What is with all these things I am reading on Twitter, or whatever it’s called now days, about Gabriel? What is the supposed injury and is any of it credible? At least it’s the early game tonight, so I might work on a plan B just in case.
Shows how pathetic people can be, when they resort to disinformation in a fantasy sports game, just to get ahead.
Get used to it. It's been happening for decades. Before FPL became big, Yahoo FF was the big EPL game.
There was so much disinformation out there, we banned posts on the Starting 11 forum unless they quoted the source and put a link.
We soon found out who was reliable and who wasn't. My suggestion is to find reliable sources, and just stick to them and ignore the rest as noise.

Thanks, joined (even though I've absolutely no idea what I'm doing ... :ROFLMAO:)
It's just a group, a smaller sample of rankings. You'll be able to see how the people posting here are doing.
If it's your 1st season, this is the place to be. Everyone is very vocal this year, which is good to see.
You'll learn quick, and do very well this season. Then get the bug and be back again next season gunning for the cash.

First time playing EPL RDT. This is the team I've settled on for the moment - very heavily influenced by comments on this thread. Thanks to everyone for your comments and obviously far superior knowledge of players, teams etc.

Any thoughts, comments etc on any aspect of my team will be gratefully accepted - players, cash in bank, team formation etc. Also particularly interested in thoughts re using loop. Is it worthwhile (I'm leaning towards yes) and, if so, thoughts on my present GK loop choice (Gillespie) - will he play, are there better options etc? Many thanks and good luck to all!
No obvious poor choices.

Gillespie is 3rd/4th, so safe pick.

So what’s the go with Gabriel? Went to bed about 15 minutes before lockout and just missed the rumours. Is he injured, going to be benched? Is the source reliable?
It was announced on a live stream by Andy of Lets Talk FPL. He got a message from someone about 5mins before FPL lockout at 3:30am this morning and the FPL site went into meltdown as everyone traded Gabriel > Saliba.

He wasn't sure, but it didn't allude to injury. They have just signed Timber who plays CB (but covered LB in the Community Shield) so if it's true then maybe Arteta has other plans at LB. Gabriel has been a mainstay so maybe it's not.

It's one of those things that really only affected FPL, but not greatly as swapping Gabriel > Saliba could go either way anyway.

Just saw a tweet from Andy who has copped a fair whack of abuse over the leak.

Bit rough considering he literally copped the message live in his stream and it even made him feel uncomfortable to leak it, as like he said, Gabriel plays every game.

Not to mention Arsenal haven't even kept the CS yet.
