The best fixture swings to target from GW10 Read below for free ⬇️ https://www.lazyfpl.com/p/fixt...

🔸 Best Joao Pedro replacements 🎯 Pedro’s early-season points masked a serious issue -his underlying numbers are brutal. Here’s the truth: xG/90: 0.19 xA/90: 0.05 xGI/90: 0.24 📉 That’s one expected goal involvement every 4 matches. For his price, that's an obvious sell.

If you still own him, it’s time to act. Here are 4 better forwards that can get more points ⚡ 1️⃣ Mateta (Crystal Palace) – 17.2% owned 🔥 xGI/90: 0.98 (~4x Pedro’s!) 📈 Form: 7.0 📅 Fixtures: BRE (H), BHA (H), WOL (A) ➡️ The clear standout. Elite asset, and my replacement

2️⃣ Woltemade (Newcastle) – 23.3% owned 🔍 xGI/90: 0.61 📈 Form: 5.3 📅 WHU (A), BRE (A), MCI (H) ➡️ Steady, reliable, consistent points.

3️⃣ Thiago (Brentford) – 6.5% owned 🎯 xGI/90: 0.59 ⚽ 6 goals, 45 points (2 more than Pedro) 📅 CRY (A), NEW (H), BHA (A) ➡️ The under-the-radar differential with penalties

If you are looking to switch to a 2 forward formation, I am not opposed to going for Kroupi Jr Evanilson/Unal coming back doesn't bother me, as I believe it's Kroupi's spot to lose now You can play him as and when and rotate him with a 4th defender/5th midfielder

🔸 Crystal Palace 🦅 Palace’s start was extremely tough - Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, Chelsea, Bournemouth. That’s five top-nine sides already faced. Now? BRE (H) WOL (A) BHA (H) BUR (A) FUL (A) MUN (H) 6 fixtures, lower than 3 on the FDR. And that means 1 thing: time to invest

🔥 Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.7m) If you want a forward in form — it’s him. ⚽ 3 goals in his last 2 💪 Form: 7.0 📈 xGI/90: 0.98 🧠 Ownership: 17.2% Penalties, and a massive goal threat for a dangerous Palace attack, off the back of a 3rd win against Liverpool this season

⚡ Ismaila Sarr (£6.5m) 🎯 Points per start: 5.7 🔥 Only 3 blanks all season 🧠 Ownership: < 10% Plays as a shadow striker in Glasner's 3-4-2-1, giving him plenty of high xG opportunities

For defence, Guehi is good as he has great corner threat in Palace's set pieces, but he doesn't come close to Munoz 👕 9 starts ⚽️ 1 goal 🅰️ 3 assists 📊 0.3 xGI/90 🛡️ 0.33 CS/90 Also, when Sarr cuts inside as a 2nd striker, Munoz pushes up to an inside right forward, similar

🔸 Captaincy 🧢 Normally, I wouldn't even do this section, as it's permanently captain Haaland However, a few things do concern me: ⚠️ Bournemouth are flying - 2nd in the league ⚠️ Haaland's record against Bournemouth ⚠️ Will Iraola adapt to limit space to exploit? Probably!

So where does that leave us? Arsenal play Burnley this week Best defence Vs worst defence. Arsenal have conceded 3 goals this season - against Liverpool, Man City, and Newcastle That alone makes me tempted to captain Gabriel > Haaland, and maybe even Saka too 👇

With Gabriel, you have a pretty sustained floor He'll play > 60 minutes (+2) He'll very likely get a clean sheet (+4) Probably no Defcon (players against burnley don't typically get it) Maybe 1 or 2 bonus, and hope of a G/A with Arsenal's set piece triumphs so 9 points, pretty

My preference at the time of writing this thread has changed to Saka I'm also hoping the midweek goal has boosted his confidence, and he'll keep the penalty if given it Still time but I'd still consider Gabriel, and I'm 99.9% sure i don't cave into Haaland

Other options i like: Woltemade Vs WHU 🏰 Mbeumo Vs NFO 👹

🔸 Ones to Watch + Differentials 💎 ⚡ Ismaïla Sarr 🇸🇳 (Crystal Palace) Sarr’s quietly cooking 👀 💥 5 of 9 shots are big chances 📊 Best non-penalty xG among all mids 🗓️ Palace’s next 6 fixtures all FDR ≤ 3

Yankuba Minteh 🇬🇲 (Brighton) Minteh’s breakout season continues 🌊 💰 38 pts — Brighton’s top scorer 🪄 13 shots in box + 14 chances created 🗓️ 6-match run of FDR ≤ 3 ahead My differential of the week 🎲⭐️

Benjamin Sesko 🇸🇮 (Manchester United) 📊 The Forest fixture Suits him - great aerially ⚽️ 2 goals and 1 assist 💎 The United attack is growing a strong partnership, everyone is sharp now An excellent differential up front

🔸 My Team - Explanation 🎲 This is my current team. Saka captain Done Joao Pedro -> Mateta ✅ For the future, the plan is to get Munoz soon in place of Cucurella Happy to play Mukiele against Everton, wish Andersen was fit though Locked in besides captaincy 🔐

@_TalkFPL Would you play Chalobaoh or sell him for Munoz? For that i need to do JP to Welbeck or Kroupi. Makes sense?

@_TalkFPL thoughts? sell reijnders or vdv?
