But generally a very nice team you have and there is potential for big scores from the differential positions every week
Any idea yet about the AM chip in GW25? We obviously will learn a lot over the next 9 days.
Was thinking about Mateta in today. 3 home games in 4 - an advantage or not, given he scored most of his goals away from home so far this season?![]()
to be fair, as much as it looks like a poor decision now, I was under the assumption Eze was out, and until he came off the bench it was going to plan! He was instrumental in the first goal and I think it was a very likely 0-0 if he had stayed on the bench. Oh well, if you want a strong squad you won't get it right every week.
I've considered maybe I should have benched Kluivert, but he had two great chances and one of them was almost an open net! just one of those things..........
Mateta is a great option I think, the fixtures are still good and he is very much the focal point of the Palace attack, on pens, and 100% nailed. Only 5% owned too. I've got no plans to sell him yet.
As for the AM chip, I'm VERY open minded as to when it will be played, Slot/Moyes have started well this week but I'm still convinced that to unlock its true power you need to hit that table bonus in at least one of the three/four games and more if possible.
My bench looks very strong in GW25 and GW26 so I've not ruled out playing the BB, and depending on cup games I could even FH in GW25 depending on who actually doubles.
As you say, the next week or so will dictate what happens as things will be much clearer, I am happy though that I'm not locked out of chip usage with the AM24; I can play BB, I can play FH, I can play AM, or I can do nothing.
Really dynamic period of FPL now, looking forward to it!![]()
Yeah, quite interesting times ahead
Think, I won‘t play the FH in 25, but getting rid of the bench boost - not the worst idea indeed
