So then.. any advice on who to replace Saka with?

I've got Palmer, Salah, Smith Rowe and Rogers. Was going to go with Mbeumo as the template solution but he's got a dreadful run of games coming up.

I went Sarr, has some great fixtures coming up and in form. But Bowen has a pretty good fixture this GW so can be a great differential. Maybe Jota or Diaz as well, but both can suddenly be rested vs Leicester.

Interesting... never saw Sarr as an FPL relevant player but he appears to have smashed it the last two weeks. I'm wary of doing anything too creative though. Everything I've tried this season has gone wrong and my rank is embarrassing.

Yeah this season has not been easy for "creative picks" as you say. But also, barring Salah, no player has been consistent, so that's why. Just try imo, after all, this game is basically 70% luck.
 
Forgot to do my team and not sure i would have gone with Palmer as captain against a solid Everton defence having also seen Spurs ship in 3 against us.

Yeah that's a good shout. He's been putting up some decent numbers lately and getting plenty of minutes.

He's on my list as a Shitoma replacement along with Maddison.

Evanilson has to go as well. Bournemouth are a good side who I've watched a fair bit of lately but the midfielders there do not pass the ball to him much. Semenyo and Kluivert are always looking to shoot.
 
Someone in my cash mini league who thought he was out of it already and was saving his chips for the cup (we also give a cash prize for the winner of that to keep people playing) scored 119 yesterday. Right back in it. I told him already that the AM chip will be a real game changer so not to give up.
 
I’ve managed to stay close to the top of my mini leagues without Salah so far this year but it’s starting to look impossible without him now. This week really killed me without having him.

Is there any info on how long will Saka be out?

Judging by the look on his face and the crutches, he should be missing this run of back to back fixtures, so I assume he will miss 3 games at the minimum.

But knowing Arteta that Lego Pep, it's just as likely that Saka has been sent to acting classes and was forced to use the crutches.
 
Saka to Palmer for me.

Anyone have any clue at all on what's happening with Cunha? Is he going to be available for the United game, do we think?

feck knows with the clowns at the FA. Probably all off now for the holidays. I've binned him anyway as Wolves fixtures are awful and so are they.

Thanks! FA leaving he work experience kid to make a call on it - everyone else has out of office on and on their fifth mulled wine.
 
I'm here with Pedro out to Jesus but I can't seem to pull the trigger. Fallen into the Jesus trap many times where you see him play 88 minutes, Arsenal 5-0 up and you frantically look through the scorers and his name is nowhere to be found.

Saka to Bruno definitely happening though.
 
I've gone from Saka and Greaves to Fernandes and van Dijk for a -4.

Probably gonna go back to Saka and Mykolenko/another 4 million defender when the former returns from injury, but the big issue is that I still haven't got rid of Strand Larsen as a result of Saka's injury.

I have had him for last 3 GW and he got 1,1,1

See, that's why they're due a few clean sheets, especially with the favourable fixtures that they have coming up. Although I think Arsenal have the best defense in the league, just edging Liverpool's.
 
Went Saka and Van den Berg to Sarr and TAA.

Thinking of getting a -4 to go Strand Larsen or Delap to Jesus/Havertz now for their home game against Ipswich and then Jesus/Havertz to Solanke next week for their home game against Wolves. Is Havertz playing as a 10 now that Jesus is back?
 
I’m going to take a huge punt over the next two weeks. I’m going to take -4 two weeks in a row to hopefully go up in rank. It’s a make or break time for my season. This Saka injury is actually a blessing cause my team is going to be more balanced with solid attack, midfield and defense. My plan is to have two big hitters in each department rather than have all money invested in just midfield.
