Episode notes
Triple Captain Regret
- Julien regretted influencing others after triple-captaining Gabriel and getting only an assist instead of a haul.
- Kelly recorded a rare red arrow despite a triple captain and called the experience a double whammy of disappointment.
Trim Arsenal Holdings Before GW31
- Sell at least one Arsenal player before Blank Gameweek 31 to avoid being overrun by bench limits.
- Keep Declan Rice if you insist on two Arsenal assets, but consider selling a third like Gabriel or a weaker starter.
Prioritise Midfield Value Over Rice
- Consider selling Declan Rice to free premium midfield space and invest in teams with better upcoming fixtures like Liverpool.
- Use transfers to prioritise midfielders who will play in GW31 and offer consistent FPL returns.
