaining 3 plus filling the bench with what I have left from the budget.

Now more or less set, only waiting for Raya news. I just know we will not get any.

------------------

Except for a very minute changes that I might need, I think I'm glad I don't have to worry about the wildcard for this round, I like how my team is looking and would transition over the next few weeks barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Seems like the best gameweek to wildcard is on us as everyone is saying, and many FPL managers will likely have same teams from the look of things Roll Eyes
let me see what the likes of FPL Fran have to say on YouTube, or perhaps footballhub then will see how far my team is from the best and will work on one or two transfers to bring in...but nice fixtures for some clean sheets and attackers should score easily if you pick the right players  Tongue

There are so many good choices when you have a wildcard chip Grin
I assembled and disassembled my team 5 times already, with drastic changes made each time.

I think I'll end up playing it safe, it's still early. But I do have to say that the team I created without Salah is a top one.

Liverpool had an easy schedule that is getting tougher now, with Europe and cups they will heavily rotate - especially the offensive positions.
Yeah they will. but Liverpool will score a lot of goals and 60 minutes of Dias in this form could be more valuable than 90 minutes for some other club. If you look at teams that will score a lot of goals, you have Liverpool, City, Chelsea that will all rotate a lot and then maybe Spurs and Arsenal that should be easier to nail down.

Problem is I want Liverpool attacker and since I don't have money for Salah, Dias is the best from the rest, at least for time being. I am aware he is transfer waiting to happen but should be good for next 2 weeks. He will be my only minutes risk attacker so I can live with that.

WC active in the end for me.

I have dropped Salah, and stuck with another option that I feel is having one of the best form of their career under Slot.

I assume this is Diaz - can't be anyone else. I wanted to take him initially instead of Jota, picked the latter which was a mistake.
I wouldn't touch Diaz near 8 million, he's got his limits and although he started well, there are many better options around.

Will have a good think about Salah as well -

I asked a couple of friends about which Manager in the Premier League will be first to be sacked? I feel it will Julen Lopetegui of West ham.

but I am thinking Arsenal is probably hands down the team that will keep most clean sheets this season
...

Liverpool under Slot looks a lot more compact than it was the case under Klopp. I feel Liverpool's defence might challenge them, but then again - they are priced even higher if you don't go with Konate - who will surely be without attacking contributions.

I like my team a lot better now after the WC chip. Used it a bit early for my liking though.

When you build the team seems like is fine, but after a few looks, you start to realize is better to have some 4.5m defenders and taht 1.5m remaining can do a much better work in other parts of the field.
You can look at it in many ways. There will always be midfielders and attackers that will get you points but I am thinking Arsenal is probably hands down the team that will keep most clean sheets this season. Yeah they are expansive but well worth the price.

I will always advocate mixed approach, have all price points in every part of the field. Meaning at least one premium player in each part of the pitch, for instance Haaland, Saka, Trent; then at least one mid priced option like Jackson, Dias, Porro and then one cheap player but with good minutes and fixtures like Wood, Semenyo, Aina. By the way all those mentioned players bar Jackson will be on my WC if I decide to play it this week.

In addition to that leave 0.5M in the bank and you have an easy way to any player in the game with just one transfer (except for Salah but you can't have everything).

Arsenal players will soon be must have. Their defenders are really expensive though - I prefer to put my money into midfield and strikers.


Im not puting so much effort in this competition, but i also realized this, are super expensive, 6 millions for a defender cuts you of having some really midfilers.

Getting Saka is hard, but Haaland Salah Saka is actually doable with some heavy compromises elsewhere.

Will have a good think about Salah as well - he's collecting the points but in such an easy schedule I epected more. Then again, he's better when there's more space to exploit so the tougher games might actually suit him more.

Icopress already has a good lead; I don't doubt his ability to maintain that position; it is my intention to keep close.
Man, I don't have a single Arsenal defender, no Saka, and in midfield there are 5 players, 3 of whom cost a total of 15.7m. How do you think I can maintain my position?  Tongue

I also don't have a single Arsenal player, but I'll not be rushing and probably buy my way into the squad gradually, only Saka, Gabriel and Raya are pretty much appealing from the team I already have 2 starting GKs perhaps If I had 2 free transfers I might have gone Verbruggen > Raya, and as well get Saka into the Midfield, however since I don't, then it's to make do of those I have.

I am sure you have your plans  Smiley There is no way you are letting go of that first position without a fight.
