Loads of juicy fixtures and I think people are going to jump off some serious assets. People already jumping off Jackson before a home game against Luton. I'm not thrilled at jumping off United assets before a home game against Forest. I want Mbeumo, but I'll have to drop someone very good to do it Already jumped off Bruno to Maddison but that is more about liberating funds for later transfers, keeping my other two United assets though I also reckon there'll be lots getting rid of Pedro because he was benched, he'll come back next week for a decent fixture I think. Not planning on getting rid of Jackson either If Gabriel plays tonight, I'll be rolling my other transfer to the next GW It'll also work the other way with people jumping onto Luis Diaz because he had a good week and is just as likely not to play the next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 21, 2023 Author Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2023 Yeah it might be a case that they all do well and you couldn't miss. Or, there'll be big disparity and some big transfer regrets. I'm content enough, cuz I already know I'll make the wrong decisions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gamble has already cost me 20 odd points. Another FT in hand which I'll probably roll. I'm 0.1 short of upgrading Archer to Jackson which would have been very tempting indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dud in the bunch based on upcoming fixtures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have 2 FTs and don't want to jump off the Richarlison ship yet so I might just bring in Semenyo as a 4.5 forward and roll the other FT into next GW.

Mikel Arteta admits surprise over Martin Odegaard penalty Quote Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted he was surprised to see Martin Odegaard step up for the game-winning penalty against Crystal Palace on Monday night, but hinted the Gunners don’t actually have an established order of penalty takers. Bukayo Saka would typically take penalties, yet it was captain Odegaard who stood over the ball early in the second half for the decisive moment at Selhurst Park. "I have no clue, it's about leadership of players, and if they felt it was the right thing to do, for me I'm fine," Arteta said of the situation afterwards. "They have to make those decisions on the pitch. I was surprised like everybody else, but he scored the goal which is the important thing and we won the game." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
