@henrywinter And that's said as a Newcastle fan who loves Tino, a great right back, but his main strength is in his running / endurance, he's not going to be able to have an immediate impact on a game in the same way TAA could

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@henrywinter It is exactly the reason that Tuchel gave for not taking TAA, "different profile", which is why I think we should take him, not as a starter, but if you're a goal down with 20 mins to go, you want to be able to turn to TAA with his game changing ability from that position.

@FPL_TomHadley Had been considering FH this week to bring in Arsenal assets and Haaland over Salah, but no longer feel Ars Leeds will be a walkover and think my Chelsea assets could score vs WHU and Watkins vs BRE despite their blanks last week as those defences looked poor

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@FplFacelift @FPL_Marcello I wouldn't sleep on Tark bcos of the B'waite injury either. In @FPLfrasier 's great analysis which had Tark as the best defender he assumed xCS of 0.28, even if you reduce to 0.2, which would make Eve one of the worst defences, Tark would still be Top 5: https://t.co/OmyTcrFlXh

[FPL Frasier @FPLfrasier]

4. Which are the best defenders in the game?

x-axis: Expected points from CS, goals, assists, and DC
y-axis: Minutes played per game

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@FplFacelift @FPL_Marcello Change one of the Forest defenders to Neco and upgrade KDH to Reijnders and this could be it

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@4lex_mcfc I expect he will start the first 3 PL games but once CL starts I'm not as confident as I previously was with him

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@4lex_mcfc Hi Alex, interested to get your thoughts on whether even Haaland is still "nailed"? Saw he was benched a couple of times in the CWC with Marmoush starting up top, against Al Wydad rotation poss normal, but also against Juve in a game City had to win to top the group

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@SpirosValouxis Taa to Gabriel

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@LeeHannan1 @Im_RobM @Michaelheslop Yeah think this is the one that shows the obligation is dependent on "performance related criteria". I had thought that would be based on number of PL appearances but then it seems especially odd the times we have bought him on are only for 5-10 mins, so maybe it is mins based...

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@Fantasypaedia Something doesn't add up in these stats that Isak had 3 big chances but doesn't appear in the Top 5 for xG. I know probably different sources but why I always take stats with a pinch of salt particularly if looking at 1 game in isolation vs long term

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@tonypdickinson @OfficialFPL Odegaard becomes Toney, White becomes Mee. 22 pts less.

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@BigManBakar Squad below, 1FT. Obvious move is KDB to Bruno but means I will have to -4 next wk to get 3 x MCI & ARS. Tempted by aggressive move of -4 this week Almiron + Kane -> Bruno + Nketiah, think score more this week, sets up that I could roll GW23 and removes Almiron ahead GW25. WDYT?

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@RegretFpl Any way you'd use the $1.5m ITB as this looks fairly G2G to me (with Mbappe 12th man)? Considerations are:
- Upgrade Sosa to Estupinian as 1wk punt and maybe Rochet to Pasveer
- Upgrade Pasalic to who?
- Keep ITB to transfer Batshauyi to Richarlison if he doesn't start

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@GlennKi87 @RegretFpl Walker will play most games for me, just not West Ham away. I like having 1 option rotating off bench. Don't want to be playing Neto etc every game.

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@RegretFpl Yeah that is the obvious option, although despite their strong pre season and decent fixtures, still not sure I trust Arsenal enough to triple up. Considering doing Rashy / Zinch to Martinelli / Dalot, altho like you have concerns on Utd defence

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

Law of physics 101: If England's cricket and football teams are good at the same time, the universe will implode

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@BigManBakar @drafthound Defending 3pt lead, current team:

Schmeichel (Pope)
Robbo Cancelo Rudiger Emerson (Cash)
Salah Mount Odegaard (Raphinha Gordon)
Jesus Nketiah Werner

Wdyt:
1. Werner to Toney, Robbo cap
2. Salah & Werner to Son & Vardy, Son cap (-4)
3. S&W to Diaz & Kane, Kane cap (-4)

[Alan Wade @awade1611]

@SW_Help can you please give a reason as to why your 18:51 from Hampton to Waterloo departed 5 mins ahead of schedule?! Or the driver just wanting to clock off early tonight?
