Lots of faulty thinking in the comments - yes James will probably outscore Rudiger by more than 4 points in the next few weeks, but that doesn't mean it's worth a hit. Here's how to evaluate hits: 🧵👇

The 2 viable captain options this week are Ronaldo and Salah. I don't think there's much between them. If you don't own either, give up on FPL. Then captain Mane or Vardy. Antonio...is not

In all seriousness, I don't really understand how: 1) People are blaming others for attempting to make transfers *before* the deadline...like, that's why we have a deadline and it's 1:30 not 1:25 2) Why @OfficialFPL hasn't apologised. Such a PR own goal
