This was passage that was sent out yesterday from The Sun.
Here’s a neat little trick. If you’ve got three strikers in your XI then you could bring in a fourth for Gameweek 11 by recruiting Mikel Merino (£3.5m). The Spain international is classified as a midfielder but is likely to be deployed as an emergency target man when Arsenal travel to Sunderland on Saturday. Merino replaced the injured Viktor Gyokeres (£5.4m) at half time last weekend and led the line at Slavia Prague in midweek, with tremendous results. The 29-year-old bagged a brace in the Czech capital. Merino has an excellent record when asked to play up top and he’s been prolific at international level this calendar year with eight goals in as many games. I admit this strategy is short sighted as reports suggest Gyokeres and Kai Havertz (£4.2m) will be available after the break. But if you recruit Merino now and sell him before the Gameweek 12 deadline, not only will you back the league leaders’ starting striker at the Stadium of Light, you’ll almost certainly be able to sell him for a tidy profit. If that’s too wacky for your taste then you should consider Declan Rice (£5.1m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.3m), both solid long-term picks. The pair are ranked sixth and eighth respectively among midfielders after juicy double-digit hauls in Gameweek 10. Arsenal assets are all the rage right now and with good reason. |

Honcho agree re: Cherki,
I've taken the plunge and brought him in and am starting him hoping that he plays against Liverpool, his injury has held him back but he was bought in the hope that it would be him who is the player to fill the void left by KDB, in his brief appearances so far he appears to be an assist magnet and a big playmaker and his stats in France support this, both Pep and Haaland have lavished high praise on him, think he could be the next big thing during the next few weeks in fantasy land, really hope he starts!!! |

By:
Great minds, and all that (fools seldom differ)
I've bought cherki too. |

I'm gonna give Mbeumo the C... I see a wide open game at Spurs who may well be jaded from midweek exploits... Is Gordon and Ndiaye crocked? I'm certain Gordon is and Ndiaye might be... Gordon out Rice in...

I did hear that Ndaiye's issue was cramp
|
|
By:
David Moyes confirmed that Iliman Ndiaye and is fit and has trained as normal.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson remain out. |

Shirley you'd be delighted if Sunderland scored
one more than arsenal and your arsenal players all scored. |

3 5 2 This week. Modest goalie but better of the two. Arsenal Chelsea defence - chance of shutout, assist and goal points. Core of midfield “Team of the Season” and Haaland and Matata ( scoring freely, hat tricks not out of the question ) up front.
Have an hour to mull over captaincy - but am toying going with Mateta in the hope that he scores more than Haaland. He does appear to be in a rich vein of form. Regrets and moans later.  G/L all - hope your picks all playe and last 60 mins., at the very least.  |
|
By:
I'm hoping for 50-60 points
Team has developed poorly, sack the manager. |
|
By:
Nice to see you’ve made a couple of transfers, BB, and used your bench boost nicely. Ten points from Cullen alone is great.
I’m hoping we are in a coin flip, Duffy. Could do with a Haaland shut out! |
|
By:
Thanks for the tips everyone
 Heres hoping I don't start over thinking it as I will no doubt start slipping down the table |
|
By:
We are really in a coin flip Kenbo, thought I'd take a chance and make Gabriel captain which back fired, one thing for sure is we've both got a bit of catching up to do this week

Increddibles has been busy overnight kidnapping Marc Guehi who is consequently not in Palace's squad today allowing Increddibles to slide a 15 point Keane into his starting 11.
The FPL need to get on top of this sort of thing and introduce a penalty to all players found guilty of kidnapping and such like in order to improve their team.  |
|
By:
That is a stroke of luck. Only happens to other people!
Well worth a punt making Gabriel captain. Didn’t work out this time but when it does you’re a genius! Over thinking it becomes a curse, BB. Don’t go there. I’m conceding defeat on three Arsenal defenders. Timber is going and Saka is going back in after (another) the international break. |
|
By:
I like the play of this Burnley striker who scored yesterday. Only £5.3 m. but will he get the ammunition needed? Might consider him in the near future.
I know exactly what you mean. It is a good description. Curse. Mateta for a hat-trick today to over-ride the Haaland factor. Most unlikely!  |
|
By:
Bejaysus. Palace not getting a kick!
|
|
By:
Mateta anonymous it would seem.
 |
|
By:
Mateta and Saar could have had three goals and assists between them on another day, lots of chances between the two of them in the first half.
|
|
By:
Semenyo pen. miss. Not good for quite a few I would imagine.
|
|
By:
Cherki starts
 |
|
By:
Did you put him in?
|
|
By:
Yeah
|
|
By:
G/L. Bold move in a big match.
|
|
By:
50 points. Target hit, 3 to play, bring on the goals citeh v Liverpool.
|
|
By:
Right guys, we need to rethink our strategy of giving advice to people who are already kicking are ar5e .
Last week Bish Bosher didn't even know what chips were. Just bagged 41 points from a bench boost In all seriousness, good pick on choosing Henderson as replacement for Alisson. I think he got 2 bonus so a 9 pointer bagged. |
|
By:
All about hopefully helping each other,
Rewards everybody, |
|
By:
He has a chance to be top at end of Gameweek. It's one of the highest points I think I've ever seen from a bench boost. Brilliant score Bosher.
|
|
By:
That is an amazing bench boost. I’m on 38 for the week so far with Salah still playing! He bench could feasibly beat my whole team. Top bombing, BB.

I was joking earlier with my post 16:09 , reading it back the tone looks serious , but I was joking.
|
|
By:
We knew that, TM.
|
|
By:
... Did we?! |
|
By:
Anybody on here who isn’t a bitter old cynic knew!

By:
tbh, I thought the op made some good points..
|
|
By:
I'm gonna give Mbeumo the C...
Good choice but It's a shame my entire team is cack..  |
|
By:
WD Kenbo, you did me in, I've had a good few weeks but it's down to earth with a big bump this week.
I'm going to need the International break to lick all the wounds from this week  |
|
By:
It’s been a tough week for most, Emit. At least you picked a decent captain.
That was a close one, Duffy. It’s a small mercy but I’m gonna take it. Two substitutions just before the hour mark cost you the draw. |
|
By:
I had 4 players out score captain haaland, but
can't legislate for missing pens. Now... Captaining him whilst I'm watching at sjp v not captaining him whilst I'm watching at sjp. Hmm! |
|
By:
Trying to beat Haaland is like trying to hold back the tide. I’d like to know just what Brighton did to stop Palace so thoroughly. 60% possession throughout.
Times are hard! |
, although as a Sunderland fan I hope the highest scoring Arsenal player only gets 2pts max (That would be heaven!)
