Not sure if this is too early but here it is!

Potentially an early wildcard depending on how far teams go in Europe.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Wolves are expected to be given extra time off by the Premier League and start next season late, should they go into the latter stages of their respective European competitions.

Ayling looking quite attacking

I remember there being a lot of hype around Burke a good few years ago when he went from Forest to Leipzig. It was the trailblazer of sorts in the young British players moving to Germany.

There was similar hype for Ryan Gauld who didn't fulfill his potential.

Burke starting up front again is interesting.

The co-commentator said he talked to Wilder about him. Wilder said he was looking forward to getting him back from Alaves and to using his place playing him through the middle.

Said he sees Burke as a No.9 and would play McGoldrick behind him as a 10.

So we should hope that Brewster doesn’t go to Sheffield United.

Just looked at Burke’s Wikipedia there. His stats don’t look very striker. Look more like central defender.

Oriel Romeo was superb today.

What was his score in the Sky game and is he a good pick generally in the game.
I don't play it but scoring system makes DMs viable even with the YCs?

Just 2 pts. He didn't get any passing or tackle bonus unfortunately for me.

In the calendar year, Danny Ings has scored 24 in 30. Incredibly consistent.

eh i dunno

Actual Adams and Ings I want to look at. Trying to decide between the two and like the extra money with Adams

Got them on who scored

Sofascore app has them too

The site wouldn't be able to figure it out until teams update so definielty now. It was about 6% last gameweek

Think it's near 17% now

Looks like most managers have got fed up with Pep and his rotation.

No City attacker owned by more than 7.6% except KDB.

Think Mahrez (less than 2%), Sterling and Foden all fantastic options this GW. And differentials.

Is Sterling > Salah for the next three GWs?

Debating the same thing myself. On WC

A. Saiss, Salah, Foden
B. TAA, Sterling, Burke

I'm thinking B. Burke could drop to bench

Is Sterling > Salah for the next three GWs?

Something like 10% of players have kdb and Salah so don't let that stop you. It's a tough call there, Son and Pulisic will probably outscore Salah and Podence over the season though.

I have had money in the bank all week and have been unsure what to do with it - on wildcard

Would you go

1. Salah/Podence (0.4m in bank)
2. James/Son (2.5m in the bank) - or (Pulisic/Son longer term)

Or is Salah/KDB too template - and will stop me rising the ranks

I’d go Son+James for now.....James may well turn out to be a lad that only performs for start of season but you might as well be on that train for now.

Yeah I feel like you are right, I just need Pulisic to get fit!

Might be a short term Salah/Podence, with a switch in a few weeks - post international break

Edit: the more I think about it going to downgrade DCL to Brewster and keep Rodriguez.

Then it's Werner or Jimi to DCL and JRod to Puli in a few weeks

It's Steer at the moment, Heaton in November I'd imagine if he stays on track

Thanks for reply.....
My back 5 are

Saiss, Robbo,Ward(Palace),KWP and Lamptey but tbh I wouldn’t be afraid to double up on Brighton in easier fixtures if I went with Ryan.

Who is most likely to come in for Ryan if injured?......Steele or a fit Walton?

Same question regarding Martinez?
You have Nyland,Steer and a fit Heaton in a few weeks on bench.

Thanks for any replies

No idea on either to be honest. Steer was on the bench. There was a whisper that Forster might start a game (but I cant see it as he is woeful with a high line).

If you are that on the fence (and I am on a wildcard) if you want to set and forget go Martinez as he plays an extra game! :P

It will likely end up being much for muchness over the season.

I would go for Ryan if you dont have Lamptey as Brighton will keep more cleans than Villa.

I currently have Ryan and Martinez as my two keepers....

Happy enough with rest of team and have .2 from rises in the bank....am considering transferring out one of the 4.5 keepers and sticking with the other lad a nice few GW's ......all going well.

Martinez is very close to a rise on Fpl Stats....on 100%
whereas Ryan is -7%
Martinez has Fulham A, Liverpool H, Leicester A, Leeds H,Southampton H, Arsenal A, Brighton H, and a run of nice fixtures after that including West Ham and Newcastle.

Ryan has Man Utd H,Everton A, Crystal Palace A,West Brom H,Spurs A,Burnley H, Aston Villa A,has a few nasty fixtures then including Liverpool and Leicester.

My gut tells me Ryan has a steadier defence ahead of him.....Tyrone Mings never fills me full of confidence whenever I see Villa playing:)

Appreciate any thoughts on which keeper to ditch?....would invest the .5 saved to upgrade to likes of Werner up front or to Robbo in defence.

if going with Martinez who is best 4.0 backup to get and same question if going for Ryan?

Apologies for long post but this could be a season maker for me if I get it right;)

Seriously thinking of Bench Boost this week with the following bench:

McCarthy (bur)
KWP (bur)
Taylor (SOU)
Harrison (shu)

I picked a squad with 15 starters for the first few weeks and will most likely Wildcard in the next couple of weeks, which will no doubt involve having some fodder on the bench. Usually keep this for later in the season for DGWs, but never found it to be worth much and it is a complete headwrecker.

Not sure I will get better fixtures on the bench, plus I'm on a -4, so would like to mitigate it this week!

What are your thoughts?

I’d be tempted to go for it. As good fixtures as any to use it on, It gives you the option of maybe freeing up maybe .5 or 1m when you use your wildcard.
I know there maybe dgw’s later in the season but like you said it can be a bit of a head wreck, but I’ve started to come around to the idea of using that chip early and try to get better use out of extra money to put into players you want in your team and otherwise might not been able to afford.

Who knows what will happen with Covid and fixtures - if we ended up with multiple DGW in future - you might prefer to keep it until then.
