    No Mane is the only glaring downside I see

    Is no Mane a glaring downside these days? I need to drop him to fit in Trippier

    3 Mane posts in a row...

    Currently thinking that most defenses are expecting the Salah threat this season and Mane might be as good an option for captain from Liverpool.
    I don't think this is what's happening at all. Mané's simply taking his chances whereas Salah is not.

    As for Mane being a glaring omission from my example 5x premium FBs team. Are many people looking to get through the next 4/5 ganeweeeks with both Salah and Mané? Seems like a lot to invest in the Liverpool attack given their difficult run of upcoming fixtures.

    Mane has a 40% shot conversion percentage. That sort of figure is completely unsustainable, even for the world’s elite strikers. The only question is how long it continues before the inevitable regression.

    Agreed - Still though nice to have him while his price is flying up. You wouldn't want to be without him with so many others having him on this form.

    Running wayyyy above xG

    The problem is a part from Alonso, who else in the Chelsea team can you count on?

    He’s a former PFA player of the year.. Still the best player in the league when on full form.

    I saw somewhere that only 4% of births arrive on the due date so it will likely be the weekend.

    Is there any statistic that we won't use/look up to better our chances in FPL? :D

    To be fair I didn’t look it up, it was said on a TV series I was watching a few nights ago.

    Ederson scored 9 months ago. So surely he scores this weekend?

    Downgrade Lossl for Hamer. You'll play DDG every week and you'll save an extra 0.5 could upgrade dier then

    When does VAR kick in proper ?

    Gonna be a boring first year with all FPL managers buying all the penalty takers.

    If it was this season I’d have started with the likes of Gross, Ralls, Milivojevic, Mooy and Neves.

    All players I wouldn’t normally ever own but 100% would have owned them from GW 1 if VAR was this season.
