If you only had 8 players and 1 TF would you still have the same view about removing the likes of Antonio and those who don’t have a fixture but have ok medium term games? I.e when does lack of numbers overrule the good medium term fixtures argument?

Hi Mike, I think the decision is team / numbers dependent. I empathise that this looks very different when faced with many players without a fixture this week.
I would say if I had 8 and 1 FT, I’d definitely use the FT and probably look at a single hit for a player I want long term and go with 10 this week. I hope that helps?

Salah is probably the safer option for Captain this week. What do you think of Foden as an alternative option? Worth considering?

Not really, maybe a vice captain, but I’d go with a Saturday chap the way things are going..

Hi Rich… Matt Targett doesnt seem like a regular starter to me.. how do you see that, do you think he’ll play week in week out? although he seems to be a good budget buy..

As always an excellent article and greatly enjoyed your guest appearance on the most recent Green Arrow episode. I liked your phrase “patience is the 4th chip we are given, and it is down to use to decide whether to apply it or not” or something like that. Indeed sit tight with our teams, as long as they are structurally sound. Thanks Rich and all the best for the weekend game (p.s. Match of the day is going to be exactly that ha ha).

Thanks Simon. I think I said: Patience is the extra chip we are all given but so few of us use it effectively’ – it gets a bit twisted, but the gist is – wait for news.. wait for returns etc. Millions still making early Villa moves this week and look what happened..

sorry of course not..the situation is so fluid that all tomorrows games could still be called off, I think we’ll get a pause now TBH..

Hi Rich, I think that I will not take any risks in this round and will keep two transfers for the next round, as the current situation is unstable 😓
