What makes you think that Doherty will start over Tanganga for Spurs?

Tanganga is starting! Tottenham will be without Romero and Sanchez which means a move to centre-back is likely.

……and that’s why you are writing for the FFH and I’m just a random guy commenting on the internet :D

Awesome, thx Ben
How certain are you about:
Son
DCL
Smith Rowe
Raphinha
Lukaku
Seems really hard to find up-to-date & unambiguous info on this

As certain as I can be at this moment in time… The difficulty, as always around the break, is waiting for players to return from international duty. Until that happens, they can’t be assessed by their respective clubs’… As it stands, Raphinha is out though.

Amazing content, Ben!
Just one question: Is Ronaldo, a guaranteed started?
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 9 at 8:16PM
No!
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 9 at 8:17PM
The absence of Fred may help… Pogba dropping deeper, but Ole still has lots of options.

Is this 5-day rule 100% happening then?
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 10 at 9:8AM
At the moment it, but as always…. treat this as a working document that will be updated throughout.
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 10 at 9:7AM
If Gabriel Jesus is not eligible, then I’m fairly certain Mahrez will start…
@Dominic Pangrazio
Sep 11 at 8:49AM
Thanks for your updates, Ben. Do you think Torres is looking like a likely starter?
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 11 at 9:17AM
Torres deserves to retain his place on form… but there are never any guarantees with Pep!
@Simon Oakland
Sep 10 at 6:30PM
Hi Ben. Great info btw. Given that there is no guarantee that Ronaldo will start, would you personally risk captaining him over Salah, Jota or even Antonio?
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 10 at 11:20PM
Thanks Simon… even a cameo from Ronaldo could reap the rewards. Liverpool will have a tough game at Leeds, who have a good record vs the Big Six. Tough call.

I’d expect Jensen to start for Brentford. He is the playmaker and has been badly missed. Janelt or Onyeka will be on the bench.
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 10 at 11:21PM
My only concern is match fitness/sharpness… I know Thomas Franks likes his players to be in tip-top condition. I was thinking minutes from the bench.
@zmazhar
Sep 11 at 12:47AM
Why doesn’t Emerson Royal start over Doherty?
@zmazhar
Sep 11 at 12:50AM
Also how certain are you with Kelleher over Adrian?
@zmazhar
Sep 11 at 12:52AM
And lastly thoughts on Ramsdale over Leno or is it all speculation? Apologies for 3 back to back question but I had over 100 knowing the mess this international break has been.
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 11 at 9:19AM
Irrelevant now… Alisson starts! But I was fairly confident….
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 11 at 9:18AM
Minutes with the squad being my main concern… new environment, club. May need time to settle.
@zmazhar
Sep 14 at 1:2AM
I was only concerned about these 3 and honestly it feels like Zohair 2 – 0 Ben here. Just kidding, I got lucky and was hoping that these guys start as they were in my FPL drafts because you are where I mostly learn everything about starting 11 from anyways. Thanks for all you do!

Do we definitely think Podence over Trincao? Have had Trincao in my wildcard team for the last 2 weeks – might have to change that now haha.
@Ben Dinnery
Sep 11 at 9:22AM
Never 100 per cent no… Podence hasn’t had much of a chance under Lage due to injury, but his levels are improving. It all depends on how the new manager rates him. I can’t see Jimenez or Traore being dropped at the moment.
@Niyad Vahid

Help me make this decision please. I have decided on a Premium forwarder starting GW4. Taking off Bruno for obvious reasons and replacing him with the in-form Jota. That frees up money for either CR7 or Lukaku. While I have no doubt on picking the former for the longer run, who would you put your money on for GW4 ? Lukaku’s 90 min vs AVL or Ronaldo’s time on the pitch vs NEW?

I’d be leaning towards the BLUE corner for GW4.
