    He normally reappears around Easter time 😉


    Fwiw FotMob have him back in mid March

    There's a bit of a gap between GW26 & GW27. I wonder if it will be around then?

    Which would suggest potentially 6 or 7 more starts for Nekitah.

    Getting Salah for 25 is going to be tough if you have Kane. If I get a City mid I'll want them for 25 to make up the 11 for that week, its pushing me towards Grealish for this week, not in love with it

    Why would you go near Salah? He's atrocious this season.

    Because hes still Salah, capable of double digits, good fixtures and his underlying stats are pretty much the same as last year so he should revert to the mean

    Think its the team rather than him that's the issue, unless they start playing better he wont score big imo. At least we have a couple of GW to see if they can improve

    He's 10th in midfielders in total scores, he costs £12.7m, he has a form score of 2.3 (the lowest of the top 10), he's had 4 double digit scores out of 20 weeks(10,12,15&12).


    He's owned by 22% of players, so you're definitely not on your own, but I think he is presenting a very low rate of return for the cost outlay. If you had him from the start, he's cost you . 3m already. Saying that, I don't know how much more in price he could fall. I'd need to see consecutive gw's in double figures to take him back in.

    Whenever I've watched Pool this season, Salah seems to be playing extremely wide, nearly hugging the touchline. I think Mane's departure really affected his play.

    I like Salah as a differential at this stage, if you're chasing a lead he's a nice punt. Definitely on my radar

    So it’s Either Bruno to Mahrez for -4 or Bruno/Robbo to KDB/4.8m defender for -8.

    Robbo has the double but was unbelievably poor against Wolves.

    I'm not being funny, but he's owned by 22%. Surely that's a bit high for a differential?

    I am probably discounting that he was probably in a lot of abandoned teams from week 1.

    Just be aware that Liverpool may blank in GW 28.

    Also, Gomez should be starting the next few GWs, while VVD & Konate are still injured but VVD is close to a return which will shore things up again. Liverpool been a mess since he has been injured. He picked up that injury during GW 19, on the back of 4 league wins in a row. They haven't won since.

    Bruno -> Saka is a bit of a no brainer assuming nothing crops up in the pressers? Have Martinelli and Zinchenko already. Odegaard is cheaper and if I had extra transfers I'd do Martinelli to Odegaard, but Saka is the most explosive option?

    I'd need a -4 and some other transfer with +1.0 to get Gnonto to Nketiah otherwise.

    Kepa (Ward)

    Trippier - Burn - Shaw - Zinchenko (Bueno)

    KDB - Rashford - Marti - Bruno - (Andreas)

    Kane - Haaland - (Gnonto)

    That's a very misleading figure. 3.5% ownership in top 10k, 8.3% in top 1m.


    You're buying the potential. Four double digits hauls this season, that compares with Saka 1; KDB 3; Rashford 5; Odegard 6; Martinelli 3. Its the 12 blanks that are killing him

    Anyone think its worth a -4 to do Martinelli to Odegard?

    I think so yeah. 2 doubles in the next 3 GWs, it kinda pays for itself. It's a good long term move. I'm torn between Saka and Odegaard myself, but also considering a hit. Only think putting me off it right now is that Arsenal's fixtures aren't exactly amazing for this DGW.

    I can do a safe transfer of Bruno to KDB.

    There is also another fun option of March to Mahrez and Martinelli to Saka/Odegaard for a -4.

    I think I'll opt for the safe option sadly, as it looks like KDB will most likely play both games in the double. Can still do a -4 for Saka/Odegaard too.

    I'm so wary of having Arsenal players in for the next 8 weeks. I have 3 at the moment, but I am wondering was last week's defeat to Everton the start of the annual Spring decline that they have suffered from for years?

    I would ask what the other transfer is too? Painting it as the double transfer can sometimes make a bigger picture where it is a definite move.

    I think that was just Dyche tbh.

    But saying that, Brentford are currently the form team in the league, and Man City is the top of the table clash. 2 tough games coming up.

    5 games in 3 GWs though. Arsenal won't have any other games in other comps in that time frame either.

    1 FT this week and think I'll bank.

    My Arsenal doublers are White (wary of gametime) and Nketiah.

    City doublers are Haaland (C), KDB & Mahrez. The latter two have high ceilings but not confident.

    Could look at Mahrez to Odegaard/Saka but it's very sideways.

    Think I'd rather 2 FT's the following week.

    Team is

    Kepa

    Shaw, Trippier, White

    Almiron (been meaning to take out but Bournemouth away looks great on paper), KDB, Mahrez, Rashford

    Nketiah, Haaland, Kane

    Subs: Ward, Martinez, Bueno, Andreas.

    Honestly don't think anything stands out too much to make any transfers.

    I've already done Martial to Nketiah (4 weeks too late!)

    Well then I would say it is good as you're gaining the better Arsenal players!

    Aside from the Arsenal MID move, would you be interested in Bueno -> Tarkowski or Ward -> Pickford?

    Everton have a few nice fixtures over the next few weeks, and definitely have a game in GW 28, when a lot may blank. They have the DGW in 25 also.

    Effective Ownership at the moment is 5.8%, probably less in the top 500k.

    He'd be a lovely boost if he returned.

    I would be yeah, have my eye on Tarkowski but I'll wait til next week for sure. If I got him this week, I'll only end up benching him and don't want to waste a transfer. Rather the 2 next GW and have a full picture of what to do next.

    No way to get Saka or Odegaard without major surgery so I'll have to go without for this week and bank on Nketiah delivering the goods. 😁

    Trippier -> Tarkowski

    Gakpo -> Saka

    Solanke -> Alvarez


    Madness? DGWs in mind along with the blanks coming up (hence dropping Trippier). I was planning on getting rid of Salah but DGW in GW25 is making me think twice.

    I have a decision to make regarding which Arsenal MID to bring in - Saka or Odegaard.

    I keep putting it off. Very hard to decide between them. Both seem to have the same xMins. Saka on pens but Odegaard seems to double digit haul more often. Ake will be more defensively sound at LCB/LB for City but then Digne might not be. Odegaard will find it tougher to find space against Rodri/Silva but maybe more easily against Villa.

    I put in Saka, so based on my terrible luck, you should absolutely go for Odegaard!

    Could someone please offer me advice here. Would you play bench boost this week with this panel (would be taking a -4 to get to this)

    Kepa Ward

    Trippier Akanji White Botman Shaw

    Saka Martinelli Mahrez Rashford Mitoma

    Mitro Haaland Kane

    If I’m not using the bench boost I’d have Ward Shaw Botman and Mitrovic/Mitoma on the bench

    It's the fear of getting the 50/50 call wrong!

    I'm in a good position in a few mini leagues and need to make this one count
