Dunk ^Webster replaces Van Hecke

Nakamba to Wissa.
If Silva misses then i go Timber to ? and play 4-4-2
Trent gets the VC.

Dunk replaces Van Hecke

[The Banker]

I'm not sure what to do now as I have Pedro and van Hecke and was relying on 1 score because of Timber.

I think what makes the most sense to me is seeing what Haaland does as VC first. Bench Pedro. And maybe switch Timber to a cheap Chelsea defender if they start, or Pau.

And hopefully all that combines with van Hecke not coming on so that I can maintain a defensive loop for captaincy.

Strange set of circumstances to be in so early.

Webster

Whoops! I knew it was one of them

Walker or Udogie to be fielded instead of Pedro after the recent news?

 

[Vicwood]

VC Salah.

 

[Diabolical]

I’m half tempted to keep Pedro on field and just hope he comes on and scores. If I bench him, I would need to choose between Udogie or Tonali on field, and neither of them have easy match ups.

 

[vsberlina]

Pedro benched

There were reports from some to be wary of him. Wonder if it's rotation risk or soreness?

Either could do well with misc pts though. Tough one.
Spurs bad at the back, but United poor against WOL. Wouldn't rule out a CS.
Tonali could get a card, but will be kept busy so will rack up the misc pts. At least won't get minus pts for GC.

If Udogie starts, I'm starting him and risking the minus pts. Walker could be benched in Pep Roulette so at least I can transfer him out if need be.

This will become a regular occurance I think. Squads much deeper now and with 5 subs allowed, there's going to be heaps of rotation.
A strong criteria for me was players assured of starting. Just gotta get passed this BUR & LUT bye and should hopefully get easier. Hopefully.

The good thing with my set up if I bench Pedro is that I can look at Udogie’s score and decide to take that or field Tonali.

 

[vsberlina]

Joao Pedro to Pedro Neto? Robbing Pedro to pay Pablo? Elon Musk warned us about Pedro Guy.

Hinges on Pau starting, but with Mings out, hopefully he's nailed now.

 

[vsberlina]

And so it begins. Got Salah VC loop going. Don't have faith in Haaland this week, but with no Salah in FPL, mixed emotions.

BOU score but ruled out. Phew!

 

[The Banker]

Pool concede already

 

[Lenny Guildersleeve]

Pool concede already

Semenyo 0-1.

 

[vsberlina]

WTH? They score again and this time it'll definitely count. TAA you muppet.

 

[Ironhawk]

There's been a few more price changes than I realised in FPL so far (all 0.1 change).

Price rise:
Saliba, Estupinan, Chilwell, Ake
Saka, Diaby, Mbeumo, Luis Diaz, Rodrigo, Maddison
Pedro, Isak

Price fall:
Raya
Timber, Mings, Webster, Chalobah, Cancelo, Stones, Dalot, Pedro Porro
Smith Rowe, Trossard, Buendia, Dendoncker, Dango, Onyeka, Enciso, Lallana, Twine, Maatsen, Gray, De Bruyne, Grealish, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso
Jesus, Rodriguez, Lukaku, Nkunku, Calvert-Lewin, Ings

Is this about the usual amount per week? All my price changes have been positive so far at least, but I doubt that continues. Think Pedro will probably drop back to his starting price unless he gets a decent amount of time on field.

No Pool has started well
Now to pray for a Salah blank
