Looks like everyone will be bringing in Solomon next week.
Not surprised he did well. Showed a bit in the preseason. But I still think the chemistry isn't quite right with the rest of the forward set up. Hope Ange keeps him as a starter for a few weeks and lets him find his feet.

Alvarez got nothing in RDT for getting the penalty, and a slight deflection off a defender and gets no assist in RDT or FPL, oh we'll just have to be satisfied of what he scored

I thought he was guaranteed an assist for the penalty! In the other case I understand why the deflection meant he didnt get the assist though.

They've also just purchased Brennan Johnson to play in their front three, a decent chance to take Solomon's role probably, rotation is expected at very least

Depends on how much Ange wants to play Johnson, considering he chased him for so long this trade period.

LOL - Yes I did step away, but only after raking through all of the options and realising that I couldn’t make the second trade to balance it work in a way that I was comfortable.
Well you make your own luck, even if it's dumb luck.
Consider it your Steven Bradbury moment. You had no choice but to sit back and hope everyone else fell over, and they did, and you sailed to gold.

I'm not sure Trippier is essential, just doesn't seem to have the attacking threat (or the defensive solidity) as last year.
I've only seen the highlights, but it seemed that he was at the right of the back three when Newcastle had the ball... last year he would've been all the way up next to the striker.

That said, I already own him in FPL so hoping he goes bang on this nice fixture run
I can't really identify any 5 DEF I really like. He's a guy that can rack up 8 pts for doing nothing, and will always be a big threat.
I just want to have him cos I don't want to be holding my testicles when he gets a CS, assist and goal and goes 30+.
NEW are a good side and they'll sort it out eventually. We saw what they did to Villa. They've got an easy run coming and they've been hardened with these tough fixtures.
