@Footballera0 I fully agree we need level raisers. That’s not in contention. What is making fans lose their heads is, if we’re not able to get a level-raiser atleast get someone who can maintain the level in positions that we have sold?
In our attempt to raise the level, we have reduced it.

@OfficialFPL How does he have 154 bonus points?! That’s averaging 4 bonus points in 38 GWs - which isn’t possible

@FPL__Raptor Palestra. Alonso’s back 3 means he’ll play right wing in the midfield 5.

Will Arsenal be worthy champions if they get over the line? There is plenty of criticism of Arsenal's football, the set-piece arts/dark arts, the antics of Arteta in the technical area, and triumphalism of some fans such as the one with that presumptuous “champions” shirt. Throw in the usual club tribalism and that season-defining VAR decision (correct call but officials inconsistent in punishing grappling this season) and there’s plenty of antipathy towards Arsenal.

But it is a truism universally acknowledged that the team that finish top first are worthy champions. It’s a marathon of 38 sprints and Arsenal have demonstrated the required ability, character and stamina. They have had their mentality questioned all season (and before). From Raya to Rice, Gabriel to Gyokeres, all of the squad have shown resilience. Battlers, not bottlers. Rice in particular embodies their will to win.

It’s good to see a club keeping faith in a talented manager during the near-misses; keeping financial balance (top with fourth largest wage bill); and building a squad so that hugely capable players can come off the bench and make a big difference as Odegaard did against West Ham. And isn’t it more refreshing to see a range of champions (if they do hold on)? Five different clubs have been champions since Arsenal in 2004.

It’s also important to see a club committed to their academy, creating a pathway for Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman and others, and giving them a chance to shine; it’s good for sustainability, culture and connection with fans. It’s encouraging to see a club working with fans to improve atmosphere (tifos, coach greets). 

Off-field, too. All clubs have vital community departments; Arsenal in the Community is widely acknowledged as the oldest and one of the most impactful at home and abroad with around 100 full-time and part-time staff. There is much good about Arsenal. If they do hold on, Arsenal will be worthy champions on and off the pitch. #AFC

Not sure why Chelsea fans are so angry. Thought they were celebrating losing against Man City a few weeks ago?

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Is there a more perfect summary of the City fanbase than their most famous fan bailing on them when times get tough? Don't look back in anger, @NoelGallagher.

Till the fucking wheels fall off Mikel ❤️

They said “even if he wins it, he has to walk”

Walk we will…into the UCL Final unbeaten.

They didnt believe in us, they didnt resonate with your “message”

Is the message clear enough now?!

[Aditya Paranjpe @Aditya_PJP]

@FPLMaineRoad In today’s PL world, having managerial stability, consistent squad growth, a strong team culture and being repetitively competitive is a rare commodity compared to all the other big teams (barring City who will also be tested in post Pep era). Arteta has managed that. He stays.

Max Dowman is now the youngest goalscorer in #FPL history ⭐️

Real Madrid vs Manchester City in a nutshell

[Aditya Paranjpe @Aditya_PJP]

@FPL__Raptor Also, with Zubi + Rice in the midfield, Odegaard will not have to track back, leaving him to occupy spaces in the attack a lot more often

[Aditya Paranjpe @Aditya_PJP]

@FPL__Raptor Arsenal fan: Odegaard will be a standout pick in Mid.

Reasons:
- With Saka and Gyok ahead of him, he’ll get more space to make the final assist pass/shoot
- Gyok’s finishing will improve his assist potential
- He is already taking a lot more shots in the first 2 preseason games

[Aditya Paranjpe @Aditya_PJP]

@FPL__Raptor @OfficialFPL @FPL__Raptor curious to know your thoughts on what price Gyokares will be. In the Haaland/Salah range?
