I hate him but he was a decent asset last season Didn't Zinchenko only return to training since his injury towards the end of last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2023 Death, taxes, and reece James getting injured Definitely rolling transfer now. Taking the gamble on Gabriel and have a think about what to do next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the gamble on Gabriel and have a think about what to do next week Reece James is one of the worst FPL trolls of al time. Absolutely unreal if you hit him right. But guaranteed to hurt you. I very nearly signed him instead of Stones when the Stones leak came out. Thankfully I went for a 4.5m defender and banked the money instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2023 The only problem with Reece James being injured is that it's bound to push the decent 5/5.5 mil defenders up as there isn't a great choice if you don't want to double up on the same team / play Pep roulette I was looking yesterday and if I want to replace Gabriel next week, apart from Saliba there's no-one in the price bracket so a replacement other than Saliba will most likely be a downgrade to Henry or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted August 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2023 made a bold late change. the chelsea team prediction twitter thing had something like 18 or 19 out of 20 saying gusto will start so did him for baldock and have benched gabriel. this could be a very silly decision.

villan95 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Baldock wasn't in the Sheff Utd squad then. What with my Luton players not playing either I'll do well to get points for 11 players this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
