The base of my no to Theo.

4 shots in 3 games. 2 on target. Both goals.

Average of 1 chance created per game. 3 chances created one of them involved someone scoring. I'd rather have Siggy. But I'll be going with no Everton outfield players after all that.

Narrowed it down to Wan B or Neves

S.M.B.

About to cash in on Walcott for Mhki. A little concerned as while his stats are not great he has played a lot of these 3 games in a team with 10 men.

Anyone on the Lingard train with me?

Another member of the club here. I just couldn't bring myself to transfer Walcott of all players in a week before the next round of games. I went for Moura instead despite harder fixtures and the impending return of Son, because I think he could be a season keeper. And the same bankable profit as Theo so far, if that doesn't turn out to be the case!

No and I never ever will be

Stuck between playing Neves or Wan Bissaka today. Rest of the team is:

Ederson
Mendy Robertson Alonso
Salah Mane Walcott
Aguero Zaha Arnautovic

Always get these 50/50's wrong!

Would it help if I said I had my first FPL dream of the season last night, and in it WB scored and I was left in anguish having benched him? That said, I still have him benched...

Porthallian

Who is the best MID option for 5m or less?

I wouldn't be surprised if Palace kept a clean sheet and Neves scored or assisted today because West Ham are poor at the back. Have to keep thinking it over!

Hard to say in isolation. Foster and Mitrovic.

Kept him in my draft. Beautiful

just realised that aguero isnt with argentina in the international break.

Mad stat from FFS

'the defeat at Selhurst Park means that the Eagles are still waiting for a first win without Zaha since beating Sunderland 3-2 in September 2016'

Jesus also dropped
Ederson left out for personal reasons

He better cut out that awful run-up if he stays on them.

I fcking hate that run up. It could be by any player in the world and I'll think they'll miss. It's awful

Makes a nice change from last season to have gotten returns from my Capt every week. Makes a huge difference in the game.

Difference this season is that Salah/Aguero will consistently score against the smaller teams at home whereas last season they were the games Kane was letting us down in. Love not owning him.

That Salah lad is an awful lot of money

Salah versus players with at least 120 minutes under their belt so far this season

Touches in box - 34 (1st)
Chances created - 13 (joint 1st)
Big chances - 5 (joint 3rd)
Shots inside box - Every 28.2 mins (7th)
Shots on target - Every 48.3 mins (7th)

And Salah watchers seem to think he has more in his tank that he's currently showing.

That's not how I'd analyse those stats. I'd rather say he's underperforming in terms of FPL returns and shall he kept those stats you'd expect his FPL returns to increase.

That said £13.0m is an awful lot of money. It's all about the balance of your team but e.g. Salah + Walcott vs Mané + Hazard could become debatable...
