Odegaard goal (Tierney)

I think I am definitely getting Tierney and starting him now, in the FH

Really don't see them keeping a cleanie though so you'll be relying on attacking returns.

Yeah, you are probably right.

Saka, Aubameyang are the other options.
Who knows Aubameyang's enforced rest could do him good.

Saka, Son, Reguillon and Kane (c) for me.

Gw29 team beginning to look more decimated! Let’s hope for a better 2nd half.

Saka off, Pepe on

that's annoying for some next week

Arsenal are heading towards an avoid for me now. Think I'd prefer double or triple West Ham only in that fixture.

That 6/7 players you mention is still worth about 15 points at worst. If a couple of things go your way it’s easily a 30-40 point gain.

And a large percentage of 29 FHers will have wildcard in hand to plan for future weeks anyway.

Leeds v Fulham - Dallas, Raphaine are probably the only two you'd want

Brighton v Newcastle - both teams leaking goals - and neither really got any attacker worth getting. So you'd probably be hoping for 0-0.

Villa v Spurs - Most have villa defence, and most have spurs attacking coverage - so major conflict there - Bale/Kane/Waktins/Loris/Konsa perhaps?

West Ham v Arsenal - Lingard, Cresswell, Saka, Tierney? Ideally probably want PEA but who knows if he'll play.

All in all, while FH might seem like a good chip to use, your basically banking on Brighton/Newcastle being 0-0 to make major gains as most other players you want will be in your team or rivals team already.

Of course it depends on how many players you have etc. But if you have 6/7 - I think it's worth a -4 instead of using FH

Bale coming off pre 60, Sissoko on.

Another point lost.

Ndombele off, Dele on.

This reminds me of GW1.

Spurs were beyond diabolical against Everton. I sold Son after what I saw, in what set the tone for the season, as he and Kane ripped FPL up for the next while.

I fully expect Spurs to go nuts next week, despite this.

But to get to 6/7 you had to strategise that way. It doesn’t happen by chance. I will treble up on Brighton against Newcastle and hope I can get 18+ points out of it. If it doesn’t work, that’s fine. I consider my ability to have been able to choose from the whole pool of players for the last 5/6 gameweeks to be another part of the advantage gained.

If I’d looked at the gameweeks and decided that I wanted a load of the players who’ve got games in 29 I’d have gone that way instead. Getting rid of Raphinha and Bamford post their double hasn’t been punished, I’d be able to consider all of that a success if Kane hadn’t slaughtered me last week.

But last week was my only red arrow (and this week will be a nice green also unless Kane punishes me in last 25 mins) so I can’t complain too much.

This has been another sh1t weekend.
