💎 My Team Some of you will have seen that I strongly pondered selling Haaland, and bringing in (& potentially) captaining Salah. I’ve just decided against it. I say this so you understand why there’s no talk of Salah in this thread. Enjoy and have a terrific weekend 💎

💎 MUN MIDs If you look at how BRI & LIV play, both approach the game more aggressive than most. You’re not coming up against those 541 deep blocks. Rather it’s more a game of exploiting space, quick transitions, and being able to play through the block, even in central areas.

You’re offered the opportunity to slice through the sides like a hot knife on butter, it’s just whether you have the talent to do so. Manchester United evidently do. If however, we look at the next batch of six fixtures, it’s clear they aren’t the same type overall.

NFO & EVE - 442 mid-deep blocks primarily. CRY - Capable of different things, but probably transition into a mid-deep 532 OOP more than anything. TOT - Closer to BRI albeit different WHU & WOL - Currently exploitable in a number of different fashions, less relevant.

That’s all essentially to say, recently you’ve had games which suited Mbeumo, more than some of the following will. If you look at the games they’ve had prior, there’s a clear trend between Mbeumo’s “better/worse” performances & data vs better/worse stylistic match ups.

As such, the difference between Cunha & him for the upcoming fixtures is minimal in my eyes, if it even swings Mbeumo’s way in the first place! I actual prefer Matheus. Cunha getting his first goal will be a BIG deal for his confidence. This is not to be understated. His skill

Moving onto their truly brilliant captain. I could use superlative after superlative without strain, to describe their Portuguese Magnifico - Bruno Fernandes. To me, right now, he’s practically inevitable.

With the inclusion of DEFCON & how good he is on the bonus point system, OVER A LONG ENOUGH SPAN OF GAMES - he’s got a high floor. A SUPER high floor. So much quality, with set pieces & penalties, that attacking returns is again, almost inevitable. The most aggressive play?

Probably not, albeit he is capable of some monster hauls. However, as a set and forget OVER A LONG ENOUGH SPAN OF GAMES, he’ll do very well for you. He’s probably been the “unluckiest player” in the league when you consider points outcome & performances.

Depending on match up interpretation and style of FPL management: 1. Bruno/Cunha 2. Bruno/Cunha 3. Mbeumo

💎 Mateta, Joao Pedro & the FWDs The main reason for this section is just to say: - Mateta isn’t essential, whilst being a very good option. - Joao Pedro isn’t anywhere near as bad as he’s been made out to be, whilst the sales in some cases are completely justifiable.

The views on these assets are too extreme in my eyes. Yes Mateta is a very good player, who’s accumulated a lot of big chances this season, is on penalties and plays for a very good Palace team. However, I could frame it that: He’s missed a lot of big chances, and if that…

continues, he’s really hurting himself for bonus when he doesn’t get two or more returns. The number of chances he’s accumulating could reasonably reduce. Brentford are “in form”, albeit I still think their defence can be gotten at, and he has a poor record against them.

There’s no Nketiah to reduce his workload, and Wharton in a variety of different ways is a huge miss in the middle. Going him and Sarr reduces your ceiling (without Palace scoring freely) and increases your risk profile

* With all that being said, going back to the original statement, I do really like him as an option overall. Individual Quality + Team Quality + Fixtures + Platforming = High Floor, High Ceiling * There just needs to be some appreciation of the negatives!

Joao Pedro: Selling him for Mateta is completely justifiable of course, I just don’t think the gap is anywhere near as big as it’s made out to be. Short term (next 1-2 GWs) especially. I’d be surprised if he didn’t return at least once in the next two. FTs are precious.

💎 Wildcard 10 Draft Affordability & Swaps - If you can’t afford this… Bruno can be Cunha/Mbeumo. Pope can be Leno/Sanchez. Ndiaye can be Szoboszlai/Minteh (personally not a fan of the latter) If you have BB, I’d consider a 3-4-3 so you can have a playing J.King (hopefully)

💎 Captaincy I’m captaining Saka over Haaland. Football wise, there’s enough for me to do it, albeit it’s marginal. A relatively small part of the decision is based on my *feel* of how the games go, as opposed to a particular bit of analysis. A few things to consider:

- Rodri unlikely to start from the off. Harder to play through Bournemouth’s press as such. You will retain the ball less, in a game where that’s super important, because Bournemouth force chaos. Lose his defensive abilities, and bring in someone who’s less press resistant.

Saka for: - Arsenal’s RHS ball dominance & firepower - Performances recently - Arsenal’s block breaking dynamics with the FB’s role + quality & Eze - Ceiling as MID with such a good fixture - Swagger, presence & general energy. All seem different this season. (- Feeling)
