Well Richarlison was a massive fail. Gone next week for sure, Alvarez and Edouard look like the leading candidates. Really want to grab Estupinan for a few weeks and cash out. DEF of Chilwell, Disasi, Torres, Udogie and Ahmedhodzic, so Torres and Ahmedhodzic are the 2 who may be moved on. To fund these, Bruno down looks like the play. The Spurs boys look ok (Sarr and Bissouma), someone else might put up a big return in the remaining games.

6/68
Played: E Haaland, M Salah (C), M Flekken, Y Wissa, D Odogie and D Szoboszlai
Yet to play: B Chilwell, P Torres, E Eze, B Saka and M Diaby
Initially was set on double Brighton in Sportsdeck and triple Brighton in FPL but Eze managed to win over the spot from Mitoma in the last few days/week before the season started in both formats. No pressure Eze but could you at least score 25 against Arsenal.
Pedro, Szoboszlai and a defender will be in the firing line when using my first boost next round with the likes of Estupinan, Bissouma and forward firming as the replacements.

RDT 6/62
Saka (c), Eze, Diaby, Chilwell and Timber replacement to play
Assuming the Timber replacement will be a Chelsea defender.
I don't own Wissa. I do have some reasons that I may not grab him despite his back to back 18's.
- I've missed the points already
- Last weeks goal had an xG of 0.04. I have rewatched it many times. He sliced it through 3 defenders and the GK, taking a touch off a defender.
- Last nights goal may as well have been a Fulham OG
- His minutes were my concern and why I didn't select him
- He is popular so do I want to POD his position?
- I quite like my midfield of Saka, Foden, Eze, Szobo, Diaby
I need to work out what I will do with Pedro. That will really sum up whether I need to move a mid on. Eze or Szobo might be collateral damage in all of this if I want Estupinan.
FPL 8/32
Saka, Chilwell and Saliba to play
Feel like this team needs much more surgery. I saw a comment that new recruit Maddo might have left the stadium on crutches. He is flagged now. Not great news. With United assets having performed poorly, 2x 4.0 promoted defenders (1 with a flag), concerns on Pedro's minutes, a 4.5mil forward I'm wondering if I need to WC. I generally do WC early but this is getting hairy on whether I can field 11 next week.

Another key consideration will be the potential cash rises relative to other players, as if your are not overly confident in his ability to keep the double figures run going, then he could be an easy flip in RD5 once the 18 disappears. The POD play could be an accelerated upgrade for a lowly owned premium whilst utilising the cash generated in the downgrades to chase quick cash rises via a boost which in turn could also bring forward the upgrade process if you manage to hop on the right ones whilst others persist with their starters.
RDT
8/138 Mitoma
Worst score so far Haaland
Saka, Eze and Diaby to play
Burned a boost already because of Timber and Pedro
Fernandes to Mitomo
Timber to Henry
Mudryk to Diaz
Pedro probably gone next week
FPL
7/25😢
3 Man Utd players in my team😢
Saliba, Saka, Odegaard and Eze to play
Been caught out in week 1 with Gabriel and week 2 with Pedro in my starting line ups and not knowing the rules properly, first year playing, so it
will be play as you learn this season
