As Europe is about to kick off we should strongly consider these talismans from teams who will play 1 game a week and are nailed:
Newcastle - Gordon
West Ham - Bowen
Palace - Eze
Brighton - Pedro
Bournemouth - Semenyo
Wolves - Cunha
Brentford - Mbeumo
Is it time to bring in Cunha?
✅ Sea of Green after MCI
✅ 0.5 xGI per 90
✅ Penalties
✅ Nailed
✅ 90 min man since GW3
✅ 6 bonus (no wins)
✅ Has a wicked bicycle kick

I have not owned Saka all season and hes hurting me . There is a vacancy in my team with the outgoing Jota and available funds.
Is it too late to jump on the Saka train?
The frustrating thing for most non Salah/Haaland owners start of the season is that we felt like Isak was non negotiable and we couldnt have them both if we owned Isak.
Isak hasn't really lived up to the hype. 🤷

1st transfer of the season
Havertz ➡️ Watkins
✅ Minutes under threat from Duran
✅ Got taken off early both weeks
✅ Couldn't hit a barn door with a beach ball
✅ Has objectively worse haircut than Kai
What could go wrong here?
Who is with me?!
🚨 Early Transfer! 🚨
Trossard due to rise ☝️
Maddison to fall very soon 👇
Decided to save the 0.2M 💰
Trossard came off early yesterday so should start and he could have a party against NFO 🥳
But do I captain Son or Trossard? 🤔
Jota instead of Salah
✅ Jota steals Salahs chances
✅ Jota is a mid playing out of position
✅ Jota is fit and looks likely to start GW1
✅ Jota has great hair
✅ Jota is greedy any clinical
✅ Jota is a cheap enabler
* I can't back any of these statements up with facts
I think I'm happy to go into BGW29 with as few as 6 players.
Who are the players that can realistically hurt you badly in that week?
Porro (if fit), Son, Richarlison, Maddison, Toney, Watkins
I'm going to own 6 of them. No one else really scares me enough to Free Hit.
We need to clear this up. If your final rank was 25657 you did not get a top 25k finish. If your final rank was 10567 you did not get a top 10k finish. You need to get BELOW the number. Also, it should be in blocks of 5k. Don't tell people you had a 'top 17k' or 'top 23k' finish!
Is Ollie Watkins an elite FPL asset?
Over 170 pts this season, one game away from his highest of all time. 12 game weeks left and 200+ is considered elite in FPL.
-8 for 15 doublers
Triple Newcastle attack
Gusto is a doubt but I have 0 ITB so he's the best at that price
Hojlund is utter garbage and will be even worse without Bruno
Thoughts?
Hard to justify Saka > Bruno for a hit.
The 3 defenses that have conceded the least xG since the restart are:
1. Newcastle
2. Manchester City
3. Brentford
United play 1st and 3rd in that list in DGW29
Leeds on the other hand, are 14th on that list.
What are you doing?
I love

'coin flip gut feel' tip.
If you're stuck between 2 researched options, flip a coin, if you don't feel good about the result, gut feel says go with the other option. If you don't feel strongly either way, stick with coin! 😎
Get his book, 'The Mind Game'.
If anyone was wondering what's happened to Mason Greenwood here is an update.
He was arrested 6 months ago, is still on bail and has not been formally charged with anything.
Manchester United must continue to pay him £75,000 per week.
That's all we know.
So happy to have this lad instead of Saka. So much cheaper and great enabler and now I sell him and no more arsenal for rest of the season outside FH. Super happy 🤩
How many managers own Salah AND Haaland?
Haaland/Salah ownership now = 2️⃣4️⃣%
Haaland/Salah ownership after IB = 5️⃣0️⃣%
Will you be one of them? (I will!)

