And we are back, that international/FA break seemed to last forever and I ignored FPL until yesterday. And then saw the state of my team so hit WC and only kept 4 players, Salah, Gabriel, Kluivert & Isak.
0.9m ITB.
Captain Salah.
GL all.
Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Martinelli, Merino

Subs: Fabianski, Soler, Coufal, Fullkrug, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Todibo, Soucek, Emerson.
Finally!
That break felt like an eternity.
Have launched my wildy..…let's go Template XI
Hard to avoid the template on WC. Most teams have 11/12 same players!
Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Danilo, Yates, Gibbs-White, Anderson, Elanga, Awoniyi
Subs: Morato, Toffolo, Moreno, Boly, Sangare, Sosa, Silva, Dominguez, Miguel
Man Utd XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Dalot, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dorgu, Garnacho, Fernandes, Zirkzee
Subs: Bayindir, Amass, Lindelof, Maguire, Collyer, Eriksen, Kone, Mount, Hojlund.
It's why I included Bradley in mine. The hope that something different might give me some small edge in one of the weeks.
Just pick Mateta as captain, and you'll be in for a big differential.....in the wrong direction 🤣
Let's hope Marmoush (c) pays off!
Hearing rumours of Salah getting a very strong kick today in training 😉
Gabriel off injured after 16 mins
Isn't that' just cruel!
Elanga goal for Forest!
Yates assist
Larsen goal for Wolves.
Gabriel hooked FS
WC activated
Aina off injured 40th min.
Thats 2 my starting 3 defenders gone off in first half!
Saka on for Nwaneri.
Bruno playing deep apparently....he was a late late addition to my wildy team 🙈
Saka (Martinelli)
Saka goal good Gabriel injury bad on WC that's FPL in a nutshell,
You think and think and chop and change and in the end the FPL gods screw you either way!
Arsenal clean sheet gone in 94th minute.
Muniz goal.
He also had a ‘miss of the season’ about 15 minutes ago.
That is peak FPL....a meaningless goal in every possible sense apart from wiping out clean sheets
Anyone see Aina's injury? Season ender?
Calf injury, Hard to know, but as he went off so early can't be too good
That's an annoying late goal for Fulham. More or less everyone has Gabriel, but Raya was something of a differential for me at my rank.
And I look at ML and see a team with Timber (hooked with CS intact) and Saka.
WCr's off to a poor start.
Raya was my lowest EO also at 36%. Shows how highly owed the WC template is.
The front 3 of Isak, Mateta and Marmoush are 92%, 52% & 75%. Insane!

Kluivert not in squad......so he wasn't just "tired".

FFS thought Foden would be nailed on. More fool me.
I cant imagine there's many Grealish owners these days.
