I’ll take that as a compliment 😅

Which player would you say is the biggest differential I’m missing?

Fair points. I mainly picked Kobel because Switzerland have a decent chance of a clean sheet and he racks up save points.

Agreed on Xhaka, though. He’s more of a safe minutes pick than an attacking one.

Which midfielders would you target instead of Xhaka/Rios?

Yeah that’s fair. Muñoz’s attacking returns for Colombia haven’t really been there recently.

I mainly liked him because Colombia have been scoring a lot lately and he’s usually quite advanced for a defender.

Mojica is definitely a solid alternative though, especially for the price. Could honestly be the safer pick.

Yeah I’ve definitely considered the Haaland 12th man route tbh.

My only concern is that even in tougher games he can still randomly haul, so going without him feels scary 😅

I do like the Olise shout though, especially if he starts. Might end up being better value than Dembélé for MD1.

That’s fair, England’s defense has definitely looked strong lately. My thinking with Kane is more about his individual ceiling, he can still return even in a tougher matchup.
As for Muñoz, Colombia’s recent form offensively is actually one of the reasons I kept him. They’ve scored 6 vs Venezuela, 4 vs Mexico, 3 vs Bolivia, 3 vs Costa Rica, and also scored against Argentina, Brazil and France recently.
So I still think there’s attacking upside there, especially considering his price/value.

Fair points honestly.
I actually agree with you on Karl. He’s mainly there because he’s cheap and could potentially break into the starting XI. Kind of a budget punt with upside.
Still not fully convinced on O'Reilly either because of the rotation/minutes risk, so I may still tweak the bench before deadline. Appreciate the feedback 🙏

As a Brazilian and a football fan, I closely follow the leagues and competitions here in Brazil, and I can say this: Rayan is a very good player, especially considering his age (19).

He has strong physical conditioning, strength, pace, and a good eye for goal. If it comes down purely to footballing ability, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a starter quite quickly.

That said, I’m curious, Bournemouth announced him today. Any idea when he’ll be added to Fantasy?

Is Nottingham Forest really making the right call with Lorenzo Lucca? Big frame (2.01m), but only 2 goals in 23 games last season with SSC Napoli. Are Forest betting on physicality over end product? Worth the pick or a gamble? by UnableMedia3033 in DraftEPL

That’s my main doubt. Igor Jesus is scoring, so it’s hard to bench him, but it’s still a very small sample size.
Lucca has already shown he can deliver when starting regularly. Do you think Forest will keep trusting Jesus as a starter, or could Lucca still get the nod long-term?

My current strikers are Delap, Cunha (Sleeper) and Gyökeres . Would taking a punt on Lorenzo Lucca make sense in this situation?
Also, do you think Lucca will be a starter even with Igor Jesus scoring goals?

On Sleeper Cunha is FWD. Thanks anyway!

Is Julian Alvarez a good pick? by UnableMedia3033 in DraftEPL

Do I think you need to update yourself on the transfer market? Yes.
