Early transfer talk. 💰
Grabbed Jackson with my only FT at £6.6m last night, before he ticked up to £6.7. Small win, but it adds up. 🤷‍♂️
Unpopular take: price value matters more than people think. Catching rises early is how you eventually afford the expensive under-25% differentials like Gabriel, Isak, or Barcola — without letting go of the ones you already have in your team. Risky? Sure, because he might feature midweek in the EFL Cup against Bournemouth, but around £7 I wouldn't have found this transfer as appealing as it was last night. Still, it's fun to play that game once in a while. 🎢
£3.3m banked now — flexible for whatever
comes next. Team value: £104m.

@marsh86457 @BBBEARDEDBEAST I wouldn't play 5 at the back, but it looks good without Haaland this GW. 😅

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

Haaland blanked. 🫥
Isak's up tomorrow, and my armband is on him. 😬
A fearless forward against a Palace defence that leaks like a sieve. What could go wrong? 👀

Who else went (C) Isak? Drop a 🎯 if you're in, or tell me who you captained instead. 👇

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@Mark_FPL Yes. Now Haaland, Isak, Jackson and from GW16 Joao Pedro comes in for Jackson.

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@Mark_FPL 4 at the back seems better after we start using just one Arsenal defender plus Raya, and we keep one 4m defender on the bench. And 4-3-3 in most of the gameweeks.

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@BulletproofR1CK Yes we do! 🫡 I see the perfect team there. 👀

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@BBBEARDEDBEAST Looks awesome, really!

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@AndJermz I did the same and DCL blanked, so it was the best call. 😁

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@fplwinnerforsee He's good too. I think Liverpool can score plenty of goals tomorrow. 🙂

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@ManUtdDecoded I believe it's just fake news. Nothing official.🤷‍♂️

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@Ed667819 Yes, but I see a brace. ⚽️⚽️

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@david_voskanian Perfect play for this GW! 🙌

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@FPL_YNWA_FC This time should be different. 😉

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@FPL_Taqi Haaland 😅

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@foreignscouserr A 13×2 pointer would be a nice reward for not capitaning Haaland. 😄

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@thebritinvest Fake news, nothing official.

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

@akshaykumarms1 Not true.

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

No tool would tell you to play like this.
2-0 Forrest 👀, let's see how this ends. 🤘

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

They say that content creators or journalists can't be aggressive playing this beautiful game called FPL. 😅
Well, I took my sencond -4 of the season just to go against Haaland for the capitancy this GW. My gut is responsible, so let's see if it goes like GW9, when I bought Van Hecke just before deadline.

So, 2 transfers with a hit for GW10, team locked:

Mbeumo ➡️ Tavernier
DCL ➡️ Isak 🧢 (-4)
297k OR🌏

Good luck, everyone! 🍀

@TheFPLsurgeon I don't use any tools to play. I use FFH just for planning and posts on X. 🤷‍♂️

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

Just had my first look at FPL Review. 👀
I disagree with most of its recommended transfers, so my plans for the team stay the same. Problems that come up along the way can be solved with my own brain too, but I like sticking to the plan if possible.
The only tool I use is FFH, and even there I don't follow the suggested transfers or rolling advice. My first criterion will always be the eye test, my feeling and my gut. 🤷‍♂️

Which tools do you actually trust, and which do you ignore? 👇

@GeorgeMega2 YW my friend! 🫂

[Cristian Dumitru @FPLMatchReader]

My friend @GeorgeMega2 started very well this GW after he decided to play his FH just before deadline. And it was a great decision! 💪
I think he's gonna be close to 100 points at the end of GW10, but we'll see.😅 Really happy for him!
