Q) What to do with João Pedro and Gyökeres? Feels like both are living on borrowed time. They’ve got good home fixtures, which probably earns them one final pass this week.

Mateta’s the obvious replacement but he faces Arsenal away, so waiting makes sense. Once Delap and Havertz return, minutes could drop sharply - selling now could still backfire.

Q) Gyokeres to Saka worth two free transfers? Feels like a bit of a luxury. Gyökeres’ minutes are still solid, and we’ve no confirmation yet that Saka’s on pens. Saka is the better pick long-term, just not sure he’s worth 2 FTs this week.

Q) Mateta worth planning for? Maybe not this week, but the signs are 🔥 He’s leading Palace’s attack in style and the numbers back it up: Non-pen xG this season 👇 1️⃣ Palace 15.8 2️⃣ City 14.6 3️⃣ United 13.1 4️⃣ Liverpool 13 5️⃣ Arsenal 12.5

Non-pen xGi: 1️⃣ Haaland 9.48 2️⃣ Mateta 6.66 3️⃣ Gakpo 4.18 4️⃣ Mbeumo 4.13 If João Pedro blanks again, everyone’s moving to Mateta. 2.02 vs 6.66 xGi, that’s not close - Mateta is clearly ahead of the alternatives.

Q) Guiu/Kroupi genuine options this week? Guiu is emerging as a really interesting forward enabler. With few forwards delivering, 3-5-2 might be the way to go soon. Both Guiu and Kroupi should get minutes this week, but Guiu has the better fixture and is £0.2m cheaper.

Q) Reijnders: keep or sell? Not a priority sell, but his utility’s fading fast. Should start this week, though minutes could vanish quickly with City’s attackers returning and rotation looming due to UCL. Probably keep this week if you can't get to Enzo in one move.

Q) Reijnders/ Foden / Ndiaye / Kudus to Enzo in one move? Yes, I’d make that move. Chelsea’s fixtures are excellent, Enzo’s likely on pens, and he’s expected to start after getting an early rest midweek.

Q) Salah: keep or sell? One of the toughest calls this week. If you can afford to hold, I’d keep, he’s still one of the most explosive differentials in the game. But if your squad needs balance and you’ve got multiple frees, selling to spread funds is fair.

Q) Bench Boost this week? Not a bad shout, especially if you’ve got Kroupi or Guiu, both expected to start with solid fixtures. If your bench looks strong or you’ve got 4 to 5 FTs to spare, it could be a good week to get it out of the way.

Q) Who to captain this week? Feels like more of a debate than usual. Haaland’s had straightforward fixtures lately, but an away trip to Villa can open things up. Semenyo and Bruno are real alternatives - I’d still lean Haaland for now, but that could change.

Q) Five essential players to own on a WC this week? Dubravka: cheapest starting GK, perfect enabler. Gabriel: nailed in an elite defence with set-piece threat. Bruno: on pens, 90 mins, and fixtures turning. Mateta: elite xG numbers, great form. Haaland: no brainer

Q) Calvert-Lewin: keep or sell? I’d keep this week. West Ham looked dreadful defensively vs Brentford, conceding chance after chance, worth one last hurrah.
