Getting the most points for the season with least hits seems to be the way to play.


Personally I am set up for a 442

I've been on 4-4-2 but I'm moving to 4-3-3. Moving to 3 at the back would mean no Robertson which I am loathe to do.

One cannot have TAA and Robbo and a City resource and a Tottenham resource in a 3 at the back. So no, 4 ATB it is for me :)

Good to see you, bb. Was thinking of moving to Robertson + TAA this week. Nice to see I’m not alone thinking about a Liverpool block again.

Brilliant gameweek you had by the way. Any thoughts on Son and Kane moving forward since you don’t own either of them?

Thanks Joccki, yes, I am indeed thinking of deja vu 2019-20, like you.
Thanks for the kind words...
Never say never, but since I cannot afford the 4th big mid, Son would have to be a pass (and Bruno, KDB and Salah - if only because of them being penalty takers, take higher billing than Son). Kane, yes, is in the consideration set. KDB's slot... but we shall see. I like the predictability of Kane.

This is a super volatile FPL season, I think, and I am betting on just the sheer act of not giving in to the volatility, and just playing steadily, and hoping that that, itself, would give decent rewards in the end.
I really like your Raphinha pick, and also like that our teams are quite similar otherwise. I must be doing something right, then.