Sounds like you really struggle with just accepting outcomes? You can't control sport events. You just make a prediction with the best data you have and some times it's good sometimes it's bad. If it's a shocker just ignore the week and plan for the next or switch off?
I'm reading The Mind Game by

Just finished Part 1. The cognitive bias that affects me most negatively is 'Plan Continuation bias', i.e. Sticking to a plan when it no longer makes sense.
Great read, check it out!
I want to bring Son in for Gordon but who would I bench!?
Foden could absolutely haul against this complete mess United side
Just roll with Richarlison?
Son is less attractive next week against AVL
Help!
I've decided to read 'The Mind Game' (written by
@FPL__Raptor
) again before the season kicks off to remind myself of the different cognitive biases I can fall victim to!
Currently 1st place 🏆in
@LetsTalk_FPL
Patrons Nov FPL League. 9 points clear of 2nd. Transfer plans are Ronaldo & Bowen in GW16 but I'm happy with my team so I'm going to roll! Can I win with this line up? Let me know what you would do!

To all my followers that post their team and say 'what should I do?' And get upset with no responses.
Put yourself in others shoes.
People are lazy and time poor and don't want to analyse your whole team.
Give people an A vs B option and show you've put some thought into it.
I'd love to get to 1000 followers to increase my reach and hear the broader opinions of my network of fpl friends! I will follow back all new followers!
Please like and RT to help me get there before FPL kick off. I need about 250 more! 🙏😎⚽
Is it time to sell the frustrating Eberechi Eze? 🤔
✅ 1st Most Shots (12)
✅ 3rd Most SOT (4)
✅ 4th Most SITB (6)
🧦 Socks NEVER fall down
Or is a haul just around the corner?
What are you doing with Eze?

Exchanging 3 fixtures for 11 over next 2 gameweeks, what could go wrong?! 🤣
Green arrows everyone, good luck! 🚀
Great to see some studio FPL content , nice relaxed vibe , smoother conversation and love hearing two experts banter and discuss! ❤️⚽
Keep up the content
@FPL__Raptor

So happy to reach my goal of starting the season with 1000 followers! 🎉🎈🥳
I will do transfer plans, team selection and game week review every week as well as some nugget stats every now and then! ✅✅✅
Looking forward to your opinions, advice and tips! ⚽
Thinking of selling Saka for Foden? 🤔
✅ Saka is on penalties
✅ Saka is on corners
✅ Arsenal have 5 goals from corners
✅ Saka has high xMins
❌ Foden only has open play goal threat
❌ Fodens shots are low xG worldies
Fit him in alongside Saka, NOT instead of.

@FPL_JMacca
It's not purely about stats.
Nailed
Plays 95 mins every game
On pens
Takes most set pieces
Is linked to every attacking return Brentford get
Has the best beard
Looks 45 but is actually young
Wears a big gold medallion and ear rings off the pitch 😜
Troops for BGW29 🔒
Only 9 players with fixtures, hopefully I have the right ones, expecting a red arrow from the free hitters but hopefully I can bounce back from the damage!
Saka 🗑️
Solanke 🗑️
WC10 Draft
I really wanted Gabriel as my 5th defender but I was 0.1 off. Would have been nice to have an Arsenal defender with the upcoming fixtures
Martinelli to bang, partnered with Jesus
Mitoma, Bowen great fixtures
Gordon the ultimate enabler from a red hot team
Thoughts?
Pervis Estupiñán played 85 minutes for Ecuador last night against Brazil!
Will be interesting to see how he is integrated back into the side by Hurzeler and where he will play!
#FPL
Latest WC31 Draft
Defense options being decimated
Going with Ait Nouri/Bradley short term, will look towards Dalot/Udogie closer to 37.
Planning on having 15 doublers in 37 (Salah > Maddison)
Chip strategy
WC31
FH34
BB37
Thoughts?
There is definitely an argument to buy Morris today. He has Fulham, the worst defense in the league, he has a good chance of returning and then rewarding you in DGW7 too.
If you own Danny Ward and want to buy Iversen, latest from Presser:
Daniel Iversen will make his second Premier League appearance for Leicester City at Crystal Palace after Brendan Rodgers confirmed he is sticking with the Danish goalkeeper.
