EPL EPL SC 2025/26

[Plugger35]

141 with captain Bruno making up for several other poor scores, that moved me up to 690th overall my highest ranking so far.

Hopefully Munoz is back and a trade of Eze is still on the cards after he only played a half against Villa before being subbed off.

 

[Foxman98]

Going to go slightly aggressive this week

Cash in on Munoz to Timber (banks me over 6 million)

Use said 6 million to get Zirkzee to Thiago

Leaves me with only 12 trades however Miley next week as the only 1 I have to move and will sideways him to a Caicedo type in the next week or so

 

[UnknownPlayer]

Decent week given it was always going to be a tough one if Haaland didn't fire

as my keeper nuff played the 1st game of the round

only dropped 35 ranks to 264th

Thiago is the biggest lock of the week

Positive: Won't be rotated. 3 of the best fixtures possible. (But isn't great after that if you plan to keep. I have them in the bottom 4 fixture-wise from GW 19-30)...

Negative: Has scored 5 of his 11 goals from the penalty spot [yes, I know penalties are still part of the game!]...but as such, is not in the top 20 for non-pen expected goal involvement!!

Very, very tempting short-term play, but I still think Saka (*) and Semenyo are better options in the long run.

(*) Arsenal play 9 games in the next month!, so he's sure to spend some time on the bench, but could easily go Bang! this weekend.

But yes, well worth a look.

West Ham Burnley Wolves

I think this week could be an interesting one. Captaincy will likely be spread around a bit more than usual.

Rice VC Thiago C for me

I think it will be too. In fact, interesting month ahead!
25% owned Calafiori out this week.
Havertz and Jesus looking likely to get minutes as soon as this weekend, meaning complete uncertainty in starts and minutes for just about everyone!
Who pays for how long will be super interesting tomorrow.

Palace defenders unlikely to go big this week.
(And ? over Munoz as it is...and has 4 yellow cards...)

A good captain will be the right person from Liverpool?
The right person from Arsenal?
Haaland or Foden.
Thiago or Ouattara.
Bruno or Mbuemo.

...aaaannnnddd, sure enough, Munoz has had /is having surgery.
Out for "weeks".

Honestly, probably not the worst timing for those that have him, but potentially trade worthy.

Hincapié hit the showers early in their Champs League game means he isn't a bad medium term play home v. Wolves with Gabriel and Mosquera both "weeks" away.
You'd think Saka only coming on late means he'll be right to start EPL too, but like I said, 10 Arsenal non-defenders don't naturally fit into 6 spots. (Is Saka the safest? No idea).

 

[Atavistic]

Lots of outs this week. Munoz, Calafiori, Gakpo injured.

AFCON is a factor now. I read that it's uncertain whether Mbeumo will play against Bournemouth this week. Will have to wait and find out.

He played this morning, came off the bench.

I guess Munoz is a trade, dammit.
