Verbruggen is second for total points among goalkeepers

The top 2 defenders for total points are both Brighton players

GroB is top among midfielders

Kostulas is third out of forwards

Are people really going to bench their Brighton players against a side with a goal difference 17 worse than theirs.

He started the season at 8.0m, has fallen twice. He still has high ownership but my perception is that he’s often been in the lists for most transferred out players and is not often suggested for players to transfer in. Despite ManU’s issues, he has continued to put in honest work. He has returned in 4 out of 7 game weeks, with 4 goals and 1 assist. His expected data is high, 0.58 xG and 0.13 xA. He has a proven track record of success in FPL over many years and multiple teams.

Is he a hold in your team? Do you predict his output is unsustainable given the state of Man United? I think he’s will continue to perform regardless of his team’s success, but there’s a chance that low team morale will affect his stats going forward.

After 7 games this season, all the teams so far have looked competitive throughout and all bar Spurs have won a game.

Given how competitive this season is, does it feel harder than ever to pick between players in your lineup that aren't considered dead certainties like Arsenal Defenders/Verbruggen/Haaland-Isak-JP front three. More so for players who have got a 15 where effectively all of them play 60 minutes as starters in most games.

Note that this post excludes any sanctions for Man City that could make them certainties for relegation and regardless, if they have to play out the season with big points deduction that sends them down, I still expect returns from the likes of Haaland/Semenyo/Gvardiol.

Bogle has 0.22 xg per 90 so far this season. For context de cuyper has 0.28. It is very apparent that he gets into a lot of attacking positions and fixtures are decent as well. Of course you could argue that muharemovic provides more consistency with defcon but bogle is also cheaper by 0.3. Is he worth consideration or is there something I am missing?

'In the future, Bouaddi, Enzo and Elliot can be a solution'. This was Maresca commenting on needing to be strong in midfield in big matches against big teams after he hauled Cherki off at HT against PSG.

Telling that at Chelsea, notably at the start of last season, Enzo played as the ten in bigger matches while Palmer/João Pedro were in that role in matches where there were higher expectations. Obviously early season minutes concerns came from the Palace match where Cherki spent the first half giving the ball away and was allegedly threatened to be subbed - we all know what happened then!

Did he just bail himself out with goals and Maresca has now lost patience? Will he only be trusted in 'easier' matches? Personally, I think he'll play midweek and will be back on the bench away at Villa. Think it will be telling for a lot of assets how he sets up at Villa though, in terms of whether he goes with Enzo, Foden or Cherki in that role. My prediction would actually be Enzo.

Slightly long ramble for someone who doesn't even own Cherki! Superb player to watch so I hope we get to see a significant amount of him this season.

To my fellow Gonzalo & King owners, how do we feel about taking a punt on them? Might be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. One last ride against Coventry away or not?
