🙌What a fantastic breakdown! Kudos!

Which goalkeeper would you pick on WC current GW?

🧠Actually Nunes is not a bad shoutout! Thank you for brining it to my attention!

E: O’Reilly 🤙

I am still of the theory of Woltemade rotation risk.

1. If they play together, one will definitely get subbed early for balance/change of dynamics
2. If one starts, Eddie will have options to adjust depending on the opposition/fixture congestion

I see no world where their minutes are not managed.

If you were a betting man, how many clean sheets you see against MCI, eve, TOT, BUR?

🤡Apart from the 3 penalties saved by Pope for that period, of course.

🎯Exactly this. Thiago looks 90 minutes. I guess does not play for Brazil NT. Does not play European football.
🤦‍♂️Recency bias hits hard, especially when I had this same dilemma on my WC 3 GWs ago..

I don't like any of City assets bar Haaland. Feels like no player gets consistently 80+ minutes, 90 even. And it stinks.

🤔However, I might steal this Gvardiol move from you. It is him vs Virgil for me.

I have to ask from my FPL pov, having Pope, Thaw and Woltemade. And 3 transfers.

Do I hold all of them or consider replacements?

1. Woltemade seems like no 90 minute man when Wissa is back, although I do not know when this will happen.
2. Pope and Thiaw - clean sheets dried up

😆Can we afford ourselves the luxury to hype up Doku?

Who for? Midfielder do not inspire much.

Passed the eye test as well. Variance had other in store for us.

Certainly. I captained him to defuse the guy. 🤐

Of course I can always bench Caicedo, but the idea with him is to be played week in week out, because one can not predict when is he going to deliver. He scored against Liverpool and Tottenham - perfectly benchable games 😬

I guess this is not the week to tinker then.

Dodged a bullet there!

🔒You, I agree DefCon should be easily obtained.
🤪Hopefully with a bag full of goals (as a CRY 3ple owner).

Of course this is a marginal decision and mostly best going with your gut. My 2 cents are Gundmund instead of Van Hecke.
.. and roll.

Some serious benching headache for the upcoming GW. I feel like I can go against the grain in this one and bench Semenyo. Any thoughts?

Is it an overkill owning both of them as I do? Gabriel-Timber-Munoz-Guehi :D

Generally forwards suck. If you can afford defender or midfielder punt AND you feel kinky about it^^
Otherwise your plan is solid.

I get it. Football evolves and I am to become a grumpy old man, craving the days of the past. 🤷‍♂️

Please, compare the names and positions of the first 10. Are you not entertained? 🤡

I will tell you a tale of 2 seasons, just 3 years apart:
- 2022-23, peak attacking players, peak prices, hard to attain all of them at once, rooting for goals galore.
- 2025-26, peak defensive players, affordable prices, rooting for set pieces.
Attached are top scoring players per season:

idk if I am salty or not, but the guy never took that step into the world class - skill and consistency level. I can only salute his work rate and ethic, but from fpl perspective - hugely disappointing most of the times I got him :/

Buy Cucu!!!

I would rather punt on Virgil for the safety of minutes. Imho, all Chelsea defenders are rotation risk (especially come the fixture congestion), apart from being a inconsistent defense.

I hope they can pick themselves up for my own sake 💩I have 3 players (2 defenders) for the last 2 disappointing games after seeing the amazing stats beforehand.
How do you reckon me selling Thiaw next GW for Virgil? I have Pope.

Fair enough.

Rolling my first post WC transfer. Let the clean sheet trembling begin!

I have to admit I thought it will be tougher to bench Chelsea players as I planned last GW, but it feels pretty straightforward. Am I a fool for not starting Enzo instead of Thiaw?
