πŸ’Ž Enzo vs Sarr βœ… Enzo – key role, 3⚽️ & 2πŸ…°οΈ, good fixtures until GW22, on pens ❌ Could Estevao take a more attacking role? Enzo potential injury concerns βœ… Sarr – cheap differential, good form, shadow striker role ❌ Next 2 fixtures are tough ➑️ Verdict: Enzo safer for

πŸ’Ž Bruno βœ… On set-pieces and penalties βœ… Defcon opportunity ❌ Attacking potential is diminished ❌ Defcon isn't guaranteed, making it effective 1 point/week gained ➑️ Verdict: Sell, to Saka if possible

πŸ’Ž GyΓΆkeres βœ… Decent underlying numbers βœ… Still has fixture upside ❌ His 3 goals were against Leeds (1 penalty) and Forest ❌ Penalty confusion ❌ Has struggled in more physical games (Small sample) ➑️ Verdict: Not worth selling, more of a luxury transfer

πŸ’Ž Forwards I've already wrote a thread on this, you can find it attached below https://x.com/_TalkFPL/status/... The top 3 is changing though, Pedro could easily be 1st Try to look at the negatives as opposed to the positives, look for what you need to know rather than what you already

πŸ’Ž Wildcard GW8 Look through over 70 and counting Wildcard GW8 drafts below And 1 I came up with https://x.com/_TalkFPL/status/...

πŸ’Ž Foden βœ… Decent fixtures. βœ… 2 weeks rest on int'l break. ❌ Pep roulette always a risk. ❌ KDB role limits his G/A potential. ➑️Verdict: I'd sell, Sarr/Enzo provide more safety and value.

πŸ’Ž Eze βœ… Great fixtures. βœ… Scored on int'l break. βœ… Odegaard injured means he plays in his favoured 10 role ❌ Not on pens ❌ No massive haul for Arsenal (Yet... small sample) ➑️Verdict: If you can't afford Saka, he's great, and I see a good level of points in sight

πŸ’Ž DCL βœ… Potential Pens βœ… Great short term fixtures βœ… Enabler at Β£5.5m ❌ Historical inconsistent finishing ❌ Prone to injuries ➑️ verdict: No from me, could score Vs Burnley but after that I think it's bleak

πŸ’Ž Double Arsenal attack or defence? Arsenal have been the best defensive team according to xGC in the league, but the 4th best according to xG They are 9th= for xG/shot despite being 2nd for shots taken Facing the lowest quality shots in the game through both xGC/shot and

All the data signifies why double defence is better, preferably Gabriel + Timber The defenders have attacking threat, whilst the attackers don't have defensive threat They won't keep a CS every game, but that's the upside. A goal doesn't guarantee points, a clean sheet does

πŸ’Ž Chelsea βœ… Cucurella - attacking fullback with high key role βœ… Enzo/Joao Pedro for attacking potential ❌ Sanchez - no GK transfers, and if so, Pope is better ❌ Caicedo - Just think Enzo is better (unless budget of course)

πŸ’Ž West Ham βœ… Bowen - despite overperformance he has easier fixtures I'd have Diouf in in need of a cheap defender, could play as a LWB and if not is still very attacking, Defcon potential as well Wouldn't double up on attack with Paqueta

πŸ’Ž Salah βœ… Well rested for GW8, for good long term fixtures βœ… Reliable captaincy option for GW8. ❌ Poor form - hasn't been reliable along with Liverpool ❌ Expensive, limits flexibility with Haaland + premiums. ➑️ Verdict: Wouldn't sell, becomes hard to sell as he has great

πŸ’Ž Differentials My favourite differentials for GW8 🌟 🎲 Diouf - Assist threat, on some set pieces, and an easier fixture 🎲 Sarr - On fire since returning from injury, converting his chances well 🎲 Woltemade - 3 goals in 4 games, and the focal point of the Newcastle attack

@_TalkFPL Enzo over Sarr for next 5 GWs

@_TalkFPL Caicedo? Just transferred him in 😭

@_TalkFPL Arsenal double defense now is better than double attack.

@_TalkFPL @FPLMeerkat Would you trade Anderson (Forest) out with 1.5mil itb?

@_TalkFPL Great thread, thank you!
